PREFACE. 

JLHE increafing demand for the Holy Scriptures in our own country, nofwithffanding the 

lingular and combined efforts of infidels to defray their credit and influence, is afacl which muff greatly 

comfort and encourage the hearts of the friends of Chriffianity. Befde the many thoufands of Bibles y 

of the fever al flzes, which are annually imported, many large editions have been printed and fold in the 

United States within the laff twelve years. This call for the Bible induced the Editor to undertake 

the quarto edition of it, which he now offers to the public. He is not difpofed to magnify or eulogize 

his own labours. It, is obvioufy an expenfve undertaking. He leaves it to the patrons of Ajnerican 

literature to judge of the comparative merits of his edition, of the neatnefs and accuracy of its execution \ 

and hopes, that in thefe rejpecls, they will find it inferior to none of the American editions, which have 

preceded it. Iff-, he is fur e of public patronage. He will only fay, he has moff affiduonfly endeavoured 

to deferve it.

SUMMARY HISTORY of the BIBLE. 



X O the collection of facred writings, or holy Scriptures, of the 
Old and New Teftament, Chriftians have given the name BIBLE, or The Book, 
becaufe it is infinitely fuperior in value to all other books. It is the founda- 
tion both of the Jewifh and Chriftian Religion, though the Jews acknowledge 
fcriptures of the Old Teftament, which were collected, reviled, and 
1 by Ezra. He divided them into three parts, viz. 
T ,aiv, con-aining Genefis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuter- 

Pro. , containing Jofhua, Judges, with Ruth, Samuel, Kings, 
Ifaiah, Jeremiah, with his- Lamentations, Ezekiel, Daniel, the twelve minor 
prophets, Job, Ezra, Nehemiah, 2nd Either. 

III. The Hagiographia, or Holy Writings, under which name he included the 
Pfalms, the Proverbs, Ecclcfiaftes, and the Song of Solomon ; making the whole 
number of books 22, equal to the number of letters in the Hebrew alphabet. 
The five books of the law are divided into 54 fections, one to be read every 
fabbathday in the year. The number was 54, becaufe in their intercalated 
years, a month being added, there were 54 fabbaths. In other years, two 
fhort fections were united, twice in a year, to reduce the number to 52. 

The Scriptures were divided into fections, defignated by the letters of the 
alphabet, A, B, C, &c. by Cardinal Hugo, who flourifhed about the year of, 
Our Lord 1*40. He wrote a comment on the Scriptures and compiled the 
■firft Concordance. Afterwards, in 1445, Mordecai Nathan, a Jewifli rabbi, 
improved this ufeful invention, and divided the Bible into chapters and verfes 
as they now ftand. 

Several books are cited in the Old Teftament which are now loft. Thefe are 
the book of Jajbcr, or the Righteous, referred to in Jofhua x. 13, and 2 Samuel 
i. 18 ; the book of the Wars of the Lord, Numbers xxi. 14 ; the annals of the 
kings of Ifrael, fo frequently alluded to in the books of the Chronicles and 
Kings. The authors of thefe annals were the prophets, who lived in the 
kingdoms of Judah and Ifrael. A part only of Solomon's 3000 proverbs, and 
1005 fongs (1 Kings iv. 32) have been handed down to modern times, and we 
have entirely loft the natural hiftory of plants, animals, birds, fifties, and rep- 
tiles, written by this wifeft of men. 

Learned men are of the opinion that Ezra published the Scriptures in the 



Chaldee characters, and that the old Hebrew character is retained only by the 
Samaritans. 

The New Testament contains thofe infpired books which were written 
by the Apoftles of our Lord after his afcenfion into heaven. This part of the 
facred volume is ftiled the Netv Covenant, (as the original word ought ftrictly 
to be rendered) becaufe it contains the " terms of the New Covenant between 
God and man," or New Testament, becaufe in it the Chriftian's inheritance 
is i'ealed to him as a fon and heir of God, and the death of Chrift as a Teftator 
is related at large, and applied to the benefit of believers. This title implies 
that in the Gofpel unfpeakable gifts are bequeathed to us, antecedent to all 
conditions required of us. 

The books of the New Teftament have been all transmitted to us in the 
Greek language, which at the time they were written, was the mo ft univerfal 
language. They may be divided into three claffes, Hiftorical, Epiftolary, and 
Prophetical. The chronological order of the biftorhal books, with the places 
where and times when written, according to Michaelis and other eminent 
critics who have conlidered the fubjeet, is as follows : , 

Books. Places. A.D.

ner.

■ 



SUMMARY HISTORY of the BIBLE. 



Dr. Owen* is of the opinion that St. Matthew wrote his Gofpel for the 
ufe of the churches at Paleftine, then compofed of Jewifh converts, and adapted 
it to the condition of the times, and the nature of their circumftances. 

" When the Gentiles were admitted into the Chriftian Church, St. Luke, 
as the exigence of their ftate required, ftrengthened their faith by another 
Gofpel, accommodated to their fpecial ufe. 

" And when the invidious diftinction between Jew and Gentile had well 
nigh ceafed, St- Mark, wifely rejecting the many peculiarities of thefe two 
Gofpels, compiled a third out of their mofl important contents, for the benefit 
and inftruction of chriftians at large. 

" And afterwards, when the church was infefted by heretics, St. John un- 
dertook to confute their -errors from the life and converfation of Chrift, which 
produced the laft of thefe Gofpels ; and afforded the Author an opportunity of 
relating feveral remarkable things which had been omitted by his predeceffors. 

" Thefe four Gofpels form one complete Syjlem of Divinity, and if read in the 
order abovementioncd, we fnall find them improving on one another, and yet 
al! confpiring to one end, to a perfect reprefentation of revealed religion. 
Each of the authors confulted the writings of his predeceffors ; and either by 
the addition of facts, explanation of terms, or confirmation of doctrine, con- 
tributed fomething to the common flock, and the general inftruction of chrift- 
ians. They likewife quoted each other's words, and thereby recommended 
each other's hiltories ; by which means they became not only mutual vouchers 
for the truth of thefe genuine Gofpels, but at the fame time joint oppofers of 
all thofe fpurious ones -that -were impioufly obtruded upon the world. St. 
Luke, by his quotations referred his readers to the Gofpel of St. Matthew. 
St. Mark again referred to both the former. And all three were approved 
bv St. John, and appointed to be read in churches. Afterwards, when he 
wrote his own, it was ufhered into the world, with the knowledge, approba- 
tion, and perhaps teftimony, of all the Afiatic Bifhops."f Thus was the whole 
.evangelical hiftory finally clofed, and the Canon of Scripture eftabliflied on 
the firmed ground and moft venerable authority.

The Bible has been tranflated into a great variety of languages, which it 
would be ufelefs here to enumerate. With great labour it was tranflated into 
the Indian language, by the apoftolic John Eliot, minifter of Roxbury, in 
Maflachufetts, and published at Cambridge, (England) in 4to. in 1685. 

The firft Englijb tranflation of the Bible was made by John Wickliffe, 
about the year 1360, but never printed. MS. copies of it are preferved in 
many public libraries. About the year 1390 J. de Trevisa is faid to have 
tranflated the whole Bible, but no copies of his MS. have be«n preferved. 

* ice hi s oLifcrvatiuT sn tiie focrGufpelj, 8vo. 1764, t Dr. Owen. 



The New Teftament was .tranflated by William Tind al, affiited by Mint 
Coverdale, and printed in 1526, and in 1530 it was revifed and publifhed 
by the fame author. This was the firft printed Bible in the Englifh language. 
After the death of Tindal, Coverdale and John Rogers, minifter of an 
Englifh church in Germany, and the firft martyr in the reign of Queen Marv, 
carefully revifed Tinpal's tranflation, compared it with the originals, added 
the Apocrypha, dedicated it to Henry VIII, in 1537, under the borrowed 
name of Thomas Matthews, (whence it is called Matthews' Bible) and print- 
ed it at Hamburgh, and by favour of Archbifhop Cranmer, and Bifhops Lat- 
imer and Shaxton, obtained licenfe to publifh it in England. 

The firft Bible printed by authority in England, was the verfion above men- 
tioned, ftill further examined and amended, by Coverdale, and Archbifhop 
Cranmer, who added a preface, and after him called Cranmer's Bible. It was 
printed in a large folio volume, in 1540, and by royal proclamation, every 
parifh was to be furnifhed with a copy in its church, under penalty of 40 
{hillings a month. Through the influence of the papifh priefts with the king, 
however, its fuppreffion was ordered two years after. 

A new Englifh tranflation of the Bible, made by a number of Englifh exiles, 
in Queen Mary's reign, (among whom were Coverdale and John Knox) 
was printed at Geneva, in 1560, and called the Geneva Bible. It contained the 
variations of readings, marginal annotations, &c. on which account it was 
highly valued by the puritans in that and the following reigns. 

The Bijhop's Bible, afterwards called the Great Englijb Bible, is a tranflation 
made by Archbifhop Parker, aflifted by other learned men, and publifhed 
in a large folio volume with annotations, by the fame perfons, in 1568. This 
tranflation was ufed in churches for 40 years, though the Geneva Bible was 
more read in private families, having pafled through 30 editions in as many 
years. 

All thefe tranflations were difliked by King James, who, in 1603, held a 
conference on the fubject, at Hampton court, the refult of which was an order 
from the king for a new one, " not," as the preface expreffes it, " for a tranfla- 
tion altogether new, nor yet to make a bad one a good one, but to make a good 
one better, or of many good ones, one beft." Accordingly, in 1604, the king 
appointed 54 learned men, to undertake the accomplifhment of the defign. 
Three years elapfed before theyentered on the bufinefs. At this period (1607) 
47, of the 54, (the others, having deceafed or declined the office) formed thenv 
felves into fix divifions, engaged in executing the bufinefs affigned them. Their 
work was publifhed in 1613, with a dedication to King James, and a learned 
preface, and is commonly called, King Jamc? Bible. This fuperfeded all former 
verfions, which foon fell into difufe, and is the one now univerfally ufed in all 
chriftian countries where the Englifh language is fpoken. 

To this verfion of the holy Scriptures, the learned and judicious Selden, 
gives the following teftimony : " The Englifh tranflation of the Bible is the 
beft tranflation in the world, and renders the fenfe of the original beft, taking 
in for the Englifh tranflation, the Bifhop's Bible, as well as King James'. The 
tranflators in King James' time took an excellent way. That part of the Bible 
was given to him who was moft excellent in fuch a tongue, and then they met 
together, and one read the tranflation, the reft holding in their hands fome 
Bible, either of the learned tongues, or French, Spanifh, Italian, &c. If they 
found any fault, they fpoke ; if not, he read on." 

The verfion of the Bible, of which we are fpeaking, has been in ufe almoft 
200 years, and though not without its defects, is indeed highly excellent, being 
in its doctrines incorrupt, and in its general conftruction, faithful to the orig- 
inal. The few paffages which have been found incorrectly tranflated, have 
been fatisfactorily explained by judicious commentators, fo that no one, who 
fincerely wifhes to know the truth, need now be milled in his conceptions. 
Should a new tranflation of the Scriptures be undertaken, (which we hope 
may be done, if ever, by the concurrent voice of that portion of Chriftendom, 
who fpeak the Englifh language) the tranflators will undoubtedly be deiirous 
of adhering as nearly as poffible to the prefent verfion, and of adopting, where 
they can, a conftruction familiarized by long ufe, and endeared by habitual 
reverence. The ftyle of the Bible has long been confidered as a ftandard of 
the Englifh language, and has contributed, more than any other fingle caufe, 
to the prefervation of its purity. Its peculiar harmony and excellence can 
never be improved by any changes that modern refinement might fubftitute.*

8 And God called the firmament Heaven. And 
the evening and the morning were the fecond day. 

9 If And God faid, d Let the waters under the 
heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let

10 And God called the dry land Earth : and the 
gathering together of the waters called he Seas : and 
God faw that it was good.

AND God remembered Noah, and every living 
thing, and all the cattle that was Avith him in the 
ark : and God made a Avind to pafs over the earth, and 
the Avaters affuaged. 

2 The fountains alfo of the deep, and the windows 
of heaven Avere ftopped, and the rain from heaven 
AA'as reftrained. 

_ 3 And the Avaters returned from off the earth t con- 
tinually : and after the end of the hundred and fifty 
days, the Avaters AA^ere abated. 

4 If And the arkrefted in the feA r enth month, on the

that Noah opened the window of the ark Avhich he had 
made : 

7 And he fent forth a raA-en, which AA-ent forth tto and 
fro, until the Avaters Avere dried up from off the earth. 

8 Alfo he fent forth a dove from him, to fee if the 
waters were abated from off the face of the ground : 

9 But the dove found no reft for the fble of her 
foot, and file returned unto him into the ark : for the 
AA^aters were on the face of the whole earth. Then he 
put forth his hand, and took her, and t pulled her in 
unto him into the ark. 

10 And he ftayed yet other feven days, and again 
he fent forth the dove out of the ark : 

1 1 And the dove came in to him in the evening, 
and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off. So 
Noah knew that the Avaters Avere abated from off the 
earth. 

12 And he ftayed yet other feven days, and fent 
forth the dove ; Avhich returned not again unto him 
any more. 

13 If And it came to pafs, in the fix hundredth and 
firft year, in the firft month, the firft day of the month, 
the Avaters were dried up from off the earth ; and Noah 
removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, 
behold, the face of the ground Avas dry. 

14 And in the fecond month, on the feven and 
twentieth day of the month, Avas the earth dried. 

15 If And God fpakeunto Noah, faying, 

16 Go forth of the ark, thou, and thy v^ife, and thy 
fons, and thy fons' wives Avith thee. 

17 Bring forth Avith thee eA'ery living thing, that is 
with thee, of all flefh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and 
of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth ; 
that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be 
fruitful, and multiply upon the earth. 

18 And Noah went forth, and his fons, and his 
Avife, and his fons' Avives with him. 

19 Every beaft, every creeping thing, and every

curseth Canaan, 26 blessetb Shem, 27 and prophe- 
sieth of Japheth : 29 he dieth. 

AND God bleffed Noah and his fons, "and faid 
unto them, a Be fruitful, and multiply, and re-

2 And the fear of you, and the dread of you, fhall 
be upon every beaft of the earth, and upon every fowl 
of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and 
-upon all the fiihes of the fea : into your hand are they

thereof, fhall ye not. eat. 

5 And finely your blood of your lives will I re-

will I require the life of man. 

6 d Whofo fheddeth man's blood, by man fhall his

7 And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply ; bring forth 
abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.

neither fhall all flefh be cut oft' any more by the waters

12 And God faid, This is the token of the covenant 
which I make between me and you, and every living 
creature that is with you, for perpetual generations : 

13 I do fet my bow in the cloud, and it fhall be for

16 And the bow fhall be in the cloud ; and I will

and he was uncovered within his tent. 

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, fawthe naked-

23 And Shem and Japheth took a garment, and 
laid it upon both their fhoulders, and went backward, 
and covered the nakednefs of their father ; and their 
faces were backward, and they faw not their father's 
nakednefs. 

24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew what 
his younger fon had done unto him. 

25 And hie faid, Curfed be Canaan : a fervant of 
fervants fhall he be unto his brethren. 

26 And he faid, Bleffed be the Lord God of Shem ; 
and Canaan fhall be || his fervant. 

27 God fhall II enlarge Japheth, and he fhall dwell

7 And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and faid,

he an d altar unto the Lord, who appeared unto him. 

8 And he removed from thence unto a mountain 
on the eaft of Bethel, and pitched his tent, having 
Bethel on the weft, and Hai on the eaft ; and there 
he builded an altar unto the Lord, and called upon 
the name of the Lord. 

9 And Abram journeyed, t going on ftiil toward the

10 If And there was a famine in the land : and 
Abcarn went down into Egypt to fojourn there ; for 
the famine was grievous in the land. 

11 And it came to pafs, when he was come near to

12 Therefore it fhall come to pafs, when the Egyp-

and they will kill me, but they will lave thee alive. 

13 Say, I pray thee, thou art my filter ; that it may 
be well with me for thy lake ; and my foul fhall live 
becaufe of thee. 

14 If And it came to pafs, that, when Abram was 
come into Egypt? the Egyptians beheld the woman, 
that fhe was very fair. 

15 The princes alfo of Pharaoh faw her, and com- 
mended her before Pharaoh : and the woman was tak-

7 If And there was a ftrife between the herdmen of 
Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle. And 
the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelt then in the land.

plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, 
before the Lord deftroyed Sodom and Gomorrah,

10 And the vale of Siddim was full o/flime pits ; 
and the kings of Sodom and Gomorrah fled, and fell 
there ; and they that remained fled to the mountain ;

that I fhall inherit it ? 

9 And he faid unto him, Take me an heifer of three

three years old, and a turtle dove, and a young pigeon. 

10 And he took unto him all thefe, and divided 
them in the midft, and laid each piece one againft a-

meal, knead it, and make cakes upon the health. . 

7 And Abraham ran unto the herd, and fetched a

26 And the Lord faid, If I find in Sodom fifty 
righteous within the city, then I will fpare all the 
place for their fakes. 

27 And Abraham anfwered and faid, Behold now, 
I have taken upon me to fpeak unto the Lord, which 
am but dull and allies : 

_ 28 Peradventure there fliall lack five of the fifty 
righteous ; wilt thou deftroy all the city fof lack of 
five ? And he faid, If I find there forty and five, I 
will not deftroy it. 

29 And he fpake unto him yet again, and faid, 
Peradventure there fliall be forty found there. And 
he faid. I will not do it for forty's fake. 
- 30 And he iaidunto him, Oh let not the Lord be 
angry, and I will fpeak : Peradventure there fhall 
thirty be found there. And he faid, I will not do it, 
if I find thirty there. 

31 And he faid, Behold now, I have taken upon 
me to fpeak unto the Lord : Peradventure there 
fhall be twenty found there. And he faid, I will not 
deftroy it for twenty's fake. 

32 And he faid, Oh let not the Lord be angry, 
and I will fpeak yet but this once : Peradventure ten 
fliall be found there. And he faid, I will not deftroy 
it for ten's fake.

Abraham prayetb for Abimeiech. 

CHAP. XX. 

Abraham sojourning at Gerar, dcnieth his wife ; 
Abimeiech taketh her, but is reproved of God in a 
dream. 9 Abimeiech rebuketh Abraham, 14 and 
rcstoretb Sarah with presents, &c. 17 Abraham 
prayetb for Abimeiech. 

ND Abraham journeyed from thence toward the 
fouth country, and dwelled between Kadelh 
and Shur, and fojourned in Gerar. _ 

2 And Abraham faid of Sarah his wife, She is my 
filler : and Abimeiech king of Gerar fent and took 
Sarah. 

3 But God came to Abimeiech in a dream by night, 
and faid to him, Behold, thou art but a dead man, 
for the woman which thou haft taken ; for ihe w fa 
man's wife. 

4 But Abimeiech had not come near her : and he 
laid, Lord, wilt thou flay alfo a righteous nation ? 

5 Said he not unto me, She is my filter ? and Hie, 
/°/or'"!f«' v ' even me herfelf, faid, He is my brother : in the ||in- 
taity.' tegrity of my heart, and innocency of my hands, have 

I done this. 

6 And God faid unto him in a dream, Yea, I know 
that thou didft this in the integrity of thy heart ; for I 
alfo withheld thee from finning againllme : therefore 
fuffered I thee not to touch her. 

7 Now, therefore, reftore the man his wife ; for he 
is a prophet, and he fhall pray for thee, and thou jfhalt 
live : and if thou reftore he mot, know thou that thou 
fhalt furely die, thou, and all that are thine. 

8 Therefore Abimeiech rofe early in the morning, 
and called all his fervants, and told all thefe things in 
th'eir ears : and the men were fore afraid. 

9 _H Then Abimeiech called Abraham, and faid un- 
to him, What haft thou done unto us ? and what have 
I offended thee, that thou haft brought on me, and 
on my kingdom, a great fin ? thou haft done deeds 
unto me that ought not to be done. 

10 And Abimeiech faid unto Abraham, What 
faweft thou, that thou haft done this thing ? 

11 And Abraham faid, Becaufe I thought, Surely 
the fear of God is-not in this place ; and they will flay 
me for my wife's fake. 

12 And yet indeed she is my filter ; flie is the 
daughter of my facher, but not the daughter of my 
mother ; and me became my wife. 

13 And it came to pafs, when God caufed me to 
wander from my father's houfe, that I faid unto her, 
This is thy kindnefs which thou fhalt fhew unto me ; 

aaiap.i2 13. At every place whither we fhall come, a fay of me, He 
is my brother. 

14 H And Abimeiech took fheep, and oxen, and 
men fen-ants, and women fervants, and gave them un- 
to Abraham, and reltored him Sarah his wife. 

15 And Abimeiech faid, behold, my land is before 
thee ; dwell t where it pleafeth thee. 

16 And unto Sarah he faid, Behold, I have given 
thy brother a. thou&nd pieces of filver ; behold, he is 
to thee a covering of the eyes unto all that are with 
thee, and with all other. Thus flie was reproved. 

17 H So Abraham prayed unto God ; and God 
healed Abimeiech, and his wife, and his maid fer- 
vants; and they bare children. 

18 For the Lord had fait clofed up all the wombs 
of the houfe of Abimeiech becaufe of Sarah, Abra- 
ham's wife.

6 IT And Sarah faid, God hath made me to laugh, 
so that all that hear will laugh with me. 

7 And Ihe faid, Who would have faid unto Abra- 
ham, that Sarah fhould have given children fuck ' 
for I have bome him a fon in his old age. 

8 And the child grew and was weaned : and Abraham 
made a great feaft the same day that Ifaac was weaned. 

9 IF And Sarah faw the fon of Hagar the .Egyptian, 
which flie had borne unto Abraham, mocking. 

10 Wherefore ihe faid unto Abraham, d Caftout 
this bond woman and her fon : fer-the fon of this bond 
woman fhall not be heir with my fon, even with Ifaac. 

11 And the thing was very grievous in Abraham's 
light, becaufe of his fon. 

12 And God faid unto Abraham, Let it not be 
grievous in thy light, becaufe of the lad, and becaufe 
of thy bond woman ; in all that Sarah hath faid unto 
thee, hearken unto her voice : for in Ilaac fllall thy 
feed be called. 

13 And alfo of the fon of the bond woman will I 
make a nation, becaufe he is thy feed. 

14 And Abraham rofe up early in the morning, 
and took bread, and a bottle of water, and gave it un-

and fent her away : and flie departed, and wandered

faid, Let me not fee the death of the child. And flie 
fat over againft him, and lifted up her voice and wept. 

17 And God heard the voice of the lad : and the 
angel of God called to Hagar out of heaven, and faid 
unto her, What aileth thee, Hagar ? fear not •, for God 
hath heard the voice of the lad where he is. 

18 Arife, lift up the lad, and hold him in thine 
hand : for I will make him a great nation. 

19 And God opened her eyes, and flie. faw a well 
of water ; and ihe went and filled the bottle with wa-

20 And God was with the lad ; and he grew, and 
dwelt in the wildernefs, and became an archer. 

21 And he dwelt in the wildernefs of Paran : and 
his mother took him a wife out of the land of Egypt.

25 And Abraham reproved Abimelech becaufe of

lently taken away. 

26 And Abimelech faid, I wot not who hath done 
this thing ; neither didft thou tell me, neither yet

27 And Abraham took fheep and oxen, and gave 
them unto Abimelech : and both of them made a cov-

28 And Abraham fet feven ewe lambs of the Hock

U "" Y " , ° 7 And the fons of Jacob came out of the field when 
they heard it : and the men were grieved, and they 
were very wroth, becaufe he had wrought folly_ in 
Il'rael in lying with Jacob's daughter ; which thing 
ought not to be clone. 

8 And Hamor communed with them, faying, The 
foul of my lbn Shechem longeth for your daughter : 
I pray you give her hirn to wife. _ 

9 And make ye marriages with us, and give your 
daughters unto us, and take our daughters unto you. 

10 And ye fhall dwell with us : and the land lhall 
be before you ; dwell and trade you therein, and get 
you poffeffions therein. 

11 And Shechem laid unto her father, and unto her 
brethren, Let me find grace in your eyes, and what 
ye fhall lay unto me I will give. 

12 Afk me never lb much dowry and gift, and I 
will give according as ye lhall fay unto me ; but give 
me the damfel to wife. 

13 If And the fons of Jacob anfwered Shechem and 
Hamor his father deceitfully, and laid, (becaufe he 
had defiled Dinah their filler,) 

14 And they faid unto them, We cannot do this 
thing, to give our lifter to one that is uncircumcifed ; 
for that were a reproach unto us : 

15 But in this will we content unto you ; if ye will 
be as Ave be, that every male of you be circumcifed ; 

16 Then will we give our daughters unto you, and 
we will take your daughters to us, and we will dwell 
with you, and we will become one people. 

1 7 But if ye will not hearken unto us to be circumcifed} 
then will we take our daughter, and we will be gone. 

18 And their words pleafed Hamor, and Shechem 
Hamor 's fon. 

19 And the young man deferred not to do the thing, 
becaufe he had delight in Jacob's daughter ; and he 
was more honourable than all the houfe of his father. 

20 If And Hamor and Shechem his fon came unto 
the gate of their city, and communed with the men of 
their city, faying, 

21 Thefe men are peaceable with us, therefore let 
them dwell in the land, and trade therein ; for the land, 
behold, it is large enough for them : let us take their 
daughters to us for wives, and let us give them our 
daughters. 

22 Only herein will the men confent unto us for to 
dwell with us, to be one people, if every male among 
us be circumcifed, as they are circumcifed. 

23 Shall not then- cattle, and their fubilance, and 
every beaft of theirs, be ours ? only let us confent 
unto them, and they will dwell with us. 

24 And unto Hamor and unto Shechem his fon, 
hearkened all that went out of the gate of his city : 
and every male was circumcifed, all that went out of 
the gate of his city. 

25 If And it came to pafs on the third day, when they 
a chap. 496. were fore, that two of the fons of Jacob, a Simeon and 

Levi, Dinah's brethren, took each man his fword, 
and came upon the city boldly, and flew all the males.

ND Jacob dwelt in the land t wherein his father 
was a flranger, in the land of Canaan. 

2 Thefe are the generations of Jacob : Jofeph, being 
feventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his 
brethren: and the lad was with the fons of Biihah, 
and with the fons of Zilpah, his father's wives ; and 
Jofeph brought unto his father their evil report. 

3 Now Uraei loved Jofeph more than all his chil- 
dren, becauie he was the ion of his old age : and he 

, 0r : I made him a coat of many \\ colours. 

4 And when his brethren faw that their father 
loved him more than all his brethren, they hated him, 
and could not 1'peak peaceably unto him. 

5 If And Jofeph dreamed a dream, and he told it 
his brethren : and they hated him yet the more. 

6 And he faid unto them, Hear, I pray you, this 
dream which I have dreamed : 

7 For behold, we were binding fheaves in the field, 
and, lo, my flieaf arofe, and alfo flood upright; and, 
behold, your fheaves ilood round about, and made 
ol>eifance to my fheaf. 

8 And his brethren faid unto him, Shalt thou indeed 
reign over us r or ihalt thou indeed have dominion 
over us ? And they hated him yet the more for his 
dreams, and for his words. 

9 II And he dreamed yet another dream, and told 
it his brethren, and laid, Behold, I have dreamed a 
dream more : and, behold, the fun, and the moon, 
and the eleven liars, made obeilance to me. 

10 And he told it to his father, and to his brethren : 
and his father rebuked him, and faid unto him, What 
is this dream that thou hall dreamed ? Shall I, and 
thy mother, and thy brethren, indeed come to bow 
down ourlelves to thee, to the earth ? 

11 And his brethren envied him; but his father 
obferved the faying.

went after his brethren, and found them in Dothan.

Ilhmeelites came from Gilead, with their camels bear-

Behold, my mailer wotteth not what is with me in the

9 There is none greater in this houfe than 1 : neither 
hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, becaule

or to be with her. 

1 1 And it came to pafs, about this time, that Joseph 
went into the houfe to do his bufinefs ; and there was 
none of the men of the houfe there within. 

12 And fhe caught him by his garment, faying, Lie

13 And it came to pafs, when fhe faw that he had 
left his garment in her hand, and was fled forth, 

14 That fhe called unto the men of her houfe, and 
fpake unto them, faying, See, he hath brought in an 
Hebrew unto us to mock us : he came in unto me to 
lie with me ? and I cried with a t loud voice : 

15 And it came to pafs. when he heard that I lifted 
up my voice, and cried, that he left his garment with 
me, and fled, and got him out. 

16 And fhe laid up his garment by her until his 
lord came home. 

17 And Ihe fpake unto him according to thefe 
words, faying, The Hebrew fervant, which thou haft 
brought unto us, came in unto me to mock me : 

18 And it came to pafs, as I lifted up my voice and

19 And it came to pafs, when his mailer heard the

After this manner did thy fervant to me ; that his

AND it came to pafs after thefe things, that the 
butler of the king of Egypt and his baker had 
offended their lord the king of Egypt. 



2 And Pharoah was wroth againft two of ^ his offi- 
cers, againft the chief of the butlers, and againft the 
chief of the bakers. 

3 And he put them in ward in the houfe of the 
captain of the guard, into the prifon, the place where 
Joleph was bound. 

4 And the captain of the guard charged Jofeph 
with them, and he ferved them ; and they continued 
a feafon in ward. 

5 H And they dreamed a dream both of them, each 
man his dream in one night, each man according to the 
interpretation of his dream ; the butler and the baker 
of the king of Egypt, which were bound in the prifon. 

6 And Jofeph came in unto them, in the morning, 
and looked upon them, and, behold, they were fad. 

7 And he afked Pharaoh's officers, that were with 
him in the ward of his lord's houfe, faying, Where- 
fore t look ye so fadly to day ? 

8 And they faid unto him, We. have dreamed a 
dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And Jofeph 
faid unto them, Do not interpretations belong to 
God ? tell me them, I pray you. 

9 And the chief butler told his dream to Jofeph, 
and faid unto him, In my dream, behold, a vine was 
before me ; 

10 And in the vine were three branches : and it was 
as though it budded, a7tdher bloffoms (hot forth ; and 
the chillers thereof brought forth ripe grapes. 

1 1 And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand : and I took 
the grapes, and preffed them into Pharaoh's cup, and 
I gave the cup into Pharaoh's hand. 

12 And Jofeph faid unto him, This is the interpre- 
tation of it : The three branches are three days. 

13 Yet within three days fhall Pharaoh || lift up 
thine head, and reflore thee unto thy place : and 
thou flialt deliver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, after 
the former manner when thou waft his butler. 

14 But t think on me when it fhall be well with 
thee, and fhew kindnefs, I pray thee, unto me ; and 
make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring me out 
of this houfe : 

15 For indeed I was flolen away out of the land of 
the Hebrews ; and here alio have I done nothing that 
they fhould put me into the dungeon. 

16 When the chief baker faw that the interpretation 
was good, he faid unto Jofeph, I alfo was in my dream, 
and, behold, I had three || white bafkets on my head. 

17 And in the uppermoit bafket there was of all 
manner of t bake meats for Pharaoh ; and the birds 
did eat them out of the bafket upon my head. 

18 And Jofeph atifwered and faid, This is the in- 
terpretation thereof: The three bafkets are three days. 

19 Yet within three days fhall Pharaoh lift up thy 
head from off thee, and fhall hang thee on a tree ; and 
the birds fhall eat thy flefh from off thee. 

20 H And it came to pafs the third day, which was 
Pharaoh's birth day, that he made a feafl unto all his 
fervants : and II lifted up the head of the chief butler, 
and of the chief baker among his fervants. 

21 And he reftored the chief butler unto his but- 
lerfhip again ; and he gave the cup into Pharaoh's 
hand : 

22 But he hanged the chief baker ; as Jofeph had 
interpreted to them.

and Pharaoh told them his dreams ; but there was 
none that could interpret them unto Pharaoh. 

9 Tl Then fpake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, fay-

be known that they had eaten them ; but they were tot}K )\ ti 
full ill favoured as at the beginning. So I awoke. IfkemT 

22 And I law in my dream, and, behold, feven ears 
came up in one ftalk, full and good. 

23 And, behold, feven ears, || withered, thin, and n ou-maii. 
blafled with the eaft wind, fprung up after them : 

24 And the thin ears devoured the feven good ears. 
And I told thisunto the magicians ; but there was none 

that could declare it unto me. t 

25 HAnd Jofeph faid unto Pharaoh, The dream of 
Pharaoh is one : God hath fhewed Pharaoh what he 
is about to do. 

26 The feven good kine are feven years ; and the 
feven good ears are feven years : the dream is one. • 

27 And the feven thin and ill favoured kine, that 
came up after them, are feven years ; and the feven 
empty ears, blafted with the eaft wind, fhali be feven 
years of famine. 

28 This is the thing which I have fpoken unto 
Pharaoh : what God is about to do he fliewcth unto 
Pharaoh. 

29 Behold, there come feven years of great plenty 
throughout all the land of Egypt : 

30 And there lhall arife after them feven years of fa- 
mine ; and all the plenty fhall be forgotten in the land 
of Egypt ; and the famine fhall conf'ume the land : 

31 And the plenty fhall not be known in the land, 
by reafon of that famine following ; for it shall be very 
t grievous. 

32 And for that the dream was doubled unto Pha- 
raoh twice ; it is becaufe the thing is || eftablifhed by 
God, and God will fhortly bring it to pafs. 

33 Now, therefore, let Pharaoh look out a man dif- 
creet and wife, and fet him over the land of Egypt. 

34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint || offi- 
cers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the 
land of Egypt in the feven plenteous years. 

35 And let them gather all the food ofthofe good 
years that come, and lay up corn under the hand of 
Pharaoh, and let them keep food in the cities. 

36 And that food fhall be for ftore to the land 
againfl the feven years of famine, which fhall be in 
the land of Egypt, that the land t perifh not through 
the famine. 

37 And the thing was good in the eyes of Pha- 
raoh, and in the eyes of all his fen-ants. 

38 II And Pharaoh faid unto his fervants, Can we 
find such a one as this is, a man in whom the Spirit of 
God is ? 

39 And Pharaoh faid unto Jofeph, Forafmuch as 
God hath fhewed thee all this, there is none fo dis- 
creet and wife as thou art : 

40 c Thou fhalt be over my houfe, and according ^l^i"' 
unto thy word fhall all my people fbe ruled : only 
in the throne will I be greater than thou. 

41 And Pharaoh faid unto Jofeph, See, I have fet 
thee over all the land of Egypt. 

42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, and 
put it upon Jofeph's hand, and arrayed him in veftures 
of II fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck : 

43 And he made him to ride in the fecond chariot 
which he had ; and they cried before him, || tB;>w the 
knee : and he made him ruler over ail the land of Egypt.

44 And Pharaoh laid unto Jofeph, I am Pharaoh, 
and without thee fhall no man lift up his hand or foot 
in all the land of Egypt. 

45 And Pharaoh called Jofeph's name || Zaphnath- 
paaneah ; and he gave him to wife Afenath, the 
daughter of Potipherah H prieft of On. And Jofeph 
went out over all the land of Egypt. 

46 1[ And Joleph was thirty years old when he 
flood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Jofeph 
went out from the pre fence of Pharaoh, and went 
throughout all the land of Egypt. 

47 And in the feven plenteous years the earth 
brought forth by handfuls. 

48 And he gathered up all' the food of the feven 
years, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up 
the food in the cities : the food of the field, which 
was round about every city, laid he up in the fame. 

49 And Jofeph gathered corn as the fand of the fea, 
very much, until he left numbering ; for it ivas with- 
out number. 

50 If d And unto Jofeph were bom two fons before 
the years of famine came, which Afenath, the daugh- 
ter of Potipherah || prielt of On, bare unto him. 

51 And Jofeph called the name of the firftborn 
t! Manaffeh : For God, said be, hath made me forget 
all my toil, and all my father's houfe. 

52 And the name of the fecond called he ||Eph- 
raim : For God hath cauied me to be fruitful in the 
land of my affliclion. 

53 If And the feven years of plenteoufnefs that was 
in the land of Egypt were ended. 

54 e And the feven years of dearth began to come, 
according as Jofeph had faid : and the dearth was in 
all lands : but in all the land of Egypt there was bread. 

55 And when all the land of Egypt was famiihed, 
the people cried to Pharaoh for bread : and Pharaoh 
laid unto all the Egyptians, Go unto Jofeph ; what he 
faith to you, do. 

56 And the famine was over all the face of the 
earth. And Jofeph opened t all the ftorehoufes, and 
fold unto the Egyptians ; and the famine waxed fore 
in the land of Egypt. 

57 And all countries came into Egypt to Jofeph 
for to buy com ; becaufe that the famine was so fore 
in all lands.

6 If And Jofeph was the governor -over the land, 
and he it ivas that fold to all the people of the land : 
and Jofeph's brethren came, and bowed down them- 
felves before him with their faces to the earth. 

7 And Jofeph faw his brethren, and he knew them, 
but made himfelf f'trange unto them, and fpake 
t roughly unto them ; and he faid unto them, Whence 
come ye ? And they faid, From the land of Canaan 
to buy food. 

8 And Jofeph knew his brethren, but they knew 
not him. 

9 And Jofeph b remembered the dreams which lie 
dreamed of them, and faid unto them, Ye are fpies : 
to fee the nakednefs of the land you are come. 

10 And they faid unto him, Nay, my lord ; but 
to buy food are thy fervants come. 

11 We<7n?all one man's fons ; we are true men,

13 And they faid, Thy fervants are twelve bre- 
thren, the fons of one man in the land of Canaan ; 
and behold, th eyoungeft is this day with our father, 
and one is not. 

14 And Jofeph faid unto them, That is it that I 
fpake unto you, faying, Ye are fpies. 

15 Hereby ye fhall be proved : By the life of Pha- 
raoh ye fhall not go forth hence, except your young- 
eft brother come hither. 

16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your bro- 
ther, and ye fhall be f kept in prifon, that your words t Heb. 
may be proved, u h ether there be any truth in you : 
or elfe, by the life of Pharaoh, finely ye are fpies. 

17 And he f put them all together into ward three 
days. 

18 And Jofeph faid unto them the third day, This 
do, and live ; for I fear God. 

19 If ye be true men, let one of your brethren be 
bound in the houfe of your prifon ; go ye, carry corn 
for the famine of your houfes :

guilty concerning our brother, in that we faw the an- 
guifh of his foul, when he bef ought us, and we would 
not hear ; therefore is this diftrefs come upon us.

him before their eyes. 

25 If Then Jofeph commanded to fill their facks 
with corn, and to reftore every man 's money into his

thus did he unto them. 

26 And they laded their affes with the corn, and

to another, What is this that God hath done unto us? 

29 % And they came unto Jacob their father, unto 
the land of Canaan, and told him all that befell unto 
them, faying, 

30 The man, who is the lord of the land, fpake 
t roughly to us, and took us for fpies of the country.

32 We be twelve brethren, fons of our father : one 
is not, and the youngeft is this day with our father 
in the land of Canaan. 

33 And the man, the lord of the counuy, faid unto 
us, Hereby rti all I know that ye are true men ; leave 
one of your brethren here with me, and take food for 
the famine of your houfeholds, and be gone ;

Simeon is not, and ye will take Benjamin away : all 
thefe things are againft me. 

37 And Reuben fpake unto his father, faying, Slay

10 For except we had lingered, furely now we had

11 And their father Ifrael faid unto them, If it 
must be fo now, do this : Take of the bell fruits in 
the land in your veffels, and carry clown the man a 
prefent, a little balm, and a little honey, fpices and 
myrrh, nuts and almonds : 

12 And take double money in your hand ; and the

unto the man : 

14 And God Almighty give you mercy before the 
man, that he may fend away your other brother, and 
Benjamin. || If I be bereaved of my children, I am 
bereaved. 

15 U And the men took that prefent, and they took 
double money in their hand, and Benjamin; androie 
up, and went down to Egypt, and flood before Joieph.

faid to the ruler of his houfe, bring these men home,

17 And the man did as Joieph bade : and the man 
brought the men into Jofeph's houfe. 

18 And the men were afraid becaufe they were 
brought into Jofeph's houfe : and they faid, Becaufe of 
the money, that was returned in our faeks at the firft 

time, are we brought in, that he may f leek occafion t^tiffi, 
againft us, and fall upon us, and take us for bond- «"*" v * m 
men, and our affes. 

19 If And they came near to the ftewa'rd of Jofeph's 
houfe ; and they communed with him at the door of 
the houfe, 

20 And faid, O fir ! c t we came indeed down at c j£*?- *- * 
the firft time to buy food : 

21 And it came to pafs, when we came to the inn, 
that we opened our facks, and, behold, every man's 
money was in the mouth of his fack, our money in 
full weight ; and we have brought it again in our hand. 

22 And other money have we brought down in our 
hands to buy food : we cannot tell who put our money 
in our facks. 

23 And he faid, Peace be to you, fear not ; your 
God, and the God of your father, hath given you 
trcafure in your lacks : 1" I had your money. And he 
brought Simeon out unto them.

1 Josephs policy to stay Benjamin : 6 his cup is found 

in Benjamin's sack: 14 Joseph's brethren brought

A ND he commanded t the fteward of his houfe, 

llZr J7%- faying, Fill the men's facks with food, as much 

hcuse ' as they can cany, and put every man's money in his 

fack's mouth. 

2 And put my cup, the filver cup, in the fack's 
mouth of the youngeft, and his corn money. And 
he did according to the word that Jofeph had fpoken. 

3 As foon as the morning was light, the men were 
fent away, they and th«ir affes. 

4 And -when they were gone out of the city, and 'not 
yet far off, Jofeph faid unto his fteward, Up, follow 
after the men ; and, when thou doll overtake them, lay 
unto them, Wherefore have ye rewarded evil for good ? 

5 Is not thiszV in which my lord drink eth,and where- 
U by indeed he Hdivineth? ye have done evil in fo doing. 

6 IFAnd he overtook them,' and he fpake unto them 
thefe fame words. 

7 And they faid unto him, Wherefore faith my 
lord thefewords? God forbid that thy fervants fhould 
do according to this thing. 

8 Behold, the money which we found in our facks' 
mouths, we brought again unto thee out of the land 
of Canaan : how then fhould we ileal out of thy lord's 
houfe filver or gold ? 

9 With whomfoever of thy fervants it be found,both 
let him die, and we alfo will be my lord's bondmen. 

10 And he faid, Now alfo let it be according unto 
your words ; he with whom it is found fhall be my 
fervant ; and ye fhall be blamelefs. 

11 Then they fpeedily took down every man his 
fack to the ground, and opened every man hisfack. 

12 And he fearched,dw/began at the eldeft,and left at

felves ? God hath found out the iniquity of thy fer- \J^^ 
vants : behold, we arc my lord's fervants, both^we 

and he alio wiuh whom the cup is found. 

17 And he faid, God forbid that I lhould do fo : 
but the man in whofe hand the cup is found, he ihall 
be my fervant ; and as for you, get ye up in peace 
unto your father. 

18 IF Then Judah came near unto him, and faid, 
Oh, my lord, let thy fervant, I pray thee, ipeak a word 
in my lord's ears, and let not thine anger burn againfl 
thy fervant ; for thou art even as Pharaoh. 

19 My lord afked his fervants, faying, Have ye a 
father, or a brother ? 

20 iVnd we faid unto my lord, We have a father, 
an old man, and a child of his old age, a little one : and 
his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother, 
and his father loveth him. 

21 And thou faidft unto dry fervants, Bring him 
down unto me, that I may fet mine eyes upon him. 

22 And we laid unto my lord, The lad cannot leave 
his father : for if he fhould leave his father, his father 
would die. 

23 And thou fhidlt unto thy fervants, a Except your ****'■ 
youngeft brother come down with you, ye lhall fee "' 
my face no more. 

24 And it cametopafs, when we came up unto thy 
fervant my father, we told him the words of my lord. 

25 And our father faid, Go again, and buy us a 
little food. 

26 And we faid, We cannot go down : if our young- 
eft brother be with vis, then will we go down ; for 
we may not fee the man's face, except our youngeft 
brother be with us. 

27 And. thy fervant my father faid unto us, Ye 
know that my wife bare me two sons : 

28 And the one went out from me, and I faid, 

b Surely he is torn in pieces ; and I faw him not lince : \ cu?. P . 

29 And if ye take this alfo from me, and mifchief 57 3o ' 
befall him, ye fhall bring down my gray hairs with 
forrow to the grave. 

30 Now, therefore, when I come to thy fervant 
my father, and the lad be not with us ; (feeing that 
his life is bound up in the lad's life ;) 

31 It fhall come to pals, when he feeth that the lad 
is not with us, that he will die : and thy fervants fhall 
bring down the gray hairs of thy fervant our father

32 For thy fervant became furety for the lad unto 

my father, faying, c If I bring him not unto thee, then c 5 l I,np ' 
I lhall bear the blame to my father for ever. 

33 Now, therefore, I pray thee, let thy fervant 
abide inflead of the lad ; a bondman to my lord ; and 
let the lad go up with his brethren.

7 And God fent me before you t to preferve you a

great deliverance. 

8 So now it was not you that fent me hither, but 
God : and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and

14 U And he fell upon his brother Benjamin's neck 
and wept ; and Benjamin wept upon his neck. 

1 5 Moreover, he killed all his brethren, and wept 
upon them : and after that his brethren talked with 
him. 

16 11 And the fame thereof was heard in Pharaoh's 
houfe, faying, Jofeph's brethren are come. And it

17 And Pharaoh faid unto Jofeph, Say unto thy 
brethren, This do ye ; lade your beafls, and go, get

18 And take your father, and your houfeholds, and

in the land are we come ; for thy lervants have no 
pafture for their flocks ; for the famine is fore in the 

land of Canaan : now, therefore, we pray thee, let thy 
lervants dwell in the land of Goihen. 

5 And Pharaoh fpake unto Joieph, faying, Thy fa- 
ther and thy brethren are come unto thee ; 

6 The land of Egypt is before thee ; in the bell of 
the land make thy father and brethren to dwell ; in the 
land of Gofhen let them dwell ; and if thou knoweil 
any men of activity among them, then make them 
rulers over my cattle. 

7 And Joieph brought in Jacob his father, and fet 
him before Pharaoh : and Jacob blelled Pharaoh.

few and evil have the days of die years of my life been, ? 3 . e '

famine was very fore, lb that the land of Egypt, and all '!"j!" h 
the land of Canaan, fainted by reafon of the famine. 

14 And Jofeph gathered up all the money that was 
found in the land of Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, 
for the corn which they bought : and Jofeph brought 
the money into Pharaoh's houle. 

15 And when money failed in the land of Egypt, i 7 «a 
and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came unto 
Joieph, and faid, Give us bread ; for why lhould we 

die in thy prefence ? for the money faileth. 

16 And Jofeph faid, Give your cattle ; and I will 
give you for your cattle, if money fail. 

17 And they brought their cattle unto Jofeph : and 
Jofeph gave them bread in exchange for hories, and 
for the flocks, and for the cattle of the herds, and for 

the affes ; and he f fed them with bread for all their Tffy m 
cattle for that year. 

18 When that year was ended, they came unto him 
the lecond year, and faid unto him, We will not hide 
it from my lord, how that our money is fpent ; my lord 
alio hath our herds of cattle : there is not ought left in 
the light of my lord but our bodies and our lands. 

19 Wherefore lhall we die before thine eyes, both 
we and our land ? buy us and our land for bread, and 
we and our land will be lervants unto Pharaoh ; and 
give us leed, that we may live, and not die, that the 
land be not defolate. 

20 And Jofeph bought all the land of Egypt for 't^ 1 - 
Pharaoh ; for the Egyptians fold every man his field, 
becaufe the famine prevailed over them : lb the land 
became Pharaoh's.

1 The children of Israel after Joseph'' s death multiply 
greatly. 15 The godliness of the mid-ivives. 22 Pha- 
raoh commandeth the male children to be cast into 
the river. 

N~ O W a thefe are the names of the children of If- 
rael, which came into Egypt ; every man and 
his houfehold came with Jacob. 

2 Reuben, Simeon, Levi, and Judah, 

3 Iffachar, Zebulun, and Benjamin, 

4 Dan., and Naphtali, Gad, and Aiher. 

5 And all the fouls that came out of the f loins of 
Jacob, were h feventy fouls : for Jofeph was in Egypt 
already. 

6 And Jofeph died, and all his brethren, and all that 
generation. 

7 c And the children of Ifrael were fruitful, and in- 
creafed abundantly, and multiplied, and waxed exceed- 
ing might}' ; and the land was filled with them. 

8 IF Now there arofe up a new king over Egypt, 
which knew not Jofeph. 

9 And he laid unto his people, Behold, the people of 
the children of Ifrael are more and mightier than we : 

10 Come on, let us deal wifely with them, fell they 
multiph , and it come to pals, that, when there falleth 
out ai 13 war, they join alio unto our enemies, and right 
again'! us, and so get them up out of the land. 

1 1 Therefore they did 1'et over them tafkmafters to 
afflict them with their burdens. And they built for 
Pharaoh treafure cities, Pi thorn and Raamfes. 

12 tBut the more they afflicted them, the more 
they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved 
becaufe of the children of ifrael. 

13 And the Egyptians made the children of Ifrael 
to ferve with rigour. 

14 And they made their lives bitter with hard 
! Midage, in mortar, and in brick, and in all manner 
ol fervico in the field : all their fervice, wherein they 
made the n ferve, was with rigour. 

15 If And the king of Egypt lpake to the Hebrew 
midwives ; ' (< f which the name of the one was Shiph- 
rah, and the name of the other Piu.h ;) 

16 And he faid, When ye do the office of a mid- 



wife to the Hebrew women, and fee them upon the 
ftools, if it be a fon, then ye lhall kill him ; but if it be 
a daughter, then fhe lhall live. 

17 But the^ midwives feared God, and did not as 
the king of Egypt commanded them, but faved the 
men children alive. 

18 And the king of Egypt called for the midwives, 
and faid unto them, Why have ye done this thing, and 
have lined the men children alive ? 

19 And the midwives faid unto Pharaoh, Becaufe 
the Hebrew women are not as the Egyptian women ; 
for they are lively, and are delivered ere the midwives 
come in unto them. 

20 Therefore God dealt well with the midwives : 
and the people multiplied, and waxed very mighty. 

21 And it came to pafs, becaufe the midwives fear- 
ed God, that he made them houfes. 

22 IF And Pharaoh charged all his people, faying, 
Every fon that is born ye mall call into the river, and 
every daughter ye fhall fave alive.

18 Go, therefore, now an d work ; for there fhall 
no llraw be given you, yet lhall ye deliver the tale

I^mthe Lord : 

3 And I appeared unto Abraham, unto Ifaac, and 
unto Jacob, by the name of God Almighty : but by 
my name JEHOVAH was I not known to them. 

4 And I havealfo eilablifhed my covenant with 
them, to give them the land of Canaan, the land of 
their pilgrimage, wherein they were ftrangers. 

5 And I have alfo heard the groaning of the chil- 
dren of Ifrael, whom the Egyptians keep in bondage ; 
and I have remembered my covenant. 

6 Wherefore fay unto the children of Ifrael, I am 
the Lord, and I will bring you out from under the

and they did fo, as the Lord had commanded : and 'w- 
Aaron call down his rod before Pharaoh, and before *~ ^ r * J 
his fervants, and it became a ferpent. 

11 Then Pharaoh alfo called the wife men and the 
forcerers : now the magicians of Egypt, they alfo did 
in like manner with their enchantments : 

12 For they call down every man his rod, and they 
became ferpents : but Aaron's rod fwallowed up their 
rods. 

13 Andhe hardened Pharaoh's heart, that he heark- 
ened not unto them ; as the Lord had faid. 

14 If And the Lord faid unto Mofes, Pharaoh's 
heart is hardened, he refufeth to let the people go. 

15 Get thee unto Pharaoh in the morning, lo, he 
goeth out unto the water, and thou fhalt ftand by 
the river's brink againft he come ; and the rod which 
was turned to a ferpent lhalt thou take in thine hand. 

16 And thou fhalt fay unto him, The Lord God of 
the Hebrews hath fent me unto thee, faying, Let my 
people go, that they may ferve me in the wildernefs ; 
and, behold, hitherto thou wouldeft not hear. 

17 Thus faith the Lord, In this thou fhalt know

18 And the fifh that is in the river ihall die, and

_ 21 And the fifh that was in the river died ; and the 
river Hank, and the Egyptians could not drink ofthe 
water of the river ; and there was blood throughout 
all the land of Egypt. 

22 c And the magicians of Egypt didfo with their en- cWi9dl "- 
chantments : and Pharaoh's heart Mas hardened, nei- 
ther did he hearken unto them ; as the Lord had faid. 
23 And Pharaoh turned, and went into his houfe, 
neither did he fet his heart to this alfo. 
m 24 And all the Egyptians digged round about the 
river for water to drink : for they could not drink of 
the water of the river.

5 If And the Lord fpake unto Mofes, Say unto 
Aaron, Stretch forth thine hand with thy rod over 
the ftreams, over the rivers, and over the ponds, and 
caufe frogs to come up upon the land of Egypt. 

6 And Aaron ftretched out his hand over the wa-

the land of Egypt.

8 If Then Pharaoh called for Mofes and Aaron, and 
faid, Entreat the Lord, that he may take away the 
frogs from me, and from my people ; and I will let the 
people go, that they may do facrifice unto the Lord.

12 And Mofes and Aaron Avent out from Pharaoh, 
and Mofes cried unto the Lord, becaufe of the frogs 
which he had brought againft Pharaoh. 

13 And the Lord did according to the word of 
Mofes ; and the frogs died out of the houfes, out of 
the villages, and out of the fields. 

14 And they gathered them together upon heaps ; 
and the land ftank. 

15 But Avhen Pharaoh faw that there Avas refpite, 
he hardened his heart, and hearkened not unto them ; 
as the Lord had faid. 

16 If And the Lord faid unto Mofes, Say unto 
Aaron, Stretch out thy rod, and fmite the dull of the 
land, that it may become lice throughout all the land 
of Egypt 

17 And they did fo : for Aaron ftretched out his 
hand with his rod, andfmote the duft of the earth, and 
it became lice in man and in beaft ; all the duft of the 
land became lice throughout all the land of Egypt. 

18 And the magicians did fo with their enchant- 
ments to bring forth lice, but they could not ; fo 
there were lice upon man and upon beaft. 

19 Then the magicians faid unto Pharaoh, This is 
the fingerof God. And Pharaoh's heartAA^as hardened, 
and he hearkened not unto them; as the Lord had faid. 

20 IF And the Lord faid unto Mofes, Rife up early 
in the morning, and ftand before Pharaoh, (lo he com- 
eth forth to the water,) and fay unto him, Thus faith 
theLoRD, Let my people go, that they may ferve me :

grievous fwarm of flies into the houfe of Pharaoh, 
and into his fervants' houfes, and into ail the land of 
Egypt ; the land Avas II corrupted by reafon of the 
fwarm of flies. 

25 If And Pharaoh called for Mofes and for Aaron, 
and faid, Go ye, facrifice to your God in the land. 

26 And Mofes faid, It is not meet fo to do ; for Ave 
ihall facrifice the abomination of the Egyptians to 
theLoRD our God : lo, ihall we facrifice the abomi- 
nation of the Egyptians before their eyes, and will 
they net ftone us ? 

27 We will go three days' journey into the Avilder- 
nefs, and facrifice to the Lord our God, as c he ihall 
command us. 

28 And Pharaoh faid, I will let you go, that ye may 
facrifice to the Lord your God in the Avildernefs ; 
only ye ihall not go A r ery faraway : entreat for me. 

29 And Mofes faid, Behold, I go out from thee, 
and I Avill entreat the Lord that the fwarms of flies 
may depart from Pharaoh, from his fervants, and 
from his people, tomorroAv : but let not Pharaoh 
deal deceitfully any more, in not letting the people 
go to facrifice to the Lord, 

30 And Mofes went out from Pharaoh, and en- 
treated the Lord. 

31 And the Lord did according to the word of 
Mofes ; and he removed the fwarms of flies from 
Pharaoh, from his fervants, and from his people : 
there remained not one. 

32 And Pharaoh hardened his heart at this time

2 For if thou refufe to let them go, and wilt hold

3 Behold, the hand of the Lord is upon thy cattle 
which is in the field, upon the horfes, upon the aifes, 
upon the camels, upon the oxen, and upon the iheep : 
there shall be a very grievous murrain. 

4 And the Lord ihall fever betAA r een the cattle of 
Ifrael and the cattle of Egypt : and there ihall nothing 
die of all that is the children's of Ifrael. 

5 And the Lord appointed a fet time, faying, To-

blains upon man, and upon beaft. 

11 And the magicians could not ftand before Mo-

magicians, and upon all the Egyptians. 

12 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh,

ipoken unto Mofes. 

13 II And the Lord faid unto Mofes, Rife up early 
in the morning, and ftand before Pharaoh, and fay 
unto him, Thus faith the Lord God of the Hebrews, 
Let my people go, that they may ferve me. 

14 For I will at this time fend all my plagues up- 
on thine heart, and upon thy fervants, and upon thy 
people ; that thou mayeft know that there is none like 
me in all the earth. 

15 For now I will ftretch out my hand, that I may 
fmite thee and thy people with peltilence ; and thou 
(halt be cut off from the earth. 

16 And in very deed for b this cause have I trailed 
thee up, for to fhew in thee my power ; and that my 
name may be declared throughout all the earth. 

17 As yet exalte!! thou thyfelf againll my people, 
that thou wilt not let them go ? 

18 Behold, tomorrow about this time, I will caufe 
it to rain a very grievous hail, fuch as hath not been in 
Egypt lince the foundation thereof even until now. 

19 Send therefore now, and gather thy cattle, and 
all that thou _ haft in the field : for upon every man 
and beaft which fhall be found in the field, and fhall 
not be brought home, the hail fhall come down upon 
them, and they fhall die. 

20 He that feared the word, of the Lord among the 
fervants of Pharaoh, made his fervants and his cattle 
flee into the houfes : 

21 And he that t regarded not the word of the 
Lord left his fervants and his cattle in the field. 

22 If And the Lord faid unto Mofes, Stretch forth 
thine hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all 
the land of Egypt, upon man, and upon beaft, and upon 
every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt. 

23 And Mofes ftretched forth his rod toward hea- 
ven, and the Lord fent thunder and hail, and the 
lire ran along upon the ground ; and the Lord rained 
hail upon the land of Egypt. 

24 So there was hail, and fire mingled with the 
hail, very grievous, fuch as there was none like it in 
all the land of Egypt fince it became a nation. 

25 And the hail fmote throughout all the land of 
Egypt, all that was in the field, both man and beaft ; 
and the hail fmote every herb of the field, and brake 
every tree of the field. 

26 Only in the land of Gofhen, where the children 
of Ifrael were, was there no hail. 

27 H And Pharaoh fent and called for Mofes and

the barley was in the ear and the flax was boiled.

they were t not grown up. 

33 And Mofes went out of the city from Pharaoh, 
and fpread abroad Ms hands unto the Lord : and the 
thunders and hail ceafed, and the rain was not 
poured upon the earth. 

34 And when Pharaoh faw that the rain, and the 
hail, and the thunders, were ceafed, he finned yet

the land all that day, and all that night ; and when 
it was morning, the eaft wind brought the locufts. 

14 And the locufts went up over all the land of 
Egypt, and refted in all the coafts of Egypt : very 
grievous were they ; before them there were no fuch 
locufts as they, neither after them (hall be fuch. 

15 For they covered the face of the whole earth, 
fo that the land was darkened ; and they did eat every 
herb of the land, and all the fruit of the trees which 
the hail had left, and there remained not any green 
thing in the trees, or in the herbs of the field, through 
all the land of Egypt. 

16 If Then Pharaoh t called for Mofes and Aaron 
in hafte ; and he faid, I have finned againft the Lord 
your God, and againii you. 

17 Now, therefore, forgive, I pray thee, my fin 
only this once, and entreat the Lord your God, that 
he may take away from me this death only. 

18 And he went out from Pharaoh, and entreated 
the Lord. 

19 And the Lord turned a mighty ftrong weft 
'■ wind, which took away the locufts, and f call them 

into the Red fea ; there remained not one locuft in all 
the coafts of Egypt. 

20 But the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, fo 
that he would not let the children of Ifrael go. 

21 tT And the Lord faid unto Mofes, Stretchout 
thine hand toward heaven, that there may be dark- 
nefs over the land of Egypt, t even darknefs which 

ESS.** may be felt. 

22 And Mofes ftretched forth his hand toward 
heaven ; and there was a thick darknefs in all the 
land of Egypt three days. 

23 Thej r faw not one another, neither rofe any 
c wisd.isi, from his place, for three days : t c but all the children 

of Ifrael had light in their dwellings. 

24 tT And Pharaoh called unto Mofes, and faid, Go 
ye, ferve the Lord; only let your flocks and your herds 
be flayed : let your little ones alfo go with you. 

25 And Mofes faid, Thou mult give t us alfo fac- 
rifices and burnt offerings, that we may facrifice unto 
the Lord our God. 

26 Our cattle alfo lhall go with us : there fhall not 
an hoof be left behind ; for thereof muft we take to 
ferve the Lord our God: and we know not with 
what we muft ferve the Lord until we come thither. 

27 HBut the Lord hardened Pharaoh's heart, and 
he would not let them go. 

28 And Pharaoh faid unto him, Get thee from me, 
take heed to thyfelf, fee my face no more : for in that 
day thou feeft my face thou fhalt die. 

29 And Mofes faid, Thou haft fpoken well ; I will 
fee thy face again no more.

was very great in the land of Egypt,, in the fight of 4S '"

4 ^ And Mofes laid, Thus faith the Lord, c About ccimp.ia 
midnight will I go out into the midft of Egypt : 

5 And all the firftborn in the land of Egypt fhall die, ' 
from the firftborn of Pharaoh that fitteth upon his 
throne, even unto the firftborn of the maid fervant that 
is behind the mill ; and all the firftborn of beafts. 

6 And there fhall be a great cry throughout all the 
land of Egypt, fuch as there \\-c\s none like it, nor fhall- 
be like it any more. 

7 But againft any of the children of Ifrael fhall not 
a dog move his tongue, againft man or beaft ; that ye 
may know how that the Lord doth put a difference 
between the Egyptians and Ifrael. 

8 And all thefe thy fervants lhall come down< unto

thee out, and all the people that t follow thee ; and t^tthyf&t. 
after that I will go out. And he went out from Pha-

not hearken unto you, that my wonders may be mul- 
tiplied in the land of Egypt. 

10 And Mofes and Aaron did all thefe wonders 
before Pharaoh : and the Lord hardened Pharaoh's 
heart, fo that he would not let the children of* Ifrael

20 Ye fhall eat nothing leavened : in all your hab-

33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the peo- 
ple, that they might fend them out of the land in

34 And the people took their dough before it was 
leavened, their || kneading troughs being bound up 11 or.

39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough

for God faid, Left peradventure, the people repent

18 But God led the people about, through the way

AND the Lord fpake unto Mofes, faying,

turn and encamp before a Pi-hahiroth, between Mig- a Numb. 
dol and the fea, over againft Baal-zephon : before it 33 7- 
fliall ye encamp by the fea. 

3 For Pharaoh will fay of the children of Ifraei, 
They are entangled in the land, the wildernefs hath 
(hut them in. 

4 And I will harden Pharaoh's heart, that he fliall 
follow after them ; and I will be honoured upon Pha- 
raoh, and upon all his hoft ; that the Egyptians may 
know that I am the Lord. And they did fo. 

5 If And it was told the king of Egypt that the 
people fled : and the heart of Pharaoh and of his fer- 
vants was turned againft the people, and they faid, 
Why have we done this, that we have let Ifraei go 
from ferving us ? 

6 And he made ready his chariot, and took his 
people with him. 

7 And he took fix hundred chofen chariots, and all the 
chariots of Egypt, and captains over every one of them. 

8 And the Lord hardened the heart of Pharaoh king 
of Egypt, and he purfued after the children of Ifraei : 
and the children of Ifraei went Out with an high hand. 

9 But the b Egyptians purfued after them, (all the b josh. 24

the children of Ifrael cried out unto the Lord. 

11 And they faid unto Mofes, Becaufe there were 
no graves in Egypt, haft thou taken us away to diein 
the wjldernefs ? wherefore haft thou dealt thus with 
us, to cany us forth out of Egypt ? 

12 c Is not this the word that we did tell thee in 
Egypt, faying, Let us alone, that we may ferve the 
Egyptians ? for it had been better for us to ferve die 
Egyptians than that we fhould die in the wiklernefs.

will fhew to you today : || for the Egyptians whom

that they go forward : 

16 But lift thou up thy rod , and ftretch out thine hand 
over the fea, and divide it ; and the children of Ifrael 
fhall go on dry ground through the midft of the fea. 

17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the 
Egyptians, and they fliall follow them : and I will get 
me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his hoft, up- 
on his chariots, and upon his horfemen. 

18 And the Egyptians fliall know that I am the 
Lord, when I have gotten me honour upon Pharaoh, 
upon his chariots, and upon his horfemen. 

19 II And the angel of God, which went before the 
camp of Ifrael, removed, and went behind them; 
and the pillar of the cloud went from before their 
face, and flood behind them : 

20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians 
and the camp of Ifrael ; and it was a cloud and dark- 
nefs to them, but it gave light by night to these : fo that 
the one came not near the other all the night. 

21 If And Mofes ftretched out his hand over the 
fea ; and the Lord caufed the fea to go back by a 
ftrong eaft wind all that night, and made the fea dry 
land, and the waters were d divided. 

22 And e the children of Ifrael went into the midft 
of the fea upon the dry ground ; and the waters were 
a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their left. 

23 If And the Egyptians purfued, and went in after 
them to the midft of the fea, even all Pharaoh's horfes, 
his chariots and his horfemen. 

24 And it came to pafs, that in the morning watch 
the Lord looked unto the hoft of the Egyptians 
through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and trou-

thine hand over the fea, that the waters may come 
again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and 
upon their horfemen. 

27 And Mofes ftretched forth

and the Lord t overthrew the Egyptians in the midft

after their departing out of the land of Egypt. 

2 And the whole congregation of the children of Ifrael 
murmured againft Mofes and Aaron in the wildernefs.

to God we had died by the hand of the Lord in the 
land of Egypt, when we fat by the flefh pots, and 
when Ave did eat bread to the full : for ye have brought 
us forth into this wildernefs, to kill tins whole affem-

8 And Mofes faid, This shall be, when the Lord 
fhall give you in the evening flefh to eat, and in the 
morning bread to^ the full : for that the Lord hear- 
eth your murmurings which ye murmur againft him : 
and what are we ? your murmurings are not againft

9 And Mofes fpake Unto Aaron, Say unto all the

fore the Lord : for he hath heard your murmurings. 

10 And it came to pafs, as Aaron fpake unto, the 
whole congregation of the children of Ifrael, that they 
looked toward the wildernefs ; and, behold, the glory 
of the Lord a appeared in the cloud. 

11 IF And die Lord fpake unto Mofes, faying, 

12 I have heard the murmurings of the children of 
Ifrael ; fpeak unto them, faying, At even ye fhall eat 
flefh, and in the morning ye fhall be filled with bread : 
and ye fhall know that I am the Lord your God.

the dew lay round about the hoft. 

14 And Avhen c the dew that lay Avas gone up, be- 
hold, upon the face of the wildernefs there lay a fmall 
round thing, as fmall as the hoar froft, on the ground. 

15 And when the children of Ifrael faAA- it, they faid 
one to another, || It is manna : for they Avift not what 
it was. And Moles faid unto them, d This is the bread 
Avhich the Lord hath given you to eat. 

16 IF This is the thing Avhich die Lord hath com- 
manded, Gather of it every man according to his eat- 
ing, an omer f for every man : according to the number 
of your tperfons, take ye every man for them Avliich 
are in histents. 

17 And the children of Ifrael did fo, and gathered 
fome more, fome lefs. 

18 And Avhen they did mete it Avidi an omer, e he 
that gathered much had nothing oA'er, and he that 
gathered little had no lack : they gathered every man 
according to his eating. 

19 And Mofes faid, Let no man leave of it till the 
morning. 

20 Notwithftanding they hearkend not unto Mo- 
fes ; but fome of them left of it until the morning, 
and it bred Avorms, and ftank ; and Mofes Avas Avroth 
with them. ' 

21 And they gathered it every morning ; every man 
according to his eating : and Avhen the fun waxed hot, 
it melted. 

22 IF And it came to pafs , that on the fixth day they 
gathered twice as much bread, tAvo omers for one 
man : and all the rulers of the congregation came and 
told Mofes. 

23 And he faid unto them, This is that Avhich the

31 And the houfe of Ifrael called the name there-

the tafte of it was like wafers made with honey.

you forth from the land of Egypt.

put an omer full of manna therein, and lay it up be-

34 As the Lord commanded Mofes, fo Aaron laid 
it up before the Teftimony, to be kept.

ened bread that is before the Lord. 

24 And thou fhalt put all in the hands of Aaron, 
and in the hands of his fons, and fhalt f wave them 
for a wave offering before the Lord. 

25 And thou fhalt receive them of their hands, and 
burn them upon the altar for a burnt offering, for a 
fweet favour before the Lord ; it is an offering made 
by fire unto the Lord. 

26 And thou fhalt take the breaft. of the ram of 
Aaron's confecration, and wave it for a wave offering 
before the Lord : and it fhall be thy part. 

27 And thou fhalt fanclify the breaft of the wave 
offering, and the fhoulder of the heave offering which 
is waved, and which is heaved up, -of the ram of the 
confecration, even of that which is for Aaron, and of 
that which is for his fons : 

28 And it fliall be Aaron's and his fons' by a ftatute 
for ever from the children of Ifrael ; for it is an heave 
offering : and it fhall be an heave offering from the 
children of Ifrael of the facrifice of their peace offer- 
ings, even their heave offering unto the Lord. 

29 And the holy garments of Aaron fliall be his 
fons' after him, to be anointed therein, and to be con- 
fecrated in them. 

30 And t that fon that is prieft in his ftead fliall put 
them on feven days, when he cometh into the taber- 
nacle of the congregation, to minifier in the holy place. 

31 And thou fhalt take the ram of die confecration, 
and f feethe his flefh in the holy place. 

32 And iVaronandhis fons fhall eat the flefh of the 
ram, and the bread that is in the bafket, by the door 
of the tabernacle of the congregation. 

33 And they fhall eat thofe things wherewith the 
atonement was made, to confecrate and to fanftify 
them : but a ftranger fhall not eat thereof becaufe 
they arc holy. 

34 And if aught of the flefh of the confecrations, or 
of the bread remain unto the morning, then thou 
fhalt burn the remainder with fire : it fhall not be 
eaten, becaufe it is holy. 

35 And thus fhalt thou do unto Aaron, and to his 
fons, according to all things which I have commanded 
thee : feven days fhalt thou confecrate them. 

36 And thou fhalt offer every day a bullock for a 
fin offering for atonement : and thou fhalt cleanfe 
the altar, when thou haft made an atonement for it, 
and thou fhalt anoint it to fanclify it. 

37 Seven days thou fhalt make an atonement for 
the altar, and fanclify it 5 and it fliall be an altar mofl 
holy : whatibever toucheth the altar fliall be holy. 

38 II Now this is that which thou fhalt offer upon 
the altar : e two lambs of the firft year, day by day 
continually. 

39 The one lamb thou fhalt offer in the morning ; 
and the other lamb thou fhalt ofter at even : 

40 And with die one lamb a tenth deal of flour min- 
gled with the fourh part of an hin of beaten oil ; and 
the fourth part of an hin of wine/era drink offering. 

41 And the other lamb thou fhalt offer at even, 
and fhalt do thereto according to the meat offering 
of the morning, and according to the drink offering 
thereof, for a fweet favour, an offering made by fire 
unto die Lord.

1 Bezaleel and Aholiab are called and qualified for the

the two tables. 

AND the Lord fpake unto Mofes, faying, 
2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the a fon 
cf Uri, the fon of Hur, of the tribe of Judah ; 

3 And I have filled him with the fpirit of God, in 
wifdom, and in underftanding, and in knowledge, and 
in all manner of w orkmanfhip,

in filver, and in brafs, 

5 And in cutting of ftones, to fet them, and in carv- 
ing of timber, to work in all manner of workmanfhip. 

6 And%, behold, I have given with him Aholiab 
the fori of Ahifamach, of the tribe of Dan ; and in the 
hearts of all that are wife hearted I have put wifdom, 
that they may make all that I have commanded thee ; 

7 The tabernacle of the congregation, and the ark 
of the teftimony, and the mercy feat that is thereupon, 

t Heb, niseis, and all the t furniture of the tabernacle ; 

8 And the table and his furniture, and the pure can- 
dleftick with all his furniture, and the altar of incenfe^ ;

ments for Aaron the prieft, and the garments of his 
fons, to minifter in the prieft's office ; 

11 And the anointing oil, and fweet incenfe for the 
holy place ; according to all that I have commanded 
thee, fhall they do. 

12 H And the Lord fpake unto Mofes, faying, 

13 Speak thou alfo unte the children of Ifrael, fay- 
ing, Verily my fabbaths ye fhall keep : for it is a fign 
between me and you throughout your generations ; 

* that ye may know that I am the Lord that doth fanc- 
tify you. 
bchap. so 8. 14 b Ye fhall keep the fabbath therefore ; for it is 
holy unto you. Every one that defileth it fhall furely 
be put to death : for whofoever doeth any work there- 
in, that foul fhall be cut off from among his people. 

15 Six days may work be done ; but in the feventh 
tHeb. is the fabbath of reft, t holy to the Lord ; whofoever 
h ° l,ne "' doeth any work in the fabbath day, he fhall furely be 

put to death. 

16 Wherefore the children of Ifrael fhall keep the 
fabbath, to obferve the fabbath throughout their gen- 
erations, for a perpetual covenant. 

17 It is a fign between me and the children of Ifrael 
r,Gen. 1 31, for ever : for c in fix days the Lord made heaven and 

earth, and on the feventh day he refted, and was re- 
frefhed. 

18 TI And he gave unto Mofes, when he had made 
an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai,

1 The people, in the absence of Moses, cause Aaron to 
make a golden calf. 7 God's displeasure thereat. 
11 At the entreaty of Moses he is appeased. 15 
Moses cometh down with the tables : 19 he breaketh 
them beneath the mount : 20 he destroy eth the calf.

ple. 32 God's answer. 

AND when the people faw that Mofes delayed to 
come down out of the mount, the people gather- 
ed themfelves together unto Aaron, and faid unto him, 
a Up, make us gods which fhall go before us ; for as aAas 7 4 ®* 
for this Mofes, the man that brought us up out of the 
land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 

2 And Aaron faid unto them, Break off the golden 
earrings which are in the ears of your wives, of your 
fons, and of your daughters, and bring them unto me. 

3 And all the people brake off the golden earrings 
which were in their ears, and brought themunto Aaron. 

4 b And he received them at their hand ;• and fafhion- ^ |^, ra 
ed it with a graving tool, after he had made it a mol- ioi> 19- m 
ten calf; and they faid, Thefe be thy gods ,. O Ifrael, 
which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 

5 And when Aaron faw it, he built an altar before 
it; and Aaron made proclamation, and faid, Tomor- 
row is a feaft to the Lord. 

6 And they rofe up early "on the morrow, and offer- 
ed burnt offerings, and brought peace offerings ; and 

the c people fat down to eat and to drink, and rofe up c » cor. 107, 
to play. 

7 TT And the Lord faid unto Mofes, d Go, get thee dDeut.912. 
down; for thy people, which thou broughteft out of 

the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves : 

8 e They have turned afide quickly out of the way eDeut.416. 
which I commanded them : they have made them a 
molten calf, and have worfhipped it, and have facri- 

ficed thereunto,. and faid, Thefe be thy gods, O Ifrael, 
which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 

9 And the Lord faid unto Mcfes, f I have feen this f chap. 33 ?• 
people, and, behold, it is a ftiffnecked people : Deut ' 9 * 3 " 

10 Now, therefore, let me alone, that my wrath 
may wax hot againft them, and that I may confume 
them : and I will make of thee a great nation. 

11 H e And. Mofes befought the t Lord his God, and? bpssmos^. 
faid, Lord r why doth thy wrath wax hot againft thy / a «tf/;f/ 
people, which thou haft brought forth out of the land L0RD ' 
of Egypt with great poAver, and with a mighty hand ? 

12 h Wherefore mould the Egyptians fpeak, and hNmnb.14 
fay, For mifchief did he bring them out to flay them ' 3 " • 

in the mountains, and to confume them from the face 
of the earth ? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent 
of this evil againft thy people. 

13 Remember Abraham, Ifaac, and Ifrael, thy fer- 
vants, to whom thou fwareft by thine own felf, and 
faidft unto them, i I will multiply your feed as the ftars 
of heaven, and all this land that I have fpoken of will I 
give unto your feed, and they fhall inherit it for ever. 

14 And the Lord repented of the evil which he 
thought to do unto his people. 

15 H And Mofes turned, and went down from the 
mount, and the two tables of the teftimony were in his 
hand : the tables TOm? written on both their fides ; on 
the one fide and on the other were they written. 

16 And the k tables were the work of God, and the tcaa. 31 18. 
writing was the writing ofGod, graven upon the tables. 

17 And when Jofhua heard the noife of the people, 
as they fhouted, he faid unto Mofes, There is a noife 
of war in the camp. 

18 And he faid, It is not the voice of them that

and burnt it in the fire, and ground it to powder, and

22 And Aaron faid, Let not the anger of my lord 
wax hot : thou knoweft die people, that they are set

23 For they faid unto me, Make us gods which 
fhall go before us : for as for this Mofes, the man

24 And I faid unto them, Whofoever hath any gold, 
let them break it off : So they gave it me : then I caft

and go in and out from gate to gate throughout the

his companion, and every man his neighbour.

made them gods of gold ! 

32 Yet now, if thou wilt, forgive their fin ; and if 
not, blot me, I pray thee, out of thy book which

34 Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place

Moses entreateth to see God's glory. 

which I fware unto Abraham, to Ifaac, and to Jacob,

2 And I will fend an Angel before thee ; h and I will 
drive out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the Hittite, 
and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebufite ; 

3 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey: fori 
will not go vu>in the midft of thee ; for thou art a c ftiff-

4 H And when the people heard thefeevil tidings, they 
mourned ; and no man did put on him his ornaments. 

5 For the Lord had faid unto Mofes, Say unto the 
children of Ifrael, Ye are a ftiffnecked people ; I will 
come up into the midft of thee in a moment, and con- 
fume thee : therefore now put off thy ornaments from 
thee, that I may know what to do unto thee. 

6 And the children of Ifrael ftripped themfelves of 
their ornaments by the mount Horeb. 

.7 H And Mofes took the tabernacle, an^ pitched it 
without the camp, afar off from the camp, and called 
it the Tabernacle of the Congregation. And it came 
to pafs, that every one which fought the Lord, went 
out unto the tabernacle of the congregation, which was 
without the camp. 

8 And it came to pafs, when Mofes went out unto 
the tabernacle, _ that all the people rofe up, and ftood 
every man at his tent door, and looked after Mofes, 
until he was gone into the tabernacle. 

9 tT And it came to pafs, as Mofes entered into the 
tabernacle, the cloudy pillar defcended, and ftood at 
the door of the tabernacle, and the LORD talked 
with Mofes. 

10 And all the people faw the cloudy pillar ftand at 
the tabernacle door ; and all the people rofe up and

11 And the Lord (pake unto Mofes face to face, as 
a man fpeaketh unto his fiyend. And he turned again 
into the camp ; but his fervant Jofhua the fon of Nun, 
a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle. 

12 H And Mofes faid unto the Lord, See, thou fay- 
eft unto me, Bring up this people ; and thou haft not 
let me know whom thou wilt fend with me:; yet thou 
haft faid, I know thee by name, and thou haft alio 
found grace in my fight. 

13 Now, therefore, I pray thee, if I have found 
grace in thy fight, fhew me now thy way, that I may 
know thee, that I may find grace in thy fight ; and 
confider that this nation is thy people. 

14 And he faid, My prefence fhall go with thee, and 
I will give thee reft. 

15 And he faid unto him, If thy prefence go not

16 For wherein fhall it be known here, that I and 
thy people have found grace in thy fight ? is it not in 
that thou goeft with us ? fo fhall we be feparated, I 
and thy people, from all the people that are upon the

15 And he flew it ; and Mofes took the blood, and 
put it upon the horns of the altar round about with his 
finger, and purified the altar, and poured the blood at 
the bottom of the altar, and fanclified it, to make 
reconciliation upon it. 

16 And he took all the fat that was upon the in- 
wards, and the caul above the liver, and the two kid- 
neys, and their fat, and Mofes burned it upon the 
altar. 

17 But the bullock, and his hide, his flefh, and his 
dung, he burnt .with fire without the camp ; as the 
Lord h commanded Mofes. 

18 IF And he brought the ram for the burnt offer- 
ing : and Aaron and his fons laid their hands upon 
the head of the ram. 

19 And he killed it; and Mofes fprinkled the 
blood upon the altar round about. 

20 And he cut the ram into pieces, and Mofes 
burnt the head, and the pieces, and the fat. 

21 And he warned the inwards and the legs in 
water ; and Mofes burnt the whole ram upon the 
altar : it was a burnt facriiice for a fweet favour, and 
an offering made by fire unto the Lord : as the Lord 
commanded Mofes. 

22 IF And ! he brought the other ram, the ram of 
confecration : and Aaron and his fons laid their hands 
upon the head of the ram. 

23 And he flew it ; and Mofes took of the blood 
of it, and put it uponthe tip of Aaron's right ear, and 
upon the thumb of his right hand, and upon the great 
toe of his right foot. 

24 And he brought Aaron's fons, and Mofes put of 
the blood upon the tip of their right ears, and upon the 
thumbs of their right hands, and upon the great toes 
of their right feet : and Mofes fprinkled the blood 
upon the altar round about. 

25 And he took the fat, and the rump, and all the 
fat that was upon the inwards, and the caul above the 
liver, and the two kidneys, and their fat, and the 
right moulder. 

26 And out of the bafket of unleavened bread, that 
ivas before the Lord, he took one unleavened cake, 
and a cake of oiled bread, and one wafer, and put 
them on the fat, and upon the right fhoulder : 

21 And he put all k upon Aaron's hands, and upon 
his fons' hands, and waved them for a wave offering 
before the Lord. 

23 And Mofes took them from off their hands, 
,- l them on the altar upon the burnt offering : 
they were confecrations for a fweet favour ; it is an 
offering made by fire unto the Lord.

confecration it was Mofes' J part ; as the Lord com- 
manded Mofes. 

30 And Mofes took of the anointing oil, and of 
the blood which was upon the altar, and fprinkled 
it upon Aaron, and upon his garments, and upon his 
fons, and upon his fons' garments with him ; and 
fanciified Aaron, and his garments, and his fons, and 
his fons' garments with him. 

31 IF And Mofes faid unto Aaron, and to his fons, 
Boil the fiefh at the door of the tabernacle of the con- 
gregation, and there m eat it with the bread that is in 
the bafket of confecrations, as I commanded, faying, 
Aaron and his fons fhall eat it. 

32 And that which remaineth of the nefh, and of 
the bread, fhall ye burn with fire. 

33 And ye fhall not go out of the door of the taber- 
nacle of the congregation in feven days, until the 
days of your confecration be at an end : for n feven 
days fhall he confecrate you. 

34 As he hath done this day, so the Lord hath 
commanded to do, to make an atonement for you. 

35 Therefore mall ye abide at the door of the 
tabernacle of the congregation day and night, feven 
days, and keep the charge of the Lord, that ye die 
not : for fo I am commanded. 

36 So Aaron and his fons did all things which the 
Lord commanded by the hand of Mofes. 

CHAP. IX. 

1 The first offerings of Aaron for himself and for the 
people. 8 Aaron offer eth them, first for himself, 15 
and afterward for the people. 23 Moses and Aaron 
bless the people, and fire cometb from the Lord upon 
the altar. 

AN D it came to pafs, on the eighth day, that Mofes 
called Aaron and his fons, and the elders of Ifrael ; 

2 And he faid unto Aaron, a take thee a young a ex j. 
calf for a iin offering, and a ram for a burnt offering, 29 '■ 
without blemifh, and offer them before the Lord. 

3 And unto the children of Ifrael thou fhalt fpeak, 
faying, Take ye a kid of the goats for a fin offering : 
and a calf, and a lamb, both of the firft year, without 
blemifh , for a burnt offering ; 

4 Alfo a bullock and a ram for peace offerings, to 
f acrifice before the Lord: and a meat offering mingled 
with oil ; for today the Lord will appear unto you. 

5 And they brought that which Mofes commanded 
before the tabernacle of the congregation ; and all the 
congregation drew near, and flood before the Lord. 

6 And Mofes faid, This is the thing which the 
Lord commanded that ye mould do ; and the glory 
of the Lord fhall appear unto you. 

7 And Mofes faid unto Aaron, Go unto the altar, 
and offer thy fin offering, and thy burnt offering, and 
make an atonement for thyfelf, and for the people : 
and offer the offering of the people, and make an 
atonement for them ; as the Lord commanded. 

8 IF Aaron, therefore, went unto the altar, and flew 
the calf of the fin offering which was for himfelf. 

p 9 And the fons of Aaron brought the blood unto 
him : and he dipped his finger in the blood, and put it 
upon the horns of the altar, and poured out the blood 
at the bottom of the altar. 

10 But the fat, and the kidneys, and the caul above 
the liver, of the fin offering, he burnt upon the altar, 
as the Lord commanded Mofes.

11 And the flefh and the hide he burnt with fire 
without the camp. 

12 And he flew the burnt offering : and Aaron's 
fons prefented unto him the blood, which he fprinkled 
round about upon the altar. 

13 And they prefented the burnt offering unto him, 
with the pieces thereof, and the head ; and he burnt 
them upon the altar. m 

14 And he did wafh the inwards and the legs, and 
burnt them upon the burnt offering on the altar. 

15 IT And he brought the people's offering, and took 
the goat, which was the I'm offering for the people, and 
flew it, and offered it for fin, as the firft. 

16 And he brought the burnt offering, and ottered 
it according to the || manner. 

17 And he brought the meat offering, and t took 
an handful thereof, and burnt it upon the altar, b be- 
fide the burnt facrifice of the morning. . 

18 He flew alfo the bullock and the mm for a lacri- 
fice of peace offerings' which was for the people : and 
Aaron's fons prefented unto him the blood, (which he 
fprinkled upon the altar round about,) 

19 And the fat of the bullock and of the ram, the 
rump, and that which covereth the inwards, and the 
kidneys, and the caul above the liver : 

20 And they put the fat upon the breads, and he 
burnt the fat upon the altar. 

21 And the breafts and the right fhoulder Aaron 
waved/or a wave offering before the Lord ; as Mofes 
commanded. 

22 And Aaron lifted up his hand toward the people, 
and bleffed them ; and came down from offering of" the 
fin offering, and the burnt offering, and peace offerings. 

23 IF And Mofes and Aaron went into the taberna- 
cle of the congregation, and came out, and bleffed the 
people : and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all 
the people. 

24 And c there came a fire out from before the 
Lord, and confumed upon die altar the burnt offering 
and the fat : which when all the people faw, they (hom- 
ed, and fell on their faces. 

CHAP. X. 
1 Nadab and Abihu, for offering strange fire, are burnt 
by fire from the Lord: 6 Aaron and his sons forbid- 
den to mourn for them. 8 The priests are forbidden

of eating the holy things. 16 Aaron's excuse for 
transgressing thereof. 

AND a Nadab and Abihu, the fons of Aaron, took 
either of them his cenfer, and put fire therein, 
and put incenfe thereon, and offered ftrange fire before 
the Lord, which he commanded them not. 

2 And there went out fire from the Lord, and de- 
voured them ; and they died before the Lord. 

3 Then Mofes faid unto Aaron, This is it that the 
Lord fpake, faying, I will be fan<Stified in them that 
come nigh me, and before all the people I will be glo- 
rified. And Aaron held his peace. 

4 And Mofes called Mifhael and Elzaphan, the fons 
of Uzziel, the uncle of Aaron, and laid unto them, 
Come near, cany your brethren from before the fanc- 
tuary out of the camp. 

5 So they went near, and carried them in their coats 
out of the camp ; as Mofes had faid.

wrath come upon all the people : but let your breth- ^J^^

which the Lord hath kindled. 

7 And ye fhall not go out from the door of the 
tabernacle of the congregation, left ye die ; for the 
anointing oil of the Lord is upon you. And they 
did according to the word of Mofes. 

8 If And the Lord fpake unto Aaron, faying, 

9 Do not drink wine nor flrong drink, thou, nor 
thy fons with thee, when ye go into the tabernacle of 
the congregation, left ye die : it shall be a flatute for 
ever throughout your generations ; 

10 And that ye may put difference between holy 
and unholy, and between unclean and clean : 

1 1 And that ye may teach the children of Ifrael all 
the ftatutes which the Lord hath fpoken unto them 
by the hand of Mofes. 

12 IF And Mofes fpake unto Aaron, and unto Elea- 
zar and unto Ithamar, his fons that were left, Take 
the meat offering that remaineth of the offerings of 
the Lord made by fire, and eat it without leaven be- 
fide the altar : for it is raoft holy. 

13 And ye fhall eat it in the holy place, becaufe it 
is thy due, and thy fons' due, of the facrifices of the 
Lord made by fire : for fo I am commanded. 

14 And b the wave breaft, and heave fhoulder fhall 5jExod.a# 
ye eat in a clean place ; thou, and thy fons, and thy 
daughters with thee : for they be thy due, and thy fons ' 

due, which are given out of the facrifices of peace of- 
ferings of the children of Ifrael. 

15 The heave fhoulder and the wave breaft fhall 
they bring, with the offerings made by fire of the fat, 
to wave it for a wave offering before the Lord : and 
it fhall be thine, and thy fons' with thee, by a ftatute 
for ever ; as the Lord hath commanded. 

16 IF And Mofes diligently fought the goat of the 
fin offering, and, behold, it was burnt : and he was 
angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the fons of Aaron, 
which were left alive, faying, 

17 Wherefore have ye not eaten the fin offering in 
the holy place, feeing it is molt holy, and God hath 
given it you to bear the iniquity of the congregation, 
to make atonement for them before the Lord ? 

18 Behold, the blood of it was not brought in 
within the holy place ; ye fhould indeed have eaten it 
in the holy place, c as I commanded. 

19 And Aaron faid unto Mofes, Behold, this day 
have they offered their fin offering and their burnt 
offering before the Lord ; and fuch things have be- 
fallen me : and if I had eaten the fin offering to- 
day, fhould it have been accepted in the fight of the 
Lord ? 

20 And when Mofes heard that, he was content.

31 And if the prieft look on the plague of the fcall, 
and, behold, it be not in fight deeper than the fkin, and 
that there is no black hair in it ; then the prieft fhall ihut 
up him that hath the plague of the fcall feven days. 

' 32 And in the feventh day the prieft fhall look on 
the plague : and, behold, if the feall fpread not, and 
there be in it no yellow hair, and the fcall be not in 
fight deeper than the fkin, 

33 He fhall be fhaven, but the fcall fhall he not 
fhave : and the prieft fhall fhut up him that hath the 
fcall feven days more. 

34 And in the feventh day the prieft fhall look on 
the fcall : and, behold, if the fcall be not fpread in the 
fkin, nor be in light deeper than the fkin ; then the 
prieft fhall pronounce him clean ; and he fhall wafh 
his clothes, and be clean. 

35 But if the fcall fpread much in the fkin after his 
cleanfmg ; 

36 Then the prieft fhall look on him : and, behold, 
if the fcall be fpread in the fkin, the prieft fhall not feek 
for yellow hair : he is unclean. 

3*7 But if the fcall be in his fight at a ftay,and that 
there is black hair grown up therein ; the fcall is healed, 
he is clean ; and the prieft fhall pronounce him clean. 

38 If If a man alfo or a woman have in the fkin of 
their fleih bright fpots, even white bright fpots ; 

39 Then the prieft fhall look : and, behold, z/ the 
bright fpots in the fkin of their fief h be darkifh white ; 
it is a freckled fpot that groweth in the fkin : he is clean. 

40 And the man whole t hair is fallen oft" his head, 
he is bald ; yet is he cleam 

41 And he that hath his hair fallen off from the 
part of his head toward his face, he is forehead bald ; 
yet is he clean, 

42 And if there be in the bald head, or bald fore- 
head, a white reddifh fore, it is a leprofy fprung up in 
his bald head, or his bald forehead ; 

43 Then the prieft fhall look upon it : and, behold, 
if the riling of the fore be white reddifh in his bald 
head, or in his bald forehead, as the leprofy appeareth 
in the fkin of the flefh, 

44 He is a leprous man, he is unclean t the prieft 
fhall pronounce him utterly unclean ; his plague is in 
his head. 

45 And the leper, in whom the plague is, his clothes 
fhall be rent, and his head bare, and he fhall put a 
covering upon his upper lip,- and mall cry, Unclean, 
unclean. 

46 All the days wherein the plague shall be in him, 
he fhall be defiled ; he is unclean, he fhall dwell alone ; 
a without the camp shall his habitation be. 

47 IF The garment alfo that the plague of leprofy is 
in, whether it be a woollen garment or a linen garment ; 

48 Whether it be in the warp or woof, of linen or 
of woollen ; whether in a fkin, or in any f thing made 
of fkin ; 

49 And if the plague be greenifh or reddifh in the 
garment, or in the fkin, either in the warp, or in the 
woof, or in any f thing of fkin ; it is a plague of lep- 
rofy, and lliall be fhewed unto the prieft. 

50 And the prieft mail look upon the plague, and 
fhut up it that hath the plague feven days. 

51 And he fhall look on the plague on the feventh 
day : if the plague be fpread in the garment, either in 
the warp, or in the woof, or in a fkin, or in any work 
that is made of fkin, the plague is a fretting leprcfy ; 
5.t is unclean. 



52 He fhall therefore burn that garment, whether <$gg r 
warp or woof, in woollen or in linen, or any thing of v-- ^i w , 
fkin, wherein the plague is : for it is a fretting leprofy ; 

it fhall be burnt in the fire. 

53 And if the prieft fhall look, and, behold, the 
plague be not fpread in the garment, either in the 
warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of fkin ; 

54 Then the prieft fhall command that they wafli 
the thing wherein the plague is, and he fhall fhut it up 
feven days more. _ 

55 And the prieft fhall look on the plague after that 
it is wafhed : and, behold, if the plague have not 
changed his colour, and the plague be not fpread, it is 
unclean ; thou fhalt bum it in the fire : it is fret in- 
ward, t whether it be bare within or without. thSha-a 

56 And if the prieft look, and, behold, the plague be MaWntht 
fomewhat dark after the waffling of it ; then he fhall If, J in vie 
rend it out of the garment, or out of the fkin, or out fi'/! 1 
of the warp, or out of the woof. 

57 And if it appear ftill in the garment, either in the 
warp, or in the woof, or in any thing of fkin, it is a 
threading plague ; thGU fhalt burn that wherein the 
plague is with fire. 

58 And the garment, either warp, or woof, or what- 
foever tiling of fkin it be, which thou fhalt warn , if the 
plague be departed from them, then it fhall be wallied 
the fecond time, and fhall be clean. 

59 This is the law of the plague of leprofy in a gar- 
ment of woollen or linen, either in the warp, or woof, 
or any thing of fkins, to pronounce it clean, or to pro- 
nounce it unclean.

2 And the Lord laid unto Mofes, Speak unto 
t. E H^ 3 9 7 . Aaron thy brother, that he b come not at all times in- 
to the holy place, within the veil before the mercy 
feat, which is upon the ark, that he die not : for I will 
appear in the cloud upon the mercy feat, 

3 Thus (hall Aaron come into the holyplace ; with 
a young bullock for a fin offering, and a ram for a 
burnt offering. 

4 He fhall put on the holy linen coat, and he mail 
have the linen breeches upon his flefh, and lhall be 
girded with the linen girdle, and with the linen mitre 
ihall he be attired : thefe are holy garments ; there- 
fore fhall he wafh hisfleih in water, and so put them on. 

5 And he fhall take of the congregation of the 
children of Ifrael two kids of the goats for a fin offer- 
ing, and one ram for a burnt offering. 

6 And Aaron fhall offer his bullock of the fin offer- 
ing which is for himfelf, and c make an atonement for 
himfelf, and for his houfe. 

7 And he fhall take the two goats, and prefent 
them before the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle 
of the congregation. 

8 And Aaron fhall call lots upon the two goats; one 
lot for the Lord, and the other lot for the f fcape goat. 

9 And Aaron fhall bring the goat upon which the 
Lord's lot t fell, and offer him for a fin offering. 

10 But the goat on which the lot fell to be the fcape 
goat, fhall be prefented alive before the Lord, to 
make an atonement with him, and to let him go for a 
fcape goat into the wildernefs. 

■11 If And Aaron fhall bring the bullock of the fin 
offering which is for himfelf, and fhall make an atone- 
ment for himfelf, and for his houfe ; and fhall kill the 
bullock of the fin offering which is for himfelf. 

12 And he fhall take a cenfer full of burning coals 
of fire from off the altar before the Lord, and his 
hands full offweetincenfe beaten fmall, and bring it 
within the veil. 

13 And he fhall put the incenfe upon the fire before 
the Lord, that the cloud of the incenfe may cover the 
mercy feat that is upon the teflimony, that he die not. 

14 d And he fhall take of the blood of the bullock, 
and e fprinkle it with his finger upon the mercy feat 
eaflward ; and before the mercy feat fhall he fprinkle 
of the blood with his finger feven times. 

15 IT Then fhall he kill the goat of the fin offering 
that is for the people, and bring his blood within the 
veil, and do with that blood as he did with the blood 
of the bullock, and fprinkle it upon the mercy feat, and 
before the mercy feat. 

16 And he fhall make an atonement for the holy 
place, becaufe of the uncleannefs of the children of

and fhall leave them there ;

N D the Lord fpake unto Mofes, faying, 
2 Speak unto Aaron, and unto his fons, and 
unto all the children of Ifrael, and fay unto them, This 
is the thing which the Lord hath commanded, faying, 

3 What man foever there be of the houfe of Ifrael, 
that killeth an ox, or lamb, or goat, in the camp, or 
that killeth it out of the camp, 

4 And bringeth it not unto the door of the taberna- 
cle of the congregation, to offer an offering unto the 
Lord before the tabernacle of the Lord ; blood fhall 
be imputed unto that man ; he hath fhed blood ; and 
that man fhall be cut off from among his people ; 

5 To the end that the children of Ifrael may bring 
their facrifices which they offer in the open field, even 
that they may bring them unto the Lord, unto the door 
of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the prieft, 
and offer them for peace offerings unto the Lord. 

6 And the prieft fhall fprinkle the blood upon the 
altar of the Lord, at the door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation, and a burn the fat for a fweet favour un- 
to the Lord. 

7 And they fhall no more offer their facrifices unto 
devils, after whom they have gone a whoring. This 
fhall be a ftatute for ever unto them throughout their 
generations. 

8 And thou (halt fay unto them, Whatfoever man 
there beoi the houfe of Ifrael, or of the ftrangers which 
fojourn among you, that oftereth a burnt offering or 
facrifice, 

9 And bringeth it not unto the door of the taberna- 
cle of the congregation, to offer it unto the Lord, even 
that man fhall be cut off from among his people. 

10 IT And whatfoever man there be of the houfe of 
Ifrael, or of the ftrangers that fojourn among you, 
that eateth any manner of blood ; I will even fet my 
face againft that foul that eateth blood, and will cut 
him off from among his people. 

1 1 For the life of the flefh is in the blood ; and I 
have given it to you upon the altar, to make an atone- 
ment for your fouls : for it is the blood that maketh 
an atonement for the foul. 

12 Therefore I faid unto the children of Ifrael, No 
foul of you fhall eat blood ; neither fhall any ftranger 
that fojourneth among you, eat blood. 

13 And whatfoever man there be of the children of 
Ifrael, or of the ftrangers that fojourn among you, 
t which hunteth and catclieth any beaft or fowl that 
may be eaten ; he fhall even pour out the blood 
thereof, and cover it with dull. 

14 b For it is the life of all flefh ; the blood of it is 
for the life thereof : therefore I faid unto the children 
of Ifrael, \ c fhall eat the blood of no manner of flefh : 
for the life of all flefh is the biood thereof ; whofoever 
eateth it fhall be cut off. 

15 IT And every foul that eateth t that which died 
of itself, or that which was torn with beasts, whether it 
he one of your own country, or a ftranger, he fhaJl 
both wafh his clothes, and bathe himself in water, and 
b j 'andean until the even : then fhall he be clean. 

16 B'it if he wafh them not, nor bathe his flefh, 
then he fhall bear his iniquity.

46 Theft are -the ftatutes, and judgments, and laws,

devoted thing may be redeemed. 30 The tithe is 
holy and may not be changed. 

N D the Lord fpake unto Mofes, faying, 
2 Speak unto the children of Ifrael, and fay 
unto them, When a man fhall make a lingular vow, 
the perfon shall be for the Lord by thy efiimation. 

3 IT And thy eftimation fhall be of the male, from 
twenty years old even unto iixty years old, even thy 
efiimation fhall be fifty fhekels of iilver, after the 
fhekel of the fanctuary. 

4 And if it be a female, then thy efiimation fhall be 
thirty fhekels. 

5 And if it be from five years old even unto twenty 
years old, then thy efiimation fhall be of the male 
twenty fhekels, and for the female ten fhekels. 

6 And if it be from a month old even unto five 
years old, then thy efiimation mail be of the male five 
ihekels of iilver ; and for the female thy efiimation 
shall be three fhekels of iilver. 

7 And if it be from iixty years old and above, if it 
he a male, then thy eftimation fhall be fifteen ihekels, 
and for the female ten fhekels. 

8 But if he be poorer thaw thy efiimation, then he 
fhall prefent himfelf before the prieil ; and the priefl 
fhall value him ; according to his ability that vowed, 
ihall the priefl value him. 

9 If And if it be abeaft whereof men bring an offer- 
ing unto the Lord, all that any man giveth offuch 
unto the Lord fhall be holy. 

10 He fhall not alter it, nor change it, a good for a 
bad, or a bad for a good : and if he ihall at all change 
beaft for beaft, then it, and the exchange thereof, 
ihall be holy.

or bad ; t as thou valuefl it, who art the priefl, fo fhall 
it be. * 

13 But if he will at all redeem it, then he fhall add 
a fifth part thereof unto thy efiimation. 

14 II And when a man fhall fanclify his houfe to be 
holy unto the Lord ; then the priefl ihall eftimate it, 
whether it be good or bad : as the priefl fhall eflimate 
it, fo fhall it ilancL 

15 And if he that fanclified it, will redeem his 
houfe, then he ihall add the fifth part of the money of 
thy efiimation unto it ; and it fhall be his. 

16 IT And if a man fhall fanfitify unto the Lord some 
part of a field of his poffeffion ; then thy efiimation 

ihall be according to the feed thereof ; H. an homer of II or, the 
barley feed shall ^ be valued at fifty fhekels of filver. )t^e°! £* . 

17 If he fauclify his field from the year of jubilee, 
according to thy efiimation it fhall ftand.. 

18 But if he fanclify his field after the jubilee, then 
the priefl fhall reckon unto him the money according 
to the years that remain, even unto the year of the 
jubilee, and it fhall be abated from thy efiimation. 

19 And if he that fan<5tified the field, will in any 
wife redeem it, then he ihall add the fifth part of the 
money of thy efiimation unto it, and it fhall be allured 
to Mm, 

20 And if he will not redeem the field, or if he 
have fold the field to another man, it ihall not be 
redeemed any more. 

21 But the field, when it goeth out in the jubilee,, 
fhall be holy unto the Lord, as a field devoted ; the 
poffeffion thereof fhall be the priefl' s. 

22 And if a man fanctify unto the Lord a field 
which he hath bought, which is not of the fields of 
his poffeffion.. 

23 Then the priefl fhall reckon unto him the worth 
of thy efiimation, even unto the year of the jubilee ; 
and he fhall give thine efiimation in that day as a holy 
thing unto the Lord. 

24 In the year of the jubilee the field fhall return 
unto him of whom it was bought, even to him to 
whom the poffeffion of the land did belong. 

25 And all thy eflimations fhall be according to the 
fhekel of the fanctuary : a twenty gerahs ihall be the 
fhekel. 

26 If Only the f firming of the beafts which fhould 
be the Lord's firflling, no man ihall fanclify it ; whe- 
ther it be ox or fheep, it is the Lord's. 

27 And if it be of an unclean beaft, then he fhall 
redeem it according to thine efiimation, and fhall add 
a fifth part of it thereto ; or if it be not redeemed, 
then it fhall be fold according to thy efiimation. 

28 U b Notwithftanding, no devoted thing that a man b 1°^ fi ** 
fhall devote unto the Lord, of all that he halh, both 

of man and beaft, and of the field of his poffeffion, 
fhall be fold or redeemed : every devoted tiling is 
moll holy unto the Lord. 

29 None devoted, which fhall be devoted of men, 
fhall be redeemed ; but fhall finely be put to death. 

30 IT And all the tithe of the land, ivhether of the 
feed of the land, or of the fruit of the tree, is the 
Lord's : it is holy unto the Lord.

he be jealous of his wife, and fhe be defiled ; or if the 
fpirit of jealoufy come upon him, and he be jealous of 
his wife, and fhe be not defiled : 

15 Then mail the man bring his wife unto the prieft, 
and he fhall bring her offering for her, the tenth part 
of an ephah of barley meal : he fhall pour no oil upon

to do the fervice of the children of Ifrael in the taber-

for the children of Ifrael ; that there be no plague 
among the children of Ifrael, when the children of If- 
rael come nigh unto the fanctuary. 

20 And Mofes and Aaron, and all the congregation 
of the children of Ifrael, did to the Levites according 
unto all that the Lord commanded Mofes concerning 
the Levites, fo did the children of Ifrael unto them. 

21 And the Levites were purified, and they warned 
their clothes : and Aaron offered them as an offering 
before the Lord ; and Aaron made an atonement for 
them to cleanfe them. 

22 And after that went the Levites in to do their 
fervice in the tabernacle of the congregation before 
Aaron, and before his fons : as the Lord had com- 
manded Mofes concerning the Levites, fo did they 
unto them.

24 This is it that bclongeth unto the Levites : 
From twenty and five years old and upward, they 
[hall go in f to wait upon the fervice of the taberna- t^.'.»™f. r

ernacle of the congregation, to keep the charge, and 
fhall do no fervice. Thus fhalt thou do unto the Le-

dwell in the mountains ; and the Canaanites dwell by 
the fea, and by the coaft of Jordan. 

30 And Caleb ftilled the people before Mofes, and 
faid, Let us go up at once, and poffefs it ; for we are 
well able to overcome it. 

31 But the men that went up with him faid, We 
be not able to go up againft the people, for they are 
flronger than we. 

32 And they brought up an evil report of the land 
which they had fearched unto the children of Ifrael, 
faying, The land T through which we have gone to 
fearch it, is a land that eateth up the inhabitants there- 

*/"*»"«. or>: ai1 ^ a ^ me People that we faw in it, are t men of 
a great ftature. 

33 And there we faw the giants, the fons of Anak, 
which come of the giants : and we were in our own 
fight as grafshoppers ; and fo we were in their light. 

C H A P. XIV. 

1 The people murmur at the news : 6 Joshua and Ca- 
leb labour to pacify them. 11 God threatened) them. 
13 Moses inter ceaeth withGod,andobtaiueth pardon. 
26 The murmurers are excluded from entering into 
the promised land. 36 The men v:ho raised the evil 
report die by a plague. 40 The people that against 
the will of God would invade the land, are smitten by 
the inhabitants of it. 

AN D all the congregation lifted up their voice, 
and cried ; and the people wept that night. 

2 And all the children of Ifrael murmured againft 
Mofes, and againft Aaron : and the whole congrega- 
tion laid unto them, Would God that we had died in 
the land of Egypt ! or, Would God we had died in 
this wildernefs ! 

3 And wherefore hath the Lord brought us unto 
this land, to fall by the fword, that our wives and our 
children fhould be a prey ? were it not better for us 
to return into Egypt ? 

4 And they faid one to another, Let us make a 
captain, and let us return into Egypt. 

5 Then Mofes and Aaron fell on their faces before 
all the affembly of the congregation of the children of 
Ifrael. 

6 If And Jofhua the fon of Nun, and Caleb the fon 
of Jephunneh, which xvere of them that fearched the 
land, rent their clothes : 

7- And they fpake unto all the company of the chil- 
dren of Ifrael, faying, The land, which we palled 
through to fearch it, is an exceeding good land. 



8 If the Lord delight in us, then he will bring us 
into this land, and give it us ; a land which floweth 
with milk and honey. 

9 Only rebel not ye againft the Lord, neither fear 
ye the people of the land ; for they are bread for us : 
their f defence is departed from them, and the Lord 
is with us : fear them not. 

10 But all the congregation bade ftone them with 
ftones. And the glory of the Lord appeared in. the 
tabernacle of the congregation, befoi-e all the children 
of Ifrael. 

11 If And the Lord faid unto Mofes, How long- 
will this people provoke me ? and how long will it be 
ere they believe me, for all the figns which I have 
fhewed among them ? 

12 I will -finite them Avith the peftilence, and difin- 
heritthern ; and will make of thee a greater nation, 
and mightier than thev. 

13 If And a Mofes faid unto the Lord, Then the 
Egyptians fliall hear it ; (for thou broughteft up this 
people in thy might from among them ;) 

14 And they will tell it to the inhabitants of this 
land : for they have heard that thou , L o r d , art among 
this people;, that thou, Lord, art feen face to face ; 
and that b thy cloud ftandeth over them ; and that thou 
goeft before them, by day time in a pillar of a cloud, 
and in a pillar of fire by night. 

15 Now, if thou fhalt kill all this people as one 
man,, then the nations which have heard the fame of 
thee, will fpeak, faying, 

16 Becaufe the Lord was not c able to bring this 
people into the land which he fware unto them, there- 
fore he hath flain them in the wildernefs. 

17 And now, I befeech thee, let the power of my 
Lord be great, according as thou haft fpoken, faying, 

18 The Lord is d long ftiffering, and of great mer- 
cy, forgiving, iniquity and tranfgrefhon, and by no 
means clearing the guilty ; e viliting the iniquity of 
the fathers upon the children unto the third and 
fourth generation. 

19 Pardon, Ibefeech thee, the iniquity of this people, 
according unto the greatnefs of thy mercy, and as thou 
haft forgiven this people from Egypt even j| until now. 

20 And the Lord faid, I have pardoned according 
to thy word :• 

21 But as truly as I live, all the earth fliall be filled 
with the glory of die Lord. 

22 Becaufe all thofe men which have feen my glory, 
and my miracles which I did in Egypt, and* in the 
wildernefs, have tempted me now thefe ten times, and 
have not hearkened to my voice ; 

23 f Surely they fhall not fee the land which I fware 
unto their fathers, neither fhall any of them that pro- 
voked me fee it .: 

24 But my fervant f Caleb, becaufe he had another 
fpirit with him, and hath followed me fully, him will I 
bring into the land whereinto he went ; and his feed 
fhall poffefs it, 

25 (Now the Amalekites and the Canaanites dwelt 
in the valley.) Tomorrow turn ye, and get you into 
the wildernefs, by the way of the Red Sea. 

26 If And the Lord fpake unto Mofes, and unto 
Aaron, faying, 

> 27 How long shall I bear with this evil congrega- 
tion, which murmur againft me ? I have heard the 
murmurings of the children of Ifrael, which they mur- 
mur againft me.

which have murmured againft me, 

30 Doubtlefs ye fliall not come into the land, con-

31" But your little ones, which yefaid Ihould be a

32 But as for you, your carcaffes, they fliall fall in

i^ra^'o-ed the land, even l forty days, (each day for a year,) 

fliall ye bear vour iniquities, even forty years ; and 
Ifmyfurp^lW fhall know || my-breach of promife. 

35 I the Lord have faid, I will furely do it unto

againft me : in this wildernefs they fliall be confumed, 
and there they fhall die. 

36 If And themen which Moles fent to fearch the land,

againft him, by bringing up a flander upon the land ; 

37 Even thofe men that did bring up the evil report 
upon the land k died by the plague before the Lord. 

38 But Jofhua the fon of Nun, and Caleb the fon 
of Jephunneh, which were of themen that went to 
fearch the land, lived still. 

39 And Moles told thefe fayings unto all the chil- 
dren of Ifrael : and the people mourned greatly. 

40 If And they rofe up early in the morning, and 
gat them up into the top of the mountain, faying, Lo, 
1 we be here, and will go up unto the place which the 
Lord hath promifed : for we have linned. 

41 And Mofes faid, Wherefore now do # ye tranf- 
grefs the commandment of the Lord ? but it fliall 
not profper. 

42 Go not up, for the Lord is not among you; 
that ye be not fmitten before your enemies. 

43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there 
before you, and ye fliall fail by the fword : becaufe ye 
are turned away from the Lord, therefore the Lord 
will not be with you. 

44 But they prefumed to go up unto the hill top ; 
neverthelefs the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and 
Mofes, departed not out of the camp. 

45 Then the Amalekites came down, and the Ca-

25 And die prieft fhall make an atonementfor all

26 And it ihall be forgiven all the congregation of

28 And the prieft fhall make an atonement for the

29 Ye fhall have one law for him that t finneth

and hath broken his commandment, that foul fhall

2 And they rofe up before Mofes, with certain of 
the children of Ifrael, two hundred and fifty princes 

of the affembly, b famous in the congregation, men bchap.169 
of renown : 

3 And they gathered themfelves together againft 
Mofes, and againft Aaron, and faid unto them, f Ye 
take too much upon you, feeing all the congregation 
are holy, every one of them, and the Lord is among 
them : wherefore then lift ye up yourfelves above the 
congregation of the Lord ? 

4 H And when Mofes heard it, he fell upon his face : 

5 And he fpake unto Korah, and unto all his com- 
pany, faying, Even tomorrow the Lord will ihew 
who are his, and who is holy ; and will caufe him to 
come near unto him : even him whom he hath chofen 
will he caufe to come near unto him. 

6 This do ; Take you cenfers, Korah and all his 
company ; 

7 And put fire therein, and put incenfe in them be- 
fore the Lord tomorrow ; and it fhall be, that the 
man whom the Lord doth choofe, he shall be holy : 
ye take too much upon you, ye fons of Levi. 

8 And Moles faid unto Korah, Hear, I pray you, 
ye fons of Levi ; 

9 Seemeth it but a fmall thing unto you, that the God 
of Ifrael hath feparated you from the congregation of 
Ifrael, to bring you near to himfelf, to do the fervice 
of the tabernacle of the Lord, and to fland before the 
congregation, to miniflerunto them ? 

10 And he hath brought thee near to him, and all 
thy brethren the fons of Levi with thee ; and feek ye 
the priefthood alfo ? 

1 1 For which caufe both thou and all thy company 
are gathered together againft^ the Lord : and what is 
Aaron, that ye murmur againft him ? 

12 II And Mofes fent to call Dathan and Abiram, 
the fons ofEliab ; which faid, We will not come up : 

13 Is it a fmall thing that thou haft brought us up 
out cf a land that floweth with milk and honey, to 
kill us in the wildemefs, except thou make thyfelf al- 
together a prince over us ? 

14 Moreover, thou haft not brought us into a land 
that floweth with miik and honey, or given us inherit- 
ance of fields and vineyards : wilt thou f put out the 
eyes of thefe men ? we will not come up. 

15 And Mofes was very wroth, and faid unto the 
Lord, c RefpecTl not thou their offering : I have not ccen. 44 
taken one afs from them, neither have I hurt one of 
them. 

16 H And Mofes faid unto Korah, Be thou and all 
thy company before the Lord, thou, and they, and 
Aaron tomorrow : 

17 And take every man his cenfer, and put incenfe 
in them, and bring ye before the Lord every man 
his cenfer, two hundred and fifty cenfers ; thou alfo, 
and Aaron, each of you his cenfer. 

18 And they took every man his cenfer, and put 
fire in them, and laid incenfe thereon, and flood in 
the door of the tabernacle of the congregation with 
Mofes and Aaron. 

19 And Korah gathered all the congregation againft 
them unto the door of the tabernacle of the congrega- 
tion: and the glory of the Lord appeared unto all 
the congregation.

20 If And the Lord fpake unto Mofes, and unto

22 And they fell upon their faces, andfaid, OGod, 
the God of the fpirits of all flefh, lhall one man fin, 
and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation ? 

23 H And the Lord fpake unto Mofes, faying, 

24 Speak unto the congregation, faying, Get ye up 
from about the tabernacle of Koran, Dathan, and 
Abiram. 

25 And Mofes rofe up, and went unto Dathan and 
Abiram ; and the elders of Ifrael followed him. 

26 And he fpake unto the congregation, faying. 
Depart, I pray you, from the tents of thefe wicked 
men, and touch nothing of theirs, left ye be confumed 
in all their lins. 

27 So they gat up from the tabernacle of Korah, 
Dathan and Abiram on every fide ; and Dathan and 
Abiram came out, and flood m the door of their tents, 
and their wives, and their fons, and their little children. 

28 And Moles faid, Hereby ye lhall know that the 
Lord hath lent me to do all thefe works ; (for / have 
not done them of mine own mind ;) 

29 If thefe men die t the common death of all men, 
or if they be viiited after the vilitation of all men, then 
the Lord hath not lent me : 

30 But if the Lord fmake a new thing, and the 
earth open her mouth, and fwallow them up, with all 
that appertain unto them, and they go down quick 
into the pit ; then ye lhall underftand that thefe men 
have provoked the Lord. 

31 II d And it came to pafs, as he had made an end 
FsaimiofiW.of fpeaking all thefe words, that the ground clave 

afunder that ivas under them : 

32 And the earth opened her mouth, and fwallow- 
ed them up, and uheir houfes, and all the men that 
appertained unto Korah, and all their goods. 

33 They, and all that appertained to them, went 
down alive into the pit, and the earth clofed upon them : 
and they periihed from among the congregation. 

34 And all Ifrael that were round about them, fled 
at the cry of them : for they faid, Left the earth fwal- 
low us up also. 

35 And there came out a fire from the Lord, and 
confumed the two hundred and fifty men that offered 
incenfe. 

36 IT And the Lord fpake unto Mofes, faying, 

37 Speak unto Eleazar the fon of Aaron the prieft, 
that he take up the cenfers out of the burning, and 
fcatter thou the fire yonder ; for they are hallowed. 

38 The cenfers of thefe finners againli their own 
fouls, let them make them broad plates for a cover- 
ing of the altar ; for they offered them before the 
Lord, therefore they are hallowed ; and they lhall be 
a fign unto the children of Ifrael. 

39 And Eleazar the prieft took the brafen cenfers, 
wherewith they that were burnt had offered ; and they 
were made broad plates for a covering of the altar ; 

40 To be a memorial unto the children of Ifrael, 
that no ftranger, which is not of the feed of Aaron, 
come near to offer incenfe before the Lord, that he

and put fire therein from off the altar, and put on

make an atonement for them ; for there is wrath gone 
out from the Lord ; the plague is begun.

22 Neither muft the children of Ifrael, henceforth,

generations, that among the children of Ifrael they 
have no inheritance. 

24 But the tithes of the children of Ifrael, which 
they offer as an heave offering unto the Lord, I have 
given to the Levites to inherit : therefore I have faid 
unto them, Among the children of Ifrael, they fhall 
have no inheritance. 

25 H And the Lord fpake unto Mofes, faying, 

26 Thus fpeak unto the Levites, and fay unto them, 
When ye take of the children of Ifrael, the tithes, 
which I have given you from them for your inherit- 
ance, then ye fhall offer up an heave offering of it for 
the Lord, even a tenth part of the tithe. 

27 And this your heave offering Ihall be reckoned 
unto you, as though it were the corn of the threfhing 
floor, and as the fulnefs of the wine prefs. 

28 Thus ye alfo fhall offer an heave offering unto 
the Lord, of all your tithes which ye receive of the 
children of Ifrael ; and ye fhall give thereof the 
Lord's heave offering to Aaron the prieft. 

29 Out of all your gifts, ye ihall offer every heave 
offering of the Lord of all the t belt thereof, event Hcb

30 Therefore thou fhalt fay unto them, When ye 
have heaved the beft thereof from it, then it fhall be 
counted unto the Levites, as the increafe of the threfh-

31 And ye fhall eat it in every place, ye and your

N D the Lord fpake unto Mofes, and unto 
Aaron, faying, 

2 This is the ordinance of the law, which the Lord 
bath commanded, faying, Speak unto the children of 
Ifrael, that they bring thee a red heifer without fpot, 
wherein is no blemiih, and upon which never came 
yoke. 

3 And ye fhall give her unto Eleazar the prieft, 
aHeb,I3n ' that he may bring her a forth without the camp, and 

one fhall flay her before his face. 

4 And Eleazar the prieft fhall take of her blood,

before the tabernacle of the congregation, feven times. 

5 And one [hall burn the heifer in his light ; c her 
[kin, and her flefh, and her blood, with her dung, 
fhall he burn. 

6 And the prieft fhall take cedar wood, and hyffop, 
and fcarlet, and call it into the midft of. the burning 
of the heifer. 

7 Then the prieft fliall wafh his clothes, and he 
fhall bathe his flefh in water, and afterward he fhall 
come into the camp, and the prieft fhall be unclean 
until the even. 

8 And he that burnetii her, fhall wafh his clothes 
in water, and bathe his fieih in water, and fhall be un- 
clean until the even. 

9 And a man that is clean fhall gather up the afhes 
of the heifer, and lay them up without the camp, in a 
clean place ; and it fhall be kept for the congregation 
of the children of Ifrael, for a water of feparation : it 
is a purification for fin. 

10 And he that gathereth the afhes of the heifer, 
fhall wafh his clothes, and be unclean until the even : 
and it fliall be unto the children of Ifrael, and unto 
the ftranger that fojourneth among them, for a ftatute 
for ever. 

1 1 H He that toucheth the dead body of any f man, 
fhall be unclean feven days. 

12 He fhall purify himfelfwithitonthethirdday, 
and on the feventh day, he fhall be clean : but if he 
purify not himfelf the third day, then the feventh day 
he fhall not be clean. 

13 Whofoever toucheth the dead body of any man 
that is dead, and purifieth not himfelf, defileth the 
tabernacle of the Lord ; and that foul mail be cut off 
from Ifrael : becaufe the water of feparation was not 
fprinkled upon him, he fhall be unclean ; his unclean- 
nefs is yet upon him. 

14 11 This is the law, when a man dieth in a tent ; 
all that come into the tent, and all that is in the tent, 
fhall be unclean feven days : 

15 And every open veffel, which hath no covering 
bound upon it, is unclean. 

16 And whofoever toucheth one that is flam with 
a fvvord in the open fields, or a dead body, or a bone

1 The children of Israel come to Zin, ivhere Miriam 
dieth : 2 they murmur for want of water. 7 Moses 
smiting the rock, water cometh forth. 12 God is dis- 
pleased with Moses and Aaron at Meribah. 14 Mo- 
ses, at Kadesh, desireth passage through Edom, 
which is denied him. 22 At mount Hor, Aaron 
resigneth his place to Eleazar, and dieth. 

THEN came the children of Ifrael, even the whole 
congregation, into the defert ofZin,inthe firft 
month : and the people abode in Kadefh ; and Mi- 
riam died there, and was buried there. 

2 H And there was no water for the congregation : 
and they gathered themfelves together againft Mofes, 
and againft Aaron. 

3 And the people a chode Avith Mofes, and fpake, aExod-172 
faying, Would God that we had died b when our b cha P . u 
brethren died before the Lord ! "3* 

4 And why have ye brought up the congregation 
of the Lord into this wildernefs, that we and our 
cattle fhould die there ? 

5 And wherefore have ye made us to come up out 
of Egypt, to bring us in unto this evil place ? it is no 
place of feed, or of figs, or of vines, or of pomegran- 
ates ; neither is there any water to drink. 

6 And Mofes and Aaron went from the prefence 
of the affembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the 
congregation ; and they fell upon their faces ; and the 
glory of the Lord appeared unto them. 

7 "H And the Lord fpake unto Mofes, faying, 

8 Take the rod, and gather thou the affembly 
together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and fpeak ye 
unto the rock before their eyes ; and it fliall giveforth 
his water, and thou fhalt bring forth to them water 
out of the rock ; fo thou fhalt give the congregation 
and their beafts drink. 

9 And Mofes took the rod from before the Lord, 
as he commanded him. 

10 And Mofes and Aaron gathered the congrega- 
tion together before the rock ; and he faid unto them, 
Hear now, ye rebels ; muft we fetch you water out 
of this rock ? 

1 1 And Mofes lifted up his hand, and with his rod 
he foiote the rock twice ; and the water came out 

abundantly

abundantly ; and the congregation drank, and their

12 It And the Lord fpake unto Mofes and Aaron, 
Becaufe ye believed me not, tofan£tify me in the eyesof 
the children of Ifrael, therefore ye ihall not bring this 
congregation into the land which I have given them. 

13 c This is the water of || Meribah : becaufe the 
children of Ifrael ftrove with the Lord, and he was 
fanciified m them. 

14 If And Mofes fent melfengers from Kadeffi unto 
the king of Edom, Thus faith thy brother Ifrael, 

t H&. found Thou knoweft all the travel that hath f befallen us ; 
*f 15 How our fathers went down into Egypt, and we 

have dwelt in Egypt along time ; and the Egyptians 

vexed us, and our fathers. 

16 And when we cried unto the Lord, he heard 
our voice, and fent an angel, and hath_ brought us 
forth out of Egypt ; and, behold, we are in Kadefh, a 
city in the uttermoft of thy border. 

17 Let us pafs, I pray thee, through thy country ; 
we will not pafs through the fields or through the 
vineyards, neither will we drink of the water of the 
wells ; we will go by the king's high way ; we will 
not turn to the right hand nor to the left, until we have 
paffed thy borders. 

18 And Edom faid unto him, Thou (halt not pafs 
by me, left I come out againft thee with the fword. 

19 And the children of Ifrael faid unto him, We 
will go by the high way ; and if I and my cattle drink 
of thy water, then I will pay for it : I will only (with- 
out doing any thing else J go through on rny feet. 

20 And he faid, Thou fhaltnotgo through. And 
Edom came out againft him with much people, and 
with a ftrong hand. 

2 1 Thus Edom refufed to give Ifrael paffage through 
his border : wherefore Ifrael turned away from him. 

22 If And the children of Ifrael, evenfaz whole con-

27 And Mofes did as the Lord commanded ; and

put them upon Eleazar his fon ; and f Aaron died

P. XXI. Sundry journeys of the Israelites. 

AN D ivben a king Arad the Canaanite, which 
dwelt in the fouth, heard tell that Ifrael came by ^ 
the way of the fpies, then he fought againft Ifrael, and »<*»?• w 
took some of them prifoners. 

2 And Ifrael vowed a vow unto the Lord, and faid, 
If thou wilt indeed deliver this people into my hand, 
then I will utterly deftroy their cities. 

3 And the Lord hearkened to the voice of Ifrael j 
and delivered up the Canaanites ; and they utterly 
deftroyed them and their cities : and he called the 
name of the place [| Hormah. 

4 If And they journey ed from mount Hor, by the 
way of the Red fea, to compafs the land of Edom : 
and the foul of the people was much || f difcouraged 
bacaufe of the way. 

5 And the people fpake againft God, and againft 
Mofes, Wherefore have ye brought us up out of Egypt 
todie in the wildernefs ? for there is no bread, neither is 
there any water ; and b our foul loatheththislight bread. 

6 And c the Lord fent fiery ferpents among the 
people, and they bit the people ; and much people of 
Ifrael died. 

7 If Therefore the people came to Mofes, and faid, 
We have finned : for we have fpoken againft the 
Lord, and againft thee : pray unto the Lord, that 
he take away the ferpents from us. And Mofes pray- 
ed for the people. 

8 And the Lord faid unto Mofes, Make thee a 
fiery ferpent, and fet it upon a pole : and it fhall come 
to pafs, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh 
upon it, ihall live. 

9 And d Mofes made a feipent of brafs, and put it 
upon a pole : and it came to pafs, that if a ferpent had J 011 " 3 «4 
bitten any man, when he beheld the ferpent of brafs, 
he lived. 

10 If And the children of Ifrael fet forward, and 
e pitched in Oboth. 

11 And they journeyed from Oboth, and pitched 
at || Ijeabarim, in the wildernefs "which is before 
Moab, toward the fun rifing. 

12 From thence they removed, and pitched in the 
valley of Zared. 

13 From thence they removed, and pitched on the 
other fide of Arnon, which is in the wildernefs that 
cometh out of the coafts of the Amorites ; for Amon is 
the border of Moab, between Moab and the Amorites. 

14 Wherefore it is faid in the book of the wars of 
the Lord, II What he did in the Red fea, and in the 
brooks of Arnon. 

15 And at the ftream of the brooks that goeth 
down to the dwelling of Ar, and f lieth upon the £ »;*; 
border of Moab. 

16 And from thence they went to Beer : that is the 
well, whereof the Lord fpake unto Mofes, Gather 
the people together, and I will give them water.

18 The princes digged the well, the nobles of the " 
people digged it, by the direction of the lawgiver, with 
their ftaves. And from the wilderneis they went to 
Mattanah ;

22 Let me pals through thy land : we will not 
turn into the fields, or into the vineyards ; we will not 
drink of the waters of the well : but we will go along 
by the king's high way, until we be paft thy borders. 

23 s And Sihon would not fuffer Ifrael to pafs 
through his border ; but Sihon gathered allhispeople 
together, and went out againft Ifrael into the wilder- 
nefs : and he came to Jahaz, and fought againft Ifrael. 

24 And h Ifrael fmote him with the edge of the 
■ fvvord, and poffeffed his land from Anion unto Jab- 

bok, even unto the children of Ammon : for the bor- 
der of the children of Amnion was ftrong. 

25 And Ifrael took all thefe cities ; and Ifrael 
dwelt in all the cities cf the Amorites, in Heflibon, 
and in all the t villages thereof. 

26 For Hefhbon was the city of Sihon the king of 
the Amorites, who had fought againft the former king 
of Moab, and taken all his land out of his hand, even 
unto Anion. 

27 Wherefore they that fpeak in proverbs fay, 
Come into Hefhbon, let the city of Sihon be built and 
prepared : 

28 For there is a fire gone out of Heflibon, a flame 
from the city of Sihon : it hath confumed Arof Moab, 
and the lords of the high places of Arnon. 

29 Woe to thee, Moab ! thou art undone, O people 
of 5 Chemofh ! he hath given his fons that efcaped, 
and his daughters, into captirity unto Sihon king of 
the Amorites. 

30 We have fliot at them ; Heflibon is perifhed 
even untoDibon, and we have laid them walle even 
unto Nophah, which reacheth unto Medeba. 

3 1 II Thus Ifrael dwelt in the land of the Amorites. 

32 And Mofes fent to fpy out Jaazer, and they 
took the villages thereof, and drove out the Amorites 
that were there. 

33 IT k And they turned and went up by the way of 
Bafhan : and Og the king of Bafhan went out againft 
them, he and all his people, to the battle at Edrei. 

34 And the Lord faid unto Mofes, Fear him not : 
for I have delivered him into thy hand, and all his 
people, and his land ; and ' thou fhalt do to him as 
thou didft unto Sihon king of the Amorites, which 
dwelt at Heflibon. 

35 So they fmote him, and his fons, and all his 
people, until there was none left him alive : and they 
poffeffed his land.

An angel opposcth Balaam, 

Balak the fon of Zippor was king of the Moabites at 
that time. 

5 a He fent meffengers, therefore, unto Balaam the 
fon of Beor, to Pethor, which is by the river of the 
land of the children of his people, to call him, faying, 
Behold, there is a people come out from Egypt : be- 
hold, they cover the | face of the earth, and they abide + Hcb -'> 
over againft me. 

6 Come now, therefore, I pray thee, curfe me this 
people ; for they are too mighty for me : peradventure 
I fhall prevail', that we may fmite them, and that I 
may drive them out of the land : for I wot that he 
whom thou bleffeft is bleffed, and he whom thou 
curfeft is curfed. 

7 And the elders of Moab, and the elders of Mi- 
dian, departed with the rewards of divination in their 
hand ; and they came unto Balaam, and fpake unto 
him the words of Balak. 

8 And he faid unto them, Lodge here this night, 
and I will bringyou word again, as the Lord fhall fpeak 
unto me. Andtheprinces ofMoab abode with Balaam. 

9 And God came unto Balaam, and laid, What 
men are thefe w ith thee ? 

10 And Balaam laid unto God, Balak the fon of 
Zippor, king of Moab, hath fent unto me, saying, 

11 Behold, there is a people come out of Egypt, 
which covereth the face of the earth : come now, 
curfe me them ; peradventure f I fhall be able to 
overcome them, and drive them, out. 

12 And God faid unto Balaam, thou fhalt not go 
with them ; thou fhalt not curfe the people : for they 
are bleffed. 

13 And Balaam rofe up in the morning, and faid 
unto the princes of Balak, Get you into your land : for 
the Lord refufeth to give me leave to go with you. 

14 And the princes of Moab rofe up. and they went 
unto Balak, and faid, Balaam refufeth to come with us. 

15 TT And Balak lent yet again princes, more, and 
more honourable than they. 

16 And they came to Balaam, and faid to him, 
Thus faith Balak the fon of Zippor, | Let nothing, I 
pray thee, hinder thee from coming unto me ; 

17 For I will promote thee unto very great honour, 
and I will do whatsoever thou fayeft unto me : come, 
therefore, I pray thee, curfe me this people. 

18 And Balaam anfwered and laid unto the fervants 

of Balak, b If Balak would give me his houfe full of b 3 clap - 24 
lilver and gold, I cannot go beyond the word of the 
Lord my God, to do lei's or more. 

19 Now, therefore, I pray you, tarry ye alfo here 
this night, that I may know what the Lord will fay 
unto me more. 

20 And God came unto Balaam at night, and faid 
unto him, If the men come to call thee, rife up, and go 
with them: but yet the word which I fliall fay unto 
thee, that fhalt thou do. 

21 And Balaam rofe up in the morning, and faddled 
his afs, and went with the princes of Moab. 

22 TT And God's anger was kindled becaufe he went, 
and the angel of the Lord flood in the way for an 
adverfary againft him. (Now he was riding upon his 
afs, and his two fervants were with him.) 

23 And c the afs faw the angel of the Lord Handing p^f; 
in the way, and his fwprd drawn in his hand : and the 
afs turned afide out of the way, and went into the field *, 
and Balaam fmote the afs, to turn her into the way.

24 But the angel of the Lord Hood in a path of the 
, vineyards, a wall being on this iide, and a wall on that 
fide. 

25 And when the afs faw the angel of the Lord, 
{lie thruft herlelf unto the wad, and crufhed Balaam's 
foot againft the wall ; and he fmote her again. 

26 And the angel of the Eord went further, and 
flood in a narrow place, where was no way to turn, 
either to the right hand or to the left. 

27 And when the afs faw the angel of the Lord, 
fhe fell down under Balaam : and Balaam's anger was 
kindled, and he fmote the afs with a ftaff. 

28 And the Lord opened the mouth of the afs ; 
and fhe faid unto Balaam, What have I done unto 
thee, that thou haft fmittea me thefe three times ? 

29 And Balaam faid unto the afs, Becaufe thou haft 
mocked me : I would there were a fuord in mine 
hand, for now would I kill thee. 

30 And the afs laid untoBalaam, Am not I thine afs, 
t upon which thou haft ridden || ever lince Iivas thine 
unto this day ? was I ever wont to do fo unto thee ? 
And he faid, Nay. 

31 Then the Lord opened the eyes of Balaam, and 
he law the angel of the Lord Handing in the way, and 
his fword drawn in his hand : and he bowed down his 
head, and || fell flat on his face. 

32 And the angel of theLoRD faid unto him, Where- 
fore haft thou fmitten thine afs thefe three times ? be- 
hold, I went out f to withftand thee, becaufe thy way 
is perveife before me. 

33 And the afs law me, and turned from me thefe 
three times : unlefs fhe had turned from me, fureiy 
now alfo I had flain thee, and fayed her alive. 

34 And Balaam faid unto the angei of the Lord, 
jl have tinned ; for I knew not that thou flooded in 

In thin- eyLxhft way againft me: now r therefore, if itfdifpleafe 
thee, I will get me back again. 

35 And the angel of the Lord faid unto Balaam, 
Go with the men : but only the word that I ihall fpeak 
unto thee, that thou fhalt fpeak. So Balaam went 
with the princes of Balak. 

36 IT And when Balak heard that Balaam was come, 
he went out to meet him unto a city of Moab, which is 
in the border of Anion, which is in the utmoft coaft. 

37 And Balak faid unto Balaam, Did I not earneftly 
fend unto thee to call thee ? wherefore cameft thou not 
unto me ? am I not able indeed to promote thee to 
honour ? 

38 And Balaam faid untoBalak, Lo, I am come unto 
thee : have I now any power at all to fay any thing ? the 
word that God putteth in my mouth, that mall I fpeak. 

39 And Balaam went with Balak, and they came 
unto II Kirjathhuzoth. 

40 And Balak offered oxen and fheep, and fent to 
Balaam, and to the princes that were with him. 

41 And it came to pafs on the morrow, that Balak 
took Balaam, and brought him up into the high places 
of Baal, that thence he might fee the utmoft part of 
the people.

2 And Balak did as Balaam had fpoken ; and Balak 
and Balaam offered on every altar a bullock and a ram. 

3 And Balaam faid unto Balak, Stand by thy burnt 
offering, and I will go ; peradventure the Lord will 
come to meet me ; and whatfoever he fheweth me, I 
will tell thee. And H he went to an high place. 

4 And God met Balaam : and he laid unto him, I 
have prepared feven altars, and I have offered upon 
every altar a bullock and a ram. 

5 And the Lord put a word in Balaam's mouth, and 
faid, Return unto Balak, and thus thou fhalt fpeak. 

6 And he returned unto him, and, lo, he flood 
by his burnt facrifice, he, and all the princes of 
Moab. 

_ 7 IT And he took up his parable, and faid, Balak the 
king of Moab hath brought me from Aram, out of the 
mountains of the eaft, saying, Come, curie me Jacob ; 
and come, defy Ifrael. 

8 How fhall I curfe whom God hath not curfed ? 
or how ihall I defy, whom the Lord hath not defied ? 

9 For from the top of the rocks I fee him, and from 
the hills I behold him: lo, the people Ihall dwell alone, 
and ihall not be reckoned among the nations. 

10 Who can count the dull of Jacob, and the number 
of the fourth part of Ifrael ? Let f me die the death 
of the righteous, and let my lafl end be like his '

and, behold, thou haft bleffed them altogether. 

12 And he anfwered and faid, Muft I not take heed 
to fpeak that which the Lord hath put in my mouth ? 

13 And Balak faid unto him, Come, I pray thee, 
with me unto another place, from whence thou may- 
eft fee them : thou fhalt fee but the utmoft part of 
them, and fhalt not fee them all ; and curfe me them 
from thence. 

14 IT And he brought him into the field of Zophim, 
to the top of II Pifgah, and built feven altars, and offer- s or, the 
ed a bullock and a ram on every altar. 

15 And he faid untoBalak, Stand hereby thy burnt 
offering, while I meet the Lord yonder. 

16 And theLoR d metBalaam,and 3 put a word in his 
mouth, and faid, Go again untaBalak, and fay thus. 

17 And when he came to him, behold, he flood by 
his burnt offering, and the princes of Moab with him. 
And Balak faid unto him, What hath the Lor d Ipoken ? 

18 TT And he took up his parable, and faid, Rife 
up, Balak, and hear ; hearken unto me, thou fon of 
2;ippor : 

19 God is not a man, that he fhould lie ; neither 
the fon of man, that he fhould repent : hath he faid, 
and fhall he not do it ? or hath he fpoken and fhall he 
not make it good ? 

20 Behold I have received commandment to blefs, 
and he hath bleffed, and I cannot reverie it. 

21 He hath not beheld iniquity in Jacob, neither

AN D when Balaam faw that it pleafed the Lord 
to blefs Ifrael, he went not, as at a other times, 
t to feek for enchantments, but he fet his face toward 
the wildernefs. 

2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he faw Ifrael 
abiding in his tents according to their tribes ; and the 
Spirit of God came upon him. 

3 b And he took up his parable, and faid, Balaam 
the fon of Beor hath faid, and the man t whofe eyes 
are open hath faid ; 

4 He hath faid, which heard the words of God, 
which faw the vilion of the Almighty, falling into a 
trance, but having his eyes open ; 

5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob ! and thy tab- 
ernacles, O Ifrael I 

6 As the vallies are they fpread forth, as gardens by 
the river's fide, as the trees of lign aloes, which the 
Lord hath planted, and as cedar trees befide the 
waters. 

7 He fhall pour the water out of his buckets, and 
his feed shall be in many waters ; and his king fhall be 
higher than Agag, and his kingdom fhall be exalted. 

8 c God brought him forth out of Egypt ; he hath 
as it were the ftrength of an unicorn : he fhall eat up 
the nations his enemies, and fhall break their bones 
and pierce them through with his arrows. 

9 d He couched, he lay down as a lion, and as a 
great lion ; who fhall ftir him up ? Bleffed is he that 
bleffeth thee, and curfed is he that curfeth thee. 

10 If And Balak 's anger was kindled againft Ba- 
laam, and he fmote his hands together : and Balak 
faid unto Balaam, I called thee to curfe mine enemies, 
and, behold, thou haft altogether bleffed them thefe 
three times. 

1 1 Therefore now flee thou to thy place : I thought 
to promote thee unto great honour ; but, lo, the 
Lord hath kept thee back from honour. 

12 And Balaam faid unto Balak, Spake I not alfo to 
thy meffengers which thou fenteft unto me, faying, 

13 If Balak would give me his houfe full of filver 
and gold, I cannot go beyond the commandment of 
the Lord, to do either good or bad of mine own 
mind ; but what the Lord faith, that will I fpeak ?

16 He hath faid, which heard the words of God, 
and knew the knowledge of the moil High, which faw 
the vifiori of the Almighty, falling into a trance, but 
having his eyes open : 

17 1 fhall fee him, but not now ; I fhall behold him,

20 And when he looked on Amalek, he .took up his 
parable, and faid, Amalek was II the iirft of the nations, 
but his latter end f] shall be that he perifh for ever. 

21 And he looked on the Kenites, and took up his 
parable, and faid, Strong is thy dwelling place, and 
thou putteft thy neft in a rock :

til Asihur fhall carry thee away captive. 

23 And he took up his parable, and faid, Alas !

24 And fhips shall come from the coaft of Chittim, 
and fhall afflict Asfhur, and fhall afflia Eber, and he 
alfo fhall perilh for ever.

2 If a man vow a vow unto the Lord, or fwear an 
oath to bind his foul with a bond ; he lhall not t break 
his word ; he ihall do according to all that proceedeth 
out of his mouth- 

. 3 If If a woman alfo vow a vow unto the Lord, and 
bind herself by a bond, being in her father's houfe in

4 And her father hear her vow and her bond, 
wherewith flie hath lx>und her foul, and her father fhall 
hold his peace at her : then all her vows lhall Hand, 
and everv bond wherewith ihe hath bound her foul, 
lhall Hand. 

5 But if her father difallow her in the day that lie 
heareth, not any of her vows, or of her bonds, where- 
with fhe hath bound her foul, fhall Hand- andtheLoRD 
fhall forgive her, becaufe her father difallowed her.. 

6 If And if fhe had at all an hufband when j fhe 
vowed, or uttered aught out of her lips, wherewith fhe 
bound her foul ; 

7 And her hufband heard it, and held Ins peace at 
her in the day that he heard it ; then her vows fhall 
ftand, and her bonds Avherewith fhe bound her foul, 
ihall ftancL 

8 But if her hufband difallowed her on the day that 
he heard it ; their he fhall make her vow which ihe 
vowed,, and that which file uttered with her lips, 
wherewith fhe bound her foul,, of none effect : and 
the Lord fhall forgive her. 

( 9 If But every vow of a widow, and of her that is 
divorced, wherewith they have bound their fouls, 
ihall ftand againft her.- 

10 And if ihe vowed in her hufband's houfe, or 
bound her foul by a bond with an oath ; 

11 And her hufband heard it, and held his peace at

Hand, and every bond wherewith ihe bound her foul, 
ihall ftand. 

12 But if her hufband hath utterly made them void 
on the day he heard them ; ziwnvhatibever proceeded 
out of her lips concerning her vows, or concerning the 
bond of her foul, fhall not ftand : her hufband hath 
made them void ; and the Lord fhall forgive her. 

13 Every voW^and every binding oath to afflict the 
foul, her hufband may eftabliih it, or her hufband may 
make it void. 

14 But if her hufband altogether hold his peace at 
her from day to day ; then he eltabliiheth all her

fhall appoint for the manflayer, that hemayfleediither : 
and f to them ye fhall add fortjr and two "cities. 

7 So all the cities winch ye fhall give to the Levites 
shall be forty and eight cities : them shall ye give with 
their fuburbs. 

8 And the cities which ye fhall give, shall be of the 
poffeflion of the children of Ifrael : from them that 
have many, ye fhall give many ; but from them that 
have few, ye fhall give few : every one fhall give of 
his cities unto the Levites according to his inheritance 
which t he inheriteth. 

9 IT And the Lord fpake unto Mofes, faying, 

10 Speak unto the children of Ifrael, and fay unto 
them, c When ye be come over Jordan into the land 
of Canaan, 

11 Then ye fhall appoint you cities to be cities of 
refuge for you ; that the flayer may flee thither which 
killeth any perfon t at unawares. 

12 And they fhall be unto you cities for refuge 
from the avenger : that the manflayer die not, until he 
ftand before the congregation in judgment. 

13 And of thefe cities which ye fhall give, fix cities 
fhall ye have for refuge. 

14 Ye fliall give three cities on this fide Jordan, 
and three cities fhall ye give in the land of Canaan, 
xv hie b fliall be cities of refuge. 

15 Thefe fix cities fhall be a refuge, both for the 
children of Ifrael, and for the ftranger, and for the 
fojourner among them ; that every one that killeth 
any perfon unawares may flee thither. 

16 d And if he finite him with an inftrument of 
iron, fo that he die, he is a murderer : die murderer 
fliall finely be put to death. 

17 And if he finite him f with throwing a ftone, 
w herewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer : 
the murderer Ihall finely be put to death. 

18 Or i/lie finite him withan hand weapon of wood, 
wherewith he may die, and he die, he is a murderer : 
the murderer fliall finely be put to death. 

19 The revenger of blood himfelf fhall flay the 
murderer : when he meetcth him, he fliall flay him. 

20 But e if he thruft him of hatred, or hurl at him 
by laying of wait, that he die ; 

21 Or in enmity finite him with his hand, that he 
die : he that fmote him, fhall finely be put to deadi ; 
for he is a murderer : the revenger of blood fliall flay 
the murderer when he meeteth him.

judgments : 

25 And the congregation fliall deliver the flayer out

Lord to give the- inheritance of Zelophehad our

inheritance be taken from the inheritance of our

inheritance of the tribe whereunto they are received. - T 
fo fhall their inheritance be taken away from the in- 
heritance of the tribe of our fathers. 

5 H And Mofes commanded the children of Ifrael, 
according to the word of the Lord, faying, The tribe 
of the fons of Jofeph hath faid well. 

6 This is. the thing which the Lord doth com- 
mand concerning the daughters of Zelophehad, faying, 

Let them t marry to whom they think beil ; b only to * "*•**' 
the family of the tribe of their father ihall they marry ; b Toi^t 1 9- 

7 So ihall not the inheritance of the children of 
Ifrael remove from tribe to tribe ; for every one . of 
the children of Ifrael fhall t keep himfelf to the in-

8 And every daughter , that poiieffetli an inheritance 
in any tribe of the children of Ifrael, fhall be wife unto 
one of the family of the tribe of her father, that the 
children of Ifrael may enjoy every man the inheritance 
of his fathers. 

9 Neither fhallthe inheritance remove from one tribe 
to another tribe ; but every one of the tribes of the chil-

11 (The Lord God of your fathers, make you a 
thoufand times fo many more as ye are, and blefs 
you, as he hath promifed you !) 

12 How can 1 mylelf alone bear your cumbrance, 
and your burden, and your ftrife ? 

13 t Take ye wife men, and underftanding, and 
known among your tribes, and I will make them 
rulers over you. 

•14 And ye anfwered me, and faid, The thing which 
thou haftfpoken, is good for us to do. 

15 So I took the chief of your tribes, wife men, and 
known, and f made them heads over you, captains 
over thouiands, and captains over hundreds, and cap- 
tains over fifties, and captains over tens, and officers 
among your tribes. 

16 And I charged your judges at that time, faying, 
Hear the causes between your brethren, and c judge- 
righteoufly between every man and his brother, and 
the ftranger that is with him. 

17 d Ye (hall not trefpe&perfons in judgment ; but 
ye mall hear the fraall as well as the great ; ye fhall 
not be afraid of the face of man, for the judgment is 
God's : and the caufethat is too hard for you, bring 
it unto me, and I will hear it. 

18 And I commanded you at that time all the 
things which ye mould do. 

19 If And when we departed from Horeb, we went 
through all that great and terrible wildernefs, which 
ye faw by the way of the mountain of the Amorites, 
as the Lor d our God commanded us ; and we came 
to Kadefhbarnea. 

20 And I faid unto you, Ye are come unto the 
mountain of the Amorites, which the Lord our God 
doth give unto us, 

21 Behold, the Lord thy God hath fet the land 
before thee : go up ««cfpoflefs it, as the Lord pod 
of thy fathers hath faid unto thee ; fear not, neither 
be difcouraged. 

22 If And ye came near unto me every one of you, 
and faid, We will lend men before us, and they lhall 
fearchus outthe land, and bring us word again, by what 
way we mult go up, and into what cities we mall come. 
• 23 And the Ikying pleafed me well : and e I took 
twelve men of you, one of a tribe. 

24 And' they turned, and went up into the mountain, 
and came unto the valley of Efhcol,andfearched it out. 

25 And they took of the fruit of the land in their 
hands, and brought it down unto us, and brought us 
word again, and faid. It is a good land which the 
Lord our God doth give us. 

26 Notwithstanding, ye would not go up, but rebel- 
led againftthe commandment of the Lord your God. 

27 And ye murmured in your tents, and faid, Be- 
caufethe Lord hated us, he hath brought us forth 
out of the land of Egypt, to deliver us into the hand 
of the Amorites, to deftroy us. 

w&.meiied. 28 Whither lhall we go up ? our brethren have f 
difcouraged our heart, laying, The people is greater 
and taller than we ; the cities are great, and walled up 
to heaven, and, moreover, we have feen the fons of 
the & Anakims there. 

29 Then I faid unto you, Dread not, neither be 
afraid of them. 

30 The Lord your God which goeth before you, 
he lhall fight for you, according to all that he did for 
you in Egypt before your eyes.

31 And in the wildemefs, where thou haft feen 
how that theLoRD thy God bare thee, as a man doth 
bear his fon in all the way that ye went, until ye came 
into this place. 

32 Yet in this thing ye did not believe the Lord 
your God, 

33 h Who went in the way before you, to fearch J E j^ 
you out a place to pitch your tents in, in fire by night, 

to Ihew you by what way ye mould go, and in a cloud 
by day. 

34 If And the Lord heard the voice of your words, 
and was wroth,, and fvvare, faying, 

35 i Surely there lhall not one of thefe men of this *. N ™*' 
evil generation fee that good land, which I fware to 

give unto your fathers, 

36 Save Caleb the fon of Jephunneh ; he fhall fee 
it, and to him will I give the land that he hath trodden 
upon, and to his children, becaufe he hath f wholly 
followed the Lord. 

37 k Alfo the Lord was angry with me for your 
fakes, faying, Thou alfo fhalt not go in thither : 

38 Art Jofhua the fon of Nun, which ftandeth |*< 2 £ 
before thee, he fhall go in thither : encourage him ; 

for he fhall caufe Ifrael to inherit it. 

39 Moreover, your little Ones, which ye faid fhould 
be a prey, and your children, which in that day had 
no knowledge between good and evil j they fhall go in 
thither, and unto them will I give it ; and they mall 
polfefs it. 

40 But as for you, turn ye, and take your journey 
into the wildernefs, by the way of the Red fea. 

41 Then ye anfwered and faid unto me, * We hare 
finned againft the Lord, we will go up and fight, ac- 
cording to all that the Lord our God commanded us. 
And when ye had girded on every man his weapons 
of war, ye were ready to go up into the hilh 

42 And the Lord faid unto me, Say unto them, 
Go not up, neither fight, for I am not among you ; 
left ye be fmitten before your enemies. 

43 So I fpake unto you, and ye would not hear, 
but rebelled againft the commandment of tke Lord, 
and t went prefumptuoufly up into the hill. 

44 And the Amorites, which dwelt in that moun- 
tain, came out againft you, and chafed you, as bees 
do, and deltroyed you in Seir, even unto Hormah. 

45 And ye returned and wept before the Lord ; 
but the Lord would not hearken to your voice, nor 
give ear unto you, 

46 So ye abode in Kadedi many days, according 
unto the days that ye abode there.

7 For die Lord thy God hath bleffed thee in all the

this great wildernefs : thefe forty years the Lord thy 
God hath been with thee ; thou hall lacked nothing. _ 

8 And when we palled by from our brethren, the chil- 
dren of Efau which dwelt in Seir, through the way of 
the plain from Elath, and from Eziongaber, we turn- 
ed, and palled by the way of the wildernefs of Moab. 

9 II And the Lord faid unto me, || Diitrefs not the 
^""'^"^•Moabites, neither contend with them in battle; for 

I will not give thee of their land for a poffefiion, be- 
caufe I have given Ar unto the children of Lot for a 
poffefiion. 

10 The Emims dwelt therein in times paft, a peo- 
ple great, and many, and tall as the Anakims ; 

11 Which alfo were accounted giants, as the Ana- 
kims ; but the Moabites call them Emims. 

12 b The Horims alfo dwelt in Seir before time, 
but the children of Efau f fucceeded them, when they 
had deltroyed them from before them, and dwelt in 
their || Head, as Ifrael did unto the land of his poffefiion, 
which the Lord gave unto them. 

13 Now 7 rife up, said I, and get you over c the 

II brook Zered : and we went over die brook Zered. 

14 And the fpace in which w T e came from Kadelli- 
barnea, until we were come over the brook Zered, 
%vas thirty and eight years ; until all the generation of 
the men of war were walled out from among the holt, 
as the Lokd fware unto them. 

15 For indeed the hand of the Lord was againft 
them, to deitroy them from among the holt, until they 
were conliimed. 

16 If So it came to pafs, when all the men of war 
were confnmed and dead from among the people, 

17 That the Lord fpake unto me, faying, 

18 Thou art to pals over through Ar, the coaft of 
Moab, this day : 

19 And when thou comelt nigh over againft the 
children of Amnion, diftrefs them not, nor meddle 
with them : for I will not give thee of the land of the 
children of Amnion any poffefiion, becaufe I have 
given it unto the children of hot for a poffefiion. 

20 (That alfo was accounted a land of giants : 
giants dwelt therein in old time, and the Ammonites 
call them Zamzummims ; 

21 A people great, and many, and tall as the Ana- 
kims ; but the Lord deilroyed them before them, 
and they fucceeded them, and dwelt in their Head ; 

22 As he did to the children of Efau which dwelt 
in Seir, v. hen he deilroyed the Horims from before 
them, and they fucceeded them, and dwell in their 
Head, even unto this day : 

23 And the Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, even 
unto Azzah, the Caphtorims, which came forth out 
of Caphtor, deilroyed them, and dwelt in their Head.) 

24 TFRife ye up, take your journey, andpafs over

and the fear of thee, upon the nations that are under j«i. 
the whole heaven, who fhall hear report of thee, and 

[hail tremble., and be in anguim becaufe of thee. 

26 And I lent meflengers out of the wildernefs of 
Kedemothunto Sihon king ofHefhbon, with words 
of peace, faying, 

27 d Let me pafs through thy land : I will go along d n^km 
by the highway ; 1 will neither turn unto the right *'

28 Thou fhalt fell me meat for money, that I may

30 But Sihon king of Helhbon would not let us pafs 
by him : for the Lord thy God hardened his fpirit, 
and made his heart obflinate, that he might deliver 
him into thy hand, as appeareth this day. 

31 And the Lord laid unto me, Behold, I have 
begun to give Sihon and his land before thee : begin 
to poffefs, that thou mayeft inherit his land. 

32 e Then Sihon came out againil us, he and all his 
people, to fight at Jahaz. 

33 And the Lord our God delivered him before 
us, and wefmote him, and his fons, and all his people.

35 Only the cattle we took for a prey unto our- %f" ttic

36 From Aroer, which is by the brink of the river 
of Arnon, and from the city that is by the river, even 
unto Gilead, there was not one city too ftrong for 
us : the Lord our God delivered all unto us. 

37 Only unto the land of the children ofAmmon 
thou carneft not, nor unto any place of the river Jab-

11 For only Og king of Baihan remained oi the 
remnant of giants ; behold, his bedftead was a bedftead 
of iron : is it not in Rabbath of the children of Am- 
nion ? nine cubits was the length thereof, and four 
cubits the breadth of it, after the cubit of a man. 

12 U And this land, which we poffeffed at that time, 
from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, and half 
mount Gilead, and d the cities thereof, gave I unto the 
Reubenites, and to the Gadites. 

13 And the reft of Gilead, and all Baihan, being the 
kingdom of Og, gave I unto the half tribe of Manaf- 
feh ; all the region of Argob, with all Baihan, which 
was called the land of giants. 

14 Jair the fon of Manaffeh, took all the country of 
Argob, unto the coafts of Geihuri and Maachathi, 
and e called them after his own name, Baihanhavoth- 
jair, unto this day. 

15 And I gave Gilead unto Machir. 

16 And unto the Reubenites, and unto the Gadites, 
I gave from Gilead, even unto the river Arnon, half 
the valley, and the border, even unto the river Jabbok, 
which is the border of the children of Amnion ; 

17 The plain alio, and Jordan, and the coaft thereof, 
from Chinnereth, even unto the fea of the plain, even 

1 or, under the fait fea, II under Aihdothpifgah eaftward.

The Lord your God hath given you this land to pof- 
fefs it : f ye ihall pafs over armed before your brethren, 
,/the children of Ilrael, all that are 1" meet for the war. 

19 But your wives, and your little ones, and your 
cattle, (for I know that ye have much cattle,) ihall 
abide in your cities which I have given you, 

20 Until the Lord have given reil unto your breth-

land which the Lord your God hath given them be-

CHAP. IV. 

1 An exhortation to obedience, Csfc. 41 Moses appoint- 
eth the three cities of refuge on the east side of Jordan. 

NO W, therefore, hearken, O Ifrael, unto the ftat- 
utes, and unto the judgments, which I teach you, 
for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and poifefs the 
land which the Lord God of your fathers giveth you. 

2 a Ye ihall not add unto the word which I com- a cha P- 
mand you, neither ihall ye diminilh aught from it, that 
ye may keep the commandments of the Lord your 
God, Avhich I command you. 

3 Your eyes have ieen what the Lord did becaufe of 
b Baalpeor : for all the men that followed Baalpeor, the 
Lord thy God hath deftroyed them from among you. 

4 But ye that did cleave unto the Lord your God 
are alive every one of you this day. 

5 Behold , I have taught you ftatutes and judgments, 
even as the Lord my God commanded me, that ye 
mould do fo in the land whither ye go to poifefs it. 

6 Keep, therefore, and do them ; for this is your wif- 
dom and your underftanding in the light of the nations, 
which ihall hear all thefe ftatutes, and fay, Surely this 
great nation is a wife and underftanding people. 

7 For what nation is there so great, who hathGod so 
nigh unto them, as the Lord our God is in all things 
that we call upon him for ? 

8 And what nation is there so great, that hath ftat- 
utes, and judgments so righteous as all this law, which 
I fet before you this day ? 

9 Only take heed to thyfelf, and keep thy foul dili- 
gently, left thou forget the things which thine eyes 
have feen, and left they depart from thy heart all the 
days of thy life ; but teach them thy ions, and thy 
ions' ions ; > 

10 Specially the day that thou ftoodeft before the 
Lord thy Ged in Horeb, when the Lord laid unto 
me, Gather me the people together, and I will make 
them hear my -words, that they may learn to fear me 
all the days that they ihall live upon the earth, and that 
they may teach their children. 

1 1 And ye came near, and flood under the mountain, 
and the c mountain burned Avith fire unto the t midft of f/fs .' 1 ' 
heaven, with darknefs, clouds, and thick darknefs. 

12 And the Lord ipake unto you out of the midft 
of the fire : ye heard the voice of the words, but law 
no iimilitude ; f only ye heard a Voice. 

13 And he declared unto you his covenant, which 
he commanded you to perform, even ten command- 
ments ; and he wrote them upon two tables of ftonc. 

14 And the Lord commanded me at that time, to 
teach you ftatutes and judgments, that ye might do 
them in the land whither ye go over to poflefs it.

16 Left ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a grav-

male or female ; 

17 The likenefs of any bead that is on the earth, the 
likenefs of any winged foul that flieth in the air, 

18 The likenefs of any thing that creepeth on the 
ground, the likenefs of any fifh that is in the waters 
beneath the earth : 

19 And left thou lift up thine eyes unto heaven, and 
when thou feeft the fun, and the moon, and the ftars, 
even all the hoft of heaven, ihouldeft be driven to 
worfhip them, and fervethem, which the Lord thy 
God hath || divided unto all nations under the whole 
heaven. 

20 But the Lord hath taken you, and brought you 
forth out of the iron furnace, even out of Egypt, to be 
unto him a people of inheritance, as ye art this day. 

21 Furthermore, the Lord was angry with me for 
your fakes, and {'ware that I Ihould not go over Jordan, 
and that I Ihould not go in unto that good land, which 
the Lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance : 

22 But I muft die in this Land ; I muft not go over 
Jordan : but ye fhall go over, and poffefs that good 
land. 

23 Take heed unto yourfelves, left ye forget the 
covenant of the Lord your God, which he made 
with you, and make you a graven image, or the like- 
nefs of any thing, which the Lord thy God hath for- 
bidden thee. 

24 For a the Lord thy God is a confuming fire, 
even a jealous God. 

25 1f When thou ihalt-heget children, and children's 
children, and ye fhall have remained long in the land, 
and fhall corrupt your selves, and make a graven image, 
or the likenefs of any thing, and fhall do evil in die fight 
of the Lord thy God, to provoke him to anger ; 

26 I call heaven and earth to witnefs againft you this 
day, that ye fhall foon utterly perifh from off the land 
whereunto ye go over Jordan to poffefs it ; ye fhall not 
prolong your days upon it, but fhall utterly be deflroyed. 

27 And the Lord fhall fcatter you among the na- 
tions, and ye fhall be left few in number among the 
heathen, whither the Lob d fhall lead you. 

28 And there ye fhail ferve gods, the work of men's 
hands, wood and ftone, which neither fee, nor hear, 
nor eat, nor frnell. t 

29 But if from thence thou fhalt feek the Lord : 
thy God, thou fhalt find him, if thou feek him with all 
thy heart, and with all thy foul. 

30 When thou art in tribulation, and all thefe 
things t are come upon thee, even in the latter days, 
if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and fhalt be obedi- 
ent unto his voice, 

31 (For the Lord thy God is a merciful God,") he 
will not forfake thee, neither deftroy thee, nor forget 
the covenant of thy fathers, which he fware unto them. 

32 If For afk now of the days that are pall, which 
were before thee, fince the day that God created man 
upon the earth ; and. ask from the one fide of heaven 
unto the other, whether there hath been any such thing 
as this great thing is, or hath been heard like it ? 

33 Did ever people hear the voice of God fpeaking 
out of the midft of the fire, as thou haft heard, and live . ? 

34 Or hath God allayed to go and take him a nation 



from the midft of another nation, by temptations, by 

war., and by a mighty 



figns, and by wonders, and by 

hand, and by aftretched out arm, and by great terrors, 
according to all that the Lord your God did for you 
in Egypt before your eyes ? 

35 Unto thee it was fhe wed, that thou mighteft know 
that the Lord he is God ; there z'snone eife belide him. 

36 Out of heaven he made thee to hear his voice 
that he might inftrucl thee :; and upon earth he fliew- 
edthee his great fire ; and thouheardeit his words 
out of the midft of the fire. 

37 And .became he -loved thy fathers, therefore he 
chofe their feed after them, and brought thee out in 
his fight with his mighty power out of Egypt : 

38 To drive out nations from before thee, greater 
and mightier than thou art, to bring thee in, to give 
thee their land for an inheritance, as it is this day. 

39 Know, therefore, this day, and confider it in thirte 
heart, that the Lord he is God in heaven above, and 
upon the earth beneath : there is none elfe. 

40 Thou fhalt keep, therefore, his ftatutes, and his 
commandments, which I command thee this day, that 
it may go well with thee, and with thy children after 
thee, and that thou mayeft prolong thy days upon the 
earth, which the Lord thy God giveth thee, for ever. 

41 f[ Then Mofes fevered three cities on this fide 
Jordan, toward the funriiing ; 

_ 42. That the flayer might flee thither, which fhoukl 
kill his neighbour unawares, and hated him not in times 
paft ; and that, fleeing unto one of thefe cities, he 
might live : 

43 Namely, e Bezer in the wildernefs, in the plaift ejosu.^ % 
country of the Reubenites ; and Ramoth in Gilead of 

the Gadites ; and Golan in Bafhan of the Manaflites. 

44 U And this is the law, which Mofes fet before the 
children of Ifrael : 

45 Thefe are the teftimonies, and the flatutes, and 
the judgments, which Mofes fpake unto the children 
.of Ifrael, after they came forth out of Egypt, 

46 On this fide Jordan, hi the valley over againft 
Bethpeor, in the land of Sihon king of the Ariiorites, 
who dwelt at Hefhbon, whom Mofes and the chil- 
dren of Ifrael f fmote, after they were come forth out 
of Egypt : 

m 47 And they poffeffed his land, and the land = of Og 
king of Bafhan, two kings of the Amorites, which 
were on this fide Jordan, toward the funrifing : 

48 From Aroer, which is by the bank of the river

4 The Lord talked with you face to face in the

5 (I Hood- between the Lord and you at that time, 
to fhew you the word of the Lord : for ye were 
, a [raid by reafon of the fire, and went not up into the

6 1[ b 1 am the Lord thy God, which brought thee 
oiit of the land of Egypt, from the houle of f bon-

7 Thou fhalt have none other godehefore me. 

8 Thou fhalt not make thee any graven image, or 
any likenefs of any thing that is in heaven above, or 
that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the -waters 
beneath the earth : . . •> 

9 Thou lhalt not bow down thyfelf unto them, nor 
fervethem : fori the Lord thy God am a jealous 
God,. Minting the iniquity of the fathers- upon the 
children,, unto the third and fourth generation of them 
that hate me - % 

10, d And fhewing mercy unto thoufands of them 
that love me, and keep my commandments. 

11 Thou lhalt not take the name of the Lord thy 
God in vain : for the Lord will not hold him guiltlefs 
that taketh his name in vain. 

12 Keep the fabbath day to fanclify it, as the Lord 
thy God hath commanded thee. 

13 Six days thou lhalt labour, and do all thy work ; 

14 But the ftventh day is the e fabbath of the Lord 
thy God : in it thou fhalt not do any work, thou, nor 
thy fon, nor thy daughter, nor thy manfervant, nor 
thy maidfervant', nor thine ox, nor thine afs, nor any 
of thy cattle, nor thy Granger that is within thy gates ; 
that thy manfervant and thy maidfervant may rell as 
well as thou.. 

15 And remember that thou waft a fervant in the 
land of Egypt, and that the Lord thy God brought 
thee out thence, through a mighty hand, and by a 
ftretched out arm ; therefore die Lord thy God com- 
manded thee to keep the fabbath day. 

16 IT Honour thy father and thy mother, as the 
Lord thy God hath commanded thee ; that thy days 
may be prolonged, and" that it may go well with thee, 
in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee. 

17 f Thou fhalt not kill. 

18 s Neither fhalt thou commit adultery. 

19 h Neither fhalt thou fleal. 

20 Neither fhalt thou bear falfe witnefs againfl thy

neither fhalt thou covet thy neighbour's houfe, his 
field, or his manfervant, or his maidfervant, his ox, 
or his afs, or any thing that is thy neighbour's.. 

22 H Thefe words the Lord fpake unto all your 
affembly in the mount, out of the midft of the fire of 
the cloud, and of the thick darknefs, with a great 
voice ; and he added no more : and he wrote them in 
two tables of flone, and delivered them unto me. 

23 And it came to pafs, when ye heard the voice 
out of the midft of the darknefs, (far the mountain did 
burn with fire,) that ye came near unto me, even all 
the heads of your tribes, and your elders ;

28 And the Lord heard the voice of your words, 
when ye fpake unto me ; and the Lord faid unto me, 
I have heard the voice of the words of this people, 
which they have fpoken unto thee : they have well 
faid all that they have fpoken. 

29 O that there were fuch an heart in them, that 
they would fear me, and keep all my commandments

NOW thefe are the commandments, the ftatutea,

11 Thou flialt therefore keep the commandments, 
and the ftatutes, and the judgments, which I command 
thee this clay, to do them. 

12 II Wherefore it fhall come to pafs, f if ye heark^ 
en to thefe judgments, and keep and do them, that 
the Lord thy God fhall keep unto thee the covenant 
and the mercy which he fware unto thy fathers : 

13 And he will love thee, and blefs thee, and mul- 
tiply thee : he will alfo blefs the fruit of thy womb, 
and the fruit of dry land, thy corn, and thy wine, and 
thine oil, the increafe of thy kine, and the flocks of thy 
fheep in the land which he fware unto thy fathers to 
give thee. 

14 Thou flialt be bleffed above all people : e there 
fhall not be male or female barren among you, or 
among your cattle. 

15 And the Lord will take away from diee all 
ficknefs, and will put none of the f evil difeafes of 
Egypt, which thou knoweft, upon thee ; - but will lay 
them upon all them that hate thee. 

16 And thou flialt confume all the people which 
the Lord thy God fhall deliver thee ; thine eye fhall 
have no pity upon them : neither fhalt thou ferve their 
gods ; for that will be s a fnare unto thee. 

17 If thou flialt fay in thine heart, Thefe nations 
are more than I, how can I difpoffefs them ? 

18 Thou flialt not be afraid of them ; but fhalt well 
remember what the Lord thy God did unto Pharaoh 
and unto all Egypt ; 

19 The great temptations which thine eyes faw, 
and the figns, and the wonders, and the mighty hand, 
and the ftretched out arm, whereby the Lord thy 
God brought thee out ; fo fhall the Lord thy God 
do unto all the people of whom thou art afraid. 

20 h Moreover, the Lord thy God will fend the 
hornet among them, until they that are left, and hide 
themfelves from thee, be deftroyed, 

21 Thou fhalt not be affrighted at them : for the

Lord thy God led thee thefe forty years in the wil-

what was in thine heart, whether thou wouldeft keep 
his commandments, or no. 

3 And he humbled thee* and fuffered thee to hun-

not, neither did thy fathers know ; that he might

6 Therefore thou flialt keep the commandments of 
the Lord thy God, to walk in his ways , and to fear him . 

7 For the Lord thy God bringeth thee into a good 
land : a land of brooks, of water, of fountains, and

CHAR IX. 

1 Moses dissuadeth them from the opinion of their own 
righteousness, 7 by rehearsing their several rebellions. 

HEAR, O Ifrael ; Thou art topafs over Jordan this 
day, to go in to poffefs nations greater and migh- 
tier than thyfelf, cities great, and fenced up to heaven ; 

_ 2 A people great and tall, a the children of the Ana- a Nmnb. i 3 
kirns, whom thou knoweft* and vf&bdm thou haft 22 28, 
heard say$ Who can ftand before the children of Anak? 

3 Underftand, therefore* this day, that the Lord" 
thy God is he which goeth over before thee ; as a 
b confuming fire, he fhall deftroy them, and he fhall *£?"*■ *-^ 
bring them down before thy face s fo fhalt thou drive Hc r ' " 
them out, and deftroy them quickly, as the Lord 
hath faid unto thee* 

4 Speak not thou in thine heart, after that the Lord 
thy God hath caft them out from before thee, faying, 
For my righteoufnefs the Lord hath brought me in to 
poffefs this land ; butfor the wickednefs of thefe na- 
tions the Lord doth drive them out from before thee. 

5 Not for thy righteoufnefs or for the uprightnefs 
of thine heart, doft thou go to poffefs their land ; but 
for the wickednefs of thefe nations the Lord thy God 
doth drive them out from before thee, and that he 
may perform the word which the Lord fware unto 
thy fathers, Abraham, Ifaac, and Jacob. 

6 Underftand, therefore, that the Lord thy God 
giveth thee not this good land to poffefs it for thy 
righteoufnefs ; for thou art a ftiff necked people. 

7 U Remember, and forget not, how thou provok- 
edft the Lord thy God to wrath in the wildernefs : 
from the day that thou didft depart out of the land of 
Egypt, until ye came unto this place, ye have been 
rebellious againft the LorD< 

8 Alfo in Horeb ye provoked the Lor d to wrath, fo 
thattheLoRD was angry wi t h y o u to have deftroyed you . 

9 When I was gone up into the mount to receive 
the_ tables of ftone, even the tables of the covenant 
which the Lord made with you, then c I abode in J^jS^'A, 
the mount forty days and forty nights ; I neither did 
eat bread nor drink water : 

10 d And the Lord delivered unto me two tables dExod.ji 
of ftone, written with the finger of God ; and on them ' ' 
was written according to all the words which the

Lord fpake with you in the mount, out of the midit 
of the fire, in- the day of the affembly. 

11 And it came to pafs, at the end of forty days 
and forty nights, that die Lord gave me the two 
tables of Hone, even the tables of the covenant.. 
eExod. 327- 12 And the Lord faid unto me, e Arife, get thee 
down quickly from hence ; for thy people, which 
thou halt brought forth out of Egypt, have corrupted 
themselves : they are quickly turned afide out of" the 
way which I commanded them y they have made 
them a molten image. 

13 Furthermore, the Lord fpake unto me, faying, 
I have feen this people, and,behoid, it is a iliff necked 
people : 

14 Let me alone, that I may deftroy them, and blot 
out their name from under heaven ; and I will make 
of thee a nation mightier and greater than they. 

15 So I turned, and came down from the mount, 
and the mount burned with fire : and the two tables 
of the covenant were in my two hands. 

16 And Hooked, and, behold, ye had finned againft 
the Lord your God, and had made you a molten 
calf ; ye had turned aiide quickly out of the way 
which the Lord had commanded you. 

17 And I took the two tables, and call them out of 
my two hands, and brake them before your eyes. 

18 And I fell down before the Lord, as at the firft, 
forty days and forty nights : I did neither eat bread 
nor drink water, becaufe of all your fins which ye 
iinned, in doing wickedly in the light of the Lord, 
to provoke him to-anger. 

19 (For I was afraid of the anger and hot difpleaf- 
ure wherewith the Lord was wroth againft you to 
deftroy you.) But the Lord hearkened- unto me at 
that time alio. 

20 And the Lord was very angry with Aaron to 
have deftroyed him ; and I prayed for Aaron alfo the 
fame time. 

21 And I took your fin, the calf which ye had 
made, and burnt it with fire, and ftamped it, and 
ground it, very fmall, even until it was asfmallas duft ; 
and I calr the dull thereof into the brook that defcended 
out of the mount.

mandment of the Lord your God, and ye believed 
him not, nor hearkened to his voice. 

24 Ye have been rebellious againft the Lord, from 
the day that I knew you. 

25 Thus I fell down before the Lord forty days 
and forty nights, as I fell down at the first; becaufe 
the Lord had laid he would deftroy you. 

26 I prayed, therefore, unto the Lord, and faid, 
O Lord God, deftroy not thy people, and thine 
inheritance, which thou haft redeemed through thy 
greatnefe, which thou haft brought forth out of Egypt 
with a mighty hand. 

27 Remember thy fervants, Abraham, Ifaac, and

1 Hoses proceedeth^ to relate God's mercy in restoring 
the two tables, 6 in continuing the priesthood, 8 and 
in separating the tribe of Levi. 12 An exhortation 
to obedience. 

AT that time die Lord faid unto me , *He w thee two 
tables of ftone like unto the firft, and come up 
unto me intothemount, and make thee an arkofwood. 

2 And I will write on the tables the words that were 
in the firft tables, which thou breakedft, and thou 
ihalt put them in the ark. 

3 And I made an ark of fhittim wood, and hewed 
two tables of ftone like unto the firft, and went up 
into the mount, having the two tables in mine hand. 

4 And he wrote on the tables, according to the firft 
writing, the ten t commandments, which the Lord 
fpake unto you in the mount, out of the midft of the 
fire, in the day of the affembly : and the Lord gave 
them unto me.. 

5 And I turned myfelf, and came down from the 
mount, and put the tables in the ark which I had made; 
and there they be as the Lord commanded me. 

6 If And the children of Ifrael took their journey 
from Beeroth of the children of Jaakan to b Mofera : 
'there Aaron died, and there he was buried ; and Elea- 
zar his fon miniftered in the prieft's office in his ftead. 

7 From thence theyjourneyed unto Gudgodah ;. and 
fromGudgodah to Jotbadi, a land of rivers of waters. 

8 ff At that time the Lord feparated the tribe of 
Levi, to bear the ark of the covenant of the Lord, to 
ftand before the Lord to minifter unto him, and to 
blefs in his name, unto this day. 

9 d Wherefore Levi hath no part nor inheritance 
with his brethren : the Lord is his inheritance 
according as the Lord thy God promifed him. 

10 II And I ftayed in the mount, according to the 
|j firft time, forty days and forty nights ; and the Lord 
hearkened unto me at that time alfo, and the Lord 
would "not deftroy thee.. 

11 And the Lord faid unto me, Arife, f take thy 
journey before the people, that they may go in and 
poffefs the land, which I fware unto their fathers to 
give unto them. 

12 1[ And now, Ifrael, what doth the Lord thy God 
require of thee, but to fear the Lord thy God, to walk 
in all his ways, and to love him, and to ferve theLoRD 
thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy foul, 

13 To keep the commandments of the Lord, and

9 So fhalt thou put away the guilt of innocent blood

6 And the Egyptians evil entreated us, and afflict-

7 And when we cried unto the Lord God of our

affliction, and our labour, and our oppreffton : 

8 And the Lord brou ght us forth out of Egypt with •

58 If thou wilt not obferve to do all the words of 
this law that are written in this book, that thou mayeft

.59 Then the Lord will make thy plagues wonder- 
ful, and the plagues of thy feed, .even great plagues, 
and of long continuance, and fore iickneifes, and of

60 Moreover, he will bring upon thee all die dif-

fhall cleave unto thee :

not written in the book of this law, them will the

there thou fhalt ferve other gods, which neither thou 
nor thy fathers have known, even wood and Hone. 

65 And among thefe nations (halt thou find no eafe, 
neither fhall the fbie of thy foot have reft : but the 
Lord fhall give thee there a trembling heart, and 
failing of eyes, and forrow of mind : 

66 And thy life fhall hang in doubt before thee ; 
and thou fhalt fear day and night, and (halt have none 
affurance of thy life. 

67 In the morning thou fhalt fay, Would God it

Thou fhalt fee it no more again .: and there ye fhall

C H A P. XXX. 

1 Great mercies promised unto the penitent. 11 The 
commandment is of obvious interpretation. 15 Death 
and life are set before the people, 

N D it fhall come to pafs, when all thefe things 
are come upon thee, the bleffing and the curie 
which I have fet before thee, and thou (halt call them 
to mind among all the nations whither the Lord thy 
God hath driven thee. 

2 And lhalt return unto the Lord thy God, and 
fhalt obey his voice, according to all that I command 
thee this day, thou and thy children, with all thine 
heart, and with all thy foul ; 

3 That then the Lord thy God will turn thy cap- 
tivity, and have compaflion upon thee, and will return 
and gather thee from all the nations whither the Lord 
thy God hath fcattered thee. 

Net. i 9- 4 % \iany of thine be driven out unto the outmoft 
parts of heaven, from thence will the Lord thy God 
gather thee, and from thence will he fetch thee. 

5 And the Lord thy God will bring thee into the 
land which thy fathers poflelfed, and thou fhalt poffefs 
it ; and he will do thee good, and multiply thee above 
thy fathers. 

6 And the Lord thy God will circumcife thine 
heart, and the heart of thy feed, to love the Lord thy 
God with all thine heart, and with all thy foul, that 
thou mayeft live. 

7 And the Lord thy God will put all thefe curfes 
upon thine enemies, and on them that hate thee, 
which perfecuted thee. 

8 And thou fhalt return, and obey the voice of the 
Lord, and do all his commandments which I com- 
mand thee this day. 

bthap.23 ii. 9 b And theLoRDthy God will make thee plenteous 
in every work of thine hand, in the fruit of thy body, 
and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy 
land, for good : for the Lord will again rejoice over 
thee for good, as he rejoiced over thy fathers ; 

10 If thou malt hearken unto the voice of the Lord 
thy God, to keep his commandments and his ftatntes, 
which are written in this book of the law, and if thou 
turn unto the Lord thy God with all thine heart, and 
with all thy foul. 

11 If For this commandment, which I command 
thee this day, it is not hidden from thee, neither is it 
fcroff; 

U 




Moses encourageth the people. 

12 c It is not in heaven, that thou fhouldeft fay, 
v\ ho fhall go up for us to heaven, and bring it unto 
us, that we may hear it, and do it ? 

13 Neither is it beyond the fea, that thou fhouldeft 
fay, Who fliall go over the lea for us, and bring it 
unto us, that we may hear it, and do it ? 

14 But the word is very nigh unto thee, in thy 
mouth, and in thy heart, that thou mayeft do it. 

15 Ii See, I have fet before thee this day, life and 
good, and death and evil ; 

16 In that I command thee this day to love the 
Lord thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his 
commandments, and his ftatutes, and his judgments, 
that thou mayeft live and multiply : and the Lord thy 
God fliall blefs thee in the land whither thou goeft to 
poffefs it. 

17 But if thine heart turn away, fo that thou wilt 
not hear, but fhalt be drawn away, and worfhip other 
gods, and ferve them ; 

18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye fliall furely 
periih ; and that yefhafi notprolongyoardays upon the 
land whither thou paffeft over Jordan to go to poffefs it. 

19 d I call heaven and earth to record this day a chap. 426 
againft you, that I haAe let before you life and death, 
bleffing and curling : therefore choofe life, that both 

thou and thy feed may live ; 

20 That thou mayeft love the Lord thy God, and 
that thou mayeft obey his voice, and that thou mayeft 
cleave unto him ; (for he is thy life, and the length 
of thy days ;) that thou mayeft dwell in the land 
which the Lord fware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, 
to Ifaac, and to Jacob, to give them.

1 Moses encourageth the people a?id Joshua : 9 he 
delivereth the law unto the priests, to read it every 
seventh year to the people. 14 Moses and Joshua

people's future apostacy, andgiveth him a song to tes-

24 Moses delivereth the book of the law to the Levites 
to keep, and calleth together the elders and officers. 

AND Mofes wait and fpake thefe words unto all

2 And he faid unto them, I am an hundred and 
twenty years old this day ; I can no more go out and 
come in : alfo the Lord hath faid unto me, a Thou 
lhalt not go over this Jordan. 

3 The Lord thy God, he will go over before thee, 
andht will deftroy thefe nations from before thee,. and 
thou fhalt poflefs them : and Jofhua, he fhall go over 
before thee, b as the Lord hath faid. 

4 And the Lord fliall do unto them, as he did to 
Sihon and to Og, kings of the Amorites, and unto the 
land of them whom he deftroyed. 

5 And c the Lord fliall give them up before your 
face, that ye may do unto them according unto all the 
commandments which I have commanded you.. 

6 Be ftrong, and of a good courage ; fear not, nor 
be afraid of them : for the Lord thy God, he it is

him in the light of all Ifrael, Be Itrong, and of a good

9 IF And Moles wrote this law, and delivered it

of the covenant of the Lord, and unto all the elders

10 And Mofes commanded them, faying, At the 
dcha P . '5 !• end of every feven years, in the folemnity of the d year 

of releafe, in the feaft of tabernacles, 

1 1 When all Ifrael is come to appear before the 
Lord thy God, in the place which he mall choofe, thou 
ihalt read this law before all Ifrael in their hearing. 

12 Gather the people together, men, and women, 
and children, and thy ftranger that is within thy gates, 
that they may hear, and that they may learn, and fear 
the Lord your God, and obferve to do all the words 
of this law ; 

13 And that their children, which have not known 
any thing, may hear, and learn to fear the Lord your 
God, as long as ye live in the land whither ye go over 
Jordan to poffefs it. 

14 II And the Lord faid unto Mofes, Behold, thy 
days approach that thou mull die : call Jolhua, and 
prefent yourfelves in the tabernacle of the congrega- 
tion, that I may give him a charge. And Mofes and 
Jofhua went, and prefented themfelves in the taber- 
nacle of the congregation. 

15 And the Lord appeared in the tabernacle in a 
pillar of a cloud : and the pillar of the cloud Hood over 
the door of the tabernacle. 

16 11 And the Lord faid unto Mofes, Behold, thou 
flialt f lleep, with thy fathers ; and this people will 
rife up, and go a whoring after the gods of the ftran- 
gers of the land whither they go to be among them, 
and will forfake me, and break my covenant which I 
have made with them. 

17 Then my anger mail be kindled againft them in 
that day, and I will forfake them, and I will hide my 
face from them ; and they fhall be devoured^ and 

t neb.find many evils and troubles fhall t befal them ; fo that 

them. ^gy Vv -}n f a y j n t h a t: day, Are not thefe evils come 

upon us, becauie our God is not among us ? 

18 And I will furely hide my face in that day, for 
all the evils which they fhall have wrought, in that 
they are turned unto other gods. 

19 Now, therefore, write ye this fong for you, and 
teach it the children of Ifrael: put it in their mouths, 
that this fong may be a witnefs for me againft the 
children of Ifrael. 

20 For when I fhall have brought them into the 
land which I fware unto their fethers, that floweth 
with milk and honey, and they fhall have eaten, and 
filled themfelves, and waxen fat ; then will they turn 
unto other gods, and ferve them, and provoke me, 
and break my covenant. 

21 And it fhall come to pafs, when many evils and 
troubles are befallen them, that this fong fhall teftify 

t Heb. beforsA againft them as a witnefs ; for it fhall not be forgot- 
ten out of the mouths of their feed : for I know their 

t Heb. do. imagination which they f go about, even now, before 
I have brought them into the land which I fware. 

22 IF Mofes, therefore, wrote this fong the fame day, 
and taught it the children of Ifrael.

fhalt bring the children of Ifrael into the land which 
I fware unto them ; and I will be with thee. 

24 IF And it came -to pafs, when Mofes had made 
an end of writing the words of this law in a book, 
until they were finifhed, 

25 That Mofes commanded the Levites, which 
bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, faying, 

26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the 'fide 
of the ark of the covenant of the Lord your God, that 
it may be there for a witnefs againft thee. 

27 For I know thy rebellion, and thy ftiff neck : 
behold, while I am yet alive with you this day, ye have 
been rebellious againft the Lord ; and how much 
more after my death ? 

28 Gather unto me all the elders of your tribes, and 
your officers, that I may fpeak thefe words in their 
ears, and call heaven and earth to record againft them. 

29 For I know that after my death, ye will utterly 
corrupt yourselves, and turn afide from the way which 
I have commanded you ; and evil will befal you in 
the latter days ; becaufe ye will do evil in the light of 
the Lord, to provoke him to anger through the work 
of your hands. 

> 30 And Mofes fpake in the ears of all the congrega- 
tion of Ifrael the words of this fong.until they were ended.

and went before the people. 

7 IT And the Lord faid unto Jofhua, This day will 
I begin to magnify thee in the fight of all Ifrael, that 

they may know that b as I was with Mofes, so I will bchap ' ' 
be with thee. 

8 And thou fhalt command the priefts that bear the 
ark of the covenant, faying, When ye are come to 
the brink of the water of Jordan, ye fhail ftand ftill in

9 II And Jofhua faid unto the children of Ifrael, Come 
hither, and hear the words of the Lord your God. 

10 And Jofhua faid, Hereby ye fhall know that the 
living God is among you, and that he will without fail 
drive out from before you the Canaanites, and the 
Hittites, and the Hivites, and the Perizzites, and the 
Girgafhites, and the Amorites, and the Jebufites. 

11 Behold, the ark of the covenant of the Lord of 
all the earth, paffeth over before you into Jordan. 

12 Now, therefore, take you twelve men out of the 
tribes of Ifrael, out of every tribe a man. 

13 And it fhall come to pafs, as foon as the foles of 
the feet of the priefts that bear the ark of the Lord, 
the Lord of all the earth, fhall reft in the waters of 
Jordan, that the waters of Jordan fhall be cut off from 
the waters that come down from above ; and they 
c fhall ftand upon an heap. 

14 If And it came to pafs, when the people removed 
from their tents to pafs over Jordan, and the priefts 
bearing the d ark of the covenant before the people ; aA&sms. 

15 And as they that bare the ark were come unto 
Jordan, and the feet of the priefts that bare the ark 

were dipped in the brim of the water, (for e Jordan "«*»»; 
overfloweth all his banks all the time of harveft,) eL-SsL 

16 That the waters which came down from above, 24 26 ' 
ftood and rofc up upon an heap, very far from the city 
Adam, that is befide Zaretan : and thofe that came 
down toward the fea of the plain, even the fait fea, fail-

againft Jericho. 

17 And the priefts that bare the ark of the covenant 
of the Lord, ftood firm on dry ground in the midft of 
Jordan ; and all the Ifraelites paffed over on dry ground, 
until all the people were paffed clean over Jordan.

5 And Jofhua faid unto them, Pafs over before the 
ark of the Lord your God into the raidlt of Jordan, 
and take ye up every man of you a ftone upon his 
fhoulder, according unto the number of the tribes of 
the children of Ifrael ; 

6 That this may be a fign among you, that when 
your children afk their fathers f in time to come, fay- 
ing, What mean ye by thefe itones ? 

7 Then ye fhall anfwer them, That the waters of 
Jordan were cut off before the ark of the covenant of 
the Lord ; when it paffed over Jordan, the waters of 
Jordan were cut off : and thefe ftones fhall be for a 
memorial unto the children of Ifrael for ever. 

8 And the children of Ifrael did fo as Jofhua com- 
manded, and took up twelve ftones out of the midft 
of Jordan, as the Lord fpake unto Jofhua, according 
to the number of the tribes of the children of Ifrael, 
and carried them over with them unto the place where 
they lodged, and laid them down there. 

9 H And Jofhua fet up twelve ftones in the midft 
of Jordan, in the place where the feet of the priefts 
which bare the ark of the covenant flood ; and they 
are there unto this day. 

10 If For the priefts which bare the ark flood in the 
midfl of Jordan, until every thing was finifhed that the 
Lord commanded Jofhua to fpeak unto the people, 
according to all that Mofes commanded Jofhua : and 
the people halted and paffed over. 

1 1 And it came to pafs, when all the people were 
clean paffed over, that the ark of the Lord paffed over, 
and the priefts, in the pretence of the people. 

12 And c the children of Reuben, and the children 
of Gad, and half the tribe of Manaffeh, paffed over 
armed before the children of Ifrael, as Mofes fpake 
unto them. 

13 About forty thoufand || prepared for war paffed 
over before the Lord unto battle, to the plains of 
Jericho. 

14 If On that day the Lord magnified Jofhua in 
the light of all Ifrael ; and they feared him, as they 
feared Mofes, all the days of his life. 

15 If And the Lord fpake unto Jofhua, faying, 

16 Command the priefts that bear the ark of the 
teftimony, that they come up out of Jordan. 

17 Jofhua, therefore, commanded the priefls, fay- 
ing, Come ye up out of Jordan. 

18 And it came to pafs, when the priefls, that bare 
the ark of the covenant of the Lord, were come up 
out of the midfl of Jordan, and the foles of the priefts' 
feet were f lifted up unto the dry land, that the waters 
of Jordan returned unto their place, and t flowed over 
all his batiks, as they did before. 

19 If And the people came up out of Jordan on the 
tenth day of the firft month, and encamped in Gilgal, 
in the eaft border of Jericho. 

20 If And thofe twelve ftones, which they took out 
of Jordan, did Jofhua pitch in Gilgal. 

21 And he fpake unto the children of Ifrael, faying, 
When your children fhall afk their fathers t in time 
to come, faying, What mean thefe ftones ? 

22 Then ye fhall let your children know, faying, 
Ifrael came over this Jordan on dry land. 

23 For the Lord your God dried up the waters of 
Jordan from before you, until ye were paffed over, as 
the Lord your God did to the Red fea, d which he 
dried up from before us, until we were gone over ;

12 Manna ceaseth, &c. 

AN D it came to pafs, when all the kings of the 
Amorites, which were on the fide of Jordan 
weft ward-, and all the kings of the Canaanites, which 
were by the fea, heard that the Lord had dried up 
the waters of Jordan from before the children of Ifrael, 
until we were palled over, that their heart melted ; 
neither was there fpirit in them any more, becaufe of 
the children of Ifrael. 

2 If At that time the Lord faid unto Jofhua, Make 
thee || a fharp knives, and circumcife again the chil- 
dren of Ifrael the fecond time. 

3 And Jofhua made him fharp knives, and circum- 
cifed the children of Ifrael at || the hill of the forefkins. 

4 And this is the caufe why Jofhua did circumcife : 
All the people that came out of Egypt that were males, 
even all the men of war, died in the wildernefs by the 
way, after they came out of Egypt. 

5 Now all the people that came out, were circum- 
cifed ; but all the people that were born in the wilder- 
nefs by the way, as they came forth out of Egypt, 
them they had not circumcifed. 

6 For the children of Ifrael walked forty years in 
the wildernefs, till all the people that were men of war 
which came out of Egypt were confumed, becaufe they 
obeyed not the voice of the Lord : unto whom the 
Lord fware that b he would not fhew them the land £ Numb. 14 
which the Lord fware unto their fathers that he would 
give us, a land that floweth with milk and honey. 

7 And their children, whom he raifed up in their 
ftead, them Jofhua circumcifed : for they were uncir- 
cumcifed, becaufe they had not circumcifed them by 
the way. 

8 And it came to pafs, f when they had done cir- 
cumcifing all the people, that they abode in their 
places in the camp till they were whole. 

9 And the Lord faid unto Jofhua, This day have 
I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you : 
wherefore the name of the place is called || Gilgal un- 
to this day. 

10 If And the children of Ifrael encamped in Gilgal, 
and kept the paffover on the fourteenth day of Ihe 
month at even in the plains of Jericho. 

11 And they did eat of the old corn of the land on 
the morrow after the paffover, unleavened cakes and 
parched corn in the felf fame day. 

12 If And the manna ceafed on the morrow after 
they had eaten of the old corn of the land : neither 
had the children of Ifrael manna any more ; but they 
did eat of the fruit of the land of Canaan that year. 

13 If And it came to pafs, when Jolhua was by Jeri- 
cho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, 
there flood c a man over againfl him with his fword 
drawn in his hand : and Jolhua went unto him, and 
faid unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adverfaries ? 

14 And he faid, Nay ; but as || captain of the hofl lor.pHnct; 
of the Lord am I now come. And Jofhua fell on his 
face to the earth, and did worfhip, and faid unto him, 
What faith my Lord unto his fervant ?

came in. 

2 And the Lord faid unto Jofhua, See, I have 
given into thine hand Jericho, and the king thereof, 
and the mighty men of valour. 

3 And ye fhall compafs the city, all ye men of war, 
and go round about the city once. Thus fhalt thou 
do fix days. 

4 And feven priefls fhall bear before the ark feven 
trumpets of rams' horns : and the feventh day ye fhall 
compafs the city feven times, and the priefls fhall blow 
with the trumpets. 

5 And it fhall come to pafs, that when they make a 
long blast with the ram's horn, and when ye hear the 
found of the trumpet, all the people fhall lhout with 
a great fhout ; and the wall of the city fhall fall down 

I "*" i> "f ^ at > an ^ ^ e P eo Pl e fh^ afcend up , every man ftraight

6 If And Jofhua the fon of Nun called the priefls, 
and faid unto them, Take up the ark of the covenant, 
and let feven priefls bear feven trumpets of rams' horns 
before the ark of the Lord. 

7 And he faid unto the people, Pafs on, and com- 
pafs the city, and let him that is armed, pafs on before 
the ark of the Lord. 

8 If And it came to pafs, when Jofhua had fpoken 
unto the people, that the feven priefls, bearing the 
feven trumpets of rams' horns, palled on before the 
Lord, and blew with the trumpets : and the ark of 
the covenant of the Lord followed them. 

9 If And the armed men went before the priefls that 
Vl e \osl h ' blew with the trumpets, and the f rereward came 

after the ark, the priests going on, and blowing with 
the trumpets. 

10 And Jofhua had commanded the people, faying, 
tHeb. make Ye fhall not fhout, nor t make any noiie with your 
y tThMdV° voice, neither fhall any word proceed out of your 

mouth , until the day I bidy ou fhout ; then fhall ye fhout. 

11 So the ark of the Lord compaffed the city, 
going about it once : and they came into the camp, 
and lodged in the camp. 

12 If And Jofhua rofe early in the morning, and the 
priefls took up the ark of the Lord. 

13 And feven priefls, bearing feven trumpets of 
ram's horns before the ark of the Lord, went on con- 
tinually, and blew with the trumpets ; and the armed 
men went before them ; but the rereward came after 
the ark of the Lord, the priests going on, and blowing 
with the trumpets. 

14 And the fecond day they compaffed the city 
once, and returned into the camp : fo they did fix days. 

15 And it came to pafs on the feventh day, that they 
rofe early, about the dawning of the day, and com- 
paffed the city after the fame manner feven times : 
enly on that day they compaffed the city feven times. 

16 And it came to pafs, at the feventh time, when 
the priefls blew with the trumpets, Jofhua faid unto

17 If And the city fhall be || accurfed, even it, and 
all that are therein, to the Lord : only Rahab the 
harlot fliall live, fhe and all that are with her in the 
houfe, becaufe a fhe hid the meffengers that we fent. a chap. 2 4. 

18 And ye, in any wife keep yourselves from the 
accurfed thing, left ye make yourselves accurfed when 
ye take of the accurfed thing, and make the camp of 
Ifrael a curfe,. and trouble it. 

19 But all the filver, and gold, and veffels of brafs 
and iron, are t confecrated unto the Lord : they fliall 
come into the treafury of the Lord. 

20 If So the people fhouted when the priests blew 
with the trumpets: and it came to pafs,. when the 
people heard the found of the trumpet, and the people 
fhouted with a great fhout, that b the wall fell down 
f fiat, fo that the people went up into the city, every 
man ftraight before him, and they took the city. 

_ 21 And they utterly deflroyed all that was in the; 
city, both man and woman,, young and old, and ox, 
and fheep, and afs, with the edge of the fvvord. 

22 Tf But Jofhua had faid unto the two men that 
had fpied out the country, Go into the harlot's houfe 
and bring out thence the woman, and all that fhe hath, 
c as. ye fware unto her. 

23 And the young men that were fpies went in, 
and brought out Rahab,, and her father, and her mo- 
ther, and her brethren, and all that fhe had ; and they 
brought out all her t kindred, and left them without t H< *: . 
the camp of Ifrael. *"** 

24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that 
was therein :. only the filver, and the gold, and the 
veffels of brafs and of iron, they put into the treafury 
of the houfe of the Lord. 

25 And Jofhua faved Rahab the harlot alive, and 
her father's houfehold, and all that fhe had ; and fhe 
dwelleth in Ifrael even unto this day ; becaufe fhe hid 
the meffengers which Jofhua fent to fpy out Jericho. 

26 If And Jofhua abjured them at that time, faying, 

d Curfed A? the man before the Lord thatrifeth up ^ Ki -& 
and buildeth this city Jericho :: he fliall lay the foun- ' 3< "

fliall he fet up the gates of it. 

27 So die Lord was with Jofhua ; and his fame was 
noised throughout all the country. 

CHAP. VIL

6 Joshua's complaint : 10 God instructeth him what 
to do. 16 Achan is taken by lot .-19 his confession : 
24 he and all that he had are destroyed in the valley

BUT the children of Ifrael committed a trefpafs in 
the accurfed thing : for a Achan the fon of Carmi, ■ Va2on.Y£ 
the fon of Zabdi, the fon of Zerah, of the tribe of 
Judah, took of the accurfed thing ; and the anger of 
the Lord was kindled againfl the children of Ifrael. 

2 If And Jofhua fent men from Jericho to Ai, which 
is befide Bethaven, on the eafl fide of Bethel, and 
fpake unto them, faying, Go up, and view the coun- 
try. And the men went up and viewed Ai. 

3 And they returned to Jofhua, and faid unto him, 

Let not all the people go up ; but let t about two or t ^- ah: -« 
three thoufand men go up andfmite Ai, andmake not &<£&#? 
all the people to labour thither ; for they are but few, men '

thoufand men ; and they fled before the men of Ai. 

5 And the men of Ai fmote of them about thirty 
and fix men : for they chafed them from before the 
gate even unto Shebarim, and fmote them || in the 
going down : wherefore the hearts of the people melt- 
ed, and became as water. 

6 H And Joihua rent his clothes, and fell to the earth 
upon his face before the ark of the Lord until the 
eventide, he and the elders of Ifrael, and put dull upon 
their heads. 

7 And Joihua faid, Alas ! OLord God, wherefore 
haft thou at all brought this people over Jordan, to 
deliver us into the hand of the Amorites, to deftroy 
us ? Would to God we had been content, and dwelt 
on the other fide Jordan ! 

8 OLord, what (hall I fay, when Ifrael turneth 
tHeb.««c*j. their t backs before their enemies ! 

9 For the Canaanites and all the inhabitants of the 
land, fhall hear of it, and fhall environ us round, and 
cut off our name from the earth : and what wilt thou 
do unto thy great name ? 

10 H And the Lord faid unto Joihua, Get thee up ; 
wherefore f heft thou thus upon thy face ? 

11 Ifrael hath finned, and they have alfo tranfgrefTed 
my covenant which I commanded them : for they have 
even taken of the accurfed thing, and have alfo ftolen, 
and diffembled alfo, and they have put it even among 
their own fluff. 

12 Therefore the children of Ifrael could not ftand 
before their enemies, but turned their backs before 
their enemies, becaufe they were accurfed : neither 
will I be with you any more, except ye deftroy the 
accurfed from among you. 

13 Up, fan&ify the people, and fay, San£lify your- 
felves againft tomorrow ; for thus faith the Lord God 
of Ifrael, There is an accurfed thing in the midft of thee, 

Ifrael ; thou canft not ftand before thine enemies, 
until ye take away the accurfed thing from among you. 

14 In the morning, therefore, ye fhall be brought 
according to your tribes : and it fhall be, that the tribe 
which the Lord taketh fhall come according to the 
families thereof; and the family which the Lord fhall 
take, fhall come by houfeholds ; and the houfehold 
which the Lord fhall take, fhall come man by man. 

15 And it mall be, that he that is taken with the ac- 
curfed thing fhail be burnt Avith fire, he and all that he 
hath ; becaufe he hath tranfgrefTed the covenant of the 
Lord, and becaufe he hath wrought || folly in Ifrael. 

16 II So Jofhua rofe up early in the morning, and 
brought Ifrael by their tribes ; and the tribe of Judah 
was taken ; 

17 And he brought the family of Judah ; and he 
took the family of the Zarhites : and he brought the 
family of the Zarhites man by man ; and Zabdi was 
taken : 

18 And he brought his houfehold man by man ; and 
Achan the fon of Carmi, the fon of Zabdi, the fon of 
Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, was taken. 

19 1 And Joihua faid unto Achan, My fon, give, 

1 pray thee, glory to the Lord God of Ifrael, and 
make confeflion unto him : and tell me now what 
thou haft done ; hide it not from me. 

20 And Achan anfwered Jofhua, and faid, Indeed

f wedge of gold, of fifty fhekels weight, then I coveted 
them, and took them ; and, behold, they are hid in the 
earth, in the midft of my tent, and the filver under it. 

22 So Joihua fent meffengers, and they ran unto 
the tent ; and, behold, it was hid in his tent, and the 
filver under it. 

23 And they took them out of the midft of the tent, 
and brought them unto Jofhua, and unto all the chil-

ment, and the wedge of gold, and his fons, and his 
daughters, and his oxen, and his afles, and hisiheep, 
and his tent, and all that he had ; and they brought 
them unto the valley of Achor. 

25 And Jofhua faid, Why haft thou troubled us ? 
the Lord fhall trouble thee this day. And all Ifrael 
ftoned him with ftones, and burned them with fire, 
after they had ftoned them with ftones. 

26 And they raifed over him a great heap of ftones 
unto thisday. So the Lord turned from the fierce -

was called, The valley of || Achor unto this day.

AND the Lord faid unto Jofhua, a Fear not, nei- *gy%,

7 Then ye fhall rife up from the ambufh, and feize

8 And it fhall be, when ye have taken the city, 
that ye fhall fet the city on fire : according to the com-

11 And all the people, even the people of war that 
were with him, went up, and drew nigh, and came 
before the city, and pitched on the north fide of Ai ; 
now there was a. valley between them and Ai. 

12 And he took about five thoufandmen, and fet 
them to lie in ambufh between Bethel and Ai, on 
the weft fide j| of the city. 

13 And when they had fet the people, evensil the 
holt that iv as on the north of the city, and f their 

bntmvait. liers in wait on the weft of the eity, Jofhua went that 
night into the midft of the valley. 

14 H And it came to pafs, when the king of Ai faw 
it, that they halted and rofe up early, and the men of 
the city went out againft Ifrael to battle, he and all 
his people, at a time appointed, before the plain ; but 
he wift not that there were liers in ambufh againft him 
behind the city.. 

15 And Jofhua and all Ifrael made as if they were 
beaten before them., and fled by the way of the wil- 
dernefs. 

16 And all the people that were in Ai were called 
together to purfue after them : and they purfued after 
Jofhua, and were drawn away from the city. 

17 And there Avas not a man left in Ai or Bethel, 
that went not out after Ifrael : and they left the city 
open, and purfued after Ifrael. 

18 And the Lord laid unto Jofhua, Stretch out the 
fpear that is in thy hand toward Ai ; for I will give 
it into thine hand. And Jofhua ftretched out the fpear 
that he had in his hand toward the city. 

19 And the ambufh arofe quickly out of their place, 
and they ran as foon as he had ftretched out his hand : 
and they entered into the city, and took it, and halted, 
and fet the city on fire. 

20 And when the men of Ai looked behind them, 
they faw , and, behold, the fmoke of the city afcended 

w&hani. up to heaven ; and they had no f power to flee this 
way or that way : and the people that fled to the wil- 
dernefs, turned back upon the purfuers. 

21 And when Jofhua and all Ifrael faw that the am- 
bufh had taken the city, and that the fmoke of the 
city afcended,, then they turned again and flew the 
men of Ai. 

22 And the other iffued out of the city againft them ; 
fo they were in the midft of Ifrael, fome on this fide 
and fome on that fide : and they fmote them, fo that 

4Deut.7 2. they d let none of them remain or efcape. 

23 And.thekmg of Ai they took alive, and brought 
him to Jofhua. 

24 And it came to pafs, when Ifrael had made an 
end of flaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, in 
the wiklernefs wherein they chafed them, and when 
they were all fallen on the edge of the fword until 
they were confumed, that all the Ifraelites returned 
unto Ai, and fmote it with the edge of the fword. 

25 And so-it was that all that fell that day, both of 
teen and women, were twelve thoufand, even all the 
men of Ai. 

2.6 For Jofhua drew not his hand back wherewith 
he ftretched out the fpear, until he had utterly de- 
jfcroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. 

27 £ Only the cattle and the fpoil of that city, Ifrael 
took for a prey unto themfelves, according unto the 

word of tlbe Lore which he f commanded Jofhua.

28 And Jofhua burnt Ai, and made it an heap for 
ever, e ven a defolation unto this day. 

29 And the king of Ai he hanged on a tree until 
even tide : and as foon as the fun was down, Jofnua 
commanded that they fhould take his carcafs down 
from the tree^ and caft it at the entering of the gate 
of the city, and * raife thereon a great heap of ftones ^* p ' 
that remaineth unto this day. 

30 H Then Jofhua built an altar unto the Lord God 
of Ifrael in mount Ebal ; 

3 1 As Mofes, the fervant of the Lord, commanded 
the children of Ifrael, as it is written in the K book of !j c E n°^; 50 
the law of Mofes, an altar of whole ftones, over 
which no man hath lifted up any iron ; and they of- 
fered thereon burnt offerings unto the Lord, and 
facrificed peace offerings. 

32 And he wrote there upon the ftones a copy of 
the law of Mofes, which he wrote in the prefence of 
the children of Ifrael. 

33 And all Ifrael, and their elders, and officers, and 
their judges, ftood on this fide the ark, and on that 
fide, before the priefts the Levites, which bare the ark 
of the covenant of the Lord, as well the ftranger as 
he that was born among them : half of them over 
againft mount Gerizim, and half of them over againft 
mount Ebal ; * as Moles, the fervant of the Lord, 
had commanded before, that they fhould blefs the 
people of Ifrael.. 

34 And afterward he read all the words of the law, 
the bleffings and curlings, according to all that is 
written in the book of the law. 

35 There was not a word of all that Mofes com- 
manded, which Jofhua read not before all the con- 
gregation of Ifrael, k with the women, and the little 
ones, and the ftrangers that f were converfant among XSikU.

after they had made a league with them, that they 
heard that they were their neighbours, and that they 
dwelt among them. 

17 And the children of Ifrael journeyed, and came 
unto their cities on the third day. Now their cities 
were Gibeon, and Chephirah, and Beeroth, and Kir- 
jathjearim. 

18 And the children of Ifrael fmote them not, be- 
caufe the princes of the congregation had fworn unto 
them by the Lord God of Ifrael : and all the congre- 
gation murmured againft the princes. 

19 But all the princes faid unto all the congrega- 
tion, We have fworn unto them by the Lord God of 
Ifrael : now therefore we may not touch them. 

20 This we will do to them ; we will even let them 
live, left wrath be upon us, becaufe of the oath which 
we fware unto them.

feemeth good and right unto thee to do unto us, do. 

26 And fo did he unto them, and delivered them 
out of the hand of the children of Ifrael, that they flew

1 Five kings war against Gibeon. 6 The Gibeonites sue 
to Joshua, who rescueth it. 8 God encourageth Joshua, 
andfighteth against the e?iemy with hailstones. 12 
The sun and the moon stand still at the word of Josh- 
ua. 16 The five kings discovered in a cave : 22 they 
are brought forth, scornfidly used, and hanged. 28 
Other seven kings conquered. 40 Joshua returneth 
to Gil gal. 

NOW it came to pafs, when Adonizedek king of 
Jerufalem had heard how Jofhua had taken Ai, 
and had utterly deftroyed it ; a as he had done to Jeri- a cha P . 6::, 
cho and her king, fo he had done to b Ai and her king ; bchap. s 3. 
and how the inhabitants of Gibeon had made peace 
with Ifrael, and were among them ; 

2 That they feared greatly, becaufe Gibeon was a 

great city, as one of the f royal cities, and becaufe it L I f*-J' h '" 
was greater than Ai, and all the men thereof ivere dm" >ng ' 
mighty. 

3 Wherefore, Adonizedek king of Jerufalem, fent 
unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Piram king of 
Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of Lachifh, and unto 
Debir king of Eglon, faying, 

4 Come up unto me, and help me, that we may 
finite Gibeon : for it hath made peace with Jolhua, 
and with the children of Ifrael. 

_ 5 Therefore, the five kings of the Amorites, the 
king of Jerufalem, the king of Hebron, the king of 
Jarmuth, the king of Lachilh, the king of Eglon, 
gathered themfelves together, and went up, they and 
all their hofts, and encamped before Gibeon. and made 
war againft it. 

6 If And the men of Gibeon fent unto Jofhua to the 
camp to Gilgal, faying, Slack not thy hand from thy 
fervants ; come up to us quickly, and fave us, and 
help us : for all the kings of the Amorites that dwell 
in the mountains, are gathered together againft us. 

7 So Jofhua afcendedfrom Gilgal, he, and all the peo- 
ple of war with him, and all the mighty men of valour. 

8 IT And the Lord faid unto Jofhua, fear them 
not : for I have delivered them into thine hand ; there 
fhall not a man of them ftand before daee. 

9 Jofhua, therefore, came unto them fuddenly, and 
went up from Gilgal all night. 

10 And the Lord difcomfited them before Ifrael, 
and flew them with a great flaughter at Gibeon ; and 
chafed them along the way that goedi up to Bethho- 
ron ; and fmote them to Azekah,and unto Makkedah. 

11 And it came to pafs, as they fled from before 
Ifrael, and were in the going clown to Bethhoron, that 
the Lord call down great ftones from heaven upon 
them unto Azekah, and they died : they were more 
which died with hailftones, than they whom the chil- v 
dren of Ifrael flew with the fword. 

12 TI Then fpake Jofhua to the Lord, in the day 
when the Lord delivered up the Amorites before the 
children of Ifrael, and he faid in the fight of Ifrael, 

c Sun, f ftand thou ftill upon Gibeon ; and thou,''ej«j»fc

So the fun flood ftill in the midft of heaven, and hailed 
not to go down about a whole day. 

14 And there was no day like that before it or after 
it, that the Lord hearkened unto the voice of a man : 
for the Lord fought for Ifrael. 

15 If And Jofhua returned, and all Ifrael with him, 
unto the camp to Gilgal. 

16 1f But thefe five kings fled, and hid themfelves 
in a cave at Makkedah. 

17 And it was told Jofhua, faying, The five kings 
are found hid in a cave at Makkedah. 

18 And Jofhua faid, Roll great Hones upon the 
mouth of the cave, and let men by it for to keep them ; 

ID And ftay ye not, topurfue after your enemies, 
and t fmite the hindmofl of them ; fuffer them not to 
enter into their cities : for the Lord your God hath 
delivered them into your hand. 

20 Anclit cametopafs,whenJofhuaandthechildren 
of Ifrael had made an end of flaying them with a very 
great flaughter, till they were confirmed, that the reft 
•which remained of them entered into fenced cities. 

21 And all the people returned to the camp to Joihua 
at Makkedah in peace : none moved his tongue againft 
any of the children of Ifrael. 

22 If Then faid Joihua, Open the mouth of the 
cave, and bring out thofe five kings unto me out of the 
cave. 

23 And they did fo, and brought forth thofe five 
kings unto him out of the cave, the king of Jerufalem, 
the king of Hebron, the king of Jarmuth, the king of 
Lachifh, and the king of Eglon. 

24 And it came to pals, when they brought out 
thofe kings unto Jofhua, that Jofhua called for all the 
men of Ifrael, and faid unto the captains of the men of 
war which went with him, Come near, put your feet 
upon the necks of thefe kings. And they came near, 
and put their feet upon the necks of them. 

25 And Jofhua faid unto them, Fear not, nor be dif- 
mayed ; be flrong, and of good courage : for thus fhall 
the Lord do to all your enemies againft whom ye fight. 

26 And afterward Joihua fmote them, and flew 
them, and hanged them on five trees : and they were 
hanging upon the trees until the evening. 

27 And it came to pafs, at the time of the going 
down of the fun, that Jofhua commanded, and they 

aS^VJ^ 3 ' d t0 °k them down off the trees, and cafl them into the 
cave wherein they had been hid, and laid great flones 
in the cave's mouth, which remain until this very day. 

28 If And that day Jofhua took Makkedah, and 
fmote it with the edgeofthe fword,and the king thereof, 
he utterly deflroyed them, and all the fouls that were 
therein ; he let none remain : and he did to the king 

« chap. 6 21. f Makkedah, £ as he did unto the king of Jericho. 

29 *il Then Jofhua paifed from Makkedah, and all 
Ifrael with him, unto Libnah, and fought againft 
Libnah : 

30 And the Lord delivered it alfo, and the king 
thereof, into the hand of Ifrael ; and he fmote it with 
the edge of the fword, and aM the foulsthat wdr<? there- 
in : he let none remain in it ; but did unto the king 
thereof, as he did unto the king of Jericho. 

3 1 t And Jofhua paffed from Libnah, and all Ifrael 
with him, unto Lachifh, and encamped againft it, and 
fought againft it. 

32 And the Lord delivered Lachifh into the hand 



of Ifrael, which took it on the fecond day, and fmote it 
with the edge of the fword, and all the fouls that were 
therein, according to all that he had done to Libnah. 

33 II Then Horam king of Gezer came up to help 
Lachifh ; and Jofhua fmote him and his people, until 
he had left him none remaining. 

34 And from Lachifh Jofhua paffed unto Eglon,. 
and all Ifrael with him ; and they encamped againft 
it, and fought againft it : 

35 And they took it on that day^ and fmote it with 
the edge of the fword ; and all the fouls that were 
therein he utterly deflroyed that day, according to all 
that he had done to Lachifh. 

36 If And Jofhua went up from Eglon, and all Ifrael 
with him, unto Hebron ; and they fought againft it ; 

37 And they took it and fmote it with the edge of the 
fword, and the king thereof, and all the cities thereof, 
and all the fouls that were therein : he left none re- 
maining, accordingtoall that he had done to Eglon, but 
deflroyed it utterly, and all the fouls that were therein* 

38 If And Jofhua returned, and all Ifrael with him, 
to Debir, and fought againft it. _ 

39 And he took it, and the king thereof, and all the 
cities thereof, and they fmote them with the edge of 
the fword, and utterly deflroyed all the fouls that were 
therein ; he left none remaining : as, he had done to 
Hebron, fo he did to Debir, and to the king thereof, 
as he had done alfo to Libnah, and to her king. 

40 If So Jofhua fmote all the country of the hills, 
and of thefouth, and of the vale, and of the fprings, 
and all their kings : he left none remaining, but utterly 
deflroyed all that breathed, as the Lord God of Ifrael 
f commanded. 

41 And Jofhua fmote them from Kadefhbarnea 
even unto Gaza, and all the country of Gofhen, even 
unto Gibeon. 

42 And all thefe kings, and their land, did Jofhua 
take at one time ; becaufe the Lord God of Ifrael 
fought for Ifrael. 

43 And Jofhua returned, and all Ifrael with him,, 
unto the camp to Gilgal.

until they left them none remaining. 

9 AndJofhua did unto them as the Lord bade 
him ; he houghed their horfes, and burnt their chari- 
ots with fire. 

10 H And Jofhua at that time turned back and took 
Hazor, and fmote the king thereof with the fword : for 
Hazor beforetime was the head of all thole kingdoms. 

1 1 And they fmote all the fouls that were therein 
with the edge of the fword, utterly deftroying them ; 
there was not t any left to breathe : and he burnt 
Hazor with fire. 

12 And all the cities of thofe kings, and all the kings 
of them, did Jofhua take, and fmote them with the 
edge of the fword : and he utterly deftroyed them, 
a as Mofes the fervant of the Lord commanded. 

13 But as for the cities that flood flill t in their 
flrength, Ifrael burned none of them, fave Hazor 
only ; that did Jofhua burn. 

14 And all the fpoil of thefe cities, and the cattle, the 
children of Ifrael took for a prey unto themfelves ; but 
every man they fmote with the edge of the fword, un- 
til they had deftroyed them - r neither left they any to 
breathe. 

15 b As the Lord commanded Mofes his fervant, 
fo c did Mofes command Jofhua, and fo did Jofhua : 
f he left nothing undone of all that the Lord com- 
manded Mofes. 

16 Tf So Jofhua took all that land, the hills, and all 
the fouth country, and all the land of Gofhen, and the 
valley, and the plain, and the mountain of Ifrael, and 
the valley of the fame ; 

17 Even from || the mount Halak,that goeth up to 
Seir, even unto Baalgad in the valley of Lebanon, 
under mount Hermon ; and all their kings he took, 
and fmote them, and flew them. 

18 j| Jofhua made war a long time with all thofe 
kings. 

19 There was not a city that made peace with the 
children of Ifrael, fave d the Hivites, the inhabitants 
of Gibeon ; all other they took in battle : 

20 For it was of the Lord to harden their hearts, 
that they fhould come againft Ifrael in battle, that he 
might deflroy them utterly, and that they might have 
no favour, but that he might deflroy them ; as the 
Lord commanded Mofes. 

21 H And at that time came Jolhua, and cut off the 
Anakims from the mountains ; from Hebron, from 
Debir, from Anab, and from all the mountains of 
Judah, and from all the mountains of Ifrael : Jofhua 
deftroyed them utterly with their cities. 

22 There was none of the Anakims left in the land 
of the children of Ifrael ; only in Gaza, in Gath, and 
in Afhdod, there remained. 

23 H So Jofhua took the whole land, according to 
all that the Lord faid unto Mofes, and Jolhua gave it 
for an inheritance unto Ifrael, c according to their di- 
visions by their tribes* And the land refted from war,

2 Those parts of the land not yet conquered, Joshua is 
comma?ided to divide by lot, the two tribes and half 
being excepted, and the tribe of Levi. 15 The in- 
heritance of Reuben. (22 Balaam slain J 24 The 
inheritance of Gad, 29 and of the half tribe of 
Manasseh. 

NO W Jofhua was old and ftricken in years ; and 
the Lord faid unto him, Thou art old and 
ftricken in years, and there remaineth yet very much 
land f to be poffeffed. 

2 This is the land that yet remaineth ; all the bor- 
ders of the Philiftines, and all Gefhuri, 

3 From Sihor, which is before Egypt, even unto 
the borders of Ekron northward, which is counted 
to the Canaanite : five lords of the Philiftines ; the 
Gazathites, and the Afhdothites, the Efhkalonites, 
the Gittites, and the Ekronites ; alfo the Avites : 

4 From the fouth, all the land of the Canaanites, and 
H Mearah, that is belide the Sidonians, unto Aphek, 
to the borders of the Amorites ; 

5 And the -land of the Giblites, and all Lebanon, 
toward the funriiihg, from Baalgad under mount Her- 
mon, unto the entering into Hamath ; 

6 All the inhabitants of the hill country, frpmJLeb- 
anon unto Mifrephothmaim, and a}F the Sidonia"n-s ; 
them will I drive out from before^ the children of If- 
rael ; only divide thou it by lotunto the Ifraelites for 
an inheritance, as I have commanded thee ; 

7 Now, therefore, divide this land for an inheritance 
unto the nine tribes, and the half tribe of Manaffeh. 

8 With whom the Reubenites and the Gadites 
have received their inheritance, a which Mofes gave 
them, beyond Jordan eaftward, even as Mofes the fer- 
vant of the Lord gave them ; 

9 From Aroer that is upon the bank of the river 
Arnon, and the city that is in the midft. of the river, 
and all the plain of Medeba unto Dibon ; 

10 And all the cities of Sihon king of the Amorites, 
which reigned in Hefhbon, unto the border of the 
children of Amnion ; 

11 And Gilead, and the border of the Gefhurites 
and Maachathites, and all mount Hermon, and all 
Bafhan unto Salcah ; 

12 All the kingdom of Og in Bafhan, which reigned 
in Afhtaroth, and in Edrei, who remained of b the 
remnant of the giants ; for thefe did Mofes fmite, and 
call them out. 

13 Neverthelefs, the children of Ifrael expelled not 
the Gefhurites, nor the Maachathites : but the Ge- 
ihurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Ifrael- 
ites until this day. 

14 Only unto the tribe of Levi he gave none inher- 
itance ; the facrifices of the Lord God of Ifrael made 
by fire are their inheritance, as he faid unto them. 

15 II And Mofes gave unto the tribe of the children 
of Reuben inheritance according to their families : 

16 And their coaft was from Aroer, that is on the 
bank of the river Arnon, and the city that is in the 
midft of the river, and all the plain by Medeba ; 

17 Hefhbon, and all her cities that are in the plain ; 
Dibon, and || Bamothbaal, and Bethbaalmeon, * 



18 And Jahaza, and Kedemoth, and Mephaath, 

19 And Kirjathaim, and Sibmah, and Zarethfha- 
har in the mount of the valley. 

20 And Bethpeor, and c || Afhdbthpifgah, and 
Bethjefhimoth. 

21 And all the cities of the plain, and all the king- 
dom of Sihon king of the Amorites, which reigned in 
Hefhbon, whom Mofes fmote d with the princes of Mi- 
dian, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, 
which were dukes of Sihon, dwelling in the country. 

w 22 If Balaam alfo the fon of Beor, the || foothfayer, |.°. r ' 
did the children of Ifrael flay with the fword, among d 
them that were flain by them. 

23 And the border of the children of Reuben was 
Jordan, and the border thereof. This was the inherit- 
ance of the children of Reuben after their families, 
the cities and the villages thereof. 

24 If And Mofes gave inheritance unto the tribe of 
Gad, even unto the children of Gad, according to 
their families : 

25 And their coaft was Jazar, and all the cities of 
Gilead, and half the land of the children of Ammon, 
unto Aroer that is before Rabbah ; 

26 And from HefhbonuntoRamathmizpeh, and Be- 
tonim ; and from Mahanaim unto the border of Debir ; 

27 And in the valley, Betharam, and Bethnimrah, 
and Succoth, andZaphon, the reft of the kingdom 
of Sihon king of Helhbon, Jordan, and his border, 
even unto the edge of the fea of Chinneroth, on the 
other fide Jordan eaftward. 

28 This is the inheritance of the children of Gad 
after their families, the cities and their villages. 

29 U And Mofes gave inheritance unto the half tribe 
of Manaffeh : and this was the possession of the half 
tribe of the children of Manaffeh, by their families. 

30 And their coaft was from Mahanaim, all Bafhan, 
all the kingdom of Og king of Bafhan, and all the 
towns of Jair, which are in Bafhan, threefcore cities ; 

31 And half Gilead, and Afhtaroth, and- Edrei, cit- 
ies of the kingdom of Og in Bafhan, were pertaining 
unto the children of Machir the fon of Manaffeh, 
even to the one half of the e children of Machir, by 
their families. 

32 Thefe are the countries which Mofes did dis- 
tribute for inheritance in the plains of Moab, on the 
other fide Jordan by Jericho, eaftward. 

33_ f But unto the tribe of Levi, Mofes gave not 
any inheritance; the Lord God of Ifrael was their 
inheritance, sas he faid unto them. 

CHAP. XIV. 
1 The nine tribes and an half are to have their inherit- 
ance by lot. 6 Caleb by privilege obtaineth Hebron. 
AN D thefe are the countries which the children of 
Ifrael inherited in the land of Canaan, a which 
Eleazar the prieft, and Jofhua the fon of Nun, and the 
heads of the fathers of the tribes of the children of 
Ifrael, diftributed for inheritance to them. 

2 b By lot was their inheritance, as the Lord com- 
manded by the hand of Mofes, for the nine tribes, and 
for the half tribe. 

3 For Mofes had given the inheritance of two tribes 
and an half tribe on the other fide Jordan ; but unto 
the Levites he gave none inheritance among them. 

4 For the children of Jofeph were two tribes, Ma- 
naffeh and Ephraim : therefore they gave no part unto 
the Levites in the land, fave cities to dwell in, with

5 c As the Lord commanded Mofes, fo the children 
of Ifrael did, and they divided the land. 

6 IF Then the children of Judah came unto Jofhua 
in Gilgal : and Caleb the fon of Jephunneh the Kene- 
zite laid unto him, Thou knoweft the thing that the 
Lord faid unto Mofes the man of God, concerning 
me and thee, in Kadefhbarnea. 

7 Forty years old was I when Mofes the fervant of 
the Lord fent me from Kadefhbarnea to efpy out the 
land ; and I brought him word again as it was in mine 
heart. 

8 Neverthelefs, my brethren that went up Avith me 
made the heart of the people melt ; but I wholly 
d followed the Lord my God. 

9 And Mofes fware on that day, faying, Surely the 
land whereon thy feet have trodden, fhall be thine in- 
heritance, and thy children's for ever : becaufe thou 
haft wholly followed the Lord my God. 

10 And now, behold, the Lord hath kept me alive, 
as he faid thefe forty and five years, even fince the 
Lord fpake this word unto Mofes, while the children 
of Ifrael t wandered in the wildernefs ; and now, lo, 
I am this day fourfcore and five years old. 

«Eccius. 4 6 9< 11 e As yet I am as ftrong this day as I ivas in the 
day that Mofes fent me : as my ftrength ivas then, 
even fo is my flrength now, for war, both to go out, 
and to come in, 

12 Now, therefore, give me this mountain, where- 
of the Lord fpake in that day ; (for thou heardeft in 
that day how the Anakims were there, and that the 
cities were great and fenced ;) if fo be the Lord will 
be with me, then I fhall be able to drive them out, as 
the Lord faid. 

13 And Jofhua bleffed him, and gave unto Caleb 
the fon of Jephunneh, Hebron for an inheritance. 

I mk' 2"'<6 2 ' 14 f Hebron therefore became the inheritance of 
2 5 ' Caleb the fon of Jephunneh the Kenezite unto this 
clay ; becaufe that he wholly followed the Lord God 
of Ifrael.

uttermoft part of the fouth coaft.

6 And the border went up to Bethhogla, and paffed 
along by the north of Betharabah ; and the border 
went up to the ftone of Bohan the fon of Reuben. 

7 And the border went up toward Debir, from the 
valley of Achor, and fo northward, looking toward 
Gilgal, that is before the going up to Adummim, 
which is on the fouth fide of the river ; and the border 
paffed toward the waters of Enfhemefh, and the go- 
ings out thereof were at c Enrogel. 

8 And the border went up by the valley of the fon 
of Hinnom, unto the fouth fide of the Jebufite, the 
fame is Jerufalem ; and the border went up to the top 
of the mountain that lieth before the valley of Hin- 
nom, weft ward, which is at the end of the valley of 
the giants northward. 

# 9 And the border was drawn from the top of the 
hill unto the fountain of the water of Nephtoah, and 
went out to the cities of mount Ephron ; and the bor- 
der was drawn to Baalah, which is Kirjathjearim. 

10 And the border compaffed from Baalah weft- 
ward unto mount Seir, and paffed along unto the fide 
of mount Jearim, (which is Chefalon,) on the north 
fide, and went down to Betihemefh, and paffed on to 
Timnah. 

1 1 And the border went out unto the fide of Ekron r 
northward ; and the border was drawn to Shicron, 
and paffed along to mount Baalah, and went out unto 
Jabniel ; and the goings out of the border were at the 
fea. 

12 And the weft border was to the great fea, and 
the coaft thereof. This is the coaft of the children of 
Judah round abouL according to their families. 

13 IF And unto Caleb the fon of Jephunneh, he gave 
a part among the children of Judah, according to the 
commandment of the Lord to Jofhua, even d || the 
city of Arba the father of Anak, which city is He- 
bron. 

14 And Caleb drove thence e the three fons of Anak , e judges . i» 
Shefhai, and Ahiman, and Talmai, the children of 
Anak. 

15 And he went up thence to the inhabitants of 
Debir : and the name of Debir before was Kirjath- 
fepher. 

16 IF And Caleb faid, HethatfmitethKirjathfepher, 
and taketh it, to him will I give Achfah my daughter 
to wife. 

17 And Othniel the fon of Kenaz, the brother of : 
Caleb, took it : and he gave him Achlah his daughter 
to wife. 

18 And it came to pafs, as fhe came untolbim, that 
flie moved him to afk of her father a field : and fhe 
lighted off her afs ; and Caleb faid unto her, What

19 "Who anfwered, Give me a blefling ; for thou 
haft given me a fouth land, give me alfo fprings of 
water. And he gave her the upper fprings, and the 
nether fprings. 

20 This is the inheritance of the tribe of the chil-

3 And goeth down weftward to the coaft of Japh-

Gezer ; and the goings out thereof are at the fea. 

4 So the children of Jofeph, Manaffeh and Ephraim, 
took their inheritance. 

5 IT And the border of the children of Ephraim, 
according to their families, was thus; even the border 
of their inheritance on the eaft fide was Atarothaddar, 
unto Bethhoron the upper. 

6 And the border went out toward the fea, to 
Michmethah on the north fide ; and the border went 
about eaftward unto Taanathfhiloh, andpaffed by it 
on the eaft to Janohah % 

7 And it went down from Janohah to Ataroth, and to 
Naarath, and came to Jericho, and went out at Jordan. 

8 The border went out from Tappuah weftward 
unto the river Kanah ; and the goings out thereof 
were at the fea. This is the inheritance of the tribe 
of the children of Ephraim by their families. 

9 And the feparate cities for the children of Eph- 
raim were among the inheritance of the children of 
Manaffeh, all the cities with their villages.

1 The lot of Manasseh : 7 his coast distinguished from 
Ephraim' 's. 12 The Canaanites could not be wholly

(for he was a the firftborn of Jofeph,) to wit, -for *Gei.. 4 i p . 
b Machir, the firftborn of Manaffeh, the father oficS.^,*

ezer, and for the children of Helek, and for the chil- 
dren of Afriel, and for the children of Shechem, and 

for the children of Hepher, and for the children of

7 If And the coaft of Manaffeh was from Afher to 
Michmediah, that lieth before Shechem, and the bor- 
der went along on the right hand unto the inhabitants 
of Entappuah. 

8 Now Manaffeh had the land of Tappuah ; but 
Tappuah on the border of Manaffeh belonged to the 
children of Ephraim : 

9 And the coail defcended unto the I! river Kanah, 
fouthward of the river : thefe cities of Ephraim are 
among the cities of Manaffeh ; the coaft of Manaffeh 
alfo was on the north fide of the river, and the out-

was Manaffeh's, and the fea is his border ; and they 
met together in Afher on the north, and in Iffachar on 
die eaft. 

1 1 And Manaffeh had in Iffachar, and in Afher, 
Bethfhean and her towns, and Ibleam and her towns, 
and the inhabitants of Dor and her towns, and the 
inhabitants of Endor and her towns, and the inhabit- 
ants of Taanach and her towns, and the inhabitants 
of Megiddo and her towns, even three countries. 

12 Yet the children of Manaffeh could not drive 
out the inhabitants ofthote cities ; but the Canaanites 
would dwell in that land. 

13 Yet it came to pafs, when the children of Ifrael 
were waxen ftrong, that they put the Canaanites to 
tribute ; but did not utterly drive them out. 

14 If And the children of Jofeph fpake unto Jofhua, 
faying, Why haft thou given me but one lot and one 
portion to inherit, feeing I am a great people, foraf- 
much as the Lord hath bleffed me hitherto ? 

15 And Jofhua anfwered them, If thou be a great 
people, then get thee up to the wood country, and cut 
down for thyfelf there, in the land of the rerizzites, 
and of the || giants, if mount Ephraim be too narrow 
for thee. 

16 And the children of Jofeph laid, The hill is not 
enough for us ; and all the Canaanites that dwell in 
the land of the valley have chariots of iron, both they 
who are of Bethfhean and her towns, and they who 
are of the valley of Jezreel. 

17 And Jofhua fpake unto the houfe of Jofeph, even 
to Ephraim and to Manaffeh, faying, Thou art a great 
people, and haft great power ; thou fhalt not have one 
lot only : 

18 But the mountain fhall be thine ; for it is a wood, 
and thou fhalt cut it down ; and the outgoings of it 
ihall be thine : for thou ihalt drive out the Canaan- 
ites, though they have iron chariots, and though they 
be ftrong.

3 And Jofhua faid unto the children of Ifrael, How 
long are ye flack to go to poffefs the land which the 
Lord God of your fethers hath given you ? 

4 Give out from among you three men for each 
tribe ; and I will fend them, and they fhall rife and 
go through the land, and defcribe it according to the 
inheritance of them ; and they fhall come again to me. 

5 And they fhall divide it into feven parts : Judah 
fhall abide in their coafts on the fouth, and the houfe 
of Jofeph fhall abide in their coafts on the north. 

6 Ye fhall, therefore, defcribe the land into feven 
parts, and bring the description hither to me that I 
may caft lots for you here before the Lord our God. 

7 But die Levites have no part among you ; for the 
priefthoodof the Lord is their inheritance : and Gad, 
and Reuben, and half the tribe of Manaffeh, have 
received their inheritance beyond Jordan on the eaft, 
which Mofes the fervant of the Lord gave them. 

8 If And the men arofe, and went away : and Jofhua 
charged them that went to defcribe the land, faying, 
Go, and walk through the land, and defcribe it, and 
come again to me, that I may here caft lots for you 
before the Lord in Shiloh. 

9 And the men went, and paffed through the land, 
and defcribed it by cities into feven parts in a book, 
and came again to Jofhua to the hoft at Shiloh. 

10 If And Jofhua caft lots for them in Shiloh before 
the Lord : and there Jofhua divided the land unto 
the children of Ifrael, according to their divifions. 

11 If And the lot of the tribe of the children of Ben- 
jamin came up according to their families : and the 
coaft of their lot came forth between the children of 
Judah and the children of Jofeph. 

12 And their border on the north fide was from 
Jordan : and the border went up to the fide of Jericho 
on the north fide, and went up through the mountains 
weftward ; and the goings out thereof were at the 
wildernefs of Bethaven.- 

13 And the border went over from thence toward 
Luz, to the fide ofLuz, (which is Bediel,) fouth ward, 
and the border defcended to Atarothadar, near the hill 
that lieth on the fouth fide of the nether Bethhoron. 

14 And the border was drawn thence, and compaffed

15 And the fouth quarter was from die end of

47 And the coaft of the children of Dan went out 
too i little for them : therefore the children of Dan went 
up to fight againft Lefhem, and took it, and fmote it

therein, and called Lefhem, a Dan, after the name of 
Dan their father.

1 The Lord's commandment to Joshua, that the chil-

THE Lord alfo fpake unto Jofhua, faying, 
2 Speak to the children of Ifrael, faying, a Ap- 
point out for you cities of refuge, whereof I fpake 
unto you by the hand of Mofes ; 

3 That the flayer that killeth any perfon unawares, 
xmd unwittingly, may flee thither ; and they fhall be 
your refuge from the avenger of blood. 

4 And when he that doth flee unto one of thofe 
cities, fhall ftand at the entering of the gate of the city, 
and fhall declare his caufe in the ears of the elders of 
that city ; they fhall take him into the city unto them, 
and give him a place, that he may dwell among them. 

5 And if the avenger of blood purfue after him, then 
they fhall not deliver the flayer up into his hand ; 
becaufe he fmote his neighbour unwittingly, and hated 
him not beforetime. 

6 And he fhall dwell in that city, b until he ftand 
before the congregation for judgment, and until the 
death of the high prieft that fhall be in thofe days : 
then fhall the flayer return, and come unto his own 
city, and unto his own houfe, unto the city from 
whence he fled. 

7 If And they f appointed Kedefh in Galilee, in 
mount Naphtali, and Shechem in mount Ephraim and

>21 They vindicate their conduct. 30 The deputies 
are satisfied. 

THEN Jofhua called the Reubenites, and the Gad- 
ites, and the half tribe of Manaffeh, 

2 And faid unto them, Ye have kept all that Mofes 
the fervant of the Lord commanded you, and have 
obeyed my voice in all that I commanded you : 

3 Ye have not left your brethren thefe many days 
unto this day, but have kept the charge of the com- 
mandment of the Lord your God. 

4 And now the Lord your God hath given reft un- 
to j- our brethren, as he promifed them : therefore, now 
return ye, and get ye unto your tents, and unto the 
land of your poffeffion, a which Mofes the fervant of 
the Lord gave you on the other iide Jordan. 

5 But take diligent heed to do the commandment, 
and the law which Mofes the fervant of the Lord 
charged you, b to love the Lord your God, and to 
walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, 
and to cleave unto him, and to ferve him with all 
your heart, and with all your foul. 

6 So Jofhua bleffed them, and fent them away : 
and they went unto their tents. 

7 Now to the one half of the tribe of Manaffeh 
Mofes had given possession in Bafhan : but unto the 
other half thereof gave Jofhua among their brethren, 
on this fide Jordan weftward. And when Jofhua fent 
them away alfo unto their tents, then he bleffed 
them ; 

8 And, he fpake unto them, faying, Return with 
much riches unto your tents, and with very much 
cattle, with filver, and with gold, and with brafs, and 
with iron, and with very much raiment : divide the 
fpoil of your enemies with your brethren. 

9 And the children of Reuben, and the children of 
Gad, and the half tribe of Manaffeh, returned, and 
departed from the children of Ifrael out of Shiloh, 
which is in the land of Canaan, to go unto the country 
of Gilead, to the land of their poffeffion, whereof they 
were poffeffed, according to the word of the Lord 
by the hand of Mofes. 

10 If And when they came unto the borders of Jor- 
dan, that are in the land of Canaan, the children of 
Reuben, and the children of Gad, and the half tribe 
of Manaffeh, built there an altar by Jordan, a great 
altar to fee to. 

11 If And the children of Ifrael heard fay, Behold, 
the children of Reuben, and the children of Gad, and 
the half tribe of Manaffeh, have built an altar over 
againft the land of Canaan, in the borders of Jordan, 
at the paffage of the children of Ifrael. 

12 And when the children of Ifrael heard of it, the 
whole congregation of the children of Ifrael gathered 
themfelves together at Shiloh, to go up to war againft 
them. 

13 And the children of Ifrael lent unto the children

What trefpafs is tliis that ye have committed againft

which we are not cleanfed until this day, (although 
there was a plague in the congregation of the Lord,) 

18 But that ye rauft turn away this day from fol- 
lowing the Lord? and it will be, seeing ye rebel today 
againft the Lord, that tomorrow he will be wroth 
with the whole congregation of Ilrael. 

19 Notwimftanding, if the land of your poffeffion be 
unclean, then pafs ye over unto the land of the poffef- 
fion of the Lord, wherein the Lord's tabernacle 
dwelled!, and take poffeffion among us : but rebel not 
againft the Lord, nor rebel againft us, in building you 
an altar befides the altar of the Lord our God. 

20 d Did not Achan the fon of Zerah commit a tref- 
pafs in the accurfed thing, and wrath fell on all the 
congregation of Ifrael r and that man periihed not 
alone in his iniquity. 

21 If Then the children of Reuben, and the chil- 
dren of Gad, and the half tribe of Manaffeh, anfwered, 
and faid unto the heads of the thoufands of Ifrael, 

22 The Lord God of gods, the Lord God of gods, 
he knoweth, and Ifrael he fhall know, if it he in re- 
bellion, or if in tranigreflion againft the Lord, (fave 
us not this day,) 

23 That we have built us an altar to turn from fol- 
lowing the Lord, or if to offer thereon burnt offering, 
or meat offering, or if to offer peace offerings thereon, 
let the Lord himfelf require it : 

24 And if we have not rather done it for fear of this 
thing, faying, f I n tune to come your children might 
fpeak unto our children, faying, What have ye to do 
with the Lord God of Ifrael ? 

25 For the Lord hath made Jordan a border be- 
tween us and you ; ye children of Reuben, and chil- 
dren of Gad, ye have no part in the Lord : fo fhall 
your children make our children ceafe from fearing 
the Lord. 

26 Therefore we faid, Let us now prepare to build 
us an altar, not for burnt offering, nor for facrifice : 

27 But that it may be e a witnefs between us and you, 
and our generations after us, that we might do the fer- 
vice of the Lord before him with our burnt offerings, 
and with our facrifices, and with our peace offerings ; 
that your children may not fay to our children in time 
to come, Ye have no part in the Lord. 

28 Therefore, faid we, that it fhall be, when they 
fhould so fay to us, or to our generations in time to 
come, that we may fay again, Behold the pattern of 
the altar of the Lord, which our fathers made, not 
for burnt offerings, nor for facrifices ; but it is a wit- 
nefs between us and you. 

29 God forbid that we fhould rebel againft the 
Lord, and turn this day from following the Lord, 
to build an altar for burnt offerings, for meat offerings,

2 1[ And Jofhua faid unto all the people, Thus faith

7 other fide of the flood in old time, even Terah, the 
father of Abraham, and the father of Nachor : and 
they ferved other gods. 

3 And I took your father Abraham from the other,

tExod. 149- ye came unto the fea ; h and the Egyptians purfued 
after your fathers with chariots and horfemen unto 
the Red fea. 

7 And when they cried unto the L r d , he put dark- 
nefs between you and the Egyptians, and brought the 
fea upon them, and covered them ; and your eyes 
have feen what I have done in Egypt : and ye dwelt 
in the wildernefs a long feafon. 

8 And I brought you into the land of the Amorites,

with you : and I gave them into your hand, that ye 
might poffefs their land ; and I deftroyed them from

he bleffed you ftill : fo I delivered you out of his hand. chrTst 

1 1 And ye went over Jordan, and came unfo Jeri- 
cho : and the men of Jericho fought againft you, the 
Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Canaanites, 
and the Hittites, and the Girgafhkes, the Hivites, and 
the Jebufites, and I delivered them into your hand. 

12 And ' I fent the hornet before you, which drave ^ E ^ d - 
them out from before you, even the two kings of the ocut.V 2»; 
Amorites ; but not with thy fword, nor with thy bow. 

13 And I have given you a land for which ye did 
not labour, and cities which ye built not, and ye dwell 
in them ; of the vineyards and oliveyards which ye 
planted not, do ye eat. 

14 If Now, therefore, fear the Lord, and ferve him 
in fincerity and in truth, and put away the gods which 
your fathers ferved on the other fide of the flood, and 
in Egypt, and ferve ye the Lord. 

15 And if itfeem evil unto you to ferve the Lord, 
choofe you this day whom ye will ferve ; whether the 
gods which your fathers ferved, that were on the other 
fide of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whofe 
land ye dwell : but as for me and my houfe, we will 
ferve the Lord. 

16 And the people anfwered and faid, God forbid 
that we fhould forfake the Lord, to ferve other gods ; 

17 For the Lord our God, he it is that brought us 
up and our fathers out of the land of Egypt, from the 
houfe of bondage, and which did thofe great figns in 
our fight, and preferved us in all the way wherein we 
went, and among all the people through whom we 
paired : 

18 And the Lord drave out from before us all the 
people, even the Amorites which dwelt in the land : 
thereforewill we alfo ferve theLoRD ; for he is our God. 

19 And Jofhua faid unto the people, Ye cannot ferve 
the Lord : for he is an holy God ; heis a jealous God ; 
he will not forgive your tranfgreffions nor your fins. 

20 If ye forfake the Lord, and ferve ftrange gods, . 

m then he will turn and do you hurt, and confume maw*. 
you, after that he hath done you good. 23 ' 5 ' 

21 And the people faid unto Jofhua, Nay ; but we 
will ferve the Lord. 

22 And Jofhua faid unto the people, Ye are witneffes 
againft yourfelves that ye have chofen you the Lord, 
to ferve him. And they faid, We are witneffes. 

23 Now, therefore, put awaj T /said he J the ftrange 
gods which are among you, and incline your heart 
unto the Lord God of IfraeL 

24 And the people faid unto Jofhua, the Lord our 
God will we ferve, and his voice will we obey. 

25 So Jofhua made a covenant with the people that 
day, and fet them a ftatute and an ordinance in She- 
chem. 

26 IT And Jofhua wrote thefe words in the book of 
the law of God, and took a great ftone, and fet it up 
there under an oak that was by the fanctuary of the 
Lord. 

27 And Jofhua faid unto all the people, Behold, this 
ftone fhall be a vvitnefs unto us ; for it hath heard all 
the words of the Lord which he fpake unto us : it fhall 
be therefore a witnefs unto you, left ye deny your God. 

28 So Jofhua let the people depart every man unto 
his inheritance. 

29 IT And it came to pafs after thefe things, that 
Jofhua the fon of Nun, the fervant of the Lord, died,

up with me into my lot, that we may fight againft the

they flew of them in Bezek ten thoufand men.

they fought againft him, and they flew the Canaanites

and f as the Lord had fworn unto them : and they 
were greatly diftreffed. 

16 If Neverthelefs, the Lord raifed up judges, 
which f delivered them out of the hand of thofe that 
fpoiled them. 

17 And yet they would not hearken unto their 
judges ; but they went a whoring after other gods, and 
bowed themfelves unto them : they turned quickly 
out of the way which their fathers walked in, obeying 
the commandments of the Lord; but they did not fo. 

18 And when the Lord raifed them up judges, 
then the Lord was with the judge, and delivered 
them out of the hand of their enemies all the days of 
the judge ; (for it repented the Lord becaufe of their 
groanings, by reafon of them that oppreffed them, and 
vexed them.) 

19 And it eame to pafs, s when the judge was dead, 
that they returned, and || corrupted themselves more 
than their fathers in following other gods, to ferve 
them, aad to bow down unto them ; f they ceafed not 
from their own doings, nor from their itubborn way. 

20 If And the anger of the Lord was hot againft 
Ifrael ; and he faid, Becaufe that this people hath 
tranfgreffed my covenant which I commanded their 
fathers, and have not hearkened unto my voice, 

211 alfo will not henceforth drive out any from before 
them of the nations which Jofhua left when he died ; 

22 That through them I may prove Ifrael, whether 
they will keep the way of the Lord, to walk therein, 
as their fathers did keep it, or not. 

25 Therefore the Lord J left thofe nations, with- 
out driving them out haftily ; neither delivered he 
them into the hand of Jofhua.

1 The nations which were left to prove Israel : 5 by 
communion with them they are seduced to idolatry. 
8 Othniel deliver eth them from Chushanrishathaim, 
12 Ehud from Eglon, 51 and Shamgar from the 
Philistines. 

NO W thefe are the nations which the Lord left 
to prove Ifrael by them ; {even as many of Israel 
as had not known all the wars of Canaan ; 

2 Only that the generations of the children of 
Ifrael might know to teach them war, at the leaft fuch 
as before knew nothing thereof;) 

5 Namely, five lords of the Philiftines, and all the 
Canaanites, and the Sidonians, and the Hivites that 
dwelt in mount Lebanon, from mount Baalhermon 
unto the entering in of Hamath. 

4 And they were to prove Ifrael by them, to know 
whether they would hearken unto the commandments 
of the Lord, which he commanded their fathers by 
the hand of Mofes. 

5 If And the children of Ifrael dwelt among the 
Canaanites, Hittites, and Amorites, and Perizzites,

Baalim and the groves. 

8 Therefore, the anger of the Lord was hot aga'mit 
Ifrael, and he fold them into the hand of Chufhan- 
rifhathaim king of | Mefopotamia : and the children 
of Ifrael ferved Chufhanriihathaim eight years, 

9 And when the children of Ifrael cried unto the 
Lord, the Lord raifed up a f deliverer to the chil- 
dren of Ifrael, who delivered them, even Othniel the 
ion of Kenaz, Caleb's younger brother. 

10 And the Spirit of the Lord t came upon him, 
and he judged Ifrael, and went out to war : and the 

t Heb, Aram. Lord delivered Chufhanrifhathaim king of t Mefo- 
potamia into his hand ; and his hand prevailed againft 
Chumanrifhathaim. 

11 And the land had reft forty years : and Othniel 
the fon of Kenaz died. 

12 If And the children of Iirael did evil again in the 
fight of the Lord ; and the Lord ftrengthened Eglon 
the king of Moab againft Ifrael, becaufe they had 
done evil in the light of the Lord. 

13 And he gathered unto him the children of Am- 
mon and Amalek, and went and fmote Ifrael, and 
pofleffed the city of palm trees. 

14 So the children of Ifrael ferved Eglon the king 
of Moab eighteen years. 

15 But when the children of Ifrael cried unto the 
Lord, the Lord raifed them up a deliverer, Ehud 

\ ox, the son the fon of Gera, |j a Benjamite, a man f left handed ; 
and by him the children of Ifrael fent a prefent unto 
Eglon the king of Moab. 

16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had two 
edges, of a cubit length ; and he did gird it under his 
raiment upon his right thigh. 

17 And he brought the prefent unto Eglon king of 
Moab ; and Eglon was a very fat man. 

18 And, when he had made an end to offer the pref- 
ent, he fent away the people that bare the prefent. 

19 But he himfelf turned again from the || quarries, 
that were by Gilgal, and laid, I have a fecret errand 
unto thee, O king : who faid, Keep lilence. And all 
that flood by him, went out from him. 

20 And Ehud came unto him ; and he was fitting 
in a t fummer parlour, which he had for himfelf 
alone : and Ehud faid, I have a meflage from God 
unto thee. And he arofe out of his feat. 

21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and took the 
dagger from his right thigh, and thruft it into his belly. 

22 And the haft alio went in after the blade ; and 
the fat clofed upon the blade, fo that he could not draw 

11 or.ifwmethe dagger out of his belly ; and || the dirt came out. 

%£& funT 23 Then Ehud wentforththrough the porch, andfhut 

the doors of the parlour upon him, and locked them. 

24 When he was gone out, his fervants came ; and 

when they faw that, behold, the doors of the parlour

25 And they tarried till they were afhamed, and, 
behold, he opened not the doors of the parlour ; there- 
fore they took a key, and opened them ; and, behold, 
their lord was fallen down dead on the earth. 

26 And Ehud efcaped while they tarried, and paffed 
beyond the quarries, and elcaped unto Seirath. 

27 And it came to pafs, when he was come, that

the children of Ifrael went down with him from the

28 And he faid unto them, Follow after me ; for 
the Lord hath delivered your enemies the Moabites 
into your hand. And they went down after him, and 
took the fords of Jordan toward Moab, and fufttred not 
a man to pafs over. 

< 29 II And they flew of Moab at that time about ten

30 So Moab was fubdued that day under the hand 
of Ifrael. And the land had reft fourfcore years.

2 And the Lord fold them into the hand of Jabin 
king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor ; the captain 
of whofe holt was Sifera, which dwelt in Haroiheth 
of the Gentiles. 

3 And the children of Ifrael cried unto the Lord : 
for he had nine hundred chariots of iron ; and twenty 
years he mightily oppreffed the children of Ifrael. 

4 H And Deborah, a prophetefs, the wife of Lapi- 
doth, f he judged Ifrael at that time. 

5 Andfhe dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah, 
between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim ; and 
the children of Ifrael came up to her for judgment. 

6 And fhe fent and called Barak the fon of Abino- 
am out of Kedefhnaphtali, and faid unto him, Hath 
not the Lord God of Ifrael commanded, say i fig, Go, 
and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee 
ten thoufand men of the children of Naphtali, and of 
the children of Zebulun ? 

7 And I will draw unto thee, to the a river Kifhon, 
Sifera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariotsand 
his multitude ; and I will deliver him into thine hand. 

8 And Barak faid unto her, If thou wilt go with 
me, then I will go ; but if thou wilt not go with me, 
then I will not go. 

9 And fhe faid, I will furely go with thee ; notwith- 
ftanding the journey that thou takeft fhall not be for 
thine honour ; for the Lord fhall fell Sifera into the 
hand of a woman. And Deborah arole, and went 
with Barak to Kedefh. 

10 If And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to 
Kedefh ; and he went up with ten thoufand men at his 
feet : and Deborah went up with him. 

11 Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the chil- 
dren of b Hobab, the father in law of Mofes, had fev- 
ered himfelf from the Kenites, and pitched his tent 
unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedelh. 

12 And they Ihewed Sifera, that Barak th& fon of 
Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor. 

13 And Sifera f gathered together all his chariots, 
even rime, hundred chariots of iron, and all the people 
that were with him, from Harofheth of the Gentiles, 
unto the river of Kilhon.

So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten 
thoufand men after him. 

15 And c the Lord difcomfited Sifera, and all his 
chariots, and all bis hoft, with the edge of the fword 
before Barak ; fothat Sifera lighted down off his char- 
iot, and fled away on his feet. 

16 But Barak purfued after the chariots, and after 
the hoft, unto Harofheth of the Gentiles : and all the 
holt of Sifera fell upon the edge of the fword ; and 
there was not f a man left. 

17 If Howbeit, Sifera fled away on his feet to the 
tent of Jael, the wife of Heber the Kenite : for there 
was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor, and the 
houfe of Heber the Kenite, 

. 18 And Jael went out to meet Sifera, and faid unto 
him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me ; fear not. And 
when he had turned in unto her into the tent, ihe 
or, covered him with a || mantle. 

19 And he faid unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a 
little water to drink ; for lam thirfty : and Ihe opened 
d abottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him. 

20 Again he faid unto her, Stand in the door of 
the tent ; and itfhall be, when any man doth come 
and inquire of thee, and fay, Is there any man here ? 
that thou (halt fay, No. 

21 Then Jael, Heber's wife, took a nail of the tent, 
t ueb.put. and f took an hammer in her hand, and went foftly 

unto him, and fmote the nail into his temples, and 
faltened it into the ground : (for he was fait afleep and 
weary :) fo he died : 

22 And, behold, as Barak purfued Sifera, Jael came 
out to meet him, and faid unto him, Come, and I 
will fhew thee the man whom thou feekeft. And 
when he came into her tent, behold, Sifera lay dead, 
and the nail was in his temples. 

23 So God fubdued on that day Jabin the king of 
Canaan before the children of Ifrael. 

24 And the hand of the children of Ifrael f profper- 
ed, and prevailed againft Jabin the king of Canaan, 
until they had deftroyed Jabin king of Canaan.

36 his signs. 

AN D the children of Ifrael did evil in the fight of 
the Lord ; and the Lord delivered them into 
the hand of Midian feven years. 

2 And the hand of Midian '[ prevailed againft If- 
rael ": and becaufe of the Midianites the children of 
Ifrael made them the dens which are in the moun- 
tains, and caves, and ftrong holds. 

3 And so it was, when Ifrael had fown, that the 
Midianites came up, and the Amalekites^ and the 
children of the eaft, even they came up againft them ; 

4 And they encamped againft them, and deftroyed 
the increafe of the earth, till thou come unto Gaza, 
and left no fuftenance for Ifrael, neither || fheep, nor 
ox, nor afs. 

5 For they Came Up with their cattle, and their 
tents, and they came as grafshoppers for multitude ; 
for both they and their camels were without number : 
and they entered into the land to deftroy it. 

6 And Ifrael was greatly impoveriihed becaufe of 
the Midianites -; and the children of Ifrael cried unto 
the Lord. 

7 \ And it came to pafs, when the children of Ifrael 
cried unto the Lord becaufe of the Midianites, 

8 That the Lord fent t a prophet unto the children 
of Ifrael, which faid unto them, Thus faith the Lord 
God of Ifrael, I brought you up from Egypt, and 
brought you forth out of the houfe of bondage ; 

9 And I delivered you out of the hand of the Egyp- 
tians, and out of the hand of all that oppreffed you, 
and drave them out from before you, and gave you 
their land •; 

10 And I faid unto you, I am the Lord your God ; 
a fear not the gods of the Amorites, in whole land ye 
dwell : but ye have not obeyed my voice. 

11 U And there came an angel of the Lord, and 
^ fat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained 

c"jedo]d««. unto . Joafh the Abiezrite ; and his fon b Gideon 
W*jtl aH " threihed wheat by the wine prefs, f to hide it from 
the Midianites. 

12 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, 
and faid unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou 
mighty man of valour. 

13 And Gideon faid unto him, Oh, my Lord, if the 
Lord be with us, why then is all this befallen us ? and 
where be all his miracles which our fathers toM us of, 
laying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt ? 
but now the Lord hath forfaken us, and delivered us 
into the hands of the Midianites. 

14 And the Lord looked upon him, and faid, Go 
in this thy might, and thou fhalt fave Ifrael from the 
hand of the Midianites : have not I fent thee ? 

15 And he faid unto him, Oh, my Lord, wherewith 
tHtb. w fhall I fave Ifrael ? behold, t my family is poor in 
ttemlanut. Manafleh, and I am the leaft in my father's hou/e.

16 And the Lord faid unto him, Surely I will be 
with thee, and thou fhalt finite the Midianites as one 
man. 

17 IF And he faid unto him, If now I have found 
grace in thy fight, then fliew me a fign that thou 
talkeft with me. 

18 Depart not hence, I pray thee, until I come unto 
thee, and bring forth my || prefent, and fet it before 
thee. And he faid, I will tarry until thou come again. 

19 And Gideon went in, and made ready t a kid, and 
unleavened cakes of an ephah of flour : the flefh he put 
in a bafket, and he put the broth in a pot, and brought 
it out unto him under the oak, and prefented it. 

20 And the angel of God faid unto him, Take the 
flefh and the unleavened cakes, and lay them upon 
this rock, and pour out the broth. And he did fo. 

21 1 Then the angel of the Lord put forth the end 
of the ftaff that was in his hand, and touched the flefh 
and the unleavened cakes ; and there rofe up fire out 
of the rock, and confumed the flefh. and the unleav- 
ened cakes. Then the angel of the Lord departed 
out of his fight. 

22 And when Gideon perceived that he was an 
angel of the LoRD,Gideon faid, Alas, OLord God ! 
c for becaufe I have feen an angel of the Lord face 
to face. 

23 And the Lord faid unto him, Peace be unto 
thee ; fear not : thou fhalt not die. 

24 Then Gideon built an altar there unto the Lord, 
and called it || Jehovahfhalom : unto this day it is yet 
in Ophrah of the Abiezrites. 

25 If And it came to pafs the fame night, that the 
Lord faid unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, 
II even the fecond bullock of feven years old, and 
throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and 
cut down the grove that is by it ; 

26 And build an altar unto the Lord thy God upon 
the top of this t rock, || in the ordered place, and take 
the fecond bullock, and offer a burnt facrifice with the 
wood of the grove which thou fhalt cut down. 

27 Then Gideon took ten men of his fervants, and 
did as the Lord had faid unto him : and so it was, 
becaufe he feared his father's houfehold, and the men 
of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did 
it by night. 

28 IT And when the men of the city arofe early in the 
morning, behold, the altar of Baal was call down, and 
the grove was cut down that was by it. and the fecond 
bullock was offered upon the altar that ivas built. 

29 And they faid one to another, Who hath clone 
this thing ? And when they inquired and afked, they 
faid, Gideon the fon of Joafh hath clone this thing. 

• 30 Then the men of the city laid unto Joafh, Bring 
out thy fon that he may die ; becaufe he hath call 
down the altar of Baal, and becaufe he hath cut down 
the grove that was by it. 

31 And Joafh faid unto all that flood againft him, 
Will ye plead for Baal ? will ye fave him ? He that 
will plead for him, let him be put to death, whilft it is 
yet morning : if he be a god, let him plead for himfelf, 
becaufe one hath caft down his altar. 

. 32 Therefore on that day he called him Jerubbaal, 
faying, Let Baal plead againft him, becaufe he hath 
thrown down his altar.

and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon 
all the eartii beside, then fhali I know that thou wilt

38 And it was fo : for he rofe up early on the mor- 
row, and thruft the fleece together, and wringed the 
dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water. 

39 And Gideon faid unto God, e Let not thine anger 
be hot againft me, and I will fpeak but this once : Let 
me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece ; 
let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all 
the ground let there be dew.

the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.

1 Gideon' ] s army of two and thirty thousand reduced to 
three hundred : 9 he is encouraged by _ hearing a 
dream, and the interpretation : 16 he dimdeth his 
army into three companies, with trumpets, andlamps 
in pitchers. 24 The Ephraimites take Oreb and 
Zeeb, and put them to death. 

•HEN Jerubbaal, (who is Gideon,) and all the 
people that were with him, rofe up early, and 
pitched befide the well of Harod ; fo that the "holt of 
the Midianites were on the north lide of them, by the 
hill of Moreh, in the valley. 

2 And the Lord faid unto Gideon, The people that 
are with thee, are too many for me to give the Midi- 
anites into their hands, left Ifrael vaunt themfelves 
againft me, faying, Mine own hand hath faved me. 

3 Now therefore, go to, proclaim in the ears of the 
aDeufc 20 8. people, faying, a Whofoever is fearful and afraid, let 

3 56 ' him return, and depart early from mount Gilead : 
and there returned of the people twenty and two thou- 
sand, and there remained ten thoufand. 

4 And the Lord faid unto Gideon, The people 
are yet too many ; bring them down unto the water, 
and I will try them for thee there : and it fliall be, 
thai of whom I fay unto thee, This fhall go with thee, 
the fame fhall go with thee ; arid of whomfoever I fay 
unto thee, This lhall not go with thee, the fame lliall 
not go. 

5 So he brought down the people unto the water : 
and the Lord faid unto Gideon, Every one that lap - 
peth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, 
him fhalt thou fet by himfelf ; like wife every one that 
boweth down upon his knees to drink. 

6 And the number of them that lapped, putting 
their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men : 
but all the reft of the people bowed down upon their 
knees to drink water. 

7 Arid the Lord faid unto Gideon, By the three 
hundred men that lapped, will I fave you, and deliver 
the Midianites into thine hand ; and let all the other 
people go every man unto his place.

8 So the people took victuals in their hand, and 
their trumpets : and he fent all the rest o/'Ifrael, every 
man unto his tent, and retained thofe three hundred 
men. And the hoft of Midian was beneath him in 
the valley. 

9 IF And it came to pafs the fame night, that the 
Lord faid unto him, Arife, get thee _ down unto the 
hoft ; for I have delivered it into thine hand. 

10 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah 
thy fervant down to the hoft : 

11 And thou fhalt hear what they fay ; and after- 
ward {hall thine hands beftrengthenedto go down unto 
the hoft. Then went he down with Phurah his fervant 
unto the outfide of the H armed men that were in the 
hoft. 

12 And the Midianites, and the Amalekites, and 
b all the children of the eaft, lay along in the valley like 
grafshoppers for multitude ; and their camels were with- 
out number, as the fand by the fea fide for multitude. 

13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was 
a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and faid, 
Behold, I dreamed a dream, andlo, a cake of barley 
bread tumbled into the hoft of Midian, and, came unto 
a tent, and fmote it that it fell, and overturned it, that 
the tent lay along. 

14 And his fellow anfwered and faid,This is nothing 
elfe fave the fword of Gideon the fon of Joafh, a man 
of Ifrael : for into his hand hath God delivered Mi- 
dian, and all the hoft. 

15 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling 

of the dream, and f the interpretation thereof, that he \^i^ 
worfhipped, and returned into the hoft of Ifrael, and *>>W- 
faid, Arife ; for the Lord hath delivered into your 
hand the hoft of Midian. 

16 IF And he divided the three hundred men into 
three companies, and he put f a trumpet in every £**J ft ■ 
man's hand, with empty pitchers, and || lamps within '*f*J"i? 
the pitchers. 

17 And he faid unto them, Look on me, and do 
likewife : and, behold, when I come to the outfide of 
the camp, it fhall be, that as I do, fo fhall ye do. 

18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are 
with me, then blow ye the trumpets alfo, on every 
fide of all the camp, and fay, The sword 01 the Lord, 
and of Gideon. 

19 IF So Gideon, and the hundred men that were. 
with him, came unto the outfide of the camp in the 
beginning of the middle watch ; and they had but 
newly fet the watch ; and they blew the trumpets, and 
brake the pitchers that were in their hands. 

20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, 
and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left 
hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow 
withal: and they cried, The fword of the Lord, and 
of Gideon. 

21 And they flood every man in his place round 
about the camp : and all the hoft ran, and cried, and 
fled. 

22 And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and 

c the Lord fet every man's fword againft his fellow, clsa ' ah 9 *• 
even throughout all the hoft ; and the hoft fled to 
Bethfhittah || in Zererath, and to the f border of 
Abelmeholah, unto Tabbath. 

23 And the men of Ifrael gathered themfelves

AN D the men of Ephraim faid unto him, t Why 
haft thou ferved us thus, that thou calledft us 
not when thou wenteft to fight with the Midianites ? 
And they did chide with him f fharply. 

2 And he faid unto them, What have I done now 
in comparifon of you ? Is not the gleaning of the grapes 
of Ephraim better than the vintage of Abiezer ? 

3 God hath delivered into your hands the princes 
of Midian, Oreb and Zeeb : and what was I able to 
do in comparifon of you ? Then their f anger was 
abated toward him when he had faid that. 

4 If And Gideon came to Jordan, and paffed over, 
he, and the three hundred men that were with him, 
faint, yet purfuing them. 

5 And he faid unto the men of Succoth, Give, I 
pray you, loaves of bread unto the people that follow 
me ; for they be faint, and I am purfuing after Zebah 
and Zalmunna, kings of Midian. 

6 And the princes of Succoth faid, A re the hands of 
Zebah and Zalmunna now in thine hand, that we 
fhould give bread unto thine army ? 

7 And Gideon faid, Therefore when the Lord hath 
delivered Zebah and Zalmunna into mine hand, then 
I will t tcaryour nefh with the thorns of the wilder- 
nefs, and with briers. 

8 And he went up thence to Penuel, and fpake un- 
to them likewife : and the men of Penuel anfwered 
him as the men of Succoth had anfwered him. 

9 And he fpake alfo unto the men of Penuel, faying, 
When I come again in peace, I will break down this 
tower. 

10 If Now Zebah and Zalmunna were in Karkor, 
and their hofls with them, about fifteen thoufand men,

11 And Gideon went up by the way of them that 
dwelt in tents on the eaft of Nobah arid Jogbchah, and 
fmote the hoft : for the hoft was fecure. 

12 And when Zebah. and Zalmunna fled, he pur- 
furd after them, and took the two kings of Midian,

unto thy men that are weary ? 

16 And he took the elders of the city, and thorns

t taught the men of Succoth. 

17 And he beat down the tower of a Penuel, and Zt"

What manner of men were they whom ye flew at Ta-

19 And he faid, They were my brethren, even the Vff%£

20 And he faid unto Jether his firflborn, Up, and 
flay them. But the youth drew not his fword : for 
he feared, becaufe he %vas yet a youth. 

21 Then Zebah and Zalmunna faid, Rife thou, and 
fall upon us ; for as the man is, so is his ftrength. And 
Gideon arofe, and flew Zebah and Zalmunna, and took 
away the H ornaments that were on their camels' necks. 

22 If Then the men of Ifrael faid unto Gideon, Rule 
thou over us, both thou and thy fon, and thy fon's fon 
alfo; forthou haft delivered us from the hand of Midian. 

23 And Gideon faid unto them, I will not rule over 
you, neither fhall my fon rule over you : the Lord 
ihall rule over you. 

24 And Gideon faid unto them, I would defire a 
requeft of you, that ye would give me every man the 
earrings of his prey : (for they had golden earrings, 
becaufe they were Ifhmaelites.) 

25 And they anfwered, We will willingly give them. 
And they fpread a garment, and did eaft therein every 
man the earrings of his prey. 

26 And the weight of the golden earrings that he 
requefted, was a thoufand and feven hundred shekels 

of gold, befide ornaments, and || collars, and purple B b r , svleii

the chains that were about their camels' necks. 

_ 27 And Gideon made an ephod thereof, and put it 

in his city, even in Ophrah ; and all Ifrael went thither 

a whoring after it : which thing became a fnare unto 

Gideon, and to his houfe.

36 And when Gaal faw the people, he faid to Zebul, 
Behold, there come people down from the top of the

37 And Gaal fpake again, and faid, See, there come 
tH*b.n a «/.people down by the f middle of the land, and another

38 Then faid Zebul unto him, Where is now thy 
mouth, wherewith thou faidft, Who is Abimelech, that 
we ihould ferve him ? Is not this the people that thou 
haft defpifed ? Go out, I pray now, and fight with them. 

39 And Gaal went out before the men of Shechem, 
and fought with Abimelech. 

40 And Abimelech dialed him,, and he Med before 
him ; and many were overthrown and wounded, even 

. unto the entering of the gate. 

41 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah : and Zebul 
thruft out Gaal and his brethren T that they Ihould not 
dwell in Shechem. 

42 And it came to pafs on the morrow, that the peo- 
ple went out into the field ; and they told Abimelech. 

43 And he took the people, and divided them into 
three companies, and laid wait in the field, and looked, 
and, behold, the people ivere come forth out of the 
city ; and he rofe up againft them, and fmote them. 

44 And Abimelech, and the company that was. with 
him, ruined forward, and flood in the entering of the 
gate of the city : and the two other companies ran upon 
all the people that ivere in the fields and flew them. 

45 And Abimelech fought againft the city all that 
clay ; and he took the city, and flew the people that was 
therein, and beat down "the city, and fcwedit with fait. 

46 If And when all the men of the tower of She- 
chem heard that, they entered into an hold of the 
houfe of the god Berith.. 

47 And it was tokl Abimelech, that all the men of 
the tower of Shechem were gathered together. 

48 And Abimelech gat him up to mount Zalmon, 
he and all the people that were with him ; and Abime- 
lech took an axe in his hand, and cut down a bough 
from the trees, and took it, and laid it on hisfhoulder, 
and faid unto the people that were with him, What ye 

t HtB. thaxt have feen t me do, make hafte, and do as I have done. 

49 And all the people likewife cut down every man 
his bough, and followed Abimelech, and put them to 
the hold, and fet the hold on fire upon them ; fo that 
all the men of the tower of Shechem died alfo, about 
a thoufand men and women. 

50 It Then went Abimelech to Thebez, and en- 
camped againft Thebez, and took it. 

51 But there was a ftrong tower within the city, 
and thither fled all the men and women, and all they 
of the city, and fhut it to them, and gat them up to 
the top of the tower- 

52 And Abimelech came unto the tower, and 
fought againft it, and went hard unto the door of the 
tower to burn it with fire. 

53 And a certain woman a call a piece of a millftone 
upon Abimelech's head, and all to break his ikull. 

54 Then he called haftily unto the young man his

king of Amnion .-29 his vow : 32 he over come th the 
Ammonites : 34 his daughter meeting him, he doeth 
according to his vow. 

OW a Jephthah the Gileadite was a mighty man 
of valour, and he was the fon off an harlot : 
and Gilead begat Jephthah. 

2 And Gilead's wife bare him fons ; and his wife's 
fons grew up, and they thruil out Jephthah, and faid 
unto him, Thou lhalt not inherit in our father's houfe ; 
for thou art the fon of a ftrange woman. 

3 Then Jephthah fled from f his brethren, and 
dwelt in the land of Tob ; and there were gathered 
vain men to Jephthah, and went out with him. 

4 If And it came to pais, in f procefs of time, that 
the children of Amnion made war againft Ifrael. 

-5 And it was fo, that when the children of Ammon 
made war againft Ifrael, the elders of Gilead went to 
fetch Jephthah out of the land of Tob : 

6 And they faid unto Jephthah, Come, and be our 
captain, that we may fight with the children of Ammon. 

7 And Jephthah faid unto the elders of Gilead, Did 
not ye hate me, and expel me out of my father's 
houfe ? and why'are ye come unto me now when ye 
are in diftrefs ? 

8 And the elders of Gilead faid unto Jephthah, 
Therefore we turn again to thee now, that thou mayeft 
go with us, and fight againft the children of Ammon, 
and be our head over all the inhabitants of Gilead. 

9 And Jephthah faid unto the elders of Gilead, If 
ye bring me home again to fight againft the children 
of Ammon, and the Lord deliver them before me, 
fhall I be your head ? 

10 And the elders of Gilead faid unto Jephthah, 
t neb. be the The Lord t be witnefs between us, if we do not fo 
linns' according to thy words. 

11 Then Jephthah went with the elders of Gilead, 
and the people made him head and captain over them : 
and Jephthah uttered all his words before the Lord 
in Mizpeh. 

12 *if And Jephthah fent meffengers unto the king 
of the children of Ammon, faying, What haft thou to 
do with me, that thou art come againft me to fight in 
my land ? 

1 3 And the king of the children of Ammon anfwer- 
ed unto the meffengers of Jephthah, b Becaufe Ifrael 
took away my land when they came up out of Egypt, 
from Anion even unto Jabbok, and unto Jordan : 
now, therefore, reftore thofe lands again peaceably. 

14 And Jephthah fent meffengers again unto the 
king of the children of Ammon. 

15 And faid unto him, Thus faith Jephthah, c Ifrael 
took not away the land of Moab, nor the land of the 
children of Ammon : 

16 But when Ifrael came up from Egypt, and walk-

ed through the wildernefs unto the Red fea, and came 
to Kadeih ; 

17 Then d Ifrael fent meffengers unto the king of 
Edom, faying, Let me, I pray thee, pafs through thy 
land : butthe king of Edom would not hearken thereto. 
And in like manner they fent unto the king of Moab ; 
but he would not consent : and Ifrael abode in Kadefh. 

18 Then they went along through the wildernefs, 
and compaffed the land of Edom, and the land of 
Moab,and came by the eaft fide of the land of Moab, 
e and pitched on the other fide of Arnon, but came not 
within the border of Moab : for Arnon was the bor- 
der of Moab. 

19 And f Ifrael fent meffengers unto Sihon king of 
the Amorites, the king of Hefhbon ; and Ifrael faid 
unto him, Let us pafs, we pray thee, through thy land 
unto my place. 

20 But Sihon trailed not Ifrael to pafs through his 
coaft ; but Sihon gathered all his people together, and 
pitched in Jahaz, and fought againft Ifrael. 

21 And the Lord God of Ifrael delivered Sihon 
and all his people into the hand of Ifrael, and they 
fmote them : fo Ifrael poffeffed all the land of the 
Amorites, the inhabitants of that country. 

22 And they poffeffed s all the coafts of the Amor- 
ites, from Arnon even unto Jabbok, and from the 
wildernefs even unto Jordan. 

23 So now, the Lord God of Ifrael hath difpoffeff- 
ed the Amorites from before his people Ifrael, and 
fhouldeft thou poffefs it ? 

24 Wilt not thou poffefs that which Chemofh thy 
god giveth thee to poffefs ? fo whomfoever the Lord 
our God ill all drive out from before us, them will we 
poffefs. 

25 h And now art thou any thing better than Baiak 
the fon of Zippor, king of Moab ? did he ever ftrive 
againft Ifrael, or did he ever fight againft them, 

26 While Ifrael dwelt in Hefhbon and her towns, 
and in Aroer and her towns, and in all the cities that be 
along by the coafts of Arnon, three hundred years ? 
why therefore did ye not recover them within that time ? 

27 Wherefore, I have not finned againft thee, but 
thou doeftme wrong to war againft me : the Lord 
the Judge, be judge this day between the children of 
Ifrael and the children of Ammon. 

28 Howbeit, the king of the children of Ammon 
hearkened not unto the words of Jephthah which he 
fent him. 

29 If Then the Spirit of the Lord came upon Jeph- 
thah, and he paffed over Gilead, and Manaffeh, and 
paffed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of 
Gilead, he paffed over tin to the children of Ammon. 

30 And Jephthah vowecba vow unto the Lord, and 
faid, If thou fhalt without fail deliver the children of 
Ammon into mine hands, 

3 1 Then it fhall be, that t whatfoever cometh forth 
of the doors of my houfe to meet me, when F return 
in peace from the children of Ammon, fhall furely be 
the Lord's, || and I will offer it up for a burnt offering. 

32 If So Jephthah paffed over unto the children of 
Ammon to fight againft them ; and the Lord deliv- 
ered them into his hands. 

33 And he fmote them from Aroer, even till thou 
come to Minnith, even twenty cities, and unto j| the 
plain of the vineyards, with a very great flaughter. 
Thus the children of Ammon were iubdued before 
the children of Ifrael.

4 Then Jephthah gathered together all the men of

Gilead fmote Ephraim, becaufe they laid, Ye Gilead-

Though thou detain me, I will not eat of thy bread ;

6 And the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon

and he hod nothing in his hand : but he told not his 
father or his mother what he had done. 

7 And he went clown and talked with the woman ; 
and flie pleafed Samfon well. 

8 If And after a time he returned to take her ; and 
he turned afide to fee the carcafs of the lion : and, 
behold, there was a fwarm of bees and honey in the 
carcafs of the lion. 

9 And he took thereof in his hands, and went on 
eating, and came to his father and mother, and he 
gave them, and they did eat : but he told not them that 
he had taken the honey out of the carcafs of the lion. 

10 If So his father went down unto the woman, and 
Samfon made there a feaft ; for fo ufed the young 
men to do. 

11 And it came to pafs, when they faw him, that 
they brought thirty companions to be with him.

it me within the feven days of the feaft, and find it 
out, then I will give you thirty || iheets, and thirty 
change of garments : 

_ 13 But if ye cannot declare it me, then fhall ye 
give me thirty Iheets, and thirty change of garments. 
And they faid unto him, Put forth thy riddle, that we 
may hear it. 

14 And he faid unto them, Out of the eater came 
forth meat, and out of the ftrong came forth fweetneis,. 
And they could not in three days expound the riddle. 

15 And it came to pafs on. the feventh day, that 
they faid unto Samfon's wife, Entice thy hufband, that 
he may declare unto us the riddle, left we burn thee 
and thy father's houfe with fire : have ye called us t to 
take that we have : is it not so ? 

16 And Samfon's wife wept before him, and faid, 
Thou cloft but hate me, and loveft me not : thou haft 
put forth a riddle unto the children of my people, 
and haft not told it me. And he faid unto her, Be- 
hold, I have not told it my father nor my mother, and 
fliall I tell it thee i 

17 And flic wept before him |f the feven days while 
their feaft lafted ; and it came to pafs on the feventh 
day, that he told her, becaufe fhe lay fore upon him ; 
and (lie told the riddle to the children of her people. 

18 And the men of the city faid unto him on the

hefaid unto them, If ye had not ploughed with my

and he went down to Afhkelon, and flew thirty men

2 And her father laid, I verily thought that thou 
hadft utterly hated her ; therefore I gave her to thy 
companion : is not her younger lifter fairer than fhe ? 
f take her, I pray thee, inftead of her. 

3 If And Samfon faid concerning them, || Now fhall 
I be more blamelefs than the Philiftines, though I do 
them a difpleaftfrfe. 

4 And Samfon went and caught three hundred 
lor/to^ foxes, and took || firebrands, and turned tail to tail,, 

and put a firebrand in the midft between two tails. 

5 And when he had fet the brands on fire, he let 
them go into the {landing corn of the Philiftines, and 
burnt up both the fhocks ; , and alio the {landing corn, 
with the vineyards and olives. 

G Then the Philiftines laid-, Who hath done this ? 
And they anfwered, Samfon, the fon in law of the 
Timnite, becaufe he had taken his wife, and given 
her to his companion. And the Philiftines came up 
and burnt her and her father with fire. 

7 H And Samfon faid unto them, Though ye have 
done this, yet will I be avenged of you, and after that 
I will ceai'e. 

8 And he fmote them hip and thigh with a great 
{laughter : and he went down and dwelt in the top of 
the rock Etam. 

9 *il Then the Philiftines went up, and pitched in 
Juclah, and fpread themfelves in Lehi. 

10 And the men of Judah faid, Why are ye come 
up againft us ? And they anfwered, To bind Samfon 
are we come up, to do to him as he hath done to us. 

11 Then three thoufand men of Judah t went to 
the top of the rock Etam, and ikid to Samfon, Knoweft 
thou not that the Philiftines are rulers over us ? what 
is this that thou haft done unto us ? And he laid unto 
them, As they did unto me, fo have I done unto them. 

12 And they laid unto him, We are come down to 
bind thee, that wc may deliver thee into the hand of 
the Philiftines. And Samfon faid unto them, Swear 
unto me, that ye will not fall upon me yourfelves. 

13 And they fpake unto him, faying, No ; but we 
v. ill bind thee iaft, and deliver thee into their hand ; but 
iurely we will not kill thee. And they bound him with 
two new cords, and brought him up from the rock. 

14 H And when he came unto Lehi, the Philiftines 
fhouted againft him : and the Spirit of the Lord 
came mightily upon him ; and the cords that were 
upon his arms became as flax that was burnt with 

U$%?' rt fire, and his bands f loofed from off his hands.

put forth, his hand and took it, and flew a thoufand 

men therewith. 

16 And Samfon faid, With the jawbone of an afs, 
f heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an afs have I flain 
a thoufand men. 

17 And it came to pafs, when he had made an end 
of fpeaking, that he call away the jawbone out of his

1 Samson escapethfrom Gaza, andcarrieth away the 
gates of the city. 4 Delilah, corrupted by the Phi- 
listines, enticeth Samson, and is thrice deceived ; 
15 at last she overcometh him, end the Philistines 
take him, and put out his eyes : 23 they hold a feast 
to Dagon. 26 Samson pulleth down the house upon 
the Philistines, and dieth. 

THEN went Samfon to Gaza, and faw there f an 
harlot, and went in unto her. 
2 And it was told the Gazites, faying, Samfon is 
come hither. And they compaffed him in, and laid 
wait for him all night in the gate of the city, and were 
f quiet all the night, faying, In the morning, when it 
is day, we fhall kill him. 

# 3 And Samfon lay till midnight, and arofe at mid- 
night, and took the doors of the gate of the city, and 
the two polls, and went away with them, f bar and 
all, and put them upon his fhoulders, and carried them 
up to the top of an hill that is before Hebron. 

4 H And it came to pafs afterward, that he loved a 
woman || in the valley of Sorek , whole name was Delilah. 

5 And the lords of the Philiftines came up unto her, 
and faid unto her, Entice him, and fee wherein his 
great ftrength lieth, and by what means we may pre- 
vail againft him, that we may bind him to || afflict, him • 
and we will give thee, eveiy one of us, eleven hun- 
dred pieces of iilver. 

6 And Delilah faid to Samfon, Tell me, I pray thee, 
wherein thy great ftrength lieth, and wherewith thou 
mighteft be bound to afflicl thee. 

7 And Samfon faid unto her, If they bind me with 
feven || f green withs that were never dried, then fhall 
I be weak, and be as f another man. 

8 Then the lords of the Philiftines brought up to 
her feven green withs which had not been dried, and 
fne bound him with them. 

9 (Now there were men lying ill wait abiding with 
her in the chamber.) And ihe laid unto him, The 
Philiftines be upon thee, Samfon. And lie brake the 
withs as a thread of tow is broken when it t toucheth 
the fire : fo his ftrength was not known. 

10 And Delilah laid unto Samfon, Behold, thou 
haft mocked me, and told me lies : now tell me, I pray 
thee, wherewith thou mighteft be bound. 

11 And he laid unto her. If they bind me fall with 
new ropes f that never were occupied, then fhall I be 
weak, and be as another man. 

12 Delilah, therefore, took new ropes, and bound 
him therewith, and faid unto him, The Philiftines be 
upon thee, Samfon. (And there were liers in wait 
abiding in the chamber.) And he brake them from 
off his arms like a thread. 

13 And Delilah faid unto Samfon, Hitherto thou 
haft mocked me, and told me lies : tell me wherewith 
thou mighteft be bound. And he faid unto her, If thou 
weaveft the feven locks of my head with the web., 

14 And fhe fattened it with the pin, and faid unto

15 1T And fhe faid unto him, How canft thou fay, 
I love thee, when thine heart is not with me ? thou 
haft mocked me thefe three times, and haft not told 
me wherein thy great ftrength lleth. 

16 And it came to pafs, when fhe preffed him daily 
with her words, and urged him, so that his foul was 
| vexed unto death, 

17 That he told her all his heart, and faid unto her, 
There hath not come a razor upon mine head ; for I have 
been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb : 
if I be fhaven, then my ftrength will go from me, and 
I fhall become weak, and be like any other man. 

18 And when Delilah faw that he had told her all his 
heart, fhe fent and called for the lords of the Philif- 
tines, faying, Come up this once ; for he hath fhewed 
me all his heart. Then the lords of the Philiftines 
came up unto her, and brought money in their hand. 

19 And ilie made him fleep upon herdmees ; and 
fhe called for a man, and fhe caufed him to fhave off 
the feven locks of his head ; and fhe began to afflicl 
him, and his ftrength went from him. 

20 And fhe faid, The Philiftines be upon thee, Sam- 
fon. And he awoke out of his fleep, and faid, I will go 
out, as at other times before, and fhake myfelf. And 
he will not that the Lord was departed from him. 

2 1 But the Philiftines took him , and t put outhis eyes, 
and brought him down to Gaza, and bound him with 
fetters of brafs ; and he did grind in the prifon houfe. 

22 Howbeit, the hair of his head began to grow 
again || after he was fhaven. 

23 If Then the lords of the Philiftines gathered them 
together for to offer a great facrifice unto Dagon their 
god, and to rejoice : for they faid, our god hath de- 
livered Samfon our enemy into our hand. 

24 And when the people faw him, they praifed 
their god ; for they faid, Our god hath delivered into 
our hands our enemy, and the deftroyer of our coun- 

whomuMpu. try, f which flew many of us. 

edowsuin. £5 ^nd it came to pafs, when their hearts were 
merry, that they faid, Call for Samfon, that he may 
make us fport. And they called for Samfon out of 

fo^th b /m. the prifon houfe ; and he made t them fport : and 
they fet him between the pillars. 

26 IT And Samfon faid unto the lad that held him by 
the hand, Suffer me that I may feel the pillars where- 
upon the houfe ftandeth, that I may lean upon them. 

27 Now the houfe was full of men and women ; 
and all the lords of the Philiftines were there : and 
there were upon the roof, about three thoufand men 
and women, that beheld while Samfon made fport. 

28 And Samfon called unto the Lord, and laid, O 
Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and ftrengthen 
me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be 
at once avenged of the Philiftines for my two eyes. 

29 And Samfon took hold of the two middle pil-

borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of 
the other with his left.

the houfe fell upon the lords, and upon all the people 
that ivere therein : fb the dead which he flew at his 
death, were more than they which he flew in his life.

1 Of the money that Micah had stolen, and afterward 
restored, his mother maketh images. 5 Micah's 
idolatry : 7 he hireth a Levite to be his priest. 

AN D there was a man of mount Ephraim, whofe 
name was Micah. 

2 And he faid unto his mother, The eleven hundred 
shekels of filver that were taken from thee, about 
which thou curfedft, and fpakefl of alfo in mine ears, 
behold, the filver is with me ; I took it. And his 
mother faid, Blefled be thou of the Lord, my fon. 

3 And when he had reftored the eleven hundred 
shekels of filver to his mother, his mother faid, I had 
wholly dedicated the filver unto the Lord from my 
hand, for my fon to make a graven image and a molten 
image ; now, therefore, I will reftore it unto thee. 

_ 4 Yet he reftored the money unto his mother ; and 
his mother took two hundred shekels of filver, and 
gave them to the founder, who made thereof a graven 
image and a molten image : and they were in the 
houfe of Micah.

7 IF And there was a young man out of Bethlehem - 
judah, of the family of Judah, who was aLevite, and 
he fojourned there. 

8 And the man departed out of the city from Beth- 
lehemjudah, to fojourn where he could find a place : 
and he came to mount Ephraim, to the houfe of Mi- 
cah, fas he journeyed. 

9 And Micah faid unto him, Whence comeft thou ? ™>'* 
And he faid unto him, lama Levite of Bethlehem- 
judah, and I go to fojourn where I may find a place. 

10 And Micah faid unto him, Dwell with me, and 
be unto me a father and a prieft, and I will give thee 
ten shekels of filver by the year, and || t a fuit of ap- 
parel, and thy victuals. So the Levite went in. 

11 And the Levite was contentto dwell with the man; 
and the young man was unto him as one of his fons. 

12 And Micah confecrated the Levite; and the young 
man became his prieft, and was in the houfe of Micah. 

13 Then faid Micah, Now know I that the Lord 
will do me good, feeing I have a Levite to my prieft.

who, when they came to mount Ephraim, to the houfe 
of Micah, they lodged there. 

3 When they were by the houfe of Micah, they 
knew the voice of the young man the Levite : and 
they turned in thither, and faid unto him, Who 
brought thee hither ? and what makeft thou in this 
place ? and what haft thou here ?

Micah with me, andhathhired me, and I am his prieft. 

5 And they faid unto him, Afk counfel, we pray 
thee, of God, that we may know whether our way 
which we go, fhall be profperous. 

6 And the prieft faid unto them, Go in peace : 
before the Lord is your way wherein ye go. 

7 II Then the five men departed, and came to Laifh, 
and faw the people that were therein, how they dwelt 
carelefs, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet, and 
fecure ; and there was no t magiftrate in the land, that 
might put them to lhame in any thing ; and they were 
far from the Zidonians, and had no bufinefs with any 
man. 

8 And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and 
Eihtaol ; and their brethren faid unto them, What 
say ye ? 

9 And they faid, Arife, that we may go up againft

very good ; and are ye ftill ? be not ilothful to go, 
and to enter to poffefs the land. 

10 When ye go, ye fhall comeunto a people fecure,

11 H And there went from thence of the family of 
the Danites, out of Zorah, and out of Efhtaol, fix

20 And the priefl's heart was glad ; and he took the 
ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and 
went in the midfl of the people. 

21 So they turned and departed, and put the little 
ones, and the cattle, and the carriage, before them. 

22 If And when they were a good way from the 
houfe of Micah, the men that were in the houfes near 
to Micah's houfe, were gathered together, and over- 
took the children of Dan. 

23 And they cried unto the children of Dan : and 
they turned their faces, and faid unto Micah, What 
aileth thee, t that thou comeft with fuch a company ? , 

24 And he faid, Ye have taken away my gods which gathered 
I made, and the prieft, and ye are gone away ; and "**"'' 
what have I more ? and what is this, that ye fay unto

25 And the children of Dan faid unto him, Let not

26 And the children of Dan went their way ; and 
when Micah faw that they were too flrong for him, he 
turned, and went back unto his houfe. 

27 TF And they took the things which Micah had 
made, and the prieft which he had, and came unto 
Laifh, unto a people that were at quiet, and fecure \ 
and they fmote them with the edge of the fword, and 
burnt the city with fire. 

28 And there was no deliverer, becaufe it was far 
from Zidon, and they had no bufmefs with any man : 
and it was in the valley that lieth by Bethrehob : and 
they built a city, and dwelt therein. 

29 And they called the name of the city b Dan, after 
the name of Dan their father, who was born unto lfrael: 
howbeit, the name of the city was Laifh at the firft. 

30 H And the children of Dan fet up the graven im- 
age : and Jonathan the fon of Gerfhom, the fon of 
Manaffeh, he and his fons were priells to the tribe of 
Dan until the day of the captivity of the land. 

31 And they fet them up Micah's graven image,

HEN all the children of Ifrael went out, and the

folly in Ifrael. 

7 Behold, ye are all children of Ifrael ; give here 
your advice and eounfel. 

8 If And all the people arofe as one man, faying, 
We will not any ofus go to his tent, neither will we 
any ofus turn into his houfe : 

9 But now, this shall be the thing which we will do 
to Gibeah, we will go up by lot againfl it : 

10 And we will take ten men of an hundred through- 
out all the tribes of Ifrael, and an hundred of a thou- 
fand, and a thoufand out of ten thoufand, to fetch 
victual for the people, that they may do, when they 
come to Gibeah of Benjamin, according to all the 
folly that they have wrought in Ifrael. 

11 So all the men of Ifrael were gathered againd the 
city, f knit together as one man. 

12 And the tribes of Ifrael fent men through all the 
tribe of Benjamin T faying, What wickednefs is this 
that is done among you I 

13 Now, therefore, deliver us the men, the children 
of Belial, which are in Gibeah, that we may put them 
to death, and put away evil from Ifrael. But the chil- 
dren of Benjamin would not hearken to the voice of 
their brethren the children of Ifrael. 

14 But the children of Benjamin gathered fhem- 
felves together out of the cities unto Gibeah, to go out 
to battle againfl the children of Ifrael. 

15 And the children of Benjamin were numberedat 
that time, out of the cities.twenty and fix thoufand men 
that drew fword, befide the inhabitants of Gibeah, 
which were numbered leren hundred chofen men. 

16 Among all this people there were feven hundred 
achap.3 15. choien men a left handed : every one could fling (tones 

at an hair breadth, and not mils. 

17 And the men of Ifrael, befide Benjamin, were 
numbered four hundred thoufand men that drew 
fword : all thefe were men of war. 

18 If And the children of Ilrael arofe, and went up 
to the houfe of God, and alked eounfel of God, and 
laid, Which ofus fhall go up firlt to the battle againd 
the children of Benjamin I And the Lord laid, Judah 
shall go up nrft. 

19 And the children of Ifrael rofe up in the morn- 
ing, and encamped againft Gibeah. 

20 And the men of Ifrael went out to battle againft 
Benjamin ; and the men of Ifrael put themfelves in 
array to fight againft them at Gibeah. 

2i And the children of Benjamin came forth out 
of Gibeah, and deftroyed down to the ground of the 
Ifraelites that day twenty and two thoufand men. 

22 IF And the people, the men of Ifrael, encouraged 
themfelves, and let their battle again in array, in the 
place where they put themfelves in array the firft day. 

23 (And the children of Ifrael went up, and wept 
before the Lord until even, and afked counfelof the 
Lord, faying, Shall I go up again to battle againft the 
children of Benjamin my brother ? And the Lord 
laid, Go up againft them.) 

24 And the children of Ifrael came near againft the 
children of Benjamin the fecond day. 

25 And Benjamin went forth againft them out of 
Gibeah the fecond day, and deftroyed clown to the 
ground of the children of Ifrael again eighteen thou- 
fand men : all thefe drew the fword. 



26 U Then all the children of Ifrael, and all the 
people, went up, and came unto the houfe of God, 
and wept, and fat there before the Lord, and fafted 
that day until even, and offered burnt offerings and 
peace offerings before the Lord. 

27 And the children of Ifrael inquired of the L o r d , 
(for the ark of the covenant of God, was there in thofe 
days ; 

28 And Phinehas the fon of Eleazar, the fon of 
Aaron,, flood before it in thofe days,) faying, Shall I 
yet again go out to battle againft the children of Benja- 
min my brother, or fhall I ceafe ? And the Lord 
faid,, Go- up; for tomorrow I will deliver them into 
thine hand. 

29 H And Ifrael fet liers in wait round about Gibeah. 

30 And the children of Ifrael went up againft the 
children of Benjamin on the third day, and put them- 
felves in array againft Gibeah, as at other times. 

3 1 And the children of Benjamin went cut againft 
the people, and were drawn away from the city ; and 
they began f to finite of the people, andklll, as at other 
times, in the high ways, of which one goeth up. to 
|| the houfe of God, and the other to Gibeah in the 
field, about thirty men of Ifrael. 

32 And the children of Benjamin find, They are 
fmitten down before us as at the firlt. But the chil- 
dren of Ifrael faid, Let us flee, and. draw them from 
the city unto the highways. 

33 And all the men of Ifrael rofe up out of their 
place, and put themfelves in array at Baaltamar : and 
the liers in wait of Ifrael came forth outof their places, 
even out of the meadows of Gibeah. 

34 And there came againft Gibeah ten thoufand 
chofen men out of all Ifrael ; and the battle was fore : 
but they knew not that evil was near them. 

35 And the Lord fmote Benjamin before Ifrael : 
and the children of Ifrael deftroyed of the Benjamites 
that day twenty and five thoufand and an hundred 
men : all thefe drew the fword. 

36 So the children of Benjamin faw that they were 
fmitten : for the men of Ifrael gave place to the Ben- 
jamites, becaufe they traded unto the liers in wait 
which they had fet befide Gibeah. 

37 And the liers in wait haded, and ruflied upon 
Gibeah ; and the liers in wait || drew themselves along, 
and imote all the city with the edge of the fword. 

38 Now there was an appointed || lign between the 
men of Ifrael t and the liers in wait, that they fliould 
make a great t flame with fmoke to rife up out of the 
city. 

39 And when the men of Ifrael retired in the battle, 
Benjamin began f to fmite andk'ill of the men of Ilrael 
about thirty perfons ; for they faid, Surely they are 
fmitten down before us, as in the fird battle. 

40 But when "the flame began to iirife up outof the 
city with a pillar of fmoke, the Benjamites looked 
behind them, and, behold, f the flame of the city 
afcended up to heaven. 

41 And when the men of Ifrael turned again, the 
men of Benjamin were amazed : for they law that evil 
t was come upon them. 

42 Therefore they turned their backs before the 
men of Ifrael unto the way of the wildernefs ; but the 
battle overtook them : and them which came out of 
the cities, they deftroyed in the midd of them.

NOW the men of Ifrael had fworn in Mizpeh, 
faying, There fhall not any of us give his daugh- 
ter unto Benjamin to wife. 

2 And the people came to the home of God, and 
abode there till even before God, and lifted up their 
voices, and wept fore ; . . 

3 And faid, O Lord God of Ifrael, why is this 
come to pafs in Ifrael, that there fhould be today one 
tribe lacking in Ifrael ? 

4 And it came to pafs on the morrow, that the 
people rofe early, and built there an altar, and offered 
burnt offerings," and peace offerings. 

5 And the children of Ifrael faid, Who is there 
among all the tribes of Ifrael that came not up with 
the congregation unto the Lord ? for they had made 
a great oath concerning him that came not up to the 
Lord to Mizpeh, faying, He fhall furely be put to

Benjamin their brother, and faid, There is one tribe 
cut off from Ifrael this day : 

7 How fhall we do for wives for them that remain, 
feeing we have fworn by the Lord, that we will not 
give them of our daughters to wives ? 

8 H And they faid, What one is there of the tribes 
of Ifrael that came not up to Mizpeh to the Lord ? 
and, behold, there came none to the camp from Ja- 
befhgilead to the affembly. 

9 For the people were numbered, and, behold, there 
were none of the inhabitants of Jabefhgilead there. 

10 And the congregation fent thither twelve thou-

E S. The Benjamites surprise the virgins at Shiloh, 

faying, Go and finite the inhabitants of Jabefhgilead 
with the edge of the fword, with the women and the 
children. 

11 And this is the thing that ye fhall do, a Ye fhall 
utterly deftroy every male, and every woman that 
t hath lain by man. 

12 And they found among the inhabitants of Ja- 
befhgilead four hundred t young virgins, that had 
known no man by lying with any male : and they £ " 
brought them unto the camp to Shiloh, which is in 
the land of Canaan. 

13 And the whole congregation fent some t to fpeak 
to the children of Benjamin that were in the rock 
Rimmon, and to || call peaceably unto them. 

14 And Benjamin came again at that time ; and 
they gave them wives which they had faved alive of 
the women of Jabefhgilead : and yet fo they fufficed 
them not. 

15 And the people repented them for Benjamin, 
becaufe that the Lord had made a breach in the tribes 
of Ifrael. 

16 H Then the elders of the congregation faid, How 
fhall we do for wives for them that remain, feeing the 
women are deftroy ed out of Benjamin ? 

17 And they faid, There must be an inheritance for 
them that be efcaped of Benjamin, that a tribe be not 
deftroyed out of Ifrael. 

18 Howbeit, we may not give them wives of our 
daughters ; for the children of Ifrael have fworn, fay- 
ing, Curfed be he tiiat giveth a wife to Benjamin. 

19 Then they faid, Behold, there is a feaft of the 
Lord in Shiloh f yearly, in a place which is on the 
north fide of Bethel, || on the eaft fide || of the high- 
way that goeth up from Bethel to Shechem, and on 
the fouth of Lebonah. 

20 Therefore they commanded the children of Ben- 
jamin, faying, Go and lie in wait in the vineyards ; 

21 And fee, and, behold, if the daughters of Shiloh 
come out to dance in dances, then come ye out of the 
vineyards, and catch you every man his wife of the 
daughters of Shiloh, and go to the land of Benja- 
min. 

22 And it fhall be, when their fathers or their 
brethren come unto us to complain, that we will fay 
unto them, || Be favourable unto them for our fakes ; 
becaufe we referved not to each man his wife in the f th£L m 
war : for ye did not give unto them at this time, that 
ye fhould be guilty. 

23 And the children of Benjamin did fo, and took 
them wives, according to their number, of them that 
danced, whom they caught, and they went and re- 
turned unto their inheritance, and repaired the cities, 
and dwelt in them. 

24 And the children of Ifrael departed thence at that 
time, every man to his tribe, and to his family, and 
they went out from thence every man to his inherit- 
ance.

Elimelech, driven by famine into Moab, dieth there, 
as do also bis sons Mahlon and Chilian, who bad 
married wives of Moab. 6 Naomi, preparing to go 
home, dissuadetb her daughters in law from going 
with her ; Orpah leaveth her, but Ruth, with great 
constancy, accompaniethher : 19 they two come to 
Bethlehem, and arc gladly received. 

NOW it came to pafs, in the days when the judges 
t ruled, that there was a famine in the land ; and' 
a certain man of Bethlehem) udah went to fojourn in 
the country of Moab, he, and his wife, and his two 
fons. 

2 And the name of the man was Elimelech, and 
the name of his wife Naomi, and the name of his two 
fons Mahlon and Chilion, Ephrathites of Bethlehem- 
judah : and they came into the country of Moab, and 

•ynth.wre. 1 continued there. 

3 And Elimelech, Naomi's hufband, died ; and fhe 
was left, and her two fons. 

4 And they took them wives of the women of 
Moab ; the name of the one was Orpah, and the 
name of the other Ruth : and they dwelled there about 
ten years. 

5 And Mahlon and Chilion died alfo both of them, 
and the woman was left of her two fons and her hufband. 

6 If Then fhe arofe with her daughters in law, that 
flie might return from the country of Moab : for fhe 
had heard in the country of Moab, how that the Lord 
had vifited his people in giving them bread. 

7 Wherefore fhe went forth out of the place where 
flie Was, and her two daughters in law with her : and 
they went on the way to return unto the land of Judah. 

8 And Naomi faid unto her two daughters in law, 
Go, return each to her mother's houfe : the Lord 
deal kindly with you, as ye have dealt with the dead 
and with me. 

9 The Lord grant you that ye may find reft, each 
of you in the houie of her hufband. Then flie kiffed 
them : and they lifted up their voice, and wept. 

10 And they faid unto her, Surely we will return 
with thee unto thy people. 

11 And Naomi faid, Turn again, my daughters : 
why will ye go with me ? are there yet any more fons 
in my womb, that they may be your hufbands ? 

12 Turn again, my daughters ; go your way ; for 
I am too old to have an hufband. If I fhould fay, I 
have hope, || if I fhould have an hufband alfo to night, 
and fhould alio bear fons ; 

13 Would ye f tarry for them till they were grown ? 
would ye flay for them from having hufbands ? nay,

S. ' r ' fakes, that the hand of the Lord is gone out againft me. 

14 And they lifted up their voice, and wept again : 
and Orpah killed her mother in law ; but Ruth clave 
unto her. 

15 And flie faid, Behold, thy filler in law is gone 
back unto her people, and unto her gods : return thou 
after thy filler in law. 

11 or. ne not 16 And Ruth faid, || entreat me not to leave thee, or

3 And fhe went, and came and gleaned in the field 

after the reapers : and her t hap was to light on a part J5^|* 
of the field belonging unto Boaz, who was of the kind- 
red of Elimelech. 

4 H And, behold, Boaz came from Bethlehem, and 
faid unto the reapers, The Lord be with you. And 
they anfwered him, The Lord blefs thee. 

5 Then faid Boaz unto his fervant that was fet over 
the reapers, Whofe damfel is this ? 

6 And the fervant that was fet over the reapers 
anfwered and faid, ItMtheMoabitifh damfel that came

7 And fhe faid, I pray you, let me glean and gather 
after the reapers among the fheaves: fo flie came, and 
hath continued even from the morning until now, that 
fhe tarried a little in the houfe. 

8 Then faid Boaz unto Ruth, Heareft thou not, my

from hence, but abide here faft by my maidens. 

9 Let thine eyes be on the field that they do reap, 
and go thou after them : have I not charged the young

hither, and eat of the bread, and dip thy morfel in the

reached her parched com, and fhe did eat, and was 
funiced, and left. 

15 And when fhe was rifen up to glean, Boaz com-

16 And let fall alfo some of the handfuls of purpofe 
for her, and leave them, that fhe may glean them, and 
rebuke her not. 

17 So lhe gleaned in the field until even, and beat 
out that lhe had gleaned ; and it was about an ephah

18 H And flie took it up, and went into the city ;

19 And her mother in law faid unto her, Where haft 
thou gleaned today ? and where wroughteft thou ? 
Bleffed be he that did take knowledge of thee. And 
fhe Ihewed her mother in law with whom fhe had 
wrought, and faid, The man's name with whom I 
wrought today, is Boaz. 

20 And Naomi faid unto her daughter in law, Bleff-

unto her, The man is near of kin unto us, || one of

21 And Ruth the Moabitefs faid, He faid unto me

.1- My daughter, fhall I not leek reft for thee, that it 
may be well with thee ? 

2 And now is not Boaz of our kindred, with whofe 
maidens thou waft ? behold, he winnoweth barley to 
night in the threlbing floor. 

3 Wain thyfelf, therefore, and anoint thee, and 
put thy raiment upon thee, and get thee down to the 
floor : but make not thyfelf known unto the man, un- 
til he fhall have done eating and drinking. 

4 And it fhall be, when" he lieth down that thou 
fhalt mark the place where he fhall lie, and thou fhalt 

2 



go in, and || uncover his feet, and lay thee down ; and 
he will tell thee what thou fhalt do. 

5 And lhe faid unto her, All that thou fayeft unto 
me, I will do. 

6 H And lhe went down unto the floor, and did ac- 
cording to all that her mother in law bade her. 

7 And when Boaz had eaten and drunk, and his 
heart was merry, he went to lie down at the end of 
the heap of corn : and flie came foftly, and uncovered 
his feet, and laid her down. 

8 "fl And it came to pafs at midnight, that the man 
was afraid, and i! turned himfelf; and, behold, a wo- 
man lay at his feet. 

9 And he laid, Who art thou ? And flie anfwered, I 
am Ruth thine handmaid : fpread, therefore, thy Ikirt 
over thine handmaid ; for thou art || a near kinfman. 

10 And he faid, Bleffed be thou of the Lord, my 
daughter : for thou haft fhewed more kindnefs in the 
latter end than at the beginning, inafmuch as thou fol- 
io wedft not young men, whether poor or rich. 

11 And now, my daughter,, fear not, I will do to 
thee all that thou requireft : for all the \ city of my 
people doth know that thou art a virtuous woman. 

12 And now it is true that I am thy near kinfman : 
howbeit, there is a kinfman nearer than I. 

13 Tarry this night, and it fhall be in the mornings 
that if he will perform unto thee the part of a kinf- 
man, well : let him do the kinfman's part : but if he 
will not do the part of a kinfman to thee, then will I 
do the part of a kinfman to thee,, as the Lord liveth ; 
lie down until the morning. 

14 U Andihe lay at his feet until the morning: and flie 
rofe up before one could know another. And he faid, 
Let it not be known that a woman came into the floor. 

15 Alfo he faid, Bring the || veil that thou hast upon 
thee, and hold it. And when flie held it, he meafured 
fix measures of barley, and laid it on her : and fhe 
went into the city. 

16 And when fhe came to her mother in law, flie 
faid, Who art thou, my daughter ? And flie told her 
all that the man had done to her. 

17 And flie faid, Thefe fix measures of barley gave 
he me : for he faid to me, Go not empty unto thy 
mother in law. 

18 Then faid flie, Sit ftill, my daughter, until thou 
know how the matter will fall : for the man will not 
be in reft, until he have finilhed the thing this day.

for there is none to redeem it bende thee, and I am

5 Then faid Boaz, What day thou buyeft the field

name of the dead upon his inheritance. 

6 II And the kinfman laid, I cannot redeem it for

my right to thyfelf ; for I cannot redeem it. _ 

7 a Now this was the manner in former time in If- 
rael, concerning redeeming, and concerning changing, 
for to confirm ail things ; a man plucked offhis ihoe. 
and gave it to his neighbour : and this was a teftimo- 
ny in Ifrael. 

* 8 Therefore the kinfman faid unto Boaz, Buy it for

people, Ye arc witnefles this day, that I have bought 
all that was Elimelech's, and all that was Chilion's, 
and Mahlon's, of the hand of Naomi. 

10 Moreover, Ruth the Moabitefs, the wife of Mah- 
Ion, have Ipurchafed to be my wife, to raife up the 
name of the dead upon his inheritance, that the name 
of the dead be not cut off from among his brethren, and 
from the gate of his place : ye are witnefles this day. 

11 And all the people that were in the gate, and 
the elders, faid, We are witnefles. The Lord make

and like Leah, which two did build the houfe of Ifrael; 



I. God rememhtreth Hannah,

13 Tf So Boaz took Ruth, and fhe was his wife : 
and, when he went in unto her, the Lord gave her

2 And he had two wives ; the name of the one w^ 
Hannah, and the name of the other Peninnah ; and

UEL A prophecy against Elis Borne. 

11 AndElkanah wenttoRamah to his houfe ; and the 
child didminifter unto the Lord before Eli the priefl. 

12 If Now the tons of Eli were fans of Belial ; they 
knew not the Lord. 

13 And the priefl's cuftom with the people was, 
that when any man offered facrifice, the priefl's fer- 
vant came, while the flefh was in feething, with a 
fiefhhook of three teeth in his hand ; 

14 And he flruck it into the pan, or kettle, or cal- 
dron, or pot : all that the fiefhhook brought up, the 
priefl took for himfehv So they did in Shiloh unto 
all the Ifraelites that came thither. 

15 Alfo, before they burnt the fat,, the priefl's fer- 
vant came, and faid to the man that facrifked, Give 
flefh to roafl for the priefl ; for he will not have fod- 
den flefh of thee, but raw. 

16 And if any man faid unto him, Let them not 
fail to burn the fat t prefently, and then take as much 
as thy foul defireth ; then he would anfwer him, Nay, 
but thou fhalt give it me now :. and if not, I will take 
it by force , 

17 Wherefore the fin of the young men was very 
great before the Lord ; for men abhorred the offer- 
ing of the Lord. 

18 If But Samuel miniflered before the Lord, being 
a child d girded with a linen ephod. 

19 Moreover, his mother made him a little coat, 
and brought it to him from year to year, when fhe 
came up with her hufband to offer the yearly facrifice, 

20 If And Eli bleffed Elkanah and his wife, and 
faid, The Lord give thee feed of this woman for the 
|| loan which is lent to the Lord. And they went 
unto their own home. 

21 And the Lord vifited Hannah, fo that fhe con- 
ceived and bare three fons and two daughters. And 
the child Samuel grew before the Lord. 

22 II Now Eli was very old, and heard all that his 
fons did unto all Ifrael ;. and how they lay with the 
women that t affembled at the door of the tabernacle tH f, b

of the congregation.

judge him : but if a man fin againfl the Lord, who 
fhall entreat for him ? Notwithstanding they heark- 
ened not unto the voice of their father, becaufe the 
Lord would flay them. 

26 And the child Samuel grew on, and was in fa- 
vour both with the Lord, and alfo with men. 

27 If And there came a man of God unto Eli, and 
faid unto him, Thus faith the Lord, Did I plainly 
appear unto the houfe of thy father, when they were 
in Egypt in Pharaoh's houfe ? 

28 And did I choofe him out of all the tribes of 
Ifrael to be my priefl, to offer upon mine altar, to 
burn incenfe, to wear an ephod before me ? and e did 
I give unto the houfe of thy father all the offerings 
made by fire of the children of Ifrael ? 

29 Wherefore kick ye at my facrifice, and at mine 
offering, which I have commanded in my habitation ; 
and honourefl thy fons above me, to make yourfelves 
fat with the chiefeft of all the offerings of Ifrael my 
people ?

31 Behold the days come, that I will cut off thine,

1 How the word of the Lord was first 7'evealed to 
Samuel. 11 God sheweth to Santuel the destruction 
of Eli's house. 15 Samuel, adjured by Eli, telle tb 
him the 'vision. 19 Samuel acknowledged for a 
prophet in Israel. 

N D the child Samuel miniftered unto the Lord 

before Eli. And the word of the Lord^ was 

precious in thofe days ; there was no open vifion. 

2 And it came to pafs at that time, when Eli was 
laid down in his place, and his eyes began to wax 
dim, that he could not fee ; 

3 And ere the lamp of God went out in the temple 
of the Lord, where the ark of God was, and Samuel 
was laid down to sleep ; 

4 That tl*e Lord called Samuel : and he anfwered, 
Here am I. 

5 And he ran unto Eli, and laid, Here am I ; for 
thou calledft me. And he laid, I called not ; lie down 
again. And he went and lay down. 

6 And the Lord called vet again, Samuel. And 
Samuel aroie, and went to Eli, and faid, Here am I ; 
for thou diclit call me. < And he anfwered, I called not, 
my fon ; lie down again. 

7 || Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, nei- 
ther was the word of the Lord yet revealed unto him. 

8 And the Lord called Samuel again the third 
time. Andhearofe, and went to Eli, and faid, Here 
am I ; for thou didft call me. And Eli perceived that 
the Lord had called the child. 

9 Therefore Eli faid unto Samuel, Go, lie down ; 
and it iliall be, if he call thee, that thou fhalt fay, 
Speak, Lord ; for thy fervant heareth. So Samuel 
,.. cnt and lay down in his place. 

10 And the Lord came, and flood, and called as at 
other times, Samuel, Samuel ! Then Samuel anfwer- 
ed, Speak ; for thy fervant heareth.

15 H And Samuel lay until the morning, and opened 
the doors of the houle of the Lord. And Samuel 
feared to fhe w Eli the vifion. 

16 Then Eli called Samuel, and faid, Samuel, my 
fon. And he anfwered, Here am I. 

17 And he faid, What is the thing that the LORD 
hath faid unto thee ? I pray thee hide it not from me : 
God do fo to thee, and f more alfo, if thou hide any *

18 And Samuel told him t every whit, and hid ]£%£*, 
nothing from him. And he faid, It is the Lord; let or > ■»"•*■ 
him do what feemeth him good. 

19 If And Samuel grew, and the Lord was with 
him, and did let none of his words fall to the ground. 

20 And all Ifrael, from Dan even to Beerfheba, 
knew that Samuel was II eflablifhed to be a prophet of 
the Lord. 

21 And the Lord appeared again in Shiloh : for 
the Lord revealed himfelfto Samuel in Shiloh, by

bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the Lord

the two fons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there 
with the ark of the covenant of God. 

5 And when the ark of the covenant of the Lord 
came into the camp, all Ifrael fhouted with a great

Philiftines ! that ye be not fervants unto the Hebrews,

men, and fight. 

• 10 If And the Philiftines fought, and Ifrael was 

fmitten, and they fled every man into his tent : and 

there was a very great flaughter ; for there fell of Ifrael 

thirty thoufand footmen. 

11 And the ark of God was taken ; and the two

12 If And there ran a man of Benjamin out of the 
army, and came to Shiloh the fame day with his 
clothes rent, and with earth upon his head. 

13 And when he came, lo, Eli fat upon a feat by 
the way fide watching : for his heart trembled for the 
ark of God. And when the man came into the city 
and told it, all the city cried out. 

.14 And when Eli heard the noife of the crying, he 
faid, What meancth the noife of this tumult ? And 
the man came in haftily, and told Eli. 

15 Now Eli was ninety and eight years old ; and 
b his eyes \ were dim, that he could not fee. 

16 And the man faid unto Eli, I am he that came 
out of the army, and I fled to day out of the army.

God is taken. 

18 And it came to pafs, when he made mention of 
the ark of God, that he fell from off the feat backward, 
by the fide of the gate, and his neck brake, and he 
died ; for he was an old man, and heavy : and he had 
judged Ifrael forty years. 

19 II And his daughter in law, Phinehas' wife, was

AND the Philiftines took the ark of God, and 
brought it from Ebenezer unto Afhdod. 

2 When the Philiftines took the ark of God, they ' 
brought it into the houfe of Dagon, and fet it by Dagon. 

3 If And when they of Afhdod arofe early on the 
morrow, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to 
the earth before the ark of the L r d . And they took 
Dagon, and fet him in his place again. 

4 And when they arofe early on the morrow morn- 
ing, behold, Dagon was fallen upon his face to the 
ground before the ark of the Lord ; and the head of 
Dagon, and both the palms of his hands were cut off 
upon the threfhold ; only 11 the stump of Dagon was nor, the 
left to him. Hsh > * arU 

5 Therefore, neither the priefts of Dagon, nor any 
that come into Dagon's houfe, tread on the threfhold 
of Dagon in Afhdod unto this day. 

6 IfBut the hand oftheLoRD was heavy upon them 
of Afhdod, and he deftroyed them, and fmote them 
with a emerods, even Afhdod, and the coafts thereof. 

7 And when the men of Afhdod faw that it was fo, 
they faid, The ark of the God of Ifrael fhall not abide 
with us ; for his hand is fore upon us, and upon Dagon 
our God. 

8 1 They fent, therefore, and gathered all the lords 
of the Philiftines unto them, and faid, What fhall we 
do with the ark of the God of Ifrael ? And they an- 
fwered, Let the ark of the God of Ifrael be carried 
about unto Gath. And they carried the ark of the 
God of Ifrael about thither. 

9 And it was so, thatafter they had carried it about, 
the hand of the Lord was tigainit the city with a very 
great deflrutSlion : and he fmote the men of the city, 
both fmall and great, and they had emerods in their 
fecret parts. 

10 If Therefore, they fent me ark of God to Ekron. 
And it came to pafs, as the ark of God came to Ekron, 
that the Ekronites cried out, faying, They have 
brought about the ark of the God of Ifrael to us, to 
flay us and our people. 

1 1 So they fent and gathered together all the lords 
of the Philiftines, and faid, Send away the ark of the 
God of Ifrael, and let it go again to his own place, that 
it flay us not, and our people : for there was a deadly 
deftruclion throughout all the city ; the hand of God 
was very heavy there. 

12 And the men that died not, were fmitten with 
the emerods ; and the cry of the citv went up to heaven.

1 After seven months, the Philistines take counsel how 
to send back the ark : 10 They bring it on a new 
cart, with an offering, unto Bethshemesh. 19 The 
Bethshemites are smitten for looking bito the ark : 
21 they send to the inhabit ants of Kirjathjearim to 
fetch it. 

AN D the ark of Jthe Lord was in the country of 
the Philiftines feven months. 

2 And the Philiftines called for the priefts and the 
diviners, faying, What fhall we do to the ark of the 
Lord ? tell us wherewith we fhall fend it to his place. 

3 And they faid, If ye fend away the ark of the God 
of Ifrael, fend it not empty ; but in any wife return 
him a trefpafs offering : then ye fhall be healed, and 
it fhall be known to you why his hand is not removed 
from you.

which we fhall return to him ? They anfwered, Five 
golden emerods, and five golden mice, according to 
the number of the lords of the Philiftines : for one 
plague was on t you ail, and on your lords. 

5 Wherefore, ye fhall make images of your eme- 
rods, and images of your mice that mar the land ; and 
ye fhall give glory unto the God of Ifrael : peradven- 
ture he will lighten his hand from off you, and irom 
off your gods, and from off your land. 

6 Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, as the 
Egyptians and Pharaoh hardened their hearts I when 
he had wrought || wonderfully among them, a did they 
not let t the people go, and they departed ? 

7 Now, therefore, make a new cart, and take two 
milch kine, on which there hath come no yoke, and 
tie the kine to the cart, and bring their calves home 
from them : 

8 And take the ark of the Lord, and lay it upon 
the cart ; and put the jewels of gold, which ye return 
him for a trefpafs offering, in a coffer by the fide 
thereof ; and fend it away, that it may go. 

9 And fee, if it goeth up by the way of his own coalt 
to Bethfhemefh, then || he hath done us this great evil : 
but if not, then we iliall know that it is not his hand 
that fmote us ; it was a chance that happened to us. 

10 If And the men did fo ; and took two milch 
kine, and tied them to the cart, and fhut up their 
calves at home : 

11 And they laid the ark of the Lord upon the 
cart, and the coffer with the mice of gold, and the 
images of their emerods. 

12 And the kine took the ftraight way to the way of 
Bethfhemefh, and went along the highway, lowing as 
they went, and turned not afide to the right hand or to 
the left ; and the lords of the Philiftines went after 
them unto the border of Bethfhemefh. 

13 And they of Bethfhemefh were reaping their 
wheat harveft in the valley : and they lifted up their 
eyes, and faw the ark, and rejoiced to fee it. 

14 And the cart came into the field of Jofhua a 
Bethfhemite, and flood there, where there was a great 
flone : and they clave the wood of the cart, and offer- 
ed the kine a burnt offering unto the Lord. 

15 And the Levitestook down the ark of the Lord, 
and the coffer that was with it, wherein the jewels of 
gold were, and put them on the great flone : and the 
men of Bethfhemefh offered burnt offerings, and 
facrificed facrifices. the fame day unto the Lord. 

16 And when the five lords of the Philiftines had 
feen it, they returned to Ekron the fame day. > 

17 And thefe are the golden emerods, which the 
Philiftines returned for a trefpafs offering unto the 
Lord ; for Afhdod one, for Gaza one, for Afkelon 
one, for Gath one, for Ekron one : 

18 And the golden mice, according to the number 
of all the cities of the Philiftines belonging to the five 
lords, loth of fenced cities and of country villages, 
even unto the I great stone of Abel, whereon they 
let down the ark of the Lord : which stone remaincth 
unto this day in the field of Jofhua the Bethfhemite. 

19 H And he fmote the men of Bethfhemifh, becaufe 
they had looked into the ark of the Lord, even he 
fmote of the people fifty thoufand and threefcore and 
ten men. And the people lamented, becaufe the Lord 
had fmitten many of the people with a great (laughter. 
I 20 And the men of Bethlhemefh faid, Who is able 



1 to (land before this holy Lord God ? and to whom 

fhall he go up from us ? 
21 If And they fent meffengers to the inhabitants of 

Kirjathjearim, faying, The Philiftines have brought 

again the ark of the Lord ; come ye down, and fetch 

it up to you. 

C H A P. VII. 

1 The ark brought into the house of Abinadab at Kir- 
jathjearim, and Eleazar his son is sanctified to keep 
it. 3 After twenty years, the Israelites, at the ex- 
hortation of Samuel, solemnly repent at Mizpeh. 7 
The Philistines go up against Israel. 9 While Sam- 
uel pray eth and sacrifice ih, the Lord discern fiteth 
the Philistines by thunder at Ebenezer. 13 The 
Philistines are subdued. 15 Samuel peaceably and 
religiously judgeth Israel. 

AN D the men of Kirjathjearim came, and fetched 
up the ark of the Lord, and brought it into the 
houfe of Abinadab in the hill, and fanclified Eleazar 
his fon to keep the ark of the Lord. 

2 And it came to pafs, while the ark abode in Kirjath- 
jearim, that the time was long ; for it was twenty years : 
and all the houfe of Ifrael lamented after the Lord. 

3 H And Samuel fpake unto all the houfe of Ifrael, 
faying, If ye do return unto the Lord with all your 
hearts, then a put away the flrange gods and b Afhta- 
roth from among you, and prepare your hearts unto 
the Lord, and c ferve him only, and he will deliver 
you out of the hand of the Philiftines. 

4 Then the children of Ifrael did put away d Baalim 
and Afhtaroth, and ferved the Lord only. 

5 And Samuel faid, Gather all Ifrael to Mizpeh, 
and I will pray for you unto the Lord. 

6 And they gathered together to Mizpeh, and drew 
water, and poured it out before the Lord, and failed 
on that day, and faid there, We have finned againft 
the Lord. And Samuel judged the children of 
Ifrael in Mizpeh.. 

7 H And when the Philiftines heard that the chil- 
dren of Ifrael were gathered together to Mizpeh, the 
lords of the Philiftines went up againft Ifrael : and 
when the children of Ifrael heard it, they were afraid 
of the Philiftines. 

8 And the children of Ifrael faid to Samuel, f Ceafe 
not to cry unto the Lord our God for us, that he will 
fave us out of the hand of the Philiftines. 

9 H And Samuel took a fucking lamb, and offered 
it for a burnt offering wholly unto the Lord ; and 
Samuel cried unto the Lord for Ifrael ; and the Lord 
|| heard him. ■' 

10 And as Samuel was offering up the burnt offer- 
ing, the Philiftines drew near to battle againft Ifrael : 
but the Lord thundered with a great thunder on that 
day upon the Philiftines, and diicomfited them ; and 
they were fmitten before Ifrael. 

11 And the men of Ifrael went out of Mizpeh, and 
purfued the Philiftines, and fmote them, until they 
came under Bethcar. 

12 Then Samuel took a flone, and fet it between 
Mizpeh and Shen, and called the name of it || Eben- 
ezer, faying, Hitherto hath the Lord helped us. 

13 If So the Philiftines were fubdued, and they came 
no more into the coaft of Ifrael ; and the hand of the 
Lord was againft the Philiftines all the days of Samuel.

1 By occasion of the ill government of Samuel's sons 
the Israelites ask a king. 6 Samuel is displeased, 
and pray eth ; he is comforted by God: 10 he sheweth 
the manner of a king. 19 They continue their im- . 
portunity, and God directeth Samuel to yield to the 
people. 
C ir. ma. A N D it came to pafs, when Samuel was old, that 

J\. he made his fons judges over Ifrael.

name of his fecond Abiah : they were judges in Beer- 
iheba. 

3 And his fons walked not in his ways, but turned 
aSffit. re i S - olide after lucre, and a took bribes, and perverted 

judgment. 

4 Then all the elders of Ifrael gathered themielves 
together, and came to Samuel unto Ramah, 

5 And faid unto him, Behold, thou art old, and thy 
fons walk not in thy ways : now b make us a king to 
judge us, like all the nations. 

6 II But the thing t difpleafed Samuel, when they 
faid, Give us a king to judge us. And Samuel pray- 
ed unto the Lord. 

7 And the Lord faid unto Samuel, Hearken unto 
the voice of the people in all that they fay unto thee : 
for they have not rejected thee, but they have reject- 
ed me, that I fhould not reign over them. 

8 According to all the works which they have done 
fince the day that I brought them up out of Egypt, 
even unto this day, wherewith they have forfaken me, 
and ferved other gods ; 10 do they alfo unto thee. 

9 Now, therefore, j| hearken unto their voice : 11 how- 
beit yet proteft folemnly unto them, and fhew them 
the manner of the king that fhall reign over them. 

10 II And Samuel told all the words of the Lord 
unto the people that alked of him a king. 

11 And he faid, This will be the manner of the king 
that fhall reign over you : He will take your fons, and 
appoint them for himfelf, for his chariots, and to be his 
horfemen ; and some fhall run before his chariots. 

12 And he will appoint him captains over thoufands, 
and captains over fifties, and and will set them to ear 
his ground, and to reap his harveft, and to make his 
inftruments of war, and inftruments of his chariots. 

13 And he will take your daughters to be confec- 
tionaries, and to be cooks, and to be bakers. 

14 And he will take your fields, and your vine-

give them to his fervants.

Samuel both of his coming and his appointment to

Samuel, after secret communication, bringeth Saul

the children of Ifrael a goodlier perfon than he : from

3 And the affes of Kifh, Saul's father were loft ; 
and Kifh faid to Saul hisfon, Take now one of the 
fervants with thee, and arife, go feek the affes. 

4 And he paffed through mount Ephraim, and 
paffed through the land of Shalifha, but they found 
them not : then they paffed through the land of Sba- 
lim, and there they were not ; and he paffed through 
the land of the Benjamites, but they found them not. 

5 Andwh.cn they were come to the landofZuph, 
Saul faid to his fervant that was with him, Come, and 
let us return ; left my father leave caring for the affes, 
and take thought for us. 

6 And he faid unto him, Behold now, there is in 
this city a man of God, and he is an honourable man ; 
all that he faith, cometh furely to pafs : now, let us 
go thither ; peradventure he can fhew us our way,

about t this time ye fhail find him. 

14 And they went up into the city : andvibsxv they 
were come into the city, behold, Samuel came out 
againft them, for to go up to the high place. 

15 U b Now, the Lord had f told Samuel in his 
ear a day before Saul came, faying, 

16 Tomorrow about this time, I will fend thee a 
man out of the land of Benjamin, and thou fhalt anoint 
him to be captain over my people Ifrael, that he may 
lave my people out of the hand of the Philiftines ; for 
I have looked upon my people, becaufe their cry is 
come unto me. 

17 And when Samuel faw Saul, the Lord faid un- 
to him, Behold the man whom I fpake to thee of! 
this fame fhall \ reign over my people. 

18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, and 
faid, Tell me, I pray thee, where the feer's houfe is. 

19 And Samuel anfwered Saul, and faid, I am the 
feer : go up before me unto the high place ; for ye 
fhall eat with me today ; and tomorrow I will let 
thee go, and will tell thee all that is in thine heart. 

20 And as for thine affes, that were loll t three days 
ago, fet not thy mind on them ; for they are found. 
And on whom is all the defire of Ifrael ? is it not on 
thee, and on all thy father's houfe ? 

21 And Saul anfwered and faid, Am not I a Benja- 
mite, of the fmalleft of the tribes of Ifrael ? and my 
family the leaft of all the families of the tribe of Ben- 
jamin ? wherefore, then, fpeakeft thou t fo to me ? 

22 And Samuel took Saul and his fervant, and 
brought them into the parlour, and made them fit in 
the chiefcft place among them that were bidden, 
which were about thirty perfons. 

23 And Samuel faid unto the cook, Bring the por- 
tion which I gave thee, of which I faid unto thee, Set 
it by thee. 

24 And the cook took up the fhoulder, and that 
which was upon it, and let it before Saul. And Sam- 
uel faid, Behold that which is || left ! fet it before thee, 
and eat ; for unto this time hath it been kept for thee 
lince I faid, I have invited the people. So Saul did 
eat with Samuel that day. 

25 If And when they were come down from the

upon the top of the houfe. 

26 And they arofe early : and it came to pafs abouf 
the fpring of the day, that Samuel called Saul to the 
top of the houfe, faying, Up, that I may fend thee 
away. And Saul arofe, and they went out both of 
them, he and Samuel, abroad. 

27 And, as they were going down to the end of the

THEN Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it 
upon his head, and khTed him, and laid, Is it 
not becaufe the Lord hath anointed thee to fo captain. 
over his inheritance ? 

2 When thou art departed from me today, then 
thou lhalt find two men by a Rachel's fepulchre, in the 
border of Benjamin, atZelzah ; and they will fay unto 
thee, The affes which thou wentelt to feek, are found: 
and, lo, thy father hath left f the care of the affes, and 
forroweth for you, faying, What fhall I do for my fon ? 

3 Then lhalt thou go on forward from thence, and 
thou lhalt come to the plain of Tabor, and there fhall 
meet thee three men going up to God to Bethel, one 
carrying three kids, and another carrying three loaves 
of bread, and another carrying a bottle of wine : 

4 And they will ffalute thee, and give thee twoloaves 
of bread ; which thou lhalt receive of their hands. 

5 After that thou lhalt come to the hill of God, where 
is the garrifon of the Philiftines : and it fhall come to 
pafs, when thou art come thither to the city, that thou 
lhalt meet a company of prophets coming down from 
the high place with a pfaltery, and a tabret, and a pipe, 
and a harp, before them ; and they fhall prophefy. 

6 And the Spirit of the Lord will come upon thee, 
and thou lhalt prophefy with them, and lhalt be turn- 
ed into another man. 

7 And f let it be, when thefe figns are come unto 
thee, t that thou do as occalion lhall ferve thee ; for 
God is with thee. 

8 And thou lhalt go down before me to Gilgal ; 
ancl behold, I will come down unto thee, to offer 
burnt offerings, and to facrifice facrifices of peace of- 
ferings : b feven days lhalt thou tarry, till I come to ^ cl 8 ,a P 
thee, and fhew thee what thou fhalt do. 

9 If And it was so, that when he had turned his f 
back to go from Samuel, God f gave him another 
heart : and all thofe figns came to pafs that day. 

10 Ancl when they came thither to the hill, behold, 
a company of prophets met him ; and the Spirit of God 
came upon him, and he prophefied among them. 

1 1 And it came to pafs, when all that knew him 
beforetime faw, that, behold, he prophefied among 
the prophets, then the people laid f one to another, 
What is this that is come unto the fon of Kifli ? c is 
Saul alio among the prophets ? 

12 And one f of the fame place anfwered and faid, 
But who is their father ? Therefore it became a prov- 
erb, Is Saul alfo among the prophets ? 

13 And when he had made an end of prophefy ing, 
lie came to the high place. 

14 If And Saul's uncle faid unto him, and to his 
fervant, Whither went ye ? And he faid, To feek the 
affes ; and when we faw that they were no where, we 
came to Samuel. 

15 And Saul's uncle faid, Tell me, I pray thee, 
what Samuel faid unto you. 

16 Ancl Saul faid unto his uncle, He told us plain'y 
that the affes were found. But of the matter of the 
kingdom, whereof Samuel fpake, he told him not. 

17 Tf And Samuel called the people together unto 
the Lord to Mizpeh, 

18 And faid unto the children of Ifrael, Thus faith

20 And when Samuel had caufed ail the tribes of 
Ifrael to come near, the tribe of Benjamin was taken. 

21 When he had caufed the tribe of Benjamin to 
come near by their families, the family of Matri was 
taken, and Saul the fon of Kifh was taken : and when 
they fought him, he could not be found. 

22 Therefore they inquired of the Lord further, 
if the man fhould yet come thither. And theLoR d an- 
fwered, Behold, he hath hid himfelf among the fluff. 

23 And they ran and fetched him thence : and when 
he Hood among the people, he was higher than any of 
the people from his fhoulders and upward.

whom the Lord hath chofen, that there is none like 
him among all the people ? And all the people fhout-

4 IF Then carne the meffengers to Gibeah of Saul, 
and told the tidings in the ears of the people : and all 
the people lifted up their voices, and wept. 

5 And, behokl, Saul came after the herd out of the 
field ; and Saul faid, What aileth the people that they 
weep ? And they told him the tidings of the men of 
Jabefh. 

6 And the Spirit of God came upon Saul when he 
heard thofe tidings, and his anger was kindled greatly.

I. SAMUEL. 



Samuel reproveth the people. 



8 And when he numbered 'them in Bezek, the 
children of Ifrael were three hundred thoufand, and 
the men of Judah thirty thoufand. 

9 And they faid unto the meffengers that came, 
Thus lhall ye fay unto the men of Jabefhgilead, To- 
morrow, by that time the fun be hot, ye fhall have 

|| help. And the meffengers came, and fhewed it to »° 
the men of Jabefh ; and they were glad. 

10 Therefore the men of Jabefh faid, Tomorrow 
we will come out unto you, and ye fhall do with us 
all that feemeth good unto you. 

1 1 And it was so on the morrow, that Saul put the 
people in three companies ; and they came into the 
midft of the hofl in the morning watch, and flew the 
Ammonites until the heat of the day : and it came to 
pats, that they which remained were fcattered, fo that 
two of them were not left together. 

12 IF And the people faid unto Samuel, Who is he 
that faid, Shall Saul reign over us ? bring the men, 
that we may put them to death. 

13 And Saul faid, There fhall not a man be put to 
death this day: for today the Lord hath wrought 
falvation in Ifrael. 

14 IF Then faid Samuel to the people, Come, and 
let us go to Gilgal, and renew the kingdom there. 

15 And all the people went to Gilgal ; and there 
they made Saul king before the Lor d in Gilgal : and 
there they facrificed facrifices of peace offerings before 
the Lord ; and there Saul and all the men of Ifrael 
rejoiced greatly.

5 And he faid unto them, The Lord is witnefs 
againft you, and his anointed is witnefs this day, that 
ye have not found aught in my hand. And they an- 
fwered, He is witnefs. 

6 IF And Samuel faid unto the people, It is the

christ of Hazor, and into the hand of the Philiftines, and in- 
■2^,^ to the hand of the king of Moab ; and they fought 
againft them. 

10 And they cried unto the Lord, and faid, We 
have iinned, becaufe we have forfaken the, Lord, 
and have ferved Baalim and Aihtaroth : but now de- 
liver us out of the hand of our enemies, and we will 
ferve thee. 

11 And the Lord fent Jerubbaal, and Bedan, and 
fudges i . i. e Jephthah, and Samuel, and delivered you out of the 

hand of your enemies on every fide, and ye dwelled fafe. 

12 And when ye faw that Nahafh the king of the 
children of Ammon came againft you, ye faid unto 
me, Nay ; but a king fhall reign over us : when the 
Lord your God was your king. 

13 Now, therefore, behold the king whom ye have 
chofen, ana whom ye have defired ! and, behold, the 
Lord hath fet a king over you. 

14 If .ye will fear the Lord, and ferve him, and 
tHeb.moart.obey his voice, and not rebel againft the f command- 
ment of the Lord, then fhall both ye, and alfo the 

i-Heb.fea/- tjng that reigneth over you, f Continue following the 
Lord your God. 

15 But if ye will not obey the voice of the Lord, 
but rebel againft the commandment of the Lord ; 
then fhall the hand of the Lord be againft you, as it 
'was againft your fathers. 

16 Now, therefore, ftand and fee this great thing, 
which the Lord will do before your eyes. 

17 Is it not wheat harveft today ? I will call unto 
the Lord, and he fhall fend thunder and rain ; that 
ye may perceive and fee that your wickednefs is great 
which ye have done in the light of the Lord, inafking 
you a king. 

18 1 So Samuel called unto the Lord ; and the 
Lord fent thunder and rain that day : and all the peo- 
ple greatly feared the Lord and Samuel. 

19 And all the people faid unto Samuel, Pray for 
thy fervants unto the Lord thy God, that we die not : 
for we have added unto all our fms this evil, to afk us a 
king. 

20 II And Samuel faid unto the people, Fear not : 
(ye have done all this wickednefs, yet turn not afide 
from following the Lord, but ferve the Lord with all 
your heart ; 

21 And turn ye not afide : for then should ye go after 
vain thi?igs, which cannot profit nor deliver ; for they 
are vain :) 

22 For the Lord will not forfake his people for his

to make you his people. 

23 Moreover, as for me, God forbid that I fliould

I will teach you the good and the right way. 

24 Only fear the Lord, and ferve him in truth,

whereof two thoufand were with Saul in Michmafh. 
and in mount Bethel, and a thoufand were with Jona- 
than in Gibeah of Benjamin : and the reft of the peo- 
ple he fent every man to his tent. 

3 IT And Jonathan fmote the garrifon_ of the Philif- >ft _ 
tines that was in || Geba ; and the Philiftines heard ml' 
ofW. And Saul blew the trumpet throughout all the 
land, faying, Let the Hebrews hear. 

4 And all Ifrael heard fay, that Saul had fmitten +H( , b(M 
a garrifon of the Philiftines, and that Ifrael alfo f was hm.' 
had in abomination with the Philiftines. _ And the 
people were called together after Saul to Gilgal. 

5 1 And the Philiftines gathered themfelves togeth- 
er to fight with Ifrael, thirty thoufand chariots, and 
fix thoufand horfemen, and people as the fand which 
is on the fea fhore in multitude : and they came up 
and pitched in Michmafh, eaftward from Bethaven. 

6 If When the men of Ifrael faw that they Avere in 
a ftrait, (for the people were diftreffed,) then the peo- 
ple did hide themfelves in caves, and in thickets, and 
in rocks, and in high places, and in pits. 

7 And some of the Hebrews went over Jordan to 
the land of Gad and Gilead : as for Saul, he was yet 
in Gilgal, and all the people f followed him trembling. 

8 IT a And he tarried feven days, according to the fet ^chap.'io 
time that Samuel bad appointed : but Samuel came 

not to Gilgal : and the people were fcattered from him. 

9 And Saul faid, Bring hither a burnt offering to me, 
and peace offerings. And he offered the burnt offering. 

10 And it came to pafs, that as foon as he had made 
an end of offering the burnt offering, Behold, Samuel 
came ; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might 
f falute him. 

11 IT And Samuel faid, What haft thou done? 
And Saul faid, Becaufe I faw that the people were 
fcattered from me, and that thou cameft not within 
the days appointed, and that the Philiftines gathered 
themfelves together at Michmafh ; 

12 Therefore, faid I, The Philiftines will come 
down now upon me to Gilgal, and I have not f made 
fupplication unto the Lord : I forced myfelf, there- i>">f a « °f 
fore, and offered a burnt offering. 

13 And Samuel faid to Saul, Thou haft done 
foolilhly : thou haft not kept the commandment of 
the Lord thy God which he commanded thee ; for 
now would the Lord have eftabliihed thy kingdom 
upon Ifrael for ever. 

14 But now thy kingdom fhall not continue : the 
Lord hath fought him a man after his own heart, 
and the Lord hath commanded him to be captain 
over his people, becaufe thou haft not kept that which 
the Lord commanded thee. 

15 And Samuel arofe, and gat him up from Gil- 
gal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Saul numbered 
the people that were | prefent with him, about fix 
hundred men. 

16 And Saul, and Jonathan his fori, and the people 
that were prefent with them, abode in Gibeah of Ben-

the border that looketh to the valley of Zeboiim, to- 
ward the wildernefs. 

19 II Now there was no fmith found throughout all 
the land of Ifrael : (for the Philiftines faid, Left the 
Hebrews make them f words or fpears : ) 

20 But all the Ifraelites went down to the Philif- 
tines to fharpen every man his fhare, and his coulter, 
and his axe, and his mattock. 

21 Yet they had f a file for the mattocks, and for 
the coulters, and for the forks, and for the axes, and 
t to fharpen the goads. 

22 So it came to pafs, in the day of battle, that there 
was neither fword nor fpear found in the hand of any 
of the people that were with Saul and Jonathan : but 
with Saul, and with Jonathan his fon, was there found. 

23 And the || garrifon of the Philiftines went out to 
the paffages of Michmafh.

hardly restrained from eating blood. 35 Saul build-

47 Said's strength and family. 

NOW || it came to pais upon a day, that Jonathan 
the fon of Saul faid unto the young man that 
bare his armour, Come, and let us go over to the 
Philiftines' garrifon that is on the other fide. But he 
told not his father. '■■ 

2 And Saul tarried in the uttermoft part of Gibeah, 
under a pomegranate tree, which is in Migron : and the 
people that were with him were about fix hundred men. 

3 And Ahiah the fon of Ahitub, a Ichabod's broth- 
er, the fon of Phinehas, the fon of Eli, the Lord's 
prieft in Shiloh, wearing an ephod. And the people 
knew not that Jonathan was gone. 

4 IF And between the paffages by which Jonathan 
fought to go over unto the Philiftines' garrifon, there 
was a lharp rock on the one fide, and a fharp rock 
on the other fide : and the name of the one was 
Bozez, and the name of the other Seneh. 

tHeb.t M »/ ; . 5 The t forefront of the one was fituate northward

6 And Jonathan faid to the young man that bare his 
armour, Come, and let us go over unto the garrifon 
of thefe uncircumcifed ; it may be that the Lord will 
work for us : for there is no reftraint to the Lord b to 
fave by many or by few. 

7 And his armour bearer faid unto him, Do all that 
is in thine heart : turn thee ; behold, I am with thee 
according to thy heart. 

8 Then faid Jonathan, Behold, we will pafs over unto 
these jnen, and we will difcover ourfelves unto them. 

9 If they fay thus unto us, f Tarry until we come

11 And both of them difcovere'd themfelves unto 3a - 
the garrifon of the Philiftines : and the Philiftines faid, 
Behold, the Hebrews come forth out of the holes 
where they had hid themfelves. 

12 And the men of the garrifon anfwered Jonathan 
and his armour bearer, and faid, Come up to us and 
we will fhew you a thing. And Jonathan faid unto 
his armour bearer, Come up after me ; for the Lord 
hath delivered them into the hand of Ifrael. 

13 And Jonathan climbed up upon his hands and 
upon his feet, and his armour bearer after him : and 
they fell before Jonathan ; and his armour bearer Hew 
after him. 

14 And that firft {laughter which Jonathan and his 
armour bearer made, was about twenty men, within 
as it were || an half acre of land, which a yoke of oxen 
might plough. 

15 IF And there was trembling in the hoft, in the 
field, and among all the people ; the garrifon, and the 
fpoilers, they alfo trembled ; and the earth quaked : 
fo it was t a very great trembling. 

16 And the watchmen of Saul in Gibeah of Benja- 
min looked : and, behold, the multitude melted away, 
and they went on beating down one another. 

> 17 IF Then faid Saul unto the people that were with 
him, Number now, and fee who is gone from us. 
And when they had numbered, Behold, Jonathan and 
his armour bearer were not there. 

18 And Saul faid unto Ahiah, Bring hither the ark 
of God : (for the ark of God was at that time with 
the children of Ifrael.) 

19 And it came to pafs, while Saul talked unto the 
prieft, _ that the || noife that was in the hoft of the 
Philiftines went on and increafed ; and Saul faid unto 
the prieft, Withdraw thine hand. 

20 And Saul and all the people that were with him 
t affembled themfelves, and they came to the battle : 
and, behold, d every man's fword was againft his fel- 
low, and there was a very great difcomfiture. 

21 Moreover, the Hebrews that were with the 
Philiftines before that time, which went up with them 
into the camp from the country round about, even 
they alfo turned to be with the Ifraelites that were 
with Saul and Jonathan. 

22 Likewife all the^ men of Ifrael which had hid 
themfelves in mount Ephraim, when they heard that 
the Philiftines fled, even they alfo followed hard after 
them in the battle. 

23 So the Lord faved Ifrael that day : and the 
battle paffed over unto Bethaven. 

24 IF And the men of Ifrael were diftreffed that 
day : for Saul had adjured the people, faying, Curfed 
be the man that eateth any food until evening, that 
I may be avenged on mine enemies. So none of the 
people tailed any food. 

25 And all they o/the land came to a wood ; and 
there was honey upon the ground. 

26 And when the people were come into the wood, 
behold, the honey dropped; but no man put his hand 
to his mouth : for the people feared the oath.

Jonathan raved by the people, C H A 

in an honey comb, and put his hand to his mouth ; 
and his eyes were enlightened. 

28 Then anfwered one of the people, and faid, Thy 
father ftraitly charged the people with an oath, faying, 
Curfed be the man that eateth any food this day. 

j or, war),. ^nd t h e people were 11 faint. 

29 Then faid Jonathan, My father Hath troubled the 
land : fee, I pray you, how mine eyes have been en- 
lightened, becaufe I tailed a little of this honey ; 

30 How much more, if haply the people had eaten 
freely today of the fpoil of their enemies which they 
found ? for had there not been now a much greater 
{laughter among the Philiftines ? 

31 fl And they fmote the Philiftines that day from 
Michmafh to Aijalon : and the people were very faint. 

32 And the people flew upon the fpoil, and took 
fheep, and oxen, and calves, and flew them on the 
ground : and the people did eat them e with the blood. 

33 Then they told Saul, faying^ Behold, the people 
fin againft the Lord, in that they eat with the blood. 
And he faid, Ye have || tranfgreiled : roll a great ftone 
unto me this day. 

34 And Saul faid, Difperfe yourfelves among the 
people, and fay unto them, Bring me hither every 
man his ox, and every man his iheep, and flay them 
here, and eat ; and fin not againft the Lord in eating 
with the blood. And all the peopie brought every 

t ha. in his man his ox t with him that night, and flew them there. 

35 II And Saul built an altar unto the Lord : f the 
lame was the firft altar that he built unto the Lord. 

36 And Saul faid, Let us go down after the Philif- 
tines by night, and fpoil them until the morning light, 
and let us not leave a man of them. And they faid, 
Do whatfoever feemeth good unto thee. Then faid 
the prieft, Let us draw near hither unto God. 

37 And Saul afked counfel of God, Shall I go down 
after the Philiftines ? wilt thou deliver them into the 
hand of Ifrael ? But he anfwered him not that day. 

38 If And Saul faid, Draw ye near hither all the 
\ chief of the people ; and know and fee wherein this 
fin hath been this day : 

39 For as the Lord liveth, which faveth Ifrael, 
though it be hi Jonathan my fon, he fhall furely die. 
But there was not a man among all the people that 
anfwered him. 

40 Then faid he unto all Ifrael, Be ye on one fide, 
and I and Jonathan my fon will be on the other fide. 
And the people faid unto Saul, Do what feemeth 
good unto thee. 

41 Therefore Saul faid unto the Lord God of If- 
thTinn'cZ. rael, II Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jonathan 
/«r 1 »A b ' w '" were ta ^ en *» but the people f efcaped. 

42 And Saul faid, Call lots between me and Jona- 
than my fon. And Jonathan was taken. 

43 Then Saul faid to Jonathan, Tell me what thou 
haft done. And Jonathan told him, and faid, I did but 
taile a little honey with the end of the rod that was 
in mine hand, and, lo, I muft die ! 

44 And Saul anfwered, God do fo, and more alfo : 
for thou fhalt furely die, Jonathan. 

4>5 And the people faid unto Saul, Shafl Jonathan 
die, who hath wrought this great falvation in Ifrael ? 
God forbid : as the Lord liveth, there fhall not one 
hair of his head fall to the ground ; for he hath 
wrought with God this day. So the people refcued 
Jonathan, that he died not.

j 46 Then Saul went up from following the Philif- 
tines : and the Philiftines went to their own place. 

47 If So Saul took the kingdom over Ifrael, and 
fought againft all his enemies on every fide, againft 
Moab, and againft the children of Ammoa, and 
againft Edom, and againft the kings of Zobah, and 
againft the Philiftines : and whitherfoever he turned 
himfelf, he vexed them. 

48 IT And he || gathered an hoft, and fmote the 
Amalekites, and delivered Ifrael out of the hands of 
them that fpoiled them. 

49 If Now the fons of Saul Were Jonathan and 
Ifhui, and Melchifhua : and the names of his two 
daughters were these ; the name of the firftborn Me- 
rab, and the name of the younger Michal : 

50 And the name of Saul's wife was Ahinoam, the 
daughter of Ahimaaz ; and the name of the captain 
of his hoft was Abner the fon of Ner, Saul's uncle. 

51 And Kifh was the father of Saul ; and Ner the 
father of Abner was the fon of Abiel. 

52 And there was-fore war againft the Philiftines, 
all the days of Saul : and when Saul faw any ftrong 
man, or any valiant man, he took him unto him. 

CHAP. XV. 

1 Saul sent to destroy Amalek : 6 he favour eth the 
Kenites : 7 he smiteth the Amalekites, but spareth 
Agag, &c. 10 his disobedience displeaseth the Lord. 
12 Samuel sheweth him God's rejection of him. 32 
Samuel slayeth Agag, &c. 

SAMUEL alfo faid unto Saul, a The Lord fent me 
to anoint thee to be king over his people, over 
Ifrael : now, therefore, hearken thou unto the voice 
of the words of the Lord. 

2 Thus faith the Lord of bolls, I remember that 
which Amalek did to Ifrael, b how he laid wait for 
him in the way when he came up from Egypt. 

3 Now go and finite Amalek, and utterly deftroy 
all that they have, and fpare them not ; but flay both 
man and woman, infant and fuckling, ox and Iheep, 
camel and afs. 

4 And Saul gathered the people together, and num- 
bered them in Telaim, two hundred thoufand foot- 
men, and ten thoufand men of Judah. 

5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and || laid 
wait in the valley. 

6 If And Saul faid unto the Kenites, Go, depart, get 
ye down from among the Amalekites, left I deftroy 
you with them : for ye fhewed kindnefs to all the 
children of Ifrael when they came up out of Egypt. 
So the Kenites departed from among the Amalekites. 

7 If And Saul fmote the Amalekites from Havilah 
until thou comeft to Shur, that is over againft Egypt. 

8 And he took Agag the king of the Amalekites 
alive, and utterly deftroyed all the people with the 
edge of the fword. 

9 But Saul and the people fpared Agag, and the 
beft of the fheep, and of the oxen, and || of the fat- 
lings, and the lambs, and all that xvas good, and would 
not utterly deftroy tnem : but every thing that was 
vile and refufe, that they deftroyed utterly. 

10 If Then came the word of the Lord unto Sam- 
uel, faying, 

11 It repenteth me that I have fet up Saul to be king : 
for he is turned back from following me, # and # hath 
not performed my commandments. And it grieved

Samuel ; and he cried unto the Lord all night. 

12 And when Samuel rofe early to meet Saul in 
the morning, it was told Samuel, faying, Saul carrfe to 
Carmel, and, behold, he let him up a place, and is 
gone about, and paffed on, and gone down to Gilgal. 

13 And Samuel came to Saul ; and Saul faid unto 
him, Bleffed be thou of the Lord : I have performed 
the commandment of the Lord. 

14 And Samuel faid, What meancth then this bleat- 
ing of the fheep in mine ears, and the lowing of the 
oxen which I hear ? 

15 And Saul faid, They have brought them from 
the Amalekites : for the people fpared the bell of the 
fheep and of the oxen to facrifice unto the Lord thy 
God ; and the reft we have utterly deftroyed. 

16 Then Samuel faid unto Saul. Stay, and I will 
tell thee what the Lord hath faid to me this night. 
And he faid unto him, Say on. 

17 And Samuel faid, When thou wast little in 
thine own fight, wast thou not .made the head of the 
tribes of Ifrael, and the Lord anointed thee king over 
Ifrael I 

18 And the Lord fentthee on a journey, and faid, 
Go, and utterly deftroy the finners the Amalekites, 
and fight againft them until f they be confumed. 

19 Wherefore then didit thou not obey the voice of 
the Lord, but didft fly upon the fpoil, and didft evil 
in the fight of the Lord ? 

20 And Saul faid unto Samuel, Yea, I have obey- 
ed the voice of the Lord, and have gone the way 
which the Lord fent me, and have brought Agag 
the king of Amalek, and have utterly deftroyed the 
Amalekites. 

21 But the people took of the fpoil, fheep and oxen, 
the chief of the things which fhould have been utterly 
deftroyed, to facrifice unto the Lord thy God in 
Gilgal. 

22 And Samuel faid, Hath the Lord as great de- 
light in burnt offerings and facrifices as in obeying the 

h^% 5 ''voice of the Lord ? Behold, c to obey is better than 
Matth.9.13, facrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams, 
t mb!'dhin> 23 For rebellion is as the fin of t witchcraft, and 
Itubbomnefs is as iniquity and idolatry : becaufe thou 
"haft rejected the word of the Lord, he hath alfo re- 
jected thee from being king. 

24 H And Saul faid unto Samuel, I have finned : 
for I have tranfgreffed the commandment of the Lo r d , 
and thy words; becaufe I feared the people, and 
obeyed their voice. 

25 Now, therefore, I pray thee, pardon my fin, and 
turn again with me, that I may worfhip the Lord. 

26 And Samuel faid unto Saul, I will not return 
with thee : for thou haft rejected the word of the 
Lord, and the Lord hath rejected thee from being 
king over Ifrael. 

27 And as Samuel turned about to go away, he laid 
hold upon the fkirt of his mantle, and it rent. 

28 And Samuel faid unto him, The Lord hath rent 
the kingdom of Ifrael from thee this day, and hath giv- 
en it to a neighbour of thine, that is better than thou. 

29 And alfo the II Strength of Ifrael will not lie nor 
repent : for he is not a man that he fhould repent. 

30 Then he faid, I have finned ; yet honour me 
now, I pray thee, before the elders of my people, and 
before Ifrael, and turn again with me, that I may wor- 
ship the Lord thy God. 



I. SAMUEL. David is sent for \ approved, and anointed, 
31 So Samuel turned again after Saul; and Saul

worshipped the Lord. 

32 II Then faid Samuel, Bring ye hither to me 
Agag, the king of the Amalekites. And Agag came 
unto him delicately. And Agag faid, Surely the bit- 
ternefs of death is paft. 

33 And Samuel faid, & As thy fword hath made f, E ^^ 
women childlefs, fo fliall thy mother be childlefs m«. 
among women. And Samuel hewed Agag in pieces 
before the Lord in Gilgal. 

34 IT Then Samuel went to Ramah ; and Saul went 
up to his houfe to Gibeah of Saul. 

35 And Samuel came no more to fee Saul until the 
day of his death ; neverthelefs, Samuel mourned for 
Saul : and the Lord repented that he had made Saul 
king over Ifrael. 

CHAP. XVI. 
1 Samuel, by God? s direction, goeth to Bethlehem. 6 
Jesse's seven sons pass before him, but are not ap- 
proved by God. 1 1 David is sent for, approved and 
anointed. 14 An evil spirit trouble th Saul ; he 
sendeth for David, &c. 

AND the Lord faid unto Samuel, How long wilt ck.xocs. 
thou mourn for Saul, feeing I have rejected him 
from reigning over Ifrael ? Fill thine horn with oil, 
and go, I will fend thee to Jeffe the Bethlehemite : for 
I have provided me a king among his fons. 

2 And Samuel faid, How can I go ? if Saul hear it, he 
will killme, And the Lord faid, Take an heifer f with 
thee, and fay, I am come to facrifice to the Lord : 

3 And call Jeffe to the facrifice, and I will fhew 
thee what thou fhalt do : and thou ihalt anoint unto 
me him whom I name unto thee. 

4 And Samuel did that which the Lord fpake, and 
came to Bethlehem : and the elders of the town trem- 
bled at his t coming, and faid, Cornell thou peaceably ? 

5 And he faid, Peaceably ; I am come to facrifice 
unto the Lord ; fanclify yourfelves, and come with 
me to the facrifice. And he fanclified Jeffe and his 
fons, and called them to the facrifice. 

6 II And it came to pafs, when they were come, 
that he looked on Eliab, and faid, Surely the Lord's 
anointed is before him. 

7 But the Lord faid unto Samuel, Look not on his 
countenance, or on the height of his ftature ; becaufe 
I have refufed him : for the LORD sceth not as man 
feeth ; for man looketh on the f outward appearance, + Heb - <?"• 
but the Lord looketh on the a heart. 5.p2taV£ 

8 Then Jeffe called Abinadab, and made him pafs &£& ' 
before Samuel. And he faid, Neither hath die Lord 2 ° 12 - 
chofen this. 

9 Then Jeffe made Shammah to pafs by. And he 
faid, Neither hath the Lord chofen this. 

10 Again Jeffe made feven of his fons to pafs be- 
fore Samuel. And Samuel faid unto Jeffe, the Lord 
hath not chofen thefe. 

11 IT And Samuel faid unto Jeffe, Are here all thy 
children ? And he faid, There remaineth yet the 
youngeft, and, behold, he keepeth the fheep. And 
Samuel faid unto Jeffe, b Send and fetch him : for we 
will not fit f down till he come hither. 

12 And he fent, and brought him in. Now he was 
ruddy, and whithal f of a beautiful countenance, and ™t' fair ° f . 
goodly to look to. And the Lord faid, Arife, anoint 
him : for this is he.

christ him in the midft of his brethren : and the Spirit of

So Samuel rofe up, and went to Ramah. 

14 IT But the Spirit of the Lord departed from 
floofcrr/jirrf.Saul, and an evil fpiritfrom the Lord || troubled him. 

15 And Saul's fervantsfaid unto him, Behold now, 
an evil fpirit from God troubleth thee. 

16 Let our lord now command thy fervants 'which 
are .before thee, to feek out a man who is a cunning 
player on an harp : and it (hall come to pais, when the 
evil fpirit from God is upon thee, that he fhall play 
with his hand, and thou fhalt be well. 

17 And Saul laid unto his fervants, Provide me 
now a man that can play well, and bring him to me. 

18 Then anfweredone of the fervants, and faid, 
Behold, I have feen afon of Jeffethe Bethlehemite, 
that is cunning in playing, and a mighty valiant man, 
and a man of war, and prudent in || matters, and a 
comely perfon, and the Lord is with him. 

19 If Wherefore Saul lent meffengers unto Jeffe, and 
faid y Send me David thy fon, which is with the fheep. 

20 And Jeffe took an afs laden witii bread, and a 
bottle of wine, and a kid, and fent them by David his 
fon unto Saul. 

21 And David came to Saul, and flood before him : 
and he loved him greatly ; and he became his ar- 
mour bearer. 

22 And Saul fent to Jeffe, faying, Let David, I 
pray thee, Hand before me ; for he hath found favour 
in my light. 

23 And it came to pafs, when the evil fpirit from 
God was upon Saul, that David took an harp, and 
played with, his hand :. fo Saul was refrefhed, and was 
well, and the evil fpirit departed from him. 

C H A P. XVII. 
1 The armies of the Israelites and Philistines being 
drawn out to battle, 4 Goliath cometh proudly forth

presseth indignation thereat. 28 Eliab chideth him. 
30 David is brought to Saul : 32 he sheweth the rea-

slayeth the giant. 55 Said take th notice of David. 
"OW the Pljtiliftines gathered together their ar-

Shochoh, which belongcth to Judah, and pitched be- 
ll or, tAsv^-ttween Shochoh and Azekah, in II Ephefdammim.

3 And the Philiflines flood on a mountain on the

4 If And there went out a champion out of the 
camp of the Philiflines, named Goliath of Gath, whofe 
height was fix cubits and a fpan. 

5 And he had an helmet of brafs upon his head, and 
he %v as i armed with a coat of mail, and the weight

battle in array ? Am not I a Philifline, and ye fervants 
to Saul ? choofe you a man for you, and let him come 
down to me. 

9 If he be able to fight with me, and to kill me, then 
will we be your fervants : but if I prevail againft him 
and kill him , then fhall ye be our fervants, and ferve us. 

10 And the Philifline faid, I defy the armies of Ifrael 
this clay ; give me a man that we may fight together. 

1 1 When Saul and all Ifrael heard thofe words of 
the Philifline, they were difmayed, and greatly afraid. 

12-11 Now David was a the fon of that Ephrathite ach&p.is-ji 
of Bethlehemjudah, whofe name was Jeffe ; and he 
had eight fons : and the man went among mm for an 
old man in the days of Saul. 

13 And the three eldefl fons of Jeffe went and follow- 
ed Saul to the battle : and the names of his three fons 
that went to the battle were Eliab the firftborn, and 
next unto him Abinadab, and the third Shammah. 

14 And David was the youngefl : and the three 
eldefl followed Saul. 

> 15 But David went, and returned from Saul to feed 
his father's fheep at Bethlehem. 

16 And the Philifline drew near morning and even-

17 And Jeffe faid unto David his fon, Take now 
for thy brethren an ephah of this parched corn, and 
thefe ten loaves, and run to the camp to thy brethren ;

25 And the men of Ifrael faid, Have you feen this »«/««■

king will enrich him with great riches, and b will give bjothua

26 And David fpake to the men that flood by him,

27 And the people anfwered him after this manner, 
laying, So fhall it be done to the man that killeth him.

30 1f And he turned from him toward another, and

3 1 And when the words were heard which David 
fpake, they rehearfed them before Saul ; and he | fent 
for him. 

32 And David faid to Saul, Let no man's heart 
fail becaufe of him ; thy fervant will go and fight with 
this Philiftine. 

33 And Saul faid to David, Thou art not able to 
go againft this Philiftine to fight with him ; for thou 
art but a youth, and he a man of war from his youth. 

_ 34 And David faid unto Saul, Thy fervant kept 
his father's fheep, and there came a lion and a bear, 
dor, kid. and took a || lamb out of the flock ; 

35 And j went out after him, and fmote him, and 
delivered it out of his mouth : and, when he arofe 
againft me, I caught him by his beard, and fmote him, 
and flew him. 

36 Thy fervant flew both the lion and the bear ; and 
this uncircumcifed Philiftine fhall be as one of them, 
feeing he hath defied the armies of the living God. 

37 David faid moreover, The Loud that delivered 
me out of the paw of the lion, and out of the paw of 
the bear, he will deliver me out of the hand of this 
Philiftine. And Saul faid unto David, Go, and the 
Lord be with thee. 

38 II And Saul f armed David with his armour, 
and he put an helmet of brafs upon his head ; alfo he 
armed him with a coat of mail. 

39 And David girded his fword upon his armour, 
and he allayed to go ; for he had not proved it. And 
David faid unto Saul, I cannot go with thefe ; for I 
have not proved them. And David put them off him. 

40 And he took his ftaff in his hand, andchofe him 
locality, five fmooth ftones out of the || brook, and put them in 
tHeb. -.■««/. a Ihepherd's t bag which he had, even in a fcrip, and 

his fling was in his hand ; and he drew near to the 
Philiftine. 

41 And the Philiftine came on, and drew near unto 
David ; and the man that bare the fhield, ivent before 
him. 

42_ And when the Philiftine looked about, and faw 
David, he difdained him ; for he was but a youth, and 
ruddy, and of a fair countenance. 

43 And the Philiftine faid unto David, Am I a dog, 
that thou comeft to me with Haves ? And the Philif- 
tine curfed David by his gods. 

44 And the Philiftine laid to David, Come to me, 
and I will give thv flefh unto the fowls of the air, and 
to the beafts of the field. 

45 Then faid David to the Philiftine, Thou comeft to 
me with a fword, and with afpear, and with a fhield ; 
but I come to thee in the name of the Lord of hofts, 
the God of the armies of Ifrael, whom thou haft defied. 

46 This day will the Lord \ deliver thee into mine 
hand ; and I will finite thee, and take thine head from 
thee; and I will give the carcaffes of the holt of the 
Philiftines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to 
the wild beafts of the earth ; that all the earth may 
know that there is a God in Ifrael. 

47 And all this affembly fhall know that the Lord

faveth not with fword and fpear : for the battle is the 
Lord's, and he will give you into our hands. 

48 And it came to pafs,when the Philiftine arofe, and ' 
came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hailed, 
and ran toward the army to meet the Philiftine. 

49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took 
thence a ftone, and Hang it, and fmote the Philiftine 
in his forehead, that the ftone funk into his forehead ; 
and he fell upon his face to the earth.

thereof, and flew him, and cut off his head therewith. 
And when the Philiftines faw their champion was 
dead, they fled. 

52 1 And the men of Ifrael and of Judah arofe, and 
fhouted, and purfued the Philiftines, until thou come

wounded of the Philiftines fell down by the way to 
Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron. 

53 And the children of Ifrael returned; from chafing 
after the Philiftines, and they fpoiled their tents. 

54 If And David took the head of the Philiftine, 
and brought it to Jerufalem : but he put his armour

As thy foul liveth, O king, I cannot tell. 

56 And the king faid, Inquire thou whole fon the

57 And, as David returned from the flaughter of the 
Philiftine, Abner took him, and brought him before 
Saul, with the head of the Philiftine in his hand.

AND it came to pafs, when he had made an end

was knit with the foul of David, and Jonathan loved 
him as his own foul. 

2 And Saul took him that day, and would let him 
go no more home to his father's houfe. 

3 Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, be- 
caufe he loved him as his own foul.

with joy, and with fmllruments of mufiC. 

7 And the women anfwered one another as they

David his ten thoufands.

David ten thoufands } and to me they have afcribed 
but thoufands : and what can he have more but the 
kingdom ? 

9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward. 

10 IT And it came to pafs on the morrow, that the 
evil fpirit from God came upon Saul, and he prophe- 
lied in the midft of the houfe ; and David played with 
his hand as at other times : and there was a javelin in

1 1 And Saul call the javelin ; for he faid, I will unite 
©avid even to the wall with it. And David avoided 
out of his prefence twice. 

12 IT And Saul was afraid of David, becaufe the 
Lord was with him, and was departed from Saul. 

13 Therefore Saul removed him from him* and 
made him his captain over a thoufand ; and he went 
out and came in before the people. 

14 And David 11 behaved hirmelf wifely in all his 
ways ; and the Lord was with him. 

15 Wherefore when Saul faw that he behaved him- 
felf very wifely, he was afraid of him. 

16 But all Ifrael and Judah loved David> becaufe 
he went out and came in before them. 

17 IT And Saul faid to David, Behold, my elder 
daughter Merab, her will I give thee to wife ; only 
be thou t valiant forme, and fight the Lord's battles : 
for Saul faid, Let not mine hand be upon him, but let 
the hand of the Philiftines be upon him. 

18 And David faid unto Saul, Who am I ? and 
what is my life, or my father's family in Ifrael, that 
I fhould be fon in law to the king t 

19 But it came to pafs, at the time when Merab, 
Saul's daughter, fhould have been given to David,that 
fhe was given unto Adriel the Meholathite to wife. 

20 IT And Michal >, Saul's daughter, loved David : 
and they told Saul, and the thing f pleafed him. 

21 And Saul faid, I will give him her^ that fhe maybe 
a fnare to him, and that the hand of the Philiftines may 
be againft him. Wherefore Saul faid to David, Thou 
fhalt this day be my fbn in law in the one of the twain. 

22 IT And Saul commanded his fervants, saying, 
Commune with David fecretly, and fay, Behold, the 
king hath delight in thee, and all his fervants love 
thee : now, therefore, be the king's fon in law. 

23 And Saul's fervants fpake thole words in the ears 
of David. And David faid, Seemeth it to you a light 
thing to be a king's fon in law, feeing that I am a poor 
man, and lightly efteemed ? 

24 And the fervants of Saul told him, faying, \ On 
this manner fpake David. 

g 25 And Saul faid, Thus fhall ye fay to David, The 
king defireth not any dowry, but an hundred forefkins 
of the Philiftines, to be avenged of the king's ene- 
mies. But Saul thought to make David fall by the 
hand of the Philiftines. 

26 And when his fervants told David thefe words, 
it pleafed David well to be the king's fon in law : and 
the days were not f expired.

27 Wherefore David arofe, and went, he and his

David brought their forefkins, and they gave them in 
full tale to the king, that he might be the king's fon in 
law. And Saul gave him Michal his daughter to wife. 

28 IT And Saul faw and knew that the Lord was 
with David, and that Michal, Saul's daughter, loved 
him. 

29 And Saul was yet the more afraid of David ; and 
Saul became David's enemy continually. 

30 Then the princes of the Philiftines Went forth : 
and it came to pafs, after they went forth, that David 
behaved himfelf more wifely than all the fervants of 
Saul ; fo that his name was much t fet by.

his _ father, and faid unto him. Let not the king fill 
againft his feryant, againft David ; becaufe he hath 
not finned againft thee, and becaule his works have 
been to thee ward very good. 

5 For he did put his a life in his hand, and flew the ^W9>*

for all Ifrael •: thou faweft it-, and clidft rejoice ; where- 
fore then wilt thou fin againft innocent bloody to flay

6 And Saul hearkened unto the voice of Jonathan : 
and Saul fware, As the Lord liveth, he fhal I not be flain . 

_ 7 And Jonathan called DaVid, and Jonathan fhewed 
him all thofe things : and Jonathan brought David to 
Saul, and he was in his prefence as \ in times paft.

2 And he faid unto him, God forbid ; thou fhalt

be grieved : but truly, as tht Lord liveth, and as thy

8 Therefore thou fhalt deal kindly with thy fervant ; 
for a thou haft brought thy fervant into a covenant of.->cha P .i8 3 .

10 Then faid David to Jonathan, Who fhall tell

11 IT And Jonathan faid unto David, Come, and let 
us go out into the field. And they went out both of 
them into the field. 

12 And Jonathan faid unto David, O Lord God

there be good toward David, and I then fend not unto

13 The Lord do fo, and much more to Jonathan : " th " Ktar - 
but if it pleaie my father to do thee evil, then I will

14 And thou fhalt not only, while yet I live, fhew 
me the kindnefs of the Lord, that I die not ; 

15 But also thou fhalt not cut off thy kindnefs from 
my houfe for ever ; no, not when the Lord hath cut 
off the enemies of David, every one from the face of

16 So Jonathan \ made a covenant with the houfe tHeb. cut. 
of David, saying, Let the Lord even require it at the

17 And Jonathan caufed David to fwear again, || be- \\ or,t> his

26 Never thelefs, Saulfpake not any thing that day :

David cometh to Nob. CHAP. 

the fecond day of the month, that David's place was 
empty ; and Saul faid unto Jonathan his fon. Where- 
fore cometh not the fon of Jeffe to meat, neither yef-

28 "And Jonathan anfwered Saul, David earneitly 
alked leave of me to go to Bethlehem : 

29 And he faid, Let me go, I pray thee ; for our 
family hath a facrifice in the city, and my brother, he 
hath commanded me to be there : and now, if I have 
found favour in thine eyes, let me get away, I pray 
thee, and fee my brethren : therefore he cometh not 
unto the king's table. 

30 Then Saul's anger was kindled againft Jonathan,

tHeb. is the for he t fhall furely die. 

"" cf dca,h - 32 And Jonathan anfwered Saul his father, and 

faid unto him, Wherefore fhall he be ilain ? what 

hath he done ? 

33 And Saul call a javelin at him to fmite him ; 
whereby Jonathan knew that it was determined of 
his father to flay David. 

34 So Jonathan arofe from the table in fierce anger, 
and did eat no meat the fecond day of the month : 
for he was grieved for David, becaufe his father had 
done him fhame. 

35 1 And it came to pafs, in the morning, that Jon- 
athan went out into the field, at the time appointed 
with David, and a little lad with him. 

36 And he faid unto his lad, Run, find out now the 
arrows which I fhoot. Arid, as the lad ran, he fhot 

* H,b to tan an arrow t beyond him. 

37 And when the lad was come to the place of the 
arrow which Jonathan had lhot, Jonathan cried after 
the lad, and faid, Is not the arrow beyond thee ? 

58 And Jonathan cried after die lad, Make fpeed, 
haile, Hay not. And Jonathan's lad gathered up the 
arrows, and came to his mafter. 

39 But the lad knew not any thing ; only Jonathan 
and David knew the matter. 

40 And Jonathan gave his f artillery unto this lad, 
and faid unto him, Go, carry them to the city. 

41 If And as foon as the lad was gone, David arofe 
out of a place toward the fouth, and fell on his face 
to the ground, and bowed himfelf three times ; and 
they killed one another, and wept one with another, 
until David exceeded. 

42 And Jonathan faid to David, Go in peace, |i for- 
afmuch as we have fworn both of us in the name of the 
Lord, faying, The Lord be between me and thee, 
and between my feed and thy feed for ever. And he 
arofe and departed : and Jonathan went into the city.

6 So the prieft gave him hallowed bread: for there 
was no bread there but the fhewbread that was taken 
from before the Lord, to put hot bread in the day 
when it was taken away. 

7 Now a certain man of the fervants of Saul was 
there that day, detained before the Lord ; and his 
name was Doeg, an Edomite, the chiefeft of the herd-

8 If And David faid unto Ahimelech, And is there 
not here under thine hand fpear or fword ? for I have

if thou wilt take that, take it ; for there is no other

10 If And David arofe, and fled that day for fear of 
Saul, and went to Achifh the king of Gath. 

11 And the fervants of Achiih faid unto him, Is 
not this David the king of the land ? did they not ling

And who is. so faithful among all thy fervants. as David, 
which is the king's fon in law, and goeth at thy bid-

15 Did I then begin to inquire of God for him ? be

CHAP. XXIII. 
1 The 'Philistines fight, against Keilah ; David, in- 
quiring of the Lord by Abiathar ,*eaveth it. 9 God- 
shew eth him of the coming of Saul, and the treache- 
ry of the Keilites : 13 he escapeth to Ziph, whither 
Jonathan cometh and comforteth him. 1.9 The Ziph- 
ites discovereth him to Saul, who pursueth him to 
Maon. 27 Saul is called off by an invasion of the 
Philistines.. 29 David dwelleth at Enge-di. . 

THEN they told David, faying, Behold, the Phi- 
liftines fight againft Keilah, and they rob the 
threfhing floors.. 

2 Therefore David inquired of the Lord, faying,. 
Shall I go and finite thefe Philiftines ? And the Lord 
faid unto David,. Go and finite the Philiftines, and 
fave Keilah. 

3 And David's, men faid unto him, Behold, we be 
afraid here in Judah, how much more then if we come 
to Keilah againft the armies of the Philiftines ?: 

4 Then David inquired of the Lord yet again. And 
the Lord anfwered him, and faid, Arife, go down to 
Keilah: for I will deliver the Philiftines into thine hand. 

5 So David and his men went to Keilah, and fought 
with the Philiftines, and brought away their cattle, 
and fmote them with a great flaughter. So David fav- 
ed the inhabitants of Keilah.. 

6 And it came to pafs ? when Abiathar the fon of 
Ahimelech a fled to David to Keilah, that he, came aChap , 
down with an ephod in his hand. ao - 

7 II And it was told Saul that David was come to 
Keilah. And Said laid, God hath delivered him in- 
to mine hand ; for he is f hut in, by entering into a 
town that hath gates and bars, 

8 And Saul called all the people together to war, to 
go down to Keilah, to befiege David and his men. 

911 And David knew that Saul feeretlypra£lifed 
mifchief againft him ; and he faid to- Abiathar the 
prieft, Bring hither the ephod.. 

10 Then laid David, O Lord God of Ifrael,.thy 
fervant hath certainly heard that Saul feeketh to come 
to Keilah, to deftroy the city for my fake. 

11 Will the men of Keilah deliver me up into his 
hand ? will Saul come down, as thy fervant hath heard? 
O Lord dud of Ifrael, I befeeeb. thee, tell thy fer-

13 \ Then David and his men, which were about 
fix. hundred, arofe and departed out of Keilah, and 
went whitherfoever they could go. And it was told 
Saul that David, was. efcaped from Keilah; and he 
forbare to go forth. 

1.4 And David abode in the wildernerfs in ftrong 
holds, and remained in a mountain in the wildernels 
of Ziph :. and Saul fought him every day ; but God 
delivered him not into his hand. 

15 And David law that Saul was come out to feek 
his life : and David vjas in the wildernefs of Ziph in a 
wood. 

16 And Jonathan, Saul's fon, arofe, and went to 
David into the wood, and itrengthened his hand in 
God. 

17 And he faid unto him, Fear not ; for the hand 
of Saul my father fhall not find thee : and thou fhalt 
be king over Ifrael, and I mall be next unto thee ; 
and that alfo Saul my father knoweth. 

18 And they two made a covenant before the Lord, 
And David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to 
his houfe. 

19 IT Then came up the Ziphites to Saul to Gibeah, 
faying. Doth not David hide himfelf with us in ftrong 
holds in the wood, in the hill of Hachilah, which is 

#£&™_*i* t on the fouth of || Jefhimon ?. 

20 Now, therefore, O. king come down, according 
to all the defire of thy foul to come down ; and our 
part shall be to deliver him into the king's hand. 

21. And Saul faid, Bleffed be ye of the Lord ; for 
ye have compaflion on me. 

22 Go, I pray you, prepare yet, and know and fee 
his place where his t haunt is, and who hath feen him 
there : for it is told me that he dealeth very fubtilely. 

23 See, therefore, and take knowledge of all the 
lurking places where he hideth himfelf, and come ye 
again to me with the certainty, and I will go with you : 
and it fhall come to pafs, if he be in the land, that 
I will fearch him out throughout all the thoufands of 
Judah. 

24 And they arofe, and went to Ziph before Saul : 
but David and his men were in the wildernefs of Maon, 
in the plain on the fouth of Jefhimon, 

25 Saul alfo and his men went to feek him. And 
they told David : wherefore he came down into a rock, 
and abode in the wildernefs of Maon : and when Saul 
heard that, he purfued after David in the wildernefs 
of Maon. 

26 And Saul went on this fide of the mountain, and 
David and his men on that lide of the mountain : 
and David made hafte to get away for fear of Saul ; 
for Saul and his men compaffed David and his men 
round about to take them. 

27 If But there came ameffenger unto Saul, faying, 
VXil '-'£1 "'' Hafte thee, and come ; for the Philiftines have t in- 
vaded the land. 

28 Wherefore Saul returned from purfuing after 
David, and went againll the Philiftines : therefore they 
called that place || Selahammahlekoth.

in ftrong holds at Engedi.

AN D it came to pafs, when Saul was returnedfrom 
t following the Philiftines, that it was told him, 
faying, Behold, David is in the wildernels of Engedi. 

2 Then Saul took three thoufand chofen men out 
of all Ifrael, and went to feek David and his men upon 
the rocks of the wild goats. 

3 And he came to the iheep cotes by the way, where 
was a cave ; and Saul went in to cover his feet : and 
David and his men remained in the fides of the cave. 

4 And the men of David faid unto him, Behold the 
day of which the Lord faid unto thee, Behold, I will 
deliver thine enemy into thine hand, that thou may eft 
do to him as it fhall feem good unto thee. Then David 
arofe, and cut offthe fkirt off Saul's robe privily. 

5 And it came to pafs afterward, that David's heart 
fmote him becaufe he had cut off Saul's Ikirt. 

6 And he laid unto his men, The Lord forbid that 
Ifhoulddo this thing unto my mailer, the Lord's 
anointed, toftretch forth mine hand againft him, fee- 
ing he is the anointed of the Lord. 

7 So David f flayed his fervants with thefe words, ( 
and fuffered them not to rife againft Saul. But Saul c 
rofe up out of the cave, and went on his way.

cave, and cried after Saul, faying, My lord the king I • 
And, when Saul looked behind him, David (looped 
with his face to the earth, and bowed himfelf. 

9 And David faid to Saul, Wherefore heareft thou 
men's words, faying, Behold, David feeketh thy hurt?. 

10 Behold, this day thine eyes have feen how that 
the Lord had delivered thee today into mine hand in 
the cave : and some bade me kill thee ; but mine eye 
fpared thee >. and I faid, I will not put forth mine hand 
againft .my lord ; for he is the Lord's anointed. 

11 Moreover, my father, fee ; yea, fee the fkirt of 
thy robe in my hand : for in that I cut offthe fkirt of. 
thy robe, and killed thee not, know thou and fee that 
there is neither evil nor tranfgreffion in mine hand, 
and I have not finned againft thee; yet thou hunteft 
my foul to take it. 

12 The Lord judge between me and thee,. and the 
Lord avenge me of. thee ; but mine hand fhall not be 
upon thee.. 

13 As faith the proverb of the ancients,Wickednefs 
proceedeth from the wicked : but mine hand fhall 
not be upon thee. 

14 After whom is the king of Ifrael come out ? 
after whom doft thou purfue ? after a dead dog, after 
a flea. 

15 The Lord therefore be judge, and judge be-

f deliver me out of thine hand.. 

16 If And it came to pafs, when David had made an 
end of fpeaking thefe words unto Saul, that Saul laid, 
Is this thy voice,, my fon David ? and Saul lifted up 
his voice and wept. 

17 And he laid to David, Thou art more righteous 
than I ; for thou haft rewarded me good, whereas I 
have rewarded thee evil. 

18 And thou haft fhewed this day how that thou 
haft dealt well with me : forafmuch as when the Lord 
had f delivered me into thine hand, thou killed!! me 
not.

Nabal, stricken with the relation, dieth. 59 David 
taketh Abigail and Ahinoam to be his wives. 44 Mi-

AN D a Samuel died ; and all the Israelites were 
gathered together, and lamented him, and buried 
him in his houfe at Ramah. And David arofe, and 
went down to the wildernefs of Paran. 
l or, buiiniis. 2 U And there was a man in Maon, whofe || poffef- 
fions were in Carmel ; and the man was very great, and 
he had three thoufand fheep, and a thoufand goats : 
and he was fhearing his fheep in Carmel. 
- 3 Now the name of the man was Nabal, and the 
name of his wife Abigail ; and she was a woman of 
good underftanding, and of a beautiful countenance ; 
but the man was churlifh, and evil in his doings ; and 
he was of the houfe of Caleb. 

4 II And David heard in the wildernefs, that Nabal 
did fhear his fheep. 

5 And David fent out ten young men ; and David 
faid unto the young men, Get ye up to Carmel, and 
go to Nabal, and t greet him in my name. 

6 And thus fhall ye fay to him that liveth in pros- 
perity, Peace be both to thee, and peace be to thine 
houfe, and peace be unto all that thou haft. 

7 And now I have heard that thou haft fhearers : 
now, thy fhepherds which were with us we t hurt 
them not, neither was there aught miffing unto them, 
all the while they were in Carmel. 

8 Afk thy young men, and they will fhew thee : 
wherefore let the young men find favour in thine 
eyes ; (for we come in a good day ;) give, I pray thee, 
whatsoever cometh to thine hand unto thy fervants, 
and to thy fon David. 

9 And, when David's young men came, they fpake 
to Nabal according to all thofe words in the name of

David's fervants, and 
faid, Who is David? and who w the fonofJeffe? 
There be many fervants now a days that break away 
every man from his mafter. 

11 Shall I then take my bread and my water, and 
my t flelh that I have killed for my fhearers, and give 
it unto men whom I know not whence they be ? 

12 So David's young men turned their way, and 
went again, and came and told him all thofe fayings. 

13 And David faid unto his men, Gird ye on every 
man his fword. And they girded on every man his 
fword, and David alfo girded on his fword : and there 
went up after David about four hundred men, and 
two hundred abode by the ftuff. 

14 11 But one of the young men told Abigail, Nabal 's 
wife, faying, Behold, David fent meffengers out of the 



wildernefs to falute our mafter ; and he f railed on 
them : 

15 But the men were very good unto us, and we 
were not f hurt, neither miffed we any thing, as long 
as we were converfant with them, when we were in 
the fields : 

16 They were a wall unto us both by night and day- 
all the while we were with them keeping the lheep. 

17 Now, therefore, know and confider what thou 
wilt do ; for evil is determined againft our mafter, and 
againft all his houfehold : for he is such a fon of Beli- 
al, that a man cannot fpeak to him. 

18 IT Then Abigail made hafte ; and took two hun-. 
dred loaves, and two bottles of wine, and five fheep 
ready dreffed, and five meafures of parched corn, and 
an hundred || clufters of raifms, and two hundred 
cakes of fig c , and laid them on affes. 

19 And ihe laid unto her fervants, Go on before 
me : behold, I come after you. But ihe told not her 
hufband Nabal. 

20 And it was so, asftiz rode on the afs,that fhe came 
down by the covert of the hill, and, behold, David and 
his men came down againft her ; and fhe met them. 

21 (Now David had faid. Surely in vain have I 
kept all that this fellow hath in the wildernefs, fo that 
nothing was miffed of all that pertained unto him ; 
and he hath requited me evil for good. 

22 So and more alfo do God unto tlie enemies of 
David, if I leave of all that pertain to him, by the 
morning light, any thatpiffeth againft the wall.) 

23 And when Abigail faw David, fhe hafted, and 
lighted off the afs, and fell before David on her face, 
and bowed herfelf to the ground, 

24 And fell at his feet, and faid, Upon me, my lord, 
upon me, let this iniquity be; and let thine handmaid, 
I pray thee, fpeak in thine f audience, and hear the 
words of thine handmaid. 

25 Let not my lord, I pray thee, t regard this man 
of Belial, even Nabal : for as his name is, fo is he ; 
Nabal is his name, and folly is with him : but I thine 
handmaid faw not the young men of my lord, whom 
thou didft fend. 

26 Now, therefore, my lord, as the Lord liveth, 
and as thy foul liveth, feeing the Lord hath withhold- 
en thee from coming to shed blood, and from t aveng- 
ing thyfelf with thine own hand, now let thine enemies, 
and they that feek evil to my lord, be as Nabal. 

27 And now this || blefling, which thine handmaid 
hath brought unto my lord, let it even be given unto 
the young men that t follow my lord. 

28 I pray thee, forgive the trefpafs of thine hand- 
maid : for the Lord will certainly make my lord a 
fure houfe ; becaufe my lord fighteth the battles of the 
Lord, and evilhath not been found in " ^.ealltby days. 

29 Yet a man is rifen to purfue thee, and to feek 
thy foul ; but the foul of my lord fhall be bound in the 
bundle of life with the Lord thy God ; and the fouls 
of thine enemies, them fhall he fling out, f as out of

30 And it fhall come to pafs, when the Lord fhall

he hath fpoken concerning thee, and fhall have ap-

ray lord, then remember thine handmaid. 

32 IF And David faid to Abigail , Bleffed be the L o r d 
God of Ifrael, which fent thee this day to meet me : 

33 And bleffed be thy advice, and bleffed be thou, 
which halt kept me this day from coming to shed 
blood, and from avenging mylelf with mine own hand. 

34 For in very deed, as the Lord God of Ifrael 
liveth, which hath kept me back from hurting thee, 
except thou hadft halted and come to meet me,.furely 
there had not been left unto Nabal, by the morning- 
light, any that piffeth againft the wall. 

35 So David received of her hand that which flie 
had brought him, and faid unto her,. Go up in peace 
to thine houfe : fee, I have hearkened to thy voice, 
and have accepted thy perfon. 

36 IT And Abigail came to- Nabal ; and, behold, he 
held a feaft in his houfe like the feaft of a king ; and 
Nabal 's heart was merry within him, for he %vas very 
drunken : wherefore fhe told him nothing, lefs or 
more, until the morning light. 

37 But it came to pafs in the morning, when the 
wine was gone out of Nabal, and his wife had told 
him thefe things, that his heart died within him r and 
he became as a ftone. 

38 And it came to pafs r about ten days after r that 
the Lord fmote Nabal, that he died. 

39 IF And when David heard that Nabal was dead, 
he faid, Bleffed be the Lord, that hath pleaded the 
caufe of my reproach from the hand of Nabal, and 
hath kept his fervant from evil : for the Lord hath 
returned the wickednefs of Nabal upon his own head. 
And David fent and communed with x^bigail, to take 
her to him to wife. 

40 And when the fen-ants of David were come to 
Abigail to Carmel, they fpake unto her, faying, David 
fent us unto thee, to take thee to him to wife. 

41 And (lie arofe,, and bowed herfelf on her face to 
the earth, and faid, behold, let thine handmaid be a 
fervant to wafh the feet of the fervants of my lord. 

42 And Abigail halted, and arofe, and rode upon 
jL" eb ' ath<r an afej w ^ m nve damfels of her's that went t after her : 

and fhe went after the meffengers of David, and be- 
came his wife. 

43 David alfo took Ahinoam b of Jezreel ; and they 
were alfo both of them his wives. 

44 TFBut Saulhad given c Michalhisdaughter, David's 
wife, to Phalti, the fon of Laifh, which was of Gallim. 

CHAP. XXVI. 
1 Saul, informed by the Ziphites of David 7 s abode, com-

AND the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, fay- 
ing, a Doth not David hide himfelf in the hill of

2 Then Saul arofe, and went clown to the wildernefs 
of Ziph, having three thoufand chofen men of Ifrael 
with him, to feek David in the wildernefs of Ziph. 

3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, which 
zs before Jefhimon, by the way : but David abode in 
the wildernefs ; and he law that Saul came after him

5 IT And David arofe and came to the place where C h1Tst 
Saul had pitched ; and David beheld the place where ^^^ 
Saul lay, b and Abner the fon of Ner, the captain of bow , + _ 
his holt ; and Saul lay in the || trench, and the people for, mMi 
pitched round about him. ° a f h ' 

6 Then anfwered David, and faid to Ahimelech the 
Hittite, and to Abifhai the fon of Zeruiah, brother to 
Joab, faying, Who will go down with me to Saul to 
the camp ? And Abifhai laid, I will go down with thee. 

_ 7 So David and Abilhai came to the people by " 
night : and, behold,,Saul lay lleeping within the trench, 
and his fpear ftuck in the ground at his bolfter : but 
Abner and the people lay round about him. 

8 Then faid Abifhai to David, God hath t deliver- 
ed thine enemy into thine hand this day : now, there- 
fore, let me fmite him, I pray thee, with the fpear even 
to the earth at once, and I will not smite him the 
fecond time. 

9 And David faid to Abifhai,. Deftroy him not : 
for who can ftretch forth his hand againft the Lord's 
anointed, and be guiltlefs ? 

10 David faid furthermore, As the Lord liveth, 
the Lord fhall fmite him ; or his day fhall come to 
die ; or he fhall defcend into battle and perifh. 

11 The Lord forbid that I fhould ftretch forth 
mine hand againft the Lord's anointed : but, I pray 
thee, take thou now the fpear that is at his bolfter,. 
and the crufe of water, and let us go. 

12 So David took the fpear and the crufe of water 
from Saul's bolfter ; and they gat them away,, and no 
man faw it, nor knew it, neither awaked :" for they 
were all afleep : becaufe a deep fleep from the Lord 
was fallen upon them. 

13 IF Then David went over to the other fide, and 
flood on the top of an hill afar off ; (a great fpace being 
between them ;.) 

14 And David cried to the people, and to Abner

Then Abner anfwered and faid, Who art thou that

15 And David faid to Abner, Art not thou a val- 
iant man ? and who is like to thee in Ifrael ? wherefore 
then haft thou not kept thy lord the king ? for there 
came one of the people in to deftroy the king thy lord. 

16 This thing is not good that thou haft clone. As 

the Lord liveth, ye are f worthy to die, becaufe ye +»«*■ the

And now fee where the king's fpear is, and the crufe

17 And Saul knew David's voice, and faid, Is this 
thy voice, my fon David ? And David faid, It is my 
voice, my lord, O king. 

18 And he laid, Wherefore doth my lord thus 
purfue after > his fervant ? for what have I done ? or 
what evil is in mine hand ? 

_ 19 Now, therefore, I pray thee, let my lord the 
king hear the words of his fervant. If the Lord 
have ftirred thee up againit me, let him f accept an tHth. S mea. 
offering : but if they be the children of men, curled be 
they before the Lord ; for they have driven me out 
this day from f abiding in the inheritance of the 
Lord, faying, Go, ferve other gods. 

20 Now, therefore, let not my blood fall to the 
earth before the face of the Lord ; for the king of 
Ifrael is come out to feek a flea, as when one doth

David : for I will no more do thee harm, becauie my 
foul was precious in thine eyes this day : Behold, I 
have played the fool, and have erred exceedingly. 

22 And David anfwered and faid, Behold the 
king's fpear ! and let one of the young men come over 
and fetch it. 

23 The Lord render to every man his righteouf- 
neis, and his faithfulnefs : for the Lord delivered 
thee into my hand today, but I would not ftretch

24 And, behold, as thy life was much fet by this 
day in mine eyes, fo let my life be much fet by in the 
eyes of the Lord, and let him deliver me out of all

25 Then Saul faid to David, Bleffed be thou, my

ihalt ilill prevail. -So David went on his way, and 
Saul returned to his place.

1 Said bearing .David was. fled to Gath, seekeihno

8 he, invading some other countries, persuaded 
Achish that he warred against judah.

ImumJ. .,/jL one day by the hand of Saul .: there is nothing 
better for me than that I fhould fpeedily efcape into 
the land of the Philiftines ; and Saul fhall defpair of

iliall I efcape cut of his hand. 

2 And David arofe, andhe paffed over with the fix 
hundred men that were with him unto Achifh, the 
ion of Maoch, king of Gath. 

3 And David dwelt Avith Achifh at Gath, he and 
his men, every man with his houlehold, even David 
with his two wives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitefs, and 
Abigail the Carmelitefs, Nabal's wife. _ 

4 And it was told Saul that David was fled to 
Gath ; and he fought no -more again for him. 

5 If AndDavid faid unto Achifh, If Ihave now found 
grace in thine eyes, let them give me a place inibme 
town in the country, that I may dwell there .: for why 
ihould thy fervant dwell in the royal city with thee ? 

6 Then Achifh gave him Ziklag that day ; where- 
fore Ziklag pertaineth unto the kings of Judah unto 
this day.

theGefhurites, and the I! Gezrites, and the Amalekites : 
for thofe nations were of old the inhabitants of the land, 
as thou goeft to Shur, even unto the land of Egypt. 

9 And David fmote the land, and left neither man 
nor woman alive, and took away the lheep, and the 
oxen, and the affes, and the camels, and the apparel, 
and returned, and came to Achifh.

to bring tidings to Gath, faying, Left they fhould tell

I Achish putteth confidence in David. 3 Said having 
destroyed the workers with familiar spirits, 4 afraid 
of the Philistines, and forsaken of God, 7 sceketh to a 
witch at Endor, whom he persuadeth to raise Sam- 
uel. 15 Saul, hearing of his approaching ruin, 
fainteth. 21 The wo?nan with -his servants prevail 
■#n him to take some. food. 

AND it came to.pafsin thofe days, that the Phi- dr. i.jo. 
liftines gathered their armies together for war. 
fare to light with Ifrael: and Achifli faid unto David, 
Know thou affuredly, that thou (halt go out with me 
to battle, thou and thy men. 

2 And David faid to Achifli, Surely thou fhalt know 
what thy fervant can do. And Achifh faid to David, 
Therefore will I make thee keeper of mine head for 
ever. 

3 H Now a Samuel was dead, and all Ifrael had la- 
mented him, and buried him in Ramah, even in his 
own city :_ and Saul had .put away thofe that had fa- 
miliar fpirits, and the wizards, out of the land. 

4 II And the Philiftines gathered themfelves togeth- 
er, and came and pitched in Shunem : and Saul gath- 
ered all Ifrael together, and they pitched in Gilboa. 

5 And when Saul faw the hoft of the Philiftines, he 
was afraid, and his heart greatly trembled. 

6 And when Saul inquired of the Lord, the Lord 
anfwered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, 
nor by prophets. 

7 II Then faid Saul unto his fervants, Seek me a wo- 
man that hath a familiar fpirit, that I may go to her, 
and inquire of her. And his fervants laid to him, 
Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar fpirit at 
Endor. 

8 And Saul difguifed himfelf, and put on other rai- 
ment, and he went, and two men with him, and they 
came to the woman by night ; and he laid, I pray 
thee, divine unto me by the familiar fpirit, and bring 
me him up whom I fhall name unto thee. 

9 And the woman faid unto him, Behold, thou 
knoweft what Saul hath done, how he hath cut off 
thofe that have familiar fpirits, and the wizards, out 
of the land : wherefore then layeft thou a fnare for my 
life, to caufe me to die ? 

10 And Saul fware to her by the Lord, faying, As 
the Lord liveth, there fhall no puniihment happen 
to thee for this thing, 

11 Then faid the woman, Whom fhall I bring up 
unto thee ? And he faid, Bring me up Samuel. 

12 And when the woman faw Samuel, fhe cried with 
a loud voice : and the woman fpake to Saul, faying, 
Why haft thou deceived me ? for thou art Saul. 

13 And the king faid unto her, Be not afraid : for 
what fa weft thou ? And the woman' faid unto Saul, 
I faw gods afcending out of the earth. 

14 And he faid unto her, t What form is he of ? + ^ ls 
And flie faid, An old man cometh up ; and he is cov- form; xs 
ered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was 
Samuel, and he ftooped with his face to the ground, 
and bowed himfelf. 

15 IT And Samuel faid to Saul, Why haft thou dif- 
quieted me, to bring me up ? And Saul anfwered, I am

16 Thenfaid Samuel, Whercforethendoftthouafk 
of me, feeing the Lord is departed from thee, and is 
become thine enemy ? 

17 And the Lord hath done II to him b as he fpake by 
f me : for the Lord hath rent the kingdom out of thine 
hand, and given it to thy neighbour, even to David : 

18 Becaufe thou obeyedft not the voice of theLoRD, 
nor executedll his fierce wrath upon Amalek, therefore 
hath the Lord done this thing unto thee this day. 

19 Moreover, the Lord will alfo deliver Ifrael with 
thee into the hand of the Philiftines ; and tomorrow 
shalt thou and thy fons &? with me : the Lord alfo fliall 
deliverthe hoft of Ifrael into the hand of the Philiftines. 

20 Then Saul f fell ftraitway all along on the earth, 
'jj> Jhefui- and was fore afraid, becaufe of the words of Samuel : 
'<»«. " and there was no ftrength in him ; for he had eaten 

no bread all the day, nor all the night. 

21 If And the woman came unto Saul, and faw 
that he was fore troubled, and faid unto him, Behold, 
thine handmaid hath obeyed thy voice, and . 1 have 
put my life in my hand, and have hearkened unto thy 
words which thou fpakeft unto me. 

22 Now, therefore, I pray thee, hearken thou alfo 
unto the voice of thine handmaid, and let me fet a mor- 
fel of bread before thee ; and eat, that thou mayeft 
have ftrength when thou goeft on thy way. 

23 But he refufed, and faid, I will not eat. But his 
fervants, together with the woman, compelled him ; 
and he hearkened unto their voice. So he arofe from 
the earth, and fat upon the bed. 

24 And the woman had a fat calf in the houfe ; and 
fhe hailed and killed it, and took flour, and kneaded 
it, and did bake unleavened bread thereof : 

25 And llie brought it before Saul, and before his 
fervants ; and they did eat. Then they rofe up, and 
went away that night.

NOW the Philiftines gathered together all their

a fountain which is in Jezreel. 

2 And the lords of the Philiftines paffed on by hun- 
dreds and by thoufands : but David and his men 
paffed on in the rere ward with Achifh. 

3 Then faid the princes of the Philiftines, What 
do thefe Hebrews here ? And Achilh faid unto the 
princes of the Philiftines, Is not this David, the fer- 
vant of Saul the king of Ifrael, which hath been with 
me thefe days, or thefe years, and I have found no 
fault in him iince he fell unto me unto this day ? 

.4 And the princes of the Philiftines were wroth

6 H Then Achifh called David, and faid unto him, 
Surely, as the Lord liveth, thou haft been upright, 
and thy going out and thy coming in with me in the 
hoft, is good in my fight ; for I have not found evil 
in thee fince the day of thy corning unto me unto this 
day : neverthelefs, the f lords favour thee not. 

7 Wherefore now return, and go in peace, that 
thou f difpleafe not the lords of the Philiftines.' 

8 And David faid unto Achifh, But what have I 
done ? and what haft thou found in thy fervant, fo long 
as I have been f with thee unto this day, that I may 
not go fight againft the enemies of my lord the king ? 

9 And Achilh. anfwered and faid to David, I know 
that thou art good in my fight, as an angel of God : 
notwithftanding, the princes of the Philiftines have 
faid, He fliall not go up with us to the battle. 

10 Wherefore now rife up early in the morning 
with thy mailer's fervants that are come with thee : 
and as foon as ye be up early in the morning, and have 
light, depart. 

1 1 So David and his men rofe up early to depart in 
the morning, to return into the land of the Philiftines.. 
And the Philiftines went up to Jezreel, 

CHAP. XXX. 

1 The Amalekites spoil Ziklag. 3 David distressed, 
and asking counsel of God, is encouraged to pursue 
them : 9 he setteth forward, and by means of an 
Egyptian receiveth intelligence of the enemy : 16 he 
smiteth them, and recovereth all the spoil. 22 Da- 
vid's law to divide the spoil equally : 26 he sendeth 
prese7its to his friends. 

ND it came to pafs, when David and his men 
were come to Ziklag on the third day, that the 

Amalekites had invaded the fouth, and Ziklag, and 

fmitten Ziklag, and burned it with fire ; 

2 And had taken the women captives that were 
therein : they flew not any, either great or fmall, but 
carried them away, and went on their wa3> r . 

3 II So David and his men came to the city, and, 
behold, it was burned with fire ; and their wives, and 
their fons, and their daughters, were taken captives. 

4 Then David and the people that were with him, 
lifted up their voice and wept, until they had no more 
power to weep. 

5 And David's two wives were taken captives. 
Ahinoam the Jezreelitefs, and Abigail the wife of 
Nabal the Carmelite. 

6 And David was greatly diftreffed ; for the peo- 
ple fpake of Honing him, becaufe the foul of all the 
people was f grieved, every man for his fons and for 
his daughters :- but David encouraged himfelf in the 
Lord his God. 

7 And David faid to Abiathar the prieft, Ahimei 
lech's ion, I pray thee, bring me hither the ephod. 
And Abiathar brought thither the ephod to David. 

8 And David inquired at the Lord, faying, Shall 
I purfue after this troop ? fliall I overtake them ? And 
he anfwered him, Purfue ; for thou fhalt furely over- 
take them, and without fail recover all. 

9 II So David went, he and the fix hundred men 
that were with him, and came to the brook Beibr^ 
where thofe that were left behind, ftayed. 

10- But David, purfued, he and four hundred men : 
(for two hundred abode behind, which were fo faint 
that they could not go over the brook Befor.)

cjntrar brought him to David, and gave him bread, and he 
y^^y did eat ; and they made him drink water ; 

12 And they gave him a piece of a cake of figs, and 
two clutters of raifins : and when he had eaten, his 
fpirit came again to him ; for he had eaten no bread, 
nor drunk any water, three days and three nights. 

13 And David faid unto him, To whom belongest 
thou ? and whence a/7 thou ? And he faid, I am a young 
man of Egypt, fervant to an Amalekite ; and my 
mailer left me, becaufe three days agone I fell fick. 

14 We made an invafion upon the fouth of the Che- 
rethites, and upon the coast which belongeth to Judah, 
and upon the fouth of Caleb ; and we burned Zikiag 
with fire. 

15 And David faid to him, Canft thou bring me 
down to this company ? And he faid, Swear unto me 
by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, nor_ deliver 
me into the hands of my mailer, and I will bring thee 
down to this company. 

16 H And when he had brought him down, behold, 
they were fpread abroad upon all the earth, eating, and 
drinking, and dancing, becaufe of all the great fpoil 
that they had taken out of the land of the Philiitines, 
and out of the land of Judah. 

17 And David fmote thern from the twilight even 
t Heb. their unto the evening of f the next day : and there efcap- 
morrow. e d n0 £ a man of them, fave four hundred young men 

which rode upon camels, and fled. 

18 And David recovered all that the Amalekites 
had carried away : and David refcued his two wives. 

19 And there was nothing lacking to them, neither 
fmall nor great, neither fons nor daughters, neither 
fpoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them : 
David recovered all. 

20 And David took all the flocks and the herds, 
which they drave before thofe other cattle, and faid, 
This is David's fpoil. 

21 And David came to the two hundred men, 
which were fo faint that they could not follow David, 
whom they had made alfo to abide at the brook Be- 
for : and they went forth to meet David, and to meet 
the people that were with him : and when David came 

a or, a&a near to the people, he || faluted them. 

22 If Then anfwered all the wicked men, and men 
of Belial, of \ thofe that went with David, and faid, 
Becaufe they went not with us, we will not give them 
aught of the fpoil that we have recovered, fave to ev- 
ery man his wife and his children, that they may lead 
them away and depart. 

23 Then faid David, Ye fhall not do fo, my breth- 
ren, with that which the Lord hath given us, who 
hath preferved us, and delivered the company that 
came againil us into our hand. 

24 For who will hearken unto you in this matter ? 
but as his part is that goeth down to the battle, fo 
shall his part be that tarrieth by the fluff : they fhall 
part alike, 

25 And it was so, from that day f forward, that he 
made it a flatute and an ordinance for Ifrael unto this 
day. 

26 II And when David came to Zikiag, he fent of 
the fpoil unto the elders of Judah, even to his friends, 
faying, Behold a f prefent for you of the fpoil of the

CHAP. XXXI. 

I Said having lost his army, and his sons slain, he and 
his armour bearer kill themselves. 7 The Philistines 
take possession of the towns deserted by the Israelites : 
8 they triumph over the dead bodies of Saul and his- 
sons ; 11 The men of J abeshgilead recover the dead 
bodies by night, burn them, and mournfully bury 
their bones at Jabesh. 

NOW a the Philiftines fought againil Ifrael ; and •JJ^f 
the men of Ifrael fled from before the Philiitines, 
and fell down || flain in mount Gilboa. 

2 And the Philiftines followed hard upon Saul and 
upon his fons ; and the Philiftines flew Jonathan, and 
Abinadab, and Melehiihua, Saul's fons. 

3 And the battle went fore againfl Saul, and the 
f archers \ hit him ; and he was fore wounded of the «"""«» 
archers. 

4 Then faid Saul unto his armour bearer, Draw thy 
fword, and thruft me through therewith, left thefe un- 
circumcifed come and thruft me through, and || abufe 
me._ But his armour bearer would not ; for he was fore '"'' 
afraid, Therefore Saul took a fword, and fell upon it. 

5 And when his armour bearer faw that Saul was 
dead, he fell likewiie upon his fword, and died with 
him. 

6 So Saul died, and his three fons, and his armour 
bearer, and all his men, that fame day together. 

7 IF And when the men of Ifrael that were- on the 
other fide of the valley, and they that were on the oth- 
er fide Jordan, faw that the men of Ifrael fled, and that 
Saul and his fons were dead, they forfook the cities 
and fled ; and the Philiftines came and dwelt in them. 

8 And it came to pafs on the morrow, when the 
Philiftines came to ftrip the flain, that they found 
Saul and his three fons fallen in mount Gilboa. 

9 And they cut off his head, and flapped off his 
armour, and lent into the land of the Philiftines round 
about, to publifh it in the houfe of their idols, and

1 An Amaiekite, who informed David of the Israelites' 
defeat, and accused himself of Saul's death, is slain. 
17 David's lamentation over Saul and Jonathan. 

NOW it came to pafs after the death of Saul, when 
David, was returned from 3 the (laughter of the 
Amalekites, and David had abode two days in Ziklag ; 

2 It came even to pafs on the third day, that, be- 
hold, a man came out of the camp from Saul, with 
his clothes rent, and earth upon his head : and so it 
was, when he came to David, that he fell to the earth, 
and did obeifance. 

3 And David faid unto him, From whence corned 
thou ? And he faid unto him, Out of the camp of 
Ifrael am I efcaped. 

4 And David laid unto him, f How went the mat- 
ter ? I pray thee, tell me* And he anfwered, That 
the people are fled from the battle, and many of the 
people alfo are fallen and dead, and Saul and Jonathan 
his fon are dead alfo. 

5 And David laid unto the young man that told 
him, How knoweft thou that Saul and Jonathan his 
fon be dead ? . 

6 And the young man that told him, faid, As I 
happened by chance upon mount Gilboa, behold, 
Saul leaned upon his (pear ; and, lo, the chariots and 
horfemen followed hard after_ him. 

7 And when he looked behind him, he faw me, and 
called unto me. And I anfwered, f Here am I. 

8 And he faid unto me, Who art thou ? And I 
anfwered him, I am an Amaiekite. 

9 He laid unto me again, Stand, I pray thee, upon 
me, and flay me : for || anguifh is come upon me, 
becaufe my life is yet whole in me. 

10 So lilood upon him and fiew him, becaufe I was 
fure that he could not live after that he was fallen : 
and I took the crown that was upon his head, and the 
bracelet that was on his arm, and have brought them 
hither unto my lord. 

11 If Then David took hold on his clothes, and b rent 
them, and likewife all the men that were with him. 

12 And they mourned and wept, and failed until 
even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his fon, and for the 
people of the Lord, and for the houfe of Ifrael ; be- 
caufe they were fallen by the fword. 

13 If And David faid Unto the young man that told 
him, Whence art thou ? And he anfwered, I am the 
fon of a ftranger, an Amaiekite. 

14 And David laid unto him, c How waft thou not 
afraid to ftretch forth thine hand to deitroy the Lord's 
anointed ? 

15 And David called one of the young men, and 
faid, Go near, andMl upon him. And he fmote him 
that he died. ^ 

16 And David faid unto him, Thy blood be upon 
thy head ; for thy mouth hath teftified againft thee,

19 The beauty of Ifrael is flain upon thy high 
places : how are the mighty fallen ! 

20 e Tell it not in Gath, publifh it not in" the ftreets e 
of Afkelon ; left the daughters of the Philiftines re- 
joice, left the daughters of the uncircumcifed triumph. 

21 Ye mountains of Gilboa, let there be no dew, 
neither let there be rain upon you, nor fields of offer- 
ings : for there the fhield of the mighty is vilely call 
away, the ihield of Saul, as though he had not been 
anointed with oil. 

22 From the blood of the flain, from the fat of the 
mighty, the bow of Jonathan turned not back, and the 
fword of Saul returned not empty. 

23 Saul and Jonathan were lovely and || pleafant in B 
their lives, and in their death they were not divided : 
they were fwifter than eagles, they were ftronger than 
lions. 

24 Ye daughters of Ifrael, weep over Saul, who 
clothed you in fcarlet, with other delights, who put 
on ornaments of gold upon your apparel. 

25 How are the mighty fallen in the midft of the bat- 
tle ! O Jonathan, thou wast flain in thine high places. 

26 I am diftreffed for thee my brother Jonathan : 
very pleafant haft thou been unto me : thy love to me 
was wonderful, palling the love of women. 

27 How are the mighty fallen, and the weapons of

2 So David went up thither, and his two wives 
alfo, Ahinoam the Jezreelitefs, and Abigail, Nabal's

3 And his men that ivere with him did David bring 
up, every man with his houfehold : and they dwelt

9 And he made him king over Gilead, and over the 
Afhurites, and over Jezreel, and over Ephraim, and 
over Benjamin, and over ail Ifrael. 

10 Ifnbofheth, Saui's fon, was forty years old 
when he began to reign over Ifrael, and reigned two 
years : but the houfe of Judah followed David. 

1 1 (And the t time that David was king in Hebron 
over the houfe of Judah, was feven years and fix 
months. 

12 IF And Abner the fon of Ner, and the fervants 
of Ifnbofheth the fon of Saul, went out from Mahan- 
aim to Gibeon. 

13 And Joab the fon of Zeruiah and the fervants of 
out, and met t together by the pool of 

Gibeon : and they fat down, the one on the one fide of 
the pool, and the other on the other fide of the pool. 

14 And Abner faid to Joab, Let the young men now 
arife and play before us. And Joab faid, Let them arife. 

15 Then there arofe and went over by number 
twelve of Benjamin, which pertained to ifhbofheth 
the fon of Saul, and twelve of the fervants of David. 

16 And they caught every one his fellow by the 
head, and thrust his fword in his fellow's fide ; fo they 
fell down together : wherefore that place was called 
li Heikathhazzurim, which is in Gibeon. 

17 And there was a very fore battle that day ; and 
Abner was beaten, and the men of Ifrael, before the 
fervants of David. 

18 If And there were three fons of Zeruiah there, 

Joab, and Abifhai, and Afahei : and Afahel was as 
jHeb. of his iight f of foot f as a wiIdroe>

thath in the h e turned not to the right hand nor to the left f from 
+ Ke'b. fro,,, following Abner. 

20 Then Abner looked behind him, and faid, Art 
thou Afahel ? And he anfwered, I am. 

21 And Abner faid to him, Turn thee afide to thy 
right hand or to thy left, and lay thee hold on one of 
the young men, and take thee his || armour. But 
Afahel would not turn afide from following of him. 

22 And Abner faid again to Afahel, Turn thee 
'fide from following me : wherefore fhould I finite 
thee to the ground ? How then fhould I hold up my 
face to Joab thy brother ? 

23 Howbeit, he refufed to turn afide : wherefore 
Abner with the hinder end of the fpear fmote him un- 
der the fifth rib, that the fpear came out behind him ; 
and he fell down there, and died in the fame place : 
and it came to pafs, that as many as came to the place 
where Afahel fell down and died, flood ftill. 

24 Joab aifo and Abifhai purfued after Abner : and 
the fun went down when they were come to the hill 
of Ammah, that lleth before Giah, by the way of the 
wildernefs of Gibeon. 

25 If And the children of Benjamin gathered them - 
felves together after Abner, and became one troop, 
and flood on the top of an hill. 

26 Then Abner called to Joab, and faid, Shall the 
fword devour for ever ? knoweft thou not that it will 
be bitternefs in the latter end ? how long fhall it be 
then ere thou bid the people return from following 
their brethren ? 

27 And Joab faid, As God liveth, unlefs thou hadft 
thfmmiH- fpokeri, fiirely then + in the morning the people had

|| gone up every one from following his brother. 

28 So Joab blew a trumpet, and all the people flood 
ftill, and purfued after Ifrael no more, neither fought 
they any more. 

29 And Abner and his men walked all that night 
through the plain, and paffed.over Jordan, and went 
through ail Bithron, and they came to Mahanaim. 

30 If And Joab returned from following Abner : and 
when he had gathered all the people together, there 
lacked of David's fervants nineteen men, and Afahel. 

3 1 But the fervants of David had fmitten of Benja- 
min, and of Abner's men, so that three hundred and 
threefcore men died. 

32 If And they took up Afahel, and buried him in 
the fepulchre of his father, which was in Bethlehem. 
And Joab and his men went all night, and they came 
to Hebron at break of day. 

CHAP. III. 
1 During the war David still waxeth stronger : 2 six 
sons born to him in Hebron. 6 Abner displeased with 
Ishbosheth, threateneth to revolt to David. 13 David 
requireth a condition to bring him his wife Michal. 
17 Abner having communed with the Israelites, is 
feasted by David, and sent away in peace. 22 Joab, 
returning from battle, is displeased with the king, 
andkilleth Abner. 28 David curseth Joab, 31 and 
mourneth for Abner. 

NOW there was long war between the houfe of 
Saul and the houfe of David : but David waxed 
ftronger and flronger, and the houfe of Saul waxed 
weaker and weaker. 

_ 2 If And unto David were fons bom in Hebron : and 
his firflborn was Amnon, of Ahinoam the Jezreelitefs; 

3 And his fecond, Chileab, of Abigail the wife of 
Nabal the Carmelite ; and the third, Abfalom, the fon 
of Maacah, the daughter of Talmai king of Gefhur ; 

4 And the fourth, Adonijah, the fon of Haggith ; 
and the fifth, Shephatiah, the fon of Abital ; 

5 And the fixth, Ithream, by Eglah, David's wife. 
Thefe were born to David in Hebron. 

6 If And it came to pafs, while there was war between 
the houfe of Saul and the houfe of David, that Abner 
made himfelf flrong for the houfe of Saul. 

7 And Saul had a concubine, whofe name was a Riz- 
pah, the daughter of Aiah : and _ Ishbosheth fkid to 
Abner, wherefore haft thou gone in unto my father's 
concubine ? 

8 Then was Abner very wroth for the words of Ifh- 
bofheth, and faid, Am I a dog's head, which againft 
Judah do fhew kindnefs this day unto the houfe of 
Saul thy father, to his brethren, and to his friends, 
and have not delivered thee into the hand of 1J avid, 
that thou chargeft me today with a fault concerning 
this woman ? 

9 So do God to Abner, and more alfo, except as 
the Lord hath fworn to David, even fo I do to him ; 

10 To tranflate the kingdom from the houfe of 
Saul, and to fet upon the throne of David over Ifrael 
and over Judah, from Dan even to Beeriheba. 

1 1 And he could not anfwer Abner a word again, 
becaufe he feared him. 

12 If And Abner fent meffengers to David on his 
behalf, faying, Whofe is the land ? faying also, Make 
thy league with me, and, behold, my hand shall be 
with thee, to bring about all Ifrael unto thee. 

13 If And he faid, Well ; I will make a league with

14 And David fent meffengers to Ifhbofheth, Saul's 
Ton, faying, Deliver me my wife Michal, which I efpouf- 
ed to me b for an hundred forefkins of the Philiftines. 

15 And Ifhboflieth fent, and took her from her 
hufband, even from c Phaltiel the fon of Laifli. 

16 And her hufband went with her f along weep- 
ing behind her to Bahurim. Then faid Abner unto 
him, Go, return. And he returned. _ 

17 II And Abner had communication with the el- 
ders of Ifrael, faying, Ye fought for David t in times 

theihiriiay. p a ft f fa king over VOU. 

18 Now then do it; for the Lord hath fpoken of 
David, faying, By the hand of my fervant David I will 
fave my people Ifrael out of the hand of the Philif- 
tines, and out of the hand of all their enemies. 

19 And Abner alfo fpake in the ears of Benjamin : 
and Abner went alio to fpeak in the ears of David in 
Hebron all that feemed good to Ifrael, and that teem- 
ed good to the whole houfe of Benjamin. 

20 So Abner came to David to Hebron, and twen- 
ty men with him. And David made Abner, and the 
men that were with him, afeaft._ 

21 And Abner faid unto David, I will arife and go, 
and will gather all Ifrael unto my lord the king, that 
they may make a league with thee, and that thou 
maye.ft reign over all that thine heart defireth. And 
David fent Abner away ; ■ and he went in peace. 

22 \ And, behold, the fervants of David and Joab 
came from pursuing a, troop, and brought in a great fpoil 
with them : but Abner was not with David in Hebron ; 
for he had fent him away, and he was gone in peace. 

23 When Joab and all the hofl that was with him 
were come, they told Joab, faying, Abner the fon of 
Ner came to the king, and he hath fent him away, 
and he is gone in peace. 

24 Then Joab came to the king, and faid, What haft 
thou done ? behold Abner came unto thee ; why is it 
that thou haft fent him away, and he is quite gone ? 

25 Thou knoweit Abner the fon of Ner, that he 
came to deceive^ thee, and to know thy going out, 
and thy coming in, and to know all that thou doeft. 

26 And when Joab was come out from David, he 
fent meffengers after Abner, which brought him again 
from the well of Sirah : but David knew it not. 

27 And when Abner was returned to Hebron, Joab 
d . ttings 2 5. d took }-,i m afjde m t ne g a + e to fpeak with him || quiet-

29 Let it reft on the head of Joab, and on all his

that leaneth on a fluff, or that falleth on the fword, or 
that lacketh bread. 

30 So Joab and Abifhai his brother flew Abner, 
becaufe he had flain their brother f Afahel at Gibeon

36 And all the people took notice of it, and it 
f pleafed them : as whatfoever the king did, pleafed 
all the people. 

37 For all the people, and all Ifrael, underftood that 
day, that it was not of the king to flay Abner the fon

CHAP. IV. 

1 The Israelites are troubled at the death of Abner. 2 
Baanah and Rechab slay Ishbosheth, and bring his 
head to David to Hebron. 9 David causeth them to 
be put to death, and Ishbosheth' 's head to be buried. 

AN D when Saul's fon heard that Abner was dead 
in Hebron, his hands were feeble, and all the 
Israelites were troubled. 

2 IT And Saul's fon had two men that were captains 
of bands ; the name of the one was Baanah, and the 

name of the f other Rechab, the fons of Rimmon a tHeb. **«»,*. 
Beerothite, of the children of Benjamin : (forBeeroth 
alfo was reckoned to Benjamin : 

3 And the Beerothites fled to Gittaim, and were

4 And Jonathan, Saul's fon, had a fon that was lame 
of his feet. He was five years old when the tidings 
came of Saul and Jonathan out of Jezreel, and his 
nurfe took him up and fled : and it came to pafs, as 
fhe made hafte to flee, that he fell, and became lame. 
And his name was Mephibofheth. 

5 And the fons of Rimmon the Beerothite, Rechab 
and Baanah, went and came about the heat of the 
day to the houfe of Ifhboflieth, who lay on a bed at 
noon. 

6 And they came thither into the midft of the houfe, 
as though they would have fetched wheat ; and they 
fmote him under the fifth rib : and Rechab and Baanah 
his brother efcaped. 

7 For when they came into the houfe, he lay on his 
bed in his bed chamber, and they fmote him, and 
flew him, and beheaded him, and took his head, and 
gat them away through the plain all night. 

8 And they brought the head of Ifhbofheth unto 
David to Hebron, and faid to the king, Behold the 
head of Ifhbofheth the fon of Saul, thine enemy , which 
fought thy life ; and the Lord hath avenged my lord 
the king this day of Saul, and of his feed.

David. 13 Eleven sons are born to David in Jeru-

Philistines at Baalperazim, 22 and again at the

HEN a came all the tribes of Ifrael to David un-

2 Alfo in time pall, when Saul was king^ over us, 
thou waft he that leddeft out and broughcefl in Ifrael : 
and the Lor d faid to thee, b Thou ihalt feed my peo-

3 So all the elders of Ifrael came to the king to 
Hebron ; and king David made a league with them 
in Hebron before the Lord : and they anointed Da-

4 IF David was thirty years old when he began to 
reign, and he reigned forty years.

6 IF And the king and his men went to Jerufalem

fpake unto David, faying, Except thou take away the

aude into the houfe of Obededom the Gittite. 

11 And the ark of the Lord continued in the houfe 
of Obededom the Gittite three months : and the 
Lord blefled Obededom, and all his houfehold. 

12 IT And it was told king David, laying', The 
Lord hath blelfed the houfe of Obededom, and all 
that pertaineth unto him, becaufe of the ark of God.

13 And it was so, that, when they that bare the ark 
of the Lord had gone fix paces, he facrificed oxen and 
fadings. 

14 And David danced before the Lord with all his 
might ; and David was girded with a linen ephod. 

15" So David and ail the houfe of Ifrael brought up 
the ark of the Lord with fhcuting,. and' with the found 
of the trumpet. 

16 And as the ark of the Lord, came into the city 
of David, Michal, Saul's daughter, looked through a 
window, and faw king David leaping and. dancing be- 
fore the Lord ; and fhe defpifed him in her heart, 

17 If And they brought in the ark of the Lord, and 
fet it in his place, in the midil of the tabernacle that 
David had f pitched for it : and David offered burnt 
offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.. 

18 And as foon as David had made an end of offer-

* the people in the name of the Lord of hofts. 

19 And he dealt among all the people, even among 
the whole multitude of Ifrael, as well to the women as 
men, to every one a cake of bread, and a good piece of 
flesh, and a flagon of wine. So all the people departed 
every one to his houfe. 

20 U Then David returned to blefs his houfehold. 
And Michal, the daughter of Saul, came out to meet 
David, and faid, How glorious was the king, of Ifrael 
today, who uncovered himfelf today in the eyes of the 
handmaids of his fervants, as one of the vain fellows 

I or, opmiy. !l ihamelefiiiy uncovereth himfelf ! 

21 And David faid unto Michal, it was before the 
Lord, which chofe me before thy father, and before 
all his houfe, to appoint me ruler over the people of 
the Lord, over Ifrael : therefore will I play before 
the Lord. 

22 And I will yet be more vile than thus, and will be

2 That the king faid unto Nathan the prophet, See 
now, I dwell in an houfe of cedar, but the ark of God 
dwelleth, within curtains. 

3 And Nathan faid to the king, Go, do all that is in 
thine heart : for the Lord is with thee. 

4 T\ And it came to pais that night, that the word of 
the Lord came unto Nathan, laying, 

5 Go and tell f my fervant David, Thus faith the 
' Lord, Shalt thou build me an houfe for me to dwell in ? 

6 Whereas I have not dwelt in any houfe fmce the 
time that I brought up the children of Ifrael out of 
Egypt even to this day, but have walked in a tent 
and in a tabernacle. 

7 In all the placeswherem I have walked with all the 
children of Ifrael, fpakel a word with b any of thetribes 
of Ifrael, whom I commanded to feed my people Ifrael, 
laying' , Why build ye not me an houfe of cedar ? 

8 Now, therefore, fo ihalt thou fay unto my fervant 
David, Thus faith the Lord of hofts, c I took thee 
from the fheepcote, f from following the fheep, to be 
ruler over my people, over Ifrael : 

9 And T was with thee whitherfoever thou wenteft, 
and have cut off all thine enemies t out of thy fight, 
and have made thee a great name, like unto the name 
of the great men that are in the earth. 

10 (Moreover, I will appoint a place for my people 
Ifrael, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a 
place of their own, and move no more : neither ihall 
the children of wickednefs afflict them any more, as 
beforetime. 

11 And as fmce 'the time that I commanded judges 
to be over my people Ifrael, and have caufed thee to 
reft from all thine enemies.) Alfo the Lord telletli 
thee, that he will make thee an houfe. 

12 KAnd d when thy days be fulfilled, and thou 
ihalt ileep'wiih thy fathers, I will fet up thy feed after 
thee, which ihall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will 
eftablifh his kingdom. 

13 e He ihall build an houfe for my name, and I will

14 f I will be his father, and he ihail be. my fon. s If 
he commit iniquity, I will chaften him with the rod

16 And thine houfe, and thy kingdomj ihall be

1 David, upon inquiry, is informed by Ziba of Mephi-- 
bosheth : 7 for Jonathan's sake he entertaineth him 
at his table, and restoreth him all that was Saul's : 9 
he appointeth Ziba and his sons to till the land. 

AND David faid, Is there yet any that is left of the* 
houfe of Saul, that I may iliew him kindnefs for 
Jonathan's fake ? 

2 And there was of the houfe of Saul a fervant, 
whofe name was Ziba : and, when they had called 
him unto David, the king faid unto him, Art thou 
Ziba ? And he faid, Thy fervant is he. 

3 And the king faid, Is there not yet any of the 
houfe of Saul, that I may fhew the kindnefs of God 
unto him ? And Ziba faid unto the king, Jonathan 
hath yet a fon, which is a lame on his feet. 

4 And the king faid unto him, Where is he ? And 
Ziba faid unto the king, Behold, he is in the houfe 
of Machir, the fon of Ammiel, in Lodebar. 

5 If Then king David fent-and fetched him out of the 
houfe of Machir, the fon of Ammiel, from Lodebar. 

6 Now, when Mephibofheth, the fon of Jonathan, 
the fon of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his 
face, and did reverence. And David faid, Mephibo- 
fheth ! And he anfwered, Behold thy fervant ! 

7 If And David faid unto him, Fear not : for I will 
furely fhew thee kindnefs for Jonathan thy father's fake, 
and will reftore thee all the land of Saul thy father j 
and thou malt eat bread at my table continually. 

8 And he bowed himfelf, and faid, What is thy fer- 
vant, that thou fhouldeft look upon fuch a dead dog 
as I am f 

9 If Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's fervant, 
and faid unto him, I have given unto thy mailer's fon 
all that pertained to Saul, and to all his houfe. 

10 Thou, therefore, and thy fons, and thy fervants, 
mail till the land for him, and thou fhalt bring in the 
fruits that thy mailer's fon may have food to eat : but 
Mephibofheth thy mailer's fon fliall eat bread alway

king, he fliali eat at my table, as one of the king's ions. 

12 And Mephibofheth had a young fon, whole

1 David's messengers sent to comfort Hanun the son of 
Nahash, are disgracefully treated. 6 The Ammon- 
ites, strengthened by the Syrians, are overcome by 
joab and Abishai. 1 5 Radar ezer, sending a new ar- 
my of Syrians under Shrub ach, is defeated by David. 
AN D it came to pafs, after this, that the a king of 
the children of Ammon died, and Hanun his 
fon reigned in his ftead. 

2 Then faid David, I will fhew kindnefs unto Ha- 
nun the fon of Nahafh, as his father f he wed kindnefs 
unto me. And David fent to comfort him by the 
hand of his fervants for his father^ And David's fer- 
vants came into the land of the children of Ammon. _ 

3 And the princes of the children of Ammon faid 
unto Hanun their lord, f Thinkeft thou that David 
doth honour thy father, that he hath fent comforters 
unto thee ? hath not David rather, fent his fervants 
unto thee to fearch the city, and to fpy it out and to 
overthrow it ? 

4 Wherefore Hanun took David's fervants, and 
fhaved off the one half of their beards, and cut off 
their garments in the middle, even to their buttocks, 
and fent them away. 

5 When they told it unto David, he fent to meet 
them, becaufe the men were greatly afhamed : and 
the king faid, Tarry at Jericho until your beards be 
grown, and then return. 

6 If And when the children of Ammon faw that they 
(tank before David, the children of Ammon fent and 
hired the Syrians of Bethrehob, and the Syrians of 
Zoba, twenty thoufand footmen, and of king Maacah 
a thoufand men, and of Iihtob twelve thoufand men. 

7 And when David heard of it, he fent Joab, and 
all the hoft of the mighty men. 

8 And the children of Ammon came out, and put 
the battle in array at the entering in of the gate : and 
the Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Iihtob, and 
Maacah, were by themfelves in the field. 

9 When Joab faw that the front of the battle was 
againfl him before and behind, he chofe of all the choice 
men ofIfrael,andput them in array againfl the Syrians : 

10 And the refl of the people he delivered into the 
hand of Abifhai his brother, that he might put them 
in array againfl the children of Ammon. 

11 And he faid, if the Syrians be too flrong for me, 
then thou fhalt help me ; but if the children of Ammon 
be too flrong for thee, then I will come and help thee. 

12 Be of good courage, and let us play the men for 
our people, and for the cities of our God ; and the 
Lord do that which fecmeth him good. 

13 And Joab drew nigh, and the people that were 
with him , unto the battle againfl the Syrians : and 
they fled before him. 

14 And when the children of Ammon faw that the 
Syrians were fled, then fled they alfo before Abifhai, 

2F 



and entered into the city. So Joab returned from the 
children of Ammon, and came to Jerufalem. 

15 IT And when the Syrians faw that they were fmit- 
ten before Ifrael, they gathered themfelves together. 
_ 16 And Hadarezer fent, and brought out the Sy- 
rians that were beyond the river ; and they came to 
Helam : and Shobach, the captain of the hofl of Ha- 
darezer, went before them. 

17 And when it was told David, he gathered all 
Ifrael together^ and pafled over Jordan, and came to 
Helam : and the Syrians fet themfelves in array 
againfl David, and fought with him. 

18 And the Syrians fled before Ifrael ; and David 
flew the men o/Teven hundred chariots of the Syrians, 
and forty thoufand horfemen, and fnaote Shobach, the 
captain of their hofl, who died there. 

19 And when all the kings that were fervants to Ha- 
darezer faw that they were fmitten before Ifrael, they 
made peace with Ifrael, and ferveel them. So the Sy- 
rians feared to help the children of Ammon any more.

but refuseth to go to his house. 14 He carrieth to 
Joab a letter requiring his. death. 18 Joab sendeth 
the news thereof to David. 26 David taketh Bath-

AN D it came to pafs, f after the year was expir-

that a David fent Joab, and his fervants with him, and 
all Ifrael : and they dellroyed the children of Amnion, 
and befieged Rabbah : but David tarried flilf at Jeru-

2 11 And it came to pafs in an evening tide, that 
David arofe from off his bed, and walked upon the 
roof of the king's houfe : and from the roof he law 
a woman wafhing heifelf ; and the woman was very 
beautiful to look upon. 

3 And David fent and inquired after the woman. 
And one faid. Is not this Bathfheba, the daughter of 
Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite ? 

4 And David fent meffengers and took her : and 
fhe came in unto him, and he lay with her ; (j| for fhe 
was b purified from her uncleannefs ;) and fhe return- 
ed unto her houfe. 

5 IT And the woman conceived, and fent and told 
David, and faid, I am with child. 

6 And David fent to Joab, saying, Send me Uriah 
the Hittite. And Joab fent Uriah to David. 

7 And when Uriah was come unto him, David de- 
manded of him f how Joab did, and how the people 
did, and how the war profpered. 

8 And David faid to Uriah, Go down to thy houfe 
and wafh thy feet. And Uriah departed out of the 
king's houfe, and there f followed him. a mefs of meat

9 But Uriah flept at the door of the king's houfe 
with all the fervants of his lord, and went not down 
to his houfe. 

10 And when they had told David, faying, Uriah 
went not down unto his houfe, David faid unto Uriah, 
Camefl thou not from thy journey ? why then didft

thy foul liveth, I will not do this thing. 

12 And David faid to Uriah, Tarry here today 
alfo, and tomorrow I will let thee depart. So Uriah 
abode in Jerufalem that day, and the morrow. 

13 And when David had called him, he did eat 
and drink before him ; and he made him drunk : and 
at even he went out to lie on his bed with the fervants 
of his lord, but went not down to his houfe. 

14 ff And it came to pafs in the morning, that David 
wrote a letter to Joab, and fent it by the hand of Uriah. 

15 And he wrote in the letter, faying, Set ye Uriah

fervants of David ; and Uriah the Hittite died alfo.. 

18 11 Then Joab fent and told David all the things 
concerning the war ; 

19 And charged the meffenger, faying, When thou 
haft made an end of telling the matters of the war 
unto the king, 

20 And if fo be that the king's wrath arife, and he

22 If So the meffenger went, and came and fhewed 
David all that Joab had fent him for. 

23 And the meffenger faid unto David, Surely the 
men prevailed againft us, and came out unto us into 
the field, and we were upon them even unto the en- 
tering of the gate. 

24 And the fhooters fhot from off the wall upon 
thy fervants ; and some of the king's fervants be dead, 
and thy fervant Uriah the Hittite is dead alfo. 

25 Then David faid unto the meffenger, Thus

26 If And when the wife of Uriah heard that Uriah 
her hufband was dead, fhe mourned for her hufband. 

27 And when the mourning was paft, David fent

II. SAMUEL. David confesseth his sin, and is pardoned, 

two men in one city, the one rich, and the other poor. 

2 The rich man had exceeding many flocks and 
herds ; 

3 But the poor man had nothing fa ve one little ewe 
lamb, which he had bought, and nourifhed up ; and it 
grew up together with him, and with his children : it 
did eat of his own f meat, and drank of his own cup, iH A««r«ft 
and lay in his bofom,. and was unto him as a daughter. 

4 And there came a traveller unto the rich man ; 
and he fpared to take of his own flock, and of hi& 
own herd, to drefs for the wayfaring man that was 
come unto him ;. but took the poor man's lamb and 
dreffed it for the man that was come to him.. 

5 And David's anger was greatly kindled againft, 
the man :. and he faid to. Nathan, As the Lord liveth, 
the man that hath done this thing || fhall furely die : i'd*ft««* 

6 And he fhall reftore the lamb a fourfold, became £&££&,. 
he did this thing, and becaufe he had no pity. 

^ 7 If And Nathan faid to David^ Thou art the man- 
Thus faith the Lord God of Ifrael, I b anointed thee bisanns 
king over Ifrael, and I delivered thee out of the hand ' 3 ' 
of Saul ;:. 

8 And I gave thee thy mafter's houfe, and thy maf- 
ter's wives into thy bofom, and gave thee the houfe 
of Ifrael and of Judah ; and if that had been too little, 
I would moreover have given unto thee fitch and fuch, 
things- 

9 Wherefore haft thou defpifed the commandment 
of the Lord, to do evil in his fight ? thou haft killed 
Uriah the Hittite with the fword, and haft taken his 
wife to be thy wife, and haft flam him with the fword 
of the children of Ammon. 

10 Now,therefore,the fword fhall never depart from 
thine houfe ; becaufe thou haft defpifed me, and haft 
taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be thy wife. 

11 Thus faith the Lord, Behold, I will raife up 
evil againft thee out of thine own houfe ; and I will 
c take thy wives before thine eyes, and give them unto cSS'M'lf' 
thy neighbour, and he ihall lie with thy wives in the 
fight of this fun. 

12 For thou didft it fecretly :. but I will, do- this 
thing before all Ifrael, and before the fum 

13 And David faid unto Nathan,. I have finned 
againft the Lord. And Nathan faid unto David, d The ^^f" 
Lord alfo hath put away thy fin ; thou fhalt not die. 

14 Howbeit, becaufe by this deed thou haft given 
great occafion to the enemies of the Lord to blaf- 
pheme, the child alfo that is born unto, thee fhall 
furely die. 

15 1T And Nathan departed unto his houfe : and 
the Lord itruck the child that Uriah's wife bare 
unto David, and it was very fick- 

16 David, therefore befought God for the child ; 
and David t failed and went in and lay all night upon tHeb./«„*j 
the earth. a fait. 

_ 17 And the elders of his houfe arofe, and went to 
him to raife him up from the earth : but he would 
not, neither did he eat bread with them. 

18 And it came to pafs on the feventh day, that the 
child died. And the fervants of David feared to tell 
him that the child was dead ; for they faid, Behold, 
while the child was yet alive, we fpake unto him,and he 
would not hearken unto our voice ; how will he then 
t vex himfelf, if we tell him that the child is dead ? . b 

19 But when David faw that his fervants whifpered, i-Jt.' 
David perceived that the child was dead : therefore

David faid unto his fervants, Is the child dead ? And 
they faid, He is dead. 

20 Then David arofe from the earth, and waihed, 
and anointed himself, and changed his apparel, and 
came into the houfe of the Lord, and worfhipped ; 
then he came to his own houfe ; and, when he re- 
quired, they fet bread before him, and he did eat. 
"21 Then faid his fervants unto him, What thing is 
this that thou hail done ? thou didft fall and weep for 
the child while it was alive ; but when the child was 
dead, thou didft rife and eat bread. 

22 And he faid, While the child was yet alive, I 
failed and wept: for I faid, Who can tell, whether 
God will be gracious to me, that the child may live ? 

23 But now he is dead, wherefore lhould I fall ? 
can I bring him back -again? I fhall go to him, but 
he fhall not return to me. 

24 1f And David comforted Bathfheba his wife, 
and went in unto her, and lay with her : and e ihe 
bare a fon, and f he called his name Solomon; and 
the Lord loved him. 

-25 And he fent by the hand of Nathan the prophet ; 
« That is, so and he called his name II Jedidiah, becaufe of the 
Lord-. 

26 If And Joab fought againft Rabbah of the chil- 
dren of Ammon, and took the royal city. 

27 And Joab fent meffengers to David, and faid, 
I have fought againft Rabbah, and have taken the 
city of waters, 

28 Now, therefore, gather the reft of the people 
together, and encamp againft the city, and take it ; 

! .left I take the city, and t it be called after my name. 

29 And David gathered all the people together, and 
went to Rabbah, and fought againft it, and took it. 

30 s And he took their king's crown from oft' his head, 
(the weight whereof was a talent of gold with the prec- 
ious ftones,) and it was set on David's head : and he 
brought forth the fpoil of the city t in great abundance. 

31 And he brought forth the people that were 
therein, and put them under faws, and under harrows 
of iron, and under axes of iron, and made them pafs 
through the brickkiln : and thus did he unto all the 
cities of the children of Ammon. So David and all 
the people returned unto Jerufalem.

5 And Jonadab faid unto him, Lay thee down on thy 
bed, and make thyfelf fick : and when thy father com- 
eth to fee thee, fay unto him, I pray thee, let my lifter 
Tamar come, and give me meat, and drefs the meat 
in my fight, that I may fee it, and eat it at her hand. 

6 If So Amnon lay down, and made himfelf fick : 
and when the king was come to fee him, Amnon faid 
unto the king, I pray thee, let Tamar my filler come, 
and make me a couple of cakes in my fight, that i 
may cat at her hand. 

7 Then David fent home to Tamar, faying, Go now 
to thy brother Amnon's houfe, and drefs him meat. 

8 SoTamarwenttoher brother Amnon's houfe, and 
he was laid down. And fhe took || flour, and kneaded it, 
and made cakes in his light, and did bake the cakes : 

_ 9 And fhe took a pan, and poured them out before 
him ; but he refufedto eat. And Amnon faid, Have 
out all men from me. And they went out every man 
from him. 

10 And Amnon faid unto Tamar, Bring the meat 
into the chamber, that I may eat of thine hand. And 
Tamar took the cakes which Ihe had made, and 
brought them into the chamber to Amnon her brother. 

11 And when fhe had brought them unto him to 
eat, he took hold of her, and faid unto her, Come, 
lie with me, my filler. 

12 And ihe anfwered him, Nay, my brother, do 
not f force me ; for a t no fuch thing ought to be clone 
in Ifrael ; do not thou this folly. 

13 And I, whither fhall I caufe my fhame to go ? 
and as for thee, thou fhalt be as one of the fools in 
Ifrael. Now, therefore, I pray thee, fpeak unto the 
king : for he will not withhold me from thee. 

14 Ho wbeit he would not hearken unto her voice , but , 
being ftronger than fhe, forced her, and lay with her. 

1 5 If Then Amnon hated her t exceedingly ; fo that 
the hatred wherewith he hated her was greater than 
the love wherewith he had loved her : and Amnon 
faid unto her, arife, begone. 

16 And flie faid unto him, There is no caufe ; this 
evil in fending me away is greater than the other that 
thou didft unto me. But he would not hearken unto her. 

17 Then he called his fervant that miniftered unto 
him, and faid, Put now this woman out from me, and 
bolt the door after her. 

18 And she had 9. garment of divers colours upon 
her : for with fuch robes were the king's daughters that 
were virgins apparelled. Then his fervant brought 
her out, and bolted the door after her. 

19 If And Tamar put allies on her head, and rent 
her garment of divers colours that was on her, and 
laid her hand on her head, and went on crying. 

20 And Abfalom her brother laid unto her, Hath 
Amnon thy brother been with thee ? but hold now 
thy peace, my filler : he is thy brother : f regard not 
this thing. So Tamar remained t defolate in her 
brother Abfalom's houfe. 

21 If But when king David heard of all thefe things 
he was very wroth. 

22 And Abfalom fpake unto his brother Amnon 
neither good nor bad : for Abfalom hated Amnon, 
becaufe he had forced his lifter Tamar. 

23 If And it came to pafs, after two full years, that 
Abfalom had fheep fhcarers in Baalhazor, which is be- 
fidc Ephraim : and Abfalom invited all the king^s fons.

25 And the king faid to Abfalom, Nay, my fon, 
let us not all now go, left we be chargeable unto thee. 
And he preffed him : howbeit, he would not go, but 
bleffed him. 

26 Then faid Abfalom, If not, I pray thee, let my 
brother Amnon go with us. And the king faid unto 
him, Why fhould he go with thee ? 

27 But Abfalom preffed him, that he let Amnon 
and all the king's fons go with him. 

28 1j Now Abfalom had commanded his fervants, 
Saying, Mark ye now when Aranon's heart is merry 
with wine ; and when I fay unto you, Smite Amnon, 
then kill him, fear not : || have not I commanded you ? 
be courageous, and f be valiant. 

29 And the fervants of Abfalom did unto Amnon as 
Abfalom had commanded : then all the king 's fons arofe , 
and every man f gat him up upon his mule, and fled. 

30 H And it came to pafs, while they were in the way, 
that tidings came to David, faying, Abfalom hath flain 
all the king's fons, and there is not one of them left. 

31 Then the king arofe, and tare his garments, and 
lay on the earth ; and all his fervants flood by with 
their clothes rent. 

32 11 And Jonadab the fon of Shimeah, David's bro- 
ther, anfwered and faid, Let not my lord fuppofe that 
they have flain all the young men the king's fons ; for 
Amnon only is dead : for by the f appointment of 

11 or, Jx/ei Abfalom this hath been || determined, from the day 
that he forced his filler Tamar. 

33 Now, therefore, let not my lord the king take 
the thing to his heart, to think that all the king's fons 
are dead ; for Amnon only is dead. 

34 But Abfalom fled. And the young man that 
kept the watch, lifted up his eyes and looked, and, 
behold, there came much people by the way of the 
hill fide behind him. 

35 And Jonadab faid unto the king, behold, the 
]n^ a the rd ' king's fons come ! f as thy fervant faid, fo it is. 
™vi$ thy ^ ^ nc ^ ^ came to Pafe, as foon as he had made an

for his fon every day.

woman that had a long time mourned for the dead ; 

3 And come to the king, and fpeak on this manner 
unto him. So Joab put the words in her mouth. 

4 If And when the woman of Tekoah fpake to the 
king, fhe fell on her face to the ground, and did obei- 
fance, and faid, f Help, O king ! 

5 And the king laid unto her, What aileth thee ? 
And fhe anfwered, I am indeed a widow woman, and 
mine hufband is dead. 

6 And thy handmaid had two fons, and they two 
ftrove together in the field, and there was t none to 
part them, but the onefmote the other, and flew him. 

7 And, behold, the whole family is rifen againfl 
thine handmaid ; and they faid. Deliver him that 
fmote his brother, that we may kill him, for the life of 
his brother, whom he flew ; and we will deftroy the 
heir alfo : and fo they fhall quench my coal which is 
left, and fhall not leave to my hufband neither name 
nor remainder f upon the earth. 

8 And the king faid unto the woman, Go to thine 
houfe, and I will give charge concerning thee. 

9 And the woman ofTekoah faid unto the king, My 
lord, O king, the iniquity be on me, and on my fath- 
er's houfe ; andthe king and his throne be guiltlefs. 

10 And the king faid, Whofoever faith aught unto 
thee, bring him to me, and he fhall not touch thee 
any more. 

11 Then faid fhe, I pray thee, let the king remem- 
ber the Lord thy God, f that thou wouldeft not fuf- 
fer the revengers of blood to deftroy any more, left they 
deftroy my fon. And he faid, As the Lord liveth, 
there fhall not one hair of thy fon fall to the earth. 

12 Then the woman faid, Let thine handmaid, I 
pray thee, fpeak one word unto my lord the king. And 
he faid, Say on. 

13 And the woman faid, Wherefore then haft thou 
thought fuch a thing againfl the people of God ? for the 
king doth fpeak this thing as one which is faulty, in 
that the king doth not fetch home again his banifhed. 

14 For we muft needs die, and are as water fpilt on 
the ground, which cannot be gathered up again : || nei- 
ther doth God refpe£t any perfon ; yet doth he devife 
means, that his banifhed be not expelled from him. 

15 Now, therefore, that I am come to fpeak of this 
thing unto my lord the king, it is becaufe the people 
have made me afraid : and thy handmaid faid, I will 
now fpeak unto the king ; it may be that the king will 
perform the requeft of his handmaid. 

16 For the king will hear, to deliver his handmaid 
out of the hand of the man that woidd deftroy me and 
my fon together out of the inheritance of God. 

17 Then thine handmaid faid, The word of my lord 
the king fhall now be t comfortable : for as an angel 
of God, fo is my lord the king t to difcem good and 
bad ; therefore the Lord thy God will be with thee. 

18 Then the king anfwered and faid unto the wo- 
man, Hide not from me, I pray thee, the thing that I 
fhall afk thee. And the woman faid, Let my lord the 
king now fpeak. 

19 And the king faid, Is not the hand of Joab with 
thee in all this ? And the woman anfwered and faid, 
As thy foul liveth, my lord the king, none can turn to 
the right hand or to the left from aught that my lord 
the king hath fpoken : for thy fervant Joab he bade 
me, and he put all thefe words in the mouth of thine

cording to the wifdom of an angel of God, to know 
all things that are in the earth. 

21 If And the king faid unto Joab, Behold, now I 
have done this thing : go, therefore, bring the young 
man Abfalom again. 

22 And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and 
tH?b. thssed. bowed himfelf, and -j; and thanked the king : and Joab 

faid, Today thy fervant knoweth that I have found 
grace in thy fight, my lord, O king, in that the king 
hath fulfilled the requeft of II his fervant. 

23 So Joab arofe and went to Gefliur, and brought 
Abfalom to Jerufalem. _ 

24 And the king faid, Let him turn to his own 
houfe, and let him not fee my face. So Abfalom re- 
turned to his own houfe, and faw not the king's face. 

25 11 1 But in all Ifrael there Avas none to be fo much 
praifed as Abfalom for his beauty : from the fole of 
his foot, even to the crown of his head, there was no 
blemifli in him. 

26 And when he polled his head, (for it was at every 
year's end that he polled it ; becaufe the hair was heavy 
on him, therefore he polled it,) he weighed the hair of 
his head at two hundred fhekels, after the king'sweight. 

27 II And unto Abfalom there were born three fons, 
and one daughter, whofe name was Tamar : fhe was 
a woman of a fair countenance. 

28 U So Abfalom dwelt two full years in Jerufalem, 
and law not the king's face. 

29 Therefore Abfalom lent for Joab, to have fent him 
to the king ; but he would not come to him : and when 
he fent again the lecond time, he would not come. 

30 Therefore he faid unto hisfervants, See, Joab's 
field is f near mine, and he hath barley there : go and 
fet it on fire. And Abfalom's fervants fet the field on 
fire. 

31 Then Joab arofe, and came to Abfalom unto his 
houfe, and faid unto him, Wherefore have thy fer- 
vants fet my field on lire ? 

32 And Abfalom anfwered Joab, Behold, I fent unto 
thee, faying, Come hither, that I may fend thee to the 
king, to fay, Wherefore am I come from Gefliur I it 
had been good for me to have been there ftill : now, 
therefore, let me fee the king's face ; and if there be 
any iniquity in me, let him kill me. 

33 So Joab came to the king and told him : and 
when he had called for Abfalom, he came to the king, 
and bowed himfelf on his face to the ground before 
the king : and the king kiffed Abfalom.

P. XV. David, informed of Absalom s conspiracy, flceth

one of the tribes of Ifrael. 

3 And Abfalom faid unto him, See, thy matters are 
good and right ; but || there is wo man deputed of the ■$£»!

might come unto me, and I would do him juftice ! 

5 And it was so, that when any man came nigh to 
him to do him obeifance, he put forth his hand, and 
took him, and kiffed him. 

6 And on this manner did Abfalom to all Ifrael that 
came to the king for judgment. So Abfalom itoie 
the hearts of the men of Ifrael. 

7 II And it came to pafs after II forty years, that imS*. 
Abfalom faid unto the king, I pray thee jet megafe^ 
and pay my vow, which I have vowed unto the Lord "'

10 HBut Abfalom fent fpies throughout all the tribes

11 And with Abfalom went two hundred men out 
of Jerufalem that were called ; and they went in their 
funphcity, and they knew not any thing. 

12 And Abfalom fent for Ahithophel the Gilonite, 
David's counfellor, from his city, even from Giloh, 
while he offered facrifices ; and the confpiracy was 
ltrong ; for the people increafed continually with 
Abfalom. 

^j 13 ^ And there came a meffenger to David, faying, 
Ine hearts of the men of Ifrael are after Abfalom. 

14 And David faid unto all his fervants that were 
with him at Jerufalem, Arife, and let us flee ; for we 
fhall not else efcape from Abfalom : make fpeed to de- 
part, left he overtake usfuddenlv, and t bring evil up-

the king fhall f appoint. 

16 And the king went forth, and all his houfehold 
T after him : and the king left ten women, which were 
concubines, to keep the houfe. 

17 And the king went forth, and all the people after

all the Cherethites, and all the Pelethites, and all the 
Gittites, fix hundred men which came after him from 
Gath, palled on before the king. 

19 II Then laid the king to Ittai the Gittite, Where- 
fore goeft thou alfo with us ? Return to thv place, and 
abide with the king : for thou art a ftranger, and alfb 
an exile. 

20 Whereas thou cameft but yeftcrday, fhould I

ing 1 go whither I may, return thou, and take back thce ™ 
thy brethren ; mercy and truth be with thee. ""'"" 

21 And Ittai anfwered the king, and faid, As the 
Lord liveth, and as my lord the kingliveth, Purely in 
what place my lord the king fhall be, whether in death 
or life, even there alfo will thy fervant be.

Ittai the Gittite .paffed over, and all his men, and all 
the little ones that were with him. 

23 And all the country wept with a loud voice, and 
all the people palled over : the king alfo himielf paffed , 
over the brook I! Kidron, and all the people paffed 
over, toward the way of the wildernefs. 

24 HAnd, lo, Zadok alio, and all the Levites -were. 
with him, bearing the ark of the covenant of God : 
and they fet down the ark of God ; and Abiathar 
went up until all the people had done pafiing-out of 
the city. 

25 And the king faid unto Zadok, Garry back the 
ark of God into the city : If I lhall find favour in the 
eyes of the Lord, he will bring me .again, and fhew 
me both it and his habitation : 

26 But if he thus fay, I have no delight in thee : 
behold, here am I,. let .him do to me as feemeth good 
unto him. 

27 The king faid alfo unto Zadok the prieft, Art 
a 1 sam. 9 9. not thou a a feer ;? Return into the city in peace, and 

your two ions with you, Ahimaaz, thy fon, and Jon- 
athan the fon of Abiathar. 

28 See, I will tarry in the plain of the wildernefs, 
until there come word from you to certify me. 

.29 Zadok, therefore, and Abiathar, carried the ark 
of God again to Jerufalem ; and they tarried there. 

30 IT And David went up by the afcent of mount 
+ Heb. gitng Olivet, t and wept as he went up, and had his head 

" Meep ' covered ; and he went barefoot ; and all the people 
that was with him covered every man his head, and 
they went up, weeping as they went up. 

31 H And one told David, faying, Ahithophel is 
among the confpirators with Abfalom. And David 
faid, QLord, I pray thee, turn the counfel of Ahi- 
thophel into fooliihnefs. 

32 If And it came to pafs, that when David was 
come to the top of the mount, where he worihipped 
"God, behold, Hulhai the Archite came to meet him 
with his coat rent, and earth upon his head : 

33 Unto whom David faid, If thou paffeft on with 
.me, then thou fhalt be a burden unto me : 

34 But if thou return to the city, and fay unto Ab- 
falom, I will be thy fervant, O king ; as I have been 
thy father's fervant, hitherto, fo will I now alfo be thy 
fervant : then mayeft thou for me defeat the counfel 
of Ahithophel 

35 And hast thou not there with thee Zadok and 
Abiathar the priefts ? therefore it fhall be, that what 
thing foever thou fhalt hear out of the king's houfe, 
thou fhalt tell it to Zadok and Abiathar the priefts. 

36 Behold, they have there with them their two 
fons, Ahimaaz Zadok' s son,jand Jonathan Abiathar's 
son ■; and by them ye fhall fend unto me every thing 
that ye can hear. 

37 So Hufhai, David's friend, ■came into the city, 
•and Abfalom came into Jerufalem.

N D when David was a little paft the top of the

A 



met him with a couple of affes faddled, and upon 
them two hundred loaves of bread, and an hundred 
bunches of raifins, and an hundred of iummer fruits, 
and a bottle of wine. 

2 And the king faid unto Ziba, What meaneft thou 
by thefe ? And Ziba faid, The affes be for the kings 
houfehold to ride on; and the bread and iummer 
fruit for the young men to eat ; and the wine, that 
fuch as be faint in the wildernefs may drink, 

3 And the king faid, And where is thy mafter'sfon ? 
And Ziba faid unto the king, Behold he abideth at 
Jerufalem : for he laid, Today fhall the houfe of Ifrael 
reftore me the kingdom of my father. 

4 Then faid the king to Ziba, Behold, thine are all 
that pertained unto Mephibofheth. And Ziba faid, 
1 1 humbly befeech thee, that I may find grace in thy 
fight, my lord, O king- 

5 ff And when king David came to Bahurim, Toe- 
hold, thence came out a man of the family of the 
houfe of Saul, whofe name -was Shimei, the fon of 
Gera : || he came forth, and curled ftilias he came. 

6 And he caft flones at David, and at- ail the fer- 
vants of king David -: and all the people, and all the 
mighty men, were on his right hand and on his left. 

7 And thus faid Shimei when he curfed,Come out, 
come out, thout bloody man, :and thou, man of Belial : 

8 The Lord hath returned upon thee all the blood 
of the houfe of Saul, in whofe ftead thou haft reigned ; 
and the Lord hath delivered the .kingdom into the 
hand of Abfalom thy fon .: and, t behold, thou art 
taken in thy mifchief, becaufe thou art a bloody man. 

9 *[ Then faid Abifhai the fon of Zeruiah unto the 
king, Why fhould this a dead dog curfe my lord the 
king ? let me goover, I praythee, and take off his head. 

10 And the king faid, What .have I to do with you, ye 
fons of Zeruiah i fo let him curfe, becaufe the Lord 
hath faid unto him, Curfe David. Who fhall then 
fay, wherefore haft thou done fo ? 

11 And David faid to Abifhai, and to all his fer- 
vants, Behold, my fon, which came forth of my bow- 
els, feeketh my life : how much more now mat/ this 
Benjamite do it ? Let him alone, and let .him curfe ; 
for the Lord hath bidden him. 

12 It may be that the Lord will look on mine || f 
affiiclion, and that the Lord will requite me good for 
his curfing this day. 

13 And as David and his men went "by the way, 
Shimei went along on the hill's fide over againft him, 
and curfed as he went, and threw ftones at him, and 
t caft dull. 

14 And the king and all the people that were with 
him, came weary, and refrefhed themfelves there. 

15 H And Abfalom, and all the people, the men of 
Ifrael, came to Jerufalem, and Ahithophel with him. 

16 And it came to pafs, when Hufhai the Archite, 
David's friend, was come unto Abfalom, that Hufhai 
faid unto Abfalom, f God fave the king, God fave the' 
king. 

17 And Abfalom faid to Hufhai, Is this thy kindnefs 
to thy friend ? why wenteft thou not with thy friend ? 

18 And Hufhai faid unto Abfalom, Nay ; but whom 
the Lord, and this people, and all the men of Ifrael, 
choofe, his will I be, and with him will I abide. 

19 And again, whom fhould I ferve ? should /not

the houfe ; and all Ifrael fhall hear that thou art ab- 
horred of thy father : then fhall the hands of all that 
are with thee be ftrong. 

22 So they fpread Abfalom a tent upon the top of 
the houfe ; and Abfalom went in unto his father's 
concubines in the fight of all Ifrael. 

23 And the counfel of Ahithophel, which he coun- 
felled in thofe days, was as if a man had inquired at 

tHeb.-uwi. the t oracle of God : fo was all the counfel of Ahi-

Let me now choofe out twelve thoufand men, 
and I will arife and purfue after David this night : 

2 And I Mill come upon him while he is weary and 
weak handed, and will make him afraid : and all the 
people that' are with him fhall flee : and I will fmite 
the king only.. 

3 And I will bring back all the people unto thee ; 
the man w T hom thou feekeft, is as if all returned : so 
all the people fhall be in peace. 

4 And the faying f pleafed Abfalom well, and all 
the elders of Ifrael'. 

5 Then faid Abfalom^ Call now Hufhai the Archite 
alfo, and let us hear likewife f what he faith. 

6 And when Hufhai was come to Abfalom, Abfa- 
lom fbake unto him, faying, Ahithophel hath fpoken 
after this manner : fhall we do after his | faying ? if 
not, fpeak thou. 

7 And Hufhai faid unto Abfalom, The counfel that 
Ahithophel hath t given is not good at this time. 

8 For (faid Hufhai) thou knoweft thy father and 
his men, that they be mighty men,and they be t chaf- 
ed in their minds, as a bear robbed of her whelps in 
the field : and thy father is a man of war, and will not 
lodge with the people, 

9. Behold, he is hid now in fome pit, or in fome 
at her place : and it will come to pafs, when fome of 
them be f overthrown at the firft, that whofoever 
heareth it will fay, There is a fiaughter among the 
people that follow Abfalom. 

10 And he alfo that z> valiant, whofe heart zVasthe 
heart of. a lion, fhall utterly melt : for all Ifrael know- 
eth that thy father is a mighty man, and they which 
be with him are valiant men, 

11 Therefore I counfel, that all Ifrael be generally 
gathered unto thee, from Dan even to Beerfheba, as 
the fand that is by the fea for multitude, and f that 
thou go to battle in thine own perfon. 

12 So fhall we come upon him in fome place where 
he fhall be found, and we will light upon him as the 
dew falleth on the ground ; and of him, and of all tin- 
men that are with him, there fhall not be left fo much

14 And Abfalom and all the men of Ifrael faid, ^^^ 
The counfel of Hufhai the Archite is better than the 
counfel of Ahithophel ; for the Lord had f appointed + H ) f^ ,,m - 
to defeat the good counfel of Ahithophel, to the in- 
tent that the Lord might bring evil upon Abfalom; 

15 If Then faid Hufhai unto Zadok and to Abiathar 
the prlefts, Thus and thus did Ahithophel counfel 
Abfalom and the elders of Ifrael ; and thus and thus 
have I ccunfelled, 

16 Now, therefore, fend quickly, and tell David, 
faying, Lodge not this night in the plains of the wil- 
derneis, but ipeedily pafs over ; left the king be fwal- 
lowed up, and all the people that are with him. 

17 Now Jonathan and Ahimaaz ftayed by Enro- 
gel ; . (for they might not be feen to come into the city ;) 
and a wench went and told them : and they went and 
told king David. 

18 Neverthelefs, a lad faw them, and told Abfalom : 
but they went both of them away quickly, and came 
to. a man's houfe in Bahurim, which had a well in his 
court, whither they went down. 

19 And the woman took and fpread a covering over 
the well's mouth, and fpread ground corn thereon ; 
and the thing was not known. 

20 And when Abfalom 's fervantscame to the woman 
to the houfe, they faid, Where is Ahimaaz and Jona- 
than I And the woman faid unto them, They be gone 
over the brook of water. And when they had fought, 
and could not find them, they returned to Jerufalem. 

22: And it came to pafs, after they were departed, 
that they came up out of the well, and went and told 
king David, and faid unto David, Arife, and pafs 
quickly over the water : for thus hath Ahithophel 
counfelled againft you. 

22 Then David arofe, and all the people that were 
with him, and they paffed over Jordan :. by the morn- 
ing light there lacked not one of them that was not 
gone over Jordan. 

23- IT And when Ahithophel faw that his counfel 
was not t followed, he faddled his afs, and arofe, and 
gat him home to his houfe, to his city, and' f put his 
houfehold in order, and hanged himfelf, and died, and fj£? e £*? r * r 
was buried in the fepulchre of his father. Ms hum. 

24 Then David came to Mahanaim : and Abfalom 
paffed over Jordan,. he and all the men of Ifrael with 
him.. 

25 If And Abfalom made Amafa captain of the h oft' 
inftead of Joab : which Amafa was a man's fon whole 
name was Ithra an Ifraelite, that went in to Abigail 
the daughter of Nahafh, filler to Zeruiah, Joab's 
mother. 

26 So Ifrael and Abfalom pitched in the land of 
Gilead. 

27 II And it came to pafs, when David was come to 
Mahanaim, that Shobi the fon of Nahafh ofRabbah 
of the children of Amnion, and Machir the fon of 
Ammiel of Lodebar, and Barzillai- the Gileadite of 
Rogelim,

and beans, and lentiles, and parched pulse, 

29 And honey, and butter, and fheep, and chcefe 
of kine, for David, and for the people that were with 
him, to eat : for they faid, The people is hungry, and

CHAP. XVIII. 

David having mustered his army under three prin- 
cipal leaders, char geth them not to hurt Absalo?n. 
6 The Israelites are smitten in the wood of Ephraim. 
9 Absalom, hanging in an oak, is slain by Joab, and 
cast into a pit. ^ 18 Absalom' 's place. 19 Ahimaaz 
and Cushi bring tidings to David. 33 David 
moarneth for Absalom. 

ND David numbered the people that were with 
him, and fet captains of thoufands and captains 
of hundreds over them. 

2 And David fent forth a third part of the people 
under the hand of Joab ; and a third part under the 
hand of Abifhai the fon of Zeruiah, Joab's brother ; 
and a third part under the hand of Ittai the Gittite : 
and the king faid unto the people, I will furely go 
forth with you myfelf alio. 

3 But the people anfwered, Thou (halt not go forth ; 
for if w r e flee away, they will not f care for us ; neither 
if half of us die, will they care for us : but now thou art 

luut'nilfu, t worth ten thoufand of us ; therefore, now it is better 
+ Heb.4e/ that thou ffuccour us out of the city. 

4 And the king laid unto them, What feemeth you 
bell, I will do. And the king ftood by the gate lide, and 
all the people came out by hundreds and by thoufands. 

5 And the king commanded Joab, and Abilhai, 
and Ittai, fa5'ing, Deal gently, for my fake, with the 
young man, even with Abfalom. And ail the people 
heard when the king gave all the captains charge con- 
cerning Abfalom. 

6 H So the people went out into the field againft 
Ifrael : and the battle was in the wood of Ephraim, 

7 Where the people of Ifrael were ilain before the 
fervants of David ; and there was there a great {laugh- 
ter that day of twenty thoufand men. 

8 For the battle was there Icattered over the face of 
all the country : and the wood f devoured more people 
that day than the fword devoured. 

9 H And Abfalom met the fervants of David. And 
Abfalom rode upon a mule, and the mule went under 
the thick boughs of a great oak, and his head caught 
hold of the oak, and he was taken up between the 
heaven and the earth ; and the mule that was under 
him went away. 

10 And a certain man faw it, and told Joab, and faid, 
Behold, I faw Abfalom hanged in an oak. 

1 1 And Joab laid unto the man that told him, And, 
behold, thou laweft him ; and why didft thou not fmite 
him there to the ground ? and I would have given thee 
ten shekels of lilver, and a girdle. 

12 And the man laid unto Joab, Though I fhould 
t receive a thoufand shekels of iilver in mine hand, yet 
would I not put forth mine hand againft the king's fon : 
for in our hearing the king charged thee, and Abifhai, 
and Ittai, faying, f Beware that none touch the young 
man Abfalom. 

13 Otherwife I fhould have wrought falfehood 
againft mine own life : for there is no matter hid from 
the king, and thou thyfelf wouldeft have fet thyfelf 
againft me. 

14 Then faid Joab, I may not tarry thus f with thee. 
And he took three darts in his hand, and thruft them 
through the heart of Abfalom, while he was yet alive 
in the t midit of the oak. 

15 And ten young men that bare Joab's armour 
compaffed about, and fmote Abfalom, and flew him.

16 And Joab blew the trumpet, and the people re- 
turned from purfuing after Ifrael : for Joab held back 
the people. 

17 And they took Abfalom, and cafi him into a great 
pit in the wood, and laid a very great heap of ftones 
upon him : and ail Ifrael fled, every one to his tent. 

18 H Now Abfalom in his lifetime had taken and 
reared up for himfelf a pillar, which is in 3 the king's 
dale : for he faid, I have no fon to keep my name in 
remembrance ; and he called the pillar after his own 
name : and it is called unto this day, Abfalom's place. 

19 H Then faid Ahimaaz the fon of Zadok, Let me 
now run and bear the king tidings, how that the Lord 
hath t avenged him of his enemies. 

_ 20 And Joab faid unto him, Thou fhalt not f bear 
tidings this day, but thou fhalt bear tidings another 
day ; but this day thou fhalt bear no tidings, becaufe 
the king's fon is dead. 

21 Then faid Joab to Cuflii, Go, tell the king what 
thou haft feen. And Cuflii bowed himfelf unto Joab, 
and ran. 

22 Then faid Ahimaaz the fon of Zadok yet again to 
Joab, But, f howfoever, let me, I pray thee, alio run 
after Culhi. And Joab faid, Wherefore wilt thou 
run, my fon, feeing that thou haft no tidings || ready ? 

23 But howfoever, said he, let me run. And he 
faid unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way 
of the plain, and overran Cuflii. 

24 And David fat between the two gates : and the 
watchman went up to the roof over the gate unto the 
wall, and lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold 
a man running alone. 

25 And the watchman cried, and told the king. 
And the king faid, If he be alone, there is tidings in his 
mouth. And he came apace, and drew near. 

26 And the watchman faw another man running ; 
and the watchman called unto the porter, and faid, 
Behold, another man running alone. And the king 
faid, He alfo bringeth tidings. 

27 And the watchman laid, f Me thinketh the 
running of the foremoft is like the running of Ahi- 
maaz the fon of Zadok. And the king faid, He is a 
good man, and cometh with good tidings. 

28 And Ahimaaz called, and faid unto the king, 
|| | All is well. And he fell down to the earth upon 
his face before the king, and faid, Bleffed be the Lord 
thy God, which hath f delivered up the men that lift- 
ed up their hand againft my lord the king. 

29 And the king faick. t Is the young man Abfalom 
fafe ? And Ahimaaz anfwered, When Joab fent the 
king's fervant, and me thy fervent, I faw a great tu- 
mult, but I knew not what it was. 

30 And the king faid unto him, Turn afide, and 
Hand here. And he turned afide, and ftood ftill. 

31 And, behold, Cufhi came; and Cuflii faid, tTid- 
ings my lord the king : for the Lord hath avenged thee 
this day of all them that rofe up againft thee. 

32 And the king faid unto Cuflii, Is the young man 
Abfalom fafe ? And Cuflii anfwered, The enemies of 
my lord the king, and all that rife againft thee to do 
thee hurt, be as that young man is. 

33 II And the king was much moved, and went up 
to the chamber over the gate, and wept ; and, as he 
went, thus he faid, O my fon Abfalom ! my fon, my 
fon Abfalom ! would God I had died for thee, O Ab-

The Israelites expostulate with judah for bringing

N D it was told Joab, Behold, the king weepeth 
and mourneth for Abfalom. 

2 And the f victory that day was turned mto mourn- 
ing unto all the people : for the people heard fay that 
day how the king was grieved for his fon. 

3 And the people gat them by ftealth that day in- 
to the city, as people, being afhamed ileal away when 
they flee in battle. 

4 But the king covered his face, and the king cried 
with a loud voice, Q my fon Abfalom ! O Abfalom, 
my fon, nvy fon ! 

5 And Joab came into the houfe to the king, and 
faid, Thou haft fhamed this day the faces of all thy 
fervants, which this day have faved thy life, and the 
lives of thy fons, and of thy daughters, and the lives 
of thy wives, and the lives of thy concubines ;

8 Then the king arofe, and fat in the gate. And 
they told unto all the people, faying, Behold, the king 
doth lit in the gate. And all the people came before 
the king ; for Ifrael had fled every man to his tent. 

9 tT And all the people were at ftrife throughout 
all the tribes of Ifrael, laying, The king faved us out 
of the hand of our enemies, and he delivered us out 
of the hand of the Philiftines, and now he is fled out 
of the land for Abfalom. 

10 And Abfalom, whom we anointed over us, is 
TMeb. are k dead in battle : now, therefore, why f fpeak ye not a 
vicr.t ? word of bringing the king back ? 

11 IF And king David fent to Zadok and to Abia- 
thar the priefts, faying, Speak unto the elders of Ju- 
dah, faying, Why are ye the laft to bring the king 
back to his houfe ? feeing the fpeech of all Ifrael is 
come to the king, even to his houfe. 

12 Ye are my brethren , ye a re my bones and my flefh : 
wherefore then are ye the laft to bring back the king ? 

13 And fay ye to Amafa, Art thou not of my bone, 
and of my flefli ? God do fo to me, and more alfo, 
if thou be not captain of the hoft before me contin- 
ually in the room of Joab. 

14 And he bowed the heart of all the men of Judah, 
oven as the heart of one man ; fo that they fent this 
word unto the king, Return thou, and all thy fervants. 

15 So the king returned, and came to Jordan. And 
Judah came to Gilgal to go to meet the king, to con- 
duel: the king over Jordan. 

a i KinF 2 8, 16 IT And a Shimei the fon of Gera, a Benjamite, 
which was of Bahurim, halted and came down with 
the men of Judah to meet king David.

17 And there were a thoufand men of Benjamin 
with him, and b Ziba the lervant of the houfe of Saul, 
and his fifteen fons and his twenty fervants with him ; b ch n >. ,6 L, 
and they went over Jordan before the king. 

18 And there went over a ferry boat to carry over 

the king's household, and to do f what he thought * ha «« 
good. And Shimei the fon of Gera fell down before fj«.' n : '' 
the king as he was come over Jordan ; 

19 And faid unto the king, Let not my lord impute 
iniquity unto me, neither do thou remember c that cGiup. 16 5. 
which thy fervant did perverfely the day that my lord 

the king went out of Jerufalem, that the king ihould 
take it to his heart. 

20 For thy fervant doth know that I have finned : 
therefore, behold, I am come the fir it this day of all the 
houfe of Jofeph, to go down to meet my lord the king. 

21 But Abiihai the fon of Zeruiah anfwered and 
faid, Shall not Shimei be put to death for this, becaufe 
he curfed the Lord's anointed ? 

22 And David faid, What have I to do with you, 
ye fons of Zeruiah, that ye fhould this day be adver- 
saries unto me ? Shall there any man be put to death 
this day in Ifrael ? for do not I know that I am this 
day king over Ifrael ? 

23 Therefore the king faid unto Shimei, Thou 
fhalt not die : and the king fware unto him. 

24 1f And Mephiboiheth the fon of Saul came down 
to meet the king, and had neither dreffed his feet, nor 
trimmed his beard, nor wafhed his clothes, from the day 
the king departed until the day he came again in peace. 

25 And it came to pafs, when he was come to Je- 
rufalem to meet the king, that the king faid unto 
him, Wherefore wenteft not thou with me, Mephi- 
boiheth ? 

26 And he anfwered, My lord, O king, my fervant 
deceived me : for thy fervant faid, I will faddle me 
an afs, that I may ride thereon, and go to the king ; 
becaufe thy fervant is lame. 

27 And d he hath fiandered thy fervant unto my d ah* P > 16 3 ; 
lord the king ; but my lord the king is as an angel of 

God : do therefore what is good in thine eyes. 

28 For all of my father's houfe were but f dead t neb. mm of 
men before my lord the king ; yet didit thou fet thy eat 
fervant among them that did eat at thine own table : 

what right, therefore have I yet to cry any more unto 
the king. 

29 And the king faid unto him, Why fpeakeft thou 
any more of thy matters ? I have laid, thou and Ziba 
divide the land. 

30 And Mephibofheth faid unto the king, Yea, let 
him take all, forafmuch as my lord the king is come 
again in peace unto his own houfe. 

31 11 And Barzillai the Gileadite came down from 
Rogelim, and went over Jordan with the king, to con- 
duel him over Jordan. 

32 Now Barzillai was a very aged man, even four- 

fcore years old : and e he had pn aided the king of echapfwa. 
fullenance while he lay at Mahanaim ; for he was a 
very great man. 

33 And the king faid unto Barzillai, Come thou 
over with me, and I will feed thee with me in Jerufalem. 

34 And Barzillai laid unto the king, f How long t Hfb . hm 
have I to live, that I fhould go up with the king unto ;;;f > ; ;! %,, 
Jerufalem? _ ... ° fmyl *- 

35 I am this day fourfcore years old : and cm I dif- 
cern between good and evil ? can thy fervant tafte 
what I eat or what I drink , ? can I hear any more the 

voice

voice of fmging men and fmging women ? wherefore the n 
fhould thy fervant be yet a burden unto my lord the king? 
56 Thy fervant will go a little, way over Jordanwith 
the king : and why fhould the king recompenfe it me 
with fuch a reward ? 

37 Let thy fervant, I pray thee, turnback again, that 
I may die in mine own city, and be buried by the grave 
of my father and of my mother. But behold thy fer- 
vant Chimham, let him go over with my lord the 
king ; and do to him what ihall feem good unto thee. 

38 And the king anfwered, Chimham ihall go over 
with me, and I will do to him that which fhall feem 

t Heb. choose, good unto thee : and whatfoever thou fhalt t require 
of me, that will I do thee. 

39 And all the people went over Jordan. And, 
when the king -was come over, the king killed Barzil- 
lai, and bleffed him ; andhe returned unto his own place. 

40 Then the king went on to Giigal, and Chimham 
went on with him : and all the people of Judah con- 
dueled the king, and alfo half the people of Ifrael. 

41 If And, behold, all the men of Ifrael came to the 
king, and faid unto the king, Why have our brethren 
the men of Judah ftolen thee away, and have brought 
the king and his houfehold, and all David's men with 
him, over Jordan ? 

42 And all the men of Judah anfwered the men of 
Ifrael, Became the king is near of kin to us : where- 
fore then be ye angry for this matter ? have we eaten 
at all of the king's cost ? or hath he given us any gift ? 

43 And the men of Ifrael anfwered the men of Ju- 
dah, and laid, We have ten parts in the king, and we 
have alfo more right in David than ye : why then 

t Heb. set us did ye f defpife us, that our advice fhould not be firft 
«t ,,-ght. ^ad - n bringing back our king ? and the words of the 

men of Judah were fiercer than the words of the 

men of Ifrael.

and followed Sheba the fon of Bichri : but the men

8 When they were at the great ftone which is in 
Gibeon, Amafa went before them. And Joab's gar- 
ment that he had put on, was girded unto him, and 
upon it a girdle with a fword fattened upon his loins 
in the fheath thereof ; and as he went forth it fell out. 

9 And Joab laid to Amafa, Art thou in health, my 
brother ? and Joab took Amafa by the beard with the 
right hand, to kifs him- 

10 But Amafa took no heed to the fword that was 
in Joab's hand : fo he fmote him therewith in the 
fifth rib, and fhed out his bowels to the ground, and 

| ftruck him not again, and he died. So Joab and f f t ^;f^f 
Abifhai his brother purfued after Sheba the . fon of" 3 
Bichri. 

11 And one of Joab's men flood by him, and faid, 
He that favoureth Joab, and he that is for David, let 
him go after Joab. 

12 And Amafa wallowed in blood in the midft of 
the highway. And when the man law that all the peo- 
ple ftood ftill, he removed Amafa out of the highway 
into the field, and caft a cloth upon him, when he faw 
that every one that came by him, ftood ftill. 

13 When he was removed out of die highway, all 
the people went on after Joab, to purfue after Sheba 
the fon of Bichri. 

14 If And he went through all the tribes of Ifrael unto 
Abel, and to Bethmaachah, and all the Berites : and 
they were gathered together, and went alfo after him. 

15 And they came and befieged him in Abel of 
Bethmaacha, and they caft up a bank againft the city,

1 The three years of famine on account of the Gibeon- 
ites cease, upon hanging seven of Saul's sons. 10 
Rizpah' s care for their dead bodies. 12 David buri- 
eth their bones with the bones of Saul and Jonathan 
in the sepulchre of Kkh. 1 5 Four battles against the 
Philistines, wherein four of David's mighty men 
slay four giants. 

THEN there was afaminein the days of David three 
years, year after year ; and David f inquired of 
the Lord. And the Lord anfwered, It isiox Saul, and 
for his bloody houfe, becaufe he flew the Gibeonites. 

2 And the king called the Gibeonites, and faid un- 
to them, (now the Gibeonites were not of the chil- 
dren of Ifrael, but a of die remnant of the Amorites ; 
and the children of Ifrael had fworn unto them ; and 
Saul fought to flay them in his zeal to the children of 
Ifrael and Judah :") 

S Wherefore David faid unto the Gibeonites, What 
mall I do for you ? and wherewith ihall I make the 
atonement, that ye may blefs the inheritance of the 
Lord ? 

4 And the Gibeonites faid unto him, || We will have 
no diver nor gold of Saul, nor of his houfe; neither 
for us {halt thou kill any man in Ifrael. And he faid, 
What ye Ihall fay, that will I do for you. 

5 And they anfwered the king, The man that con- 
fumed us, and that || devifed againft us that we fhould 
be deftroyed from remaining in any of the coafts of 
Ifrael , 

6 Let feven men of his fons be delivered unto us, 
and we will hang them up unto the Lord in Gibeah 
of Saul, j| whom the Lord did choofe. And the king 
faid I will give them. 

7 But the king fpared Mephibofheth, the fon of 
Jonathan, the fon of Saul, becaufe of b the Lord's 
oath that was between them, between David and Jon- 
athan the fon of Saul. 

8 But the king took the two fons of Rizpah the 
daughter of Aiah, whom (he bare unto Saul, Armoni 
and Mephibofheth, and the five fons of || M ichal the 
daughter of Saul, whom (lie f brought up for Adriel, 
the fon of Barziilai the Meholathite : 

9 And he delivered them into the hands of the 
Gibeonites, and they hanged them in the hill before 
the Lord ; and they fell all feven together, and were 
put to death in the days of harveft, in the firfl days, 
in the beginning of barley harveft. 

10 "H And c Rizpah the daughter of Aiah took fack 
cloth, and fpread it for her upon the rock, from the be- 
ginning of harveft until water dropped upon them out 
of heaven, and differed neither the birds of the air to 
reft on them by day, nor the beads of the field by night. 

11 And it was told David what Rizpah the daugh- 
ter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done. 

12 11 And David went, and took the bones of Saul, 
and the bones of Jonathan his fon, from the men of 
Jabefhgilead, which had ftolenthem from the ftreet

of Bethfhan where the d Philiftines had hanged them, 
when the Philiftines had (lain Saul in Gilboa : 

13 And he brought up from thence the bones of a.s«n. 
Saul, and the bones of Jonathan his fon ; and they 3 ' IO ' 
gathered the bones of them that were hanged. 
_ 14 And the bones of Saul and Jonathan his lbn bu- 
ried they in the country of Benjamin in Zelah, in the 
fepulchre of Kifli his father : and they performed all 
that the king commanded : and after that God was 
entreated for the land. 

15 II Moreover, the Philiftines had yet war again 1018,- 
with Ifrael ; and David went down, and his fervants 
with him, and fought againft the Philiftines ; and Da- 
vid waxed faint.

giant, (the weight of whofe t fyear weighed three hun- *^*-l 
dred shekels ofbrafs in weight,) he, being girded with "Itheheat.

17 But Abifhai the fon of Zeruiah fuccoured him, 
and fmote the Philiftine, and killed him. Then the 
men of David fware unto him, faying, Thou (halt go 
no more out with us to battle, that thou quench not

20 And there was yet a battle in Gath, where was 
a man of great ftature, that had on every hand fix

David's psalm of thanksgiving for God's mighty de-

AND David fpake unto the Lord the words of 
this long, in the day that the Lord had delivered 
him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the

2 And he faid, a The Lord is my rock, and my

3 The God of my rock ; in him will Itruft : he is my

(hares of death prevented me. 

7 In my diftrefs I called upon the Lord and cried 
to my God ; and he did hear my voice out of his 
temple, and my cry did enter into his cars. 

8 Then the earth (hook and trembled ; the foun-

10 He bowed the heavens alfo and came clown ; 
and darknefs was under his feet. 

1 1 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly ; and 
he was leen upon the wings of the wind. 

12 And he made darknefs pavilions round about 
him, f dark waters, and thick clouds of the Ikies. 

13 Through the brightnefs before him Avere coals 
of fire kindled. 

14 The Lord thundered from heaven, and the 
Moft High uttered his voice. 

15 And he fent out arrows, and fcattered them ; 
lightning, and difcomfited them. 

16 And the channels of the fea appeared, the foun- 
dations of the world were difcovercd, at the rebuking 
of the Lord, at the blaft of the breath of his noftrils. 

17 He fent from above, he took me ; he drew me 
out of !| many waters : 

18 He delivered me from my flrong enemy, and 'from 
them that hated me ; for they were too ftrong for me. 

19 They prevented me in the day of my calamity : 
but the Lord was my Hay. 

20 He brought me forth alfo into a large place ; 
he delivered me, becaufe he delighted in me. 

21 The Lord rewarded me according to my right- 
eoufnefs : according to the cleannefs of my hands 
hath he recompenfed me. 

22 For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have 
not wickedly departed from my God.

28 And the afflicted people thou wilt fave : but 
thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou mayeft

29 For thou art my lllamp, O Lord; and the

1 David's last words, setting forth the happiness and 
confidence of the just man, and the different state of 
the wicked. 8 A catalogue of David's mighty men. 

NOW thefe be the laft words of David. David the 
fon of Jeffe faid, and the man who was raifed up 
on high, the anointed of the God of Jacob, and the 
fweet pfalmift of Ifrael, faid, 

2 The Spirit of theLoRDfpakebyme,and his word 
was in my tongue. 

3 The God of Ifrael faid, the Rock of Ifrael fpake 
to me, || He that ruleth over men must be juft, ruling 
in the fear of God : 

4 And he shall be as the light of the morning, when 
the fun rifeth, even a morning without clouds ; as the 
tender grafs springing out of the earth by clear fhining 
after rain. 

5 Although my houfe be not fo with God, yet he 
hath made with me an everlafting covenant, ordered 
in all things, and fare : for this wall my falvation, and 
all nip delire, although he make it not to grow. 

6 But the sons of Belial shall be all of them as thorns 
thruft away, becaufe they cannot be taken with hands : 

7 But the man that fhall touch themmuft be f fenced \fcf- 
with iron and the ftaff of a fpear ; and they fhall be ut- 
terly burnt with fire in the same place. 

8 *ff Thefe be the names of the mighty men whom 
David had : H the Tachmonite that fat in the feat, 1°*$*^ 
chief among the captains ; (the fame wets Adino the sskAw***, 
Eznite ;) || he lifted up his spear againft eight hundred, *w 

f whom he flew at one time. \?\V. chro *

10 He arofe, and fmote the Philiftines until his 
hand was weary, and his hand clave unto the fword ; 
and the Lord wrought a great victory that day ; and 
the people returned after him only to fpoil. 

11 And after him was b Shammah the fon of Agee 
the Hararite. And the Philiftines were gathered to- 
gether [| into a troop, where was a piece of ground full 
of lentiles ; and the people fled from the Philiftines. 

12 But he ftood in the midft of the ground, and de- 
fended it, and flew the Philiftines : and the Lord 
wrought a great victory. 

13 And || three of the thirty chief went down, and 
came to David in the harreft time unto the cave of 
Adullam ; and the troop of the Philiftines pitched in 
the valley of Rephaim. 

14 And David was then in an hold, and the garri- 
fon of the Philiftines was then in Bethlehem. 

15 And David longed, and faid, Oh that one would 
give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem, 
which es by the gate S 

16 And the three mighty men brake through the 
hoft of the Philiftines, and drew water out of the well 
of Bethlehem, that was by the gate, and took it, and 
brought it to David : nevertheless, he would not drink 
thereof, but poured it out unto the Lord : 

17 And he faid, Be it far from me, O Lord, that 
Ifhould do this : is not this the brood of the men that 
went in jeopardy of their lives ? therefore he would not 
drink it. Thefe things did thefe three mighty men. 

18 _ And c Abifhai the brother of Joab, the fon of 
Zeruiah, was chief among three : and he lifted up his 

• fpear againfl three hundred, j and Hew them, and had 
the name among three. 

19 Was he not moft honourable of three? there- 
fore he was their captain : howbeit, he attained not 
unto the first three. 

20 And Benaiah the fon of Jehoiada, the fon of a 
« valiant man of Kabzeel, f who had done many acts, he 

flew two t hon like men of Moab : he went down alfo, 
and flew a lion in the midft of a pit in time of fnow.

1 Dayidforceth Joab to number the people. 5 The cap- 
tarns bring the number to the king. 10 David repent- 
eth, and, having three plagues proposed by Gad, be- 
ing obliged to choose one,fixeth on three days' pesti- 
lence. 15 After the death of seventy thousand in Is- 
rael, at David's humble _ suit, Jerusalem is saved. 
18 David, by Gad's direction, purchaseth Arxiu- 
nab's threshing floor, £s?c. 

AND again the anger of the Lord was kindled m* 
againft Ifrael, and || he moved David againft letfchna* 
them to fay, Go, number Ifrael and Judah. 2I »• 

2 For the king faid to Joab the captain of the hoft, 
which was with him, || Go now through all the tribes l!Q r »«».$»* 
of Ifrael, from Dan even toBeeriheba, and number ye 

the people, that I may know the number of the peo- 
ple. 

3 And Joab faid unto the king, Now the Lord thy 
God add unto the people (how many foever they be) 
an hundred fold, and that the eyes of my lord the 
king may fee h : but why doth my lord the king de- 
light in this thing ? 

4 Notwithstanding, the king's word prevailed againft 
Joab, and againft the captains of the hoft : and Joab 
and the captains of the hoft went out from the pref- 
ence of the king to number the people of Ifrael. 

5 IT And they paffed over Jordan, and pitched in 
Aroer, on the right iide of the city that lieth in the 

midft of the (I river of Gad, and toward Jazer. K 0r « »««*• 

6 Then they came to Gilead, and to the || fend of I °J» ™ tl f 
Tahtimhodihi ; and they came to Danjaan, and about MuS^ 
to Zidon, 

7 And came to the ftrong hold of Tyre, and to ail 
the cities of the Hivites, and of the Canaanites ; and 
they went out to the fouth of Judah, even to Beerlheba, 

8 So when they had gone through all the land, they 
came to Jerufalein at the end of nine months and 
twenty days. 

9 And Joab gave up the fum of the number of the 
people unto the king r and there were in Ifrael eight 
hundred thoufand valiant men that drew the fword ; 
and the men of Judah were five hundred thoufand 
men. 

10 IT And David's heart fmote him after that he 
had numbered the people. And David faid unto the 
Lord, I have finned greatly in that I have done : and 
now, I befeech thee, O Lo-rd, take away the iniquity 
of thy fervant ; for 1 have done very foolifhly. 

11 For when David was up in the morning, the 
word of the Lord came unto the prophet Gad, Da- 
vid's feer, laying, 

12 Go and fay unto David, Thus faith the Lord, 
I offer thee three things; choofe thee one of them, 
that I may do it unto thee. 

13 So Gad came to David, and told him, and faid 
unto him, Shall feven years of famine come unto thee 
in thy land ? or wilt thort flee three months before 
thine enemies, while they pvrfuc thee . ? or that there

be three days' peftilence in thy land ? now advife, and 
fee what anfwer I fhall return to him that fent me. 

14 AncJ David faid unto Gad, I am in a great ftrait : 
let us fail now into the hand of the Lord, (for his 

lQT,many. mercies are || great,) and let me not fall into the hand 
of man. 

15 If So the Lord fent a peftilence uponlfrael, from 
the morning even to the time appointed : and there 
died of the people, from Dan even to Beerflieba, fev- 
enty thoufand men. 

16 And when the angel ftretched out his hand upon 
Jerufalem to deftroy it, a the Lord repented him of 
the evil, and faid to the angel that deftroyed the peo- 
ple, It is enough ; ftay now thine hand. And the an- 
gel of the Lord was by the threfhing place of Arau- 
nah the Jebuiite. 

17 -And David fpake unto the Lord, when he faw 
the angel that fmote the people, and faid, Lo, I have 
finned, and I have done wickedly ; but thefe fheep, 
what have they done ? Let thine hand, I pray thee, be 
againft me, and againft my father's houfe. 

18 II And Gad came that day to David, and faid 
unto him, Go up, rear an altar unto the Lord in the 
threfhing floor of Araunah the Jebufite. 

19 And David, according to die faying of Gad, 
went up, as the Lord commanded. 



20 And Araunah looked, and faw the king and his 
fervants coming on toward him : and Araunah went 
out and bowed himfelf before the king on his face 
upon the ground. 

.21 And Araunah faid, Wherefore is my lord the 
king come to his fervant .? and David faid, To buy 
the thre filing floor of thee, to build an altar unto the 
Lord, that the plague may be flayed from the people. 

22 And Araunah faid unto David, Let my lord the 
king take and offer up what secmeth good unto him : 
behold, here be oxen, for burnt facrifice, and threfh- 
ing inftruments, and other inftruments of the oxen, 
for wood. 

23 All thefe things did Araunah, as a king, give 
unto the king : and Araunah laid unto the king, The 
Lord thy God accept thee. ■ 

24 And the king faid unto Araunah, Nay ; but I 
will finely buy it of thee at a price : neither will I 
offer burnt offerings unto the Lord my God, ■ of that 
which doth coft me nothing. ^So David bought the 
threfhing floor and the oxen fornTty fhekels of lilver. 

25 And David built ^here an altar unto the Lord, 
and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings. So 
the Lord was entreated for the land, and the plague 
was flayed from Ifrael.

Abishag cherisheth David in his extreme age. 5 Ad- 

o?iijah having gained over Joab, &c. usurpetb the 

kingdom. 11 By the counsel of Nathan, 15 Bathshe- 

ba moveth the king concerning Solomon, 22 and is 

seconded by Nathan. 28 David rencwcth his oath to 

Bathsheba. 38 Solomon, by David'' s appointment is 

anointed king by Zadok and Nathan ; the people 

rejoice. 41 Adonijah and his guests being informed 

thereof, betake themselves to flight. 50 Adonijah, 

laying hold on the horns of the altar, on condition of 

good behaviour, is dismissed by Solomon in peace. 

OW king David was old and f ftricken in years ; 

and they covered him with clothes, but he gat 

no heat. 

2 Wherefore his fervants faid unto him, f Let there 
be fought for my lord the king f a young virgin ; and 
let her ftand before the king, and let her j cherifh 
him, and let her lie in thy bofom, that my lord the 
king may get heat. 

3 So they fought for a fair damfel throughout all 
the coafts of Ifrael, and found Abiihag a Shunam- 
mite, and brought her to the king. 

4 And the damfel was very fair, and cherifhed the 
king, andminiftered to him : but the king knew her not. 

5 TI Then Adonijah the fon of Haggith exalted him- 
iKeb..reign. fe\^ faying, I will f be king : and he prepared him cha- 
riots and horfemen, and fifty men to run before him. 

6 And his father had not difpleafed him t at any 
time in faying, Why haft thou done fo ? and he alfo 
was a very goodly man : and his mother bare him 
after Abfalom. 

7 And t he conferred with Joab the fon of Zeruiah, 
and with Abiathar the prieft : and they, f following 
Adonijah, helped hint.

not with Adonijah. 

9 And Adonijah flew fheep, and oxen, and fat cat-

and called all his brethren the king's fons, and all the <lvellRo ^ 
men of Judah the king's fervants : 

10 But Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah, and the 
mighty men, and Solomon his brother, he called not. 

11 If Wherefore Nathan fpake unto Bathiheba the 
mother of Solomon, faying, Haft thou not heard that 
Adonijah the fon of a Haggith doth reign, and David 
our lord knoweth it not ? 

12 Now, therefore, come, let me, I pray thee, give 
thee counfel, that thou mayeft lave thine own life, and 
the life of thy fon Solomon. 

13 Go, and get thee in unto king David, and fay 
unto hiin, Didft not thou, my lord, Q king, fwear un-

fhall reign after me, and he fhall fit upon my throne ? 
why then doth Adonijah reign ? 

14 Behold, while thou yet talk eft there with the king, 
I alfo will come in after thee, and t confirm thy words. 

15 II And Bathfheba went in unto the king into the 
chamber : and the king was very old : and Abiihag 
the Shunammite miniftered unto the king. 

1.6 And Bathfheba bowed, and did obeifance unto 
the king. And the king faid, f What wouldeft thou ?

20 And thou, my lord, O king, the eyes of all Ifrael

21 Otherwife it lhall come to pafs, when my lord

Solomon fhall be counted f offenders. 

22 11 And, lo, while ihe yet talked with the king, 
Nathan the. prophet alio came in, 

23 And they told the king,, faying, Behold Nathan 
the prophet. And when he was. come in before the 
king, he bowed himfelf before the king with his face 
to the ground. 

24 And Nathan faid. My lord, O king, hall thou 
faid, Adonijah fhall reign after me, and he fhalj. fit 
upon my throne ? 

25 For he is gone down this day, and hath flain o;*en, 
and fat Cattle, and fheep in abundance, and hath called 
all the king's fons, ,and the captains of the hoft, and 
Abiathar the priefl ; and, behold, they eat and drink 
before him, and fay, t God lave king Adonijah. 

26 But me, even me thy fervant, and Zadok the 
prieft, and Benaiah the fon of Jehoiada, and thy fer- 
vant Solomon, hath- he not called. 

27 Is this thing done by my lord the king, and thou 
haft not fhewed it unto thy fervant, who fhould fit on 
the throne of my lord the king after him ? 

28 IT Then king David anfwered and find, Call me 
tHeKfe/cr#Bathfheba : and ihe came t into the king's prefence, 

and flood before the king. 

29 And the king fware, and faid, As the Lord liv- 
eth,. that hath redeemed my foul out. of all diflrefs, 

30 Even as I fware unto thee by the Lord God of 
Ifrael, faying, Affuredly Solomon thy fon fhall reign 
after me, and he fliall fit upon my throne in my ftead ; 
even fo will I certainly do this day. 

31 Then Bathfheba bowed with her face to the 
earth, and did reverence to the king, and faid, Let 
my lord king David live for ever. 

32 If And king David faid,, Call me Zadok the priefl, 
and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah. the fon of Je- 
hoiada. And they came before the king. 

33 The king alfo faid unto them ,/Take with you the 
fervants of your lord, and caufe Solomon my fon to ride 
upon f mine own mule, and bring him down toGihon : 

34 ■And let Zadok the priefl and Nathan the prophet 
anoint him there king over Ifrael ; and blow ye with 
the trumpet, and fay, God fave king Solomon. 

35 Then ye fhall come up after him, that he may 
come and lit upon my throne ; for he fhall be king in 
my flead : and I have appointed him to be ruler over 
Ifrael and over Judah. 

36 And Benaiah the fon of Jehoiada anfwered the 
king, and faid, Amen : the Lord God of my lord 
the king fay fo too. 

37 As the Loud hath been with my lord the king, 
even fo be he with Solomon, and make his throne 
greater than the throne of my lord king' David. 

38 If So Zadok the priefl, and Nathan the prophet, 
and Benaiah the fon of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, 
and the Pelethites, went down, and eaufed Solomon 
to ride upon king David's mule, and brought him to 
Gihon. 

39 And Zadok the priefl took an horn of oil out of 
the tabernacle, and anointed Solomon. And they blew

40 And all the people came up after him ; and the 
people piped with || pipes, and rejoiced with great joy, 
lb that the earth rent with the found of them. 

. 4 1 If And Adonijah , and all the guefts that were with; 
him, heard it, as they had made an end of eating. And 
when Joab heard the found of the trumpet, he faid, 
Wherefore is this noife of the city being in an uproar ? 

42. And while he yet [pake, behold, Jonathan the 
fon of _ Abiathar the priefl came : and Adonijah faid 
unto him, Come in ; for thou art a valiant man, and 
bringefl good tidings* 

43 And Jonathan anfwered and faid to Adonijah, 
Verily our lord king David hath made Solomon king. 

44 And the king hath fent with him Zadok the 
priefl, and Nathan the prophet, and Benaiah the fon- 
of Jehoiada, and the Cherethites, and the Pelethites, 
and they have eaufed him to ride upon the king's 
mule : 

45 And Zadok the priefl and Nathan the prophet 
have anointed him king in Gihon ; and they are come 
up from thence rejoicing, fo that the city rang again. 
This is the noife that. ye have heard. 

46 And alfo Solomon iittech on the throne of the 
kingdom. 

47 And, moreover, the king's fervants came to blefs- 
our lord king David, faying, God make the name of 
Solomon better than thy name, and make his throne 
greater than thy throne : and the king bowed himfelf 
upon the bed.. 

48 And alfo thus faid the king, Bleffed be the Lor d 
God of. Ifrael, which hath given one to fit on my 
throne this day, mine eyes even feeing it. 

49 And all the guefts that luew with Adonijah were 
afraid, and rofe iips and went every man his way. 

50 If And Adonijah feared becaufe of Solomon, and 
arofe, and went, and caught hold on the horns of the 
altar. 

51 And it was told Solomon, faying, Behold, Ado- 
nijah feareth king Solomon ; for, lo, he hath caught 
hold on the horns of the altar, faying, Let king Solo- 
mon fwear unto me today, that he will not flay his 
fervant with the fword. 

52 And Solomon faid, If he will fhew himfelf a- 
worthy man, there fliall not an hair of him fall to the 
earth : but if wickednefs fliall be found in him, he 
fhall die. 

53 So king Solomon fent, and they brought him

of Gera, aBenjamite ofBahurim, which curfed me 

t Heji. strmg. with a f grievous curfe in the day when I went to 
Mahanaim : but lie came down to meet me at Jordan, 
and s I fvvare to him by the Lord, faying, I will not 
put thee to death with the fword. 

9 Now, therefore, hold him not guiltlefs ; for thou 
art a wife man, and knoweft what thou oughteft to do 
unto him : but his hoar head bring thou down to the 
grave with blood. 

10 II So b David flept with his fathers, and was 
buried in the city of David. 

1 1 And the days that David i reigned over Ifrael 
were forty years : feven years reigned he in Hebron, 
and thirty and three years reigned he in Jerufalem. 

_ 12 If k Then fat Solomon upon the throne of David 
his father ; and his kingdom was eftablifhed greatly. 

13 If And Adonijah the fon of Haggith came to 
Bathfheba the mother of Solomon : and fhe faid, 
Cornell thou peaceably ? And he faid, Peaceably. 

14 He faid, moreover, I have fomewhat to fay unto 
thee. And fhe faid, Say on. 

15 And he faid, Thou knoweft that the kingdom was 
mine, and that all Ifrael fet their faces on me, that I 
fhould reign : howbeitthe kingdom isturned about, and 
is become my brother's ; for it was his from theLoRD. 

16 And now I afk one petition of thee, f deny me 
not. And fhe faid unto him, Say on. 

17 And he faid, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon 
the king, (for he will not fay thee nay,) that he give 
me Abifhag the Shunammite to wife. 

18 And Bathfheba faid, Well ; I will fpeak for 
thee unto the king. 

19 iTBathfheba, therefore, went untokingSolomon, 
to fpeak unto him for Adonijah. And the king rofe 
up to meet her, and bowed himfelf unto her, and fat 
down on his throne, and caufed a feat to be fet for the 
king's mother ; and fhe fat on his right hand.

,fk on, my mother ; for I will not fay thee nay. 

21 And ihefaid, Let Abifhag the Shunammite be 
given to Adonijah thy brother to wife. 

22 And king Solomon anfwered, and faid unto his 
mother, And why doit thou alk Abifhag the Shunam- 
mite for Adonijah ? afk for him the kingdom alfo ; 
(for lie is mine elder brother ;) even for him, and for 
Abiathar the prieft, and for Joab the fon of Zeruiah. 

23 Then king Solomon fware by the Lord, faying, 
God do ib to me, and more alfo, if Adonijah have not 
fpoken tills word againft his own life. 

24 Now, therefore, as the Lord liveth, which hath 
eftablifhed me, and fet me on the throne of David my 
father, and who hath made me an houfe, as he 1 prom- l *'• 
ifed, Adonijah fhall be put to death this day. 

25 And king Solomon fent by the hand of Benaiah 
the fon of Jehoiada ; and he fell upon him that he died. 

26 II And unto Abiathar the prieft faid the king, Get 
thee to Anathoth, unto thine own fields j for thou art 

f worthy of death ; but I will not at this time put thee t Heb.« mc » 
to death, becaufe thou bareft the ark of the Lord o/ui " /;: - 
God before David my father, and becaufe thou halt 
been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicled. 

27 So Solomon thru ft out Abiathar from being 
prieft unto the Lord ; that he might m fulfil the word "j,^, 
of the Lord which he fpake concerning the houfe of 

Eli in Shiloh. 

28 If Then tidings came to Joab ; (for Joab had turn- 
ed after Adonijah, though he turned not after Abfa- 
lom ;) and Joab fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord, 
and caught hold on the horns of the altar. 

29 And it was told king Solomon that Joab was 
fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord ; and, behold, 
he is by the altar : then Solomon fent Benaiah the fon 
Jehoiada, faying, Go, fall upon him. 

30 And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the 
Lord, and faid unto him, Thus faith the king, Come 
forth. And he faid, Nay ; but I will die here. And 
Benaiah brought the king word again, faying, Thus 
faid Joab, and thus he anfwered me. 

31 And the king faid unto him, do as he hath faid, 
and fall upon him, and bury him ; that thou mayeft 
take aw T ay the innocent blood which Joab fhed from 
me, and from the houfe of my father. 

32 And the Lord fhall return his blood upon his 
own head, who fell upon two men more righteous and 
better than he, and flew them with the fword, my fa- 
ther David not knowing thereof, to wit, " Abner the n »$•*•*"» 
fon of Ner, captain of the hoft of Ifrael, and ° Amafa mfZ*" 
the fon of Jether, captain of the hoft Judah. 

33 Their blood fliall therefore return upon the head 
of Joab, and upon the head of his feed for ever : but 
upon David, and upon his feed, and upon his houie, 
and upon his throne, fhall there be peace for ever 
from the Lord. 

34 So Benaiah the fon of Jehoiada went up, and fell 
upon him, and flew him ; and he was buried in his 
own houfe in the wildernefs. 

35 U And the king put Benaiah the fon of Jehoiada 
in his room over the hoft : and Zadok the prieft did 
the king put in the room of Abiathar. 

36 II And the king fent and called for Shimei, and 
faid unto him, Build thee an houfe in Jerufalem, and 
dwell there, and go not forth thence any whither. 

37 For it fhall be, that on the day thou goeft out,

God affiareth to Solomon in a dream : C H A 

for certain that thou fhalt furely die : thy blood fhall 
be upon thine own head. 

38 And Shimei faid unto the king, The Hiving is 
good : as my lord the king hath faid, fo will thy fer- 

• vant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jerufalem many days.. 

39 And it came to pafs, at the end of three years, 
that two of the fervants of Shimei ran away unto 
Achifh, fon of Maachah king of Gath : and they told 
Shimei, faying, Behold, thy fervants be in Gath. 

40 And Shimei arofe, and faddled his afs, and went 
to Gath, to Achifh, to feek his fervants : and Shimei 
went and brought his fervants from Gath. 

41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had gone 
from Jerufalem to Gath, and was come again. 

42 And the king fent and called for Shimei, and faid 
unto him, Did I not make thee to fwear by the Lord, 
and protefted unto thee, faying, Know for a certain, 
that on the day thou goeft out, and walkeft abroad any 
whither, that thcfci fhalt furely die f And thou faidft 
unto me, The word that I have heard, is good 

43 Why then haft thou not kept the oadi of the 
Lord, and the commandment that I have charged 
thee with ? 

44 The king faid moreover to Shimei, Thou know- 
eft all the wickednefs which thine heart is privy to, that 
thou didft to David my father ; therefore the Lord 
fhall return thy wickednefs upon thine own head : 

45 And king Solomon shall be bleifed , and the throne 
of David fhall be eftablifhed before the Lord for ever. 

46 So the king commanded Benaiah the fon of Je- 
hoiada ; which went out, and fell upon him, that he 

pichron.1 1. died : and the p kingdom was eftablifhed in the hand 
of Solomon.

choice what to ask; he askctb wisdom, and obtaineth 
with it, riches and honour. 16 Solomon' 's judgment 
between the two harlots maheth his wisdom renowned. 
cT 4 8 A ND a Solomon made affinity with Pharaoh king 
±\. of Egypt, and took Pharaoh's daughter, and 
brought her into the city of David, until he had made 
an end of building his own houfe, and the houfe of 
the Lord, and the wall of Jerufalem round about. 

2 \ Only the people facrificed in high places, be- 
caufe there was no houfe built unto the name of the 
Lor'd, until thofe days. 

3 And Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the 
ftatutes of David his father : only he facrificed and 
burned incenfe in high places. 

4 And the king went to Gibeon to facrifice there : 
for that was the great high place : a thoufand burnt 
offerings did Solomon offer upon that altar. 

5 1 In Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solomon in a 
dream by night : and God faid, Afk what I fhall give 
thee. 

6 And Solomon faid, Thou haft (hewed unto thy

he walked before thee in truth, and in righteou fuels, 
and in uprightnefs of heart with thee ; and thou haft

9 b Give, therefore, thy fervant an f un lerftan ding

good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy fo 
great a people ? 

10 And the fpeech pleafed the Lord, that Solo- 
mon had afked this thing. 

11 And God faid unto him, Becaufe thou haft afk-

15 And Solomon awoke ; and, behold, it was a 
dream : and he came to Jerufalem, and flood before 
the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and offered up 
burnt offerings, and offered peace offerings, and made 
a feaft to all his fervantsv 

16 If Then came therfe two women, that were har- 
lots, unto the king, and flood before him. 

17 And the one woman faid, O my lord, I and 
this woman dwell in one houfe ; and I was delivered 
of a child with her in the houfe. 

18 And it came to pafs, the third day after that 
I was delivered, that this woman was delivered alfo ; 
and we were together ; there was no ftranger with us 
in the houfe, fave we two in the houfe. 

19 And this woman's child died in die night ; be- 
caufe fhe overlaid it. 

20 And fhe arofe at midnight, and took my fon 
from befide me, while thine handmaid flcpt, and laid 
it in her bofom, and laid her dead child in my bofom. 

21 And when I arofe in the morning to give my 
child fuck ; behold, it was dead : but when I had con- 
fidered it in the morning, behold, it was not my fon 
which I did bear. 

22 And the other woman faid, Nay ; but the living 
is my fon, and the dead is thy fon. And this faid, 
No ; but the dead is thy fon, and the living is my fon. 
Thus they fpake before the king. 

23 Then faid the king, The one faith, This is my fon 
that liveth, and thy fon is the dead : and the other faith, 
Nay ; but thy fon is the dead, and my fon is the living. 

24 And the king faid, Bring me a fword. And 
they brought a fword before the king. 

25 And the king faid, Divide the living child in 
two, and give half to the one, and half to the othen 

26 Then fpake the woman whofe the living child 

was, unto the king, (for her bowels f yearned upon her tftefi. -.. 
fon,) and fhe faid, O my lord, give her the living child, 
and in no wife flay it : but the other faid, Let it be 
neither mine nor thine, but divide it. 

27 Then the king anfwered and faid, Give her the 
living child, and in no wife flay it ; fhe is the mother 
thereof.

O king Solomon was king over all Ifrael.

5 And Azariah the fon of Nathan was over the 
officers ; and Zabud the fon of Nathan was principal 
officer, and the king's friend ; 

6 And Ahifhar was over the houfehold ; and a Ado- 
niram the fon of Abda was over the || tribute. 

7 11 And Solomon had twelve officers over all Ifrael, 
which provided vicluals for the king and his houfe- 
hold : each man his month in a year made provifion. 

8 or, Benhur. g And thefe are their names : || The fon of Hur in

ed Sochoh, and all the land of Hepher. 

11 || The fon of Abinadab in all the region of Dor, 
which had Taphath the daughter of Solomon to wife. 

12 Baana the fon of Ahilud ; to him pertained Taa- 
nach, and Megiddo, and all Bethfhean, which is by 
Zartanah, beneath Jefreel, from Bethfliean to Abel- 
meholah, even unto the place that is beyond Jokneam. 

13 || The fon ofGeber in Ramothgilead ; to him 
pertained the towns of Jair the fon of Manaffeh, which 
are in Gilead ; to him also pertained the region of 
Argob, which is in Bafhan, threefcore great cities 
with walls and brafen bars. 

14 Ahinadab the fon of Iddo had || Mahanaim. 

15 Ahimaaz was in Naphtali ; he alfo took Baf- 
math the daughter of Solomon to wife. 

16 Baanah the fon of Hufhai was in Afher and in 
Aloth. 

17 Jehofhaphat the fon of Paruah in Iffachar. 

18 Shimei the fon of Elah in Benjamin. 

19 Geber the fon of Uri was in the country of Gil- 
ead, in the country of Sihon king of the Amorites, 
and of Og king of Bafhan ; and he was the only offi- 
cer which was in the land. 

20 II Judah and Ifrael were many, as the fand which 
is by the fea in multitude, eating and drinking, and 
making merry. 

21 And b Solomon reigned over all kingdoms, from 
the river unto the land of the Philiftines, and unto the 
border of Egypt : they brought prefents, and ferved 
Solomon all the days of his life. 

22 IF And Solomon's f provifion for one day was 
thirty f meafures of fine flour, and threefcore meaf- 
ures of meal, 

23 Ten fat oxen, and twenty oxen out of the paf-

25 And Judah and Ifrael dwelt t fafely, every man 
under his vine, and under his fig tree, from Dan even 
to Beerlheba, all the days of Solomon. 

26 If And c Solomon had forty thoufand ftalls of 
horfes for his chariots, and twelve thoufand horfemen. 

27 And thofe officers provided victual for king 
Solomon, and for all that came unto king Solomon's 
table, every man in his month : they lacked nothing. 

28 Barley alfo and ftraw for the horfes and || drom- 
edaries brought they unto the place where the officers 
were, every man according to his charge. 

29 IF And d God gave Solomon wifdom and under- 
ftanding exceeding much, and largenefs of heart, even 
as the fand that is on the fea fhore. 

30 And Solomon's wifdom excelled the wifdom of 
all the children of the eaft country, and all the wifdom 
of Egypt. 

3 1 For he was wifer than all men ; than Ethan the 
Ezrahite, andHeman, andChalcol, andDarda, thefons 
of Mahol : and his fame was in all nations round about.. 

32 And he fpake three thoufand proverbs ; and 
his fongs were a thoufand and five. 

33 And he fpake of trees, from the cedar tree that 
is in Lebanon, even unto the hyffop that fpringeth out 
of the wall ; he fpake alfo of beafts, and of fowl, and 
of creeping things, and of fifhes. 

34 And there came of all people to hear the wif- 
dom of Solomon, from ail kings of the earth, which 
had heard of his wifdom. 

C H A P. V. 
1 Hiram, sending to congratulate Solomon, is certified 
of his purpose to build the temple, and desired to fur- 
7iisb him voith timber for that purpose. 7 Hiram, 
blessing God for Solomon' 's wisdom, and requesting 
food for his household, fumisheth him with timber for 
the work: 10 their mutual services. 13 The num-

ND Hiram king of Tyre fent his fervants unto 
Solomon ; (for he had heard that they had 
anointed him king in the room of his father ;) for 
Hiram was ever a lover of David. 

2 And a Solomon fent to Hiram, faying, 

3 Thou knoweft how that David my father could 
not build an houfe unto the name of the Lord his 
God, for the wars which were about him on every fide, 
until the Lord put them under the foles of his feet. 

4 But now the Lord my God hath given me reft 
on every fide, so that there is neither adverfary nor 
evil occurrent. 

5 And, behold, 1 1 purpofe to build an houfe unto t'Heb. say.

6 Now, therefore, command thou, that they hew me 
cedar trees out of Lebanon ; and my fervants fhall be

thy fervants, according to all that thou fhalt t ap- tKc 
point : for thou knoweft that there is not among us any 
that can fkill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians. 

7 IF And it came to pafs, when Hiram heard the 
words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and faid, 
Bleffed be the Lord this day, which hath given unto

10 IT So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees, and fir 
trees, according to all his defire. 

11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thoufand 
t meafures of wheat for food to his houfehold, and 
twenty meafures of pure oil : thus gave Solomon to 
Hiram year by year. 

12 And the Lord gave Solomon wifdom, c as he 
promifed him : and there was peace between Hiram 
and Solomon ; and they two made a league together. 

13 If And king Solomon raifed a tlevy out of all 
Ifrael ; and the levy was thirty thoufand men. 

14 And he fent them to Lebanon, ten thoufand a

15 And Solomon had threefcore and ten thoufand

the mountains : 

16 Befide the chief of Solomon's officers which 
were over the work, three thoufand and three hundred, 
which ruled over the people that wrought in the work. 

17 And the king commanded, and they brought 
great Hones, coftly ftones, and hewed ftones, to lay 
the foundation of the houfe.

AN D a it came to pafs, in the four hundred and 
eightieth year after the children of Ifrael were 
come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of 
Solomon's reign over Ifrael, in the month Zif, which 
is the fecond month, that he t began to build the 
houfe of the Lord. 

2 II And the houfe which king Solomon built for 
the Lord, the length thereof was threefcore cubits, 
and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and the height 
thereof thirty cubits. 

3 And the porch before the temple of the houfe, 
twenty cubits ivas the length thereof, according to 
the breadth of the houfe ; arid ten cubits was the 
breadth thereof before the houfe.

6 The nethermoft chamber was five cubits broad,

the beams fhould not be fattened in the walls of the 
houfe. 

7 And the houfe, when it was in building, was built 
of ftone made ready before it was brought thither : 
fo that there was neither hammar, nor axe, nor any 
tool of iron, heard in the houfe while it was in building". 
_ 8 The door for the middle chamber was in the 
right t fide of the houfe : and they went up with 
winding Hairs into the middle chamber, and out of the 
middle into the third. 

9 So he built the houfe, and finifhed it ; and cover- 
ed the houfe || with beams and boards of cedar. 

10 And then he built chambers againft all the houfe, 
five cubits high : and they refted on the houfe with 
timber of cedar. 

1 1 If And the word of the Lord came to Solomon, 
faying, 

12 Concerning this houfe which thou art inbuilding, 
if thou wilt walk in my ftatutes, and execute my 
judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk 
in them : then will I perform my word with thee, 
b which I fpake unto David thy father. 

13 And I will dwell among the children of Ifrael, 
and will not forfake my people Ifrael. 

14 If So Solomon built the houfe, and finifhed it. 

15 And he built the walls of the houfe within with 
boards of cedar, || both the floor of the houfe, and the 
walls of the cieling : and he covered them on the in- 
fidewith wood, and covered the floor of the houfe 
with planks of fir. 

16 And he built twenty cubits on the fides of the 
houfe, both the floor and the walls with boards of 
cedar : he even built them for it within, even for the 
oracle, even for the moft holy place. 

17 And the houfe, that is, the temple before it, was 
forty cubits long. 

18 And the cedar of the houfe within was carved 
with || knops and t open flowers : all was cedar ; diere 
was no ftone feen. 

19 If And the oracle he prepared in the houfe within, 
to fet there the ark of the covenant of the Lord. 

20 And the oracle in the forepart was twenty cu- 
bits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and 
twenty cubits in the height thereof; and he t overlaid 
it widi pure gold ; and so covered the altar which was 
of cedar. 

21 So Solomon overlaid the houfe within with pure 
gold : and he made a partition by the chains of gold 
before the oracle, and he overlaid it with gold. 

22 And the whole houfe he overlaid with gold, 
until he had finifhed all the houfe : alfo the whole 
altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold. 

23 If And within the oracle he made two cheru- 
bims of\\ f olive tree, each ten cubits high. 

24 And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, 
and five cubits the other wing of the cherub : from 
the uttermoft part of the one wing unto the utter- 
moil part of the other were ten cubits. 

25 And the other cherub was ten cubits : both the 
cherubims were of one meafure and one fize. 

26 The height of the one cherub was ten cubits, 
and fo was it of the other cherub. 

27 And he fet the cherubims within the inner 
houfe : and c || they ilretched forth the wings of the 
cherubims, fo that the wing of the one touched the 
one wall, and the wing of the other cherub touched

trees, and f open flowers, within and without. 

30 And the floor of the houfe he overlaid with

31 H And for the entering of the oracle he made 
doors of olive tree : the lintel and tide polls were || a

therbreadth thereof fifty cubits, and the height there- 
of thirty cubits, upon four rows of cedar pillars, with 
cedar beams upon the pillars.

4 And there were windows in three rows, and 
t light was againft light in three ranks. 

5 And all the II doors and polls were Square with the

6 II And he made a porch of pillars ; the length 
thereof was fifty cubits, and the breadth thereof thirty

13 II And king Solomon fent, and fetched Hiram 
out of Tyre. 

14 He was f a widow's fon of the tribe of Nanhtali, 
and his father was a man of Tyre, a worker in brafs • 
and he was filled with wifdom and underftanding, and 
cunning to work all works in brafs : and he came to 
king Solomon, and wrought all his work. 

15 IT For he f call two pillars of brafs, of eighteen 
cubits high apiece ; and a line of twelve cubits did 
compafs either of them about. 

16 And he made two chapiters of molten brafs, to 
fet upon the tops of the pillars : the height of the one 
chapiter was five cubits, and the height of the other 
chapiter was five cubits : 

1 7 And nets of checker work, and wreaths of chain 
work, for the chapiters which were upon the top of 
the pillars ; feven for the one chapiter, and feven for 
the other chapiter. 

18 And he made the pillars and two rows round 
about upon the one net work, to cover the chapiters 
that were upon the top, with pomegranates : and fo 
did he for the other chapiter. 

19 And the chapiters, that were upon the top of the 
pillars, were of lily work in the porch, four cubits. 

20 And the chapiters upon the two pillars had pom- 
egranates alfo above, over againft the belly, which was 
by the net work : and the pomegranates %ve re two hun- 
dred, in rows round about upon the other chapiter. 

21 c And he fet up the pillars in the porch of the 
temple : and he fet up the right pillar, and called the 
name thereof || Jachin ; and he fet up the left pillar, 11 That a, 
and called the name thereof || Boaz. «LS. 

22 And upon the top of the pillars was lily work : j^L"' 
fo was the work of the pillars finifhed. strength. 

23 H And he made a molten fea, ten cubits t from f££-/™* 
the one brim to the other ; it was round all about, hiUrim." 
and his height was five cubits ; and a line of thirty 
cubits did compafs it round about. 

24 And under the brim of it round about there were 
knops compafling it, ten in a cubit, d compafling the d*chr»E. 
fea round about : the knops were caft in two rows 4 3 * 
when it was caft. 

25 It flood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward 
the north, and three looking toward the weft, and 
three looking toward the fouth, and three looking to- 
ward the eaft : and the fea was^ set above upon them, 
and all their hinder parts were inwards 

26 And it was an hand breadth, thick, and the 
brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a cup, with 
flowers of lilies : it contained two thoufand baths. ; 

27 TT And he made ten bafes of brafs : four cubits 
was the length of one bafe, and four cubits the breadth 
thereof, and three cubits the height of it. 

28 II And the work of the bales was on this man- 
ner : they had borders, and the borders were between 
the ledges :

were lions, oxen, and cherubims : and upon the ledges 
there was a bafe above; and beneath the lions and 
oxen were certain additions made of thin work. 

30 And every bafe had four brafen wheels, and 
plates of brafs ; and the four corners thereof had un- 
derfetters : under the laver were underfetters molten, 
at the fide of every addition. 

31 And the mouth of it, within the chapiter and 
above, was a cubit ; but the mouth thereof was round, 
after the work of the bale, a cubit and an half ; and 
alfo upon the mouth of it were gravings with their 
borders, four fquare, not round. 

32 And under the borders were four wheels; and the 
axletrees of the wheels were \ joined to the bafe; and 
the height of a wheel was a cubit and half a cubit. 

33 And the work of the wheels was like the work 
of a chariot wheel ; their axletrees and their naves, 
and their felloes, and their fpokes were all molten. 

34 And there were four underfetters to the four 
comers of one bafe ; and the underfetters were of the 
very bafe itfelf. 

35 And in the top of the bafe was there a round com- 
pafs of half a cubit high : and on the top of the bafe, the 
ledges thereof, and the borders thereof, were of the fame. 

36 For on the plates of the ledges thereof, and on 
the borders thereof, he graved cherubims, lions, and 
palm trees, according to the f proportion of every one, 
and additions round about. 

37 After this manner he made the tenbafes : all of 
them had one calling, one meafure, and one fize. 

38 U Then made he ten la vers of brafs : one laver 
contained forty baths ; and every laver was four cubits : 
and upon every one of the ten bafes one laver. 

39 And he put five bafes on the right t fide of the 
houfe, and five on the left fide of the houfe ; and he 
fet the fea on the right fide of the houfe eaftward, 
over againll the fouth. 

40 II And f Hiram made the lavers, and the fhovels, 
and the bafons : fb Hiram made an end of doing all 
the work that he made king Solomon for the houfe 
of the Lord ; 

41 The two pillars, and the two bowls of the chap- 
iters that were on the top of the two pillars ; and the 
two net works to cover the two bowls of the chapiters 
which were upon the top of the pillars ; 

42 And four hundred pomegranates for the two net 
works, even two rows of pomegranates for one net 
work, to cover the two bowls of the chapiters that 
were t upon the pillars ; 

43 And the ten bafes, and ten lavers on the bafes ; 

44 And one fea, and twelve oxen under the fea ; 

45 And the pots, and the fhovels, and the bafons, and

THEN a Solomon affembled the elders of Ifrael, and '°°+- 
all the heads of the tribes, the tchief of the fathers 5 '• 
of the children of Ifrael, unto king Solomon in Jerufa- *5*- h

2 And all the men of Ifrael affembled themfelves 
unto king Solomon at the feaft in the month Etha- 
nim, which is the feventh month. 

3 And all the elders of Ifrael came, and the priefts 
took up the ark. 

4 And they brought up the ark of the Lord, and 
the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy 
veffels that were in the tabernacle, even thofe did the 
priefts and the Levites bring up. 

5 And king Solomon, and all the congregation of 
Ifrael, that were affembled unto him, were with him 
before the ark, facrificing fheep and oxen, that could 
not be told nor numbered for multitude. 

6 And the priefts brought in the ark of the cove- 
nant of the Lord unto his place, into the oracle of the 
houfe, to the moll holy place, even under the wings 
of the cherubims. 

7 For the cherubims fpread forth their two wings 
over the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered 
the ark and the Haves thereof above. 

8 And they drew out the Haves, that the f ends of t »*.*«*: 
the Haves were feen out in the |j holy place before the 
oracle, and they were not feen without: and there \okZ\Z 
they are unto this day.

come out of the holy place, that the cloud c filled the cExod. 4 o^, 
houfe of the Lord, 

11 So that the priefts could not ftand to minifter 
becaufe of the cloud : for the glory of the Lord had 
filled the houfe of the Lord.

21 And I have fet there a place for the ark, wherein 
is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our

22 II And Solomon Itood before f the altar of the

56 Bleffed be the Lord, that hath given reft unto 
his people Ifrael, according to all that he promifed : 

s-Heb. fallen. t } iere ha t h not -j- failed one word of all his good promife, 
which he promifed by the hand of Moles his fervant. 

57 The Lord our God be with iT§|Pas he was with 
our fathers ; let him not leave us, nor forfake us ; 

58 That he may incline our hearts unto him, to 
walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, 
and his ftatutes, and his judgments, which he com- 
manded our fathers. 

59 And let thefe my words, wherewith I have made 
fupplication before the Lord, be nigh unto the Lord 
our God day and night, that he maintain the caufe of 

Ju^J'^ dav his fervant, and the caufe of his people Ifrael f at all 
in hn day. times, as the matter fhall require : 

60 That all the people of the earth may know that 
the Lord is God, and that there is none elfe. 

61 Let your heart, therefore, be perfect with the 
Lord our God, to walk in his ftatutes, and to keep 
his commandments, as at this day. 

62 % i\.nd m the king, and all Ifrael with him, offer- 
ed facrifice before the Lord. 

63 And Solomon offered a facrifice of peace offer- 
ings which he offered unto the Lord, two and twenty 
thoufand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thoufand 
ftieep; So the king and all the children of Ifrael dedi- 
cated the houfe of the Lord. 

64 n The feme day did the king hallow the middle 
of the court that was before the houfe of the Lord : 
for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, 
and the fat of the peace offerings ; becaufe the brafen 
altar that was before the Lord was too little to receive 
the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of 
the peace offerings. 

65 If And at that time Solomon held a feaft, and 
all Ifrael with him, a great congregation, from the 
entering in of Hamath unto the river of Egypt, before 
the Lord our God, feven days and feven days, emeu 
fourteen days. 

66 On the eighth day he fent the people away : and 
they I! bleffed the king, and went unto their tents joy- 
ful and glad of heart, for all the goodnefs that the Lord 
had done for David his fervant, and for Ifrael his people.

king's houfe, and all Solomon's defire, which he was 
pleafed to do, 

t 2 That the Lord appeared to Solomon the fecond 
time, b as he had appeared unto him at Gibeon. 

3 And the Lord laid unto him, I have heard thy 
prayer and thy fupplication that thou haft made be- 
fore me : I have hallowed this houfe which thou haft 
built, c to put my name there for ever ; and mine eyes 
and mine heart lhall be there pexpetually. 

4 And if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy 
father walked, in integrity of heart, and in upright - 
nefs, to do according to all that I have commanded 
thee, and will keep my ftatutes and my judgments : 

5 Then I will eftablifh the throne of thy kingdom 
upon Ifrael for .ever, d as I promifed to David thy 
father, faying, There fhall not fail thee a man upon 
the throne of Ifrael. 

6 But if ye fhall at all turn from following me, ye 
or your children, and will not keep my command- 
ments and my ftatutes, which I have fet before you, 
but go and ferve other gods, and worfhip them : 

7 Then will I cut oftTfrael out of the land which I 
have given them ; and this houfe, which I have hallow- 
ed e for my name, will I call out of my light ; and Ifrael 
fhall be a proverb and a byword among all people : 

8 And at this houfe which is high, every one that 
paffeth by it, fhall be aftonilned, and fhall hifs ; and 
they fhall fay, f Why hath the Lord done thus unto 
this land, and to this houfe l 

9 And they fhall anfwer, Becaufe they forfook the 
Lord their God, who brought forth their fathers out 
of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold upon other 
gods, and have worlhipped them, and ferved them ; 
therefore hath the Lord brought upon them all this 
evil. 

10 IT And ? it came to pafs, at the end of twenty 
years, when Solomon had built the two houfes, the 
houfe of the Lord, and the king's houfe, 

1 1 (Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnifhed 
Solomon with cedar trees, and fir trees, and with gold, 
according to all his defire,) that then king Solomon 
gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee. 

12 And Hiram came out from Tyre to fee the cit- 
ies which Solomon had given him ; and they f pleafed 
him not, 

13 And he faid, What cities are thefe which thou 
haft given me, my brother ? And he called them the 
land of || Cabul unto this day. 

14 And Hiram fent tothe kingfixfcoretalenis of gold. 

15 IT And this is the reafon of the levy which king 
Solomon raifed, for to build the houfe of the Lord, 
and his own houfe, and Millo, and the wall of Jerufa- 
lem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer. 

16 For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and 
taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and flain the Ca- 
naanites that dwelt in the city, and given it for a pref- 
ent unto his daughter, Solomon's wife.

land, whom the children of Ifrael alio were not able 
utterly to deftroy, upon thefe did Solomon levy a

22 But of the children of Ifrael did Solomon h make

burnt offerings and peace offerings upon the altar 
which he built unto the Lord, and he burnt incenfe

26 H And king Solomon made a navy of fhips in 
Eziongeber, which is beiide Eloth, on the f fhore of 
the Red fea, in the land of Edom. 

27 And Hiram fent in the navy his fervants, fhip-

cious ftones : there came no more fuch abundance of 
fpices as thefe which the queen of Sheba gave to king 
Solomon. 

11 And the navy alfo of Hiram, that brotight gold 
from Ophir, brought^ in from Ophir great plenty of 
almug trees, and precious ftones. 

12 And the king made of the almug trees [| f pillars 
for the houfe of the Lord, and for the king's houfe ; 
harps alfo, and pfalteries for fingers : there came no 
fuch b almug trees, nor were feen, unto this day. 

13 And king Solomon gave unto the queen of Sheba 9l °'

Solomon gave her f of his royal bounty. So fhe turned, 
and went to her own country, fhe and her fervants. 

14 IT Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon

of gold. 

15 Befide that he had of the merchantmen, and of 
the traffick of the fpice merchants, and of all the kings

16 "H And king Solomon made two hundred targets capta ""- 
of beaten gold : fix hundred shekels of gold went to 

one target. 

17 And he made three hundred fhields of beaten 
gold ; three pound of gold went to one fhield : and the 

king put them in the c houfe of the foreft of Lebanon, cchap. 7 a. 

18 IT Moreover, the king made a great throne of

21 IT And all king Solomon's drinking veffels were 
of gold, and all the veffels of the houfe of the foreft of

was nothing accounted of in the days of Solomon.

neither (hall they come in unto you ; for furely they 
will turn away your heart after their gods : Solomon 
clave unto thefe in love. 

3 And he had feven hundred wives, princeffes, and 
three hundred concubines : and his wives turned 
away his heart* 

; 4 For it caine to pafs^ when Solomon was old, that 
his wives turned away his heart after other gods : 
and his heart was not perfect, with the Lord his God, 
as was the heart of David his father. 

5 For Solomon went after ' Afhtoreth the goddefs 
of the Zidonians ; and after Milcom, the abomination 
of the Ammonites. 

6 And Solomon did evil in the fight of the Lord, 
andt went not fully after the Lord, as did David his 
Father. 

7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Che- 
mofh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is 
before Jerufulem ; and for Molechj the abomination 
of the children of Amnion; 

8 And likewife did he for all his ftrange wives, 
which burned incenfe, and facrificed unto their gods. 

9 U And the Lord was angry with Solomon, be- 
caufe his heart was turned from the Lord God of 
Ifrael, d which had appeared unto him twice, 

10 e And had commanded him concerning this 
thing, that he fliould not go after other gods : but he 
kept not that which the Lord commanded. 

11 Wherefore the Lord faid unto Solomon, For-

and Joab the captain of the hoft was gone up to bury 
the ilain, after he had fmitten every male in Edom. 

16 (For fix months did Joab remain there with all 
Ifrael, until he had cut off every male in Edom,) 

_ _1 7 That Hadad fled, he, and certain Edomites of 
his father's fervants with him, to go into Egypt ; Ha- 
dad being yet a little child. 

18 And they arofe out of Midiaiij and came to Pa- 
ran ; and th<;y took men with them out of Paran, and 
they came to Egypt, unto Pharaoh king of Egypt ; 
which gave him an houfe, and appointed him victuals, 
and gave him land. 

19 And Hadad found great favour in the fight of 
Pharaoh, fo that he gave him to wife the lifter of his 
own wife, the filter of Tahpenes the queen. 

_ 20 And the lifter of Tahpenes bare him Genubath 
his fon, whom Tahpenes weaned in Pharaoh's houle : 
and Genubath was in Pharaoh's houfehold among the 
fons of Pharaoh. 

21 And when Hadad heard in Egypt that David 
flept with his fathers, and that Joab the captain of the 
hoft was deadj Hadad faid to Pharaoh, f Let me de- 
part, that I may go to mine own country. 

22 Then Pharaoh faid unto him, But what haft thou 
lacked with me* that, beholdj thou feekeft to go to 
thine own country ? And he aniwered, f Nothing

23 IF And God ftirred him up another adverfary, 
Rezon the fon of Eliadah, which fled from his lord 
Hadadezer king of Zobah;

name was Zeruah, a widow woman,) even he lifted 
up his hand againit the king; 

27 And this was the caufe that he lifted up his hand 
againft the king : Solomon built Millo, and J repaired t HeK. 
the breaches of the city of David his lather. 

28 And the man Jeroboam was a mighty man of 
valour : and Solomon feeing the young man that he 
f was induftrious^ lie made him ruler over all the

29 And it came to pafs at that time, when Jero-

unto us ; thus fhalt thou fay unto them, My little 
finger ihall be thicker than my father's loins. 

1 L And now, whereas my father did lade you with 
a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke : ray father hath 
chaitifed you with whips, but I will chaftife you with 
fcorpions. 

12 *i[ So Jeroboam and all the people came to Re- 
hoboam the third day, as the king had appointed, fay- 
ing, Come to me again the third day. 

13 And the king anfwered the people f roughly, 
and forfook the olefmen's counfel that they gave him : 

14 And fpake to them after the counfel of the young 
men, faying, My father made your yoke heavy, and I 
will add to your yoke : my father also chaftiied you 
with whips, but I will chaftife you with fcorpions. 

15 Wherefore the king hearkened not unto the peo- 
ple : for the caufe was from the Lord, that he might 
perform his faying, which the Lord d fpake by Ahijah n ^**' 
the Shilonite unto Jeroboam the fon of Nebat. 

16 IF So when all Ifrael faw that the king hearkened 
not unto them, the people anfwered the king, laying, 
What portion have we in David ? neither have we 
inheritance in the fon of Jeffe : to your tents, O Ifrael. 
Now, fee to thine own houfe, David. So Ifrael de- 
parted unto their tents. 

17 But as for the children of Ifrael which dwelt in 
the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 

18 Then king Rehoboam fent Adoram, who was 
over the tribute ; and all Ifrael ftoned him with ftones, 
that he died : therefore king Rehoboam f made fpeed 
to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerufalem. 

19 So Ifrael || rebelled againft the houfe of David 
unto this day. 

20 H And it came to pafs, when all Ifrael heard that 
Jeroboam was come again, that they lent and called 
him unto the congregation, and made him king over 
all Ifrael : there was none that followed the houfe of 
David but the tribe of Judah e only. 

21 H And when Rehoboam was come to Jerufalem, 
he aifembled ail the houfe of Judah, with the tribe of 
Benjamin, an hundred and fourfcore thoufand chofen 
men, which were warriors, to fight againft the houfe 
of Ifrael, to bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam the 
fon of Solomon. 

22 But f the word of God came unto Shemaiah 
the man of God, faying, 

23 Speak unto Rehoboam the fon of Solomon, king 
of Judah, and unto all the houfe of Judah and Benja- 
min, and to the remnant of the people, laying, 

24 Thus faith the Lord, Ye fhall not go up, nor 
fight againft your brethren the children of Ifrael : return 
every man to his houfe; for this thing isfromme. They 
hearkened, therefore, to the word of the Lord, and re- 
turned to depart, according to the word of the Lord.

26 IT And Jeroboam laid in his heart, Now fhall

27 If this people go up to do facrifice in the houfe 
of the Lord at Jerufalem, then fhall the heart of this 
people turn again unto their lord, even unto Reho- 
boam king of Judah, and they fhall kill me, and go 
again to Rehoboam king of Judah. 

28 Whereupon the king took counfel, and made two 
calves o/gold, and faid unto them, It is too much for 

gExoii. 3*s.y 0U to g0 up t0 Jerufalem : g behold thy gods, O If- 
rael, which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt. 

29 And he fet the one in Bethel, and the other put 
he in Dan. 

50 And this thing became a fin : for the people 
went to worship before the one, even unto Dan. 

31 And he made an houfe of high places, and made 
priefts of the lowed of the people, which were not of 
the fons of Levi. 

32 And Jeroboam ordained a feaft in the eighth 
month, on the fifteenth day of the month, like unto 
the feaft that is in Judah, and he || offered upon the al- 
tar, (fo did he in Bethel,) || facrificing unto the calves 
that he had made : and he placed in Bethel the 
priefts of the high places which he had made. 

33 So he il offered upon the altar which he had made 
in Bethel, the fifteenth day of the eighth month, even 
in the month which he had devifed of his own heart ; 
and ordained a feaft unto the children of Ifrael : and 
he offered upon the altar, || and burnt incenfe. 

CHAP. XIII. 

1 A prophecy against the altar in Bethel. 4 Jerobo- 
am's hand wither eth, but at the prayer of the prophet 
is restored. 7 The prophet refusing the king's enter- 
tainment, departethfrom Bethel .-11 an old prophet 
seduce th him, and bring eth him back, 20 who de- 
nounceth God 's judgment against him : 23 he is slain 
by a lion, 26 and buried by the old prophet,- who 
confirmeth his prophecy. 

AND, behold, there came a man of God out of Ju- 
dah, by the word of the Lord unto Bethel : and 
Jeroboam flood by the altar || to burn incenfe. 

2 And he cried againft the altar in the word of the 
Lord, and faid, O altar, altar ! thus faith the Lord, 
behold, a child lhall be born unto the houfe of David, 
a Jofiah by name, and upon thee fhallhe offer the priefts 
of the high places that burn incenfe upon thee, and 
men's bones fhall be burnt upon thee. 

3 And he gave a fign the fame day, faying, This is 
the fign which the Lord hath fpoken ; Behold, the 
altar lhall be rent, and the allies that are upon it fhall 
be poured out. 

4 IF And it came to pafs, when king Jeroboam heard 
the faying of the man of God, which had cried againft 
the altar in Bethel, that he put forth his hand from 
the altar, faying, Lay hold on him. And his hand 
which he put forth againft him, dried up, fo that he 
could not pull it in again to him. 

5 The altar alfo was rent, and the afhes poured out 
from the altar, according to the fign which the man of 
God had given by the word of the Lord. 

6 And the king anfwered, and faid unto the man of 
God, Entreat now the face of the Lord thy God,

and pray for me, that my hand may be reftored me 
again. And the man of God befought fthe Lord, and 
the king's hand was reftored him again, and became 
as it was before. 

7 11 And the king faid unto the man of God, Come 
home with me and refrefh thyfelf, and I will give thee 
a reward. 

8 And the man of God faid unto the king, If thou 
wilt give me half thine houfe, I wili not go in with thee, 
neither will I eat bread nor drink water in this place : 

9 For fo was it charged me by the word of the 
Lord, faying, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor 
turn again by the fame way that thou cameft. 

10 So he went another way, and returned not by 
the way that he came to Bethel. 

1 1 IF Now there dwelt an old prophet in Bethel ; 
and his fons came and told him all the works that the 
man of God had done that day in Bethel : the words 
which he had fpoken unto the king, them they told 
alfo to their father. 

12 And their father faid unto them, What way went 
he ? For his fons had feen what way the man of God 
went, which came from Judah. 

13 And he faid unto his fons, Saddle me the afs-. 
So they faddled him the afs, and he rode thereon, 

14 And went after the man of God, and found him 
fitting under an oak : and he faid unto him, Art thou 
the man of God that cameft from Judah ? And he 
faid, I am. 

15 Then he faid unto him, Come home with me, 
and eat bread. 

16 And he faid, I may not return with thee, nor go 
in with thee ; neither will I eat bread nor drink water 
with thee in this place : 

17 For f it was faid to me by the word of the L r d , 
Thou fhalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor 
turn again to go by the way that thou cameft. 

18 He faid unto him, I am a prophet alfo as thou 
art ; and an angel fpake unto me by the word of the 
Lord, faying, Bring him back with thee into thine 
houfe, that he may eat bread and drink water. But 
he lied unto him. 

_ 19 So he went back with him, and did eat bread in 
his houfe, and drank water. 

20 IF And it came to pafs, as they fat at the table, that 
the word of the Lord came unto the prophet that 
brought him back : 

21 And he cried unto the man of God that came 
from Judah, faying, Thus faith the Lord, Forafmuch 
as thou haft difobeyed the mouth of the Lord, and 
haft not kept the commandment which the Lord thy 
God commanded thee, 

22 But cameft back, and haft eaten bread and drunk 
water in the place of the which the LORD did fay to 
thee, Eat no bread and drink no water ; thy carcafs 
lhall not come unto the fepulchre of thy fathers. 

23 IF And it came to pafs, after he had eaten bread, 
and after he had drunk, that he faddled for him the afs, 
to wit, for the prophet whom he had brought back. 

24 And when he was gone, a lion met him by the way, 
and flew him : and his carcafs was caft in the way, 
and the afs flood by it, the lion alfo flood by the carcafs. 

25 And, behold, men paffed by, and law the carcafs 
caft in the way, and the lion Handing by the carcafs : 
and they came and told it in the city where the old 
prophet dwelt.

ot£- from the way, heard thereof, he laid, It is the man of 
God, who was difobedient unto the word of the Lord; 
therefore the Lord hath delivered him unto the lion, 
which hath f torn him, and flain him, according to 
the word of the Lord, which he fpake unto him. 

27 And he fpake to his fons, faying, Saddle me the 
afs. And they faddled him. 

28 And he went, and found his carcafs call in the 
way, and the afs and the lion Handing by the carcafs : 
the lion had not eaten the carcafs, nor f torn the afs. 

29 And the prophet took up the carcafs of the man 
of God, and laid it upon the afs, and brought it back : 
and the old prophet came to the city to mourn, and 
to bury him. 

30 And he laid his carcafs in his own grave ; and 
they mourned over him, saying, Alas, my brother ! 

31 And it came to pafs, after he had buried him, 
that he fpake to his fons, faying, When I am dead, 
then bury me in the fepulchre wherein the mail of 
God is buried ; lay my bones befide his bones : 

32 For the faying which he cried by the word of the 
Lord againft the altar in Bethel, and againft all the 
houfes^ of the high places which arc in the cities of 
Samaria, fliall finely come to pafs. 

_ 33 IT After this thing Jeroboam returned not from 
his evil way, but f made again of the loweft of the peo- 
ple, priefts of the high places : whofoever would, he 
tht'andf d t confecrated him, and he became one of the priefts of 
the high places. 

34 And this thing became fin unto the houfe of 
Jeroboam, even to cut it off, and to deftroy it from 
off the face of the earth.

unto her ; for it fhall be, when (lie cometh in, that lhe 
ih all feign herfelf to be another woman. 

6 And it was so, when Ahijah heard the found of her 
feet, as fhe came in at the door, that he faid, Come 
in, thou wife of Jeroboam ; why feigned thou thyfelf 

t Heb. hard. t0 fa another ? for I am fent to thee with f heavy tidings. 

7 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus faith the Lord God of 
Ifrael, Forafxnuch as I exalted thee from among the 




Rehoboam s wicked reign, 

people, and made thee prince over my people Ifrael, 

8 And rent the kingdom away from the houfe of. 
David, and gave it thee ; and yet thou haft not been 
as my fervant David, who kept my commandments, 
and who followed me with all his heart, to do that 
only which was right in mine eyes ; 

9 But haft done evil above all that were before thee : 
for thou haft gone and made thee other gods, and 
molten images, to provoke me to anger, and haft call 
me behind thy back : 

10 Therefore, behold, b l will bring evil upon the ^chap.ts 
houfe of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam 2 ' 

c him that piffeth againft the wall, and him that is fhut \^%£L 
up and left in Ifrael, and will take away the remnant 9 s. 
of the houfe of Jeroboam,, as a mantaketh away dung, 
till it be all gone. 

1 1 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city, fhall the 
dogs eat : and him that dieth in the field fhall the fowls 
of the air eat : for the Lord hath fpoken it. 

12 Arife thou, therefore, get thee to thine own 
houfe ; and 'when thy feet enter into the city, the child 
fliall die. 

1 3 And all Ifraer fhail mourn for him, and bury him ; 
for he only of Jeroboam fhall come to the grave, be~ 
caufe in him there is found some good thing toward 
the Lord God of Ifrael in the houfe of Jeroboam. 

14 Moreover, the Lord fhall raife him up a king 
over Ifrael, who fliall cut off the houfe of Jeroboam 
that day : but, what ? even now. 

15 For the Lord fliall finite Ifrael, as a reed is 
fliaken in the water, and he fliall root up Ifrael out of 
this good land, which he gave to their fathers, and 
fliall fcatter them bej/ond the river, becaufe they have 
made their groves, provoking the Lord to anger. 

16 And he fliall give Ifrael up, becaufe of the fins 
of Jeroboam who did fin, and who made Ifrael to fin. 

17 If And Jeroboam's wife arofe, and departed,, and 
came to Tirzah : and when fhe came to the threihold 
of the door, the child died ; 

18 And they buried him : and all Ifrael mourned for 
him, according to the word of the Lord, which he 
fpake by the hand of his fervant Ahijah the prophet. 

19 If And the reft of the acts of Jeroboam, how he 
warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written 
in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Ifrael. 

20 And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two

Rehoboam, ?Z>^ Shifhak king of Egypt came up 
againft Jerufalem : 

26 And he took away the treafures of the honfe of 
the Lord, and the treafures of the king's houfe ; he 
even took away all : and he took away all the Ihields 
of gold e which Solomon had made. 

27 And king Rehoboam- made in their Head brafen

28 And it was sa, when the king went into the houfe

them back into the guard chamber. 

29 If Now the reft of the acf s of Rehoboam, and

30 And there was war between.. Rehoboam, and 
Jeroboam all their days. 

31 And Rehoboam flept with his fathers, and was

NOW, in the eighteenth year of. king z Jeroboam 
the fon of Nebat, reigned Abijam over Judah. 

2 Three years reigned he in Jerufalem : and his mo- 
ther'sname was Maachah, the daughter of Abifhalom. 

3 And he walked in all the fins of his father, which 
he had done before him : and his heart was not per- 
fecl with. the Lord his God, as the heart of David 
his father. 

4 Neverthekfs, for David's Mike, did the Lord his 
God give him a || lamp in Jerufalem,. to fet up his Ion

5 Bccaufc David did that which was right in the

b fave only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite. 

6 And there was war between Rehoboam and Je-

7 II Now the reft of the a£ls of Abijam, and all that 
he did, are they not written in the ° book of the Chron-

tween Abijam and Jeroboam. 

8 And Abijam flept with his fathers ; and they 
buried him in the city of David : and d Ala his fon

Ifrael reigned Afa over Judah.

and his || mother's name was Maachah, the daughter

burnt it by the brook Kidron. 

14 But the high places were not removed : never- 
thekfs, Afa's heart was perfect with the Lord all his 
days. 

15 And he brought in the f things which his fa- 
ther had dedicated, and the things which himfelf had 
dedicated, into the houfeoftheLoRD, filver, and gold, 
and vefiels.. 

_ 16 H And there was war between Afa and Baafha 
king of Ifrael all their days. 

17 And f Baafha king of Ifrael went up againft Ju- 
dah, and built Ramah, that he might not fuffer any 
to go out or come in to Afa king of Judah.. 

18 Then Afa- took all the filver and the gold that 
were left in the treafures ofthe houfe ofthe Lord, and 
the treafures of the king's houfe,. and delivered them 
into the hand of his lervants : and king Afa fent them 
to s Benhadad the fon of Tabrimon, the fon of He- 
zion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damafcus, faying, 

19 There is a league between me and thee, and be- 
tween my father and thy father : behold, I have fent 
unto thee a prefent of filver and gold ; come and break 
thy league with Baafha king of Ifrael, that he may 
f depart from me. 

20 So Benhadad hearkened unto king Afa, and 
fent the captains of the hofts which he had againft: 
the cities of Ifrael, and fmote Ijon, and Dan, and 
Abelbethmaachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the 
land of NaphtalL 

21 And it came to pafs, when Baafha heard thereof 
that he left oif building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah. 

22 Then king Afa made a proclamation through- 
out all Judah, (none was t exempted ;) and they took 
away the ftones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, 
wherewith Baafha had builded ; and king Afa built 
with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah. 

23 If The reft of all the ads of Afa, and all his 
might, and all that he did, and the cities which he 
built, are they not written in the book of the Chron-

24 And Afa flept with his fathers, and was buried 
with his fathers in the city of David his father : and

Judah, and reigned over Ifrael two years. 

26 And he did evil in the fight of the Lord, and 
walked in the way of his father, and in his fin where-

(for Nadab and all Ifrael laid fiege to Gibbethon ;) 

28 Even in the third year of Afa king of Judah,. 
did Baafha flay him, and reigned in hisflead.. 

29 And it came to pafs, when he reigned, that he

34 And he did evil in the fight of the Lord, and 
walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his iin where- 
with he made Ifrael to fin. 

CHAP. XVI. 
1 Jehu's prophecy against the house of Baasha : 5 
Baas ha dieth, and Elah succeedeth him. 8 Zimri 
slayeth Elah, and succeedeth him .-11 he executeth 
Jehu's prophecy against Baasha? s house. 15 Omri 
made king by the army, forceth Zimri in despair 
to burn himself. 21 The kingdom being divided, 
Omri prevaileth against Tibni. 23 Omri buildeth 
Samaria ; 25 his wicked reign : 27 he dieth ; and is 
succeeded by Ahab. 29 Aihab's excessive wickedness, 
34 Joshua's curse fidfillcd upon Hiel the builder of 
Jericho. 

THEN the word of the Lord eame to Jehu the 
fon of Hanani, againft Baafha, faying, 

2 Forafmuch as I exalted thee out of the dull, and 
made thee prince over my people Ifrael, and thou haft 
walked in the way of Jeroboam, and haft made my peo- 
ple Ifrael to fin, to provoke me to anger with their fins ; 

3 Behold, I will take away the pofterity of Baafha, 
and the pofterity of his houfe ; and will make thy 
houfe like a the houfe of Jeroboam the fon ofNebat. 

4 b Him that dieth of Baafha in the city fhall the 
dogs eat ; and him that dieth of his in the fields fhall 
the fowls of the air eat. 

5 "If Now the reft of the acts of Baafha, and what he 
did, and his might, are they not written in the book 
of the Chronicles of the kings of Ifrael ? 

6 So Baafha flept with his fathers, and was buried 
in Tirzah : and Elah his Ion reigned in his ftead. 

7 And alfo by the hand of the prophet Jehu, the 
fon of Hanani, came the word of the Lord againft 
Baalha, and againft his houfe, even for all the evil 
that he did in the fight of the Lord, in provoking him 
to anger with the work of his hands, in being like 
the houfe of Jeroboam, and becaufe he killed him. 

8 If In the twenty and fixth year of Afa king of 
Judah began Elah the fon of Baafha to reign over 
Ifrael in Tirzah two years. 

9 And his fervant Zimri(captain of half his chariots) 
confpired againft him as he was in Tirzah, drinking 

1^** himfelf drunk in the houfe of Arza f fteward of his 
houfe in Tirzah. 

_ 10 And Zimri went in and fmote him, and killed 
him, in the twenty and feventh year of Afa king of t 
Judah, and reigned in his ftead. 

11 If And it came to pais, when he began to reign, 
as ibonas he fat on his throne, that he flew all the houfe 
of Baafha_ : he left him not one that piffeth againft a 
wall, ^neither of his kinsfolks, nor of his friends. 

12 Thus did Zimri deftroy all the houfe of Baafha, 
according to the word of the Lord, which he (pake 
againft Baafha f by Jehu the prophet. 

13 For all the fins of Baafha, and the fins of Elah 
his fon, by which they finned, and by which they made 
Ifrael to fin, in provoking the Lord God of Ifrael to 
anger with their vanities. . .

14 Now the reft of the acls of Elah, and all that 
he did, are they not written in the book of the Chron- 
icles of the kings of Ifrael ? 

15 IT In the twenty and feventh year of Afa, king of 
Judah did Zimri reign feven days in Tirzah : and 
the people were encamped againft Gibbethon, which 
belonged to the Philiftines. 

16 And the people that were encamped heard fay, 
Zimri hath confpired, and hath alfo ftain the king : 
wherefore all Ifrael made Omri, the captain of the hoft, 
king over Ifrael that day in the camp. 

17 And Omri went up from Gibbethon, and alLIf- 
rael with him, and they befieged Tirzah. 

m 18 And it came to pais, when Zimri faw that the 
city was taken, that he went into the palace of the 
king's houfe, and burnt the king's horde over him 
with fire, and died. 

19 For his fins which he finned in doing evil in the 
fight of the Lord, in' walking in the way of Jeroboam, 
and in his fin which he did, to make Ifrael to fin. 

20 Now the reft of the acts of Zimri, and his trea- 
fon that he wrought, are they not written in the book 
of the Chronicles of the kings of Ifrael ? 

21 If Then were the people of Ifrael divided into 
two parts : half of the people followed Tibni the fon. 
of Ginath, to make him king, and half followed Omri. 

22 But the people that followed Omri prevailed 
againft the people that followed Tibni the fon of Gi- 
nath : fo Tibni died, and Omri reigned. 

23 If In the thirty and firft year of Afa king of Judah 
began Omri to reign over Ifrael twelve years : fix 
years reigned he in Tirzah. 

24 And he bought the hill Samaria of Sliemer for 
two talents of filver, and built on the hill, and called 
the name of the city which he built, after the name 
of Shemer, owner of the hill, f Samaria. 

25 If But Omri wrought evil in the eyes of the 
Lord, and did worfethan all that were before him. 

26 For he walked in all the way of Jeroboam the 
fon ofNebat, and in his fin wherewith he made Ifrael 
to fin, to provoke the Lord God of Ifrael to anger 
with their vanities. 

27 If Now the reft of the a£ts of Omri which he did, 
and his might that he fhewed, are they not written in 
the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Ifrael? 

28 So Omri flept with his fathers, and was buried 
in Samaria : and Ahab his fon reigned in his ftead. 

29 If And in the thirty and eighth year of Afa king 
of Judah began Ahab the fon of Omri to reign over 
Ifrael ; and Ahab the fon of Omri reigned over Ifrael ■ 
in Samaria twenty and two j 7 ears. 

30 And Ahab the fon of Omri did evil in the fight 
of the Lord above all that werc^ before him. 

31 And it came to pais, t as if it had been a light t m&.*u 
thing for him to walk in the fins of Jeroboam the fon t/&&&c. 
of Nebat, that he took to wife Jezebei the daughter 
ofEthbaal king of the Zidonians, and went andferv- 

ed Baal, and worfhipped him. 

32 And he reared up an altar for Baal in the houfe 
of Baal, which he had built in Samaria. 

53 And Ahab made a grove ; and Ahab did more 
to provoke the Lord God of Ifrael to anger than all 
the kings of Ifrael that were before him. 

34 ff In his days did Hid the Bethelite build Jer- 
icho : he laid the foundation thereof in Abiram his

1 Elijah, having prophesied against Abab, is sent to 
Cherith, where the ravens feed him : 8 he is after- 
ward sent to a widow of Zarephath .-17 the widow' 's 
son dieth, and is restored to life by Elijah's prayer, 
the woman believeth, &c. 

AN D | Elijah the Tifhbite, who was of the inhab- 
itants of Gilead, faid unto Ahab, a As the Lord 
God of Ifrael liveth, before whom I ftand, there fhall 
not be dew nor rain thefe years, but according to ray 
word. 

2 And the word of the Lord came unto him, faying, 

3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eaftward, and hide 
thyfelf by the brook Cherith, that w before Jordan. 

4 And it fhall be, that thou fhalt drink of the brook ; 
and I have commanded the ravens to feed thee there. 

5 So he went, and did according unto the word of 
the Lord : for he went and dwelt by the brook Che- 
rith, that is before Jordan. 

6 And the ravens brought him bread and flefh in 
the morning, and bread andfiefh in the evening ; and 
he drank of the brook. 

7 And it came to pafs f after a while that the brook 
dried up, becaufe there had been no rain in the land. 

8 % And the word of the L o r d came unto him , faying , 

9 Arife, get thee to b Zarephath, which belongeth to 
Zidon, and dwell there ; behold, I have commanded 
a widow woman there to fuftain thee. 

10 So he arofe, and went to Zarephath : and when 
he came to the gate of the city, beholft, the widow wo- 
man was there gathering of fticks : and he called to 
her, and faid, Fetch me, I pray thee, a little water in 
a veffel, that I may drink. 

1 1 And as Hie was going to fetch it, he called to her, 
and faid, Bring me, I pray thee, a morfel of bread in 
thine hand. 

12 And flie faid, As the Lord thy God liveth, I 
have not a cake, but an handful of meal in a barrel, 
and a little oil in a cruife : and, behold, I am gather- 
ing two Iticks, that I may go in and chefs it for me 
and my fon, that we may eat it and die. 

13 And Elijah faid unto her, Fear not ; go and do 
as thou haft faid : but make me thereof a little cake 
firft, and bring it unto me, and after make for thee 
and for thy fon : 

14 For thus faith the Lord God of Ifrael, The bar- 
rel of meal lhall not walte, neither fhall the cruife of 
oil fail, until the day that the Lord f ftndeth rain 
upon the earth. 

15 And Ihe went, and did according to the faying 
of Elijah : and flie, and he, and her houfe, did eat 
H many days. 

16 And the barrel of meal wafted not, neither did 
the cruife of oil fail, according to the word of the 
Lord, which he fpake f by Elijah. 

17 If And it came to pafs, after thefe things, that 
the fon of the woman, the miftrefs of the houfe, fell 
lick ; and his lickneis was fo fore that there was no 
breath left in him. 

18 And (lie faid unto Elijah, What have I to do with 
thee, O thou man of God ? art thou come unto me 
to call my lin to remembrance, and to flay my Ion ? 

19 And he faid unto* her, Give me thy fon. And he

took him out of her bofom, and earned him up into 
a loft where he abode, and laid him upon his own bed. 
20 And he cried unto the Lord, and faid, O Lord 
my God, haft thou alio brought evil upon the widow 
with whom I fojourn, by flaying her fon ? 
: 21 And he t ftretched himfelf upon the child three 
times, and cried unto the Lord, and faid, O Lord 
my God, I pray thee, let this child's foul come f into 
him again. 

22 And the Lord heard the voice of Elijah : and the 
foul of the child came into him again, and he revived. 

23 And Elijah took the child, and brought him 
down out of the chamber into the houfe, and deliver- 
ed him unto his mother : and Elijah faid, See, thy fon 
liveth ! 

24 And the woman faid to Elijah, Now by this I 
know that thou art a man of God, and that the word 
of the Lord in thy mouth is truth. 

CHAP. XVIII. 

1 In the extremity of the famine Elijah is sent to meet 
Ahab. 7 Elijah meeteth Obadiah ; who bringeth 
Ahab to Elijah. 18 Elijah having rep-roved Ahab, 
by fire from heaven, convincetb the people : be slay - 
eth BaaPs prophets. 41 Elijah giveth Ahab notice 
of rain which he obtaineth by prayer, fc?c 

AND it came to pafs, after many days, that the 
word of the Lord came to Elijah in the third 
year, faying, Go, fhew thyfelf unto Ahab ; and I will 
fend rain upon the earth. 

2 And Elijah went to fhew' himfelf unto Ahab : and 
there was a fore famine in Samaria. 

3 If And Ahab called t Obadiah, which was f the 
governor of his houfe : (nowObadiah feared the Lord 
greatly ; 

4 For it was so, when f Jezebel cut off the prophets tHeb. 
of the Lord, that Obadiah took an hundred pro- *** 
phets and hid them by fifty in a cave, and fed them 
with bread and water : ) 

5 And Ahab faid unto Obadiah, Go into the land 
unto all fountains of water, and unto all brooks ; perad- 
venture we may find grafs to lave the horfes and mules 

alive, t that we lofe not all the beads. tHei.. that 

6 So they divided the land between them, to pafs ^™lZ' cS 
throughout it ; Ahab went one way by himfelf, and £* m t f 
Obadiah went another way by himfelf. 

7 U And as Obadiah was in the way, behold, Eli- 
jah met him : and he knew him, and fell on his face, 
and faid, Art thou that my lord Elijah. 

8 And he anfwered him, I am : go, tell thy lord, 
Behold, Elijah is here. 

9 And he faid, What havel fmned,that thou wouldeft 
deliver thy fervant into the hand of Ahab, to flay me. 

10 As the Lord thy God liveth, there is no nation 
or kingdom whither my lord hath notfent to feek thee ; 
and when they faid, He is not there, he took an oath 
of the kingdom and nation, that they found thee not. 

11 And now thou fayeft, Go, tell thy lord, Behold, 
Elijah is here, 

12 And it fhall come to pafs, as soon as I am gone 
from thee, that the fpirit of the Lord fhall carry thee 
whither I know not : and so, when I come and tell 
Ahab, and he cannot find thee, he lhall flay me : but 
I thy fervant fear the Lord from my youth. 

13 Was it not told my lord what I did, when Jeze- 
belflew the prophets of the Lord, how I hid an hun- 
dred.

14 And now thou fayeft, Go, tell thy lord, Behold,

15 And Elijah faid, As the Lord of hofts liveth, 
before whom I Hand, I will furely ihew myfelf unto 
him today. 

16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab, and told him ; 
and Ahab went to meet Elijah. 

17 And it came to pals, when Ahab faw Elijah, 
that Ahab faid unto him, Art thou he that troubleth 
Ifrael? 

18 *fr And he anfwered, I have not troubled Ifrael ; 
but thou and thy lather's houfe, in that ye have for- 
faken the commandments of the Lord, and thou haft 
followed Baalim, 

19 Now, therefore, fend, and gather to me all Ifrael 
unto mount 'Carmel, and the prophets of Baal four 
hundred and fifty, and the prophets of the groves four 
hundred, which eat at Jezebel's table. 

20 So Ahab lent unto all the children of Ifrael, and 
gathered the prophets together unto mount Carmel. 

21 IF And Elijah came unto all the people, and faid, 
bmghtu How long halt ye between two || opinions ? if the 

Lord be God, follow him : but if Baal, then follow 
him. And the people anfwered him not a word. 

22 Then faid Elijah unto the people, I, even I only, 
remain a prophet of the Lord ; but Baal's prophets 
are four hundred and fifty men. 

23 Let them, therefore, give us two bullocks ; and 
let them choofe one bullock for themfelves, and cut 
it in pieces, and lay it on wood, and put no, fire under ; 
and I will drefs the other bullock, and lay it on wood, 
and put no fire under : 

24 And call ye on the name of your gods, and I will 
call on the name of the Lord ; and the God that an- 
fwereth by fire, let him be God. And all the people 

THeb.r/i* anfwered and faid, f It is well fpoken.

Choofe ye one bullock for yourfelves, and drefs it 

firft ; for ye are many : and call on the name of your 

gods, but put no fire under. 
26 And they took the bullock which was given them, 

and they dreffed it, and called on the name of Baal 
E° r '««™"--from morning even until noon, faying, O Baal, || hear

upon them. 29 And it came to pafs, when midday was paft, and 
tHeb. ^ they prophefied until the time of the f offering of the 
«scen ing. cmnm g facrifice, that there was neither voice, nor any 
£.£*• f tten - to anfwer, nor any f that regarded. 

30 If And Elijah faid unto all the people, Come near 
unto me. And all the people came near unto him. 
And he repaired the altar of the Lord that was broken 
down. 

31 And Elijah took twelve ftones, according to 
the number of the tribes of the fons of Jacob, unto 

preen. 32 whom the word of the Lord came, faying, a Ifrael 
g^ziop {hall be thy name ; 



I. RINGS, He is threatened by Jezebel. 

32 And with the ftones he built an altar in the name 



-uvnf» 



of the Lord : and he made a trench about the altar, 
as great as would contain twomealures of feed. 

33 And he put the wood in order, and cut the bul- 
lock in pieces, and laid him on the wood ; and laic!, 
Fill four barrels with water, and pour it on the burnt 
facrifice, and on the wood, 

34 And he faid, Do it the fecond time. And they 
did it the fecond time : And he faid, Do it the third 
time. And they did it the third time. . 

35 And the water f ran round about the altar ; and 
he filled the trench alio with water. 

36 And it came to pafs, at the time of the offering 
of the evening facrifice, that Elijah the prophet came 
near, and faid, Lord God of Abraham, Ifaac, and of 
Ifrael, let it be known this day that thou art God in 
Ifrael, and that I am thy fervant, and that I have done 
all thefe things at thy word. 

37 Hear me, Q Lord, hear me; that this people 
may know that thou art the Lord God, and thai 
thou haft turned their heart back again, 

3 8 Then the Jire of the L o r d fell . and cenfumed the 
burnt facrifice, and the wood, antl the ftones, and the 
dull, and licked up the water that was in the trench.. 

39 And when all the people faw it, they fell on 
their -faces ; and they faid, The Lord, he is the God ; 
the Lord, he is the God. 

40 And Elijah faid unto them, || Take the prophets Hor,^» 
of Baal, let not one of them efcape. And they took heni ' 
them : and Elijah brought them down to the brook 
Kifhon, and flew them there. 

41 If And Elijah faid unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat 
and drink ; for were is 1] a found of abundance of rain. 

42 So Ahab went up to eat and to drink. And Eli- 
jah went up to the top of Carmel ; and he call himfelf 
down upon the earth, andputhis face between his knees, 

43 And faid to his fervant, Go up now, look to- 
ward the fea. # And he went up, and looked, and faid, 
There is nothing. And he laid, go again feven times. 

44 And it came to pafs, at the feventli time, that he 
faid, Behold, there arifeth a little cloud out of the fea, 
like a man's hand. And he faid, Go up, fay unto 
Ahab, t Prepare thy chariot, and get thee down, that 
the rain flop thee not* 

45 And it came to pafs, in the mean while, that the 
heaven was black with clouds and wind, and there was 
a great rain. And Ahab rode, and went to Jezreel. 

46 And the hand of the Lord was on Elijah ; and 
he girded up his loins, and ran before Ahab f to the 
entrance of Jezreel.

his life, and came to Beerfheba, which belongeth to 
Judah, and left his fervant there. 

4 HBut he himfelfwent a day's journey into the 
wildemefs, and came and fat down under a juniper 
tree : and he requefled f for himfelf that he might 
die ; and faid, It is enough ; now, O Lord, take 
away my life ; for I am not better than my fathers. 

5 And as he lay and flept under a juniper tree, be- 
hold, then an angel toucheddiim, and laid unto him, 
Arife and eat. 

6 And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake 
baken on the coals and a cruife of water at his f head : 
and he did eat and drink, and laid him dawn again. 

7 And the angel of the Lord came again the fec- 
ond time, and touched him, and faid, Arife a?ideat ; 
becaufe the journey is too great for thee. 

8 And he arofe, and did eat and drink, and went 
in the llrength of that meat forty days and forty nights, 
unto Horeb the mount of God. 

9 If And he came thither unto a cave, and lodged 
there ; and, behold, the word of the Lord came to him, 
and he faid unto him, What doeft thou here, Elijah ? 

10 And he faid, I have been very jealous for the 
Lord God of hofls : for the children of Ifrael have 
forfaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and 
flain thy prophets with the fword ; and a I, even I only, 
am left, and they feek my life to take it away. 

1 1 And he faid, Go forth, and fland upon the mount 
beforethe Lord. And, behold, the Lord paffed by, 
and a great and ftrong wind rent the mountains, and 
brake in pieces the rocks, before the Lord ; but the 
Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an 
earthquake ; but the Lord was not^n the earthquake : 

12 And after the earthquake a fire ; but the Lord 
ivas not in the fire : and after the fire a flill fmall voice. 

13 And it was so, when Elijah heard it, that he 
wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and 
flood in the entering in of the cave : and, behold, 
there came a voice unto him, and faid, What doeft 
thou here, Elijah ? 

14 And he faid, I have been very jealous for the 
Lord God of holts : becaufe the children of Ifrael 
have forfaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, 
and flain thy prophets with the l'word ; and I, even I 
only, am left, and they feek my life, to take it away. 

15 And the Lord faid unto him. Go, return on 
thy way to the wildernefs of Damalcus : and, when 
thou comeft, anoint Hazael to be king over Syria ; 

16 b And Jehu the fon of Nimfhi lhalt thou anoint 
to be king over Ifrael ; c and Elilha the fon of Shaphat 
of Abelmeholah fhalt thou anoint to be prophet in thy 
room. 

17 And it (hall come to pafs, that him that efcapcth 
the fword of Hazael, fhall Jehu ilay ; and him that 
efcapeth from the fword of Jehu, fhall Elilha Hay. 

18 d Yet || I have left me feven thouiand in Ifrael, all 
the knees which have not bowed unto Baal, and every 
mouth which hath not killed him. 

19 H So he departed thence, and found Elifha the 
fon of Shaphat, who was ploughing with twelve yoke 
of oxen before him, and he with the twelfth : and Eli- 
jah paffed by him, and caft his mantle upon him. 

20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and 
laid, Let me, I pray thee, kifs my father and my moth- 
er, and then I will follow thee. And he laid unto him, 
t Go back again : for what have I done to thee ? 

2K

1 Benhadad, not content with Abab's homage, besieg- 
eth Samaria. 13 By the direction of a prophet, we 
Syrians are smitten. 22 As the prophet forewarned 
Ahab, the Syrians next year come against him in 
Aphek. 28 By the word of a prophet and God's 
judgment, the Syrians are again defeated with a 
great slaughter. 3 1 The Syrians submitting them- 
selves, Ahab sendeth Benhadad away with a cove- 
nant of peace. 35 A prophet, under a parable, 
having brought Ahab to condemn himself, denounceth 
God's judgment against him. 

AN D Benhadad the king of Syria gathered all his 
hoft together, and there were thirty and two 
kings with him, and horfes and chariots ; and he went 
up and beiieged Samaria, and warred againft it. 

2 And he fent meflengers to Ahab king of Ifrael, in- 
to the city, and faid unto him, Thus faith Benhadad, 

3 Thy filver and thy gold is mine ; thy wives alfo 
and thy children, even the goodlieft, are mine. 

4 And the king of Ifrael anfwered and faid, My 
lord, O king, according to thy faying, I am thine, and 
all that I have. 

5 And the meflengers came again, and faid, Thus 
fpeaketh Benhadad, laying, Although I have fent unto 
thee, faying, Thou lhalt deliver me thy lilver and thy 
gold, and thy wives, and thy children ; 

6 Yet I will fend my fervants unto thee tomorrow 
about this time, and they fhall fearch thine houfe, and 
the houfes of thy fervants ; and it fhall be, that what- 
soever is f pleafant in thine eyes, they fhall put it in 
their hand, and take it away. 

7 Then the king of Ifrael called all the elders of the 
land, and faid, Mark, I pray you, and fee how this 
man feeketh mifchief ; for he fent unto me for my 
wives and for my children, and for my lilver, and for 
my gold, and f I denied him not. 

8 And all the elders, and all the people faid unto 
him» Hearken not unto him, nor content. 

9 Wherefore he laid unto the meflengers of Ben- 
hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didft fend 
for to thy fervant at the firft, I will do ; but this thing 
I may not do. And the meflengers departed, and 
brought him word again. 

10 And Benhadad fent unto him, and faid, The gods 
do fo unto me, andmore alfo, if the dull of Samaria lhall 
fuince forhandfuls for all the people that t follow me. 

11 And the king of Ifrael anfwered and faid, Tell 
him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boaft 
himfelf, as he that putteth it off. 

12 And it came to pafs, when Benhadad heard this 
t meffage (as he was drinking, he and the kings, in 
the || pavilions,) that he faid unto his fervants, || Set 
yourselves in array : and they fet themselves in array 
againft the city. 

13 H And, behold, there tcame a prophet unto 
Ahab king of Ifrael, faying, Thus faith the Lord, 
Haft thou feen all this great multitude ? behold, I will 
deliver it into thine hand this day ; and thou fhalt 
know that I am the Lord. 

14 And Ahab faid, By whom ? And he Hud, Thus

faith the Lord, Even by die || young men of the 
princes of the provinces. Then he faid, Who lhall 
t order the battle ? And he anfwered, Thou. 

15 Then he numbered the young men of the princes 
of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thir- 
ty two : and after them he numbered all the people, 
even all the children of Ifrael, being feven thoufand. 

16 And they went out at noon :. but Benhadad was 
drinking himfelf drunk in the pavilions, he and the 
kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him. 

17 And the young men of the princes of the prov- 
inces went out firft : and Benhadad fent out,, and they 
told him, faying, There are men come out of Samaria. 

18 And he faid,. Whether they be come out for 
peace, take them alive ; or whether they be come out 
for war, take them alive. 

19 So thefe young men of the princes of the prov- 
inces came out of the city, and the army which fol- 
lowed them. 

20 And they flew every one his man ;. and the Syri- 
ans fled, and Ifrael purfued them : and Benhadad the 
king of Syria efcaped on an horfe with the horfemen. 

21 And the king of Ifrael went out and fmote the 
horfes and chariots, and flew the Syrians with a great 
Daughter. 

22 11 And the prophet came to the king of Ifrael, 
and faid unto him, Go, ftrengthen thyfelf, and mark, 
and fee what thou doeft : for at the return of the year 
the king of Syria will come up againft. thee. 

23 And the fervants of the king of Syria faid unto 
him, Their gods ore 1 gods of the hills, therefore they 
were ftronger than we :. but let us fight againft them 
in the plain, and furely we lhall be ftronger than they. 

24 And do this thing, Take the kings away, every 
man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms ; 

25 And number thee an army like the army f that 
thou haft loft, horfe for horfe,. and chariot for chariot ; 
and w r e will fight againft. them in the plain, a?id furely 
we lhall be ftronger than they. And he hearkened 
unto their voice, and didfo.. 

26 And it came to pafs, at the return of the year, 
that Benhadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to 
Aphek, t to fight againft JfraeL 

27 And the children of Ifrael were numbered,, and 
I! were ail prefent, and went againft them : and the 
children of Ifrael pitched before them like two little 
nocks of kids ; but the Syrians filled the country. 

28 If And there came a man of God, and fpake un- 
to the king of Ifrael, and faid, Thus faith the Lord, 
Becaufe the Syrians have faid, The Lord is God of 
the hiils, but he is not God of the vallies ; therefore 
will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, 
and ye lhall know that I am- the Lord. 

29 And they pitched one over againft the other feven 
days; _and so it was, that in the leventh day the battle 
was joined \ and the children of Ifrael flew of the 
Syrians an hundred thoufand footmen in- one day.. 

30 But the reft lied to Aphek, into the city ; and 
there a wall fell upon twenty and feven thoufand of 
the men that were left. And Benhadad Sed, and 
came into the city, || f into an inner chamber. 

31 U And his fervants faid unto him. Behold now, 
we have heard that the kings of the hou'fe of Ifrael are 
merciful kings : let us, we pray thee, putfackcloth on 
our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and.gooutto

faid, Thy fervant Benhadad faith, I pray thee, let me

33 Now the men did diligently obferve whether any 
thing 'would come from him, and did haftily catch it: 
and they faid, Thy brother Benhadad. Then he faid, 
Go ye, bring him. Then Benhadad came forth to 
him ; and he caufed him to come up into the chariot. 

34 And Benhadad faid unto him,, The cities which 
my father took from thy father, I will reftore ; and 
thou (halt make ftreets for thee in Damafcus as my 
father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will fend 
thee away with this covenant. So he made a cove- 
nant with him. and fent him away- 

35 IT And a certain man of the fons of the prophets 
faid untohis neighbour in the word of the Lord, Smite 
me, I pray thee. And the man refufed to fmite him. 

36 Then faid he unto him, Becaufe thou haft not 
obeyed the voice of the Lord, Behold, as foon as 
thou art departed from me, a lion ihall flay thee. And 
as foon as he was departed from him, a lion found him , 
and flew him. 

57 Then he found another man, and faid, Smite 
me, I pray thee. And the man fmote him, f fo that 
in linking he wounded him. 

38 So the prophet departed, and waited for the 
king by the way, and difguifed himfelf with allies 
upon his face. 

39 And as the king paffed by, he cried unto the 
king ; and he faid, Thy fervant went out into the 
midft of the battle ; and behold, a man turned afide, 
and brought a man unto me, and faid, Keep this man : 
if by any means he be miffing, then lhall thy life be 
for his life, or elfe thou lhalt f pay a talent of lilver. 

40 And as thy fervant was bufy here and there, f he 
was gone. And the king of Ifrael faid unto him, So 
shall thy judgment be ;■ thyfelf haft decided it. 

41 And he hailed and took the afh.es away from his 
face ; and the king of Ifrael difcerned him that, he was 
of the prophets. 

42 And he laid unto him, Thus faith the Lord, be- 
caufe thou haft let go out of thy hand a man whom I 
appointed to utter deftru6lion, therefore thy life lhall 
go for his life,, and thy people for his people- 

43 And the king of Ifrael went to his houfe heavy 
and difpleafed, and came to Samaria. 

CHAP. XXI. 

1 Ahab is sore distressed at being refused Naboth'' s vine- 
yard. 5 J ezebel comforteth him, and by lettersprocur- 
cth Naboth to be stoned: 15 She sendeth Ahab to take 
possession of the vineyard. 1 7 Elijah denouncethjudg' 
ments against Ahab and Jezebel, 27 Ahab repent- 
ing, GoddeferretJj the punishment to bis son's days. 

AND it came to pafs, after thefe things , that Naboth 8s " ; 
the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which wasya. Jez-

2 And Ahab ipake unto Naboth, faying, Give me

becaufe it is near unto my houfe ;: and I will give thee 

for it a better vineyard than it ; or, if it t feem good +He b,

3 And Naboth faid to Ahab, The Lord forbid it

reelite had fpoken to him ; for he had faid, I will not 
give thee the inheritance of my fathers : and he laid 
him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, 
and would eat no bread. 

5 II But Jezebel his wife came to him, and faid unto 
him, Why is thy fpirit fo fad, that thou eateil no bread ? 

6 And he faid unto her, Became I fpake unto Na- 
both the Jezreelite, and faid unto him, Give me thy 
vineyard for money \ or elfe, if it pleafe thee, I will 
give thee another vineyard for it ; and he anfwered, I 
will not give thee my vineyard. 

7 And Jezebel his wife faid unto him, Doll thou 
now govern the kingdom of Ifrael ? arife, and eat 
bread, and let thine heart be merry : I will give thee 
the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite. 

8 So fhe wrote letters in Ahab'sname, and fealed them 
with his leal, andfentthe letters unto the elders, and to 
the nobles, that werein his city dwelling with Naboth. 

9 And lhe wrote in the letters, faying, Proclaim a 
faft, and fet Naboth f on high among the people : 

10 And fet two men, fons of Belial, before him, to 
bear witnefs againft him, faying, Thou didft blafpheme 
God and the king ; and then carry him out, and ftone 
him, that he may die. 

11 And the men of his city, evett the elders and the 
nobles, who were the inhabitants in his city, did as 
Jezebel had fent unto them, and as it was written in 
the letters which fhe had fent unto them ; 

12 They proclaimed a faft, and fet Naboth on high 
among the people. 

13 And there came in two men, children of Belial, 
and fat before him : and the men of Belial witneffed 
againft him, even againft Naboth, in the prelence of 
the people, faying, Naboth did blafpheme God and the 
king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, 
and ftoned him with ftones that he died. 

14 Then they fent to Jezebel, faying, Naboth is 
ftoned, and is dead. 

15 If And it came to pafs, when Jezebel heard that 
Naboth was ftoned, and was dead, that Jezebel faid 
to Ahab, Arife, take poffeifion of the vineyard of Na- 
both the Jezreelite, which he refufed to give thee for 
money : for Naboth is not alive, but dead. 

16 And it came to pafs , when Ahab heard that Naboth 
was dead, that Ahab rofe up to go down to the vine- 
yard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take poffeffion of it. 

17 If And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the 
Tiihbite, faying,

27 If And it came to pafs, when Ahab heard thofe 
words, that he rent his clothes, and put fackcloth upon

28 And the word of the Lord came to Elijah the

1 Ahab seducedby false prophets, according to the word 

of. Micaiah, is slain at Ramothgilead : 37 the dogs 

lick up his blood ; Ahaziah succeedetb him. 41 Je-

AN D they continued three years without war be- 
tween Syria and Ifrael. 

2 And it came to pafs in the third year, that a Je- 
hofhaphat the king of Judah came down to the king 
of Ifrael. 

3 And the king of Ifrael faid unto his fervants, Know 

ye that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be t ftill, and t Heb. 
take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria ? SS$!" 

4 And he faid unto Jehofhaphat, Wilt thou go with 
me to battle to Ramothgilead ? And Jehofhaphat faid 

to the king of Ifrael, b I am as thou art, my people as b, Km gB 
thy people, my horfes as thy horfes. 

5 If And Jehofhaphat faid unto the king of Ifrael , In - 
quire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord today. 

6 Then the king of Ifrael gathered the prophets to- 
gether, about four hundred men, and faid unto them. 
Shall I go againft Ramothgilead to battle, or fhall I 
forbear ? And they faid, Go up ; for the Lord fhall 
deliver it into the hand of the king. 

7 If And Jehofhaphat laid, Is there not here a prophet 
of the Lord befide, that we might inquire of him ? 

8 And the king of Ifrael faid unto Jehofhaphat, There 
is yet one man (Micaiah the fon of Imlah) by whom 
we may inquire of the Lord : but I hate him ; for he 
doth not prophefy good concerning me, but evil, And 
Jehofhaphat faid. Let not the king fay fo. 

9 Then the king of Ifrael called an || officer, and i° r '. 
faid, Haften hither Micaiah the fon of Imlah. 

10 And the king of Ifrael, and Jehofhaphat the king 
of Judah, fat each on his throne, having put on their 

robes in a f void place in the entrance of the gate of tHebjiwK 
Samaria ; and all the prophets propheiied before them. 

11 And Zedekiah the fon of Chenaanah made him 
horns of iron ; and he faid, Thus faith the Lord, 
With thele fhalt thou pufh the Syrians, until thou 
have confumed them. 

12 And all the prophets prophefied fo, faying, Go 
up to Ramothgilead, and profper : for the Lord fhall 
deliver it into the king's hand. 

13 And 



f Or, deed vi 



Ahab is slain at Ramothgilead 

13 And the meffenger that was gone to call Mica- 
iah fpake unto him, faying, Behold now, the words 
of the prophets declare good unto the king with one 
mouth : let thy word, I pray thee, be like the word 
of one of them, and fpeak that ■which is good. 

14 And Micaiah faid, As the Lord liveth, what 
the Lord faith unto me, that will I fpeak. 

15 11 So he came to the king. And the king faid 
unto him, Micaiah, fhall we go againit Ramothgilead 
to battle, or fhall we forbear ? And he anfwered him, 
Go and profper : for the Lord fhall deliver it into the 
hand of the king. 

16 And the king faid unto him, How many times 
fhall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but that 
-which is true in the name of the Lord ? 

< 17 And he faid, I faw all Ifrael fcattered upon the 
hills, asiheep thathavenotafhepherd : and the Lord 
faid, Thefe have no mafter ; let them return every 
man to his houfe in peace. 

18 And the king of Ifrael faid unto Jehofhaphat, 
Did I not tell thee that he would prophefy no good 
concerning me, but evil ? 

19 And he faid, Hear thou, therefore, the word of 
the Lord : I faw the Lord fitting on his throne, and 
all the hoft of heaven {landing by him, on his right 
hand and on his left. 

20 And the Lord faid, Who fhall || perfuade Ahab 
that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead ? And one 
faid on this manner, and another faid on that maimer. 

21 And there came forth a fpirit, and ftood before 
the Lord, and faid, I will perfuade him. 

22 And the Lord faid unto him, Wherewith ? And 
he faid, I will go forth, and I will be a lying fpirit in the 
mouth of all his prophets. And he faid, Thou (halt 
perfuade him, and prevail alfo : go forth, and do fo. 

23 Now, therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a 
lying fpirit in the mouth of all thefe thy prophets, and 
the Lord hath fpoken evil concerning thee. 

24 But Zedekiah thefonof Chenaanah went near, and 
frnoteMicaiah on the cheek, and faid, c Which way went 
the Spirit of the Lord from me to fpeak unto thee ? 

25 And Micaiah faid, Behold, thou (halt fee in that 
day, when thou fhalt go || into f an inner chamber to 
hide thyfelf. 

26 And the king of Ifrael faid, Take Micaiah, and 
carry him back unto Anion the governor of the city, 
and to Joafh the king's fon ; 

27 And fay, Thus faith the king, Put this fello%v in 
the prifon, and feed him with bread of affliction, and 
with water of affliction, until I come in peace. 

28 And Micaiah faid, If thou return at all in peace, 
the Lor d hath not fpoken by me. And he faid, Heark- 
en, O people, every one of you. 

29 If So the king of Ifrael, and Jehofhaphat the 
king of Judah, went up to Ramothgilead. 

30 And the king of Ifrael faid unto Jehofhaphat, || I 
will difguife myfelf, and enter into the battle, but put 

into the thou on t h y ro bes. And the king of Ifrael difguifed 
himfelf, and went into the battle. 

31 If But the king of Syria commanded his thirty 
and two captains, that had rule over his chariots, fay- 
ing, Fight neither with fmall nor great, fave only with 
the king of Ifrael. 

32 And it came to pafs, when the captains of the 
chariots faw Jehofhaphat, that they faid, Surely it is 
the king of Ifrael. And they turned afide to fight 
againft him ; and Jehofhaphat cried out.

that they turned back from purfuing him. 

34 If And a certain man drew a bow f at a venture, 
and fmote the king of Ifrael between the f joints of "it*? 1 "

35 And the battle f increafed that day : and the tHeb. 
king was flayed up in his chariot againft the Syrians, aicendcdt 
and died at even : and the blood ran out of the wound 

into the midft of the chariot. iHehr 

36 And there went a proclamation - throughout the bo " m - 
hofl, about the going down of the fun, faying, Every 
man to his city, and every man to his own country. 

37 If So the king died, and f was brought to Sama- 
ria, and they buried the king in Samaria. 

38 And one wafhed the chariot in the pool of Sama- 
ria ; and the dogs licked up his blood, (and they wafh- 
ed his armour,) according d unto the word of the Lord 
which he fpake. 

39 If Now the reft of the acls of Ahab, and all that 
he did, and the ivory houfe which he made, and all 
the cities that he built, are they not written in the 
book of the Chronicles of the kings of Ifrael ? 

m 40 So Ahab jflept with his fathers ; and Ahaziah 
his fon reigned in his flead. 

41 If And e Jehofhaphat the fon of Afa began to reign 
over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of Ifrael. 

42 Jehofhaphat was thirty and five years old when "Q» 
be began to reign ; and he reigned twenty and five 20 3l * 
years in Jeryfalem ; and his mother's name was Azu- 

bah, the daughter of Shilhi. 

43 And he walked in all the ways of Afa his father ; 
he turned not afide from it, doing that which was right 
in the eyes of the Lord : neverthelefs, the high places 
were not taken away ; for the people offered a burnt 
incenfe yet in the high places. 

44 And Jehofhaphat made peace with the king of 
Ifrael. 

45 Now the reft of the acls of Jehofhaphat, and 
his might that he fhewed, and how he warred, are 
they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the 
kings of Judah ? 

46 And the remnant of the Sodomites, which remain- 
ed in the days of his father Afa, he took out of the land. 

47 There was then no king in Edom : a deputy 
was king. 

48 Jehofhaphat || made fhips of Tharfhifh to go to 
Ophir for gold : but they went not ; for the fhips 
were broken at Eziongeber. 

49 Then faid Ahaziah the fon of Ahab unto Jeho- 
fhaphat, Let my fervants go with thy fervants in the

CHAP. I. 

Ahaziah sending to Baalzebub hath his sentence of 
death from the Lord by Elijah. 5 Elijah twice 
bringeth fire from heaven upon them whom Ahaziah 
sent to apprehend him : 13 he is moved by the third 
captain's suit, &c. 

THEN Moab rebelled againft Ifrael, a after the 
death of Ahab. 

2 And Ahaziah fell down through a latice in his 
upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was lick : 
and he fent meffengers, and faid unto them, Go, in- 
quire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, whether I ihall 
recover of this dileafe. 

3 But the angel of the Lord faid to Elijah the 
Tilhbite, Arife, go up to meet the meffengers of the 
king of Samaria, and fay unto them, Is it not becaufe 
there is not a God in Ifrael, that ye go to inquire of 
Baalzebub the God of Ekron I 

4 Now, therefore, thus faith the Lord, f Thou 
F°"j;Es< fhalt not come down from that bed on which thou art 
£?f«»i"J<£n gone up, but fhalt furely die. And Elijah departed. 

5 If And when the meffengers turned back unto 
him, he faid unto them, Why are ye now turned back ? 

6 And they faid unto him, There came a man up to 
meet us, and faid unto us, Go, turn again unto the 
king that fent you, and fay unto him. Thus faith the 
Lord, Is it not becaufe there is not a God in Ifrael, 
that thou fendeft to inquire of Baalzebub the god of 
Ekron ? therefore thou fhalt not come down from that 
bed on which thou art gone up, but fhalt furely die. 

7 And he faid unto them, t What manner of man 
ivas he which came up to meet you, and told you 
thefe words ? 

8 And they anfwered him, He ivas an hairy man, 
and girt with a girdle of leather about his loins. And 
he faid, It is Elijah the Tifhbite. 

9 Then the king fent unto him a captain of fifty, 
with his fifty r and he went up to him ; (and, behold, 
he fat on the top of an hill;) and he fpake unto 
him, Thou man of God r the king hath faid, Come 
down. 

10 And Elijah anfwered and faid to the captain of 
fifty, If I be a man of God, then let fire come down 
from heaven, and confume thee and thy fifty. And 
there came down fire from heaven, and confumed 
him and his fifty. 

11 Again alfohe fent unto him another captain of 
fifty with his fifty : and he anfwered^ and faid unto 
him, O man of God, thus hath the king faid, Come 
down quickly. 

12 And Elijah anfwered and faid unto him, If I be 
a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and 
confume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God 
came down from heaven, and confumed him and his 
fifty. 

13 If And he fent again a captain of the third fifty 
with his fifty : and the third captain of fifty went up, 
and came and f fell on his knees before Elijah, and 
befought him, and faid unto him, O man of God. I 
pray thee, let my life, and the life of thefe fifty thy 
fervants, be precious in thy fight.

with their fifties : therefore let my life now be prec-

15 And the angel of the Lord faid unto Elijah, 
Go down with him : be not afraid of him. And he 
arofe, and went down with him unto the king. 

16 And he faid unto him, Thus faith the Lord, 
Forafmuch as thou haft fent meffengers to inquire 
of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not becaufe 
there is no God in Ifrael to inquire of his word ? ) 
therefore thou fhalt not come down off that bed on 
which thou art gone up, but ihalt furely die. 

17 If So he died, according to the word of the Lo r d 
which Elijah had fpoken ; and || Jehoram reigned in 
his ftead, in the fecond year of Jehoram the fon of ™« 
Jehofhaphat king of Judah ; becaufe he had no fon. iteS^ 

18 Now the reft of the a6ts of Ahaziah which he 
did, are they not written in the book of the Chroni- 
cles of the kings of Ifrael ? 

CHAP. II. 

1 Elijah in vain persuadeth Elisha to leave him, with 
his mantle divideth Jordan. 9 Elijah conditionally 
granting Elisha his request, is taken up by a fiery 
chariot into heaven. 12 Elisha, dividing Jordan 
with Elijah's mantle, is acknowledged his successor. 
16 The young prophets with difficulty obtain leave of 
him to seek Elijah. 19 Elisha with sail healeth the 
unwholesome waters. 23 Two she bears destroy the 
children that mocked him. 

AN D it came to pafs, when the Lord would take 
up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that 
Elijah went with Elifha from Gilgal. 

2 And Elijah faid unto Elifha, Tarry here, I pray 
thee; for the Lord hath fent me to Bethel. And 
Elifha faid unto him, As the Lord liveth, and as thy 
foul liveth, I will not leave thee, So they went down 
to Bethel. 

3 And the fons of the prophets that were at Bethel 
came forth to Elifha, and faid unto him, Knoweftdiou 
that the Lord will take away thy mafter from thy 
head today ? And he faid, Yea, I know it ; hold ye 
your peace. 

4 And Elijah faid unto him, Elifha tarry here, I 
pray thee ; for the Lord hath fent me to Jericho. And 
he faid, As the Lord liveth, and as thy foul liveth, I 
will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho. 

5 And the fons of the prophets that were at Jericho 
came to Elifha, and faid unto him, Knowefl thou that 
the Lord will take away thy mafler from thy head 
to day ? And he anfwered, Yea, I know it ; hold ye 
your peace. 

6 And Elijah faid unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, 
here ; for the Lord hath fent me to Jordan. And he 
faid, As the Lord liveth, and as thy foul liveth, I 
will not leave thee. And they two went on. 

7 And fifty men of the fons of the prophets went, and 
flood f to view afar off: and they two flood by Jordan. 

8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it to- 
gether, and fmote the waters, and they were divided 
hither and thither ; fo that they two went over on dry 
ground.

that Elijah faid unto Elifha, Afk what I fhall do for 
thee before I be taken away from thee. And Eliiha 
faid, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy fpirit be 
upon me: 

10 And he faid, f Thou haft afked a hard thing : 
•din nevertheless, if thou fee me when I am taken from thee, 

it fhall be fo unto thee ; but if not, it fhall not be fo. 

11 And it came to pafs, as they frill went on and 
talked, that, behold, there appeared & chariot of fire, 
and horfes of fire, and parted them both afunder ; 
and a Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven. 

12 U And Eliiha law it ; and he cried, b My father, 
my father ! the chariot of Ifrael, and the horfemen 
thereof. And he faw him no more : and he took hold 
of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces. 

13 He took up alfo the mantle of Elijah that fell 
from him, and went back, and flood by the f bank of 
Jordan : 

_ 14 And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from 
him, and fmote the waters, and faid, Where is the 
Lord God of Elijah ? And when he alfo had fmitten 
the waters, they parted hither and thither ; and Eliiha 
went over. 

15 And when the fons of the prophets, which were 
e to view at Jericho, faw him, they faid, The fpirit of 
Elijah doth reft on Eliiha. And they came to meet 
him, and bowed themfelves-to the ground before him. 

16 H And they faid unto him, Behold now, there 
be with thy fervants fifty f ftrong men, let them go, 
we pray thee, and leek thy mailer ; left peradventure 
the Spirit of the Lord hath taken him up, and caft 

ItemwJL mrn u P° n t fome mountain, or into fome valley. And 
' he faid, Ye fhall not fend. 

17 And when they urged him till he was afhamed, 
he faid, Send. They fent therefore fifty men ; and 
they fought three days, but found him not. 

18 And when they came again to him, (for he tar- 
ried at Jericho,) he laid unto them, Did I not fay unto 
you, Go not? 

19 1 And the men of the city faid unto Elifha, Be- 
hold, I pray thee, the fituation of this city is pleafant, 
as my lord feeth ; but the water is naught, and the 

}«*?•■ ««5. : .-* ground f barren. 

20 And he faid, Bring me a new cruife, and put fait 
therein : and they brought it to him. 

21 And he went forth unto the fpring of the waters, 
and caft the fait in there, and faid, Thus faith the 
Lord, I have healed thefe waters ; there fhall not be 
from thence any more death or barren land. 

22 So the waters were healed unto this day, accord-, 
ing to the faying of Eliiha, which he fpake. 

23 And he went up from thence unto Bethel" : and, 
as he was going up by the way, there came forth little 
children out of the city, and mocked him, and faid 
unto him, Go up thou bald head ; go up thou bald 
head. 

24 And he turned back and looked on them, and 
curfcd them in the name of the Lord ; and there 
came forth, 1 two fhe bears out of the wood, and tare 
forty and two children^ of them. 

25 And he went flora, thence to mount Carmel ; 
and from thence he Returned to Samaria.

sacrificeth his eldest son, andraiseth the siege. 

NO W Jehoram the fon of Ahab began to reign over 
Ifrael in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehofha- 
phat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years. 

2 And he wrought evil in the fight of the Lor d , but 
not like his father, and like his mother ; for he put 
away the t image of Baal that his father had made. 

3 Neverthelefs he cleaved unto the fins of Jeroboam 
the fon of Nebat which made Ifrael to fin ; he de- 
parted not therefrom. 

4 And Mefha king of Moab was a fheepmafter, and 
rendered unto the king of Ifrael an hundred thoufand 
lambs, and an hundred thoufand rams, with the woo^ 

5 But it came to pafs, when a Ahab was dead, that achap. 
the king of Mpab rebelled againft the king of Ifrael. 

6 H And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the 
fame time, and numbered all Ifrael. 

7 And he went and fent to Jehofhaphat the king of 
Judah, faying, The king of Moab hath rebelled againft 
me : wilt thou go with me againft Moab to battle ? 
And he faid, I will go up ; a I am as thou art, my peo- 
ple as thy people, and my horfes as thy horfes. 

8 And he laid, Which way fhall wc_go up ? And he 
anfwered, The way through the wildernefs of Edom. 

9 So the king of Ifrael went, and the king of Judah, 
and the king of Edom ; and they fetched a compafs 
offeven days' journey : and there was no water for 
the hoft, and for the cattle f that followed them. 

10 And the king of Ifrael faid, Alas, that the Lord 
hath called thefe three kings together, to deliver them 
into the hand of Moab ! 

11 But Jehofhaphat faid, Is there not here a pro- 
phet of the Lord, that we may inquiue of the Lord 
by him ? And one of the king of lfrael's fervants an- 
fwered, and faid, Here is Eliiha the fon of Shaphat, 
which poured water on the hands of Elijah. 

12 And Jehofhaphat faid, The word of the Lord is 
with him. So the king of Ifrael, and Jehofhaphat, and 
the king of Edom went down to him. 

13 And Eliiha faid unto the king of Ifrael, What 
have I to do with thee ? get thee to the prophets of 
thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And 
the king of Ifrael faid unto him, Nay ; for the Lord 
hath called thefe three kings together, to deliver them 
into the hand of Moab. 

14 And Elifha faid, As the Lord of hofts liveth, 
before whom I ftand, furely were it not that I regard 
the prefence of Jehofhaphat the king of Judah, I would 
not look toward thee, nor fee thee. 

15 But now bring me a minftrel. And it came to 
pafs, when the minftrel played, that the hand of the 
Lord came upon him. 

16 And he faid, Thus faith the Lord, Make this 
valley full of ditches : 

17 For thus faith the Lord, Ye fhall not fee wind, 
neither fhall } T e fee rain ; yet that valley fhall be filled 
with water, that ye may drink, both ye and your cat- 
tle, and your beafts. 

18 And this is but a light tiling in the fight of the 
Lord : he will deliver the Moabites alfo into your 
hand.

20 1 And it came to pafs in the morning, when the 
meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came 
water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled 
with water. 

21 And when all the Moabites heard that the kings 
were come up to fight againft them, they t gathered 
all that were able to f put on armour, and upward, 
and flood in the border. 

22 And they role up early in the morning, and the 
fun fhone upon the water, and the Moabites faw the 
water on the other fide as red as blood. 

23 And they faid, This is blood ; the kings are 
finely t flain, and they have fmitten one another : now, 
therefore, Moab, to-fhefpoil. 

24 And, when they came to the camp of Ifrael, the 
Ifraelites rofe up and fmote the Moabites, fo that they 
fled before them ; but i| they went forward fmiting 
the Moabites, even in their country. 

25 And they beat down the cities, and on every 
good piece of land call: every man his ilone, and filled 
it ; and they flopped all the wells of water, and felled 
all the good trees : f only in Kirharaieth left they the 
ftones thereof; howbeit, the flingers went about it, 
and fmote it. 

26 M And when the king of Moab faw that the bat- 
tle was too fore for him, he took with him feven hun- 
dred men that drew fwords, to break through even 
unto the king of Edom : but they could not. 

27 Then he took his eldeft fon, that ihouid have 
reigned in his ftead, and offered him for a burnt of- 
fering upon the wall. And [[ there was great indigna- 
tion againfl Ifrael : and they departed from Mm, and 
returned to their own land. 

CHAP. IV. 
1 Elisha multiplieth the widow's oil: 8 he is hospita- 
bly entertained by a great woman at Shunem, who 
is requited by the promise of a son : 18 he by pray- 
er raiselhher dead son to life : 33 at Gilgal be heal- 
eth the deadly pottage : 42 he satisfieih an hundred 
men iinth twenty loaves. 

NOW there cried a certain woman of the wives of 
the fons of the prophets unto Elifha, faying, Thy 
fervant, myhufband, is dead ; and thou knoweflthat 
thy fen-ant did fear the Lord : and the creditor is 
come to take unto him my two fons to be bondmen. 

2 And Eliflia faid unto her, What fhall I do for 
thee ? tell me : what haft thou in the houfe ? and fhe 
faid, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the houfe 
faye a pot of oil. 

3 T hen he faid , Go , borrow thee veffels abroad of all 
thy neighbours, even empty veffels; || borrownota few. 

4 And when thou art come in, thou fhait fhut the 
door upon thee, and upon thy fons, and (halt pour 
out into all thofe veffels, and thou fhalt fet aude that 
which is full. 

5 So Ihe went from him, and fhut the door upon 
her and upon her fons, who brought the vessels to her, 
and fhe poured out. 

6 Andit came to pafs when the veffels were full, that 
fhe faid unto her fon, Bring me yet a veffel. And he faid 
unto her, There is not a veffel more. And the oil flayed. 

7 Then fhe came and told the man of God : and 
he faid, Go, fell the oil, and pay thy || debt, and live 
thouand thy children of the reft. 



8 Tl And f it fell on a day, that Eliiha patted to Shu- 
nem, where was a great woman ; and fhe f conflrain- 
ed him to eat bread. And so it was, that, as oft as he 
paffed by, he turned in thither to eat bread. 

9 And fhe faid unto her hufband, Behold now, I 
perceive that this is an holy man of God, which pafT- 
eth by us continually. 

10 Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the 
wall ; and let us fet for him there a bed, and a table, 
and aftool, and a candleflick : and it fhall be, when he 
cometh to us, that he fhall turn in thither. 

11 And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and 
he turned into the chamber, and lay there. 

12 And he faid to Gehazi his fervant, Call this 
Shunammite. And, when he had called her, fhe flood 
before him. 

13 And he faid unto him, Say now unto her, Be- 
hold, thou haft been careful for us with all this care ; 
what is to be done for thee ? wouldeft thou be fpoken 
for to the king, or to the captain of the hofl ? And fhe 
anfwered, I dwell among mine own people. 

14 And lie faid, What then is to be done for her ? 
And Gehazi anfwered, Verily fhe hath no child, and 
her hufband is old. 

15 And he faid, Caliber. i\nd, when he had called 
her, fhe flood in the door. 

16 And he faid, a About this f feafon, according to 
the time of life, thou fhalt embrace a fon. And fhe 
faid, Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto 
thine handmaid. 

17 And the woman conceived, and bare a fon at 
that feafon that Elifha had faid unto her, according to 
the time of life. 

18 IF And, when the child was grown, it fell on a 
day, that he went out to his father to the reapers. 

19 And he faid unto his father, My head, my head I 
And he faid to a lad, Carry him to his mother. 

20 And when he had taken him, and brought him 
to his mother r he fat on her knees till noon, and then 
died. 

21 And fhe went up, and laid him on the bed of the 
man of God, and fhut the door upon him, and went out. 

22 And fhe called unto her hufband, and faid, Send 
me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the 
affes, that I may run to the man of God, andcome again. 

23 And he faid, Wherefore wilt thou go to him to 
day ? it is neither new moon nor fabbath. And fhe 
faid, It fhall be f well. 

24 Then fhe faddled an afs, and faid to her fervant, 
Drive and go forward ; f flack not thy riding for me, 
except I bid thee. 

25 So flie went, and came unto the man of God to 
mount Carmel. And it came to pafs, when the man 
of God faw her afar off, that he faid to Gehazi his 
fervant, Behold, yonder is that Shunammite : 

26 Run now, I pray thee, to meet her ; and fay unto' 
her, Is it well with thee ? is it well with thy hufband ] 
is it well with the child ? And fhe anfwered, It is well. 

27 And when fhe came to the man of God, to the 
hill, flie caught him f by the feet : but Gehazi came 
near to thruft her away. And the man of God faid, 
Let her alone, for her foul is f vexed within her : and 
the Lord hath hid ?7from me, and hath not told me.

3 1 And Gehazi palled on before them, and laid the

38 11 And .Eliiha came again to Gilgal : and there 
was a dearth in the land ; and the fons of the prophets 
were fitting before him : and he faid unto his fervant, 
Set on the great pot, and feeth pottage for the fons of

39 And one went out into the field to gather herbs, 
and found a "wild vine, and gathered thereof wild 
goards his lap full, and came and lhred them into the 
pot of pottage : for they knew them not. 

40 So they poured out for the men to eat : and it 
came to pals, as they were eating of the pottage, that 
they cried out, and faid, G thou man of God, there 
is death in the pot : and they could not eat thereof. 

41 But he faid, Then bring meal : and he call it in- 
to the pot ; and he laid, Pour out for the people that 
they may eat : and there was no f harm in the pot. 

42 If And there came a man from Baallhalilha, 
and brought the man of God bread of the firft fruits, 
twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn || in the 
hulk thereof: and he laid, Give unto the people, that 
they may eat. 

43 And his fervitor faid, What ! fhould I fet this be- 
fore an hundred men ? He faid again, Give the peo-

Syria, was a great man t with his rnafter, and 



|| f honourable ; becaufe by him the Lord had given 
II deliverance unto Syria : he was alfo a mighty man 
in valour ; but he ivas a leper. 

2 And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and 
had brought away captive out of the land of Ifrael, a 
little maid ; and fhe t waited on Naaman 's wife. 

3 And lhe faid unto her miftrefs, Would God my 
lord were t with the prophet that is in Samaria ! for he 
would f recover him of his leprofy.. 

4 And one went in and told his lord, faying, Thus 
and thus faid the maid that is of the land of Ifrael. 

5 And the king of Syria laid, Go to, go, and I will 
fend a letter unto the king of Ifrael. And he departed, 
and took t with him ten talents of lilver, andfix thou- 
fand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment. 

6 And he brought the letter to the king of Ifrael, 
faying, Now when this letter is come unto thee, be- 
hold, I have therewith lent Naaman my fervant to thee, 
that thou mayeft recover him of his leprofy. 

7 And it came to pafs, when the king of Ifrael had 
read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and faid, Am I 
God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth fend 
unto me to recover a man of his leprofy? wherefore 
confider, I pray you, and fee how he feeketh a quarrel 
againft me. 

8 H And.it was so, when Eliiha the man of God had 
heard that the king of Ifrael had rent his clothes, that 
he fent to the king, faying, Wherefore haft thou rent 
thy clothes ? let him come now to me, and he fhall 
know that there is a prophet in Ifrael. 

9 So Naaman came with his horfes, and with his 
chariot, and ftpod at the door of the houfe of Eliiha. 

10 And Eliiha fent a meffenger unto him, faying, 
Go and wafh in Jordan feven times, and thy flefh fhall 
come again unto thee, and thou fhalt be clean. 

11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and 
faid, Behold, f || I thought, He will furely come out to 
me, and Hand, and call on the name of the Lord his 
God, and t ftrjke his hand over the place, and recover 
the leper. 

12 Are not || Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damaf- 
cus, better than all the waters of Ifrael ? may I not wafh 
in them and be clean ? So he turned, and went away 
in a rage. 

13 And hisfervants came near, and fpake unto him, 
and faid, My father, if the prophet had bid thee do 
some great thing, wouldeft thou not have done it ? how 
much rather then, when he faith to thee, Wafh, and 
be clean ? 

14 Then went he down, and dipped himfelf feven 
times in Jordan, according to the faying of the man of 
God : and his fleih came again like unto the flefh of a 
little child, and a he was clean, 

15 II And he returned to.the man of God, he and all 
his company, and came and flood before him : and he 
faid, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all 
the earth but in Ifrael ; now, therefore, I pray thee, 
take a blefting of thy fervant. 

16 But he faid, As the Lord liveth, before whom I 
Hand, I will receive none. And he urged him to take 
it ; but he refufed. 

17 And Naaman faid, Shall there not then, I pray 
thee, be given to thy lervant, two mules burden of 
earth ? for thy fervant will henceforth offer neither 
burnt offering nor facrifice unto other gods, but i&to 
the Lord.

19 And he faid unto him, Go in peace. So he de-

20 If But Gehazi, the fervant of Elifha the man of 
God, faid, Behold, my mailer hath f pared Naaman 
this Syrian, in not receiving at his hands that which 
he brought ; but, as the Lord liveth,.I will run after 
him, and take feme what of him. 

21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman : and when 
Naaman faw him running after him, he lighted down 
from the chariot to meet him, and faid, f Is all well I 

22 And he faid, All is well. My mailer hath fent 
me, faying, Behold, even now there be come to me 
from mount Ephraim two young men of the fons of

and two changes of garments. 

23 And Naaman faid, Be content, take two talents. 
And he urged him, and bound two talents of filver in 
two bags, with two changes of garments, and laid them 
upon two of his fervants ; and they bare them before 
him. 

24 And when he came to the || tower, he took them 
from their hand, and bellowed them in the houfe : and 
he let the men go, and they departed. 

25 But he went in, and flood before his mailer : and 
Elilha faid unto him, Whence comest thou, Gehazi ? 
And he faid, Thy fervant went + no wither. 

26 And he faid unto him, Went not mine heart with 
thee, when the man turned again from his chariot to 
meet thee ? Is it a time to receive money, and to re- 
ceive garments, and oliveyards, and vineyards, and 
fheep, and oxen, and menfervants, and maidfervants ? 

27 The leprofy, therefore, of Naaman ihall cleave

1 Elisha gheth leave to the sorts of the prophets to en- 
large their dwellings.; he causetb iron to swim : 8 he 
disclose th the king of Syria's counsel, and disappoint- 
ed him, 1 1 who sencleth an army to Dot ban to appre- 
hend him. 18 At Elisha' 1 s prayer they are smitten 
with blindness; but ucing brought into Samaria, they 
are dismissed in peace. 24 Benhadad besiegeth Sa- 
maria. 26 Women eat their own children. 30 The 
king sendeth to slay Elisha. 

AND the fons of the prophets faid unto Elifha, 
Behold now, the place where we dwell with 
thee, is too flrait for us. 

2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take 
thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place 
there, where we may dwell. And he anfwered, Go ye. 

3 And one faid, Be content, I pray thee, and go with 
thy fervants.. And he anfwered, I will go. 

4 So he went with them. And when they came 
to Jordan, they cut down wood. 

5_ But as one was felling a beam, the t axe head 
fell into the water : and he cried, and faid, Alas,

8 If Then the king of Syria warred againil Ifrael, 
and took counfel with his fervants, faying, In fuch and 
fuch a place shall be my l| camp. 

9 And the man of God fent unto the king of Ifrael, 
faying, Beware that thou pafs no.t fuch a place ; for 
thither the Syrians are come down. 

10 And the king of Ifrael fent to the place which 
the man of God told him, and warned him of, and 
laved himfelf there, not once nor twice. 

11 If Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was 
fore troubled for this thing ; and he called his fervants, 
and faid unto th'enu Will ye not ihew me which of us 
is for the king of Ifrael I 

12 And one of his fervants faid, fNone, my lord, tHeb.sx 

king; but Elifha the prophet, that is in Ifrael, tell- 
eth the king of Ifrael the words that thou fpeakeil in 
thy bed chamber. 

13 And he faid, Go and fpy where he is, that I may 
fend and fetch him. And it was told him, laying, Be- 
hold, he is in Dothan. 

14 Therefore fent he thither horfes, and chariots, 
and a f great hofl : and they came by night, and com- +£*■ 
paffed the city about.. 

_ 15 If And when the || fervant of the man of God was 
rifen early, and gone forth, behold , an hofl compaffed the 
city, both with horfes and chariots : and his fervant 
faid unto him, Alas, my mailer ! how fhall we do ? 

16 And he anfwered, Fear not : for a they! that be l?^ *" 
with us, are more, than they that be with them. 

17 And Eliiha prayed, andfaid, Lord, I pray thee, 
open his eyes, that he may fee. And the Lord open- 
ed the eyes of the young man ; and he faw, and, be- 
hold, the mountain was full of horfes and chariots of 
fire round about Eliiha. 

18 If And when they came down to him, Elifha 
prayed unto the Lord, and faid,. Smite this people, 

1 pray thee, with blindnefs. And. he fmote them with 
blindnefs, according to the word of. Elifha. 

19 And Eliiha faid unto them, This is not the way, 
neither is this the city : f follow me, and I will bring t^tf-TJ 
you to the man whom ye ieek. But he led them to 
Samaria. 

20 And it came to pafs,. when they were come into 
Samaria, that Eliiha faid, Lord, open the eyes of 
thefe men, that they may fee. And the Lord opened 
their eyes, and they law ; and, behold they were in 
the midfl of Samaria. 

21 And the king of Ifrael faid unto Elifha, when he 
faw them, My father, fhall I finite them ? ihall I finite 
them ? 

22 And he anfwered, Thou fhalt not finite them ? 
wouldeil thou finite thole whom thou haft taken cap- 
tive with thy fword and with thy bow ? Set bread and 
water before them, that they may eat and drink, and 
goto their mailer. 

23 And he prepared great provifion for them : and 
when they had eaten and drunk, he fent them away, 
and they went to their maiter. So the bands of Syria 
came no more into the land of Ifrael. . 

24 If And it came to pafs after this, that Benhadad 
king of Syria gathered all his hofl, and went up, and 
befieged Samaria..

behold, they bciicged it, until an afs's head was sold.

26 H And, as the king of Ifrael was palling by upon 
the wall, there cried a woman unto him, faying, Help, 
my lord, O king ! 

27 And he laid, jj If the Lord do not help thee, 
whence (hall I help thee out of the barn floor, or out 
of the wine prefs ?

thy fon, that we may eat him today, and we will eat 
my fon tomorrow. 

29 So b we boiled my fon, and did eat him : and I 
faid unto her on the t next day, Give thy fon, that we 
may eat him : and fhe hath hid her fon. 

30 Tf And it came to pafs, when the king heard th, 
words of the woman, that he rent his clothes ; and he 
paflecl by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, 
behold, he had fackcloth within upon his flefh. 

31 Then he faid, God do fo, and more alfo to. me, 
if the head of Elifha the fon of Shaphat fhall ftand on 
him this day. 

32 But Elifha fat in his houfe, and the elders fat 
with him ; and the king fent a man from before him ; 
but ere the meffenger came to him, he faid to the el- 
ders, See ye how this fon of a murderer hath fent to 
take away mine head ? Look, when the meffenger 
cometh, fhut the door, and hold him faft at the door ; 
is not the found of his mailer's feet behind him ? 

33 And while he yet talked with them, behold, the 
meffenger came down unto him ; and he faid, -behold, 
this evil is of the Lord, what fhould I wait for the 
Lord any longer? 

CHAP. VII. 

1 Elisha prophesieth incredible plenty in Samaria, and 
sheweth an unbelieving lord his doom. 3 Four lepers, 
venturing into the camp of the Syrians, bring the 
tidings of their hasty flight. 12 The king fearing a 
stratagem, sendeth out spies, and finding the report 
true, spoileth the Syrians' tents. 17 The unbelieving 
lord hath the charge of the gate, and being trodden 
to death, verifieth the prediction. 

THEN Elifha faid, Hear ye the word of the Lord : 
Thus faith the Lord, Tomorrow about this 
time shall a meafure of fine flour be sold for a fhekel, 
and two meafures of barley for a fliekel, in the gate of 
Samaria. 

2 Then f a lord on whofe hand the king leaned, 
anfwered the man of God, and faid, Behold, if the 
Lord would make windows in heaven, might this 
thing be ? And he faid, Behold, thou fhalt fee it with 
thine eyes, but fhalt not eat thereof. 

3 TI And there were four leprous men at the enter- 
ing in of the gate : and they faid one to another, Whv 
fit we here until we die ? 

4_ If we fay, we will enter into the city, then the 
famine is in the city, and we fhall die there ; and if 
we fit ftill here, we die alfo. Now, therefore, 
come, and let us fall unto the hoft of the Syrians : if 
they fave us alive, we mall live : and if they kill us, 
we fhall but die. 

5 And^ they rofe up in the twilight, to go unto the 
camp of the Syrians : and when they were come to the 
uttermoft part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was 
no man there.

The unbelieving lord trodden to death. 

6 For the Lord had made the hoft of the Syrians 
to hear a noife of chariots, and a noife of horfes, even , 
the noife of a great hoft: and they faid one to another, 
Lo, the king of Ifrael hath hired againit us the kings 
of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to 
come upon us. 

7 Wherefore they arofe, and fled in the twilight, 
and left their tents, and their horfes, and their affes, 
even the camp as it was, and fled for their life. 

8 And when thefe lepers came to the uttermoft 
part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat 
and drink, and carried thence filver, and gold, and 
raiment, and went and hid it ; and came again, and 
entered into another tent, and carried thence also, and 
went and hid it. 

9 Then they faid one to another, We do not well : 
this day is a. day of good tidings, and we hold our 
peace : if we tarry till the morning light f fome mif- 
chief will come upon us : now, therefore, come, that 
we may go and tell the king's houfehold. 

10 So they came and called, unto the porter of the 
city : and they told him, faying, We came to the 
camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man 
there, neither voice of man, but horfes tied, and affes 
tied, and the tents as they were. 

11 And he called the porters, and they told it to 
the king's houfe within. 

_ 12 H And the king arofe in the night, and faid unto 
his fervants, Iwillnow (hew you whatthe Syrians have 
clone to us : they know that we be hungry, therefore 
are they gone out of the camp to hide themfelves in 
the field, faying, When they come out of the city, we 
catch them alive, and get into the city. 

13 And one of his fervants anfwered and faid, Let 
some take, I pray thee, five of the horfes that remain^/ 
which are left f in the city , (behold, they are as all the t Heb. /«?* 
multitude of Ifrael that are left in it ; behold, I say, 

they are even as all the multitude of the Ifraelites that 
are confumed,) and let us fend and fee. 

14 They took, therefore, two chariot horfes ; and 
the king fent after the hoil of the Syrians, faying, Go 
and fee. 

15 And they went after them unto Jordan ; and, 
lo, all the way W3\yfull of garments and veffels, which 
the Syrians had call away in their hafte : and the 
meffengers returned and told the king. 

16 And the people went out .and fpoiled the tents 
of the Syrians. So a meafure of fine flour was sold 
for a fhekel, and two meafures of barley for a fliekel, 
according to the word of the Lord. 

17 If And the king appointed the lord, on whofe • 
hand he leaned, to have the charge of the gate : and 
the people trode upon him in the gate, and he died, as 
the man of God had faid, who fpake when the king- 
came clown to him. 

18 And it came to pafs, as the man of God had 
fpoken to the king, faying, Two meafures of barley for 
a fliekel, and a meafure of fine flour for a fhekel, fhall 
be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria : 

19 And that lord anfwered the man of God, and 
faid, Now, behold, if the Lord fhould make windows 
in heaven, might iuch a thing be ? And he faid, Be- 
hold, thou fhalt fee it with thine eyes, but fhalt not 
eat thereof. 

20 And fo it fell out unto him : for the people trode 
upon him in the gate, and he died,

3 And it came to pafs at the feven years' end, that

and (lie went forth to cry unto the king, for her houfe, 
and for her land. 

4 And the king talked with Gehazi, the fervant of

great things that Eliflia hath done. 

5 And it came to pafs, as he was telling the king 
how he had reftorecl a dead body to life, that, behold, 
the woman, whofe fon he had reftored to life, cried to 
the king for her houfe, and for her land. And Gehazi 
faid, My lord, O king, this is the woman, and this is 
her fon, whom Eliiha reftored to life.

7 IT And Eliflia came to Damafcus ; and Benhadad,

9 So Hazael went to meet him, and took a prefent

11 And he fettled his countenance f ftedfaftly, until

3 Then a take the box of oil, and pour it on his 
head, and fay, Thus faith the Lord, I have anointed 
thee king over Ifrael : then open the door and flee, 
and tarry not. 

4 1[ So the young man, even the young man the 
prophet, went to Ramothgilead. 

5 And when he came, behold, the captains of the 
hoil were fitting ; and he faid, I have an errand to 
thee, O captain. And Jehu faid, Unto which of all 
us ? And he faid, To thee, O captain. 

6 And he arofe, and went into the houfe ; and he 
poured the oil on his head, and faid unto him, Thus 
iaith the Lord God of Ifrael, I have anointed thee 
king over the people of the Lord, even over Ifrael. 

7 And thou lhalt fmite the houfe of Ahab thy 
mailer, that I may avenge the blood of my fervants 
the prophets, and the blood of all the fervants of the 
Lord, * at the hand of Jezebel. 

8 For the whole houfe of Ahab fliall perifh : and 
c I will cut off from Ahab him that piffeth againft the 
wall, and him that is fhut up and left in Ifrael. 

9 And I will make the houfe of Ahab like the 
houfe of d Jeroboam the fon of Nebat, and like the 
houfe of e Baafha the fon of Ahijah. 

10 And the dogs ihall eat Jezebel in the portion of 
Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her. And he 
opened the door and fled. 

11 IF Then Jehu came forth to the fervants of his 
lord : and one faid unto him, Is all well ? wherefore 
came this mad fellow to thee ? And he faid unto them, 
Ye know the man, and his communication. 

12 And they faid, It is falfe ; tell us now. And he 
faid, Thus and thus fpake he to me, faying, Thus faith 
the Lord, I have anointed thee king over Ifrael. 

13 Then they hailed, and took every man his gar- 
ment, and put it under him on the top of the Hairs, 
and blew with trumpets, faying^ Jehu t is king. 

14 So Jehu the Son of Jehoihaphat, the fon of 
Nimihi, confpired againft Joram : (now Joram had 
kept Ramothgilead, he and all Ifrael, becaufe of 
Hazael king of Syria : 

15 But € king f Joram was returned to be healed in 
Jezreel, of the wounds which the Syrians t had given 
him, Avhen he fought with Hazael king of Syria;) 
and Jehu faid, If it be your minds, then f let none go 
forth nor efcape out of the city, to go to tell it in 
Jezreel. 

16 IF So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel ; 
(for Joram lay there ;) and Ahaziah king of Judah was 
come down to fee Joram. 

17 And there flood a watchman on the tower in 
Jezreel, and he fpied theeompany of Jehu as he came, 
and faid, I fee a company. And Joram faid, Take an 
horfeman, and fend to meet them, and let him fay, 
Is it peace •? 

18 So there went one on horfeback to meet him, 
and faid, Thus faith the king, Is it peace ? And Jehu 
faid, What hall thou to do with peace ? turn thee be- 
hind me. And the watchman told, faying, The mef- 
fenger came to them, but he cometh not again. 

19 Then he fent out a fecond on horfeback, which 
came to them, and laid, Thus faith the king, Is it 
peace ? And Jehu anfwered, What haft thou to do 
with peace ? turn thee behind me, 

20 And the watchman told, faying, He came even

driveth f furioufly. 

21 And Joram faid, f Make ready. And his ctfar- 
iot was made ready. And Joram king of Ifrael, and 
Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, 
and they went out againft Jehu, and t met him in the i?*- 
portion of Naboth the Jezreelite. ' 

22 And it came topafs, when Joram faw Jehu, that 
he faid, Is it peace, Jehu ? And he anfwered, What 
peace, fo long as the A-vhoredoms of thy mother Jeze- 
bel, and her witchcrafts, are so many ? 

23 And Joram turned his hands, and fled, and faid 
to Ahaziah, There is treachery, O Ahaziah ! 

24 And Jehu t drew a bow with his full ftrength, ^,f s -f;' : ! ,; d 
and fmote Jehoram between his arms, and the airow ™?thah\v. 
went out at his heart, and he f funk down in his 
chariot. 

25 Then faid Jehu to Bidkar his captain, Take up, 
and call him in the portion of the field of Naboth the 
Jezreelite : for remember how that, when I and thou 

rode together after Ahab his father, * the Lord laid f I ' 2 ^. tng3 
this burden upon him ; 

26 Surely I have teen yefterday the f blood of Na- + «*• 
both, and the blood of his fons, faith the Lord ; and 
I will requite thee in this |j plat, faith the Lord. Now, 
therefore, take andcaii him into the plat of ground, 
according to the word of the Lord. 

27 IF But when Ahaziah the king of Judah faw this, 
hefted by the way of the garden houfe ; and Jehu fol- 
lowed after him, and faid, Smite him alfo in the chariot. 
And they did so at the going up to Gur, which is by 
Ibleam ; and he fled to Megiddo, and died there. 

28 And his fervants carried him in a chariot to 
Jerufalem, and buried him in his fepulchre with his 
fathers in the city of David. 

29 And in the eleventh year of Joram the fon of 
Ahab, began Ahaziah to reign over Judah. 

30 IT And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, Jezebel 
heard of it ; and fne t painted her face, and tired her 
head, and looked out at a window. 

31 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, fhe faid, 
Had Zimri peace, who flew his mailer „ ? 

32 And he lifted up his face to the window, and faid, |° n £ g , 
Who is on my fide ? who ? And there looked out to cir.'ss 4 .' 
him two or three || eunuchs. hcr%'e p s1n 

33 And he faid, Throw her down. So they threw f^!W m 
her down ; and some of her IMood was fprinkled on the *«•'«'»-'' 
wall* and on the horfes : and he trode her under foot. 

34 And when he was come in, he did eat and 
drink, and faid, Go, fee now this curfed woman, and 
bury her : for fhe is a king's daughter. 

35 And they went to bury her : but they found no 
more of her than the fcull, and the feet, and the palms 
of her hands. 

36 Wherefore they came again, and told him ; and 
he faid, This is the word of the Lord, which he fpake 

t by his fervant Elijah the Tilhbite, faying, h In the }^f-h ,

all the worshippers of Baal, and breaketh down his 
images and his house. 29 Jehu followeth Jeroboam's 
sins. 32 Hazael oppresseth Israel. 34 Jehu dieth ; 
his son Jehoahaz succeedeth. 

AN D Ahab had feventy fons in Samaria. And 
Jehu wrote letters, and fent to Samaria, unto 
the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to t them 
that brought up Ahab's children, faying, 

2 Now, as foon as this letter cometh to you, feeing 
your matters fons an? with you, and there are with you 
chariots and horfes, a fenced city alfo, and armour, 

3 Look even out the beft and meetefl of your maf- 
ter's fons, and fet him on his fadier's throne, and fight 
for your matter's houfe. 

4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and faid, Be- 
hold, two kings flood not before him ; how then fliall 
we fland ? 

5 And he that was over the houfe, and he that was 
over the city, the elders alfo, and the bringers up of 
the children, fent to Jehu, faying, We are thy fervanf s, 
and will do all that thou {halt bid us ; we will not make 
any king : do thou that which is good in thine eyes. 

6 Then he wrote a letter the fecond time to them, 
faying, If ye be \ mine, and if ye will hearken unto 
my voice, take ye the heads of the men your mafter^s 
fons, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this 
time. (Nowthe king's fons, being feventy perfons, were 
withthe great men ofthe city, which broughtthemup .) 

7 And it came to pafs, when the letter came to 
them, that they took the king's fons, and flew feventy 
perfons, and put their heads in bafkets, and fent him 
ihem to Jezreel. 

8 H And there came a meffenger, and told him, 
faying, They have brought the heads ofthe king's fons, 
And he faid, Lay ye them in two heaps at the enter- 
ing in ofthe gate until the morning, 

9 And it came to pafs in the morning, that he went 
out, and flood, and faid to all the people, Ye be righ- 
teous : behold, I confpired againft my mailer, and 
flew him ; but who flew all thefe ? 

10 Know now, that there fhall fall unto the earth 
nothing of the word ofthe Lord, which the Lord 
fpake concerning the houfe of Ahab : for the Lord

14 And he faid, Take them alive. And they took 
them alive, and flew them at the pit of the fhearing 
houfe, even two and forty men ; neither left he any 
of them. 

15 1i And, when he was departed thence, he f light- 
ed on Jehonadab the fon of Rechab coming to meet 
him ; and he ffaluted him, and faid to him, Is thine 
heart right, as my heart is with thy heart ? And Jeho- 
nadab anfwered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand.

And he gave him his hand ; and he took him up to 
him into the chariot. 

16 And he faid, Come with me, and fee my zeal 
for the Lord. So they made him ride in his chariot. 

17 And when he came to Samaria, he flew all that 
remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had deftroyed 
him according to the faying of the Lord, which he 
fpake to Elijah. 

18 II And Jehu gathered all the people together, 
and faid unto them, Ahab ferved Baal a little, but Jehu 
fhall ferve him much. 

19 Now, dierefore, call unto me all the prophet j 
of Baal, all his fervants, and all his priefls, let none 
be wanting ; for I have a great facrifice to do to Baal : 
whofoever fhall be wanting he fliall not live. But Jehu 
did it in fubtilty, to the intent that he might defbroy 
the worfhippers of Baal. 

20 And Jehu faid, f Proclaim a folemn affembly s"*V>, 
for Baal. And they proclaimed it. 

21 And Jehu fent dirough all Ifrael,; and all the wor- 
fhippers of Baal came, fo that there was not a man 
left that came not : and they came into the houfe of 
Baal ; and the houfe of Baal was || full from one end ^ 'there- 
to another. st0<xi mmik 

22 And he faid unto him that was over the veilry, 
Bring forth veftments for all the worfhippers of Baal. 
And he brought them forth veftments. 

23 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the fon of 
Rechab, into the houfe of Baal, and faid unto the 
worfhippers of Baal, Search, and look that dierebe 
here with you none of the fervants of the Lord, but 
die worfhippers of Baal only. 

24 And when they went in to offer facrifices and 
burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourfcore men with- 
out, and faid, if my ofthe men whom I have brought 
into your hands efcape, he that letteth him go, his life 
shall be for the life of him. 

25 And it came to pafs, as foon as he had made an 
end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu faid to the 
guard, and to the captains, Go in, and flay them : let 
none come forth. And they fmote them with t the edge 
of the fword ; and the guard and the captains cafl 
them out, and went to the city ofthe houfe of Baal. 

26 And they brought forth the t images out of the **'% . 
houfe of Baal, and burned them. 

27 And they brake down the image of Baal, and 
brake down the houfe of Baal, and made it a draught 
houfe unto this day. 

28 Thus Jehu deftroyed Baal out of Ifrael. 

29 If Howbeit, from the fins of Jeroboam the fon 
of Nebat, who made Ifrael to fin, Jehu departed not 
from after them, to wit, die golden calves that were 
in Bethel, and that were in Dan.' 

30 And the Lord faid unto Jehu, Becaufethou haft 
done well in executing that which is right in mine 
eyes, and haft done unto the houfe of Ahab accord- 
ing to all diat was in mine heart, thy children of the 
fourth generation fliall fit on the throne of Ifrael. 

31 But Jehu f took no heed to walk in the law of + ^^ • 
the Lord God of Ifrael with all his heart : for he de- 
patted not from the fins of Jeroboam, which made 

Ifrael to fin.

34 IT Now the reft of the acls of Jehu, and all that

book of the Chronicles of the kings of Ifrael ? 

35 And Jehu flept Avith his fathers ; and they bu- 
ried him in Samaria : and Jehoahaz his fon reigned 
in his Head. 

36 And thet time that Jehu reigned over Ifrael in 
Samaria was twenty and eight years.

1 Jehoash, saved by Jehosheba his aunt, from Atha- 
liah' 1 s massacre of the royal family ofjudah, is hid 
six years in the house of God. 4 Jehoiada, giving 
order to the captains, in the seventh year anointeth 
him king. 13 Athaliah is slain. VI Jehoiada restor- 
eth the worship of God. 

ND when a Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, faw

2 ButjJehofheba, the daughter of king Joram, filter 
of Ahaziah, took Joafh the fon of Ahaziah, and Hole 
him from among the king's fons which were (lain ; and 
they hid him, even him and his nurfe, in the bed 
chamber, from Athaliah, fo that he was not flain. 

3 And he was with her hid in the houfe of the 
Lord fix years : and Athaliah did reign over the 
land. 

4 U And b the feventh year Jehoiada lent and fetch- 
ed the rulers over hundreds, with the captains and the 
guard, and brought them to him into the houfe of the 
Lord, and made a covenant with them, and took an 
oath of them in the houfe of the Lord, and fhewed 
thern the king's fon. 

5 And he commanded them, faying, This is the 
thing that ye lhail do ; A third part of you that enter 
in on the fabbath fhall even be keepers of the watch 
of the king's houfe ; 

6 And a third part shall be at the gate of Sur ; and a 
third part at the gate behind the guard : fo fhall ye keep 
the watch of the houfe, || that it be not broken down : 

7 And two || f parts of all you that go forth on the

8 And ye fhall compafs the king round about, eve- 
ry man with his weapons in his hand ; and he that com- 
eth within the ranges, let him be flain : and be ye with 
the king as he goeth out, and as he cometh in. 

9 And the captains over the hundreds did accord- 
ing to all things that Jehoiada the prielt commanded : 
and they took every man his men that were to come 
in on the fabbath, with them that fhould go out on 
the fabbath, and came to Jehoiada the prielt. 

_ 10 And to the captains over hundreds did the prielt 
give king David's fpears and fhields, that were in the

14 And, when fhe looked, behold, the king flood

the trumpeters by the king ; and all the people of the 
land rejoiced, and blew with trumpets. And Atha- 
liah rent her clothes, and cried, Treafon, treafon ! 

15 But Jehoiada the prieft commanded the captains 
of the hundreds, the officers of the hoft, and faid unto 
them , Have her forth without the ranges ; and him that 
followeth her kill w T ith the fword. For the prieft had

18 And all the people of the land went into the 
houfe of Baal, and break it down; his altars and his 
images brake they in pieces thoroughly, and flew Mat- 
tan the prieft of Baal before the altars : and the prieft: 
appointed t officers over the houfe of the Lord. 

19 And he took the rulers over hundreds, and the

to the king's houfe : and he fat on the throne of the

20 And all the people of the land rejoiced, and the 
city was in quiet ; and they flew Athaliah with the 
fword beside the king's houfe.

reign. 

CHAP. XII. 

1 Jehoash reigneth well all the days of Jehoiada ; 4 
he giveth order for the repair of -the house of the 
ford. 17 Hazael is diverted from his design 
against Jerusalem by a present of the hallowed 
treasures. 19 Jchoash being slain by his servants, 
Amaziah succeedeth him. 

N the feventh year of Jehu, a Jehoafli began to 
reign ; and forty years reigned he in Jerufalem : 

and his mother's name was Zibiah of Beerfheba. 

2 And Jehoafh did that which was right in the fight 
of the Lord all his days, wherein Jehoiada the prieft 
inftrucled him. 

3 But the high places were not taken away ; the peo- 
ple ftill facrificed and burnt incenfe in the high places. 

4 1[ And Jehoafli faid to the priefts, All the money 
of the || f dedicated things that is brought into the 
houfe of the Lord, even the money of every onethat 
paffeth the account, f the money that every man is fet 
at, and all the money that f cometh into any man's 
heart to bring into the houfe of the Lord, 

5 Let the priefts take it to them, every man of his 
acquaintance : and let them repair the breaches of. 
the houfe, wherefoever any breach flial 1 be found. 

6 But it was so, that, f in the three and twentieth 
year of king Jehoafh, the priefts had not repaired the 
breaches of me houfe. 

7 Then king Jehoafli called for Jehoiada the prieft, 
and the other priefts, and faid unto them, Why repair

money of the people, neither to repair the breaches of 
the home, 

9 But Jehoiada the prieft took a cheft, and bored a 
hole in the lid of it, and fet it beiide the altar, on the 
right fide, as one cometh into the houfe of the Lord ; 
and the priefts that kept the f door put therein ail the 
money that, was brought into the houfe of the Lord. 

10 And it was so, when they fa w that tberewasmuch 
money in the cheft, that the king's || fcribe and the high 
prieft came up, and they f put up in bags, and told the 
money that was found in the houfe of the Lord. 

11 And they gave the money, being told, into the 
hands of them that did the work, that had the over- 
fight of the houfe of the Lord : and they t laid it out 
to the carpenters and builders, that wrought upon the 
houfe of the Lord, 

12 And to mafons, and hewers of flone, and to buy 
timber arvl'hewed ftone, to repair the breaches of the

the home to repair it. 

13 Howbeit, there were not made for the houfe of 
the Lord bowls of hlver, fnuffers, bafons, trumpets, 
any veffels of gold, or veffels of filver, of the money 
that was brought into the houle of the Lord : 

14 But they gave that to the workmen, and repaired 
therewith the houfe of the Lord. 

15 Moreover, they reckoned not with the men into 
whofe hand they delivered the money to be bellowed 
on workmen : for they dealt faithfully. 

16 The trefpafs money, and fin money, was not 
brought into the houfe of the Lord : it was the prieits. 

17 II Then Hazael king of Syria went up, and fought 
againft Gath, and took it : . and Hazael let his face to 
go up to Jeruialem. 

18 And Jehoafh king of Judah took all the hallowed 
things, that Jehofhaphat, and Jehoram, and Ahaziah, 
his lathers, kings of Judah, had dedicated, and his 
own hallowed things^nd all the gold that was found 
in the treafures of thchoufe of the Lord, and in the 
king's houfe, and fent it to Hazael king of Syria : and 
he f went away from Jerufalem. 

19 IF And the reft of the acts of Jehoafh, and all 
that he did, are they not written in the book of the 
Chronicles of the kings of Judah ? 

20 And his fervants arofe, and made a confpiracy, 
and flew Jehoafh in || the houfe of Millo, which goeth

king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the fon 

of Hazael, all their days. 

4 And Jehoahaz beibughtthe Lord, and the Lord 
hearkened unto him ; for he faw the oppreffion of 
Ifrael, becaufe the king of Syria oppreffeci them. 

5 (And die Lord gave Ifrael a faviour, lb that they 
went out from under the hand of the Syrians : and the 
children of Ifrael dwelt in their tents fas beforetime. 

6 Neverthelefs, they departed not from the fins of 
the houfe of Jeroboam, who made Ifrael fin, but 
t walked therein : and there t remained the grove 
alfo in Samaria.) 

7 Neither did he leave of the people to Jehoahaz 
but fifty horfemen, and ten chariots, and ten thoufand 
footmen ; for the king of Sj-ria had deftroyed them, 
and had made them like the duft by threfhing. 

8 IT Now the reft of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that 
he did, and his might, are they not written in the book 
of the Chronicles of the kings of Ifrael ? 

9 And Jehoahaz flept with his fathers; andtheyburied 
him in Samaria : and Joafh his fon reigned in his ftead.* 

10 tT In the thirty and feventh year of Joalh king of 
Judah began || Jehoafh the fon of Jehoahaz to reign 
over Ifrael in Samaria, and reigned fixteen years. 

11 And he did that which was evil in the fight of h*

12 And thereft of the acts of Joafh, and all that 
he did, and his might wherewith he fought againft

13 And Joalb. flept with his fathers ; and Jeroboam 
fat upon his throne : and Joafli was buried in Samaria 
with the kings of Ifrael. 

14 If Now Eliffia was fallen fick, of his ficknefs 
whereof he died. And Joalh the king of Ifrael came 
down unto him, and wept over his face, and faid, O 
my father, my father ; the chariot of Ifrael, and the 
horfemen thereof ! 

15 And Eliflia faid unto him, Take bow and ar- 
rows. And he took unto him bow and arrows. 

16 And he faid to the king of Ifrael, f Put thine 
hand upon the bow. And he put his hand upon it : 
and Elifha put his hands upon the king's hands. 

17 And he faid, Open the window eaftward : and he 
opened it. Then Elifha faid, Shoot : and he fhot. And 
he faid, The arrow of the Lord's deliverance, and the 
arrow of deliverance from Syria : for thou fhalt fmite 
the Syrians in Aphek, till thou have confumed wem. 

18 And he faid, Take the arrows : and he took them. 
And he faid unto the king of Ifrael, Smite upon the

12 And Judah t was put to the worfe before Ifrael, 
and they fled every man to their tents. 

13 And Jehoafh king of Ifrael took Amaziah king t Heb. 
of Judah, the fon of Jehoafh, the fon of Ahaziah, at mitten 
Bethfhemefh, and came to Jerufalem, and brake down 
the wall of Jerufalem, from the gate of Ephraim unto

14 And he took all the gold and filver, and all the 
veffeis that were found in the houfe of the Lord, and 
in the treafures of the king's houfe,. and hoftages, and 
returned to Samaria. 

15 II Now the reft of the afils of Jehoafli which he 
did, and his might, and how he fought with Amazi- cIr,s 
ah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of

16 And Jehoafh flept with his fathers, and was bu-

17 If And Amaziah,. the fon of Joafh king of Judah,

of Ifrael fifteen years. 

18 And the reft of the acls of Amaziah, are they-

19 Now d they made a confpiracy againft him in Je-

him to Lachifh, and flew him there.. 

20 And they brought him on horfes ; and he was bu- 
ried at Jerufalem with his fathers in the city of David. 

21 II And all the people of Judah took e Azariah, 
which was fixteen years > old, and made him king in- c ^ Uz ' 
ftead of his father Amaziah. 

22 He built Elath, and reftored it to Judah, after 
that the king flept with his fathers. 

23 II In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the fon of 
Joafh king of Judah, Jeroboam the fon of Joafh king 
of Ifrael began to reign in Samaria, and reigned forty 
and one years. 

24 And he did that which %vas evil in the fight of 
the Lord ; he departed not from all the fins of Jero- 
boam the fon of Nebat, who made Ifrael to fin. 

25 He reftored the coaft of Ifrael, from the entering 
ofHamath unto the fea of the plain, according to the 
word of the Lord God of Ifrael, which he fpake by 
the hand of his fervant f Jonah, the fon of Amittai, the 
prophet which was of Gathhepher. 

26 For the Lord faw the affliction of Ifrael, that it 
was very bitter : for there was not any fhut up, nor 
any left, nor any helper for Ifrael. 

27 And the Lord faidnot that he would blot out 
the name of Ifrael from under heaven : but he faved 
themhy the hand of Jeroboam the fon of Joafh. 

28 H Now the reft of the acts of Jeroboam, and all

not that which was right in the fight of the Lord his

3 But he walked in the way of the kings of Ifrael ; 
yea, and made his fon to pafs through the fire, accord- 
ing to the abominations of the heathen, whom the 
Lord caft out from before the children of Ifrael. 

4 And he facrificed and burnt incenfe in the high

5 IP Then Rezin king of Syria, and Pekah fon of

and they befieged Ahaz, but could not overcome him. 

6 At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath

7 IT So Ahaz fent meffengers to Tiglathpilefer king

8 And Ahaz took the filverandgold thatwas found in

9 And the king of Affyria hearkened unto him ;

Urijah the prieft made it againft king Ahaz came from

12 And when the king was come from Damafcus, 
the king faw the altar : and the king approached to 
the altar, and offered thereon. 

13 And he burnt his burnt offering and his meat 
offering, and poured his drink offering, and fprinkled 
the blood off his peace offerings, upon the altar. 

14 And he brought alfo the brafen altar, which was 
before the Lord, from the forefront of the houfe,

and put it on the north fide of the altar. 

15 And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the prieft, 
faying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt 
offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king's

offering of all the people of the land, and their meat 
offering, and their drink offerings ; and fprinkle upon 
it all the bipod of the burnt offering, and all the blood 
of the facrifice : and the brafen altar ihall be for me 
to inquire by.

4 And the king of Affyria found confpiracy in tnhuU ' 
Hofhea : for he had fent meffengers to So king of 
Egypt, and brought no prefent to the king of Affyria, 

as he had done year by year ; therefore the king of 
Affyria fhut him up, and bound him in prifon. 

5 TI Then the king of Affyria came up throughout 754. 
all the land, and went up to Samaria, and befieged it 
three years. 

6 a In the ninth year of Hoihea, the king of Affyria 7*t. 
took Samaria, and carried Ifrael away into Affyria, \^t?'- 
and placed them in Halah, and in Habor by the river 

of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes. 

7 For so it was, that the children of Ifrael had finned 
againft the Lord their God, which had brought them 
up out of the land of Egypt, from under the hand of 
Pharaoh king of Egypt, and had feared other gods, 

8 And walked in the ftatutes of the heathen, (whom 
the Lord caft out from before the children of Ifrael,) 
and of the kings of Ifrael, which they had made. 

9 And the children of Ifrael did fecretly those things 
that were not right againft the Lord their God, and 
they built them high places in all their cities, from the 
tower of the watchmen to the fenced city. 

10 And they fet them up f images and groves in t Heb. 
every high hill, and under every green tree : 

11 And there they burnt incenfe in all the high 
places, as did the heathen whom the Lord carried 
away before them ; and wrought wicked things to 
provoke the Lord to anger : 

12 For they ferved idols, whereof the Lord had 

faid unto them, b Ye fhall not do this thing. b p«& 

13 Yet the Lord teftified againft Ifrael, and againft Vueb.by 
Judah, f by all the prophets, and by all the feers, fay- $/«//?

dened their necks, like to the neck of their fathers, 
, that did not believe in the Lord their God. 

15 And they rejecled his ftatutes, and his covenant 
that he made with their fathers, and his tefti monies 
which he teltified againit them ; and they followed van- 
ity, and became vain, and went after the heathen that 
mr^i'ound about them, concerning whom the Lord 
had charged them, that they iliould not do like them. 

16 And they left all the commandments of the 
Lord their God, and e made them molten images, 
even two calves, and made a grove, and worfhipped 
all the holt of heaven, and feryed Baal. 

17 And they caufed their ions and their daughters 
to pafs through the fire, and ufed divination and en- 
chantments, and fold themfelves to do evil in the fight 
of the Lord to provoke him to anger. 

18 Therefore the Lord was very angry with Ifrael, 
and removed them out of his light : there was none 
left but the tribe of Judah only. 

19 Alfo Judah kept not the commandments of the 
Lord their God, -but walked in the ftatutes of Ifrael 
which they made. 

20 And the Lord rejected all the feed of Ifrael, 
and afflicted them, and delivered them into the hand 
of fpoilers, until he had call them out of his fight. 

21 For he rent.Ifrael from the houfe of David ; and 
they made Jeroboam the fon of Nebat king : and Jer- 
oboam drave Ifrael from following the Lord, and 
made them fin a great fin : 

22 For the children of Ifrael walked in all the fins of 
Jerrjboam which he did ; they departed not from them, 

23 Until the Lord removed Ifrael out of his fight, 
as he had faid by all his fervants the prophets. So 
was Ifrael carried away out of their own land to Af- 
fyria unto this day. 

24 1i And the king of Affyria brought men from 
•Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from Ava, and from 
Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and placed them in 
the cities of Samaria, inftead-of the children of Ifrael ; 
and they pollened Samaria, -and dwelt in the cities 
thereof. 

25 And so it was, at thebeginning of their dwelling 
there, that they feared not the Lord; therefore the 
Lord fent lions among them, which {lew some of them. 

26 Wherefore they Ipake to the king of Afiyria, 
faying, The nations which thou haft removed, and 
placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner 
of the God of the land : therefore he hath fent lions 
among them, and, behold, they Clay them, becaufe 
they know not the manner of the God of the land. 

27 Then the king of Affyria commanded, faying, 
Carry thither one of the priefts whom ye brought from 
thence, and let them go and dwell there, and let him 
teach them the manner of the God of the land. 

28 Then one of the priefts whom they had carried 
away from Samaria, came and dwelt in Bethel, and 
taught them how they fhquld fear the Lord. 

29 Howbeit, every nation made gods of their own, 
and put them in the houfes of the high places which 
the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities 
wherein they dwelt. 

30 And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, 
and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of 
Hamath made Afhima, 

31 And the Avitesmade Nibhaz and Tartak, and 
tlie Sepharvites burnt their cluldren in fire to Adram-

32 So they feared the Lord, and made unto them- 
felves of the loweft of them priefts of the high places, 
which facrificed for them in the houfes of the high 
places. 

33 f They feared the Lord, and ferved their own ^ e P h 
gods, after the manner of the nations j| whom they 
carried away from thence. 

34 Unto this day they do after the former manners : 
they fear not the Lord, neither do they after their 
ftatutes, or after their ordinances, or after the law 
and commandment which the Lord commanded the 
children of Jacob, E whom he named Ifrael ; 

35 With whom the Lord had made a covenant, 
and charged them, faying, * Ye fhall not fear other 
gods, nor bow yourfelves to them, nor ferve them, 
nor facrifice to them. 

36 But the Lord, who brought-you up out of the 
land of Egypt with great power, and a ftretched out 
arm, him fhall ye fear, and him fhall ye worfhip, and 
to him fhall ye do facrifice. 

37 And the ftatutes, and the ordinances, and the 
law, and the commandment, which he wrote for you, 
ye fhall obferve to do for evermore : and ye fhall not 
fear other gods. 

38 And the covenant that I have made with you ye 
fhall not forget ; neither fhall ye fear other gods. 

39 But the Lord your God ye fhall fear; and he 
fhall deliver you out of the hand of all your enemies. 

40 How r beit, they did not hearken, but they did 
after their former manner. 

41 So thefe nations feared the Lord, and ferved their 
graven images, both their children, and their children's 
children: as did their fathers, fo do they unto this day.

1 Hezekiah^ good reign: A- he destroy eth idolatry , and 
prosper eth. 9 In his time Samaria is carried captive 
for their sins. 13 Sennacherib invadeth Judah, and 
receive th the appointed tribute from Hezekiah. 17 
Rabshakeh, sent again by Sennacherib, revileth 
Hezekiah, 28 and, by blasphemous persuasions, so~ 
liciteth the people to revolt, 

NOW it came to pafs, in the third year of Hofhea cir. t3 .6. 
fon of Elah king of Ifrael, that a Hezekiah the a2cr.ro.28 
fon of Ahaz king of Judah began to reign. Segued 

2 Twenty and five years old was he when he be- ****"**• 
gan to reign ; and he reigned twenty and nine years 
inJerufalem : his mother's name alfo was Abi, the 
daughter of Zechariah. 

3 And he did that which was right in the fight of 
the Lord, according to all that David his father did. 

4 IT He removed the high places, and brake the 

t images, and cut down the groves, and brake in + IW >- 
pieces the b brazen ferpent that Moles had made ; for "ViwL 
unto thole days the children of Ifrael did burn incenfe 2Iy " 
to it-; and he* called it || Nehuihtan. V^U 

5 He tr ufted in the Lord God of Ifrael ; fo that iw""' 
after him Was none like him among all the kings of 
Judah, nor any that were before him. 

6 For he clave to the Lojid , and departed not f from t Heb. r r m 
following him, but kept his commandments, which °f ttrhim ' 
the Lord commanded Mofes. 

7 And the Lord was with him, and he profpered ««*•»»*

8 He fmote the Philiftines dw/z unto f Gaza, and 
the borders thereof, from the tower of the watchmen 
to the fenced city. 

9 % And c it came to pafs in the fourth year of king 
Hezekiah, which was the feventh year of Hofhea fon 
ofElah king. of Ifrael, that Shalmanefer king of Af- 
fyria came up againft Samaria, and befieged it. 

10 And at the end of three years they took it ; even 
in the fixth year of Hezekiah, (that is, d the ninth year 
of Hofhea king of Ifrael,) Samaria was taken.. 

11. And the king of Affyria did carry away Ifrael 
unto Affyria, and put them in Halah, and in Habor 
by the river of Gozan, and in the cities of the Medes ; 

12 Becaufe they obeyed not the voice of the Lord 
iheir God, but tranfgreffed his covenant, anda\\ that 
Mofes the fervant of the Lord, commanded,, and 
would not hear them nor do them. 

13 If Now, e in the fourteenth year of king Hezekiah 
did f Sennacherib king of Affyria come up againft all 
the fenced cities of Judah, and took them. 

14 And Hezekiah king of Judah fent to- the king, of 
Affyria to Lachifh, faying, I have offended ;. return 
from me : that which thou. putteft on me, will I bear. 
And the king of Affyria appointed unto Hezekiah 
king of Judah, three hundred talents of filver,.and 
thirty talents of gold, 

15 And Hezekiah gave him all the filver that was 
found in the houfe of the Lord., and in the treafures 
of the king's houfe. 

16 At that time did Hezekiah cut ofttlie gold from 
the doors of the temple of the Lord, and /row the 
pillars which Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and. 
gave t it to the king of Affyria* 

17 TT And the king of Affyria fent Tartan, and Rab- 
faris and Rabfhakeh, from Lachifhto king Hezekiah,. 
with a t great hoft againft Jerufalem : and they went 
up, and came to Jerulalem. And when they were 
come up, they came and flood by the conduit of the 
upper pool, which is in the highway of the fullers' field., 

18 And, when they had called to the king, there 
came out to them Eliakim the fon of Hilkiah, which 
•was over the houfehold, and Shehna the || fcribe, and 
Joali the fon of Afaph the recorder. 

19 And Rabfhakeh faid unto them, Speak ye now to 
Hezekiah, Thus faith the great king, the king of Af- 
fyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trufteft ? 

20 Thou || fayeft, (but they are but. t vain words,) 
|| I have counfel and ftrength for the war. Now, on 
whom dolt thou truft, that thou rebeEeft againft. me ? 

21 Now, behold, thou t trufteft upon the ftaff of 
this bruifed reed, even upon Egypt, on which if a 
man lean, it will go into his hand and pierce it : fo is 
Pharaoh king of Egypt unto all that truft on him. 

22 But if ye fay unto me, We truft in the Lord our 
God : is not that he, whole high places and whofe 
altars Hezekiah hath taken away ; and hath faid to 
Judah and Jerufalem, Ye fhall worfhip before this 
altar in Jerufalem ? 

23 Now, therefore, I pray thee give || pledges to 
my lord the king of Affyria., and I will deliver thee 
two thoufand horfes, if thou be able on thy part to fet 
riders upon them. 

24 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one 
captain of the teaft of my matter's fervants, and put 
thy truft on Egypt for chariots and fo*- horfemen ?

26 Then faid Eliakim the fon of Hilkiah, and 
Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabfhakeh, Speak, I pray 
thee, to thy fervants in the Syrian language ; (for we 
underftand it ;) and talk not with us in the Jews' Ian- 
guage, in the ears of the people that are on the wall. 

27 But Rabfhakeh faid unto them, Hath my maf.

words ? hath he not sent me to the men- which fit 011. 
the walk that they may eat their own dung, and drink 

t their own pifs with you I XS&fr? 

28 II. Then Rabfhakeh flood, and cried With a loud a*** 6 
voice in the Jews' language,, and fpake, faying, Hear 

the word of the great king, the king of Affyria : 

29 Thus faith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive 
you : for he fhall not be able to deliver you, out of his. 
hand : 

30 Neither let Hezekiah make you truft in the 
Lord, faying, The Lord will furely deliver us, and 
this city fhall not be delivered into the hand of the 
king of Affyria.. 

< 3.1 Hearken not unto Hezekiah :: for thus faith the 
king of Affyria,! f Make an. agreement •■with me by a l°}'JfS.

and drink ye every one the waters of his || ciftern, \or,pn. 

32. Until I come and take you away to a land like 
your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of 
bread and vineyards, a land of oil olive and of honey, 
that ye may live, and not die : and hearken not unto 
Hezekiah, when he || perfuadeth you, faying, The 
Lord will deliver us. 

33 Hath any of the gods of the nations delivered at 
all his land out of the hand of the king of Affyria V , 

34 Where are the gods of Hamath,and of Arpad ? 
where are the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah 1 
have they delivered Samaria out of mine hand ? 

35 Who arethey among all the gods of the countries 
that havedelivered their country out of mine hand, that 
the Lord fhould deliver Jerufalem out of mine hand ? 

36 But the people held their peace, and anfwered 
him not a word :: for the king's commandment was, 
faying, Anfwer hirn not. 

37 Then came Ellakimme fon of Hilkiah, .which was 
over the houfehold, and Shebna the fcribe, and Joah 
the fon of Afaph the recorder,, to Hezekiah, with their 
clothes rent, and told him the words of Rabfhakeh. 

CHAP. XIX. 
1 Hezekiah, in deep affliction, sendeth to Isaiah to pray 
for them. 6 Isaiah returneth an answer ofGomfort. 8' 
Sennacherib, being called to oppose Tirhahah, sendeth 
a blasphemous letter to Hezekiah. 14 Hezekiah r s

Zion, 35 An angel slayeth the Assyrian army, and 
Sennacherib is slain at Nineveh by his own so?is. 

AND a it came to pafs, when king Hezekiah heard 
it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himfelf 37 '* 
with fackcloth, and went into the houfe of the Lord. 

2 And he fent Eliakim, which was over the houfe-

|| blafphemy ; for the children are come to the birth, 
and there is not ftrength to bring forth. 

4 It maybe the Lord thy God will hear all the 
words of Rabfhakeh, whom the king of Affyria his 
mailer hath fent to reproach the living God ; and will 
reprove the words which the Lord thy God hath 
heard r wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant 
that are f left. 

5 TT So the fervants of kingHezekiah came to Ifaiah. 

6 II And Ifaiah faid unto- them, Thus fhall ye fay to 
your mailer, Thus faith the Lord, Be not afraid of 
the words which thou hall heard, with which the fer- 
vants of the king of Affyria have blafphemed me. 

7 Behold, I will fend a blafl upon him, and he fhall 
hear a rumour, and fhall return tohis o^yn land ; and 
I will caufehim to fall by the fword in his own land. 

8 So Rabfhakeh returned, and found the king of 
Affyria warring againlt Libnah : for he had heard 
that he was departed from Lachifh. 

9 And when he heard fay of Tirhakah king of Ethi- 
opia, Behold, he is come out to fight againft thee ;4ie 
fent meffengers again unto Hezekiah, faying, 

10- Thus fhall ye fpeak to Hezekiah king of Judah, 
faying,- Let not thy God in whom thou trulleil, de- 
ceive thee, faying, Jerufalem fhall not be delivered 
into the hand of the king of Affyria. 

11 Behold, thou hall heard what the kings of Affy- 
ria have done to all lands, by dellroying them utterly ; 
and lhalt thou be delivered . ? 

12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them 
which my fathers have dellroyed ; as Gozan, and 
Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of -Eden which 
were in Thelafar ? ; 

13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of 
Ar pad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, of 
Henaand Ivah ? 

14 If And Hezekiah received the letter of the hand of 
the meffengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up into 
the houfe of the Lord, andfpread it before the Lord. 

15 And Hezekiah prayed before the Lord, and 
faid, O Lord God of Ifrael, which dwelleil bet-ween 
the cherubims, thou art the God,' even thou alone, of 
all the kingdoms of the earth j thou hall- made heav- 
en and earth. 

16* L©RD,bowdownthineearandhear; open, Lord, 
thine eyes, and fee : and hear the words of Sennache- 
rib, which hath fent him to reproach the living God. 

IT OFa truth, Lord, the kings of Affyria have de- 
llroyed the nations and their lands ; 

18 And have f call their gods into the lire ; for they 
were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood 
and Hone ; - therefore they have dellroyed them. 

19 Now, therefore, O Lord our God, I befeech 
thee, -fave thou us out of his hand, that all the king- 
doms of the earth may know that thou art the Lord 
God, even thou only. 

20 II Then Ifaiah the fon of A'moz fent to Hezeki-

which thou hall prayed to me againll Sennacherib 
king of Airy ria, I have heard. 

21 This is the word that the Lord hath fpoken

houle in order ; for thou flialt die, and not live. 

2 Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed 
unto the Lord, faying^ 

3 I beieech thee, O Lord, remember now how I 
have walked before thee in truth, and with a perfect 
heart, and have done that which is good in thy light. 
And Hezekiah wept f fore. 

4 And it came to pafs afore Ifaiah was gone out 
into the middle || court, that the word of the Lord 
came to him, faying, 

5 Turn again, and tell Hezekiah, the captain of my 
people, Thus faith the Lord, the God of David thy 
lather, I have heard thy prayer, I have feen thy tears : 
behold, I will heal thee ; on the third day thou fhalt 
-go up unto -the houfe of the Lord. 

6 And I will add unto thy days fifteen -years ; and 
I \\ ill deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the 
king of Alfyria ; and I will defend this cky for mine 
own fake, and for my fervant David's fake. 

7 And Iiaiah laid, Take a lump of figs : and. they 
took and laid it on the boil, and berecovered. 

8 If And Hezekiah laid unto Ifaiah, What shall be 
the fign that the Lord will heal me, and that I ihall 
go up into £he -houfe -of the Lord the third day ? 

9 And Ifaiah Taid, This iign ihalt thou have of the 
-Lord, that the Lord will do the thing that he hath 
Jpoken ; fliall the thadow go forward ten degrees, or 
go back ten degrees ? 

10 And Hezekiah tmfwered, It is alight thing for 
the fhadow to go down ten degrees ; nay, but let the 
ihadow return backward ten degrees. 

11 And Ifaiau the -prophet cried unto the Lord ; 
and b he brought the -Ihadow ten degrees backward, 
by which it had gone down in the f dial of Ahaz. 

"' 12 If c At that time Berodachbaladan, the fon of 
Baladan, king of Babylon, fent letters and a -prefent

ointment, and all the houfe of his. II f armour, and all 
that was found in his treafures :_ there-was nothing in 
his houfe, nor in ail his dominion, that Hezekiah 
ihewed them not. 

14 IT Then came Ifaiah the prophet unto king Hez- 
ekiah, and faid unto him, What laid thele men ? and 
{from whence came they unto thee ? And Hezekiah 
faid, They are come from a far country, ~men from

15 And he faid, What have they feen in thine

are in mine houfe have they feen : there is nothing 
among my treafures that I have not fhewed them. 

16 And Iiaiah faid unto Hezekiah, Hear the word

2 And he did that which was right in the fight of the

7 Howbeit, there was no reckoning made with

becaufe they dealt faithfully. 



8 If And Hiikiah the high priefl faid unto Shaphan

Shaphan, and he read it.

17 Becaufe they have forfaken me, and have burnt

8 And he brought all the priefts out of the cities of

7 And when all the men of Ifrael that were in the 
valley faw that they fled, and that Saul and his fons 
were dead, then they forfook their cities and fled ;: 
and the Philiftines came and dwelt in them. 

8 \ And it came to pafs on the morrow, when the 
Philiftines came to ftrip the flain, that they found Saul 
and his fons fallen in mount Gilboa. 

9 And, when they had ftripped him, they took his 
head, and his armour, and fent into the land of the 
Philiftines round about to carry tidings unto their 
idols, and to the people. 

10 And they put his armour in the houfe of their 
gods, and faftened his head in the temple of Dagon. 

1 1 IT And when all Jabefhgilead heard all that the 
Philiftines had done to Saul, 

12 They arofe, all the valiant men, and took away 
the body of Saul, and the bodies of his fons, and 
brought them to Jabefh, and buried their bones under 
the oak in Jabeth, and failed feven days.

David, by a general consent, is made king at Heb- 
ron, 4 he ivinneth the castle of Zi on from the febu- 
sites by foot's valour. 10 A catalogue of David's 
mighty men. 

THEN a all Ifrael gathered themfelves to David 
unto Hebron, faying, Behold we are thy bone 
and thy flefh. 

2 And, moreover, t in time pad, even when Saul 
was king, thou wast he that leddeft out and broughteft 
in Ifrael ; and the Lord thy God faid unto thee, Thou 
ihalt || feed my people Ifrael, and tliou fhalt be ruler 
over my people Ifrael. 

3 Therefore came all the elders of Ifrael to the 
king to Hebron ; and David made a covenant with 
them in Hebron before the Lord : and they anointed 
David king over Ifrael, according to the word of the 
L r d f by b Samuel. 

4 U And David and all Ifrael c went to Jerufalem, 
which is Jebus, where the Jebufites were, the inhabit- 
ants of the land, 

5 And the inhabitants of Jebus faid to David, Thou 
fhalt not come hither. Neverthelefs David took the 
<caftle of Zion, which is the city of David. 

6 And David faid, Whofoever fmiteth the Jebufites 
firft fhall be t chief and captain. So Joab the fon of 
Zeruiah went firft up, and was chief. 

7 And David dwelt in the caftle ; therefore they call- 
ed || it, The city of David. 

8 And he built the <;ity round about, even from Millo 
round about : and Joab f repaired the reft of the city. 

9 So David f waKed greater and greater : for the 
Lord of hofts was with him. 

10 TI d Thefe alfo are the chief of the mighty men 
whom David had, who || ftrengthened themfelves with 
him in his kingdom, and with all Ifrael, to make him 
king, according to the word of the Lord concerning 
Ifrael. 

1 1 And this is the number of the mighty men whom 
,. David had ; Jafhobeam || an Hachmonite, the chief of 

the captains ; he lifted up his fpear againft three hun- 
dred flain by him -21 one time. 

12 And after him was Eleazaf the fon of Dodo the 
Ahohite, who was one of the three mighties. 

13 He was with David at j| Pafdammim, and there 
the Philiftines were gathered together to battle, where 
was a parcel of ground full of barley ; and the people 
fled from before the Philiftines ; 

14 And they || fet themfelves in the rnidft of that 
parcel, and delivered it, and flew the Philiftines ; and 
the Lord faved them by a great || deliverance. 

15 Now || three of the thirty € captains went down 
to the rock to David, into the cave of Adullam ; and 
the hoft of the Philiftines encamped in the valley of 
Rephaim. 

16 And David Was then in the hold, and the Phi- 
liftines' garrifon ivas then at Bethlehem. 

^ 17 And David longed, and faid, Oh that one would 
give me drink of the water of the well of Bethlehem 
that 'is at the gate ! 

18 And the three brake through the hoft of the Phi- 
liftines, and drew water out of the well of Bethlehem 
that was by the gate, and took it, and brought it to 
David : but David would not drink of it, but poured 
it out to the Lord,

have put their lives in jeopardy ? for with the jeopardy 
of their lives they brought it : therefore he would not 
drink it. Thefe things did thefe three mightieft. 

20 And Abiihai the brother of Joab, he was chief 
of the three : for lifting up his fpear againft three hun- 
dred, he flew them, and had a name among the three. 

21 f Of the three he was more honourable than the 
two, for he was their captain ; howbeit he attained 
not to the first three. 

22 Benaiah the fon of Jehoiada, the fon of a valiant 
man of Kabzeel, f who had done many a£ts : he flew 
two lion like men of Moab ; alfo he went down and 
flew a lion in a pit in a fiiowy day. 

23 And lie flew an Egyptian, f a man of great flat- ***- tf 
ure, five cubits high : and in the Egyptian's hand was *«»"«■ 
a fpear like a weaver's beam ; and he went down to 

him with a ftaff, and plucked the fpear out of the 
Egyptian's hand, and flew him with his own fpear. 

24 Thefe things did Benaiah, the fon of Jehoiada, 
and had a name among the three mighties. 

25 Behold, he was honourable among the thirty, 
but attained not to the first three : and David fet him 
over his guard.

15 Thefe are they that went over Jordan in the 
firft month, when it had y overflown all his b banks - r 
and they put to flight all them of the rallies, both to- 
ward the eaft and toward the well. 

16 And there came of the children of Benjamin 
and Judah to the hold unto David. 

17 And David went out f to meet them, and an- 
fwered and laid unto them, If ye be come peaceably 
unto me to help me, mine heart fhall t be knit unto 
you : but if ye be come to betray me to mine enemies^ 
feeing there is no || wrong in mine hands, the God of 
our fathers look thereon, and rebuke iu 

18 Then f the fpirit came upon Amafai, who was 
chief of the captains, and he said, Thine are we, Da- 
vid, and on thy fide, thou fon of Jeffe : Peace, peace 
be unto thee, and peace be to thine helpers ; for thy 
God helpeth thee. Then David received them, and 
made them captains of the band. 

19 And there fell some ofManaffeh to David, when 
he came with the Philiftines againft Saul to battle, 
but they helped them not ; for the lords of the Phi-

of the thoulands that were ofManaffeh. 

21 And they helped David || againft the band of the

3 And let us | bring again the ark of our God to 
us ; for we inquired not at it in the days of Saul. 

4 And all the congregation laid that they would do 
fo ; for the thing was right in the eyes of all the people. 

5 So a David gathered all Ifrael together, from Shi- 
hor of Egypt, even unto the entering ofHemath, to 
bring the ark of God from Kirjathjearim. 

6 And David went up, and all Ifrael, to b Baalah, that 
is, to Kirjathjearim, which belonged to Judah, to bring 
up thence the ark of God the Lord, that-dwelleth 
bet-ween the cherubims, whole name is called on it. 

7 And they f carried the ark of God in a new cart 
out of the houfe of Abinaclab ; and Uzza and Ahio 
drave the cart. 

8 And David and all Ifrael played before God with 
all their might, and with t linging, and with harps, 
and with pfalteries, and with timbrels, and with cym- 
bals, and with trumpets. 

9 K And when they came unto the threfhlng floor 
of || Chidon, Uzza put forth his. hand to hold the ark ; 
for the oxen t Humbled. 

10 And the anger of the Lord was kindled againfl 
Uzza, and he fmote him,, c becaufe he put his hand 
to the ark : and there he died before GocL 

11 And David was difpleafed, becaufe the Lord 
had made a breach upon Uzza i wherefore that place 
is called || Perezuzza to this day.- 

12 And David was afraid of God that day, faying, 
How f hall I bring the ark of God home to me ? 

13 So David t brought not the ark home to himfelf 
to the city of David, but carried itaiide into the houfe 
of Obededom the Gittite.- 

14 And the ark of God remained with the family of 
Obededom in his houfe three months. And the Lord 
bleffed the d houfe of Obededom, and all that he had.

breaking forth of waters ; therefore, they called the 
name of that place || Baalperazim. 

12 And when they had left their gods there, David £&££. 
gave a commandment., and they were burnt with fire. 

13 And the Philiftines yet again fpread themfelves-

14 Therefore^ David inquired again of God : and 
God faid unto him, Go not up after them ; turn away 
front them , c and come upon them over againft the 
mulberry trees- 

15 And it fliall be, when thou fhait hear a found of 
going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou 
ffialt go out to battle : for God is gone forth before 
thee, to finite the hoft of the Philiftines. 

16 David, therefore, did as God commanded him : 
and they fmote the hoft of the Philiftines from Gibeon 
even to Gazer. 

17 And the fame of David went out into all lands ;■ 
and the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations. 

CHAP. XV.. 
1 David, having prepared a place for the ark, ordereth 
the priests and Levites to bring it from the house of 
Obededom. 25 The solemnity is attended by David 
and all Israel with great joy. 29 Michal despiseth 
him. 

AND David made him houfes in the city of David, 
and prepared a place for the ark of God, and 
pitched for it a tent.. 

2 Then David faid r f None ought to carry the a ark 
of God but the Levites : for them hath the Lord 
chofen to carry the ark of God, and to minifter unto Zf}i% 
him for ever.- 1^ 

3 And David gathered all Ifrael together to Jerufa- ♦*"' 
lem, to bring up the ark of the Lord unto his piace,. 
which he had prepared for it. 

4 And David affembled the children of Aaron, and 
the Levites..

brethren, fourfcore. 

10 Ofthefonsof Uz-ziel ; Amminadab the chief, 
and his brethren, an hundred and twelve. 

11 And David called for Zadok and Abiathar the 
priefls, and for the Levites; for Uriel, Afaiah, and 
Joel, Shemaiah, and Eliel, and Amminadab, 

12. And faid unto them. Ye are the chief of the fa-

as b Mofes commanded, according to the word of the 
Lord. 

16 And David fpake to the chief of the Levites, to 
appoint their brethren to be the fingers with inftru- 
mentsof mufic, pfalteries, and harps, and cymbals, 
founding, by lifting up the voice with joy. 

17 So the Levites appointed c Heman the fon of Jo- 
el ; and of his brethren, d Afaph the fon of Berechi- 
•ah ; and of the fons of Merari their brethren, e Ethan 
the fon of Kufhaiah : 

18 And with them their brethren of the fecond de- 
gree, Zechariah, Ben, and Jaaziel,andShemiramoth, 
and Jehiel, and Unni, Eliab, and Benaiah, and Maa- 
ieiah and Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah ; 
and Obededom, and Jeiel, the porters. 

19 So the fingers, Heman, Afaph, and Ethan, were 
appointed to found with cymbals of brafs ; 

20 And Zechariah, andAziel, and Shemjrarribth, 
and Jehiel, and Unni, and Eliab, and Maafeiah, and 
Benaiah, with pfalteries on Alamoth ; 

21 And Mattithiah, and Elipheleh, and Mikneiah, 
and Obededom, and Jeiel, and Azaziah, with harps 
Jl on the Sheminith, to excel. 

22 And Chenaniah, chief of the Levites, || was for 
f fong ; he inftructed about the long, becaufe he was 
fkilful. 

23 And Berechiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers 
for the ark, 

24 And Shebaniah, and Jehofhaphat, and Netha- 
neel, and Amafai, and Zechariah, and Benaiah, and 
Eliezer, the priefls, did blow with the trumpets be- 
fore the ark of God ,; and Obededom and Jehiah 
were door keepers for the ark. 

25 If So f David and the elders of Ifrael, and the 
captains ofefthoufands, went to bring up the ark of 
the covenant of the Lord out of the houie of Obed- 
edom with joy. 

26 And it came to pafs, when God helped the Le- 
vites that bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord, 
that they offered feven bullocks and feven rams. _ 

27 And David was clothed with a robe of fine linen, 
and all the Levites that bare the ark, and the fingers, 
and Chenaniah the matter of the || fong with the fing- 
ers ; David alio had upon him an ephod of linen. 

28 Thus all Ifrael brought up the ark of the cove- 
nant of the Lord with fh outing and with found of the 
cornet, and with trumpets, and with cymbals, mak- 
ing a noife with pfalteries and harps. 

29 HAnd it came to pafs, as the ark of the cove- 
nant of the Lord came to the city of David, that 
Michal the daughter of Saul, looking out at a win- 
dow, fawking David dancing and playing : and ihe 
defpifed him in her heart.

word of God came to Nathan, faying, 

4 Go and tell David my fervant,. Thus faith the 
Lord, Thou fhalt not build me an houfe to dwell in : 

5 For I have not dwelt in an houfe fince the day 
that I brought up Ifrael unto this day ; but t have gone 
from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another. 

6 Wherefoever I have walked with all Ifrael, fpakc 
I a word to any of the judges of Ifrael, whom I com- 
manded to feed my people, faying, Why have ye nol 
built me an houfe of cedars ? 

7 Now, therefore, thus fhalt thou fay unto my fer-

from the fheep cote, even ffrom following the fheep, 
that thou fhouldeft be ruler over my people Ifrael ;

9 Alfo I will ordain a place for my people Ifrael, chbjst 
and will plant them, and they fhall dwell in their place, ^J2£^ 
and fhall be moved no more ; neither fhall the chil- 
dren ofwickednefs wafte them anymore, as at the 
beginning, 

10 And fince the time that I commanded judges 
to be over my people Ifrael : moreover, I will fubdue 
all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the 
Lord will build thee an houfe. 

11 II And it fhall come to pafs, when thy days be 
expired, that thou mull go to be with thy fathers, that 
I will raife up thy feed after thee,, which fhall be of 
thy fons ; and I will eftablilh his kingdom. 

12 He fhall build me an houfe, and I will ftablifh 
his throne for ever. 

13 b I will be his father, and he fhall.be my fon ; 
and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I 
took it from him that was before thee : 

_ 14 But I will fettle him in mine houfe and in my 
kingdom for ever ; and his throne fhall be eftablifhed 
for evermore. 

15 According to all thefe words, and according to 
all this vifion, fo did Nathan fpeak unto David. 

16 If And David the king came and fat before the 
Lord, and faid, Who am I, O Lord God, and what 
is mine houfe, that thou haft brought me hitherto ? 

17 And yet this was a fmall thing in thine eyes, O 
God : for thou haft also fpoken of thy fervant's houfe 
for a great while to come, and haft regarded me ac- 
cording to the eftate of a man of high degree, O Lor d 
God. 

18 What can David speak'more to thee for the hon- 
our of thy fervant ? for thou knoweft thy fervant. 

19 O Lord, for thy fervant's fake, and according 
to thine own heart, haft thou done all this greatnefs r 
in making known all these f great things. 

20 O Lord, there is '.none like thee, neither is there i r f°Jl 
any god be fide thee, according to all that we have 
heard with our ears.. 

21" And what one nation in the earth is like thy 
people Ifrael, whom God went to redeem to be his own 
people, to make thee a name of greatnefs and terrible- 
nefs, by driving out nations from before thy people, 
whom thou halt redeemed out of Egypt ? 

22 For thy people Ifrael didft thou make thine own 
people for ever ; and thou , Lo r d , becameft their God : 

23 Therefore now, Lord, let the thing that thou 
haft fpoken concerning thy fervant, and concerning 
his houfe, be eftablifhed for ever,, and do as thou halt 
faid. 

24 Let it even be eftablifhed, that thy name may be 
magnified for ever, faying,. The Lord of hofts is the 
God of Ifrael, even a God to Ifrael : and let. the houfe

David? s officers. 

NOW after this a it came to pafs, that David fmote 
the Philiftines, and i'ubdued them and took 
Gath and her towns out of the hand of the Philiflines. 

2 And he fmote Moab ; and the Moabites became 
David's fervants, and brought gifts. 

3 % And David fmote || Hadarezer king of Zobah 
untoHamath, as he went to ftablifh his dominion by 
the river Euphrates. 

4 And David took from him a thousand chariots, 
and feven thoufand horfemen, and twenty thoufand 
footmen : David alfo houghed all the chariot horses, 
but rtferved of them an hundred chariots. 

5 And when the Syrians off Damafcus came to help 
Hadarezer king of Zobah, David flew of the Syrians 
two and twenty thoufand men. 

6 Then David put garrisons in Syriadamafcus; and 
the Syrians became David's fervants, and brought 
gifts. Thus the Lord preferved David whitherfoever 
hewent. 

7 And David took the ihields of gold that were on 
the fervants of Hadarezer, and brought them to Je- 
rufalem. 

8 Likewife from || Tibhath, and from Chun, cities 
of Hadarezer, brought David very much brafs, where- 
with b Solomon made the brafen fea, and the pillars, 
and the veffels of brafs. 

9 % Now, when || Tou, king of Hamath, heard how 
David had fmitten all the holt of Hadarezer king of 
Zobah. 

10 Hefent || Hadoram his fon to king David, to fj in- 
quire of his welfare, and to f congratulate him, becaufe 
he had fought againft Hadarezer, and fmitten him : 
(for Hadarezer f had war with Tou ;) and with him 
all manner of veffels of gold, and filver, and brafs. 

11 Them alfo king David dedicated unto the Lord, 
with the filver and the gold that he brought from all 
these nations ; from Edom, and from Moab, and from 
the children of Amnion, and from the Philiftines, and 
from Amalek. 

12 Moreover, Abifhai the fon of Zeruiah flew of 
the Edomites in the valley of Salt eighteen thoufand. 

13 If And he put garriibns in Edom ; and all the 
Edomites became David's fervents. Thus the Lord 
preferved David whitherfoever he went. 

14 II So David reigned over all Ifrael, and execut- 
ed judgment and juftice among all his people. 

15 And Joab the fon of Zeruiah was over the hod, 
and Jehofhaphat the fon of Ahilud || recorder ; 

16 And Zadok the fon of Ahitub, and || Abimelech 
the fon of Abiathar, were thepriefts ; and || Shavfha

1 David's messengers sent to comfort Hanun for his 
father's death, are disgracefully treated. 6 The 
Ammonites, strengthened by the Syrians, are over- 
come by Joab and Abishai. 16 Hadarezer, sending 
a new army under Shophach, is defeated by David, 
pnd their general slain, &c. 



I. CHRONICLES. The Ammonites^ &c. overcome by Joab, &c< 
T OW p - it came to pafs after this, that Nahafh the 



king of the children of Amnion died ; and his 
Ion reigned in his Head, 

2 And David faid, I will (hew kindnefs unto H 

the fon of Nahafh, becaufe his father fliewed kindnefs 
to me. And David fent meffengers to comfort hint 
concerning his father. So the fen-ants of David came 
into the land of the children of Ammon to Hanun, to 
comfort him. 

3 But the princes of the children of Ammon faid 
to Hanun, f Thinkeft thou that David doth honour 
thy father, that he hath fent comforters unto thee ? 
are not his fervants come unto thee for to fearch, and 
to overthrow, and to fpy out the land : 

4 Wherefore Hanun took David's fervants, and 
fliaved them, and cut off their, garments in the midft, 
hard by their buttocks s and fent them away. 

5 Then there went certain, and told David how the 
men were ferved : and he fent to meet them ; (for the 
men were greatl}' afhamed ;) and the king £ rid, Tarry 
at Jerichountil your beards be grown, and then return. 

6 IF And when the children of Amnion faw that 
they had made themfehes t odious to David, Hanun 
and the children of Ammon fent a thoufand talents of 
filver to hire them chariots and horfemen out of Mefo- 
potamia, and out of Syriamaachah, and out of Zobah. 

7 So they hired thirty and two thoufand chariots, 
and the king of Maachah and his people ; who came 
and pitched before Medeba. And the children of 
Ammon gathered themfelves together from their cities, 
and came to battle. 

8 And when David heard of it he fent Joab, and all 
the hoft of the mighty men. 

9 And the children of Ammon came out, and put 
the battle in array before the gate of the city ; and the 
kings that were come ivere by themfelves in the field. 

10 Now when Joab faw that t the battle was fet 
againft him before and behind, he chofe out of all the 
H choice oflfrael, and put them in array againft the 
Syrians. 

11 And the reft of the people he delivered unto 
the hand off Abifhai his brother, and they fet tfiem- 
selves in array againft the children of Ammon. 

12 And he faid, If the Syrians be too ftrong for me, 
then thou fhalt help me : but if the children of Am- 
mon be too ftrong for thee, then I will help thee. 

13 Be of good courage, and let us behave ourfelves 
valiantly for our people, and for the cities of our God ; 
and let the Lord do that which is good in his fight. 

14 So Joab, and the people that ivere with him, 
drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle ; and 
they fled before him. 

15 And when the children of Ammon faw that the 
Syrians, were fled, they likewife fled before Abifhai 
his brother, and entered into the city. Then Joab 
came to Jerufalem. 

16 If And when the Syrians faw that they were put 
to the worfe before Ifrael, they fent meffengers, and 
drew forth the Syrians that were beyond the || river ; 
and || Shophach, the captain of the hoft of Hadarezer, 
went before them. 

17 And it was told David ; and he gathered all If- 
rael* and paffed over Jordan, and came upon them, 
and fet the battle in array_ againft them. So when Da-

1 Ro.bbah is besieged by Joab, spoiled by David,_ and 

the people thereof tortured. 4 Three giants slain. 

AN D a it came to pafs, that f after the year was 
expired, at the time that kings go out to battle, 
Joab led forth the power of the army, and wafted the 
country of the children of Ammon, and came and 
befieged Rabbah ; (but David tarried at Jertifalem ;) 
and Joab fmote Rabbah, and deftroyed it. 

2 And David b took the crown of their king from 
off his head, and found it t to weigh a talent of gold, 
and there were precious ftones in it ; and it was fet 
upon David's head : and he brought alfo exceeding 
much fpoil out of the city. 

3 And he brought out the people that were in it, 
and cut them with faws, and with harrows of iron, 
and with axes : even fo dealt David with all the cities 
of the children of Ammon. And David and all the 
people returned to Jerufalem. 

4 IF And it came to pafs after this, c that there 
|] f arofe war at || Gezer with the Philiftines ; at which 
time Sibbechai the Hulhathite flew Sippai, that was of 
the children of || the giant ; and they were fubdued. 

5 And there was war again with the Philiftines ; and 
Elhanan the fon of il Jair flew Lahmi. the brother of 
Goliath theGittite, whole fpear's flaff was like a weav- 
er's beam. 

6 And yet again A there was war at Gath, where 
was f a man of great ftature, whole fingers and toes 
w\ j re four and twenty, fix on each hand, and fix on 
each foot : and he alfo was t the fon of the giant. 

7 But when he || defied Ifrael, Jonathan the fon of

8 Thefe were born unto the giant in Gath ; and 
they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand of his 
fervants.

1 David, tempted by Satan, f or ceth Joab to number the

pestilence. Y^After the death of seventy thousand, 16 
David, on sight of the angel, inter cedeth for the peo-

Godgiveth a sign of his favour, &?c. 

AND a Satan flood up again ft Ifrael, and provoked 
David to number Ifrael. 

2 And David faid to Joab, and to the rulers of the 
people, Go, number Ifrael, from Beerlheba even to 
Dan ; and bring the number of them to me, that I 
may know it.

Joab : wherefore Joab departed, and went through- 
out all Ifrael, and came to Jerufalem. 

5 II And Joab gave the fum of the number of the 
people unto David. And all t/iey o/Ifrael were a thou- 
iand thoufand and an hundred thoufand men that drew 
fword : and Judah was four hundred threefcore and 
ten thoufand men that drew fword. 

6 But Levi and Benjamin counted he not among 
them ; for the king's word was abominable to Joab. 

7 ff f And God was difplcafed with this thing ; 
therefore he fmote Ifrael. 

8 And David faid unto God, b I have finned greatly, 
becaufe I have done this thing : but now, I befeech 
thee, do away the iniquity of thy fervant ; for I have 241'°'-

1 1 So Gad came to David, and faid unto him, Thus

12 Either three years' famine; or three months to be t0 "' ee 
deftroyed before thy foes, while that the fword of 
thine enemies overtaketh thee ; or elfe three days the 
fword of the Lord, even the peftilence, in the land, 
and the angel of the Lord deftroying throughout all 
the coafts of Ifrael. ^ Now, therefore, advife thyfelf 
what word I fhall bring again to him that fent me. 

13 And David faid unto Gad, I am in a great ftrait i 
let me fall now into the hand of the Lord ; for very 
|| great are his mercies ; but let me not fall into the 
hand of man. 

14 II So the Lord fent peftilence upon Ifrael : and 
there fell of Ifrael feventy thoufand men. 

15 And God fent an e angel unto Jerufalem to de- 
ftroy it; and, as he was deftroying, the Lord beheld, 
and he repented him of the evil, and faid to the angel 
that deftroyed, It is enough ; flay now thine hand. 
And the angel of the Lord flood by the threfhing 
floor of || Oman the Jebufite. 

16 IT And David lifted up his eyes, and faw the angel fi""lf 
of the Lord Hand between the earth and the heaven, 2 * lB - 
having a drawn fword in his hand ftretched out over 
Jerufalem : then David and the elders of Israel, who 
were clothed in fackcloth, fell upon their faces. 

17 And David faid unto God, Is it not I that com- 
manded the people to be numbered ? even I it is that 
have finned and done evil indeed ; but as for thefe 
fheep, whathavethey clone? Letthinehand, Ipray thee, 
O Lord my God, be on me, and on my father's houfe ; 
but not on thy people, that they fhould be plagued. 

18 If Then d the angel of the Lord commanded d2Chron; 
Gad to fay to David, that David fhould go up, and 3 '* 

fet up an altar unto the Lord in the threfhing floor 
of Oman the Jebufite. 

19 And David went up at the faying of Gad, which 
he fpake in the name of the Lord. 

20 || And Oman turned back, and faw the angel ; 
and his four fons with him hid themfelves. Now Or-

2 1 And as David came to Oman , Oman looked and 
faw David, and went out of the threfhing floor, and *&»*$ 
bowed himfclf to David with his face to the ground.

23 And Oman laid unto David, Take it to thee, and 
let my Loud, the king do that 'which is. good in his 
eyes : lo, I give thee the oxen also for burnt offerings, 
and the threihing inftruments for ■wood, and the 
wheat for the meat offering ; I give it all. 

24 And king David faid to Oman, Nay ; but I will 
verily buy it for the full price ; for I will not take 
that which is thine for the Lord, nor offer burnt 
offerings without coil. 

25 So e David gave to Oman for the place fix hun- 
dred fhekels of gold by weight. 

26 And David built there an altar unto the Lord, 
and offered burnt offerings and peace offerings, and 
called upon the Lord ; and he anfwered him from 
heaven by fire upon the altar of burnt offering. 

27 And the Lord commanded the angel ; and he 
put up his fword again into the Iheath thereof. 

28 II At that time, when David law that the Lord 
had anfwered him in the threihing floor of Oman the 
Jebufite, then he facriiiced there. 

29 (For the tabernacle of the Lord, which Mofes 
made in the wildernefs, and the altar of the burnt of- 
fering, mere at that feafon in the high place at f Gibeon. 

30 But David could not go before it to inquire of 
God : for he was afraid, becaufe of the fword of the 
angel of the Lord.) 

CHAP. XXIL 
1 David, foreknowing the place of the temple, maketh 
large preparations for we building of it : 6 he in- 
structeth Solomon in God's promises made to him, 
and his duty in building the house : 17 his charge 
to the princes. 

THEN David faid, This is the houfe of the Lord 
God, and this is the altar of the burnt offering 
for Ifrael. 

2 And David commanded to gather together the 
grangers that mere in the land of Ifrael ; and he fet ma- 
fons to hew wrought ftones to build the houfe of God. 

3 And David prepared iron in abundance for the 
nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings, 
and brafs in abundance without weight ; 

4 Alio cedar trees in ^abundance : for the Zido- 
nians, and they of Tyre, brought much cedar wood to 
David. 

5 And David faid, a Solomon my fon is young and 
tender, and the houfe that is to be builded for the 
Lord must be exceeding magnificat, of fame and of 
glory throughout all -countries : I will therefore now 
make preparation for it. So David prepared abun- 
dantly before his death. 

6 If Then he called for Solomon his fon, and charg- 
ed him to build an houfe for the Lord God of Ifrael. 

7 And David faid to Solomon, My fon, as forme, 
it was in my mind to build an houfe unto the name of 
the Lord my God : 

8 But the word of the Lord came to me faying, 
h Thou hail fhed blood abundantly, and hail made 
great wars ; thou fhalt not build an houfe unto my 
name, becaufe thou haft fhed much blood upon the 
earth in my light. 

9 Behold, a fon fhall be born to thee, who (hall 
be a man of reft; and I will give him reft from all 
his enemies round about : for his name fhall be || Sol- 
omon ; and I will give peace and quietnefs unto Ifrael 
in his days.

he not given you reft on every fide ? for he hath given 
the inhabitants of the land into mine hand ; and the

19 Now fet your heart and your foul to feek the

therefore they were in one reckoning, according to 
their father's houfe. 

12 H The fons of Kohath ; Amram, Izhar, He-

13 The fons 01 e Amram ; Aaron and Mofes : and 
f Aaron was feparated, that he fhould fanclify the molt 
holy things, he and his fons for, ever, to burn incenfe 
before the Lord, to minifter unto him, and to blefs 
in his name for ever. 

14 Now, concerning Mofes the man of God, his 
fons were named of the tribe of Levi. 

15 s The fons of Mofes were Gerlhomand Eliezer. 

16 Of the fons of Gerfhom, Shebuel was the chief.

24 "if Thefe were the fons of l Levi after the houfe of

3 And David diftribn ted them, both Zadok of the 
fons of Eleazar, and Ahimelech of the fons of Itha- 
mar, according to their offices in their fervice. 

" 4 And there were more chief men found of the 
fons of Eleazar than of the fons of Ithamar ; and thus 
were they divided. Among the fons of Eleazar there 
were iixteen chief men of the houfe of their fathers, 
and eight among the fons of Ithamar, according to the 
houfe of their fathers. 

5 Thus were they divided by lot, one fort with 
another ; for the governors of the fanciuary, and gov- 
ernors of the house of God, were of the fons of Elea- 
zar, and of the fons of Ithamar. 

6 And Shemaiah the ion of Nethaneel the fcribe, 
one of the Levites, wrote them before the king, and

FURTHERMOPyE, David the king laid unto all 
the congregation, Solomon my fon,. whom alone 
God hath chofen, is yet a young and tender, and the 
work is great : for the palace is. not for man, but for 
the Lord God. 

2 Now, I have prepared with all my might for the 
houfe of my God, the gold for things to be. made of 
gold, and the filver for things of filver, and the brafs for 
things of brafs, the iron for things of iron, and wood 
for things of wood ; onyx ftones, and stones to be let, 
gliftering ftones, and of divers colours, and all manner 
of precious ftones, and marble Hones in abundance. 

3 Moreover, becaufe I have fet my affection to the 
houfe of my God, I have of mine own proper good, 
of gold and filver. which I have given to the houfe of 
my God, over and above all that I have prepared for 
the holy houfe, 

4 Even three thoufand talents of gold, of the gold 
of b Ophir, and (even thoufand talents of refined filver, 
to overlay the walls of the houfes withal. 

5 The gold for things of gold, and the. filver for 
things of lilver, and for all manner of work to be made 
by the hands of artificers. And who then is willing 
f to confecrate his fervice this day unto the Lord ? 

6 If Then the chief of the fathers, and princes of the 
tribes of Ifrael, and the captains of thoufands and of 
hundreds, with the rulers over the king's work, offer- 
ed willingly, 

7 And gave for the fervice of -the houfe of God, of 
gold, five thoufand talents, and ten thoufand drams ; 
and of filver, ten thoufand talents ; and of brafs, eigh- 
teen thoufand talents ; and one hundred thoufand tal- 
ents of iron. 

8 And they with whom precious ftones were found, 
gave them to the treafure of the-houfe of the Lord, by 
the hand of Jehiel the Gerfhonite. 

9 Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered 
willingly, becaufe with perfect heart they offered will- 
ingly to the Lord : and David the king alfo rejoiced 
with great joy. 

10 IT Wherefore, David blefled the Lord before all

15 For d vve are ftrangers before thee, and fojourn-

thefe things : and now have I feen with joy thy people 
which are || prefent here, to offer willingly unto thee : 

18 OLord God of Abraham, Ifaac, and_ of Ifrael, 
our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of 
the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and ||. prepare 
their heart unto thee : 

19 And give unto Solomon my fon a perfect heart,- 
to keep thy commandments, thy teftimonies, and thy 
ftatutes, and to do all these things, and to build the 
palace, for the which I have made provifion. 

20 *i\ And David faid to all the congregation, Now 
blefs the Lord your God. _ And all the congregation 
bleffed the Lord God of their fathers, and bowed down 
their heads, and worfhipped the Lord and the king. 

21 And they facrifieed facrifices unto the Lord, and 
offered burnt offerings unto the Lord on the morrow 
after that day, even a thoufand bullocks, a thoufand 
rams, and a thoufand lambs, with their drink offerings, 
and facrifices in abundance for all Ifrael ; 

22 And did eat and drink before the Lord on -that 
day with great gladnefs ; and they made Solomon the 
fon of David king the fecond time, and s anointed him 
unto the Lord to be the chief governor, and Zadok to 
be prieft. 

23 If Then Solomon fat on the throne of the Lord 
as king inftead of David his father, and profpered ; 
and all Ifrael obeyed him. 

24 And all the princes, and the mighty men, and 
all the Ions like wife of king David, f fubmitted them- 
felves unto Solomon the king. 

25 And the Lord magnified Solomon exceedingly Solc """ u 
in the fight of all Ifrael, and h bellowed upon him such b 1 Kings 
royal majefty as had not been on any king before him 
in Ifrael. 

26 If Thus David the fon of Jeffe reigned over all 
Ifrael. 

27. And the time that he reigned over Ifrael was 
forty years ; feven years reigned he in Hebron, and 
thirty and three years reigned he in Jerufalem. 

28 And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches., 
and honour : and Solomon his fon reigned in his Head. 

29 Now the acts of David the king, firft and laft, 
behold, they are written in the || f book of Samuel the 
leer, :xnd m the book of Nathan the prophet, and in 
the book of Gad the feer, 

30 With all his reign and his might, and the times

4 c But the ark of God had David brought up from 
Kirjathjearim to the place which David had prepared 
for it : for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerufalem. 

5 Moreover, d the brafen altar that Bezaleel the fon 
of Uri, the fon of Hur, had made, || he put before the 
tabernacle of the Lord ; and Solomon and the con- 
gregation fought unto it. 

6 And Solomon went up thither to the brafen altar 
before the Lord, which was at the tabernacle of the 
congregation, and offered a thou land burnt offerings 
upon it. 

7 II In that night did God appear unto Solomon, 
and faid unto him, Afk what I fhall give thee. 

8 And Solomon faid unto God, Thou haft fhewed 
great mercy unto David my father, and haft made me 
e to reign in his ftead. 

9 Now, OLord God, let thy promife unto David 
my father be eftabliihed ; f for thou haft made me king 
over a people f like the cluft of the earth in multitude. 

the eanh. ' 10 g Give me now wifdom and knowledge, that I 
L^um.?? 3 !?' may h go out and come in before this people : for who 
can judge this thy people that is so great : 

11 And God faid to Solomon, Becaufe this was in 
thine heart, and thou haft not afked riches, wealth, or 
honour, nor the life of thine enemies, neither yet haft 
afked long life ; but haft afked wifdom and knowledge 
for thyftlf, that thou mayeft judge my people, over 
whom I have made thee king : 

12 Wifdom and knowledge is granted unto thee ; 
and I will give thee riches, and wealth, and honour, 
fuch as ; none of the kings have had that have beenbe- 
fore thee, neither fhall there any after thee have the like. 

13 TI Then Solomon came /rem his journey to the 
high place that was at Gibeon to Jerufalem, from be- 
fore the tabernacle of the congregation, and reigned 
over Ifrael. 

14 k And Solomon gathered chariots and horfemen : 
and he had a thoufand and four hundred chariots, and 
twelve thouiand horfemen, which he placed in the 
chariot cities, and with the king at Jerufalem. 

15 l And the king f made filver and gold at Jerufalem 
as plenteous as ftones, and cedar trees made he as the 
fycamore trees that are in the vale for abundance. 

16 m And f Solomon had horfes brought out of 
Egypt, and linen yarn : the king's merchants received 
the linen yarn at a price.

1, 17 Solomon 's labourers for the building of the tem-

AND Solomon determined to build an houfe for the 
name of the Lord, and an houfe for his kingdom. 

2 And Solomon told out threefeore and ten thou- 
fand men to bear burdens, and fburfcore thoufand to 
hew in the mountain, and three thoufand and fix hun- 
dred to overfee them. 

3 II And Solomon fent to || Huram the king of Tyre, 
faying, As thou didft deal with David my father, and 
clidft fend him cedars to build him an houfe to dwell 
therein, even so deal with me. 

4 Behold, I build an houfe to the name of the Lord 
my God, to dedicate^ to him, and to burn before 
him t fweet incenfe,-and for the continual lliewbread, 
and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on 
the fabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the folemn 
feafts of the Lord our God. This is an ordinance for 
ever to Ifrael. 

5 And the houfe which I build is great ; for great 
is our God above all gods. 

6 a But who t is able to build him an houfe, feeing 
the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him ? 
whom am I then, that I ihould build him an houfe, 
fave only to burn facrifice before him ? 

7 Send me now, therefore, a man cunning to work 
in gold, and in filver, and in brafs, and in iron, and in 
purple and crimfon, and blue, and that can fkill f to 
grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah 
and in Jerufalem, whom David my father did provide. 

8 Send me alfo cedar trees, fir trees, and || algum 
trees out of Lebanon : (for I know that thy fervants 
can fkill to cut timber in Lebanon :) and, behold, my 
fervants shall be with thy fervants, 

9 Even to prepare me timber in abundance : for 
the houfe which I am about to build shall be % won- 
derful great. 

10 And, behokh I will give to thy fervants, the 
hewers that cut timber, twenty thoufand meafures of 
beaten wheat, and twenty thouiand meafures of barley, 
and twenty thoufand baths of wine, and twenty thou- 
fand baths of oil. 

1 1 TThen Huram the king of Tyre anfwered in writ- 
ing, which he fent to Solomon; Becaufe the Lord hadi 
loved his people, he hath made thee king over them. 

12 Huram faid moreover, Bleffed be the Lord God 
of Ifrael, that made heaven and earth, who hath given 
to David the king a wife fon, f endued with prudence 
and underftanding, that might build an houfe for the 
Lord, and an houfe for his kingdom. 

13 And now I have fent a cunning man, endued 
with underftanding, of Huram my father's ; 

14 The fon of a woman of the daughters of Dan, 
and his father was a man of Tyre, fldlful to work in

THEN a Solomon began to build the houfe of the 
Lord at Jerufalem, in mount Moriah, || where 
the LORD appeared unto David his father, in the 
place that David had prepared in the threfhing floor 
of || b Oman the Jebufite.^ 

2 And he began to build in the fecond day of the 
fecond month, in the fourth year of his reign. 

3 If Now thefe are the things c wherein Solomon was 
f inftructed for the building of the houle of God : The 
length by cubits, after the firft meaiure, was threefcore 
cubits, and the breadth twenty cubits. 

4 And the d porch that was in the front of the house, 
the length of it was according to the breadth of the 
houfe, twenty cubits, and the height was an hundred 
and twenty : and he overlaid it within with pure gold. 

5 And the greater houfe he ceiled with fir tree, 
which lie overlaid with fine gold, and fet thereon palm 
trees and chains. 

6 And he f garnifhed the houfe with precious ftones 
for beauty ; and the gold was gold of Parvaim. 

7 He overlaid alfo the houfe, the beams, the pofts, 
and the walls thereof, and the doors thereof, with gold ; 
and graved cherubims on the walls. 

8 If And he made the moil holy houfe, the length 
whereof was according to the breadth of the houle, 
twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, 
and he overlaid it with fine gold, amounting to fix 
hundred talents. 

9 And the weight of the nails was fifty fhekels of 
gold. And he overlaid the upper chambers with gold. 

• 10 And in the moll holy houfe he made two cheru- 
bims || of image work, and overlaid them with gold. 

11 And the wings of the cherubims were twenty 
cubits long : one wing of the one cherub was five cu- 
bits, reaching to the wall of die houfe ; and the other 
wing was likewise five cubits, reaching to the wing of 
the other cherub. 

_ 12 And one wing of the other cherub was five cu- 
bits, reaching to the wall of the houfe ; and the other 
wing xvas five cubits also, joining to the wing of the 
other cherub. 

2Q 



13 The wings of thefe cherubims fpread themfelves 
forth twenty cubits : and they Hood on their feet, and 
their faces were || inward. 

14 If And he made the e veil of blue, and purple, 
and crimfon, and fine linen, and \ wrought cherubims 
thereon. 

15 Tf Alfo he made before the houfe f two pillars of 
thirty and five cubits f high, and the chapiter that was 
on the top of each of them was five cubits. 

16 And he made chains, as in the oracle, and put 
them on the heads of the pillars ; and made an hun- 
dred pomegranates, and put them on the chains. 

17 And he g reared up the pillars before the temple, 
one on the right hand, and the other on the left ; and 
called the name of that on the right hand || Jachin ; and 
the name of that on the left || Boaz. 

C H A P. IV. 

1 The altar of brass. 2 The molten sea supported by 
twelve oxen. 6 The ten lavers, candlesticks, and ta- 
bles. 9 The two courts. 11 The vessels and instru- 
ments of brass. 19 The vessels, furniture, and in- 
struments of gold. 

MOREOVER he made an altar of brafs, twenty 
cubits the length thereof, and twenty cubits the 
breadth thereof, and ten cubits the height thereof. 

2 ff a Alfo he made a molten fea, of ten cubits t from 
brim to brim, round in compafs, and five cubits the 
height thereof; and aline of thirty cubits did compafs 
it round about. 

3 b And under it was the fimiiitude of oxen, which 
did compafs it round about ; ten in a cubit, compaffing 
the fea round about. Two rows of oxen were call 
when it was caft. 

4 It Hood upon twelve oxen, three looking toward 
the north, and three looking toward the weft, and 
three looking toward the fouth, and three looking 
toward the eaft ; and the fea was set above upon them, 
and all their hinder parts were inward. 

5 And the thicknefs of it was an handbreaclth, and 
the brim of it like the work of the brim of a cup, || with 
flowers of lilies ; and it received and held three thou- 
fand baths. 

6 "if He made alfo ten lavers, and put five on the right 
hand, and five on the left, to wafli in them: ffuch things 
as they offered for the burnt offering they wafhed in 
them ; but the fea was for the priefts to wafli in. 

7 And he made ten candlefticks of gold, according 
to their form, and fet them in the temple, five on the 
right hand, and five on the left. 

8 He made alfo ten tables, and placed them in the 
temple, five on the right fide, and five on the left : and 
he made an hundred || bafons of gold. 

9 IT Furthermore, he made the court of the priefts, 
and the great court, and doors for the court, and over- 
laid the doors of them with brafs. 

10 And he fet the fea on the right fide of the eafl 
end, over againfl the fouth. 

1 1 If And Huram made the pots, and the fhovels, and 
the !| bafons. And Huram f finilhed the work that he 
was to make for king Solomon for the houfe of God ; 

12 To wit, the two pillars, and the pommels, and 
the chapiters which were on the top of the two pillars, 
and the two wreaths to cover the two pommels of the 
chapiters which were on the top of the pillars ;

15 One fea, and twelve oxen under it : 

16 The pots alfo, and the fhovels, and the flefh

make to king Solomon, for the houfe of the Lord, of 
f bright brafs. 

17 In the plain of Jordan did the king call them, in 
the f clay ground between Succoth and Zeredathah. 

18 Thus Solomon made all thefe veffels in great 
abundance : for the weight of the brafs could not be 
found out. 

19 If And Solomon made all the veffels that ivere 
for the houfe of God, the golden altar alfo, and the 
tables whereon the fhew bread was set ; 

20 Moreover, the candlefticks with their lamps, 
that they fhould burn after the manner before the ora-

in all the things that David his father had dedicated ; 
and the filver, and the gold, and all the inflruments., 
put he among the treafures of the houfe of God. 

2 If b Then Solomon affembled the elders of Ifrael, 
and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers 
of the children of Ifrael, unto Jerufalem, to bring up 
the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of 
David, which is Zion. 

3 Wherefore all the men of Ifrael affembled them- 
felves unto the king in the feaft which was in the fev- 
enth month. 

4 And all the elders of Ifrael came ; and the Levites 
took up the ark. 

5 And they brought up the ark and the tabernacle 
of the congregation ; and all the holy veffels that were 
in the tabernacle, thefe did the priefls and the Levites 
bring up. 

6 Alio king Solomon, and all the congregation of 
Ifrael that were affembled unto him before the ark, 
facrificed fheep and oxen, which could not be told nor 
numbered for multitude. 

7 And the priefts brought in the ark of the covenant 
of the Lord unto his place, to the oracle of the houfe, 
into the moft holy place, even under the wings of the 
cherubims : 

8 For the cherubims fpread forth their wings over 
the place of the ark, and the cherubims covered the 
ark and the flaves thereof above. 

9 And they drew out the ftaves of the ark, that the

fumed the burnt offering and the facrifices ; and the 
glory of the Lord filled the houfe. 

2 And the prieits could not enter into the houfe of 
the Lord, becaufe the glory of the Lord had filled 
the Lord's houfe. 

3 And when all the children of Ifrael faw how the 
fire came down, and the glory of the Lord, upon the 
houfe, they bowed themfelves with their faces to the 
ground upon the pavement, and worfhipped, and 
praifed the Lord, saying , for he is good ; for his mer- 
cy endureth for ever. 

4 If Then the king and all the people offered facri- 
fices before the Lord. 

5 And king Solomon offered a facrifice of twenty 
and two thouiand oxen, and an hundred and twenty 
thoufand fheep. So the king and all the people dedi- 
cated the houfe of God. 

6 c And the priefts waited on their offices ; the Le- 
vitesalfo with inflruments of mulick of the Lord, 
which David the king had made to praife the Lord, 
becaufe his mercy endureth for ever, when David 
praifed t by their miniihy ; and the priefts founded 
trumpets before them, and all Ifrael flood. _ 

7 Moreover, Solomon hallowed the middle of the 
court that was before the houfe of the Lord : for 
there he offered burnt offerings, and the fat of the 
peace offerings, becaufe the brafen altar which Solo- 
mon had made was not able to receive the burnt of- 
ferings, and the meat offerings, and the fat. 

8 If Alfo at the fame time Solomon kept the feaft 
feven days, and all Ifrael with him, a very great con 



gregation from the entering in of Hamath unto d the 
river of Egypt. 

9 And in the eighth day they made f a folemn 
affembly : for they kept the dedication of the altar 
feven days, and the fealt feven days. 

10 And on the three and twentieth day of the fev- 
enth month, he fent the people away into their tents, 
glad and merry in heart, for the goodnefs that the 
Lord had fhewed unto David, and to Solomon, and 
to Ifrael his people. 

1 1 Thus e Solomon finifhed the houfe of the Lord, 
and the king's houfe ; and all that came into Solomon's 
heart to make in the houfe of the Lord, and in his 
own houfe, he profperoufly effected. 

12 If And the Lor d appeared to Solomon by night, 
and laid unto him, I have heard thy prayer, f and have 
chofen this place to myfelf for an houfe of facrifice. 

13 If I fhut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I 
command the locufts to devour the land, or if I fend 
peftilence among my people ; 

14 If my people f which are called by my name, 
fhall humble themfelves, and pray, and feek my face, 
and turn from their wicked ways ; then will I hear 
from heaven, and will forgive their fin, and will heal 
their land. 

15 Now e mine eyes fhall be open, and mine ears 
attent t unto the prayer that is made in this place. 

16 For now have h I chofen and fan£\ified this 
houfe, that my name may be there for ever : and mine 
eyes and mine heart lhall be there perpetually. 

17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, 
as David thy father walked, and do according to all 
that I have commanded thee, and fhalt obferve my 
ftatutes and my judgments ; 

18 Then will I eftablifh the throne of thy kingdom. 



The Canaanltes made tributaries* 

according as I have covenanted with David thy father, 
faying, » t There fhall not fail thee a man to be ruler 
in Ifrael.

20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of ^ ev * 
my land which I have given them; and this houfe, o^t 
which I have fanclified for my name, will I call out 2 '* 
of my light, and will make it to be a proverb and a 
byword among all nations. 

21 And this houfe, which is high, fhall be anafton- 
ifhment to every one that paffeth by it ; fo that he 
lhall fay, * Why hath the Lord done thus unto this * D ™~. 
land, and unto this houfe ? 

22 And it fhall be anfwered, Becaufe they forfook 
the Lord God of their fathers, which brought them 
forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other 
gods, and worfhipped them, and ferved them ; there- 
lore hath he brought all this evil upon them.

1 The cities which Solomon built. 7 The Canaanites 
left in the land are made subject to tribute ; but the 
Israelites to honourable employments. 1 1 Pharaolfs 
daughter removeth to her house. 12 Solomon' s daily 
and festival sacrifices : 14 he appointeth the priests 
and Levites to their charges : 17 his navy fetchetb 
gold from Ophir. 

ND a it came to pafs, at the end of twenty years, 
wherein Solomon had built the houfe of the 
Lord, and his own houfe, 

2 That the cities which Huram had reftored to Sol- 
omon, Solomon built them, and caufed the children 
of Ifrael to dwell there. 

3 And Solomon went to Hamathzobah, and pre- 
vailed again fc it. 

4 And he built Tadmor in the wildernefs, and all 
the flore cities which he built in Hamath. 

5 Alfo he built Bethhoron the upper, and Bethhoron 
the nether, fenced cities, with walls, gates, and bars; 

6 And Baalath, and all the ftore cities that Solo- 
mon had, and all the chariot cities, and the cities of 

the horfemen, and f all that Solomon defired to build tHeb. 
in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and throughout all the %sUv 
land of his dominion. ™S*« 

7 HAs for all the people that -were left of the Hit- £**» 
tites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the 
Hivites, and the Jebufrtes, which were not of Ifrael, _ 

8 But of their children who were left after them in 
the land, whom the children of Ifrael confirmed not, 
them did Solomon make to pay tribute until this day. 

9 But of the children of Ifrael did Solomon make 
no fervants for his work ; but they were men of -war, 
and chief of his captains, and captains of his chariots 
and horfemen. 

10 And thefe were the chief of king Solomon's 
officers, even two hundred and fifty, that bare rule 
over the people. 

11 If Arid Solomon b brought up the daughter of "'^ 
Pharaoh out of the city of David unto the houfe that ? 8 - 

he had built for her ; for he faid, My wife fhall not 
dwell in the houfe of David king of Ifrael, becaufe 
the places are t holy, whereunto the ark of the Lord £»**

required ; the f porters alfo by their courfes at every

15 And they departed not from the commandment 
of the king unto the priefts and Levites, concerning 
any matter, or concerning the treafures. 

16 If Now all the work of Solomon was prepared 
unto the day of the foundation of the houfe of the 
Lord, and until it was nnifhed : so the houfe of the 
Lord was perfected. 

17 If Then went Solomon to Eziongeber, and to 
Eloth, at the fea fide, in the land of Edom. 

18 And Huram fent him, by the hands of hisfer- 
vants, ihips, and fervants that had knowledge of the 
fea; and they went with the feryantsof Solomon to 
Ophir, and took thence four hundred and fifty talents 
of gold, and brought them to king Solomon. 

C H A P. IX. 
1 The queen of Sheba' 's visit to Solomon; her admiration 
of his wisdom. 13 Solomon'' s yearly revenue in gold : 
15 his targets: 17 bis throne of ivory: 20 hisvessels : 
23 his presents: 25 his chariots and horses : 26 his 
wealth and dominion : 29 his reign and death : Re- 
hoboam succecdetb him. 

AND a when the queen of Sheba heard of the fame 
of Solomon, fhe came to prove Solomon with 
hard queftions at Jerufalem, with a very great com- 
pany, and camels that bare fpices, and gold in abun- 
dance, and precious ftones ; and, when fhe was come 
to Solomon, fhe communed with him of all that was 
in her heart. 

2 And Solomon told her all her queftions ; and there 
was nothing hid from .Solomon which he told her not. 

3 And when the queen of Sheba had feen the wif- 
dom of Solomon, and the houfe that he had built, 

4 And the meat of his table, and the fitting of his 
fervants, and the attendance of his minifters, and their 
apparel ; his ]| cupbearers alfo, and their apparel ; and 
his afeent by which he went up into the houfe of the 
Lord ; there was no more fpirit in her. 

5 And fhe faid to the king, It was a true f report 
which I heard in mine own land of thine || acls, and 
of thy wifciom : 

6 Howbeit, I believed not their words until I came, 
and mine eyes had feen it ; and, behold, the one half 
of the greatnefs of thy wifdom was not told me : for 
thou exceedeft the fame that I heard. 

7 Happy are thy men, and happy are thefe thy 
fervants, which ftand continually before thee, and 
hear thy wifdom. 

8 Bleffcd be the Lord thy God, which delighted 
in thee, to fet thee on his throne, to be king for the 
Lord thy God: becaufe thy God loved Ifrael, to 
cftablifh them for ever, therefore made he thee king 
over them, to do judgment and juftice.

9 And fhe gave the king an hundred and twenty 
talents of gold, and of fpices great abundance, and 
precious ftones : neither was there any fuch fpice as 
the queen of Sheba gave king Solomon. 

10 And the fervants alfo of Huram, and the fer- 
vants of Solomon, which brought gold from Ophir, 
orought algum trees and precious ftones. 

1 1 And the king made of the algumtrees j] f terraces 
io the houfe ofthe Lord, and to the king's palace, and 
harps, and pfalteries for lingers : and there were none 
fuch feen before in the land of Judah. 

12 And king Solomon gave to the queen of Sheba 
all her defire, whatfoever fhe alked, beiide that which 
fhe had brought unto the king. So fhe turned, and 
went away to her own land, fhe and her fervants. 

13 IT Now the weight of gold that came to Solomon 
in one year w r as fix hundred and threefcore and fix 
talents of gold ;

of beaten gold : fix hundred shekels of beaten- gold 
went to one target. 

1 6 And three hundred fliields made he o/beaten gold : 
threehundred shekelsof goldwenttoonefhield : and the 
king put them in the houfe of the foreit of Lebanon. 

17 If Moreover, the king made a great throne of 
ivory, and overlaid it with pure gold. 

18 And there were fix fteps to the throne, with a 
footftool of gold, which were faftened to the throne, 
and t flays on each fide ofthe fitting place, and two 
lions Handing by the flays. 

19 And twelve lions "flood there on the one fide and 
on the other upon the fix fleps : there was not the 
like made in any kingdom. 

20 If And all the drinking veflels of king Solomon 
were of gold, and all the veflels of the houfe of the 
foreft of Lebanon were of \ pure gold : || none were of t Heb 
filver ; it was not any thing accounted of in the days 
of Solomon. 

21 For the king's fhips went to Tarfhifh with the 
fervants of Huram : every three years once came 
the fhips of Tirfhifh, bringing gold, and iilver, || ivory, 
and apes, and peacocks. 

22 And king Solomon paffed all the kings of the 
earth in riches and wifdom. 

23 If And all the kings of the earth fought the pref-

put in his heart. 

24 And they brought every man his prcfent, vcffels 
of filver, and veffels of gold, and raiment, harnefs, and

30 And Solomon reigned in Jerufalem over all If-

31 And Solomon flept with his fathers ; and he was 
buried in the city of David his father : and Rehoboam 
his fon reigned in his ftead. 

CHAP. X. 
1 The Israelites, assembled at Skechem to make Reho- 
boam lung, by Jeroboam make a suit for ease of their 
servitude. 6 Rehoboam, refusing the old men's coun- 
sel, by the advice of the young men, 12 answereth 
them roughly, £fV. 
ND a Rehoboam went to Shechem : for to She- 
chem were all Ifrael come to make him king. 

2 And it came to pais, when Jeroboam the fon of 
Nebat (who was in Egypt, whither he had fled from 
the prefence of Solomon the king) heard it, that Jero- 
boam returned out of Egypt. 

3 And they fent and called him : fo Jeroboam and 
all Ifrael came and fpake to Rehoboam, faying, 

4 Thy father made our yoke grievous : now, there- 
fore, eafe thou fomewhat the grievous fervitude of 
thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, 
and we will ferve thee. 

5 And he faid unto them, Come a^ain unto me after 
three days. And the people departed. 

6 IF And king Rehoboam took counfel with the old 
men that had flood before Solomon his father while 
he yet lived, faying What counfel give ye me, to re- 
turn anfwer to this people ? 

7 And they fpake unto him, faying, If thou be kind 
to this people, and pleafe them, and fpeak good words 
to them, they will be thy fervants for ever. 

8 But he forfook the counfel which the old men 
gave him, and took counfel with the young men that 
M'ere brought up with him, that flood before him. 

9 And he faid unto them, What advice give ye, 
that we may return anfwer to this people, which have 
l'poken to me, faying, Eafe fomewhat the yoke that 
thy father did put upon us ? 

10 And the young men that were brought up with 
him fpake unto him, faying, Thus fhaltthou anfwer 
the people that fpake unto thee, faying, Thy father 
made our yoke heavy, but make thou it fomewhat 
lighter for us ; thus fhalt thou fay unto them, My lit- 
tle finger fhali be thicker than my father's loins. 

11 For whereas my father t put a heavy yoke upon 
you, I will put more to your yoke : my father chaflifed 
you with whips, but I will chastise you with fcorpions. 

12 IF So Jeroboam and all the people came to Re- 
hoboam on the third day, as the king bade, faying, 
Come again to me on the third day* 

13 And the king anfwered them roughly ; and king 
Rehoboam forfook the counfel of the old men, 

14 And anfwered them after the advice of the young 
men, faying, My father made your yoke heavy, but 
I will add thereto : my father chaflifed you with whips, 
but I will chastise you with fcorpions. 

15 So the king hearkened not unto the people ; for 
the caufe was of God, that the Lord might perform 
his word, which he fpake by the b hand of Ahijah the 
Shilonite to Jeroboam the fon of Nebat. 

16 IF And when all Ifrael saw that the king would

faying, What portion have we in David ? and we have 
none inheritance in the fon of Jeffe ; every man to 
your tents, O Ifrael : and now, David, fee to thine 
own houfe. So all Ifrael Went to their tents. 

: 17 But as for the children of Ifrael that dwelt in the 
cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them. 

18 Then king Rehoboam fent Hadoram, that was 
over the tribute ; and the children of Ifrael floned him 
with ftones that he died: but king Rehoboam f made tHeb.

19 And Ifrael rebelled againft the houfe of David 
unto this day. 

CHAP. XI. 
1 Rehoboam raiseth an army to subdue Israel, but is 
forbidden to proceed by the prophet Shemaiab : 5 he 
buildeth fenced cities, and fortifieth the strong holds. 
13 The priests and Levites, cast off by Jeroboam, 
and others who feared God, resort to Jerusalem. 18 
Rehoboam 's vjives and children. 

AND a when Rehoboam was come to Jerufalem, he a » K * 
gathered of the houfe of Judah and Benjamin 122 
an hundred and fourfcore thoufand chofen men, which 
were warriors, to fight againft Ifrael, that he might 
bring the kingdom again to Rehoboam. 

2 But the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah 
the man of God, faying, 

3 Speak unto Rehoboam the fon of Solomon king of 
Judah, and to all Ifrael in Judah and Benjamin, faying, 

4 Thus faith the Lord, Ye fhall not go up nor fight 
againft your brethren: return every man to his houfe ; 
for this thing is done of me. And they obeyed the 
words of the Lord, and returned from going againft 
Jeroboam. 

5 IF And Rehoboam dwelt in Jerufalem, and built 
cities for defence in Judah. 

6 He built even Bethlehem, and Etam, and Tekoa, 

7 And Bethzur, and Shoco, and Adullam, 

8 And Gath, and Marefhah, and Ziph, 

9 And Adoraim, and Lachifh, and Azekah, 

10 And Zorah, and Aijalon, and Hebron, which 
are in Judah, and in Benjamin fenced cities. 

11 And he fortified the ftrong holds, and put cap-

wine. 

12 And in every feveral city he put fhields, and 
fpears, and made them exceeding ftrong> having Ju- 
dah and Benjamin on his fide. 

13 IF And the priefts, and the Levites that were in all 
Ifrael f reforted to him out of all their coafts. 

14 (-For the Levites left their fuburbs, and their 
pofTeffion, and came to Judah and Jerufalem : for b Je-

16 And after them, out of all the tribes of Ifrael, 
fuch as fet their hearts to feek the Lord God of Ifrael, 
came to Jerufalem, to facrifice unto the Lord God 
of their fathers.

of Abfalom above all his wives and his concubines ; 
(for he took eighteen wives and threefcore concu- 
bines, and begat twenty and eight fons, and threefcore 
daughters.) 

22 And Rehoboam made Abijah the fon of Maa- 
chah the chief, to be ruler among his brethren : for he 
thought to make him king. 

23 And he dealt wifely, and I difperfed of all his chil- 
dren throughout all the countries of Judah and Ben-

victual in abundance : and he defired t many wives.

1 Rehoboam, forsaking the Lord, is punished by Shi- 
shak^s invasion : 5 he and the princes, repenting at 
the preaching of Shemaiah, are delivered from 
destruction, but not from spoil. 13 The reign and 
death of Rehoboam, &c. 

AN D it came to pafs, when Rehoboam had eftab- 
lifhed the kingdom, and had ftrengthened him- 
felf, he forfook the law of the Lord> and all Ifrael 
with him. 

2 And it came to pafs, that, in the fifth year of king 
Rehoboam, Shifhak king of Egypt came up againft 
Jerufalem, a becaufe they had tranfgreffed againft the 
Lord, 

3 With twelve hundred chariots, and threefcore 
thoufand horfemen ; and the people were without 
number that came with him out of Egypt ; the 
Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Ethiopians. 

4 And he took the fenced cities which pertained to 
Judah, and came to Jerufalem. 

5 Vrhen came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, 
and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together 
to Jerufalem becaufe of Shifhak, and faid unto them, 
Thus faith the Lord, Ye haveforfakenme, and there- 
fore have I alfo left you in the hand of Shifhak. 

6 Whereupon, the princes of Ifrael and the king hum- 
bled themfelvcs, and they faid, The Lord ^righteous. 

7 And when the Lord faw that they humbled them- 
felves, the word of the Lord came to Shemaiah, 
laying, They have humbled themfelves, therefore I 

or. a Htm will not deftroy them, but I will grant them || fome 
deliverance ; and my wrath fhall not be poured out 
upon Jerufalem by the hand of Shifhak. 

8 Ncverthelefs, they fhall be his fervants ; that they 
may know my fervice, and the fervice of the king- 
doms of the countries. 

9 So Shifhak king of Egypt came up againft Jeru- 
falem, and took away the treafures of the houfe of 
the Lord, and the treafures of the king's houfe ; he 
took all : he carried away alfo the lhields of gold 
which Solomon had b made. 

10 Inftead of which king Rehoboam made fhields 
of brafs, and committed them to the hands of the chief 
of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's houfe. 

11 And when the king entered into the houfe of 
the Lord, the guard came and fetched them, and 
brought them again into the guard chamber. 




CHAP, XII, XIII. Abijah declareth the right of his cause. 

12 And when he humbled himfelf, the wrath of the 
Lord turned from him, that he would not deftroy him 
altogether : || and alfo in Judah things went well. 

13 Tf So king Rehoboam ftrengthened himfelf in 
Jerufalem, and reigned : for c Rehoboam was one and 
forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned 
feventeen years in Jerufalem, the city which the Lord 
had chofen out of all the tribes of Ifrael to put his 
name there : and his mother's name was Naamali an 
Ammonitefs. 

14 And he did evil, becaufe he || prepared not his 
heart to feek the Lord. 

15 Now the a6ls of Rehoboam, firft and laft, are 
they not written in the t book of Shemaiah the 
prophet, and of Iddo the feer, concerning genealogies ? 
And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jerobo-

O W a in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam 
began Abijah to reign over Judah. 

2 He reigned three years in Jerufalem : (his mo- 
ther's name alfo was Michaiah, the daughter of Uriel 
of Gibeah r) and there was war between Abijah and 
Jeroboam. 

3 And Abijah f fet the battle in array, with an army 
of valiant men of war, even four hundred thoufand t0 £ ether 
chofen men ; Jeroboam alfo fet the battle in array 
againft him with eight hundred thoufand chofen men, 
being mighty men of valour. 

4 11 And Abijah flood up upon mount Zemaraim, 
which is in mount Ephraim, and faid, Hear me, thou 
Jeroboam, and all Ifrael ; 

5 Ought ye not to know that the Lord God of 
Ifrael gave the kingdom over Ifrael, to David for ever, 
even to him and to his fons by a covenant of fait ? 

6 Yet Jeroboam the fon of Nebat, the fervant of 
Solomon the fon of David, is rifen up, and hath b 
belled againft his lord. 

7 And there are gathered unto him vain men, the 
children of Belial, and have ftrengthened themfelves 
againft Rehoboam the fon of Solomon, when Rehobo- 
am was young and tender hearted, and could not

8 And now ye think to withftand the kingdom of

you priefts after the manner of the nations of other 
lands ? fo that whofoever cometh t to confecrate him- 
felf with a young bullock and feven rams, the same 
may be a prieft of them that are no gods. 

10 But as for us, the Lord is our God, and we have 
not forfaken him ; and the priefts which minifter unto

about behind them : fo they were before Judah, and 
the ambufhment was behind them. 

14 And when Judah looked back, behold the battle 
w« .ybefore and behind : and they cried unto the Lord, 
and the priefts founded with the trumpets. 

15 Then the men of Judah gave a fhout : and, as 
the men of Judah fhouted, it came to pais, that God 
fmote Jeroboam and all Ifrael before Abijah and Judah. 

16 And the children of Ifrael fled before Judah ; 
and God delivered them into their hand. 

17 And Abijah and his people flew them with 
a great daughter ; fo there fell down fiain of Ifrael

18 Thus the children of Ifrael were brought under

19 And Abijah pnrfued after Jeroboam, and took 
cities from him ; Bethel with the towns thereof, and 
Jeihanah with the towns thereof, and Ephraim with 
the towns thereof. 

20 Neither did Jeroboam recover ftrength again 
in the days of Abijah ; and the Lord ftruck him, and 
he died.

O Abijah flept with his fathers, and they buried

in his ftead. In his days the land was quiet ten years. 

2 And Afa did that which was good and right in 
the eyes of the Lord his God : 

3 For he took away the altars of the ftrange gods, 
and the high places, and brake down the \ images, 
and cut down the groves ; 

4 And commanded Judah to feek the Lord God of 
their fathers, and to do the law and the commandment. 

5 Alfo he took away, out of all the cities of Judah, 
the high places and the \ images : and the kingdom 
was quiet before him. 

6 II And he built fenced cities in Judah : for the 
land had reft, and he had no war in thole years : be- 
caufe the Lord had given him reft. 

7 Therefore he laid unto Judah, Let us build thefe 
cities, and make about them walls, and towers, gates, 
and bars, while the land is yet before us ; becaufe we 
have fought the Lord our God, we have fought him, 
and he hath given us reft on every fide : fo they built 
and profpered.

8 11 And Afa had an army of men that bare targets 
and fpears ; out of Judah three hundred thouland, and 
out of Benjamin* that bare fhields and drew bows, 
two hundred and fourfcore thouland : all thefe were 
mighty men of valour, 

9 ^ \ And there came out againft them Zerah the 
Ethiopian, with an hoft of a thouland thouland, and 
three hundred chariots, and came unto Mareihah. 

10 Then Afa went out againft him, and they fet the

11 And Afa cried unto the L o r d his God , and faid , 
Lord, it is* nothing with thee to help, whether with <= 
many, or with them that have no power : help us, O 
Lord our God ; for we reft on thee, and in thy name 
we go againft this multitude. O Lord, thou art our 
God ; let not || man prevail againft thee. 

12 So the Lord fmote the Ethiopians before Afa, 
and before Judah ; and the Ethiopians fled. 

13 And Afa, and the people that were with him, pur- 
fued them unto Gerar ; and the Ethiopians were over- 
thrown, that they could not recover themfelves ; for 
they were f deftroyed before the Lord, and before 
his hoft : and they carried away very much fpoil. 

14 And they fmote all the cities round about Gerar ; 
for the fear of the Lord came upon them : and they 
fpoiled all the cities ; for there was exceeding much 
fpoil in them. 

15 They fmote alfo the tents of cattle, and carried 
away fheep and camels in abundance, and returned

hearing it, putteth away idolatry ; he and the peo-

AN D the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the 
fon of Oded : 

2 And he went out f to meet Afa, and faid unto 
him, Hear ye me, Afa, and all Judah and Benjamin ; 
The Lord is with you, while ye be with him; and 
if ye feek him, he will be found of j'ou ; but if ye 
forfake him, he will forfake you. 

3 Now for a long feafon Ifrael hath been without 
the true God, and without a teaching prieft, and 
without law : 

4 But when they in their trouble did turn unto the 
Lord God of Ifrael, and fought him, he was found 
of them. 

5 And in thofe times there was no peace to him that 
went out, nor to him that came in, but great vexa- 
tions ■were upon all the inhabitants of the countries. 

6 And nation was f deftroyed of nation, and city 
of city : for God did vex them with all adverfity. 

7 Be ye ftrong, therefore, and let not your hands 
be weak ; for your work fhall be rewarded. 

8 H And when Afa heard thefe words, and the pro-

away the t abominable idols out of all the land of tH*b.«foro 
Judah and Benjamin , and out of the cities which he had 
taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar 
of the Lord that tvas before the porch of the Lord. 

9 And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and the

10 So they gathered themfelves together at Jerufa-

reign of Afa. 

11 And they offered unto the Lord f the fame time 
of the fpoil which they had brought, feven hundred 
oxen and feven thoufand fheep. 

12 And they entered into a covenant to feek the 
Lord God of their fathers with all their heart, and 
with all their foul ; 

13 That whofoever would not feek the Lord God 
of Ifrael a fhould be put to death, whether fmall or 
great, whether man or woman. 

14 And they fware unto the Lord with a loud voice, 
and with fhouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets. 

15 And all Judah rejoiced at the oath ; for they had 
fvvorn with all their heart, and fought him with their 
whole defire ; and he was found of them : and the 
Lord gave them reft round about. 

16 H And alfo concerning b Maachah the mother of Afa 
the king, he removed her from being queen, becaufe fhe 

tHeb.7iwror.had made an f idol in a grove : and Afa cut down her 
idol, and ftamped it, and burnt it at the brook Kidron. 

17 But the high places were not taken away out of 
Ifrael : neverthelefs, the heart of Afa was perfecl all 
his days. 

18 IT And he brought into the houfe of God the 
things that his father had dedicated, and that he him- 
felf had dedicated, filver, and gold, and veffels. 

19 And there Avas no more war unto the five and 
thirtieth year of the reign of Afa. 

CHAP. XVI. 

1 Asa mahcth a league with Benhadad against Baa-

he is reproved by Hanani the seer, for applying to 
the Syrians for aid. 11 Asa in his sickness seeketb 
not to God, but to the physicians : 13 his death and 
burial. 

IN the fix and thirtieth year of the reign of Afa, 
a Baafha king of Ifrael came up againft Judah, and 
built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go 
out or come in to Afa king of Judah. 

2 Then Afa brought out filver and gold out of the 
treafures of the houfe of the Lord, and of the king's 
houfe, and fent to Benhadad king of Syria, that dwelt 
at f Damafcus, faying,' 

3 There is a league between me and thee, as there 
was between my father and thy father : behold, I have 
fent thee filver and gold ; go, break thy league with 
Baafha king of Ifrael, that he may depart from me. 

4 And Benhadad hearkened unto king Afa, and 
■y ha. -which fent the captains of t his armies againft the cities of

and all the ftore cities of Naphtali. 

5 And it came to pafs, when Baafha heard it, that 
he left off building of Ramah, and let his work ceafe. 

[ 6 Then Afa the king took all Judah ; and they car- 
ried away the ftones of Ramah, and the timber thereof, 
wherewith Baafha was building ; and he built there- 
with Geba and Mizpah. 

7 If And at that time Hanani the feer came to Afa

exceeding great : yet in his difeafe he fought not to

2 And he placed forces in all the fenced cities of 
Judah, and fet garrifonsin the land of Judah, and in the 
cities of Ephraim, which Afa his father had taken. 

3 And the Lord was with Jehofhaphat, becaufe he 
walked in the firft ways of his father David, and 
fought not unto Baalim ; 

4 But fought to the LORD God of his father, and 
walked in his commandments, and not after the doings 
of Ifrael : 

5 Therefore the Lord ftablifhed the kingdom in 
his hand : and all Judah t brought to Jehofhaphat pres-

6 And his heart || was lifted up in the ways of the 
Lord : moreover, he took away the high places and

1 Jehoshaphat is persuaded to go with Abab against

Jehoshaphat' 's request, Micaiah is sent for, 15 who 

forctellcth Abaft s death. 

T O W Jehofhaphat had riches and honour in abun-

InTofyLfs" to Samaria : and Ahab killed fheep and oxen for him 

in abundance, and for the people that he had with lnm, 
and perfuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead. 

3 And Abab king of Ifrael faid unto Jehofhaphat 
king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth- 
gilead ? And he anfweredhim, I am as thou art, and 
my people as thy people ; and we will be with thee in 
the war. 

4 If And Jehofhaphat faid unto the king of Ifrael, In- 
quire, I pray thee, at the word of the Lord today. 

5 Therefore the king of Ifrael gathered together of 
prophets four hundred men, and faid unto them, Shall 
we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or fhall I forbear ? 
And they faid, Go up ; for God will deliver it into the 
king's hand. 

6 Tl But Jehofhaphat faid , Is there not here a prophet 
of the Lord t belide, that we might inquire of him ? 

7 And the king of Ifrael faid unto Jehofhaphat, 
There is yet one man, by whom we may inquire of 
the Lord : but I hate him ; for he never prophefied 
good unto me, but always evil : the fame is Micaiah 
the fon of Imla. And Jehofhaphat faid, Let not the 
king lay fo.

14 And when he was come to the king, the king 
faid unto him, Micaiah, fhall we go to Ramothgilead 
to battle, or fhall I forbear ? And he faid, Go ye up, 
and profper, and they fhall be delivered into your hand. 

15 IF And the king faid to him, How many times 
fhall I adjure thee, that thou fay nothing but the truth 
to me, in the name of the Lord. ? 

16 Then he faid, I did fee all Ifrael fcattered upon 
the mountains, as fheep tiiat have no lhepherd : and 
the Lord faid, Thefe have no mafter ; let them re- 
turn therefore every man to his houfe in peace. 

17 And the king of Ifrael faid to Jeholhaphat, Did 
I not tell thee, that he would not prophefy good unto 
me, || but evil I 

18 Again he faid, Therefore hear the word of the 
Lord ; I faw the Lord fitting upon his throne, and 
all the hoft of heaven flanding on his right hand and on 
his left. 

19 And the Lord faid, Who fhall entice Ahab 
king of Ifrael, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth- 
gilead ? And one fpake, faying after this manner, and 
another, faying after that manner. 

20 Then there came out b a fpirit, and flood before 
the Lord, and faid, I will entice him. And the Lord 
faid unto him, Wherewith ? 

21 And he faid, I will go out, and be a lying fpirit 
in the mouth of all his prophets. And the LORD 
faid, Thou flialt entice him, and thou ihalt alio pre- 
vail : go out, and do even fo. 

22 Now, therefore, behold, the Lord hath put a 
lying fpirit in the mouth of thefe thy prophets, and the 
Lord hath fpoken evil againfl thee. 

23 H Then Zedekiah the fon of Chenaanah came 
near, and fmote Micaiah upon the cheek, and faid, 
Which way went the Spirit of the Lord from me to 
fpeak unto thee ? 

24 And Micaiah faid, Behold, thou fhalt fee on that 
day when thou ihalt go || into f an inner chamber to 
hide thyfelf. 

25 Then the king of Ifrael faid, Take ye Micaiah, 
and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, 
and to Joafh the king's fon ; 

26 And fay, thus faith the king, Pat this fellow in 
the prifon, and feed him with bread of affliction, and 
with water of affliclion, until I return in peace. 

27 And Micaiah faid, If thou certainly return in 
peace, then hath not the Lord fpoken by me. And 
he faid, Hearken, all ye people. 

28 So the king of Ifrael, and Jehofhaphat the king 
of Judah, went up to Ramothgilead. 

29 And the king of Ifrael faid unto Jehofhaphat, I 
will difguife myfelf, and will go to the battle : but put 
thou on thy robes. So the king of Ifrael difguifed 
himfelf ; and thay went to the battle.

Jehoshaphat instrucleth the judges, EsV. CHAP 

30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the 
captains of the chariots that were with him, laying, 
Fight ye not with fmall or great, fave only with the 
king of Ifrael. 

3L And it came to pafs, when the captains of the 
chariots faw Jehofhaphat, that they faid, It is the king 
of Ifrael ; therefore they compaffed about him to 
fight: but Jehoihaphat cried out, and the Lord 
helped him ; and God moved them to depart from 
him. 

32 For it came to pafs, that, when the captains of 
the chariots perceived that it was not the king of If- 
rael, they turned back again f from purfuing him. 

33 IT And a certain man drew a bow t at a venture, 
and fmote the king of Ifrael f between the joints of 
the harnefs : therefore he faid to his chariot man, 
Turn thine hand, that thou mayeft carry me out of 
the hoil ; for I am t wounded. 

34 And the battle increafed that day : howbeit, the 
king of Ifrael flayed himself 'up in his chariot againft 
the Syrians until the even : and about the time of the 
fun going down, he died.

Lord. 

3 Neverthelefs, there are a good things found in thee,

2 Then there came fome that told Jehofhaphat, 
faying, There cometh a great multitude againft thee

they be in Hazazontamar, which is Engedi. 

3 Anel Jehofhaphat feared, and fet f himfelf to feek h

they came to feek the Lord. 

5 11 Anel Jehofhaphat flood in the congregation of 
Judah and Jerufalem, in the houfe of the Lord before

6 And faid, O Lord God of our fathers, art not 
thou God in heaven ? and ruleft not thou over all the

7 Art not thou our God, f who didft drive out the tHeb,

16 Tomorrow go ye down againft them ; behold,

17 Ye fhall not need to fight in this battle ; fet your- 
felves, Hand ye still, and fee the falvation of the Lord 
with you, O Judah and Jerufalem : fear not, nor be 
difmayed : tomorrow go out againft them ; for the 
Lord will be with you. 

1 8 And Jeholhaphat bowed his head with bis face 
to the ground : and all Judah and the inhabitants of 
jerufalem fell before the LoRD,worfhipping theLoRD. 

19 And the Levites, of the children of the Koha- 
thites, and of the children of the Korhites, Hood up to 
praife the Lord God oflfrael with a loud voice on high. 

20 TI And they rofe early in the morning, and went 
forth into the wildernefs of Tekoa : and, as they went 
forth, Jehofhaphat flood and faid, Hear me, O Ju- 
dah, and ye inhabitants of Jerufalem ; c Believe in the 
Lord your God, fo fhall ye be eftablifhed ; believe 
his prophets, fo fhall ye profper. 

21 And, when he had confulted with the people, he 
appointed fingers unto the Lord, and f that fhould 
praife the beauty of holinefs, as they went out before 
the army, and to fay, Praife the Lord ; for his mercy 
endureth for ever. 

22 II | And when they began t to fmg and to praife, 
the Lord fet ambufhments againft the children of 
Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come 
againft Judah ; and || they were fmitten. 

23 For the children of Ammon and Moab flood 
up againft the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to 
flay and deftroy them : and when they had made an 
end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped f to 
deftroy another. 

24 And when Judah came toward the watch tower 
in the wildernefs, they looked unto the multitude, 
and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, 
and t none efcaped. 

25 And when Jehofhaphat and his people came to 
take away the fpoil of them, they found among them 
in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and 
precious jewels, (which theyflripped off forthemfelves,) 
more than they could carry away : and they were 
three days in gathering of the fpoil, it was fo much. 

26 H And on the fourth day they affembled them- 
felves in the valley of || Berachah ; for there they bleff- 
ed the Lord : therefore the name of the fame place 
was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day. 

27 Then they returned, every man of Judah and 
Jerufalem, and Jehofhaphat in the f forefront of them, 
to go again to Jerufalem with joy : for the Lord had 
made thern to rejoice over their enemies. 

28 And they came to Jerufalem withpfalteries, and 
harps, and trumpets, unto the houfe of the Lord. 

29 And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms 
of those countries, when they had heard that the Lord 
fought againft the enemies of Ifrael. 

30 So the realm of Jehofhaphat was quiet ; for 
his God gave him reft round about.

1 Jehoshaphafs death ; Jehoram succeedeth him, and 
slayeth his brethren : 5 his wicked reign. 8 Edom 
and Libnah revolt. 12 Elijah's written prophecy 
against him. 16 The Philistines and Arabians 
grievously oppress him: 18 his incurable disease, 
loathsome death, and burial. 

NOW a Jehofhaphat flept with his fathers, and 
was buried with his fathers in the city of David ; 
and Jehoram his fon [| reigned in his ftead. 

2 And he had brethren, the fons of Jehofhaphat, 
Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, 
and Michael, and Shephatiah : all thefe were the fons 
of Jehofhaphat king oflfrael. 

3 And their father gave them gre.it gifts of filver, 
and of gold, and of precious things, with fenced 
cities in Judah : but the kingdom gave he to || Jeho- 
ram, becaufe he was the firftborn. 

4 Now, when Jehoram was rifen up to the king- 
dom of his father, he ftrengthened himfelf, and flew 
all his brethren with the fword, and divers alfo of the 
princes oflfrael. 

5 II b Jehoram was thirty and two years old, when 
he began to reign ; and he reigned eight years in 
Jerufalem. 

6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Ifrael, 
like as did the houfe of Ahab ; for he had the daugh- 
ter of c Ahab to wife : and he wrought that ivbicb was 
evil in the eyes of the Lord. 

7 Howbeit, the Lord would not deftroy the houfe 
of David, becaufe of the covenant that he had made 
with David, and as he promifed to give a | light to 
him and to his d fons for ever. 

8 II In his days the Edomites revolted from under 
the t dominion of Judah, and made themfelv.es a king. iKm : 

9 Then Jehoram went e forth with his princes, and 
all his chariots with him : and he rofe up by night, 
and fmote the Edomites which compaffed him in, 
and the captains of the chariots. 

10 So the Edomites revolted from under the hand

12 H And there came a * writing to him from Eli- 
jah the prophet, faying, Thus faith the Lord God of 
David thy father, Becaufe thou haft not walked in 
the ways of Jehofhaphat thy father, nor in the ways 
of Afa k ing of Judah , 

13 But haft walked in the way of the kings oflf- 
rael, and hafl: made Judah and the inhabitants of Je- 
rufalem to go a whoring, like to the whoredoms of the 
houfe of Ahab, and alio haft flain thy brethren of thy 
father's houfe, which were better than thyfelf ; 

14 Behold, with f a great plague will the Lord 
finite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and 
all thy goods. 

15 And thou shah have great ficknefs by difeafe of 
thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out, by reafon of the 
ficknefs day by day. 

16 H Moreover, the Lord ftirred up againft Jeho- 
ram the fpirit of the Philiftines, and of the Arabians, 
that were near the Ethiopians : 

17 And they came up into Judah, and brake into 
it, and f carried away all the fubftance that was found 
in the king's houfe, and his fons alfo, and his wives ; 
fo that there was never a fon left him, fave II Jehoa- 
haz, the youngeft of his fons. 

18 U || And after all this the Lord fmote him in his 
bowels with an incurable difeafe. 

19 And it came to pafs, that, in procefs of time, 
after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by rea- 
fon of his ficknefs; fohe died of fore difeafes : and his 
people made no burning for him like the burning of 
his fathers. 

20 Thirty and two years old was he when he began 
to reign ; and he reigned in Jerufalem eight years, 
and departed t without being defired : howbeit, they 
buried him in the city of David, but not in the fepul- 
chres of the kings. 

CHAP. XXII. 

1 Ahaziab succeedeth Jehoram ; his wicked reign : 
5 his confederacy with Jehoram the son of Ahab, with 
whom he is slain by Jehu. 10 Athaliah, having de- 
stroyed all the seed royal of Judah, save Joash who 
was hid by Jehoshabeath his aunt, usurpeth the 
kingdom. 

AND the inhabitants of Jerufalem made a Ahaziah 
his youngeft fon king in his (lead : for the band 
of men that came with the Arabians to the camp had 
flain all the b eldeft. So Ahaziah the fon of Jehoram 
king of Judah reigned. 

2 Forty and two years old was Ahaziah when he 
began to reign ; and he reigned one year in Jerufa- 
lem : his mother's name alfo was c Athaliah , the daugh- 
ter of Omri. 

3 He alfo walked in the \vi\fs of the houfe of Ahab: 
for his mother was his counfeilor to do wickedly. 

4 Wherefore he did evil in the fight of the Lord, 
like the houfe of Ahal> ; for they were his counfellors, 
after the death of his father, to his deftruclion. 

5 II He walked alfo after their counfel, and went 
with Jehoram the fon of Ahab king of Ifrael, to war 
againft Hazael king of Syria, at Ramothgilead : and 
the Syrians fmote Joram.

And || Azariah the fon of Jehoram king of Judah 
went clown to fee Jehoram the fon of Ahab at Jez- 
reel, becaufe he was fick. 

7 And the f deftruclion of Ahaziah was of God, by 
coming to Joram : for, when he was come, he went 
out with Jehoram againft Jehu the fon of Nimflii, 
d whom the Lord had anointed to cut oft" the houfe 
of Ahab. _ 

8 And it came to pafs, that when Jehu was exe- 
cuting; judgment upon the houfe of Ahab, and found 
the princes of Judah, and the fons of the brethren 
of Ahaziah, that miniftered to Ahaziah, he flew 
them. 

9 e Andiie fought Ahaziah : and they caught him, « \*' m & 
(for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought him to Jehu 
and when they had flain him they buried him ; be- 
cauietlaid they) he is the fon of Jehofhaphat, who 
fought the Lord with all his heart. So the houfe of 
Ahaziah had no power to keep ftill the kingdom. 

10 II f But when Athaliah, the mother of Ahaziah, 
faw that her fon was dead, fhe arofe and deftroyed all 
the feed royal of the houfe of Judah. 

11 But Jehofhabeath, the daughter of the king, 
took Joafh the fon of Ahaziah, and ftole him from 
among the king's fons that were flain, and put him 
and his nurfe in a bed chamber. So Jehofhabeath, 
the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada 
the prielt, (for fhe was the lifter of Ahaziah,) hid him 
from Athaliah, fo that fhe flew him not. 

12 And he was with them hid in the houfe of God 
fix years : and Athaliah reigned over the land. 

CHAP. XXIII. 

1 Jehoiada having taken measures for the security of 
Joash, maketh him king. 12 Athaliah is slain. 16 
Jehoiada restoreth God's worship, and settleth the 
king on the throne. t 

AND a in the feventh year Jehoiada ftrengthened 
himfelf, and took the captains of hundreds, 
Azariah the fon of Jehoram, and Ifhmael the fon of 
Jehohanan, and Azariah the fon of Obed, and Maa- 
feiah the fon of Adaiah, and Elifhaphat the fon of 
Zichri, into covenant with him. 

2 And they went about in Judah, and gathered the 
Levites out of all the cities of Judah, and the chief 
of the fathers of Ifrael, and they came to Jerufalem. 

3 And all the congregation made a covenant with 
the king in the houfe of God : and he faid unto them, 
Behold, the king's fon fhall reign, as the Lord hath 
b faid of the fons of David. 

4 This is the thing that ye fhall do : A third part 
of you entering on the fabbath, of the priefts and of 
the Levites, shall be porters of the t doors ; 

5 And a third part shall be at the king's houfe ; and 
a third part at the gate of the foundation : and all the 
people shall be in the courts of the houfe of the Lord. 

6 But let none come into the houfe of the Lord, 
fave the priefts, and they that minifter of the Levites ; 
they fhall go in, for they are holy : but all the people 
lhall keep the watch of the Lord. 

7 And the Levites fhall compafs the king round 
about, every man with his weapons in his hand ; and 
whofoever else cometh into the houfe, he lhall be put 
to death : but be ye with the king when he cometh 
in, and when he goeth out. 

8 So the Levites, and all Judah, did accordinsto all 
things that Jehoiada the prieft had commanded, and

took every man his men that were to come in on the 
, fabbath, with thern that were to go out on the fabbath, 
for Jehoiada the prieft difmifled not the couifes. 

9 Moreover, Jehoiada the prieit delivered to the cap- 
tains cf hundreds, fpears, and bucklers, and fhields, 
that had been king David's, which were in thehoufe 
of God. 

10 And he fet all the people, (every man having 
his weapon in his hand,) from the right f hde of the 
t temple to the left fide of the temple, along by the 
altar and the temple, by the king round about. 

11 Then they brought out the king's fon, and put 
upon him the crown, and c gave him the tefiimony, 
and made him king : and Jehoiada and his fons an- 
ointed him, and faid, f God lave the king. 

12 II Now, when Athaliah heard the noife of the 
people running and praiiing the king, fhe came to 
the people into the houfe of the Lord. 

_ 13 And fhe looked, and, behold, the king flood at 
his pillar at the entering in, and the princes and the 
trumpets by the king : and all the people of the land 
rejoiced, and founded with trumpets ; alfo the fingers 
with instruments of mufick, and fuch as taught to 
ling praife. Then Athaliah rent her clothes, and laid, 
t Treafon, treafon ! 

14 Then Jehoiada the prieft brought out the cap- 
tains of hundreds that were fet over the holt, and faid 
unto them, Have her forth cf the ranges : and whofo 
folio weth her, let him be flain with the {'word. For 
the prieft faid, flay her not in the houfe of the Lord. 

15 So they laid hands on her ; and when fhe was 
come to the entering of the horfe gate, by the king's 
houfe, they flew her there. 

16 II And Jehoiada made a covenant between him, 
and between all the people, and between the king, 
that they fhould be the Lord's people. 

17 Then all the people went to the houfe of Baal, 
and brake it down, and brake his altars and his im- 
ages in pieces, and d flew Mattan the prieft of Baal be- 
fore the altars. 

18 Alfo Jehoiada appointed the officers of the houfe 
of the Lord by the hand ofthepriefts the Levites, 
whom David had e diftributed in the houfe of the 
Lord., to offer the burnt offerings of the _ Lord, as 
it is written in the f law of Mofes, with rejoicing and 
with finging, as it was ordained -\ by David. 

19 And he fet the B porters at the gates of the 
houfe of the Lord, that none which was unclean in 
any thing, fhould enter in. 

20 And he took the captains of hundreds, and the 
nobles, and the governors of the people, and all the 
people of the land, and brought down the king from 
the houfe of the Lord : and they came through the 
high gate into the king's houfe, and fet the king upon 
the throne of the kingdom. 

21 And all the people of the land rejoiced : and the 
city was quiet, after that they had {lain Athaliah with 
the fword. 

CHAP. XXIV. 
1 Joash r eigne lb well all the days of jehoiada : 4 his 
r care and orders for the repairs of the temple. 15 
Jehoiada'' s death and honourable burial. 17 Joash, 
sedu+ed to idolatry, slayeth Zcchariah the son of Je- 
hoiada. 23 Joash is spoiled by the Syrians, and slain 
by a conspiracy of his servants. 27 Amaziah suc- 
' .ceedeib hhn. 



JOASH a was feven years old when he began to 
reign ; and he reigned forty years in Jerufalem : 
his mother's name alfo was Zibiah of Beeriheba. 

2 And Joafh did that which was right in the fight 
of the Lord all the days of Jehoiada the prieft. 

3 And Jehoiada took for him two wives ; and he 
begat fons and daughters. 

•4 II And it came to pafs after this, that Joafh was 
minded f to repair the houfe of the Lord. 

5 And he gathered together the priefts and the 
Levites, and faid to them, Go out unto the cities of 
Judah, and gather of all Ifrael money to repair the 
houfe of your God from year to year, and fee that 
ye haften the matter : howbeit, the Levites haftened 
it not. 

: 6 And the king called for Jehoiada the chief, and 
faid unto him, Why haft thou not required of the 
Levites to bring in, out of Judah, and out of Jerufa- 
lem, the collection, according to the commandment of 
b Mofes,^ the fervant of the Lord, and of the congre- 
gation of Ifrael, for the tabernacle of witnefs ? 

7 For the fons of Athaliah, that wicked woman, 
had broken up the houfe of God ; and alfo all the 
dedicated things of the houfe of the Lord did they 
beftow upon Baalim. 

-8 And at the king's commandment they madeacheft, 
and fet it without at the gate of the houfeof the Lord. 

9 And they made f a proclamation through Judah 
and Jerufalem, to bring in to the Lord the collection 
that Mofes, the fervant of God, laid upon Ifrael in 
the wildernefs. 

10 And all the princes and all the people rejoiced, 
and brought in, and call into the cheft, until they had 
made an end. 

11 Now it came to pafs, that at what time the cheft 
was brought unto the king's office by the hand of the 
Levites, and when they faw that there was much 
money, the king's fcribe, and the high prieft's officer, 
came and emptied the cheft, and took it, and carried 
it to his place again. Thus they did day by day, and 
gathered money in abundance. 

12 And the king and Jehoiada gave it to fuch as 
did the work of the fervice of the houfe of the Lord, 
and hired mafons and carpenters to repair the houfe 
of the Lord, and alfo fuch as wrought iron and brafs, 
to mend the houfe of the Lord. 

13 So the workmen wrought, and f the work was 
perfected by them, and they fet the houfe of God in 
his ftate, and ftrengthened it. 

14 And when they had finifhed it, they brought 
the reft of the money before the king and Jehoiada, 
whereof were made veflels for the houfeof the Lord, 
even veffels to minifter, and || to offer withal, and 
fpoons, and veffels of gold and filve.r; and they of- 
fered burnt offerings in the houfe of the Lord con- 
tinually, all the days of Jehoiada. 

15 II But Jehoiada waxed old, and was full of days 
when he died ; an hundred and thirty years old was 
he when he died. 

16 And they buried him in the city of David 
among the kings, becaufe he had done good in Ifrael, 
both toward God and toward his houfe. 

17 ^1 Now, after the death of Jehoiada came the 
princes of Judah, and made obeifance to the king : 
then the king hearkened unto them.

Amaziah beginneth to reign well ,<

came upon Judah and Jerufalem for this their trefpafs. 

19 Yet he lent prophets to them, to bring them 
again unto the Lord, and they teftified againft them : 
but they would not give ear. 

20 And the Spirit of God t came upon Zechariah 
the fon of Jehoiada the prieft, which flood above the 
people, and faid unto them, Thus faith God, Why 
trani'grefs ye the commandments of the Lord, that 
ye cannot profper ? becaufe ye have forfaken the 
Lord, he hath alfo forfaken you. 

21 And they confpired againft him, and ftoned

22 Thus Joaih the king remembered not the kind- 
nefs which Jehoiada his lather had done to him, but 
flew his fon : and, when he died, he faid, The Lord 
look upon it and require it. 

23 If And it came to pafs f at the end of the year, 
that the hoft of Syria came up againft him : and they 
came to Judah and Jerufalem, and deftroyed all the 
princes of the people from among the people, and 
lent all the fpoil of them unto the king of f Damafcus. 

24 For the army of the Syrians came with a fmall 
company of men, and the Lord delivered a very 
great hoft into their hand ; becaufe they had forfaken 
the Lord God of their fathers : fo they executed

25 And when they were departed from him, (for 
they left him in great difeafes,) his own fervants con- 
fpired againft him) for the blood of the fons of Je- 
hoiada the prieft, and flew him on his bed, and he

Judah, and hircth an army of Israelites against

at the word of a prophet, he loseth the silver, and 
dismisscth them : 11 he ■ smitcth the Edomites. 13 
The offended Israelites on their return spoil the cities 
of Judah. 14 Amaziah serveth the gods of Edom, 
and despiseth the admonitions of a prophet : 17 his 
challenge to- Joash, which endeth in his overthrow : 
25 the remainder of his reign : 27 he is slain by a

commanded, faying, b The fathers fliall not die for the 
children, neither fhall the children die for the fathers ; 
but every man fhall die for his own fin. 

5 Tf Moreover, Amaziah gathered Judah together, 
and made them captains over thoufands, and captains iS'iiio?* 
over hundreds, according to the houfes of their 
fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin 1 and he- 
numbered them from twenty years old and above, and 

found them three hundred thoufand choice men, able 
to go forth to Avar, that could handle fpear and ihield. 

6 He hired alfo an hundred thoufand mighty men 
of valour out of Ifrael, for an hundred talents of lilver. 

; 7 But there came a man of God to him, faying, O 
king, let not the army of Ifrael go with thee : for the 
Lord is not with Ifrael, to wit, with all the children 
of Ephraim. 

8 But if thou wilt go, do it; be ftrong for the bat- 
tle ; God fliall make thee fall before the enemy ; for 
God hath power to help, and to call down. 

9 And Amaziah faid to the man of God, But what 
fliall we do for the hundred talents which I have given 

to the f army of Ifrael ? And the man of God anfwered, + / ^ eb - 
The Lord is able to give thee much more than this. 

10 Then Amaziah feparated them, to wit, the army 

that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go f home \ H? b. t0 
again : wherefore their anger was greatly kindled lheir P 1 *"- 
againft Judah, and they returned home f in great anger. 
\\\ And Amaziah ftrengthened himfelf, and led 
forth his people, and went to the valley of Salt, and 
fmote of the children of Seir ten thoufand. 

12 And other ten thoufand left alive did the children 
of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto 
the top of the rock, and caft them down from the top 
of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces. 

13 1 But f the foldiers of the army which Amaziah t Heb. the 
fent back, that they flioukl not go with him to battle, 
fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto 
Bethhoron, and fmote three thoufand of them, and 
took much fpoil. 

14 H Now it came to pafs, after that Amaziah was 
come from the flaughier of the Edomites, that he 
brought the gods of the children of Seir, and fet them 
up to be his gods^ and bowed down himfelf before 
them, and burnt incenfe unto them. 

15 Wherefore, the anger of the Lord was kindled 
againft Amaziah, and he fent unto him a prophet, 
which faid unto him, Why haft thou fought after the 
gods of the people, which could not deliver their own 
people out of thine hand ? 

16 And it came to pafs, as he talked with him, that 
the king faid unto him, Art thou made of the king's 
counfel ? forbear ; why fhouldeft thou be fmitten ? 
Then the prophet forbare, and faid, I know that God 
hath | determined to deftroy thee, becaufe thou haft 
done this, and haft not hearkened unto my counfel. 

17 If Then c Amaziah king of Judah took advice, 
and fent to Joafh the fon of Jehoahaz, the fon of 
Jehu king of Ifrael, faying, Come, let us fee one 
another in the ficc. 

18 And Joafh king of Ifrael fent to Amaziah king of 
Jirdah, faying, The ||thiftle that was in Lebanon fent to „ 
the cedar that was in Lebanon, faying, Give thy daugh- \ 
ter to my Ton to wife : and there paffed by t a wild beaft "

20 But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, 
that he might deliver them into the hand of their ene- 
mies, becaufe they fought after the gods of Edom. 

21 So Joafh the king of Ifraei went up ; and they 
faw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king 
of Judah, at Bethfhemefh, which belongeth to Judah. 

22 And Judah was t P ut to l . lie worfe before Ifraei, 
and they fled every man to his tent. 

23 And Joafh the king of Ifraei took Amaziah king 
of Judah, the fon of Joafh, the fon of Jehoahaz, at 
Bethfhemefh, and brought him to Jerufalem, and 
brake down the wall of Jerufalem, from the gate of 

, Ephraim to t die corner gate, four hundred cubits. 

24 And he took all the gold and the filver, and all 
the veffels that were found in the houfe of God with 
Obededom, and the treafures of the king's houfe, the 
hoftages alfo, and returned to Samaria. 

25 If And Amaziah, the fon of Joafh, king of Judah, 
lived after the death of Joafh, fon of Jehoahaz king of

" they fent to Lachifh after him, and flew him there. 
28 And they brought him upon horfes, and buried 
him with his fathers in the city of || Judah. 

CHAP. XXVI. 
1 Uzziah succcecleth Amaziah, and, reigning well in 
the days of Zecbariah the seer, prospereth : 9 his 
buildings : 1 1 his host, and engines of war : 16 
waxing proud, he invadeth the priest'' 's office, and is 
smitten with leprosy : 22 he dietb : Jotham suc- 
ceeded him. 

THEN all the people of Judah took a H Uzziah, 
who was fixteen years old, and made him king 
in the room of his father Amaziah. 

2 He built Eloth, and reftored it to Judah, after 
that the king flept with his fathers. 

3 Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he_ began to 
reign ; and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerufa- 
lem : his mother's name alfo w^Jecoliah of Jerufalem. 

4 And he did that ivhich was right in the fight of the 
Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah did. 

5 And he fought God in the days of Zechariah, who 
tHeb. in the had underftanding t in the vifions of God : and as long 
'™ /Go *'as he fought the Lord, God made him to profper.^ 

6 And he went forth and warred againft the Philif- 
tines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the Avail 
of Jabneh, and the wall of Afhdod, and built cities 
|| about Afhdod, and among the Philiftines. 

7 And God helped him againft the Philiftines, and 
againft the Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal, and the 
Mehunims. 

8 And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah :_ and 
his name f fpread abroad even to the entering in of 
Egypt ; for he ftrengthened himself exceedingly.

he loved f hufbandry. 

11 IT Moreover, Uzziah had an hoft of fighting men, 
that went put to war by bands, according to the num- r "'"" / ' 
ber of their account, by the hand of Jeiel the fcribe, 
and Maafeiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, 
one of the king's captains. 

12 The whole number of the chief of the fathers 
of the mighty men of valour, were two thoufand and 
fix hundred. 

13 And under their hand was f an army, three 
hundred thoufand, and feven thoufand and five hun- 
dred, that made war with mighty power, to help the 
king againft the enemy. 

14 And Uzziah prepared for them, throughout all 
the hoft, fhields, and fpears, and helmets, and haber- 
geons, and bows, and f flings to cast ftones. 

15 And he made in Jerufalem engines, invented by 
cunning men, to be on the towers, and upon the bul- 
warks, to fhoot arrows and great ftones withal : and 
his name t fpread far abroad ; for he was marvelloufly 
helped till he was ftrong. 

16 II But when he was ftrong, his heart was lifted up 
to his deftruclion : for he tranfgreffed againft the 
Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord, 
to burn incenfe upon the altar of incenfe. 

17 And Azariah the prieft went in after him, and 
with him fourfcore priefts of the Lord, that were 
valiant men ; 

18 And they withftood Uzziah the king, and faid 
unto him, It b appertained not unto thee, Uzziah, td bNun* 
burn incenfe unto the Lord, but to the c priefts the 
fons of Aaron, that are confecrated to burn incenfe : 
go out of the fane/luary, for thou haft trefpaffed ; neither 
shall it be for thine honour from the Lord God. 

19 Then Uzziah was wroth, and bad a cenfer in his 
hand to burn incenfe ; and, Avhile he was wroth with 
the priefts, the leprofy even rofe up in his forehead 
before the priefts in the houfe of the Lord, from 
befide the incenfe altar. 

20 And Azariah the chief prieft, and all the priefts, 
looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his 
forehead, and they thruft him out from thence ; yea, 
himfelf d hailed alfo to go out, becaufe the Lord had i A *

f mitten him. 

21 e And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day */ 5 Kings 
of his death, and dwelt in a f f feveral houfe, being f " 
a leper ; for he was cut off from the houfe of the 
Lord : and Jotham his fon was over the king's houfe, 
judging the people of. the land. 

22 Tl Now the reft of the acls of Uzziah, firft and 
laft, did Ifaiah the prophet, the fon of Amoz, write. 

23 So Uzziah flept with his fathers, and they buried 
him with his fathers in the field of the burial which 
belonged to the kings ; for they faid, He is a leper : 
and Jotham his fon reigned in his ftead.

V+i. 5 Wherefore the Lord his God delivered him into 

the hand of the king of Syria ; and they fmote him, 
and carried away a great multitude of them captives, 
tHeb. Dar- and brought them to t Damafcus ; and he was alio de- 
livered into the hand of the king of Ifrael, who fmote 
him witli a great flaughter. 

6 For Pekah the fon of Remaliah flew in Judah an 
hundred aud twenty thoufand in one day, which were 

- h. .. ii o/all f valiant men ; becaufe they had forfaken the Lord 
God of their fathers. 

7 And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, flew 
Maafeiah the king's fqn, and Azrikam the governor 
of the houfe, and Elkanah that was t next to the king. 

8 If x\nd the children of Ifrael carried away captive 
of their brethren two hundred thoufand, women, fons, 
and daughters, and took alfo away much fpoil from 
them, and brought the fpoil to Samaria. 

9 But a prophet of the Lord was there, whofe name 
was Oded ; and he went out before the holt that came 
to Samaria, and faid unto them, Behold, becaufe the 
Lord God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he 
hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have flain 
them in a rage that reacheth up unto heaven.

of Judah and Jerufalem for bondmen and bondwomen C hr°ist 
unto you : but are there not with you, even with you, ^Q^, 
fins againft the Lord your God ? 

11 Now hear me, therefore, and eleliver the cap- 
tives again, which ye have taken captive of your breth- 
ren : for the fierce wrath of the Lord is upon you. 

12 Then certain of the heads of the children of 
Ephraim, Azariah the fon of Johanan, Berechiah the 
fon of Meihiliemoth, and Jehizkiah the fon of Shal- 
lum, and Amafa the fon of Hadlai, flood up againft 
them that came from die war. 

13 And faid unto them, Ye fhail not bring in the 
captives hither : for whereas we have offended againft 
the Lord already, ye intend to add more to our fins 
and to our trefpafs ; for our trefpafs is great, and there 
is fierce wrath againft Ifrael. 

14 So the armed men left the captives and the fpoil 
before the princes and all the congregation. 

15 And the men which were expreffed by name 
rofe up, and took the captives, and with the fpoil 
clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed 
them, and fhod them, and gave them to eat and to 
drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of 

them upon affes, and brought them to Jericho, c the cDe «' 343- 
city of palm trees, to their brethren : then they re- 
turned to Samaria. 

16 If At that time did king Ahaz fend unto the 
kings of Affyria to help him. 

17 For again the Edomites had come and fmitten 
Judah, and carried away f captives. 

18 The Philiftines alfo had invaded the cities of the 
low country, and of the fouth of Judah, and had taken 
Bethfhemefh, and Ajalon, andGederoth, and Shocho 
with the villages thereof, and Timnah with the villages 
thereof, Gimzo alfo, and the villages thereof : and they 
dwelt there. 

19 For the Lord brought Judah low, becaufe of 
Ahaz king of Ifrael : for he made Judah naked, and 
tranfgreffed fore againft the Lord. 

20 And Tilgathpilnefer king of Affyria came unto 
him, and diftreffed him, but ftrengthened him not. 

21 For Ahaz took away a portion out of the houfe 
of the Lord, and out of the houfe of the king, and of 
the princes, and gave it unto the king of Affyria : but 
he helped him not. 

22 ^T And in the time of his diftrefs did he trefpafs 
yet more againft the Lord : this is that king Ahaz. 

23 For he facrificed unto the gods of f Damafcus +j£*- Daf " 
which fmote him : and he faid, Becaufe the gods of '" 

the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I facrifice 
to them that they may help me : but they were the 
ruin of him, and of all Ifrael. 

24 And Ahaz gathered together the veffels of the 
houfe of God, and cut in peices the veffels of the houfe 
of God, and fhut up the doors of the houfe of the Lord, 
and lie made him altars in every corner of Jerufalem. 

25 And in every feveral city of Judah he made high 
places || to burn incenfe unto other gods, and provok- 
ed to anger the Lord God of his fathers. 

26 If Now the reft of his a£ts, and of all his ways, 
firft and laft, behold, they are written, in the book of

ried him in the city, even in Jerufalem ; but they

Hezekiah's good reign : 3 he restoreth religion, and 
Lxhorteth the Levites to cleanse the house of God .-12 
they sanctify themselves, and cleanse the house. 20 
Hezeltiah offer eth solemn sacrifices, •wherein the Le- 
vites shew a more forward zeal than the priests. 

HEZEKIAH a began to reign when he was five 
and twenty years old ; and he reigned nine and 
twenty years in Jerusalem : and his mother's name 
was Abijah, tbe (laughter of Zechariah. 

2 And he did that which was right in the fight of the 
Lord, according to all that David his father had done. 

3 If He, in the firft year of his reign, in the firft 
month, opened the doors of the houfe of the Lord, 
and repaired them. 

4 And he brought in the priefts and the Levites, 
and gathered them together into the eaft ftreet. 

5 And faid unto them, Hear me, ye Levites ; fanc- 
tify now yourfelves, and fanctify the houfe of the Lord 
God of your fathers, and carry forth the fiithinefs out 
of the holy j5/tfc<?. 

6 For our fathers have trefpaffed, anddone that which 
was evil in the eyes of the Lord our God, and have 
forfaken him, and have turned away their faces from 
the habitation of the Lord, and f turned their backs. 

7 Alfo they have fhut up the doors of the porch, 
and put out the lamps, and have not burnt incenfe, 
nor offered burnt offerings in the holy place, unto the 
God of Ifrael. 

8 Wherefore the wrath of the Lord was upon Ju- 
dah and Jerufalem, and he hath delivered them to 
t trouble, to aftonifhment, and to hiffing, as ye fee 
with your eyes. 

9 For, lo, our fathers have fallen by the fword ; and 
our fons, and our daughters, and our wives, are in 
captivity for this. 

10 Now it is in mine heart to make a covenant 
with the Lord God of Ifrael, that his fierce wrath 
may turn away from us 

11 My fons, || be not now negligent : for the Lord 
hath b chofen you to ftand before him, toferve him, and 
that ye fhould miniiler unto him, and || burn incenfe. 

12 If Then the Levites arofe, Mahath the fon of 
Amafai, and Joel the fon of Azariah, of the fons of 
the Kohathites : and of the fons of Merari : Kifh the 
fon of Abdi, and Azariah the fon of Jehalelel : and 
of the Gerfhonites ; Joah the fon of Zimmah, and Eden 
the fon of Joah : 

13 And of the fons of Elizaphan ; Shimri, and Jeiel : 
and of the fons of Afaph ; Zechariah, and Mattaniah : 

14 And of the fons of Heman ; Jehiel, and Shimei : 
and of the fons of Jeduthun ; Shemaiah, and Uzziel. 

15 And they gathered their brethren, and fancli- 
fied themfelves, and came, according to the com- 
mandment of the king, || by the words of the Lord, 
to cleanfe the houfe of the Lord, 

16 And the priefts went into the inner part of the 
houfe of the Lord, to cleanfe it, and brought out all 
the uncleannefs that they found in the temple of the 
Lor d into the court of the houfe of the Lord. And 
the Levites took it to carry it out abroad into the 
brook Kidron. 

17 Now they began on the firft day of the firft 
month to fanclify, and on the eighth day of the month 
came they to the porch of the Lord : fo they fancli-

fied the houfe of the Lord in eight days ; and in the 
fixteenth day of the firft month, they made an end. 

18 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king, and 
faid, We have cleanfedall the houfe of the Lord, and 
the altar of burnt offering, with all the veffels thereof, 
and the fliew bread table, with all the veffels thereof. 
1 19 Moreover, all the veffels, which king Ahaz in 
his reign did eaft away in his tranfgreifion, have we 
prepared and fanclified, and, behold, they are before 
the altar of the Lord. 

20 If Then Hezekiah the kingrofe early, and gath- 
ered the rulers of the city, and went up to the houfe 
of the Lord. 

21 And they brought feven bullocks, and feven 
rams, and feven lambs, and feven he goats,, for a 
c fin offering for the kingdom, and for the fancluary, 
and for Judah : and he commanded the priefts, the 
fons of Aaron, to offer them on the altar of the Lord. 

22 So they killed the bullocks, and the priefts 
received the blood, and d fprinkled zVon the altar ; like- 
wife, when they had killed the rams they fprinkled HebT^i; 
the blood upon the altar ; they killed alio the Iambs, 

and they fprinkled the blood upon the altar. 

23 And they brought \ forth the he goats for the t Heb..»«ari 
fin offering before the king and the congregation ; and 
they laid their e hands upon them. 

24 And the priefts killed them, and they made rec- 
onciliation with their blood upon the altar, to make 
an atonement for all Ifrael ; for the king commanded 
that the burnt offering and the fin offering should be 
made for all Lsrael. 

25 f And he fet the Levites in the houfe of the Lo r d 
with cymbals, with pfalteries, and with harps, accord- 
ing to the commandment of David, and of Gad the 
king's feer, and Nathan the prophet : for so was the 
commandment f of the Lord f by his prophets. • 

26 And the Levites flood with the inftruments of 
David, and the priefts with the trumpets. thcldnlof. 

'ill And Hezekiah commanded to offer the burnt 
offering upon the altar : and t when the burnt offering 
began, the fong of the Lord began also with the 
trumpets, and with the t inftruments ordained by Da- 
vid king of Ifrael. 

28 And all the congregation worfhipped, and the 
f fingers fang, and the trumpeters founded : and all 
this continued until the burnt offering was finifhed. 

29 And when they had made an end of offering, 
the king and all that were f prefent with him, bowed 
themfelves, and worfhipped. 

30 Moreover, Hezekiah the king, and the princes, 
commanded the Levites to fing praife unto the Lord 
with the words of David, and of Afaph the feer : and 
they fang praifes with gladnefs, and they bowed their 
heads and worfhipped. 

31 Then Hezekiah anfwered and faid, Now ye 

have || confecrated yourfelves unto the Lord, come \whllt 
near, and bring facrifices and thank offerings into the 
houfe of the Lord. And the congregation brought 
in facrifices and thank offerings : and, as many as were 
of a free heart, burnt offerings. 

32 And the number of the burnt offerings, which 
the congregation brought, was threefcore and ten 
bullocks, an hundred tarns, and two hundred lambs ; 
all thefe Were for a burnt offering to th# Lord. 

33 And the confecrated things were fix hundred 
oxen, and three thoufand fheep.

34 But the priefts were too few, fo that they could 
not flay all the burnt offerings : wherefore their breth- 
ren the Levites f did help them, till the work was 
ended, and until the other priefts had fan6tified them- 
felves : for the Levites were more upright in heart to 
fanfitify themfelves than the priefts. 

35 And alfo the burnt offerings were in abundance, 
with the fat of the peace offerings, and the drink of- 
ferings for every burnt offering. So the fervice of the 
houfe of the Lord was fet in order. 

36 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that 
God had prepared the people : for the thing was done 
fuddenly. 

CHAP. XXX. 

I Hezekiah proclaimeth a solemn passover on the sec- 
ond month for Judab and Israel. 13 The assembly, 
having destroyed the altars of idolatry , keep the feast 
fourteen days. 

ND Hezekiah fent to all Ifrael and Judah, and 

wrote letters alfo to Ephraim and Manaffeh, that 

they fhould come to the houfe of the Lord at Jerufa- 

lem, to keep the paffover unto the Lord God of Ifrael. 

2 For the king had taken counfel, and his princes 
and all the congregation in Jerufalem, to keep the paff- 
over in the a fecond month, 

3 For they could not keep it at that time, becaufe 
the priefts had not fanctified themfelves fufficiently, 
neither had the people gathered themfelves together 
to Jerufalem. 

4 And the thing I - pleafed the king and all the con- 
gregation. 

5 So they eftablifhed a decree to make proclamation 
throughout ail Ifrael, from Beerfheba even to Dan, 
that they fhould come to keep the paffover unto the 
Lord God of Ifrael at Jerufalem : for they had not 
done it of a long time in such sort as it was written. 

6 So the polls went with the letters f from the king 
and his princes throughout all Ifrael and Judah, and 
according to the commandment of the king, faying, 
Ye children of Ifrael, turn again unto the Lord God 
of Abraham, Ifaac, and Ifrael, and he will return to the 
remnant of you that are efcaped out of the hand of the 
kings of Affyria. 

7 And be not ye like your fathers, and like your 
brethren, which trefpalfed againft the Lord God of 
their fathers, who, therefore, gave them up to defla- 
tion, as ye lee. 

Vi^u f rZ'!k'i l . 8 Now, fbe yc not ftiff necked, as your fathers 

" ive were, but t yield yourfelves unto the Lord, and enter 

ihehand ' into his fancluary, which he hath fanned for ever ; 

and Terve the Lord your God, that the fiercenefs of 

his wrath may turn away from you. 

9 For if ye turn again unto the Lord, your breth 
ren, and your children, shall find eompaflion before 
them that lead them captive, lb that they fhall come 

«zxod.34<=- again into his land : for the Lord your God is * grac- 
ious and merciful, and will not turn away his face 
from you, if ye return unto him. 

10 So the pofts pailed from city to city, through 
the country of Ephraim and Manaffeh, even unto Zeb- 
ulun : but diey laughed them to fcorn, and mockec 
them. 

11 Neverthelefs, divers of Afher, and ManafTeh, 
and of Zebulun, humbled themfelves, and came to 
Jerufalem.

12 Alfo in Judah the hand of God was to give them 
one heart to do the commandment of the king and of 
the princes, by the word of the Lord. 

13 TI And there affembled at Jerufalem much people 
to keep the feaft of unleavened bread in the fecond 
month, a very great congregation. 

14 And they aroie, and took away the c altars that 
were in Jerufalem, -and all the altars for incenfe took 
they away, and caft them into the brook Kidron. 

15 Then they killed the paffover on the fourteenth 
day of the fecond month ; and the priefts and the Levites 
were afhamed, and fanttified themfelves, and brought 
in the burnt offerings into the houfe of the Lord. 

16 And they flood in f their place, after their man- 
ner, according to the law of Mofes the man of God : 
the priefts fprinkledthe blood, which they received of 
the hand of the Levites : 

17 For there were many in the congregation that 
were not fanclifred ; therefore the Levites had the 
charge of the killing of the paffovers for every one 
that was not clean, to fan6tify them unto the Lord. 

18 For a multitude of the people, even many of 
Ephraim, and Manaffeh, Iffachar, and Zebulun, had 
not cleanfed themfelves, yet did they eat the paffover 
otherwife than it was written ; but Hezekiah prayed 
for them, faying, The good Lord pardon every one 

19 That prepareth his heart to feek God, the Lord 
God of his fathers, though he be not cleansed accord- 
ing to the purification of the fancluary. 

20 And the Lord hearkened to Hezekiah, and 
healed the people. 

21 And the children of Ifrael, that were f prefent 
at Jerufalem, kept the feaft of unleavened bread feven 
days with _ great gladnefs : and the Levites and the 
priefts praifed the Lord day by day, singing with 
t loud inftruments unto the Lord. 

22 And Hezekiah fpake f comfortably unto all the 
Levites, that taught the good knowledge of the Lord : 
and they did eat throughout the feaft feven days, offer- 
ing peace offerings, and making confeffion to the Lord 
God of their fathers. 

23 And the whole affembly took counfel to keep other 
feven days : and they kept otherfeven days with gladnefs. 

24 For Hezekiah king of Judah f did give to the 
congregation a-thoufand bullocks, and feven thoufand 
Iheep ; and the princes gave to the congregation a 
thoufand bullocks, and ten thoufand iheep : and a 
great number of priefts fanclified themfelves. 

25 And all the congregation of Judah, with the priefts 
and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out 
of Ifrael, and the ftrangers that came out of the land 
of Ifrael, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced. 

26 So there was great joy in Jerufalem ; for fince 
the time of Solomon, the fon of David king of Ifrael, 
there ivas not the like in Jerufalem. 

27 HThenthe priefts theLevites arofe and bleffed the 
people; and their voice was heard, and their prayer 
came up to f his holv dwelling place, even unto heaven.

OW, when all this was finifhed, all Ifrael that 

were f prefent, went out to the cities of Judah, 

and a brake the f images in pieces, and- cat down the 

groves, and threw down the high places and the altars 

nieb statues - out of all Judah and Benjamin, in Ephraim alfo and 

l^T/^Manaffeh, t until they had utterly deftroyed them all. 

Then all the children of Ifrael returned, every man to 

his poffefnon into their own cities. 

2 H And Hezekiah appointed the courfes of the 
priefts, and the Levitcs after their courfes, every man 

. according to his fervice, the priefts and Levites for 
burnt offerings, and for peace offerings, to minifter, 
and to give thanks, and to praife in the gates of the 
tents of the Lord. 

3 He appointed alfo the king's portion of his fub- 
ftance for the burnt offerings, to wit, for the morning 
and evening burnt offerings, and the burnt offerings 
for the fabbaths, and for the new moons, and for the 
fet feafts, as it is written in the Maw of the Lord. 

4 Moreover, he commanded the people that dwelt 
in Jerufalem to give the portion of the priefts and the 
Levites, that they might be encouraged in the law of 
the Lord. 

5 IF And as foon as the commandment f came 
abroad, the children of Ifrael brought in abundance 
the firft fruits of corn, wine, and oil, and || honey, and 
of all the increafe of the field ; and the tithe of ail 
things brought they in abundantly. 

6 And concerning the children of Ifrael and Judah, 
that dwelt in the cities of Judah, they alfo brought in 
the tithe of oxen and fheep, and the c tithe of holy 
things, which were confecrated unto the Lord their 
God, and laid them t by heaps. 

7 In the third month they began to lay the foundation 
of the heaps, and finifhed them in the feventh month. 

8 And when Hezekiah and the princes came and law 
the heaps, they bleffed the Lord, and his people Ifrael. 

9 Then Hezekiah queftioned with the priefts and 
the Levites concerning the heaps. 

10 And Azariah the chief prieft, of the houfe of 
Zadok, anfwered him, and faid, Since the people began 
to bring the offerings into the houfe of the Lord, we 
have had enough to eat, and have left plenty : for the 
Lord hath bleffed his people, and that which is left is 
this great ftore. 

11 Tf Then Hezekiah commanded to prepare || cham- 
bers in the houfe of the Lord; and they prepared them, 

12 And brbught in the offerings, and the tithes, and 
the dedicated things, faithfully : over which Cononiah 
the Levite was ruler, and Shimei his brother was the 
next. 

13 And Jehiel, and Azaziah, and Nahath, and Afa- 
hel, and Jerimoth, and Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ifma- 
chiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, were overfeers, 
t under the hand of Cononiah, and Shimei his brother, 
at the commandment of Hezekiah the king, and Aza- 
riah the ruler of the houfe of God. 

14 And Kore the fon of Imnah the Levite, the por- 
ter toward the eaft, was over the freewill offerings of 
God, to diftribute the oblations of the Lord, and the 
moil holy things. 

15 And t next him were Eden, and Miniamin, and 
Jefhua, and Shemaiah, Amariah, and Shechaniah, in the 
cities of the priefts, in their || fet office, to give to their 
brethren by courfes, as well to the great as to the fmall.

of their fathers, and the Levites, from twenty years 
old and upward, in their charges by their courfes ; 

18 And to the genealogy of all their little ones, 
their wives, and their fons, and their daughters, 
through all the congregation : for in their || fet office 
they fanclified themfelves in holinefs : 

19 Alfo of the fons of Aaron the priefts, which were 
in the fields of the fuburbs of their cities, in every feve- 
ral city, the men that were expreffed by name, to give 
portions to all the males among the priefts, and to all 
that were reckoned by genealogies among the Levites. 

20 IT And thus did Hezekiah throughout all Judah, 
and wrought that which was good, and right, and 
truth, before the Lord his God. 

21 And in every work that he began in the fervice 
of the houfe of God, and in the law, and in the com- 
mandments, to feek his God, he did it with all his 
heart, and prospered. 

CHAP. XXXII. 

1 Sennacherib invading Judah, Hezekiah fortijieth 
Jerusalem, andencourageth his people. 9 Sennache- 
rib'- 's blasphemous message and letters. 20 Hezekiah 
and Isaiah cry to heaven : an angel destroy eth the 
Assyrian army, and their king is slain by their own 
sons. 24 Hezekiah praying in his sickness, is mirac- 
ulously recovered : but %vaxing proud, is humbled by 
God: 27 his riches and works: 31 his error in rela- 
tion to the Babylonish ambassadors : 32 he dieth ; 
Manasseh succcedeth him. 

FTER a thefe things, and the eftablifhment there- 
of, Sennacherib king of Affyriacame, and en- 
tered into Judah, and encamped againft the fenced 
cities, and thought f to win them for himfelf. 

2 And when Hezekiah faw that Sennacherib was 
come, and that f he was purpofed to fight againft Je- 
rufalem, 

3 He took cou'nfel with his princes and his mighty 
men, to ftop the waters of the fountains which were 
without the city, and they did help him. 

4 So there was gathered much people together, 
who flopped all the fountains, and the brook that f ran ^ r f u , eJ 
through the midft of the land, faying, Why fhould the 
kings of Affyria come and find much water ? 

5 Alfo he'ftrengthened himfelf, and built up all the 
wall that was broken, and raifed it up to the towers, and 
another wall without, and repaired Millo in the city of 
David, and made || darts and fhields in abundance. 

6 And he fet captains of war over the people, and 
gathered them together to him in the ftreet of the gate 
of the city, and f fpake comfortably to them, faying,

on do ye truft, that ye abide || in thefiege in Jerufalem ? 
11 Doth not Hezekiah perfuade ycu to give over 
yourfelves to die by famine and by thirft, faying, The 
Lord our God fhall deliver us out of the hand of 
the king of Alfyria ? 

_ 12 Hath not the fame Hezekiah taken away his 
high places and his altars, and commanded Judah 
and Jerufalem r faying, Ye fhall worfhip before one 
altar, and burn incenfe upon it ? 

13 Know ye not what I and my fathers have done 
unto all the people of other lands ? were the gods of 
the nations of thofe lands any ways able to deliver 
their lands out of mine hand ? 

14 Who was there among all the gods of thofe 
nations that my fathers utterly deftroyed, that could 
deliver his people out of mine hand, that your God 
fhould be able to deliver you out of mine hand ? 

15 Now, therefore, let not Hezekiah deceive, you, 
nor perfuade you on this manner, neither yet believe 
him : for no god of any nation or kingdom was able 
to deliver his people out of mine hand, and out of the 
hand of my fathers ; how much lefs fhall your God 
deliver you out of mine hand I 

16 And his fervants fpake yet more againft the 
Lord God, and againft his fervant Hezekiah. 

17 He wrote alfo letters to rail on the Lord God 
of Ifrael, and to fpeak againft him, faying, As the 
gods of the natrons of other lands have not delivered 
their people out of mine hand, fo Ihall not the God 
of Hezekiah deliver his people out of mine hand. 

18 Then they cried with a loud voice, in the Jews' 
fpeech, unto the people of Jerufalem that were on the 
wall, to affright them, and to trouble them, that they 
might take the city. 

19 And they fpake againft the God of Jerufalem as 
againft the gods of the people of the earth, which 
were the work of the hands of man. 

20 11 And for this cause Hezekiah the king, and the 
prophet Ifaiah the fon of Amoz, prayed and cried to 
heaven. 

21 f And the Lord fent an angel, which cutoff all 
the mighty men of valour, and the leaders and cap- 
tains,, in the camp of the king of Alfyria : fo he re- 
turned with fhame of face to his own land. And, 
when he was come into the houfe of his god, they 
that came forth of his own bowels f flew him there 
with the fvvord. 

22 Thus the Lord faved Hezekiah, and the inhab- 
itants of Jerufalem, from the hand of Sennacherib 
the king of Affyria, and from the hand of all other, 
and guided them on every fide. 

23 And many brought gifts unto the Lord to Je- 
rulaiem, and f prefents to Hezekiah king of Judah : 
fo that he was magnified in the fight of all nations 
from thenceforth. 

24 II 'In thofe days Hezekiah wasfick to the death, 
and prayed, unto the Lord : and he fpake unto him, 
and he || gave him a fign. 

25 But Hezekiah rendered not again, according to 
the benefit done unto him ; for his heart was lifted up : 
therefore there was wrath upon him, and upon Judah 
and Jerufalem. 

26 Notwithftanding, Hezekiah humbled himfelf for 
f the pride of his heart, (both he and the inhabitants 
of Jerufalem,) fo that the wrath of the Lord came not 
upon them in the days of Hezekiah.

for gold, and for precious ttones, and for fpices, and 
for fhields, and for all manner of f pleafant jewels ; 

28 Storehoufes alfo for the increafe of corn, and

29 Moreover, he provided him cities, and poffef-

given him fubftance very much. 

30 This fame Hezekiah alfo flopped the upper 
water courfe of Gihon, and brought itftraight down 
to the weft fide of the city of David. And Hezekiah 
profpered in all his works. 

31 1[ Howbeit, in the business o/the f ambaffadors of 
the princes of Babylon, who f lent unto him to inquire 
of the wonder that was done in the land, God left him to 
try him, that he might know all that was in his heart.

his tgoodnefs, behold, they are written in the vifion 
of Ifaiah the prophet, the fon of Amoz, and 'in the 
book of the kings of Judah and Ifrael. 

33 And Hezekiah flept with his fathers,, and they 
buried him. in the || chiefeft of the fepulchres of the

9 So ManaiTch made Judah and the inhabitants of 
Jerufalem to err, and to do worfe than the heathen, 
whom the Lord had deftroyed before the children 
of Ifrael. 

10 II And the Lord fpake to Manaffeh, and to his 
people : but they would not hearken. 

11 Wherefore the Lord brought upon them the 
captains ofthehoft fof the king of Affyria, which 
took Manaffeh among the thorns, and bound ham 
with II fetters, and carried him to Babylon. 

12 And when he was in affliction, he befought the 
Lord his God, and humbled himfelf greatly before 
the God of his fathers, 

13 And prayed unto him ; and he was entreated of 
him, and heard his fupplication, and brought him 
again to Jerusalem into his kingdom. Then Manaffeh 
knew that the Lord he was God. 

14 IT Now r after this he built a wall without the city 
of David, on the weft fide of Gihon, in the valley, 
even to the entering in at the fifh gate, and compafs- 
ed about II Ophel, and railed it up a very great height, 
and put captains of war in all the fenced cities of Judah. 

15 And he took away the Grange gods, and the idol 
out of the houfe of the Lord, and all the altars that 
he had built in the mount of the houfe of the Lord, 
and in jerufalem, and caft them out of the city. 

16 And he repaired the altar of the Lord, and fac- 
rificed thereon peace offerings, and thank offerings, 
and commanded Judah to fervethe Lord God of Ifrael. 

17 Neverthelefs,, the people did facrince ftill in the 
high places, yet unto the Lord their God only. 

18 TTNow the reft of the a£ts of Manaffeh, and 
his prayer unto his God, and the words of the feers 
that fpake to him in the name of the Lord God of 
Ifrael, behold, they arc ■written in the book of the 
kings of Ifrael j 

19 His prayer alfo, and how God was entreated of 
him, and all his fins, and his trefpafs, and the places 
wherein he built high places, and fet up groves and 
graven images, before he was humbled, behold, they 
are written among the fayings of j| the feers. 

20 II So Manaffeh flept with his fathers, and they 
buried him in his own houfe : and Anion his fon 
reigned in his ftead. 

21 H g Amon was two and twenty years old when he 
began to reign ; and reigned two years in Jerufalem : 

22 But he did that which was evil in the fight of the 
Lord, as did Manaffeh his father : for Amon facrifi- 
ced unto all the carved images which Manaffeh his 
father had made, and ferved them ; 

23 And humbled not himfelf before the Lord, as 
Manaffeh his father had humbled himfelf: but Amon 
f trefpaffed more and more, 

_ 24 And his fervants confpired againft him, and flew 

him in his own houfe. 

25 If But the people of the land flew all them that

JOSIAH a u'^eightyearsoldwhenhe beganto reign; 
and he reigned in Jerufalem one and thirty years. 

2 And he did that which -was right in the light of the 
Lord, and walked in the ways of David his father, 
and declined neither to the right hand nor to the left. 

3 H For in the eighth year cf his reign, while he was 
yet young, he began to feek after -the God of David 
his father : and in the twelfth year he began to b purge 
Judah and Jerufalem from the high places, and the 
groves, and the carved images, and the molten 
images. 

4 c And they brake down the altars of Baalim in his 
preJence ; and the || images that were on high above 
them he cut down ,; and the groves, and the carved 
images, and the molten images, he brake in pieces, 
and made duft of them, and ftrowed it upon the 
f graves of them that had facrificed unto them. 

5 And he burnt the bones of the priefts upon their "e r «^ 
altars, and cleanfed Judah and Jerufalem. 

6 And so did he in the cities of Manaffeh, and 
Ephraim, and Simeon, even unto Naphtali, with 
their || mattocks round about.

the groves, and had beaten the graven images t into ^" e 3 b *V 
powder, and cut down all the idols throughout all the ^™ der - 
land of Ifrael, he returned to Jerufalem. 

8 II Now, in the eighteenth year of his reign, when &4 ' 
he had purged the land, and the houfe, he fent Sha- 
phan the fon of Azaliah, and Maafeiah the governor 

of the city, and Joah the fon of Joahaz the recorder, 
to repair the houfe of the Lord his God. 

9 And when they came to Hilkiah the high prieft, 
they delivered die money that %vas brought into the 
houfe of God, which the Levites that kept the doors 
had gathered of the hand of Manaffeh and Ephraim, 
and of all the remnant of Ifrael, and of all Judah and 
Benjamin, and they returned to Jerufalem. 

10 And they put it in the hand of the workmen 
that had the overfight of the houfe of the Lord, and 
they gave it to the workmen that wrought in the houfe 
of the Lord, to repair and amend the houfe ; 

1 1 Even to the artificers and builders gave they it, 
to buy hewn ftone, and timber for couplings, and 
|| to floor the houfes which the kings of Judah had 
deftroyed. 

12 And the men did the work faithfully : and the 
overfeers of them were Jahath and Obediah, the Le- 
vites, of the fons of Merari ; and Zechariah and Me- 
fliullum, of the fons of the Kohathites, to fet it for- 
ward ; and other of 'the Levites, all that could fkill of 
inftruments of mufic. 

13 Alfo they were over the bearers of burdens, 
and were overfeers of all that wrought the work in 
any manner of fervice : and of the Levites there were 
fcribes, and officers, and porters. 

14 % And when they brought out the money that 
was brought into the houfe of the Lord, Hilkiah the 
prieft d found a book of the law of the Lord given 
f by Mofes. 

15 And Hilkiah anfwered and faid to Shaphan the &*Sfo

16 And Shaphan carried the book to the king, and 
brought the king word back again, faying, All that 
was committed t to thy fervants, they do it. 

17 And they have f gathered together the mcney 
thatvjas found in the houfe of the Lord, and have 
delivered it into the hand of the overfeers, and to the 
hand of the workmen-. 

18 Then Shaphan the fcribe told the king, faying, 
Hilkiah the priefthath given me a book. And Sha- 
phan read f it before the king. 

19 And it came to pafs, when the king had heard 
the words of the law, that he rent his clothes. 

20 And the king commanded Hilkiah, and Ahikam 
the fon of Shaphan, and || Abclon the fon of Micah, 
and Shaphan the fcribe, and Afaiah a fervant of the 
king, faying,. 

21 Go, inquire of the Lord for me, and for them 
that are left in Ifrael, and in Judah, concerning the 
words of the book that is found : for great is the 
wrath of the Lord that is poured out upon us, becaufe 
our fathers have not kept the word of the Lord, to 
do after all that is written in this book. 

22 And Hilkiah, md'tbey that the king bad appoint- 
ed, went to Huldah the prophetefs, the wife of Shai- 
lum, the fon of Tikvath, the fon of (| Hafrah, keeper 
of the t wardrobe ; (now fhe dwelt in Jerufalem || in 
the college ;) and they fpake to her to that effect. 

23 II And flie anfwered them, Thus faith the 
Lord God of Ifrael, Tell ye the man that fent you 
to me, 

24 Thus faith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil 
upon this place, and upon the inhabitants thereof, even 
all the curies that are written in the book which they 
have read before the king of Judah : 

25 Becaufe they have forfaken me, and have burned 
incenfe unto other gods, that they might provoke me 
to anger with all the works of their hands ; therefore, 
my wrath fhall be poured out upon this place, and 
fhall not be quenched. 

26 And as for the king of Judah, who fent you to 
inquire of the Lord, fo fhall ye fay unto him, Thus 
faith the Lord God of Ifrael, concerning the words 
which thou haft heard ; 

27 Becaufe thine heart was tender, and thou didft 
humble thyfelf before God, when thou heardeft his 
words againft this place, and againft the inhabitants 
thereof, and humbledft thyfelf before me, and didft 
rend thy clothes, and weep before me, I have even 
heard thee alfo, faith the Lord. 

28 Behold, I will gather thee to thy fathers, and 
thou lhalt be gathered to thy grave in peace, neither 

.ihall thine eyes fee all the evil that I will bring upon 
this place, and upon the inhabitants of the fame. So 
they brought the king word again. 

29 II e Then the king fent and gathered together all 
the elders of Judah and Jerufalem. 

30 And the king went up into the houfe of the 
Lord, and all the men of Judah and the inhabitants 
of Jerufalem, and the priefts, and the Levites, and all 
the people, f great and fmall ; and he read in their ears 
all the words of the book of the covenant that was 
found in the houfe of the Lord. 

31 And the king flood in his place and made a 
covenant before the Lord, to walk after the Lord, 
and to keep his commandments, and his teftimonies, 
and his ftatutes, with all his heart, and with all his

32 And he caufed all that were f prefent in Jerufa-

of Jerufalem did according to the covenant of God, 
the God of their fathers. 

33 And Jofiah took away all the abominations out 
of all the countries that pertained io the children of 
Ifrael, and made all that ivere prefent in Ifrael to ferve 
even to ferve the Lord their God. And all his days 
they departed not f from following the Lord, the

OREOVER, a Jolkih kept a paffover unto the 
Lord in Jerufalem ; and they killed the paff- 
over on the b fourteenth day of the firft month. 

2 And he fet the priefts in their charges, and encour- 
aged them to the fervice of the houfe of the Lord ; 

3 And faid unto the Levites that taught all Ifrael, 
which were holy unto the Lord, Put the holy ark in the

7 And Jofiah f gave to the people, of the flock, lambs 
and kids, all for the paffover offerings for all that were 
prefent, to the number of thirty thoufand and three 
thoufand bullocks : thefe were of the king's fubftance. 

8 And his princes f gave willingly unto the people, 
to the priefts, and to the Levites; Hilkiah, and Zecha- 
riah, and Jehiel, rulers of the houfe of God, gave un- 
to the priefts, for the paffover offerings, two thoufand 
and fix hundred small cattle, and three hundred oxen. 

9 Conaniah alfo, and_ Shemaiah and Nethaneeh 
his brethren, and Hafhabiah andJeiel, and Jozabad, 
chief of the Levites, f gave unto the Levites, for 
pafibver offerings, five thoufand small cattle, and five 
hundred oxen. 

10 So the fervice was prepared, and the priefts 
flood in their place, and the Levites in their courfes 
according to the king's commandment. 

11 And they killed the paffover, and the priefls 
fprinkled the blood from their hands, and the Levites 
f flayed them. 

12 And they removed the burnt offerings, that they 
might give according to the divifions of the families 
of the people, to offer unto the Lord, as it is written 
in the book of Mofes : and fo did they with the oxen. 

13 And they c roaftcd the paffover with fire, accord-

and Ifrael that were prefent, and the inhabitants of Je- 
rufalem.. 

19 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jonah was 
this paffover kept. 

20 II k After all this, wlien Jofiah had prepared the 
t temple, Necho king of Egypt came up to fight againft 
Carchemifh by Euphrates z and Joiiah went out againft 
him. 

21 But he font ambaffadors to him, faying, What 
have I to do with thee, thou king of Judah? I come 
not againft thee this day, but againft f the houfe where- 
with I have war ■; for God commanded me to make 
hafte : forbear thee from meddling with God, who is 
with me, that he deftroy thee not. 

22 Neverthelefs, Joiiah would not turn his face from 
him, but difguifed himfelf that he might fight with 
him, and hearkened not unto the words of Necho from 
the mouth of God, and came to fight in the valley of 
Megiddo. 

23 And the archers fhot at king Jofiah ; and the 
king faid to his fervants, Have me away ; for I am 
fore f wounded. 

24 His fervants, therefore took hirn out of that char- 
iot, and put him in the fecond chariot that he had ; 
and they brought him to Jerufalcm, and he died, and 
was buried || in one of the fepulchres of his fathers : 

SzecTwT"' and l all Judah and Jerufalem mourned for Jofiah. 

25 If And Jeremiah lamented for Jofiah : and all the 
finging men and the finging women fpake of Jofiah in 
their lamentations to this day, and made them an or- 
dinance in Ifrael ; and, behold, they are written in the 
Lamentations. 

26 IT Now, the reft of the ac~ls of Jofiah, and his

2 Jehoahaz was twenty and three years old when 
he began to reign ; and he reigned three months in 
Jerufalem. 

3 And the king of Egypt f put him down at Jerufa-

of filver, and a talent of gold. 

4 And the king of Egypt made Eliakim his brother 
king over Judah and Jerufalem, and turned his name 
to Jehoiakim. And Necho took Jehoahaz his brother, 
and carried him to Egypt. 

5 II Jehoiakim was twenty and five years old when 
he began to reign - ; and he reigned eleven years in Je- 
rufalem ; and he did that which was evil in the light 
of the Lord his God. 

6 Againft him came up Nebuchadnezzar king of 
Babylon, and bound him in || fetters, to carry him to 
Babylon. 

7 b Nebuchadnezzar alfo carried off the veffels of b 2 Kings 
the houfe of the Lord to Babylon, and put them in his S 1 ■. 
temple at Babylon. 

8 Now the reft of the acts of Jehoiakim and his 
abominations which he did, and that which was found 
in him, behold, they are written in the book of the 
kings of Ifrael and Judah : and || Jehoiachin his fon

2 Thus faith Cyrus king of Perfia, the Lord God

3 Who is there among you of all his people ? his 
God be with him, and let him go up to Jerufalem, 
which ism Judah, and build the houfe of the Lord 
God of Ifrael (he is the God) which is in Jerufalem. 

_ 4 And whofoever remaineth in any place where he 
fojourneth, let the men of his place f help him with 
filver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beafts, 
befide the freewill offering for the houfe of God that 
is in Jerufalem. 

5 If Then rofe up the chief of the fathers of Judah 
and Benjamin, and the priefts, and the Levites, with 
all them whole fpirit God had raifed, to go up to build 
the houfe of the Lord which is in Jerufalem. 

6 And all they that were about them || ftrengthened 
their hands with veffels of filver, with gold, with 

Is, and with beafts, and with precious things, be- 
fide all that was willingly offered. 

7 11 Alio Cyrus the king brought forth the veffels of

5 And'afterward ofered the continual burnt offering, 
both of the new moons, and of all the fet feafts of the 
Lord that w <ere confe crated, and of every one that 
willingly offered a freewill offering unto the Lord. 

6 From the firft day of the feventh month began 
they to offer burnt offerings unto the Lord : but t the 
foundation of the temple of the Lord was not yet laid. 

7 If They gave money aifo unto the mafons, and to 
the || carpenters ; and meat, and drink, and oil, unto 
them of Ziclon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar 
trees from Lebanon to the fea of e Joppa; according 
to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Perfia. 

8 If Now, in the fecond year of their coming unto 
the houfe of God at Jerufalem, in the fecond month, 
began Zerubbabel the fon of Shealtiel, and Jefhua the 
fon of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the 
priefts and the Levites, and all they that were come 
out of the captivity unto Jerufalem, and appointed 
the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to fet 
forward the work of the houfe of the Lord. 

9 Then ftood Jefh.ua, with his fons and his breth- 
ren, Kadmiel and his fons, the fons of || Judah, t to- 
gether, to fet forward the workmen in the houfe of 
God : the fons of Henadad, with their fons and their 
brethren the Levites. 

10 And when the builders laid the foundation of 
the temple of the Lord, they fet the priefts in their 
apparel with trumpets, and the Levites, the fons of 
Afaph, with cymbals, to praife the Lord, after the 
f ordinance of David king of Ifrael. 

11 And they fang together by courfe, in praifing 
and giving thanks unto the Lord ; becaufe he is good, 
for his mercy endureth for ever toward Ifrael. And 
all the people f houted with a great fliout when they 
praifed the Lord, becaufe the foundation of the houfe 
of the Lord was laid. 

12 But many of the priefts and Levites, and chief 
of the fathers, who were ancient men, that had feen 
the firft houfe, when the foundation of this houfe was 
laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice, and 
many fhouted aloud for joy ; 

13 So that the people could not difcern the noife 
of the fliout of joy from the noife of the weeping of 
the people : for the people fhouted with a loud fliout, 
and the noife was heard afar off. 

CHAP,. IV. 

1 The adversaries of the Jews, offering to join in build- 
ing of the temple, mid not being accepted, endeavour 
to hinder the work : 7 they write to Artaxerxes. 17 
Artaxerxes' answer and his decree. 23 The build- 
ing is hindered. 

NOW when the adverfaries of Judah and Benja- 
min heard that f the children of the captivity 
builded the temple unto the Lord God of Ifrael. 

2 Then they came to Zerubbabel, and to the chief 
of the fathers, and laid unto them, Let us build with 
you ; for we fcek your God, as ye do ; and we do fac- 
rifice unto him lince the days of Efarhaddon king of 
Affur, which brought us up hither. 

3 But Zerubbabel, and Jefhua, and the reft of the 
chief of the fathers of Ifrael, faid unto them, Ye have 
nothing to do with us to build an houfe unto our 



God ; but we ourfelves together will build unto the 
Lord God of Ifrael, as king Cyrus the king of Perfia 
hath commanded us. 

4 Then the people of the land weakened the hands of 
the people of Judah, and troubled them in building, 

5 And hired counfellors againft them, to fruftrate 
their purpofe, all the days of Cyrus king ofPeriia, 
even until the reign of Darius king of Perfia. 

6 And in the reign of f Ahafuerus, in the begin- 
ning of his reign, wrote they unto him an accufation 
againft the inhabitants of Judah and Jerufalem. 

7 If And in the days of Artaxerxes wrote || Bifhlam, 
Mithredath, Tabeel, and the reft of their | compan- 
ions, unto Artaxerxes king of Perfia ; and the writ- 
ing of the letter was written in the Syrian tongue, and 
|| interpreted in the Syrian tongue. 

8 Rehum the chancellor, and Shimfhai the || fcribe, 
wrote a letter againft Jerufalem to Artaxerxes the 
king, in this fort : 

9 Then wrote Rehum the chancellor, and Shimfhai

, another commandment fhall be given from me. 

22 Take heed now that ye fail not to do this : why 
fhould damage grow to the hurt of the kings ? 

23 IT Now, when the copy of king Artaxerxes' 
letter was read before Rehum, and Shimfhai thefcribe, 
and their companions, they went up in halle to Jeru- 
Iklem unto the Jews, and made them to ceafe t by 
force and power. 

24 Then ceafed the work of the houfe of God 
which is at Jerufalem. _ So it ceafed unto the fecond 
year of the reign of Darius king of Perfia. 

CHAP. V. 

1 Zerubbabel and Jeshua incited by Haggai and Ze- 
chariah, begin again to build in the reign of Darius. 
3 Tatnai and Shetharboznai are not able to prevent 
them. 

THEN the prophets, a Haggai the prophet, and 
b Zechariah the fon of Iddo, prophefied unto 
the Jews that were in Judah and Jerufalem, in the 
name of the God of Ifrael, even unto them. 

2 Then rofe up Zerubbabel the fon of Shealtiel, 
and Jefhua the fon of Jozadak, and began to build 
the houfe of God which is at Jerufalem : and with 
them were the prophets of God helping them. 

3 If At the fame time came to them Tatnai, governor 
on this iide the river, and Shetharboznai , and their com- 
panions, and faid thus unto them, Who hath command- 
ed you to build this houfe, and to make up this wall ? 

4 Then faid we unto them after this manner. What 
are the names of the men t that make this building ? 

5 But the eye of their God was upon the elders of 
the Jews, that they could not caufe them to ceafe, 
till the matter came to Darius : and then they re- 
turned anfvver by letter concerning this matter. 

6 If The copy of the letter that Tatnai, governor 
on this fide the river, and Shetharboznai, and his 
companions the Apharfachites, which were on this 
iide the river, fent unto Darius the king : _ 

7 They fent a letter unto him, t wherein was writ- 
ten thus ; Unto Darius the king, all peace. 

8 Be it known unto the king, that we went into the 
province of Judea, to the houfe of the great God, 
which is builded with f great Hones, and timber is 
laid in the Avails ; and this work goeth fall on, and 
profpereth in their hands. 

9 Thenafkedwe thole elders, and faid unto them 
thus, Who commanded you to build this houfe, and 
to make up thefe walls ? 

10 We afked their names alfo, to certify thee, that 
we might write the names of the men that were the 
chief of them. 

11 And thus they returned us anfwer, faying, We 
are the fervants of the God of heaven and earth, and 
build the houfe that was builded thefe many years ago, 
which a great king of Ifrael builded, c and fet up. 

12 But after that our fathers had provoked the God 
of heaven unto wrath, he gave them into the hand of 
d Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, the Chal- 
dean, who deftroyed this houfe, and carried the peo- 
ple away into Babylon. 

13 But in the firft year of e Cyrus the king of 
Babylon, the name king Cyrus made a decree to build 
this houfe of God. 

14 And f the veffels alfo of gold and filver of the 
houfe of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took out of

the temple that was in Jerufalem, and brought them 
into the temple of Babylon, thofe did Cyrus the king 
take out of the temple of Babylon, and they were 
delivered unto one whofe name was Shefhbazzar, 
whom he had made || governor ; 

15 And faid unto him, Take thefe veffels, go, carry 
them into the temple that is in Jerufalem, and let the 
houfe of God be builded in his place. 

16 Then came the fame Shefhbazzar, and laid 
the foundation of the houfe of God, which is in Jeru- 
falem. And fmce that time, even until now, hath it 
been in building, and yet it is not fmifhed. 

17 Now, therefore, if it seem good to the king, 
let there be fearch made in the king's treafure houfe, 
which is there at Babylon, whether it be so, that a de- 
cree was made of Cyrus the king to build this houfe 
of God at Jerufalem, and let the king fend his pleas- 
ure to us concerning this matter. 

CHAP. VI. 

1 Darius, finding the decree of Cyras, maketh a new 
decree for the advancement of the building. 13 Tat- 
nai and Shetharboznai assisting, according to the 
king's decree, the temple is finished. 16 The feast 
of the dedication is kept, and the passover, with 
great joy. 

THEN Darius die king made a decree, and fearch 
was made in the houfe of the f rolls, where the 
treafures were f laid up in Babylon. 

2 And there was found at || Achmetha, in the palace £1"™! 
that is in the province of the Medes, a roll, and there- I5IW 
in was a record thus written : °J^* a 

3 In the firft year of Cyrus the king, the same 
Cyrus the king made a decree concerning the houfe of 
God at Jerufalem, Let the houfe be builded, the place 
where they offered facrifices, and let the foundations 
thereof be ftrongly laid ; the height thereof threefcore 
cubits, and the breadth thereof threefcore cubits ; 

4 With three rows of great ftones, and a row of 
new timber ; and let the expenfes be given out of 
the king's houfe. 

5 And alfo let the golden and filver veffels of the 
houfe of God, which Nebuchadnezzar took forth out 
of the temple which is at Jerufalem, and brought unto 
Babylon, be reftored, and f brought again unto the tchsid. 
temple which is at Jerufalem, every one to his place, s °' 
and place them in the houfe of God. 

6 Now-, therefore, Tatnai, governor beyond the 
river, Shetharboznai, and f your companions the 
Apharfachites, which are beyond the river, be ye far 
from thence : 

7 Let the work of this houfe of God alone ; let the 
governor of the Jews, and the elders of the Jews, build 
this houfe of God in his place. 

8 Moreover, f I make a decree what ye fliall do tchaw. 
to the elders of thefe Jews for the building of this l™eh 
houfe of God; thatof the king's goods, even of the 
tribute beyond the river, forthwith expenfes be given 
unto thefe men, that they be not f hindered. 

9 And that which they have need of, both young 
bullocks, and rams, and lambs, for the burnt offerings 
of the Godof heaven, wheat, fait, wine, and oil, accord- 
ing to the appointment of the priefts which are at Je- 
rufalem, let it be given them day by day without fail ;

15 And this houfe was finifhed on the third day of

17 And offered at the dedication of this houfe of 
God an hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four 
hundred lambs ; and, for a fin offering for all Ifrael, 
twelve he goats, according to the number of the 
tribes of Ifrael. 

18 And they fet the priefts in their diyifions, and 
the Levites in their courfes, for the fervice of God 
which is at Jerufaiem ; t a as it is written in the book 
ofMofes. 

19 And the children of the captivity kept the paff-

20 For the priefts and the Levites were purified 
together ; all of them were pure, and killed the paffover 
for all the children of the captivity, and for their breth-

21 And the children of Ifrael, which were come

6 This Ezra went up from Babylon ; and he -was C huTst 
a ready fcribe in the law of Mofes, which the Lord v _ - ^J^, 
God of Ifrael had given : and the king granted him 

all his requeft, according to the hand of the Lord 
his God upon him. 

7 And there went up some of the children of 
Ifrael, and of the priefts, and the Levites, and the 
lingers, and the porters, and the Nethinims, unto 
Jerufaiem, in the feventh year of Artaxerxes the king. 

8 And he came to Jerufaiem in the fifth month, 
which was in the feventh year of the king. 

9 For upon the firft day of the firft month t began ^S% 
he to go up from Babylon, and on the firft day of the {■?"/;'"'* 
fifth month came he to Jerufaiem, according to the g<»«e«p- 
good hand of his God upon him. 

10 For Ezra had prepared his heart to feek the 
law of the Lord, and to do it, and to teach in Ifrael 
ftatutes and judments. 

11 11 Now this is the copy of the letter that the 
king Artaxerxes gave unto Ezra the prieft, the fcribe, 
even a fcribe of the words of the commandments of 
the Lord, and of his ftatutes to Ifrael. 

12 Artaxerxes, king of kings ; || Unto Ezra the 
prieft, a fcribe of the law of the God of heaven, per- 
fect: peace, and at fuch a time. 

13 I make a decree, that all they of the people of 
Ifrael, and of his priefts and Levites, in my realm, 
which are minded of their own free will to go up to 
Jerufaiem, go with thee. 

14 Forafmuch as uhou art fent f of the king, and of t 
his a feven counfellors, to inquire concerning Judah 
and Jerufaiem, according to the law of thy God which 
is in thine hand ; 

15 And to carry the filver and gold, which the king 
and his counfellors have freely offered unto the Gocl 
of Ifrael, whofe habitation is in Jerufaiem ; 

16 b And all the filver and gold that thou canft find jj^f* 
in all the province of Babylon, with the freewill offer- 

ing of the people, and of the priefts, offering willingly 
for the houfe of their God which is in Jerufaiem ; 

17 That thou mayeft buy fpeedily with this money 
buflocks ; ramsj lambs, with their meat offerings and 
their drink ofterings, and offer them upon the altar 
of the houfe of your God which is in Jerufaiem. 

18 And whatfoever fhall feem good to thee, and to 
thy brethren, to do with the reft of the filver and the 
gold, that do after the will of your God. 

_ 19 The veffeisalfo that are given thec, for the fer- 
vice of the houfe of thy God, those deliver thou before 
the God of Jerufaiem. 

20 And whatfoever more fhall be needful for the 
houfe of thy God, which thou lhalt have occafionfo 
beftow, beftow it out of the king's treafure houfe. 

21 And I, even I Artaxerxes the king, do make 
a decree to all the treai'urers which are beyond the 
river, that whatfoever Ezra the prieft, the fcribe of 
the law of the God of heaven, fhall require of you, 
it be done fpeedily ; 

22 Unto an hundred talents of filver, and to an 
hundred f mcallires of wheat, and to an hundred baths 
of wine, and to an hundred baths of oil, and fait 
without pre fcril )ing how much.

to impofe toll, tribute, or cuftom, upon them. 

25 And thou, Ezra, after the wifdom of thy God 
that is in thine hand, fet magiftrates and judges, 
which may judge all the people that are beyond the 
river, all fucli as know the laws of thy God ; and 
teach ye them that know them not. 

26 And whofoever will not do the law of thy 
God, and the law of the king, let judgment be exe-

27 U Bleffed be the Lord God of our fathers, which 
hath put such a thing as this inthe king's heart, to beau- 
tify the houfe of the Lord which is in Jerufalem ; 

28 And hath extended mercy unto me before the 
king, and his counfellors, and before all the king's 
mighty princes : and I wasftrengthened as the hand of 
the Lord my God was upon me ; and I gathered to- 
gether out of Ifrael chief men to go up with me. 

CHAP. VIII. 
1 The companions of Ezra, who returned from Baby- 
lon: 15 he sendeth to Iddo for ministers for the temple: 
21 he keepeth a fast : 24 he commute th the treasures 
to the custody of the priests. 31 From Ahava they 
come to Jerusalem. 33 The treasure is weighed in 
the temple. 

THESE are now the chief of their fathers, and this 
is the genealogy of them that went up with me 
from Babylon, in the reign of Artaxerxes the king. 

2 Of the fons of Phinehas ; Gerfliom : of the fons 
of Ithamar ; Daniel: of the fons of David; Hattuih. 

3 Of the fons of Shechaniah, of the ions of Pharofli ; 
Zechariah : and with him were reckoned, by genealo- 
gy of the males, an hundred and fifty. 

4 Of the fons of Pahathmoab ; Elihoenai the fon 
of Zerahiah, and with him two hundred males. 

5 Of the fons of Shechaniah ; the fon of Jahaziel, 
and with him three hundred males. 

6 Of the fons alfo of Adin ; Ebed the fon of Jona- 
than, and with him fifty males. 

7 And of the_ fons of Elam ; Jefhaiah the fon of 
Athaliah, and with him feventy males. 

8 And of the fons of Shephatiah ; Zebadiah the 
fon of Michael, and with him fburfcore males. 

9 Of the fons of Joab ; Obadiah the fon of Jehiel, 
and with him two hundred and eighteen males. 

10 And of the fons of Shelomith ; the fon of Jofi- 
phiah, and with him an hundred and threefcore males. 

11 And of the fons of Bebai ; Zechariah the fon of 
Bebai, and with him twenty and eight males. 

12 And of the fons of Azgad ; Johanan || the fon of 
Hakkatan, and with him an hundred and ten males. 

• 13 And of the laftfons of Adonikam, whofe names 
are thefe, Eliphelet, Jeiel, and Shemaiah, and with 
them threefcore males. 

14 Of the fons alfo of Bigvai ; Uthai, and || Zabbud, 
and with them feventy males. 

15 If And I gathered them together to the river that 
runneth to Ahava ; and there || abode we in tents three 
days : and I viewed the people, and the priefls, and 
found there none of the fons of Levi. 

16 Then fent I for Eliezer, for Ariel, for Shemaiah, 
and for Einathan, and for Jarib, and for Einathan, and 



EZRA. The treasure is weighed in the temple, 

for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Mefhullam, »«*{■* 
chief men ; alfo for Joiarib, and for Einathan, men of w- 
underflanding. y- ^ irv 

17 And I fent them with commandment unto Iddo 
the chief, at the place Cafiphia, and f I told them what * Heb - 7 , 
they fhould fay unto Iddo, and to his brethren the £«** 
Nethinims, at the place Cafiphia, that they fhould """*"" 
bring unto us miniflers for the houfe of our God. 

18 And, by the good hand of our God upon us, 
they brought us a man of underflanding, of the fons 
of Mahli, the fon of Levi, the fon of Ifrael ; and 
Sherebiah, with his fons and his brethren, eighteen ; 

19 And Hamabiah, and with him Jeihaiah of the 
fons of Merari, his brethren and their fons, twenty; 

20 a Alfo of the Nethinims, whom David and the ?.? ee 



princes had appointed for the fervice of the Levites, 
two hundred and twenty Nethinims : all of them were- 
expreffed by name. 

21 1T Then I proclaimed a fall there, at the river 
of Ahava, that we might afflict ourfelves before our 
God, to feek of him a right way for us, and for our 
little ones, and for all our fubflance. 

22 For I was afhamed to require of the king a band 
of foldiers and horfemen to help us againft the enemy 
in the way ; becaufe we had fpoken unto the king, 
faying, The hand of our God is upon all them for 
good that feek him ; but his power and his wrath is 
againft all them that forfake him. 

23 So we failed, and befought our God for this ; 
and he was entreated of us. 

24 II Then I feparated twelve of the chief of the 
priefls, Sherebiah, Halhabiah, and ten of their breth- 
ren with them, 

25 And weighed unto them the filver, and the gold, 
and the veffels, even the offering of the houfe of our 
God, which the king and his counfellors, and his 
lords, and all Ifrael there prefent, had offered ; 

26 I even weighed unto their hand fix hundred and 
fifty talents of iilver, and fiiver veffels an hundred tal- 
ents, and of gold an hundred talents ; 

27 Alfo twenty bafons of gold of a thoufand drams, 
and two veffels of' f fine copper, f precious as gold. 

28 And I faid unto them, Ye are holy unto the 
Lord ; the veffels are holy alfo ; and the filver and 
the gold are a freewill offering unto the Lord God 
of your fathers. 

29 Watch ye, and keep them, until ye weigh them 
before the chief of the priefls and the Levites, and 
chief of the fathers of Ifrael, at Jerufalem, in the 
chambers of the houfe of the Lord. 

30 So took the priefls and the Levites the weight 
of the filver, and the gold, and the veffels to bring 
them to Jerufalem, unto the houfe of our God. 

31 H Then we departed from the river of Ahava on 
the twelfth day of the firft month, to go unto Jeru- 
falem : and the hand of our God was upon us, and he 
delivered us from the hand of the enemy, and of fuch 
as lay in wait by the way. 

32 And we came to Jerufalem, and abode there 
three days. 

33 II Now on the fourth day was the filver, and the 
gold, and the veffels, weighed in the houfe of our God, 
by the hand of Meremoth the fon of Uriah the prieft ; 
and with him was Eleazar the fon of Phinehas ; and 
with them was Jozabad the fon of Jefhua, and Noa-

35 Also the children of thofe that had been carried 
away, which were come out of the captivity, offered 
burnt offerings unto the God of Ifrael, twelve bullocks 
for all Ifrael, ninety and fix rams, feventy and feven 
lambs, twelve he goats for a fin offering : all this was 
a burnt offering unto the Lord.

^TOW when thefe things were done, the princes 
^i came to me, faying, The people of Ifrael, and 
the priefts and the Levites, have not feparated them- 
felves from the people of the lands, doing _ according to 
their abominations, even of the Canaanites, the Hit- 
tites, the Perizzites, the Jebufites, the Ammonites, 
■the Moabites, the Egyptians, and the Amorites. 

2 For they have taken of their daughters for 
themfelves, and for their fons ; fo that the holy feed 
have mingled themfelves with the people of those 
lands: yea, the hand of the princes and rulers hath 
been chief in this trefpafs. 

3 And when I heard this thing, I rent my garment 
and my mantle, and plucked off the hair of my head 
and of my beard, and fat down aftonifhed. 

4 Then were affembled unto me every one that 
trembled at the words of the God of Ifrael, becaufe 
of the tranfgrefiion of thofe that had been carried 
away ; and I fat aftonifhed until the evening facrifice. 

5 11 And at the evening facrifice I arofe up from my 

II heavinefs ; and, having rent my garment and my 
mantle, I fell upon my knees, and fpread out my hands 
unto the Lord my God, 

6 And faid, O my God, I am afhamed, and blufh to 
lift up my face to thee, my God : for our iniquities 
are increafed over our head, and our || trefpafs is grown 
up unto the heavens. 

7 Since the days of our fathers have we been in a great 
trefpafs unto this day ; and for our iniquities have we, 
our kings, a?id our priefts, been delivered into the hand 
of the kings of the lands, to the fword, to captivity, and 
to a fpoil, and toconfufion of face, as it is this day. 

8 And now for a f little fpace grace hath been 
shaved from the Lord our God, to leave us a rem- 
nant to efcape, and to give us [| a nail in his holy 
place, that our God may lighten our eyes, and give us 
a little reviving in our bondage. 

9 For we were bondmen ; yet our God hath not 
forfaken us in our bondage, but hath extended mercy 
unto us in the fight of the Kings of Perfia, to give us 
a reviving to fet up the houfe of our God, and f to re- 
pair the dcfolations thereof, and to give us a wall in 
Judah and in Jerufalem. 

10 And now, O our God, what fhall we fay after 
this ? for we have forfaken thy commandments, 

1 1 Which thou haft commanded f by thy fervants 
the prophets, faying, The land, unto which yego to pof- 
fefsit, is an unclean land with thefiltliinefsofthe people 
of the lands, with their abominations, which have filled 
it f from one end to another with their uncleannefs.

1 Shechaniah encourageth Ezra to reform the abuse

sembled the people. 9 The people repent, and prom- 
ise amendment, ts>c. 

NOW when Ezra had prayed, and when he had 
confefled, weeping and calling himfelf down 
before the houfe of God, there affembled unto him 
out of Ifrael a very great congregation of men, and 
women, and children : for the people t wept very fore, t Heb. 

2 And Shechaniah the fon of Jehiel, one of the ™fj t * 
fons of Elam, anfwered and faid unto Ezra, We have ™<4»'»r- 
trefpafTed againft our God, and have taken ftrange 
wives of the people of the land : yet now 7 there is hope 

in Ifrael concerning this thing. 

3 Now, therefore, let us make a covenant with our 
God, t to put away all the wives, and fuch as are born t neb. 
of them, according to the counfel of my lord, and of $,-'£'* 
thofe that tremble at the commandment of our God ; 

and let it be done according to the law. 

4 Arife ; for this matter belongeth unto thee : we 
alfo will be with thee ; be of good courage, and do it. 

5 Then arofe Ezra, and made the chief priefts, the 
Levites, and all Ifrael, to fwear, that they fhould do 
according* to this word. And they fware. 

6 II Then Ezra rofe up from before the houfe of 
God, and went into the chamber ofJohanan the fon 
of Eliafhib : and when he came thither, he did eat no 
bread, nor drink water ; for he mourned becaufe of 
the tranfgrefiion of them that had been carried away. 

7 And they made proclamation throughout Judah 
and Jerufalem, unto all the children of the captivity, 
that they fhould gather themfelves together unto 
Jerufalem ; 

8 And that whofoever would not come within three 
days, according to the counfel of the princes and the 
elders, all his fubflance fhould be t forfeited, and 
himfelf feparated from the congregation of thofe that 
had been carried away. 

9 U Then all the men of Judah and Benjamin 
gathered themfelves together unto Jerufalem within 
three days : it was the ninth month, and the twentieth 
day of the month ; and all the people fat in the ftreet 
of the houfe of God, trembling becaufe of 'this matter, 
and for f the great rain.

12 Then ail the congregation anfwered, and faid 
with a loud voice, As thou haft faid, fo mull we do. 

13 But the people are many, and it is a time of 
much rain, _ and we are not able to Hand without, 
neither is this a work of one day or two : for || we are 
many that have tranfgreffed in this thing. 

14 Let now our rulers of all the congregation ftand,

prayer. 

THE words of Nehemiah, the fon of Hacha- 
liah. And it came to pafs in the month Chif- 
leu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shufhan the 
palace, 

2 That Hanani, one of my brethren came, he and 
certain men of Judah : and I afked them concerning 
the Jews that had efcaped, which were left of the cap- 
tivity, and concerning Jerufalem.. 

3 And they faid unto me, The remnant that are 
left of the captivity there in the province are in great 
affliction and reproach : the wall of Jerufalem alfo 

a 2 Kings a is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned 
»5 «* w 1th firev 

4 And it came to pafs, when I heard thefe words, 
that I fat down and wept, and mourned certain days, 
and failed, and prayed before the God of heaven.

heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth cov- 



enant and mercy for them that love him, and obferve 
his commandments ; 

6 Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes 
open, that thou mayeft hear the prayer of thy fervant, 
which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the 
children of Ifrael, thy fervants, and confefs the fins of 
the children of Ifrael, which we have finned againft 
thee : both I and my father's houfe have finned. 

7 We have dealt very corruptly againft thee, and 
have not kept the commandments, nor the ftatutes, 
nor the judgments, which thou commanded!! thy fer- 
vant Mofes. 

8 Remember, I befeech thee, the word that thou 
commandedfl thy fervant Mofes, faying, c If ye tranf-

11 OLord, I befeech thee, let now thine ear be 
attentive to the prayer of thy fervant, and to the prayer 
of thy fervants, who defire to fear thy name ; and 
profper, I pray thee, thy fervant this day, and grant 
him mercy in the fight of this man. For I was the 
king's cupbearer. 

CHAP. II. 

1 Artaxerxes, understanding the cause of Nehemiafrs 
sadness, scndeth him with letters and a commission to 
build the wall of Jerusalem. 9 Nehemiah delivereth 
the letters, and, to the grief of the enemies, cometh to 
Jerusalem : 12 he vieivetb secretly the ruins of the 
walls: 17 he encourageththe Jews to build, despising 
the scorn of the enemies. 

AND it came to pafs in the month Nifan, in the 
twentieth year of Artaxerxes the king, that wine 
was before him : and I took up the wine, and gave 
it unto the king. Now I had not been before tune 
fad in his prefence. 

2 Wherefore the king faid unto me, Why is thy 
countenance fad, feeing thou art not fick ? this is 
nothing else but forrow of heart. Then I was very 
fore afraid, 

3 And faid unto the king, Let the king live for 
ever :- why mould not mj r countenance be fad, when 
the city, the place of my father's fepulchres, lieth wafte, 
and the gates thereof are confumed with fire ? 

4 Then the king faid unto me, For what doll thou 
make requeft ? So I prayed to the God of heaven : 

5 And I faid unto the king, Ifitpleafe the king, 
and if thy fervant have found favour in thy light, that 
thou wouldeft fend me unto Judah, unto^ the city of 
my fathers' fepulchres, that 1 may build it. 

6 And the king faid unto me, (the f queen alfo 
fitting by him,) For how long (hall thy journey be ? 
and when wilt thou return ? fo it pleafed the king to 
fend me, and I fet him a time. 

7 Moreover, I faid unto the king, If it pleafe the 
king, let letters be given me to the governors beyond 
the river, that they may convey me over till I come 
into Judah ; 

8 And a letter unto Afaph the keeper of the king's 
foreft, that he may give me timber to make beams 
for the gates of the palace which appertained to the 
houfe, and for the wall of the city, and for the houfe 
that I fliall enter into. And the king granted me, ac- 
cording to the good hand of my God upon me. 

9 If Then I came to the governors beyond the river, 
and gave them the king's letters. (Now the king had 
fent captains of the army and horfemen with me.) 

10 When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah the 
fervant, the Ammonite, heard of it, it grieved them 
exceedingly, that there was come a man to feek the 
welfare of the children oflfrael. 

11 So I came to Jerufalem, and was there three days. 

12 H And I arofe in the night, I and fome few men 
with me ; neither told I any man what my God had 
put in my heart to do at Jerufalem ; neither was there 
any beaft with me, fave the beaft that I rode upon. 

13 And I went out by night, by the gate of the valley, 
even before the dragon well, and to the dung port, 
and viewed the walls of Jerufalem, which were broken 
down^and the gates thereof were confumed with fire. 

14 Then I went on to the gate of the fountain, and 
to the king's pool : but there was no place for the 



II, III. The flames of them that builded the wall. 



m IS Then went I up in the night by the brook, and 
viewed the wall, and turned back, and entered by the 
gate of the valley, and so returned. 

16 And the rulers knew not whither I went, or what 
I did ; neither had I as yet told it to the Jews, nor to 
the priefts, nor to the nobles, nor to the rulers, nor to 
the reft that did the work. 

17 If Then faid I unto them, Ye fee the diftrefs that 
we are in, how Jerufalem lieth wafte, and the gates 
thereof are burnt with fire : come, and let us build up 
the wall of Jerufalem, that we be no more a reproach. 

18 Then I told them of the hand of my God, 
which was good upon me ; as alfo the king's words 
that he had fpoken unto me. And they faid., Let us 
rife up and build. So they ftrengthened their hands 
for this good work. 

19 But when Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiah, 
the fervant, the Ammonite, and Gefhem the Arabian, 
heard it, they laughed us to fcorn, and defpifed us, 
and faid, What is this thing that ye do ? will ye rebel 
againft the king ? 

20 Then anfwered I them, and faid unto them, 
The God of heaven, he will profper us ; therefore we 
his fervants will arife and build : but ye have no por- 
tion, nor right, nor memorial, in Jerufalem. 

CHAP. III.

UT it came to pafs, that when Sanballat heard

great indignation, and mocked the Jews. 

2 And he fpake before his brethren, and the army

them for a prey in the land of captivity :.. 

5 And cover not their iniquity, and let not their 
fin be blotted out from before thee : for they have 
provoked thee to anger before the builders. 

6 So built we the wall ; and all the wall was joined 
together unto the half thereof : for the people had a 
mind to work. 

7 IT But it came to pafs, that when Sanballat, and 
Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and 
the Afhdodites, heard that the walls of Jerufalem 
t were made up, and that the breaches began to be 
flopped, then they were very wroth, 

8 And confpired all of them together, to come and 
to fight againft Jerufalem, and f to hinder it. 

9 Neverthelefs, we made our prayer unto our God, 
and fet a watch againft them day and night, becaufe 
of them. 

10 And Judah faid, the ftrength of the bearers of 
burdens is decayed, and there is much rubbifh, fo that 
we are not able to build the wall. 

11 And our adverfarieslaid, They fhali not know, 
neither fee, till we come in the midft among them, 
and flay them, and caufe the work to ceafe. 

12 And it came to pafs,. that when the Jews which 
dwelt by them came, they faid unto us ten times, 
|| From all places, whence ye fhali return unto us, 
they %vill be upon you. 

13 *H Therefore fet I f in the lower places behind 
the wall, and on the higher places, I even fet the peo- 
ple after their families with their fvvords, their fpears, 
and their bows. 

14 And I looked, and rofe up, and faid unto the no- 
bles, and to the rulers, and to the reft of the people, Be 
not ye afraid of them : remember the Lord, which is 
great and terrible, and fight for your brethren, your 
fons and your daughters, your wivesand your houfes. 

15 And it came to pafs, when our enemies heard 
that it was known unto us, and God had brought their 
counfef to nought, that we returned all of us to the 
wall, every one unto his work. 

16 And it came to pafs, from that time forth, that 
the half of my fervants wrought in the work, and the 
other half of them held both the fpears, the fhields, 
and the bows, and the habergeons ;' and the rulers were 
behind all the houfe of Judah.

17 They which buildecl on the wall, and they that

one of his hands wrought in the work, and with the 
other hand held a weapon. 

18 For the builders, every one had his fword gird- 
ed t by his fide, and so builded ; and he that founded 
the trumpet, was by me. 

19 And I laid unto the nobles, and to the rulers, 
and to the reft of the people, The work is great and 
large, and we are fepafated upon 'the wall, one far 
"from another : 

20 In what place, therefore, ye hear the found of the 
trumpet, refort ye thither unto us ; our God fhall 
■fight for us. 

21 So we laboured in the work : and half of them 
held the fpears from the rifing of the morning till the 
{tars appeared. 

22 Likewife at the fame timefaid I unto the people, 
Let every one with his fervant lodge within Jerufalem, 
that in the night they may be a guard to us, and labour 
on the day,. > 

23 So neither I, nor my brethren, nor my fervants, 
nor the men of the guard which followed me, none 
of us put off our clothes, || saving that every one put 
them off for warning. 

CHAP. V. 
1 The Jews complain of their debt, mortgage, and bon- 
dage. 6 Nehcmiah rebuketh the usurers, and ' cause th 
them tomuke a full and free restitution: lAherufuseth 
the governor 's allowance, yet keepeth hospitality , &c. 

AN D there was a great cry of the people, and of 
their wives, againft their brethren the Jews : 

2 For there were that laid, We, our fons, and our 
daughters, are many ; therefore we take up corn for 
them that we may eat, and live. _ 

3 Some alfo there were that faid, We have mortgag- 
ed our lands, vineyards, and houfes, that we might 
buy corn, becaufe of the dearth. 

4 There were alfo that faid, We have borrowed 
money for the king's tribute, and that upon our lands 
and vineyards ;' 

5 Yet now our flefh is as the flefh of our brethren, 
our children as their children ; and lo, we bring into 
bondage our fons and our daughters to be fervants, 
and some of our daughter's are brought into bondage 
already, neither is it in our power to redeem them ; for 
other men have our lands and vineyards. 

6 If And I was very angry when I heard their cry 
and thefe words. 

7 Then 1 1 confulted with myfelf, and I rebuked 
the nobles and the rulers, and faid unto them, Ye 
exa£t ufury every one of his brother, and I fet a 
great affembly againft them ; 

8 And I faid unto them , We, after our ability, 
have a redeemed our brethren the Jews which were 
fold unto the heathen ; and will ye even fell your breth- 
ren ? or fhall they be fold unto us ? Then held they 
their peace, and found nothing to answer. 

9 Alfo I laid, It is not good that ye do : ought ye 
not to walk in the fear of our God, becaufe of the 
reproach of the heathen our enemies ? 

10 I likewile, and my brethren, and my fervants 
might exact: of them money and corn : I pray you, let 
us leave off this ufury. 

11 Reftore, I pray you, to them, even this day, 
their lands, their vineyards, their olive yards, and 



their houfes, alfo the hundredth part of the money, 
and of the corn, the wine, and the oil, that ye exact , 
of them. 

12 Then faid they, We will reftore them, and will 
require nothing of them ; fo will we do as thou fayeft. 
Then I called the priefts, and took an oath of them, 
that they fhould do according to this promife. 

13 Alfo I fhook my lap, and faid, So God fhake 
out every man from his houfe, and from his labour, 
that performeth not this promife, even thus be he 
fhaken out, and t emptied. And all the congregation 
faid, Amen, andpraifed the Lord. And the people 
did according to this promife. 

14 If Moreover, from the time that I was appointed 
to be their governor in the land of Judah, from the 
twentieth year even unto the two and thirtieth year 
of Artaxerxes the king, that is, twelve years, I and 
my brethren have not eaten the bread of the governor. 

15 But the former governors, that had been before 
me, were chargeable unto the people, and had taken 
of them bread and wine, befide forty fhekels of filver ; 
yea, even their fervants bare rule over the people : 
but fo did not I, becaufe of the fear of God. 

16 Yea alfo, I continued in the work of this wall, 
neither bought we any land : and all my fervants were 
gathered thither unto the work. 

17 Moreover, there were at my table an hundred 
and fifty of the Jews and rulers, befide thofe that 
came untousfrom amongthe heathen thatare aboutus. 

18 Now that which was prepared for me daily was 
one ox, and fix choice fheep ; alfo fowls were prepar- 
ed for me ; and once in ten days ftore of all forts of 
wine : yet for all this required not I the bread of the 
governor, becaufe the bondage was heavy upon this 
people. 

19 b Think upon me, my God, for good, according 
to all that I have done for this people. 

C H A P. VL 
1 Sanballat practiseth against Nehemiah by insidious

15 The wall is finished to the great dismay of the 
enemies. 17 The nobles of Judah hold trailer ous in- 
telligence with Tobiah. 

NOW it came to pafs, when Sanballat and Tobiah 
and Gefhem the Arabian, and the reft of our 
enemies heard that I had builded the wall, and that 
there was no breach left therein, (though at that time 
I had not fet up the doors upon the gates,) 

2 That Sanballat and Gefhem fent unto me, fay- 
ing, Come, let us meet together in some one of the 
villages in the plain of Ono : but they thought to do 
me mifchief. 

3 And I fent meffengers unto them, faying, \ani 
doing a great work, fo that I cannot conic down : why 
fhould the work ceafe, whilft 1 leave it, and come 
down to you ? 

4 Yet they fent unto me four times after this fort : 
and I anfwered them after the fame manner. 

5 If Then fent Sanballat his fervant unto me, in like 
manner, the fifth time, with an open letter in his hand ; 

6 Wherein was written, It is reported among the 
heathen, and || Gafhmu faith it, that thou and the 
Jews think to rebel : for which caufe thou buildeft 
the wall, that thou mayeft be their king, according 
to thefe words.

of thee at Jerufalem, faying, There is a king in Juck.'' j 
and now fhall it be reported to the king according 
to thefe words. Come now, therefore, and let us take 
counfeS together. 

8 Then I lent unto him, faying, There are no fuch 
things done as thou fayeft, but thou feigneft them out 
of thine own heart. 

9 For they all made us afraid, faying, Their hands 
fhall be weakened from the work, that it be not done. 
Now, therefore, God, ftrengthen my hands. 

10 IF Afterwards I came unto thehoufe of Shemaiah 
the fon of Delaiah, thefon of Mehetabeel, who was 
fhut up ; and he faid, Letus meet together in the houfe 
of God, within the temple, and let us fhut the doors 
of the temple : for they will come to flay thee ; yea, 
in the night will they come to flay thee. 

11 And I faid, Should fuch a man as I flee? and 
who if there that being, as I am, would go into the 
temple to fave his life ? I will not go in. 

12 And, lo, I perceived that God had notfent him ; 
but that he pronounced this prophecy againft me ; for 
Tobiah and Sanballat had hired him. 

13 Therefore was he hired, that I fhould be afraid, 
and do lb, and fin, and that they might have matter 
for an evil report, that they might reproach me. 

14 My God, think thou upon Tobiah and Sanbal- 
lat according to thefe their fork's, and on the prophet- 
efs Noadiah, and the reft of the prophets that would 
have put me in fear. 

15 IT So the wall was finifhed in the twenty and 
fifth daij of the month Elul, in fifty and two days. 

16 And it came to pafs, that when all our enemies 
heard thereof, and all the heathen that were about us 
law these things, they were much caft down in their 
own eyes : for they perceived that this work was 
wrought of our God. 

17 IF Moreover, in thofe days the nobles of Judah 
t fent many letters unto Tobiah, and the letters of 
Tobiah came unto them. 

18 For there were many in Judah fworn unto him, 
becaufe he was the fon in law of Shechaniah the fon 
of Arah ; and his fon Johananhad taken the daughter 
of Mefhullam, thefonofBerechiah. 

19 Alfo they reported his good deeds before me, 
and uttered my || words to him. And Tobiah fent let- 
ters to put me in fear.

1 The religious manner in which the law was read by 
Ezra. 9 Nehemiab, Ezra, and the Levites, comfort 
the people .-13 they are instructed out of the law con- 
cerning the feast of tabernacles, 16 which is kept in 
a solemn manner. 

AND all a the people gathered themfelves together aEzV a 5 ' 3 1, 
as one man into the ftreet that was before the 
Watergate; and they fpake unto Ezra the b fcribe, to bEna 7 6 ' 
bring the book of the law of Mofes which the Lord 
had commanded to Ifrael. 

2 And Ezra the prieft brought the law before the 
congregation, both of men and women, and all f that l^ n *'' f 
could hear with underftanding, upon the firft day of »'» fearing. 
the feventh month. 

3 And he read therein before the ftreet that was 
before the Watergate, f from the morning until mid- 
day, before the men and the women and thofe that 
could underftand : and the ears of all the people were 
attentive unto the book of the law. 

4 And Ezra the f'cribe flood upon a f pulpit of ^f^J; 
wood, which they had made for the purpofe ; and be- 

fide him flood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Anaiah, 
and Urijah, and Hilkiah, and Maafeiah, on his right 
hand ; and on his left hand, Pedaiah, and Mifliael, 
and Malchiah, and Hafhum, and Halhbadana, Zech- 
arian, and Mefhullam. 

5 And Ezra opened the book in the f fight of all tHeb.q*»

when he opened it, all the people flood up. 

6 And Ezra bleffcd the Lord, the great God : and 
all the people anfwered, Amen, amen, with lifting up

stood in their place. 

8 So they read in the book in the law of God dif- 
tinctly , and gave the fenfe, and caufed them to under- 
ftand the reading.^ 

9 II AndNehemiah, which is || the Tirfhatha, and Ezra 
the prieft the fcribe, and the Levites that taught the 
people, faid unto all the people, This day is holy unto 
the Lord your God, mourn not, nor weep : for all the 
people wept, when they heard the words of the law. 

10 Then he laid unto them, Go your way, eat the 
fat, and drink the fweet, and fend portions unto them 
for whom nothing is prepared ; for this day is holy 
unto our Lord : neither be.ye lorry : for the joy of 
the Lord is your ftrength. 

1 1 So the Levites ftilled all thepeople, faying, Hold 
your peace ; for the day is holy ; neither be ye grieved. 

12 And all the people went their way to eat, and 
to drink, and to fend portions, and to make great 
mirth, becaufe they had underftood the words that 
were declared unto them. 

13 1 And on the fecond day were gathered to- 
gether the chief of the fathers of all the people, the 
priefls and the Levites, unto Ezra the fcribe, even 
|| to underftand the words of the law. 

14 And they found written in the law, which the 
Lord had commanded t by Mofes, that the children 
of Ifrael fhould dwell in c booths in the feaft of the 
feventh month : 

15 And that they fhould publifh, and proclaim in 
all their "cities, and in Jerufalem, faying, Go forth 
unto the mount, and fetch olive branches, and pine 
branches, and myrtle branches, and palm branches, 
and branches of thick trees, to make booths, as it is 
written. 

16 Tf So the people went forth, and brought them, 
and made themfelves booths every one upon the root 
of his houfe, and in their courts, and in the courts of 
the houfe of God, and in the ftreet of the water gate, 
and in the ftreet of the gate of Ephraim. 

17 And all the congregation of them that were 
come again out of the captivity made booths, and fat 
under the booths ; for fince the days of Jeihua the

3 And they flood up in their place, and read in the

and the hoft of heaven worfhippeth thee. 

7 Thou art the Lord the God, who didft choofe

11 £ And thou didft divide the fea before them, fo 
that they went through the midft of the fea on the dry 
land ; and their perfecutors thou threweft into the

12 Moreover, thou l leddeft them in the day by a

21 Yea, forty years didft thou fuftain them in the 
wildernefs, so that they lacked nothing : their y clothes 
waxed not old, and their feet fwelieel not. 

22 Moreover, thou gaveft: them kingdoms and 
nations, and cliciit divide them into corners : fo they 
poffeffed the land of z Sihon, and the land of the king 
of HeJhbon, and the land of Og king of Bafhan. 

23 Their children alfo multipliedfl thou as the ftars 
of heaven, and broughteft them into the land con- 
cerning which thou had ft promifed to their fathers, 
that they fhould go in to pofTefs it. 

24 So the children went in and poffeffed the land, 
and thou fubdueclft before them the inhabitants of the 
land, the Canaanites, and gaveft them into their hands, 
with their kings, and the people of the land, that they 
might do with them t as they would. 

25 And they took ftron.g cities, and a fat land, and 
poffeffed houfes full of all goods, II wells digged, vine- 
yards, and oliveyards, and j- fruit trees in abundance ; 
io they did eat, and were filled, and became fat, and 
delighted themfelves in thy great goodnefs. 

26 Neverthelefs,they were difobedient, and rebelled 
againftthee, and call thy law behind their backs, and 
flew thy a prophets, which teftified againft them to turn 
them to thee ; and they wrought great provocations. 

27 Therefore thou deliveredft them into the hand 
of their enemies, who vexed them : and in the time 
of their trouble, when they cried unto thee, thou 
heardeft tbem from heaven ; and, according to thy 
manifold mercies, thou gaveft them faviours, who 
faved them out of the hand of their enemies: . 

28 But after they had reft, f they did evil again be- 
fore thee ; therefore lefteft thou them in the hand of 
their enemies, fo that they had the dominion over 
them : yet when they returned, and cried unto thee, 
thou heardeft them from heaven ; and many times 
didfl thou deliver them, according to thy mercies ; 

29 And teftifiedft againft them, that thou mighteft 
bring them again unto thy law ; yet they dealt proud- 
ly, and hearkened not unto thy commandments, but 
finned againft thy judgments, (which if a man do, he 
(hall live in them,) and t withdrew the fhoulder, and 
hardened their neck, and woulcl not hear : 

30 Yet many years didft thou t forbear them, and 
teftifiedft" againft them by thy Spirit f in thy proph- 
ets ; yet would they not give ear : therefore gaveft 
thou them into the hand of the people of the lands. 

31 Neverthelefs, for thy great mercies' fake, thou 
didft not utterly confume them, nor forfake them ; 
for thou art a gracious and merciful God. 

32 Now, therefore, our God, the great, the c mighty 
and the terrible God, who keepeft covenant and 
mercy, let not all the \ trouble leem little before thee 
t that hath come upon us, on our kings, on our 
princes, and on. our priefts, and on our prophets, and 
on our fathers, and on all thy people, fince the time 
of the kings of AfTyria unto this day. 

33 Howbeit, thou art juft in all that is brought upon 
us; for thou ha ft done right, "but we have done wickedly. 

34 Neither have our kings, our princes, our priefts, 
nor our fathers, kept thy law, nor hearkened unto thy 
commandments, and thy tcftimonies, wherewith thou 
didft teftify againft them. 

35 For they have not lerved thee in their kingdom, 
and in thy great goodnefs that thou gaveft them, and

37 And it yieldeth much increafe unto the kings-

26 Thefe were in the days of Joiakim the fon of 
Jefhua, the fon of Jozadak, and in the days of Nehe- 
miah the governor, and of Ezra the priefl, the fcribe. 

27 H And at the dedication of the w r all of Jerufalem 
they fought the Levites out of all their places, to bring 
them to Jerufalem, to keep the dedication with glad- 
nefs, both with thankfgivings and with unging, with 
cymbals, pfalteries, and with harps. 

28 And the fons of the fingers gathered themfelves 
together, both out of the plain country round about 
Jerufalem, and from the villages of Netophathi ; 

29 Alfo from the houfe of Gilgal, and out of the 
fields of Geba and Azmaveth : for the fingers had 
builded them villages round about Jerufalem. 

30 And the priefts and the Levites purified them- 
felves, and purified the people, and the gates, and the 
wall. 

31 Then I brought up the princes of Judah upon 
the wall, and appointed two great companies of them 
that gave thanks, whereof one went on the right hand 
upon the wall toward the dung gate ; 

32 And after them went Hoihaiah, and half of the 
princes of Judah, 

33 And Azariah, Ezra, and Mefhullam, 

34 Judah, and Benjamin, and Shemaiah, and Jere- 
miah, 

35 And certain of the priefts' fons with trumpets : 
namely, Zechariah the fon of Jonathan, the fon of 
Shemaiah, the fon of Mattaniah, the fon of Michaiah, 
the fon of Zaccur, the fon of Afaph : 

36 And his brethren, Shemaiah, and Azarael, Mi- 
lalai, Gilalai, Maai, Nethaneel, and Judah, Hanani, 
with the mufical inftruments of David the man of God, 
and Ezra the fcribe before them. 

37 And at the fountain gate, which was over againft 
them, they went up by the ftairs of the city of David, 
at the going up of the wall, above the houfe of David, 
even unto the water gate eaftward. 

38 And the other company of them that gave thanks 
went over againft them, and I after them, and the half 
of the people upon the wall, from beyond the tower of 
the furnaces, even unto the broad wall ; 

39 And from above the gate of Ephraim, and above 
the old gate, and above the fifh gate, and the tower of 
Hananeel, and the tower of Meah, even unto the fhecp 
gate ; and they flood ftill in the prifon gate. 

40 So flood the two companies of them that gave 
thanks in the houfe of God, and I, and the half of the 
rulers with me : 

41 And the priefts ; Eliakim, Maafeiah, Miniamin, 
Michaiah, Elioenai, Zechariah, and Hananiah, with 
trumpets ; 

42 And Maafeiah, and Shemaiah, and Eleazar, and 
Uzzi, and Jehohanan, and Malchijah, and Elam, and 
Ezer : and the lingers f fang loud, with Jezrahiah their 
overfeer. 

43 Alfo that day they offered great facrilices, and 
rejoiced ; for God had made them rejoice with great 
joy : the wives alfo and the children rejoiced ; fo that 
the joy of Jerufalem was heard even afar off. 

44 If And at that time were fome appointed over the 
chambers for the treafures, for the offerings, for the

fanclified them unto the children of Aaron. 

CHAP. XIII. 

1 Upon the reading of the law, Israel is separatedfrom 
the mixed multitude. 4 Nehemiah, at his return, caus- 
eth the chambers to be cleansed : 10 he reformeth cer- 
tain abuses concerning tithes, 15 the violation of the 
sabbath, 23 and the marriages with strange wives. 

N that day t they read in the book of Mofes in the 
f audience of the people ; and therein was found 
written, a that the Ammonite and the Moabite fhould 
not come into the congregation of God for ever ; 

2 Becaufe they met not the children of Ifrael with 
bread and with water, but b hired Balaam againft them, 
that he'fhould curfe them : howbeit, our God turned 
the curfe into a bleffing. 

3 Now it came to pafs, when they had heard the law, 
that they feparated from Ifrael all the mixed multitude. 

4 If And before this Eliafhib the prieft, f having the 
overfight of the chamber of the houfe of our Go6.,%vas 
allied unto Tobiah : 

5 And he had prepared for him a great chamber, 
where aforetime they laid the meat offerings, the 
frankincenfe, and the veffels, and the tithes of the 
corn, the new wine, and the oil, (t which was com- 
manded to be given to the Levites, and the lingers, 
and the porters,) and the offerings of the priefts. 

6 But in all this time was not I at Jerufalem : for in 
the two and thirtieth year of Artaxerxes king of Baby- 
lon, came I unto the king, and \ after certain days 
|| obtained I leave of the king : 

7 And I came to Jerufalem, and underftood of the 
evil that Eliafhib did for Tobiah, in preparing him a 
chamber in the courts of the houfe of God. 

8 And it grieved me fore ; therefore I call forth all 
the houfehold ftuif of Tobiah out of the chamber. 

9 Then I commanded, and they cleanfed the cham- 
bers ; and thither brought I again the veffels of the houfe 
of God, with the meat offering and the frankincenfe. 

10 ff And I perceived that the portions of the Levites 
had not been given them : for the Levites and the fing- 
ers that did the work were fled every one to his field. 

i 1 Then contended I with the rulers, and faid, Why 
is the houfe of God forfaken ? And I gathered them 
together, and fet them in their f place. 

12 Then brought all Judah the tithe of the corn, 
and the new wine, and the oil, unto the || treafuries. 

13 And I made treafurers over the treafuries, She- 
lemiah the prieft, and Zadok the fcribe ; and of the 
Levites, Pedaiah ; and t next to them was Hanan the 
fon of Zaccur, the fon of Mattaniah ; for they were 
counted faithful ; and f their office was to diftribute 
unto their brethren.

14 c Remember me, O my God, concerning this ; 
and wipe not out my t good deeds that I have done 
for the houfe of my God, and for the || offices thereof. 

15 Ulnthofe days faw I in Judah some treading 
winepreftes on the labbath, and bringing in fheaves, 
and lading affes : as alfo wine, grapes, and figs, and 
all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jeru- 
falem on the fabbath day : and I teftifieel against them 
in the day wherein they fold vicluals. 

16 There dwelt men of Tyre alfo therein, which 
brought fifh, and all manner of ware, and fold on the 
fabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerufalem. 

17 Then I contended with the nobles of Judah, and 
faid unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and 
profane the fabbath day ? 

18 Did not your fathers thus, and did not our God 
bring all this evil upon us, and upon this city ? yet 
ye bring more wrath upon Ifrael by profaning the 
labbath. 

19 And it came to pafs, that, when the gates of Je- 
rufalem began to be dark before the fabbath, I com- 
manded that the gates fhould be ihut, and charged 
that they ihould not be opened till after the fabbath ; 
and some of my fervants fet I at the gates, that there 
ihould no burden be brought in on the fabbath day. 

20 So the merchants and fellers of all kind of ware, 
lodged without Jerufalem once or twice. 

'.'21 Then I teftifieel againft them, and faid unto 
them, Why lodge ye f about the wall ? if ye do To 
again, I will lay hands on you. From that time forth 
came they no more on the fabbath. 

22 And I commanded the Levites, that they fhould 
cleanfe themf elves, and that they ihould come and 
keep the gates to fanclify the fabbath day. Remem- 
ber me, O my God, concerning this alfo, and fpare me 
according to the || greatnefs of thy mercy. 

_ 23 \ In thole days alfo faw I Jews that \ had mar- 
riedVives of Afhdod, of Ammon, <7w/ofMoab. 

24 And their children fpake half in the fpeech of 
Afhdod, and t could not fpeak in the Jews' language, 
but according to the language f of each people. 

25 And I contended with them, and || cuffed them, 
andfmote certain of them, and plucked off their hair; 
and made them fwear by God, saying, ; Ye fhall not 
give your daughters unto their fons, nor take their 
daughters unto your fons, or for yourfelves. 

26 Did not Solomon king of Ifrael fin by thefe 
things ? yet among many nations was there no king 
like him, who was beloved of his God, and God made 
him king over all Ifrael : d neverthelefs, even him did 
outlandilh women caufe to fin. 

27 Shall we then hearken unto you to do all this 
great evil, to tranfgrefs againft our God, in marrying 
ftrange wives ? 

28 ^ And one of the fons of Joiada, the fon of Eliafhib 
the high prieft, was fon in law to Sanballat the Horon- 
ite : therefore I chafed him from me. 

29 Remember them, O my God, t becaufe they 
have defiled the priefthood, and the covenant of the 
priefthood, and of the Levites. 

30 Thus cleanfed I them from all ftrangers, and 
appointed the wards of the priefts and the Levites 
every one in his bufinefs ; 

31 And for the wood offering at times appointed, 
and for the firft fruits, Remember me, O my God, 
for good.

Abasuerus niaketb royal feasts. 10 Vashtl refusetb 
to come when sent for by the kins;. 13 Abasuerus 
consulteth with the ivise men, and, by the counsel of 
Memucan, maketh the decree of men's sovereignty. 

NOW it came to pafs in the days of Ahafuerus, 
(this is Ahafuerus which reigned from India 
even unto Ethiopia, over an hundred and feven and 
twenty provinces) 

2 'that in thole days, when the king Ahafuerus 
fat on the throne of his kingdom, which was in Shu- 
fhan the palace, 

3 In the third year of his reign, he made a feaft 
unto all his princes and his fervants ; the power of 
Perfia and Media, the nobles and princes of the prov- 
inces being before him ; 

4 When he fhewed the riches of his glorious king- 
dom, and the honour of his excellent majeily, many 
days, even an hundred and fourfcore days. 

5 And, when thefe days were expired, the king 
made a feaft unto all the people that were t prefent in 
Shufhan the palace, both unto great and fmall, feven 
days, in the court of the garden of the king's palace. 

6 Where were white, green, and || blue hangings, 
fattened with cords of fine linen and purple to lilver 
rings, and pillars of marble : the beds were of gold 
andfilver, upon a pavement || of red, and blue, and 
white, and black marble. 

7 And they gave them drink in veffels of gold (the 
veffels being diverfe one from another,) and f royal 
wine in abundance, \ according tothe ftate of the king. 

8 And the drinking was according to the law ; 
none did compel : for fo the king had appointed to 
all the officers ofhishoufe, that they fhould do ac- 
cording to every man's pleafure. 

9 Alfo Valhti the queen made a feaft for the women 
in the royal houfe which belonged to king Ahafuerus. 

10 H On the feventh day, when the heart of the 
king was merry with wine, he commanded Mehuman, 
Biztha, Harbona, Bigtha, andAbagtha, Zethar, and 
Carcas, the feven || chamberlains that ferved in the 
prefence of Ahafuerus the king, 

11 To bring Vafhti the queen before the king, 
with the crown royal, to fhew the people and the 
princes her beauty ; for (lie was t fair to look on. 

12 But the queen Valhti refufed to come at the 
king's commandment + by his chamberlains : therefore 
was the king very wroth, and his anger burned in him. 

13 IT Then the king laid to the wife men, which 
knew the times, (for fo was the king's manner toward 
all that knew law and judgment ; 

14 And the next unto him was Carfhena, Shethar, 
Admatha, Tarfhilh, Meres, Marfena, <wr/ Memucan, 
the a feven princes of Perfia and Media, which law the 
king's face, and which fat the firft in the kingdom,) 

15 f What fhall we do unto the queen Valhti ac- 
cording to law, becaufe fhe hath not performed the 
commandment of the king Ahafuerus by the cham- 
berlains ? 

16 And Memucan anfwercd before the king and 
the princes, Vafhti the queen hath not done wrong 
to the king only, but alfo to all the princes, and to < 
all the people that are in all the provinces of the king 
Ahafuenis.

in their eyes, when it fhall be reported, The king Aha- 
fuerus commanded Vafhti the queen to be brought in 
before him, but Ihe came not. 

18 Likewise fhall the ladies of Perfia and Media 
fay this day unto all the king's princes, which have 
heard of the deed of the queen. Thus shall there 
arise too much contempt and wrath. 

19 | If it pleafe the king, let there go a n^al com- 
mandment t from him, and let it be written among the 
laws of the Perlians and the Medes, t that it be not 
altered, that Vafhti come no more before king Aha- 
fuerus ; and let the king give her royal eftate t unto 
another that is better than ihe. 

20 And when the king's decree, which he fhall 
make, fhall be pubiifhed throughout all his empire, 
(for it is great,) all the wives fhall give to their huf- 
bands honour, both to great and fmall. 

21 And the faying tplealed the king and the princes ; 
and the king did according to the word of Memucan : 

22 For he fent letters into all the king's provinces, 
into every province according to the writing thereof, 
and to every people after their language, tha't every 
man fhould bear rule in his own houfe ; and t that it 
fhould be pubiifhed according to the language of every 
people.

king. 15 Esther pleasetb the king, and is made 
queen. 21 Mordecai^ discover eth a plot, which is 
recorded in the Chronicles. 

AFTER thefe things, when the wrath of king Aha- 
fuerus was appealed, he remembered Vafhti, and 
what fhe had done, and what was decreed againft her. 
e 2 Then laid the king's fervants that miniftered unto 
him, Let there be fair young virgins fought for the king ; 

3 And let the king appoint officers in all the prov- 
inces of his kingdom, that they may gather together 
all the fair young virgins unto Shufhan the palace, to 

the houfe of the women, f unto the cuftody of || Hege tHei».« w 
the king's chamberlain, keeper of the women ; and let '/or'."^^.-; 
their things for purification be given them. 

4 And let the maiden which plcaieth the king be 
queen inftead of Vafhti. And the thing pleafed the 
king ; and he did fo. 

5 11 Now, in Shuihan the palace, there was a certain 
Jew whofe name was Mordecai, the fon of Jair, the 
fon of Shimei, the fon of Kiih, aBenjamite ; 

6 a Who had been carried away from Jerufalem, 
with the captivity which had been carried away with 
Jecpniah king of Judah, whom Nebuchadnezzar the 
king of Babylon had carried awav. 

7 And he t brought up Hadaffah, (that is Either,) 
his uncle's daughter ; lor fhe had neither father nor 
mother, and the maid was f fair and beautiful : whom 
Mordecai (when her father and mother were dead) 
took for his own daughter.

palace, to the cuftody of Hegai, that Either was 
brought alfo unto the king's houfe, to the cuftody of 
Hegai, keeper of the women. 

9 And the maiden pleafed him, and fhe obtained 
kindnefs of him ; and he fpeedily gave her her things 
for purification, with | fuch things as belonged to her, 
and feven maidens, which were meet to be given her 
out of the king's houfe ; and t he preferred her and her 
maids unto the belt place of the houfe of the women. 

10 Either had not lhewed her people, nor her kin- 
dred ; for Mordecai had charged her that fhe fhould 
not f hew it. 

11 And Mordecai walked every day before the 
court of the women's houfe, f to know how Either 
did, and what fhould become of her. 

12 IT Now, when every maid's turn was come to go 
in to king Ahafuerus, after that fhe had been twelve 
months, according to the manner of the women, (for 
fo were the days of their purifications accomplished, 
to wit, fix months with oil of myrrh, and fix months 
with fweet odours, and with other things for the puri- 
fying of the women,) 

13 Then thus came every maiden unto the king ; 
whatfoever fhe defired was given her, to go with her 
out of the houfe of the women unto the king's houfe. 

14 In the evening fhe went, and on the morrow fhe 
returned into the fecond houfe of the women, to the 
cuftody of Shaafhgaz the king's chamberlain, which 
kept the concubines ; fhe came in unto the king no 
more, except the king delighted in her, and that Die 
were called by name. 

15 f Now when the turn of Either, the daughter of 
Abihail, the uncle of Mordecai, (who had taken her for 
his daughter,) was come to go in unto the king, fhe re- 
quired nothing but what Hegai the king's chamberlain^ 
the keeper of the women, appointed : and Either ob- 
tained favour in the fight of all them that looked upon 
her. 

16 So Either was taken unto king Ahafuerus, into 
his houfe royal, in the tenth month, (which is the 
month Tebeth,) in the feventh year of his reign. 

17 And the king loved Either above all the women, 
8or,Kn<fBeji. and lhe obtained grace and |j favour t in his fight more 

re than all the virgins ; fo that he fet the royal crown upon 
her head, and made her queen inftead of Vafhti. 

18 Then the king made a great feaft unto all his 
princes and his fervants, even Efther's feaft ; and he 
made a f releafe to the provinces, and gave gifts, ac- 
cording to the ftate of the king. 

19 And when the virgins were gathered together 
the fecond time, then Mordecai fat in the king's gate. 

20 Either had not yet {hewed her kindred, nor her 
people, as Mordecai had charged her : for Either did 
the commandment of Mordecai, like as when fhe was 
brought up with him. 

21 "II In thofe days, (while Mordecai fat in the king's 
gate,) two of the king's chamberlains, || Bigthan and 

^*„cha P . Tereih, of thofe which kept f the door, were wroth, 
liwho'id'. an< 3 fought to lay hand on the king Ahafuerus. 

22 And the thing was known to Mordecai, who told 
it unto Either the queen ; and Either certified the king 
thereof in Mordecai 's name. 

23 And when inquifition was made of the matter, it 
was found out ; therefore they were both hanged on a 
tree : and it was written in the book of the Chronicles 
before the king.

CHAP. III. 

1 Haman, advanced by the king, is respected by all but 
Mordecai, for which he seekethfor revenge upon all 
the Jews : 7 he casteth lots to fix the time : 8 by ca- 
lumniation he obtaineth a commission from the king 
to extirpate them. 

AFTER thefe things did king Ahafuerus promote 
Plaman the fon of Hammedatha the Agagite, and 
advanced him, and fet his feat above all the princes 
that were with him. 

2 And all the king's fervants, that were'm the king's 
gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman ; for the king had 
fo commanded concerning him ; but Mordecai bowed 
not, nor did him reverence. 

3 Then the king's fervants, which were in the king's 
gate, faid unto Mordecai, Why tranfgrefTeft thou the 
king's commandment ? 

_ 4 Now it came to pafs, when they fpake daily unto 
him, and he hearkened not unto them, that they toki 
Haman, to fee whether Mordecai's matters would 
ftand : for he had told them that he was a Jew. 

5 And when Haman faw that Mordecai bowed not, 
nor did him reverence, then was Haman full of wrath. 

6 And he thought {'corn to lay hands on Mordecai 
alone ; for they had lhewed him the people of Morde^ 
cai : wherefore Haman fought to deitroy all the Jews 
that were throughout the whole kingdom of Ahafue- 
rus, even the people of Mordecai. 

7 fin the firit month, (that is the month Nifan,) in the 
twelfth year of king Ahafuerus, they caftPur, that is the 
lot, before Haman, from day to day, and from month to 
month, to the twelfth month, that is the month Adar. 

8 f And Haman faid unto king Ahafuerus, There 
is a certain people fcattered abroad, and difperfed 
among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom, 
and their laws are diverfe from all people ; neither 
keep they the king's laws : therefore it is not f for the 
king's profit to fuffer them. 

9 If it pleafe the king, let it be written f that they 
may be deftroyed ; and I will f pay ten thoufand tal- j^f\ 
ents of filver to the hands of thofe that have the charge 
of the bufmefs, to bring it into the king's treafuries. 

10 And the king took his ring from his hand, and 
gave it unto Haman the fon of Hammedatha the Agag- 
ite, the Jews' || enemy. ' 

11 And the king faid unto Haman, The filver is 
given to thee, the people alfo, to do with them as it 
feemeth good to thee. 

12 Then were the king's || fcribes called on the thir- 
teenth day of the firft month, and. there was written, 
according to all that Haman had commanded, unto the 
king's lieutenants, and to the governors that were over 
every province, and to the rulers of every people of 
every province according to the writing thereof, and to 
every people after their language ; in the name of king 
Ahafuerus was it written, and fealed with the king's 
ring. 

13 And the letters were fent by polls into all the 
king's provinces, to deftroy, to kill, and to caufe to 
perifh, all Jews, both young and old, little children

15 The polls went out, being haftened by the king's 
commandment ; and the decree was given in Shufhan 
the palace. And the king and Haman fat down to 
drink ; but the city Shufhan was perplexed. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 The great mourning of Mordecai and the Jews. 4 
Esther sending to Mordecai to inquire the reason, is 
informed thereof, and advised by him to intercede 
with the king for the nation. 10 She at first excus- 
etb herself ; but being admonished by mordecai, 15 
she appointeth a fast, &fc. 

WHEN Mordecai perceived all that was done, 
Mordecai rent his clothes, and put on fack- 
cloth with allies, and went out into the midft of the 
city, and cried with a loud and a bitter cry ; 

2 And came even before the king's gate : for none 
might enter into the king's gate clothed with fackcloth. 

3 And in every province, whitherfoever the king's 
commandment and his decree came, there was great 
mourning among the Jews, and fatting, and weeping, 
and wailing ; and t many lay in fackcloth and allies. 

4TlSoEfther's maids and her fchamberlains came and 
told it her. Then was the queen exceedingly grieved ; 
and fhe fent raiment to cloth Mordecai, and to take 
away his fackcloth from him ; but he received it not. 

5 Then called Efther for Hatach, one of the king's 
chamberlains, f whom he had appointed to attend 
upon her, and gave him a commandment to Morde- 
cai, to know what it was, and why it was. 

6 So Hatach went forth to Mordecai unto the flreet 
of the city, which was before the king's gate. 

7 And Mordecai told him of all that had happened 
unto him, and of the fum of the money that Haman 
had promifed to pay to the king's treafuries for the 
Jews, to deftroy them. 

8 Alfo he gave him the coppy of the writing of the 
decree that was given at Shulhan to deftroy them, 
to lliew z'mnto Efther, and to declare z'mnto her, and 
to charge her that fhe fhould go in unto the king, 
to make fupplication unto hirn, and to make requeft 
before him for her people. 

9 And Hatach came, and told Efther the words of 
Mordecai. 

10 H Again Efther fpake unto Hatach, and gave 
him commandment unto Mordecai ; 

11 All the king's fervants, and the people of the 
king's provinces do know, that whofoever, whether 
man or woman, fhall come unto the king into the inner 
court, who is not called, there is one law of his to put 
him to death, except fuch to whom the king fhall hold 
out the golden fceptre, that he may live : but I have not 
been called to come in unto the king thefe thirty days. 

12 And they told to Mordecai Efther's words. * 

13 Then Mordecai commanded to anfwer Efther, 
Think not with thyfelf that thou fhalt efcape in the 
king's houfe more than all the Jews. 

14 For if thou altogether holdeft thy peace at this 
time, then fhall there | enlargement and deliverance 
arife t& the Jews from another place ; but thou and 
thy father's houfe fhall be deflroyed : and who know- 
eth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such 
a time as this ? 

15 II Then Efther bade them return Mordecai this 
answer, 

16 Go, gather together all the Jews that are t prefent 



t Heb. 
passed. 



Haman tepineth at the contempt of Mordecai 

in Shufhan, and faftye for me, andneither eat nor drink 
three days, night or day : I alfo and my maidens will 
fall like-wife ; and ib will I go in unto the king, which is 
not according to the law ; and if I perifh, I perilh. 

17 So Mordecai f went his way, and did according 
to all that Efther had commanded him. 

CHAP. V. 
1 Esther, adventuring uncalled to appear before the 
king, is graciously received ; she inviteth "the king 
and Haman to a banquet : 6 being encouraged by the 
king to name her suit, she inviteth them to another 
banquet the next day. 9 Haman, though proud of 
his advancement, yet repinetb at the contem pi J 
Mordecai. 14 By the advice of his wife and friends, 
he preparethfor him a gallows. 

NOW it came to pafs on the third day, that Efther 
put on her royal apparel, and flood in the inner 
court of the king's houfe, over againft the king's houfe : 
and the king fat upon his royal throne in the royai 
houfe over againft the gate of the houfe. 

2 And it was fo, when the king faw Efther the 
queen Handing in the court, that fhe obtained favour 
in his fight : and the king held out to Efther the 
golden fceptre that was in his hand. So Efther drew 
near, and touched the top of the fceptre. 

3 Then faid the king unto her, What wilt thou, 
queen > Efther ? and what is thy requeft ? it fhall be 
even given thee to the half of the kingdom. 

4 And Efther anfwered, If*'* seem good unto the 
king, let the king and Haman come this day unto 
the banquet that I have prepared for Vim. 

5 Then the king faid, Caufe Haman to make hafte, 
that he may do as Efther hath faid. So the king and 
Haman came to the banquet that Efther had prepared. 

6 H And the king faid unto Efther at the banquet 
of wine, What is thy petition ? and it fhall be granted 
thee : and what is thy requeft ? even to the half of 
the kingdom it fhall be performed. 

7 Then anfwered Efther and faid, My petition and 
my requeft is ; 

8 If I have found favour in the fight of the king, 

and if it pleafe the king to grant my petition, and t to £^ b - 
perform my requeft, let the king and Haman come 
to the banquet that I fhall prepare for them, and I 
will do tomorrow as the king hath faid. 

9 H Then went Haman forth that day joyful, and 
with a glad heart : but when Haman faw Mordecai in 
the king's gate, that he flood not up, nor moved for 
him, he was full of indignation againft Mordecai. 

10 Nevcrthelefs, Haman refrained himfelf : and 
when he came home, he fent and f called for his 
friends, and Zerelh his wife. 

11 And Haman told them of the glory of his riches, 
and the multitude of his children, and all the things 
wherein the king had promoted him, and how he had 
•advanced him above the princes and fervants of the 
king. 

12 Haman faid moreover, Yea, Efther the queen 
did let no man come in with the king unto the ban- 
quet that fhe had prepared, but myfelf; and to mor- 
row am I invited unto her alfo with the king. 

13 Yet all this availeth me nothing, fo long as I fee 
Mordecai the Jew lilting at the king's gate. 

14 If Then faid Zerelh his wife, and all his friends, 
unto him, Let a | gallows be made of fifty cubits

high, and tomorrow fpeak thou unto the king that 
Mordecai may be hanged thereon : then go thou in 
merrily with the king unto the banquet. And the 
thing pleafed Haman ; and he caufed the gallows to 
be made. 

CHAP. VI. 
1 Ahasuerus, hearing read in the Chronicles of the good 
■■ service done by Mordecai, thinketh how to reward 
him. 4 Haman coming to sue that Mordecai might 
be hanged, becometh himself the instrument of doing 
him honour .-12 complaining of his misfortune, his 
friends foretelhim of his fall. 

N that night t could not the king fleep ; and he 
commanded to bring the book of records of the 
Chronicles ; and they were read before the king. 

2 And it was found written, that Mordecai had told 
of || Bigthana and Terefh, two of the king's chamber- 
lains, the keepers of the t door, Avho fought to lay 
hand on the king Ahafuerus. 

3 And the king faid, What honour and dignity 
hath been done to Mordecai for this ? Then faid the 
king's fervants that miniftered unto him, There is 
nothing done for him. 

4 II And the king faid, Who is in the court ? (Now 
Haman was come into the outward court of the king's 
houfe, to fpeak unto the king to hang Mordecai on 
the gallows that he had prepared for him.) 

5 And the king's fervant faid unto him, Behold, 
Haman flandeth in the court. And the king faid, Let 
him come in. 

6 So Haman came in. And the king faid unto him, 
What fhall be done unto the man t whom the king 
delighteth to honour ? {Now Haman thought in his 
heart, To whom would the king delight to do honour 
more than to myfelf ?) 

7 And Haman anfwered the king, For the man 
f whom the king delighteth to honour,

10 Then the king faid to Haman, Make haite, and 
take the apparel, and the horfe, as thou haft faid, and do 
even fo to Mordecai the Jew, that fitteth at the king's 
gate : f let nothing fail of all that thou haft fpoken. 

11 Then took Haman the apparel and the horfe, 
and arrayed Mordecai, and brought him on horfeback 
through the ftreet of the city, and proclaimed before 
him, Thus fhall it be done unto the man whom the 
king delighteth to honour. 

12 H And Mordecai came again to the king's gate : 
but Haman halted to his houfe mourning, and having 
his head covered. 

13 And Haman told Zerefh his wife and all his

his wife men and Zerefh his wife unto him, If Morde-

CHAP. VII. 
1 Esther at the banquet maketh suit to the king for her 
own life and for the life of her people : 5 she accuseth 
Haman. 7 The king in wrath, being told of the gal- 
lows prepared for Mordecai, causeth Haman to be 
hanged thereon. 

O the king and Haman came t to banquet with 
Either the queen. 

2 And the king faid again unto Either on the fecond 
day, at the banquet of wine, What is thy petition, 
queen Either ? and it fhall be granted thee : and what 
is thy requeit ? and it fhall be performed, even to the 
half of the kingdom. 

3 Then Either the queen anfwered and faid, If I 
have found favour in thy fight, O king, and if it pleafe 
the king, let my life be given me at my petition, and 
my people at my requeiL 

4 For we are fold, I and my people, t to be de- 
itroyed, to be ilain, and to perifh : but if we had been 
fold for bondmen and bondwomen I had held my 
tongue, although the enemy could not countervail the 
king's damage. 

5 1[ Then the king Ahafuerus anfwered and faid 
unto Either the queen, Who is he, and where is he, 
t that durit prefume in his heart to do fo ? 

6 And Either faid, t The adverfary and enemy is 
this wicked Haman. Then Haman was afraid || be- 
fore the king and the queen. 

7 If And the king, ariiingfrom the banquet of wine 
in his wrath, went into the palace garden ; and Ha- 
man ftood up to make requeit for his life to Either 
the queen ; for he faw that there was evil determined 
againft him by the king. 

.8 Then the king returned out of the palace garden 
into the place of the banquet of wine ; and Haman 
was fallen upon the bed whereon Either was. Then 
faid the king, Will he force the queen alfo f before 
me in the houfe ? As the word went out of the king's 
mouth, they covered Haman's face. 

9 And Harbonah, one of the chamberlains, faid 
before the king, Behold alfo the f gallows fifty cubits 
high, which Haman had made for Mordecai, who 
had fpoken good for the king, Itandeth in the houfe 
of Haman. Then the king laid, Hang him thereon. 

10 So they hanged Haman on the gallows that he 
had prepared for Mordecai. Then was the king's 
wrath pacified. 

CHAP. VIII. 
1 Esther making known her nearness to Mordecai, he 
is advanced into Haman's room. 3 Esther maketh 
suit to reverse Haman's letters. 7 Ahasuerus grant- 
eth to the Jews to defend themselves. 15 Mordecais 
honour, zs'c. 

N that day did the king Ahafuerus give the 
houfe of Haman, the Jews' enemy, unto Either 
the queen ; and Mordecai came before the king ; for 
Either had told what he was unto her. 

2 And the king took off his ring, which he had tak- 
en from Haman, and gave it unto Mordecai. And 
Either fet Mordecai over the houfe of Haman. 

3 \ And Either fpake yet again before the king, t h*.

and his device that he had devifed againft the Jews. 

4 Then the king held out the golden fceptre toward 
Efther. So Efther arofe, and flood before the king, 

5 And laid, If it pieafe the king, and if I have found 
favour in his light, and the thing seem right before the 
king, and I be pleafmg in his eyes, let it be written to 
reverie t the letters devifed by Haman the fon of Ham- 
medathn the Agagite, II which he wrote to deftroy the 
Jews which are in all the king's provinces. 

6 For how can 1 1 endure to fee the evil that fhall 
Come unto my people ? or how can I endure to fee the 
deftruclion of my' kindred ? 

7 *fi Then the king Ahaiuerus faid unto Efther the 
queen, and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given 
Efther the houfe of Haman, and him they have hanged 
upon the gallows, becaufe he laid his hand upon the 
Jews. 

8 Write ye alfo for the Jews as it liketh you, in the 
king's name, and feal it with the king's ring : for the 
writing which is written in the king's name 3 and fealed 
with the king's ring, a _may no man reverfe. 

9 Then were the king's fcribes called at that time 
in the third month, (that is, the month Sivan,) on the 
three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written, 
(according to all that Mordecai commanded,) unto 
the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and 
rulers of the provinces which are from India unto 
Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and feven provinces, 
unto every province according to the writing thereof, 
and unto every people after their language, and to the 
Jews, according to their writing, and according to 
their language. 

10 And he wrote in the king Ahaiuerus' name, and 
fealed if with the king's ring : and fent letters by poft 
on horfeback, and riders on mules, camels, and young 
dromedaries : 

11 Wherein the king granted the Jews which were 
in every city to gather themfelves together, and to Hand 
for their life, to deftroy, to flay, and to caule to perifh, 
all the power of the people and province that would 
aflault them, both little ones and women, and to take 
the fpoil of them for a prey, 

12 Upon one day, in all the provinces of king Aha- 
fucrus, namely, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth 
month, which is the month Adar. 

13 If The copy of the writing, for a commandment 
to be given in every province, f was publifhed unto 
all people, and that the Jews fhould be ready againft 
that day, to avenge themfelves on their enemies. 

14 So the pofts that rode upon mules and camels 
went out, being haftenedand preffed on by the king's 
commandment. And the decree was given at Shu- 
fhan the palace. 

15 If And Mordecai went out from the prefencc of 
the king in royal apparel of || blue and white, and with 
a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen 
and purple ; and the city of Shufhan rejoiced and was 
glad : 

16 The Jews had light, and gladnefs,. and joy, and 
honour. 

17 And in every province, and in every city, 
whitherfoever the king's commandment and his 
decree came, the Jews had joy and gladnefs, a feaft 
and a good day. And many" of the people of the 
land became Jews ; for the fear of the Jews fell upon 
them. 



hHeb.

The Jews slay their enemies. 

CHAP. IX. 

1 The Jews, assisted by the rulers, slay their enemies, 
and Hawaii's ten sons. 12 Ahasuerus, at Esther's, 
request, grantetb to the Jews at Shushan another 
day over their enemies. 20 The two days of Purim 
made yearly festivals. 

NOW, in the twelfth month, (that is, the month 
_ Adar,) on the thirteenth day of the fame, when 
the king's commandment and his decree drew near to 
be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of 
the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it 
was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over 
them that hated them,) 

_ 2 The Jews gathered themfelves together in their 
cities, throughout all the provinces of the king Ahafu- 
erus, to lay hand on fuchas fought then hurt ; and no 
man could withftand them : for the fear of them fell 
upon all people. 

3 And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieu- 
tenants, and the deputies, and f officers of the king, + Heb. th-<» 
helped the Jews ; becaufe the fear of Mordecai fell £?'&££, 
upon them. ; _ %£*?» 

4 For Mordecai -was great in the king's houfe, and *'"£• 
his fame went out throughout all the provinces : for 
this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater. 

5 Thus the Jews fmote ail their enemies with the . 
ftroke of the fword, and flaughter and deftru&ion, and 
did t what they would unto thofe that hated them. 

6 And in Shufhan the palace the Jews flew and de- 
ftroyed five hundred men. 

7 And Parfhandatha, and Dalphon, and Afpatha, 

8 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha, 

9 And Parmalhta, and Arifai, and Aridai, and 
Vajezatha, 

10 The ten fons of Haman the fon of Hammedatha, 
the enemy of the Jews, flew they ; but on the fpoil laid 
they not their hand. 

1 1 On that day the number of thofe that were flain in 
Shufhan the palace f was brought before the king. 

12 If And the king faid unto Efther the queen, The 
Jews have flain and deftroyed five hundred men in 
Shulhan the palace, and the ten fons of Haman ; what 
have they done in the reft of the king's provinces ? 
now, what is thy petition ? and it fhall be granted thee ; 
or what is thy requeft further ? and it fhall be done. 

13 Then faid Efther, If it pieafe the king, let it be 
granted to the Jews which are in Shufhan to do to- 
morrow alfo according unto this day's decree, and 
t let Haman's ten fons be hanged upon the gallows. 

14 And the king commanded it lb to be done : and 
the decree was given at Shulhan ; and they hanged 
Haman's ten fons. 

15 For the Jews that were in Shufhan gathered 
themfelves together on the fourteenth day alfo of the 
month Adar, and flew three hundred men at Shufhan ; 
but on the prey they laid not their hand. 

16 But the other Jews that were in the king's prov- 
inces gathered themfelves together, and flood for their 
lives, and had reft from their enemies, and flew of their 
foes feventy and five thoufand, (but they laid not their 
hands on the prey) 

17 On the thirteenth day of the month Adar : and 
on the fourteenth day f of the lame refted they, and tHd» 
made it a day of feafting and gladnefs,

19 Therefore the Jews of the villages that dwelt in 
the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the 
month Adar a day ^gladnefs and feafting, and a good 
day, and offending portions one to another. 

20 H And Mordecai wrote thefe things, and fent 
letters unto all the Jews that were in all the provinces 
of the king Ahafuerus, both nigh and far, 

21 To ftablifh this among them, that they fhouicl 
keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the 
fifteenth day of the fame, yearly, 

22 As the days wherein the Jews relied from their 
enemies, and the month which was turned unto them 
from forrow to joy, and from mourning into a good 
day ; that they fhould make them days of feafting and 
joy, and of fending portions one to another, and gifts 
to the poor. 

23 And the Jews undertook to do as they had be- 
gun, and as Mordecai had written unto them ; 

24 Becaufe Haman the fon of Hammedatha the 
Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devifed againft 
the Jews to deftroy them, and had call Pur, (that is 

tHeb. crush, the lot,) to t confume them, and to deftroy them :

commanded by letters, that his wicked device, which 
he devifed againft the Jews, mould return upon his 
own head, and that he and his fons fhould be hanged 
on the gallows. 

26 Wherefore they called thefe days Purim, after 
the name of || Pur : therefore, for all the words of this 
letter, and of thixt which they had feen concerning this 
matter, and which had come unto them, 

27 The Jews ordained, and took upon them, and 
upon their feed, and upon all fuch as joined themfelves

kept throughout every generation, every family, every 
province, and every city ; and that thefe days of Pu- 
rim mould not f fail from among the Jews, nor the +H<*.*«i;

29 Then Either the queen, the daughter of Abihail, 
and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with | all authority, to 
confirm this fecond letter of Purim. 

30 And he fent the letters unto all the Jews, to the 
hundred twenty and feven provinces of the kingdom 
of Ahafuerus, with words of peace and truth, 

31 To confirm thefe days of Purim in their times

THERE was a man in the land of U?, whofe

4 And his fons went and feafted in their houfes 
every one his day ; and fent and called for their three 
lifters, to eat and to drink with them. 

5 And it was fo, when the days of their feafting were 
gone about, that Job fent and fanclifted them, and rofe

6 II Now there was a day when the fons of God 
came to prefent themfelves before the Lord, and 
f Satan came alfo f among them. 

7 And the Lord faidunto Satan, Whence comeft 
thou ? Then Satan anfwered the Lord, and faid, 
From c going to and fro in the earth, and from walking 
up and down in it. 

8 And the Lord faid unto Satan, t Haft thou con- 
fidered my fervant Job, that there is none like him in 
the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth 
God, and efcheweth evil ? 

9 Then Satan anfwered the Lord, and faid, Doth 
Job fear God for nought ? 

10 Haft not thou made an hedge about him, and 
about his houfe, and about all that he hath on every 
fide ? thou haft bleffed the work of his hands, and his 
|1 fubftance is increafed in the land : 

11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that 
he hath, f and he will curfe thee to thy face. 

12 And the Lord faid unto Satan, Behold, all that 
he hath is in thy t power", only upon himfelf put not 
forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the pref- 
ence of the Lord.

13 IF And there was a day when his fons and his 
daughters were eating, and drinking wine, in their 
eldeft brother's houfe : 

14 And there came a meffenger unto Job, and 
faid, The oxen were ploughing, and the affes feeding 
befide them ; 

15 And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them 
away ; yea, they have flain the fervants with the edge 
of the fword ; and I only am efcaped alone to tell thee. 

16 While he was yet fpeaking, there came alfo an- 
other, and faid, || The fire of God is fallen from heaven, 
and hath burnt up the fheep, and the fervants, and con- 
fumed them ; and I only am efcaped alone to tell thee. 

17 While he was yet fpeaking, there came alfo an- 
other, and faid, The Chaldeans made out three bands, 
and t fell upon the camels, and have carried them 
away, yea, and {lain the fervants with the edge of the 
fword ; and I only am efcaped alone to tell thee. 

18 While he was yet fpeaking, there came alfo an- 
other, and faid, Thy fons and thy daughters were eat- 
ing, and drinking wine, in their eldeft brother's houfe : 

19 x\nd, behold, there came a great wind f from 
the wildernefs, and fmote the four corners of the 
houfe, and it fell upon the young men, and they are 
dead ; and I only am efcaped alone to tell thee. 

20 Then Job arofe, and rent his || mantle, and fhav- 
ed his head, and fell down upon the ground, and 
worshipped, 

21 And faid, d Naked camel out of my mother's 
womb, and naked fhall I return thither : the Lord 
gave, and the Lord hath taken away ; bleffed be the 
name of the Lord. 

22 In all this Job finned not, nor || charged God 
foolifhly. 

CHAP. II. 
1 Satan, appearing againbef ore God, obtaineth further 
leave to tempt Job : 7 he smiteth him with sore boils. 
9 Job reproveth his voife who moved him to curse God. 
11 Three of his friends condole with him in silence. 

AGAIN there was a day when the fons of God 
came to prefent themfelves before the LoIid, 
and Satan came alfo among them, to prefent himfelf 
before the Lord. 

2 And the Lord faid unto Satan, From whence 
comell thou? And a Satan anfwered the Lord, and 
faid, From going to and fro in the earth, and from 
walking up and down in it. 

3 And the Lord faid unto Satan, Haft thou con- 
fidered my fervant Job, that thcre^ is none like him in 
the earth, b a perfect and an upright man, one that 
feareth God, and efcheAveth evil ? and ftill he holdeth 
faft his integrity, although thou movedfl me againft 
him f to deflroy him without caufe. 

4 And Satan anfwered the Lord, and faid, Skin for 
{kin ; yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. 

5 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone 
and his flefh, and he will curfe thee to thy face. 

6 And the Lord faid unto Satan, Behold, he is in 
thine hand ; || but fave his life. 

7 1 So. went Satan forth from the prefence of the 
Lord, and fmote Job with fore boils, from the ible of 
his foot unto his crown. 

8 And he took him a potfherd to fcrape himfelf 
withal, and he fat down among the afhes. 

9 IT Then faid his wife unto him, Doft thou ftill re- 
tain thine integrity ? curfe God and die. 

2Y 



10 But he faid unto her, Thou fpeakeft as one of 
the fooiiih women fpeaketh. What ! fhall we receive 
good at the hand of God, and fhall we _ not receive 
evil ? In all this did not Job fin with his lips. 

11 If Now, when Job's three friends heard of all 
this evil that was come upon him, they came every 
one from his own place ; Eliphaz the Temanite, and 
Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite : for 
they had made an appointment together to come to 
mourn with him, and to comfort him. 

12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and 
knew him not, they lifted. up their voice, and wept ; 
and they rent every one his mantle, and iprinkled dufi 
upon their heads toward heaven. 

13 So they fat down with him upon the ground 
feven days and feven nights, and none fpake a word 
unto him : for they faw that his grief was very great. 

CHAP. III. 

1 Job curseth the day of his birth, 11 and wisheth he 
had enjoyed the quiet sleep of the grave: 20 he com- 
plaincth of life because of his anguish. 

AFTER this opened Job his mouth, and curfed 
his day. 
2 And Job f fpake and faid, 

_ 3 a Let the day perifli wherein I was born, and the 
night in which it was faid, There is a man child con- 
ceived. 

4 Let that day be darknefs ; let not God regard it 
from above, neither let the light fhine upon it. 

5 Let darknefs and the fhadow of death || ftain it ; 
let a cloud dwell upon it ; || let the blacknefs of the 
day terrify it. 

6 As for that night, let darknefs feize upon it ; || let 
it not be joined unto the days of the year ; let it not 
come into the number of the months. 

7 Lo, let that night be folitary ; let no joyful voice 
come therein. 

8 Let them curfe it that curfe the day, who are 
read}- to raife up || their mourning. 

9 Let the ftars of the twilight thereof be dark ; let 
it look for light, but have none ; neither let it fee f the 
dawning of the day : 

10 Becaufe it fhut not up the doors of my mothers 
womb, nor hid forrow from mine eyes. 

_ 11 Why died I not from the womb ? why did I not 
give up the ghoft when I came out of the belly ? 

12 Why did the knees prevent me ? or why die 
breafts that I fhould fuck ? 

13 For now fhould I have lain ftill, and been quiet, 
I fhould have flept : then had I been at reft. 

14 With kings and counfellors of the earth, which 
built defolate places for themfelves : 

15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their 
houfes with filver : 

16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been ; 
as infants which never faw light : 

17 There the wicked ceafe from troubling : and 
there the f weary be at reft. 

18 There the prifoners reft together ; they hear not 
the voice of the oppreffor. 

19 Thefmalland great are there; and the fervant 
is free from his mafter. 

20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in mif-

CHAP. IV. 

1 Etipbaz reproveth Job for want of religious trust : 
7 he remindeth him that God's judgments are not 
for the righteous but for the wicked': 12 his fearful 
vision, designed to humble the vain opinion of man's 
excellency before God. 

HEN Eliphaz the Temanite anfwered and fa id, 
2 .//"we allay f to commune with thee, wilt thou 
be grieved ? but \ who can withhold himfelf from 
fpeaking ? 

3 Behold, thou had inftructed many, and thou haft 
ftrengthened the weak hands. 

4 Thy words have upholden him that was falling, 
and thou haft ftrengthened -\ the feeble knees. 

5 But now it is come upon thee, and thou fainteft ; 
it tcucheth thee, and thou art troubled. 

6 Is not this thy fear, thy confidence^ thy hope, 
and the uprightnefs of thy ways ? 

7 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perifhed being 
innocent ? or where were the righteous cut off? 

8 Even as I have feen, a they that plough iniquity, 
and fow wickednefs, reap the fame. 

9 By the blaft of God they perifh, and H by the 
breath of his noftrils are they confirmed. 

10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the 
fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions are broken. 

1 1 The old lion perifheth for lack of prey, and the 
flout lion's whelps are fcattered abroad. 

12 If Now a thing was f fecretly brought to me, and 
mine ear received, a little thereof. 

13 In thoughts from the virions of the night, when 
deep fleep falleth on men, 

14 Fear f came upon me, and trembling, which 
made f all my bones to fhake. 

15 Then a fpirit paffetl before my face ; the hair of 
my fiem flood up : 

16 It flood flill, but I could not difcern the form 
\°tiii he F d thereof; an image was before mine eyes ; || there was 
* m ' ce ' filence, and I heard a voice, saying, 

17 Shall mortal man be more jufl than God ? fhall 
a man be more pure than his Maker ? 

18 Behold, he b put no truft in his fervants ; || and 
his angels he charged with folly : 

1 9 How much lef s in them that dwell in c houfes of 
clay, whofe foundation is in the duft, which are crufhed 
before the moth ? 

20 They are f deftroyed from morning to evening : 
they perifh for ever without any regarding it. 

21 Doth not their excellency which is in them go 
away ? they die even without wifdom.

3 If he will contend with him, he cannot anfwer

plied! my wounds without caufe. 

18 He will not fuffer me to take my breath, but fill- 
eth me with bitternefs. 

19 If I speak of ftrength, lo, he is ftrong : and if of 
judgment, w T ho fliall fet me a time to plead? 

20 If I juftify myfelf, mine own mouth fhall con - 
demn me : if I say, I am perfect, it fliall alfo prove 
me perverfe. 

21 Though liver e perfect, yet would I not know 
my foul ; 1 would defpiie my life. 

22 This is one thing, therefore I faid it, He de- 
ftroyeth the perfect and the wicked. 

23 If the fcourge flay fuddenly, he will laugh at the 
trial of the innocent. 

24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked : 
he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, 
where, and who is he ? 

25 Now my days are fwifter than a poft ; they flee 
away, they fee no good. 

26 They are paifed away as the f || fwift fhips ; as 
the eagle that hafteth to the prey. 

27 If I fay I will forget my complaint, I will leave 
off my heavinefs, and comfort myself; 

28 I am afraid of all my forrows, I know that thou 
wilt not hold me innocent. 

29 If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain ? 

30 If I wafli myfelf with fnow water, and make my 
hands never fo clean ; 

31 Yet flialt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine 
own clothes fhall || abhor me. 

_ 32 For he is not a man as I am, that I fhould anfwer 
him, and we fhould come together in judgment. 

33 Neither is there f any || dayfman betwixt us, 
that might lay his hand upon us both. 

34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not 
his fear terrify me : 

35 Then would I fpeak, and not fear him : f but it 
is not fo with me.

expostidating with God: 18 he repineth at having 
been brought into being, and craveth a little ease be- 
fore death. 

MY foul is || weary of my life ; I will leave my 
complaint upon myfelf; I will fpeak in the bit- 
ternefs of my foul. 

2 I will fay unto God, Do not condemn me ; fliew 
me wherefore thou contendeft with me- 

3 Is it good unto thee that thou fhouldeft opprefs ? 
that thou fhouldeft defpife \ the work of thine hands ? 
and fhine upon the counfel of the wicked ?

5 But oh that God would fpeak, and open his lips

therefore, that God exacleth of thee less than thine

thou find out the Almighty unto perfection ?

I Job entreateth God's forbearance in respect to the

eth for someplace of shelter to wait for his appoint-

AN that is born of a woman is t of few days, and J^ f

his months are with thee ; thou haft appointed his 
bounds that he cannot pafs : 

6 Turn from him, that he may f reft, till he fhall 
accompliih, as an hireling, his day. 

7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that 
it will fprout again, and that the tender branch there- 
of will not ceafe. 

8 Though the. root thereof wax old in the earth, 
and the ftock thereof die in the ground,

1 Job repraveth his friends of inhumanity toward him r 
7 he pathetically describeth his unhappy case: 17 he 
still maintaineth his innocence, for which he appeal- 
eth to God. 

THEN Job anfwered and faid, 
2 I have heard many fuch things : || a miferable 
comforters are ye all. 

3 Shall f vain words have an end ? or what embol- 
deneth thee that thou anfvvereft ? 

4 I alio could fpeak as ye do : if your foul were in 
my foul's Head, I couid heap up words againft you, 
and fhake mine head at you.-. 

5 Bia I would ftrengthen you with my mouth, and 
the moving of my lips ihould affwage your grief. 

6 Though I fpeak, my grief is not affwaged ; and 
though I forbear, f what am I eafed ? 

7 But now he hath made- me weary : thou haft made % 
defolate all my company, . 

8 And thou haft filled me with wrinkles, which is 
a witness against me: and my leannefs rifing up in me . 
beareth witnefs to my face. - 

9 He teareth me in his wrath who hateth me ; he 
gnafheth upon me with his teeth ; mine enemy fharp-, 
eneth his eyes upon me. 

10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth * 
they have fmitten me upon the cheek reproachfully ; 
they have gathered themfelves together againft me. 

1 1 God f hath delivered me to the ungodly, and t^ff' 
turned me over into the hands of the wicked. 

12 I was at eafe, but he hath broken me afunder : 
he hath alio taken me by my neck, and fhaken me to 
pieces and fet me up for his mark. 

13 His- archers cornpafs me round about ; he cleav- 
eth my reins afunder, and doth not fpare ; he pour- 
eth out my gall upon the ground. 

14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach ; he 
runneth upon me like a giant. 

15 1 have fewed fack cloth upon my fkin, and defil- 
ed my horn in the duft. 

16 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eye- 
lids is the lhadow of death ; 

17 Notfortf/jy injuftice in mine hands: alfo my 
prayer is pure. 

18 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my 
cry have no place. 

19 Alfo now, behold, my witnefs js.in heaven, and 

my record is t on high. tHeh.ia 

20 My friends tfeorn me; but mine eye poureth 'f'^- 
out tears unto God. 

21 Oh that one might plead for a man with God, 
us a man pkadeth for || his neighbour ! 

22 When f a few years are come, then I fhall go 
the way whence I lhail not return. 

C H A P. XVII. 

1 Job again appealeth to God from the harsh censures 
of his friends ; 6 whose unmerciful dealings may 
astonish, but not discourage, the righteous : 1 1 his 
hope is no longer in life, but in death.

2 ^r<? there not mockers with me ? and doth not 
, mine eye f continue in their provocation ? 

3 Lay down now, put me in a furety with thee : 
who is he that will ftrike hands with me ? 

4 For thou haft hid their heart from underftand- 
ing : therefore fhalt thou not exalt them. 

5 He that fpeaketh flattery to his friends, even the 
eyes of his children fhall fail. 

6 He hath made me alfo a byword of the people, 
and || aforetime I was as a tabret. 

7 Mine eye alfo is dim by reafon of forrow, and all 
j| my members are as a fhadow. 

8 Upright men fhall be aftonifhed at this, and the 
innocent fhall ftir up himfeif againft the hypocrite. 

9 The righteous alfo fhall hold on his way ; and 
he that hath clean hands t fhall be ftronger and 
ftronger. 

10 But as for you all, do ye return, and come now ; 
for I cannot find one wife man among you. 

11 My days are pall, my purpofes are broken off, 
even f the thoughts of my heart. 

12 They change the night into day : the light is 
t fhort, becaufe of darknefs. 

13 If I wait, the grave wmine houfe : I have made 
my bed in the darknefs. 

14 I have f faid to corruption, Thou art my father :

CHAP. XVIII. 

1 Bildadreproveth Job of presumption and impatience: 
5 he enlargeth on the inevitable calamities of the wicked. 

THEN anfwered Bildad the Shuhite, and faid, 
2 How long will it be ere ye make an end of 
words ? mark, and afterwards we will fpeak. 

3 Wherefore are we counted as beafts, arccf reputed 
vile in your fight ? 

4 He teareth t himfeif in his anger : fhall the earth 
be forfaken for thee ? and fhall the rock be removed 
out of his place ? 

5 Yea, the light of the wicked fhall be put out, and 
the fpark of his fire fhall not fhine. 

6 The light fhall be dark in his tabernacle, and 
his || candle fhall be put out with him. 

7 The ilepsofhis ftrength fhall be ftraitened, and 
his own counfel fhall call him down. 

8 For he is call into a net by his own feet, and he 
walketh upon a fnare. 

9 The gin fhall take him by the heel, and the rob- 
ber fhall prevail againft him. 

10 The fnare is j laid for him in the ground, and a 
trap for him in the way. 

1 1 Terrors fhall make him afraid on every fide, and 
fhall f drive him to his feet. 

_ 12 His ftrength fhall be hungerbitten, and deftruc- 
tion shall be ready at his fide. 

13 It fhall devour the f ftrength of his fkin : even 
the firftborn of death fhall devour his ftrength. 

14 a His confidence fhall be rooted out of his taber- 
nacle, and it fhall bring him to the king of terrors. 

15 It fhall dwell in his tabernacle, becaufe it is none 
of his : brimflone fhall be fcattered upon his habitation.

19 He fhall neither have fon nor nephew among his

CHAP. XIX. 

1 j^ob, complaining of the repeated cruelty of his friends, 
sheweth that he hath miser ij enough to gratify it: 21 
he craveth pity : 23 his faith of a resurrection, &c. 

THEN Job anfwered and faid, 
2 How long will ye vex my foul, and break 
me in pieces with words ? 

3 Thefe ten times have ye reproached me : ye are 
not afbamed that ye || make yourfelves ftrange to me. 

4 And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error 
remaineth with myfelf. 

5 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves againft me, 
and pi. ad againft me my reproach ; 

6 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and 
hath compaffed me with his net. 

7 Behold, I cry out of || wrong, but I am not heard : 
I cry aloud, but there is no judgment. 

8 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pafs, and 
he hath fet darknefs in my paths. 

9 He hath ftripped me of my glory, and taken the 
crown from my head. 

10 He hath cleftroyed me on every fide, and I am 
gone : and mine hope hath he removed like a tree. 

1 1 He hath alfo kindled his wrath againft me, and 
he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies. 

12 His troops come together, and raife up their way 
againft me, and encamp round about my tabernacle. 

13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine 
acquaintance are verily eftranged from me. 

14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends 
have forgotten me. 

15 They that dwell in mine houfe, and my maids, 
count me for a ftranger : I am an alien in their fight. 

16 I called my fervant, and he gave me no anfwer ; 
I entreated him with my mouth. 

17 My breath is ftrange to my Avife, though I en- 
treated for the children's sake off mine own body. 

18 Yea, || young children defpifed me ; I arofe, and 
they fpake againft me. 

19 a All t my inward friends abhorred me : and 
they whom I loved are turned againft me. 

20 My bone cleaveth to my fkin, || and to my flefh, 
and I am efcaped with the fkin of my teeth. 

21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye 
my friends ; for the hand of God hath touched me. 

22 Why do ye perfecute me as God, and are not 
fatisfied with my flefh ? 

23 t Oh that my words were now written ! oh that 
they were printed in a book ! 

24 That they were graven with an iron pen and 
lead in the rock for ever ! 

25 For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that 
he fhall fland at the latter day upon the earth :

THEN anfwered Zophar the Naamathite, and faid, 
2 Therefore do my thoughts caufe me to anfwer, 
and for this 1 1 make hafte. 

3 1 have heard the check of my reproach, and the 
fpirit of my underftanding caufeth me to anfwer. 

4 Knoweft thou not this of old, fince man was plac- 
ed upon earth, 

5 a That the triumphing of the wicked is t fliort, 
and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment ? 

6 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, 
••'• and his head reach unto the f clouds ; 

7 Yet he lliall perifh for ever like his own dung : 
they which have feen him mall fay, Where is. he ? 

8 He (hall fly away as a dream, and lliall not be 
found ; yea, he fhall be chafed away as a vifion of the 
night. 

9 The eye alfo ivhich faw him fhall see him no more : 
neither fhall his place any more behold him. 

10 || His children fhall feek to pleafe the poor, and 
his hands fhall reftore their goods. 

11 His bones are full of the s'm of his youth, which 
fhall lie down with him in the dull. 

12 Though wickednefs be fweet in his mouth, 
though he hide it under his tongue ; 

13 Though he fpare it and forfake it not, but keep 
t ha. in the [% ftM f within his mouth ; 

14 Tet his meat m his bowels is turned, it is the 
gall of afps within him. 

15 He hath fwallowed down riches, and he fhall vom- 
it them up again : God lhall call them out of his belly. 

16 He fhall fuck the poifon of afps ; the viper's 
tongue fhall flay him. 

17 He fhall not fee the rivers, j| the floods, the brooks 
of honey and butter. 

18 That which he laboured for fhall he refrore, and 
]*f -? h "%? b \ fhall not fwallow it down : t according to his fubftance 

■ shall the reftitution be, and he fhall not rejoice therein. 

19 Becaufe he hath t opprefftd and hath forfaken 
the poor ; because he hath violently taken away an 
houfe which he builded not ; 

20 '' Surely he lhall not f feel quietnefs in his belly, 
«wu. he lhall not fave of that which he defired. 

21 || There mail none of his meat be left ; therefore 
fhall no man look for his goods. 

22 In the fulnefs of his fufficiency he fhall be in 
droits : every hand of the || wicked lhall come upon 
him. 

23 When he is about to fill his belly, God fhall call 
the fury of his wrath upon him, and fhall rain it upon 
him while he is eating. 

24 He lhall flee from the iron weapon, and ihc bow 
of fleel fhall flrike him through. 

25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body ; yea,

28 Theincreafe of his houfe fhall depart, and his

29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, 
and the heritage t appointed unto him by God. 

CHAP. XXI. 

1 Job crayeth to be patiently heard because of his strange 
calamities : 7 he sheiveth that wicked men sometimes 
.do so prosper, that they are tempted to forget God ; 
16 though at other times their destruction is "manifest. 
23 The happy and unhappy are alike in death. 27 
The judgment of the wicked is in another world. 

BUT Job anfwered and faid, 
2 Hear diligently my fpeech ; and let this be 
your conlblations. 

3 Suffer me that I may fpeak ; and after that I have 
fpoken, mock on. 

4 As for me, is my complaint to man ? and if it 
were so, why fliould not my fpirit be t troubled ? 

5 f Mark me, and be aflonifhed, and lay your hand 
upon your mouth. 

6 Even when I remember, I am afraid, and trem- 
bling taketh hold on my fleih. 

7 a Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, 
are mighty in power ? 

8 Their feed is eflablifhed in their fight with them, "^ 
and their offspring before their eyes. 

9 Their homes f are fafe from fear, neither is the 
rod of God upon them. 

10 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not ; their cow 
calveth, and cafleth not her calf. 

11 They fend forth their little ones like a flock, and 
their children dance. 

12 They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at 
the found of the organ. 

13 They fpend their days || in wealth, and in a mo- 
ment go down to the grave. 

14 b Therefore they fay unto God, Depart from us ; 
for we defire not the knowledge of thy ways. 

15 What is the Almighty, that we fhould ferve him ? 
and what profit fliould we have, if Ave pray unto him ? 

16 Lo, their good is not in their hand : the counfel 
of the wicked is far from me. 

17 How oft is the || candle of the wicked put out ? lor.i, 
and how_ oft cometh their definition upon them ? 
God diflributeth forrows in his anger. 

18 They are as ftubble before the wind, and as chaff 
that the florm t carrieth away. *Het>. steal. 

19 Godlayeth || up his iniquity for his children: ftfiSS 
he rcwardeth him, and he lhall know it. Winter 

20 His eyes fhall fee his deflru6lion, and he fhall ^'"'«V' J 
drink of the wrath of the Almighty. 

21 For what pleafure hath he in his houfe after him, 
when the number of his months is cutoff in the midft ? 

22 Shall any teach God knowledge ? feeing he 
judgeth thofe that are high. 

23 One dieth f in his full ftrength, being wholly at 
eafe and quiet : 

24 His || breafts are full of milk, and his bones are

1 Job sheweth that although man search deep into na-

reach. 

SURELY there is || a vein for the filver, and a place 
for gold where they fine it. 

2 Iron is taken out of the || earth, and brafs is mol- 
ten out a/" the ftone. 

3 He fetteth an end todarknefs, and fearcheth out 
all perfection ; the Hones of darknefs, and the fhadow 
of death. 

4 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant, even 
the waters forgotten of the foot : they are dried up, 
they are gone away from men. 

5 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread; and 
under it is turned up as it were fire. 

6 The ftones of it are the place of fapphires ; and 
it hath || duft of gold. _ 

7 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which 
the vulture's eye hath not feen : 

8 The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the 
fierce lion pafTed by it. 

9 He putteth forth his hand upon the || rock ; he 
overturned! the mountains by the roots. 

10 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks ; and his 
eye feeth every precious thing. 

1 1 He bindeth the floods f from overflowing ; and 
the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light. 

12 But where fhall wifdom be Found ? and where 
is the place of underftanding ? 

13 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither 
is it found in the land of the living. 

14 a The depth faith, It is not in me ; and the fea 
faith, It is not with me. 

15 t It b cannot be gotten for gold, neither fhall 
filver be weighed for the price thereof. 

16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with 
the precious onyx, or the fapphire. 

17 The gold and the cryftal cannot equal it ; and 
the exel lange of it shall not be for || jewels of fine gold . 

18 No mention fhall be made of || coral, or of

19 The topaz of Ethiopia fhall not equal it, neither

"]\/I"OREOVER, Job t continued his parable, and 

2 Oh that I were as in months paft, as in the days 
•when God preferved me ; 

3 When his || candle fhined upon my head, and 
when by his light I walked through darknefs ; 

4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the 
fecret of God ivas upon my tabernacle ; 

5 When the Almighty was yet with me, when my 
children were about me ; 

6 When I walhed my fteps with butter, and the 
rock poured f me out rivers of oil ; 

7 When I went out to the gate, through the city ; 
when I prepared my feat in the ftreet ! 

8 The young men faw me, and hid themfelves ; 
and the aged arofe, and flood up. 

9 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand 
on their mouth. 

10 f The nobles held their peace, and their tongue 
cleaved to the roof of their mouth. 

11 When the ear heard me, then it bleffed me ; and 
when the eye faw me, it gave witnefs to me : 

12 Becaufe 1 delivered the poor that cried, and the 
fatherlefs, and him that had none to help him. 

13 The b'efiing of him that was ready to perifh came 
upon me ; andlcaufed the widow's heart to ling for joy. 

14 I put on righteoufnefs, and it clothed me : my 
judgment was as a robe and a diadem. 

15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame. 

16 I was a father to the poor, and the caufe which 
I knew not, I fearched out. 

17 And I brake f the jaws of the wicked, and f pluck- 
ed the fpoil out of his teeth. 

18 Then I faid, I fhall die in my neft, and I fhall 
multiply my days as the land.

Yea, whereto might the ftrength of their hands 
profit me, in whom old age was perilhed ? 

3 For want and famine they w ere \\ folitary ; fleeing 
into the wildernefs f in former time defolate and wafte: 

4 Who cut up mallows by the bufh.es, and juniper 
roots for their meat. 

5 They were driven forth from among men, (they 
cried after them as after a thief,) 

6 To dwell in the cliffs of the vallies, in f caves of 
the earth, and in the rocks. 

7 Among the bullies they brayed, under the nettles 
they were gathered together. 

8 They were children of fools, yea, children of 
L H ^,'„T" of t bafe men '■> tne y were viler than the earth. 

9 a And now am I their fong ; yea, I am their byword. 

10 They abhor me, they flee far from me, f and 
fpare not to fpit in my face. 

11 Becaufe he hath loofed my cord, and afflicted 
me, they have alfo let loofe the bridle before me. 

12 Upon my right hand rife the youth ; they pufh 
away my feet, and they raife up againlt me the ways 
of their deftruelion. 

13 They mar my path ; they fet forward my calam- 
ity ; they have no helper. 

14 They came upon me as a wide breaking in ofiva- 
ters: in the defolation they rolled themfelves upon me. 

tHebwy ' 15 Terrors are turned upon me : they purfue f my 
, foul as the wind,and my welfare paffeth away as a cloud. 

16 And now my foul is poured out upon me ; the 
days of affliction have taken hold upon me. 

17 My bones are pierced in me in the night feafon, 
and my linews take no reft. 

18 By the great force of my disease is my garment 
changed ; it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat. 

19 He hath caft me into the mire, and I am become 
like dull and allies. 

20 I cry unto thee, and thou doft not hear me ; I 
fland up, and thou regardefl me not. 

21 Thou art f become cruel to me ; with t thy

25 b Did not I weep \ for him that was in trouble ? 
was not my foul grieved for the poor ? 

2 When I looked for good, then evil came unto 
me ; and when I waited for light, there came darknefs. 

27 My bowels boiled, and refted not ; the days of

5 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath

8 Then let me fow, and let another eat ; yea, let my

9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman ; 
or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door ; 

10 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let

11 For this is an heinous crim©; yea, it is an ini-

CHAP. XXXII. 

1 El'ihu is angry with Job and his three friends. 6 Be- 
cause wisdom doth not always come from age, he ex- 
cuseth the boldness of his youth: 11 he complaineth 
of the weak reasonings of those who, instead of con- 
futing j^ob, had been silenced by him : 16 hesheweth 
his zeal to speak. 

SO thefe three men ceafeel t to -anfwer Job, becaufe 
he was righteous in his own eyes. 

2 Then was. kindled the wrath of Elihu the fon of 
Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram ; againft 
Job w r as his wrath bundled, becaufe he juftified f him- 
felf rather than God. 

3 Alio againft his three friends was his wrath kin-

20 In a moment fhall they die, and the poeple fhall cSuVa*

21 s For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and 
he teeth ail his goings. 

22 There is no darknefs, nor fhadow of death, 
where the workers of iniquity may hide themfelves. 

23 For he will not lay upon man more than right, 
that he fhould f enter into judgment with God. 

24 He fhall break in pieces mighty men f without *,*F*

25 Therefore he knoweth their works, and he over

26 He ftriketh them as wicked men t in the open l^ifZ

27 Becaufe they turned back f from him, and

trouble ? and when he hideth his face, who then can 
behold him I whether it be done againit a nation, or 
againft a man only : 

30 That the hypocrite reign not, left the people be 
enfnared. 

31 Surely it is meet to be faid unto God, I have 
borne chastisement, I will not offend any more: 

32 That which I fee not, teach thou me; if I have 
done iniquity, I will do no more. 

33 f Should it be according to thy mind? he will

35 Job hath fpoken without knowledge, and his 
words were without wifdom. 

36 || My defire is-, that Job may be tried unto the 
end, becaufe of his anfwers for wicked men. 

37 For he addeth rebellion untohis fin ; he clap-

5 Behold, God is mighty, and defpifeth not any : 
he is mighty, in ftrength and t wifdom. 

6 He preierveth not the life of the wicked ; but 
giveth right to the || poor. 

7 :i He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous : 
but with kings are they on the throne ; yea, he doth 
eftablifh them for ever, and they are exalted. 

8 And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in 
cords of affliction, 

9 Then he fheweth them their work, and their 
tranfgrefaons that they have exceeded. 

10 He openeth alio their ear to difcipline, and com- 
mandeth that they return from iniquity. 

I I If they obey and ferve him, they fliall b fpend 
their days in profperity, and their years in pleafures : 

12 But if they obey not, f they fhall perifh by the 
fword, and they fliall die without knowledge. 

13 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath ; they 
cry not when he bindeth them. 

14 f They die in youth, and their life zVaraong the 

II unclean. 

15 He delivefeth the || poor in his affliction, and 
openeth their ears in oppreffion : 

16 Even fo would he have removed thee out of the 
ftrait into a broad place, where there is no ftraitnefs ; 
and t that which iliould be let on thy table should be 
full of fatnefs. 

17 But thou haft, fulfilled the judgment of the wick- 
ed ; || judgment and juilice take hold on thee. 

18 Becaufe there is wrath, beware left he take thee 
away with his ftroke : then a great ranfom cannot 
t deliver thee, 

19 Will he efteem thy riches ? no, not gold, nor all 
the forces of ftrength.

JOB. God is to be feared for his great works. 

20 Defire not the night, when people are cut offin 
their place. 

21 Take heed, regard not iniquity : for this haft 
thou chofen rather than affliction. 

22 Behold, God exalteth by his power; who teach- 
eth like him ? 

23 Who hath enjoined him his way ? or who can 
fay, Thou haft wrought iniquity ? 

24 Remember that thou magnify his Work, which 
men behold. 

25 Every man may fee it ; man may behold it afar 
off. 

26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not ; 
neither can the number of his years be fearched out. 

27 For he maketh fmall the drops of water : they 
pour down rain according to the vapour thereof, 

28 Which the clouds do drop and diftill upon man 
abundantly. 

29 Alfo can any underftand the fpreadings of the 
clouds, or the noife of his tabernacle ? 

30 Behold, he fpreadeth his light upon it, and cov- 
ereth f the bottom of the fea. 

31 For by them judgeth he the people ; he giveth 
meat in abundance. 

32 With clouds he covereth the light ; and com- 
manded! it not to shine, by the cloud that cometh be- 
twixt. 

33 The noife thereof fheweth concerning it, the 
cattle alfo concerning f the vapour. 

CHAP. XXXVII. 

1 God is terrible in his great works : 15 his wisdom in 
them is unsearchable. 23 Men ought to fear him. 

AT this alfo my heart trembleth, and is moved out 
of his place. 

2 f Hear attentively the noife of his voice, and the 
found that goeth out of his mouth. 

3 He directed! it under the whole heaven, and his 
f lightning unto the -\ ends of the earth. 

4 After it a voice roareth : he thundereth with the 
voice of his excellency ; and he will not ftay them 
when his voice is heard. 

5 God thundereth marvelloufiy with his voice ; 
great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. 

6 For a he faith to the fnow, Be thou on the earth ; 
f like wife to the fmall rain, and to the great rain of his 
ftrength. 

7 He fealeth up the hand of every man, that all men 
may know his work. 

8 Then the beaft go into dens, and remain in their 
places. 

9 t Out of the fouth cometh the whirlwind, and 
cold out of the t north. 

10 By the breath of God froft is given ; and the 
breadth of the waters is ftraitened. 

1 1 Alfo by watering he wearieth the thick cloud ; 
he fcattereth f his bright cloud. 

12 And it is turned round, about by his counfels, 
that they may do whatfoever he commanded! them 
upon the face of the world in the earth. 

13 He caufeth it to come, whether for f correction, 
or for his land, or for mercy. 

14 Hearken unto this, O Job ; ftand ftill, and con- 
fider the Ayondrous works of God. 

15 Doft thou know when God difpofed them, and

4 Hear, I befeech thee, and I will fpeak : I will c ' ; ,'''"t

5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear ; 
but now mine eye feeth thee : 

6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in duft 
and aihes. 

7 U And it was so, that, after the Lord had fpoken 
thele words unto Job, the Lord faid to Eliphaz the 
Temanite, My wrath is kindled againft thee, and 
againit thy two friends : for ye have not fpoken of me 
the thing that is right, as my fervant Job hath. 

8 Therefore take unto you now feven bullocks and 
feven rams, and go to my fervant Job, and offer up for 
yourfefves a burnt offering ; and my fervant Job (hall 

pray for you ; for f him will I accept : left I deal with J "" b ar * 
you after your folly, in that ye have not fpoken of me P erim - 
the thing which is right, like my fervant Job. 

9 T[ So Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shu- 
hite, and Xophzv the Naamathite went, and did ac- 
cording as the Lord commanded them : the Lord 
alio accepted f Job. 

10 And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when 
he prayed for his friends ; alio the Lord 7 gave Job 
twice as much as he had before. 

11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and 
all his lifters, and all they that had been of his acquaint- 
ance before, and did eat bread with him in his houfe ; 
and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all 
the evil that the Lord had brought upon him : every 
man alfo gave him a piece of money, and every one 
an earring of gold. 

12 So the Lord bleffed the latter end of Job more 
than his beginning :„for he had fourteen thoufand 
fheep, and fix thoufand camels, and a thoufand yoke 
of oxen, and a thoufand flie affes. 

13 H He had alfo feven fons and three daughters. 

14 And he called the name of the firft, Jemima ; 
and the name of the fecond, Kezia ; and the name of 
the third, Kerenhappuch. 

15 And in all the land were no women found so 
fair as the daughters of Job ; and their father gave- 
them inheritance among their brethren. 

16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, 
and faw his fons, and his fons' fons, even four genera- 
tions. 

17 So Job died, being old, and full of days.

pieces, while there is f none to deliver.

peace with me ; (yea, I have delivered him that with- 
out caufe is mine enemy ;)

of death ; he ordaineth his arrows againft the perfecutors. 

14 c Behold, he travaileth with iniquity, and hath 
conceived mifchief, and brought forth falfehood.

II A pfalm of David. 

LORD, a who flaall f abide in thy tabernacle ? who 
lhall dwell in thy holy hill ? 

2 b He that walketh uprightly, and worketh right - 
eoufnefs, and fpeaketh the truth in his heart. 

3 He thai backbiteth not with his tongue, nor 
doeth evil to his neighbour, nor [| taketh up a reproach 
againft his neighbour. 

4 In whole eyes a vile perfon is contemned ; but 
he honoureth them that fear the Lord : be that 
fweareih to his own- hurt, and changeth not. 

5 c He that putteth not out his money to ufury, nor 
taketh reward againft the innocent. He that doeth 
thefe things lhall never be moved. 

PSALM XVI. 
I David ' ficeth to God for protection, disclaiming" all

1 not offer, nor take up their names into my lips. 

5 u The Lord is the portion f of mine inheritance,

6 In my diftrefs I called upon the Lord, and cried 
unto my God : he heard my voiec out of his temple,

7 Then the earth fhook and trembled ; the foun-

caufe he was wroth. 

8 There went up a fmoke t out of hisnoflrils, and fire 
out of his mouth devoured : coals were kindled by it.

round about him were dark waters and thick clouds 
of the fkies. 

12 At the brightnefs that was before him his thick 
clouds palTed ; hail stones and coals of fire. 

13 The Lord alfo thundered in the heavens, and 
the Higheft gave his voice ; hail stones and coals of fire. 

14 Yea, he fent out his arrows, and fcattered them ; 
and he fhot out lightnings, and difcomfited them. 

15 Then the channels of waters were feen, and the 
foundations of the world were difcovered at thy re- 
buke, O Lord, at the blaft of the breath of thy noftrils. 

16 He fent from above, he took me, he drew me 
out of || many waters. 

17 He delivered me from my ftrong enemy, and 
from them which hated me : for they were too ftrong 
for me. 

18 They prevented me in the day of my calamity : 
but the Lord was my flay. 

19 He brought me forth alfo in to a large place ; he 
delivered me, became he delighted in me. 

20 The Lord rewarded me according to my right- 
eoufnefs ; according to the cleannefs of my hands 
hath he recompenfed me. 

21 For I have kept the ways of the Lord, and have 
not wickedly departed from my God. 

22 For all his judgments were before me, and I did 
not put away his ftatutes from me. 

23 I was alfo upright f before him ; and I kept my- 
felf from mine iniquity. 

24 Therefore hath the Lord recompenfed me ac- 
cording to my righteoufnefs, according to the clean- 

th%u f " re ne f s of W b&nds t in his eyelight. 

25 With the merciful thou wilt fhew thyfelf mer-

upright ; 

26 With the pure thou wilt fhew thyfelf pure ; and 
with the froward thou wilt || fhew thyfelf fro ward. 

27 For thou wilt fave the afflicted people ; but wilt 
bring down high looks. 

28 For thou wilt light my || candle : the Lord my 
God will enlighten my darknefs. 

29 For by thee I have || run through a troop ; and 
by my God have I leaped over a wall. 

30 As for God, his way is perfect : c the word of the 
Lord is || tried : he is a buckler to all thole that truft

31 d For who is God fave the Lord ? or, who is a 
rock fave our God ? 

32 It is God that girdeth me with firength, and 
maketh my way perfect. 

33 He maketh my feet like hinds' feet, and fetteth 
me upon my high places. 

34 He teacheth my hands to war, fo that a bow of 
fleel is broken by mine arms. 

35 Thou haft alfo given me the fhield of thy falva- 
tion ; and thy right hand hath holden me up, and || thy 
gentlenefs hath made me great. 

36 Thou haft enlarged my fteps under me, that 
f my feet did not flip. 

37 I have purfued mine enemies, and overtaken 
them; neither did I turn again till they were confumed. 

38 1 have wounded them, that they were not able

2 O my God, I cry in the day time, but thou heareft

3 But thou art holy, thou that inhabiteft the

4 Our fathers trufled in thee : they trufled, and 
thou diclft deliver them. 

5 They cried unto thee, and were delivered : they 
trufled in thee, and were not confounded. 

6 But I am a worm, and no man : a reproach of 
men, and defpifed of the people. 

7 b All they that fee irie laugh me to fcorn : they 
f fhoot out the lip, they fhake the head, saying, 

8 c t He trufled on the Lord that he would deliver 
him : let him deliver him, |] feeing he delighted in him. 

9 But thou art he that took me out of the womb ; 
thou [) didft make me hope when I was upon my

10 I was call upon thee from the womb : thou art 
my God from my mother's belly. 

11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near ; for 
there is f none to help, 

12 Many bulls have compaffed me : flrong bulls of 
Bafhan have befet me round. 

13 They t gaped upon me with their mouths, as a 
ravining and a roaring lion. 

14 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are 
II out of joint : my heart is like wax, it is melted in the 
midft of my bowels. 

15 My flrength is dried up like a potfherd ; and my

me into the duff of death. 

16 For dogs have compaffed me ; the affembly of

17 1 may tell all my bones ; they look and flare

the midft of the congregation will I praife thee. 

23 Ye that fear the Lord, praife him; all ye the

feed of Ifrael. 

24 For he hath not defpifed nor abhorred the afflic- 
tion of the afflicled, neither hath he hid his face from, 
him ; but when he cried unto him, he heard. 

25 My praife shall be of thee in the great congrega-

1 David prayeth for his own safety, and his enemies' 1 
confusion; 11 he complaineth of their calumny, in-

^ A psalm of David. 

PLEAD my cause, O Lord, with them that drive 
with me : fight againft them that fight againft me. 

2 Take hold of ihieid and buckler, and ftand up for 
mine help. 

3 Draw out alfo the fpear, and flop the way againft: 
them that perfecute me : fay unto my foul, 1 am thy 
falvation. 

4 a Let them be confounded and put to fhame that 
feek after my foul : let them be turned back and 
brought to confufion that devife my hurt. 

5 b Let them be as chaff before the wind ; and let 
the angel of the Lord chafe them. 

6 Let their way be f dark and flippery ; and let the 
angel of the Lord perfecute them. 

7 For without caufe have they hid for me their net 
in a pit, which without caufe they have digged for my 
foul. 

8 Let deftruclion come upon him t at unawares ; 
and let his net that he hath hid catch himfelf : into that 
very deftruclion let him fall. 

9 And my foul iliall be joyful in the Lord ; it iliall 
rejoice in his falvation. 

10 All my bones fhall fay, Lord, who is like unto 
thee, which delivereft the poor from him that is too 
itrong for him ; yea, the poor and the needy from him 
that ipoileth him ? 

lit Falfe witneffes did rife up ; f they laid to my 
charge things that I knew not. 

12 They rewarded me evil for good, to the 1'fpoil- 
ing of my ibul. 

13 But as for me, when they wore fick, my clothing 
was fackcloth : 1 1| humbled my foul with failing, and 
my prayer returned into mine own bofom. 

_14 If behaved myfelf t as though he had been my 
friend or brother ; I bowed down heavily, as one that 
mourneth /or his mother. 

15 But in mine tadverfity they rejoiced, and gath- 
ered themielves together j yea, the abjecls gathered 
themielves together againft me, and I knew it not ; 
they did tear me, and ceafed not : 

16 With hypocritical mockers in feafts, they gnafh- 
ed upon me with their teeth. 

17 Lord, how long wilt thou look on ? rcfeuc my 
foul from their deftrutTUons, j my darling from the

WE have heard with our ears, O God, our fathers 
have told us, what work thou didfl in their 
jays, in the times of old : 

2 Hoiv thou didft drive out the heathen with thy 
hand, and plantedft them ; bow thou didft afflict the 
people, and call them out. 

3 For they got not the land in poffeffion by their 
own fword, neither did their own arm fave them ; but 
thy right hand, and thine arm, and the light of thy 
countenance, becaufc thou hadft a favour untothein. 

4 Thou art my King, O God ; command deliver- 
ances for Jacob. 

5 Through thee will we pufh down our enemies ; 
through thy name will we tread them under that rife 
up againft us. 

6 For I will not trull in my bow, neither (hall my 
fword fave me. 

7 But thou haft laved us from our enemies, and 
haft put them to fhame that hated us. 

8 In God we boaft all the day long, and praife thy 
name for ever. Selah. 

9 But thou haft call off, and put us to fhame ; and 
goeft not forth with our armies. 

10 Thou makelt us to turn back from the enemy ; 
and they which hate us fpoil for themfelves. 

11 Thou haft given us t like fhcep appointed for 
meat ; and haft fcattered us among the heathen. 

12 Thou felleft thy people f_ for nought, and doft 
not increafe thy wealth by their price. 

13 a Thou makelt us a reproach to our neighbours, 
a fcorn and a derifion to them that are round about us. 
, 14 b Thou makelt us a byword among the heathen, 
and fhakingof the head among the people. 

15 My confufion is continually before me, and the 
fhame of my face hath covered me. 

16 For the voice of him that reproacheth and blaf- 
phemeth ; by reafon of the enemy and avenger. 

17 AH this is come upon us ; yet have we not for- 
gotten thee, neither have we dealt falfely in thy cove- 
nant. 

18 Our heart is not turned back, neither have our 
|| fteps declined from thy way. 

19 Though thou haft fore broken us in the place 
of dragons, and covered us with the fhadow of death. 

20 If we have forgotten the name of our God, or 
ftretched out our hands to a ftrange god, 

21 Shall not God fearch this out? for he knoweth 
the fccrets of the heart. 

22 £ Yea, for thy fake are we killed all the day long ; 
we are counted as fheep for the {laughter. 

23 Awake, why fleepeft thou O Lord ? arife, caft 
us not off for ever. 

24 Wherefore hideft thou thy face, and forgctteft 
our affliction and our oppreffion ? 

25 For our foul is bowed down to the dull ; our 
belly cleaveth unto the earth.

thou art he that took me out of my mother's bowels : 
my praife shall be continually of thee.

adverfaries to my foul ; let them be covered with re- 
proach and difhonour that feek my hurt. 

14 But I will hope continually, and will yet praife

15 My mouth fhall fhew forth thy righteoufnefs and 
thy falvation all the day ; for I know not the numbers

16 I will go in the ftrength of the Lord God : I 
will make mention of thy righteoufnefs, even of thine

PSALM LXXVIII. 
1 An exhortation both to learn and to preach the law 
of God. 9 The story of God's wrath against the in- 
credulous, &c. 

TT II Mafchil of Afaph. 

GIVE ear, O my people, to my law : incline your 
ears to the words of my mouth. 

2 a I will open my mouth in a parable ; I will utter 
dark layings of old ; 

3 Which we have heard and known, and our fa- 
thers have told us. 

4 We will not hide them from their children, (hew- 
ing to the generation to come the praifes of the Lord, 
and his ftrength, and his wonderful works that he 
hath done. 

5 For he eftabiifhed a teftimony in Jacob, and ap- 
pointed a law in Ifrael, which he commanded our 
fathers, b that they ihould make them known to their 
children : 

6 That the generation to come might know them, 
even the children which fhould be born ; who fhould 
arife and declare them to their children : 

7 That they might fet their hope in God, and not 
forget the works of God, but keep his commandments. 

8 And might not be as their fathers, a ftubborn and 
rebellious generation ; a generation f that fet not their 
heart aright, and whofe fpirit was notftedfaft with God. 

9 The children of Ephraim , being armed, and-f car- 
rying bows, turned back in the day of battle. 

10 They kept not the covenant of God, and refuf- 
ed to walk in his law ; 

1 1 And forgat his works, and his wonders that he 
had fhewed them. 

12 Marvellous things did he in the fight of their 
fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan. 

13 c He divided the fea, and caufed them to pafs 
through ; and he made the waters to ftand as an heap. 

14 d In the daytime alfo he led them with a cloud, 
and all the night with a light of fire. 

15 e He clave the rocks in the wildernefs, and gave 
them drink as out of the great depths. 

16 He brought ftreams alfo out of the rock, and 
caufed waters to run down like rivers. 

17 And they finned yet more againft him, by pro- 
voking the molt High in the wildernefs. 

18 And they tempted God in their heart, by alking 
meat for their luft. 



19 f Yea r they fpake againft God ; they faid, Can 
God t furnifh a table in the wildernefs ? 

20 s Behold,, he frnote the rock, that the waters 
gufhed out, and the ftreams overflowed ; can he give 
bread alfo ? can he provide flefh for his people ? 

21 Thereforethe Lord heard this and was wroth ; 
fo a fire was kindled againft Jacob, and anger alfo 
came up againft Ifrael ; 

22 Becaufe they believed not in God, and trailed 
not in his falvation ; 

23 Though he had commanded the clouds from 
above, and opened the doors of heaven, 

24 h And had rained down manna upon them to 
eat, and had given them of the corn of heaven. 

25 || Man did eat angels' food ; he fent them meat 
to the full. 

26 He caufed an eaft wind f to blow in the heaven ; 
and by his power he brought in thefouth wind. 

27 He rained flefh alfo upon them as duft, and 
t feathered fowls like as the land of the fea ,- 

28 And he let it fall in the midft of their camp, 
round about their habitations. 

29 So they did eat, and were well filled : for he gave 
them their own defire ; 

30 They were not eftranged from their luft : but 
1 while their meat was yet in their mouths, 

31 The wrath of God came upon them, and flew 
the fatteft of them, and f frnote down the |J chofen 
men of Ifrael. 

32 For all this they finned Hill, and believed not 
for his wondrous works. 

33 Therefore their days did he confume in vanity, 
and their years in trouble. 

34 When he flew them, then they fought him ; and 
they returned, and inquired early after God : 

35 And they remembered that God was their Rock, 
and the high God their Redeemer. 

36 Neverthelefs; they did flatter him with their 
mouth, and they lied unto him with their tongues. 

37 For their heart was not right with him, neither 
were they ftedfaft in his covenant. 

38 But he, being full of compaflion, forgave their 
iniquity, and deftroyed them not ; yea, many a time 
turned he his anger away, and did not ftir up all his 
wrath. 

39 For he remembered that they were but flefh ; a 
wind that paffeth away and cometh not again. 

40 How oft did they || provoke him in the wilder- 
nefs, and grieve him in the defert ! 

41 Yea, they turned back, and tempted God, and 
limited the holy One of Ifrael. 

42 They remembered not his hand, nor the day 
when he delivered them || from the enemy. 

43 How he had f wrought his figns in Egypt, and 
his wonders in the field of Zoan; 

44 k And had turned their rivers into blood, and 
their floods, that they could not drink. 

45 * He fent divers forts of flies among them, which 
devoured them ; and m frogs, which deftroyed them. 

46 n He gave alio their increafe unto the caterpillar, 
and their labour unto the Iocuft. 

47 °He f deftroyed their vines with hail, and their 
fycamore trees with || froft. 

48 f He gave up their cattle alfo to the hail, and 
their flocks to || hot thunderbolts.

wrath, and indignation, and trouble, by fending evil 
angels among them. 

50 t He made a way to his anger ; he fpared not 
their foul from death, but gave || their life over to the 
peftilence ; 

51 p And fmote all the firflborn in Egypt ; the 
chief of their flrength in the tabernacles of Ham : 

52 But made his own people to go forth like fheep, 
and guided them in the wildernefs like a flock. 

53 And he led them on fafely, fo that they feared 
not : but the fea q t overwhelmed their enemies. 

54 And he brought them to the border of his fanc- 
tuary, even to this mountain, which his right hand had 
purchafed. 

55 Hecafl out the heathen alio before them, and 
r divided them an inheritance by line, and made the 
tribes of Ifrael to dwell in their tents. 

56 Yet they tempted and provoked the moll high 
God, and kept not his teftimonies. 

57 But turned back, and dealt unfaithfully like their 
fathers : they were turned afide like a deceitful bow. 

• 58 s For they provoked_ him to anger with their 
high places, and moved him to jeaioufy with their 
graven images. 

59 When God heard this, he was wroth, and great- 
ly abhorred Ifrael : 

• 60 r So that he forfook the tabernacle of Shiloh, the 
tent which he placed among men ; 

61 And delivered his flrength into captivity, and 
his glory into the enemy's hand. 

62 He gave his people over alfo unto the fword, and 
was wroth with his inheritance. 

63 The fire confumed their young men ; and their 
maidens were not t given to marriage. 

64 Their priefts fell by the fword ; and their wid- 
ows made no lamentation. 

65 Then the Lord awaked as one out of deep, and 
like a mighty man that fhouteth by reafon of wine : 

£6 And he fmote his enemies in the hinder parts ; 
he put them to a perpetual reproach. 

67 Moreover, herefufed the tabernacle of Jofeph, 
and chofe not the tribe of Ephraim. 

68 But chofe the tribe of Judah, the mount Zion 
which he loved. 

69 And he built his fanctuary like high palaces, like 
the earth which he hath f eftablifhed for ever. 

70 u He chofe David alfo hisfervant, and took him 
from the fheepfolds : 

71 t From following the ewes great with young 
he brought him x to feed Jacob his people, and Ifrael 
his inheritance. 

72 So he fed them according to the integrity of his 
heart, and guided them bv the fkUfulnefs of his hands.

3 Their blood have they died like water round

21 They forgat God their Saviour, which had done 
great things in Egypt ; 

22 Wondrous works in the land of Ham v and ter-

Ill, IV. Exhortations to study 

19 The Lord by wifdom hath founded the earth ; 
by underftanding hath he || eftablilhed the heavens : 

20 By his knowledge the depths are broken up, and 
the clouds drop down the dew. 

21 If My fon, let not them depart from thine eyes ; 
keep found wifdom and difcretion : 

22 So fhall they be life unto thy foul, and grace to 
thy neck. 

23 k Then fhalt thou walk in thy way fafely, and 
thy foot fhall not ftumble. 

24 When thou lieft down, thou fhalt not be afraid ; 
yea, thou fhait lie down, and thy fleep fhall be fweet. 

25 Be not afraid of Hidden fear, neither of the defo- 
lation of the wicked, when it cometh. 

26 For the Lord fhall be thy confidence, and fhall 
keep thy foot from being taken. 

27 If Withhold not good from f them to whom it is 
due, when it is in the power of thine hand to do it. 

28 Say not unto thy neighbour, Go, and come again, 
and tomorrow I will give, when thou haft it by thee. 

29 If || Devife not evil againft thy neighbour, feeing 
he dwelleth fecurely by thee. 

30 Strive not with a man without caufe, if he have 
done thee no harm. 

31 ] Envy thou not t the oppreffor, and choofe none 
of his ways. 

32 For the froward is abomination to the Lord; 
m but his fecret wr with the righteous. 

33 If n The curie of the Lord is in the houfe of the 
wicked : but he bleffeth the habitation of the juil. 

34 ° Surely he fcorneth the fcomers : but he giveth 
grace unto the lowly. 

35 The wife fhall inherit glory : but fname f fhall 
be the promotion of fools.

struction he had received of his parents, 5 io study

guard the heart, &c. 

HEAR, ye children, the inftruclionof a father, and 
attend to know underftanding. 

2 For I give you good doclrine, forfake ye not my 
law. 

3 For I was my father's fon, a tender and only belov- 
ed in the light of my mother. 

4 b He taught me alio, and laid unto me, Let thine 
heart retain my words : keep my commandments and 
live. 

5 IT Get wifdom, get underftanding ; forget it not; 
neither decline from the words of my mouth. 

6 Forfake her not, and fhe ihall preferve thee ; love 
her, and fhe lhall keep thee.

dom '; and with all thy getting get underftanding.

9 She lhall give to thine head c an ornament of

10 Hear, O my fon, and receive my fayings ; and 
the years of thy life fhall be many. 

Ill have taught thee in the way of wifdom ; I have 
led thee in right paths. 

12 When thou goeft, thy flops fhall not be ftraiten-

23 e For the commandment is a || lamp ; and the law

25 II s Lull not after her beauty in thine heart ; nei- 
ther let her take thee with her eyelids : 

26 For by means of a whorilh woman, a man is 
brought to a piece of bread ; and t the adulterefs will 
hunt for the precious life. 

27 Can a man. take fire in his bofom, and his clothes 
not be burnt ? 

28 Can one go upon hot Coals, and his feet not be 
burnt ? \ ... - 

29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife ; 
whofoever toucheth her fhall not be innocent. 

30 Men do not defpife a thief, if he fteal to fatisfy 
his foul when he is hungry : 

31 But if he be found, he fhall reftore feven fold, 
he lhall give all the fubftance of his houfe. 

32 But whofo committeth adultery with a woman 
lacketh f underftanding : he that doeth it deftroyeth 
his own foul. 

33 A wound and dishonour fhall he get ; and his 
reproach fhall not be wiped away. 

34 For jealoufy is the rage of a man ; therefore he 
will not fpare in the day of vengeance. 

35 f He will not regard any ranfom ; neither will 
he reft content, though thou giveft many gifts. 

C H A P. VII. 
1 Solomon recommcndeth obedience to his precepts, and 
kind familiarity with wisdom : 6 in an example of 
his own experience he sheweth the cunning of a 
whore, and the desperate folly of a youth seduced by 
her : 24 he dissuadethfrom such dangerous courses. 

MY fon, keep my words, and lay up my command-

2 Keep my commandments and live ; and my law

4 Say unto wifdom, Thou art my filter, and call 
underftanding thy kinfwoman ; 

5 b That they may keep thee from the ftrange wo- 
man, from the ftranger which flattereth with her 
words. 

6 M For at the window of my houfe I looked 
through my cafement,

among f the youths, a young man void of under- 
ftanding,

'he went the way to her houfe,

10 And, behold, there met him a woman with the

1 1 C c She is loud and llubborn ; her feet abide not 
in her houfe : 

12 Now is she without, now in the ftreets, and lieth 
in wait at every corner.) 

13 So Ihe caught him, and kifled him, and t with 
an impudent face laid unto him,

. 2 b Treafures of wickednefs profit nothing : but

3 c The Lord will not fuifer the foul of the right-

the wicked. 

4 d He becometh poor that dealeth, with a flack 
hand : but the hand of the diiigent maketh rich. 

5 He that gathereth in fummer is a. wife fon : but he 
that lleepeth in harveft, is a fon that caufeth fhame. 

6 Bleffings are upon the head of the juit : but

in the days to come lhall all be forgotten ; and how 
dieth the wife man ? as the fool. 

17 Therefore I hated life ; becaufe the work that 
is wrought under the fun is. grievous unto me : for all 
is vanity and vexation of fpirit. 

18 11 Yea, I hated all my labour which I had t taken 
under the fun; becaufe f Ifhould leave it. unto the 
man that fliall be after me : 

19 And who knoweth whether he fliall be a wife 
man or a fool ? yet lhall he have rule over all my la- 
bour wherein I have laboured, and wherein I have 
fhewed myfelf wife under the fun. This is alfo vanit}^. 

20 Therefore I went about to caufe my heart to 
defpair of all the labour which 1 took under the fun. 

21 For there is a man whofe labour is in wifdom, 
and in knowledge, and in equity ; yet to a man that 

hath not laboured therein fhall he f leave it for his tHeb. f »w; 
portion. This alfo is vanity, and a great evil. 

22 g For what hath man of all his labour, and of the 
vexation of his heart, wherein he hath laboured under 
the fun ? 

23 For all his days are h forrows, and his travail b. job 141. 
grief ; yea, his heart taketh not reft in the night. This 

is alfo vanity. 

24 II i There is nothing better for a man than that he i^fj" 
fhould eat and drink, and that he || fhould make his \^' >delight 
foul enjoy good in his labour. This alfo I faw, that 
it was from the hand of God. 

25 For who can eat, or who elfe can haften hereunto 
more than I ? 

26 For God giveth to a man that is good t in his 
fight, wifdom, and knowledge, and joy : but to the 
{inner he giveth travail, to gather, and to heap up, 
that k he may give to him that is good before God. 
This alfo issfanity and vexation of fpirit.

he hath neither child nor brother : yet is there no end of 
alibis labour ; neither is his eye fatisfied with riches ; 
neither saith he, For whom do I labour, and bereave my 
foul of good ? This is alfo vanity, yea, it is a fore travail. 

9 If Two are better than one ; becaufe they have 

a good reward for their labour. «• 

10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow ; 
but woe to him that is alone when he falleth ; for he 
hath not another to help him up. 

11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat : 
but how can one be warm alone ? 

12 And if one prevail againft him, two fhall with-

10 He that loveth iiiver fhall not be fatisfied with

11 When goods increafe, they are increafed that 
eat them : and what good is there to the owners there- 
of, faving the beholding of them with their eyes ? 

12 The fleep of a labouring man is fweet, whether 
he eat little or much : but the abundance of the rich 
will not fuffcr him to fleep. 

13 There, is a fore evil which I have feen under the 
fun, namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to 
their hurt. 

14 But thofe riches perjfh by evil travail ; and he 
begetteth a fon, and there is nothing in his hand. 

15 e As he came forth of his mother's womb, nak- 
ed fliall he return to go as he came, and fhall take 
nothing of his labour, which he may carry away in 
his hand. 

16 And this alfo is a fore evil, that in all points as 
he came, fo fhall he go : and f what profit hath he that 
hath laboured for the wind ?

f^jf re and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy 

the good of all his labour that he taketh under the fun 
f all the days of his life, which God giveth him ; for 
it is his portion. 

19 Every man alfo to whom God hath given riches 
and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, 
and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labour ; 
this is the gift of God.

7 TI All the labour of man is for his mouth, and 
yet the t appetite is not filled. 

8 For what hath the wife more than the fool ? what 
hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living ? 

9 Better is the fight of the eyes, tthan the wan- 
dering of the delire. This is alfo vanity and vexation 
of fpirit. 

10 1 That which hath been is named already, and 
it is known that it is man ; neither may he contend 
with hirn that is mightier than he. 

11 Seeing there be many things that increafe vanity, 
what is man the better ? 

12 For who knoweth what is good for man in this 

life, t all the days of his vain life which he fpendeth l^ffc^

24 That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who 
can find it out ? 

25 T 1 1 applied mine heart to know, and to fearch, 
and to leek out wifdom, and the reaibn of things, and 
to know the wickednefs of folly, even of foolilhnefs 
and madnefs : 

26 h And I find more bitter than death the woman 
whofe heart is fnares and nets, andher hands as bands : 
t whofo pleafeth God fhall efcape from her ; but the 
finner fhall be taken by her. 

27 Behold, this have I found, (faith the Preacher,) 
|| counting one by one, to find out the account ; 

28 Which yet my foul feeketh, but I find not : one 
man among a thoufand have I found, but a woman 
among all thofe have I not found. 

29 Lo, this only have I found, ; that God hath 
made man upright ; but they have fought out many 
inventions. 

CHAP. VIII. 

1 True wisdom inspireth modesty. 2 Kings arc greatly 
to be respected. 6 Marl's ignorance of futurity . 12 
The difference of the good and the wicked in the end, 
though- At be otherwise for a time. 16 God's ivorkis 
unsearchable. 

WHO is as the wife man ? and who knoweth the 
interpretation of a thing ? a A man's wifdom 
maketh his face to fliine, and f the boldnefs of his 
face lhall be changed. 

2 If I counsel thee to keep the king's commandment, 
and that in regard of the oath of God. 

3 Be not halty to go out of his fight : ftand not in 
an evil thing ; for he doeth whatfoever pleafeth him. 

4 Where the word of a king is, there is power ; and 
who may fay unto him, What dot ft thou ? 

5 Whofo keepeth the commandment f fhall feel no 
evil thing ; and a wife man's heart difcerneth both 
time and judgment. 

6 If Becaufe to every purpofe there is time and judg- 
ment ; therefore the mifery of man is great upon him. 

7 For he knoweth not that which fhall be : for who 
can tell him || when it fhall be ? 

8 If There is no man that hath power b over the fpirit 
to retain the fpirit ; neither hath he power in the day of 
death : and there is no || difcharge in that war ; neither 
fhall wickednefs deliver thofe that are given to it. 

9 All this have Ifeen, and applied my heart unto 
every work that is done under the fun : there is a time 
wherein one man ruleth over another to his own hurt. 

10 Andfo I faw the wicked buried, who had come 
and gone from the place of the holy, and they were 
forgotten in the city where they had fo done. This is 
alfo vanity. 

1 1 If Becaufe fentence againft an evil work is not 
executed fbeedily, therefore the heart of the ions of 
men is fully fct in them to do evil. 



12 1 Though a finner do evil an hundred times, 
and his days be prolonged, yet furely I know that c it 
lhall be we41 with them that fear God, which, fear be- 
fore him. 

13 But it fhall not be well with the wicked, neither 
fhall he prolong his days, -which' are as a lhadow : be- 
caufe he feareth not before Go;',, 

14 There is a vanity which is done upon the earth, 
that '-there be juft men, unto whom it d happeneth ac- 
cording to the work of the wicked : again, there be 
wicked men, to whom it happeneth according to the 
work of the righteous. I faid, that this alfo is vanity. 

15 If e Then I commended mirth, becaufe a man 
hath no better thing under the fun, than to eat, and to 
drink., and to be merry ; for that fhall abide with him 
of his labour the days of his life, which God giveth 
him under the fun. 

16 ff When I applied mine heart to know wifdom, 
and to fee the bufinefs that is done upon the earth ; (for 
alfo there is that neither day nor night feeth fleep with 
his eyes ;) 

17 Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man 
cannot find out the work that is done under the fun :' 
becaufe though a man labour to feek it out, yet he 
fhall not find it : yea, farther, though a wife man think 
to know it, yet lhall he not be able to find it. 

C H A P. IX. 
1 Like things hap ben to good and bad men. 4 With the 
living there is hope, £s?c. 7 Cheerfulness enjoined, 
and to act with vigour. 11 Human probabilities not 
always justified by the event. 13 Wisdom is better 
than strength. 

FOR all this f I confidered in my heart, even to de- 
clare all this, that the righteous and the wife, and 
their works, are in the, hand of God: no man knoweth 
either love or hatred by all that is before them. 

2 a All things come alike to all : there is one event to 
the righteous, and to the wicked ; to the good, and to 
the clean, and to the unclean ; to him that facrificeth, 
and to him that facrificeth not ; as is the good, Hois the 
finner; and he that fweareth, as be that feareth an oath. 

3 This is an evil among all things that are done 
under the fun, that there wone event unto all : yea, 
alfo, the heart of the fons of men is full of evil, and 
madnefs is in their heart while they live, and after 
that they go to the dead. 

4 If For to him that is joined to all the living there 
is hope : for a living dog is better than a dead lion. 

5 For the living know that they fhall die : but the 
dead know not any thing, neither have they any more 
a reward ; for the memory of them is forgotten. 

6 Alfo their love, and their hatred, and their envy, 
is now perifhed ; neither have they any more a portion 
for ever in any thing that is done under the fun. 

7 If Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink 
thy wine with a merry heart ; for God now accepteth 
thy works. 

8 Let thy garments be always white ; and let thy 
head lack no ointment. 

9 t Live joyfully with the wife whom thou love ft 
all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath 
given thee under the fun, all the days of thy vanity : 
b for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour 
which thou takefl under the fun. 

10 Whatfoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy 
might ; for there is no work, nor device, nor know- 
ledge,

ledge, nor wifdom, in the grave, whither thou goeft. 

11 HI returned, and few under the fun, that the 
race is not to the fwift, nor the battle to the ftrong, 
neither yet bread to the wife, nor yet riches to men 
of underftanding, nor yet favour to men of f kill ; but 
time and || chance happeneth to them all. 

12 For man alio knoweth not Ins time : as the fifties 
that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are 
caught in the fnare ; ib are the fons of men c fnared in 
an evil time, when it falleth fuddenly upon them. 

13 II This wifdom have I feen alio under the fun, 
and it seemed great unto me : 

14 There was a little city, and few men within it ; 
and there came a great king a'gairift it, and befieged it', 
and built great bulwarks againfl it : 

15 Now there was found in it a poor wife man, and 
he by his wifdom delivered the city ; yet no man re- 
membered that fame poor man. 

■ 16 d Then laid I, Wifdom is better than ftrength ; 
neverthelefs, the poor man's wifdom is defpifed, and 
his words are not heard. 

17 The words of wife men are heard in quiet more 
than the cry of him that ruleth among fools. 

18 Wifdom is better than weapons of war : but one 
finner deftroyeth much good.

1 Observations on wisdom and folly, 16 on the defects 
and virtues of governors, 18 onslothfulness, 19 on mo- 
ney. 20 Men's thoughts of kings ought to be reverent. 
tTT\EAB flies caufe the ointment of the apothecary 
1~J _ to fend forth a ftinking favour : ' so doth a little 
folly him that is in reputation for wifdom and 'honour. 

2 A wife man's heart is at his right hand ; but a 
fool's heart at his left. 

3 Yea alio, when he that is a fool walketh by the 
way f his wifdom iaileth him, and he faith to every 
one, that he is a fool. 

4 If the fpirit of the ruler rife up againfl thee, leave 
not thy place ; for yielding pacifieth great offences. 

5 There is an evil which 1 have feen under the fun, 
as an error which proceedeth f from the ruler ; 

6 Folly is let t in great dignity, and the rich fit in 
low place. 

7 I have feen fervants a upon horfes, and princes 
walking as fervants upon the earth. 

8 b He that cliggetha pit fliali fall into it ; and whofo 
breaketh an hedge a ferpent lhall bite him. 

9 Whofo removeth ftones fhall be hurt therewith ; 
and he that cieaveth wood fhall be endangered thereby. 

10 If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, 
then muft he put to more ftrength : but wifdom is 
profitable to direct. 

11 Surely the ferpent will bite without enchant- 
ment ; and f a babbler is no better. 

_ 12. c The words of a wife man's mouth are f gra- 
cious : but the lips of a fool will fwailow up himfelf. 

13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is 
foolifhnefs ; and the end of f his talk is mifchievous 
madnefs. 

14 d A fool alfo t is full of words : a man cannot tell 
what fnall be ; and e what fhall be after him who can 
tell him ? 

15 The labour of the foolifh wearieth every one of 
them, becaufe he knoweth not how to go to the city.

REMEMBER a now thy Creator in the days of 
thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor 
the years draw nigh, when thou (halt, fay, I have no 
pleafure in them : 

2 While the fun, or the light, or themoon, or the ftars, 
be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain : 

3 In the day when the keepers of the houfe fhall 
tremble, and the ftrong men lhall bow themfelves,

2 I will rife now, and go about the city ; in the

let us lodge in the villages : 

12 Let us get up early to the vineyards ; let us fee 

if the vine flourifh, whether the tender grape f appear, faeb.epeni

H that thou wert as my brother, that fucked the 
breafts of my mother ! when I fhould find thee 
without I would kifs thee ; yea, f I fhould not be de-

2 I would lead thee , and bring thee into my mother's 
houfe, who would inftrucl me : I would caufe thee to 
drink of a fpiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate. 

3 b His left hand should be under my head, and his 
right hand fhould embrace me. 

4 c I charge you, O daughters of Jerufalem, f that 
ye fur not up, nor awake my love until he pleafe. 

5 C d Who is this that cometh up from the wildernefs 
leaning upon her beloved ?) I railed thee up under the 
apple tree : there thy mother brought thee forth ; there 
fhe brought thee forth that bare thee. 

6 IF Set me as a feal upon thine heart, as a feal upon 
thine arm : for love is ftrong as death ; jealoufy is 
f cruel as the grave : the coals thereof are coals of fire, 
which hath a moft vehement flame. 

7 Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the 
floods drown it : if a man would give all the fubitance 
of his houfe for love, it would utterly be contemned. 

8 IT We have a little fitter, and fhe hath no breafts :

1 Isaiah complaineth of Judah'' s rebellion ; 5 their total 
corruption and desolation: 10 he upbraideth their 
whole religions service : 16 he exhorteth to repent- 
ance, enforcedly promises and threatenings : 21 he 
bewaileth their ivickedness, and denounceth God's- 
judgments, mixed with promises of mercy. 28 The 
wicked's destruction. 

THE viiion of Ifaiah the fon of Amoz, which he 
fayv concerning Judah and Jerulalem in the days 
of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of 
Judah. 

2 IT a Hear, O heavens ; and give ear, O earth ; for 
the Lord hath fpoken : I have nourifhed and brought 
up children, and they have rebelled againft me. 

3 b The ox knoweth his owner, and the afs his maf- 
ter's crib : but Ifrael doth not know, my people doth 
not confider. 

4 Ah, finful nation, a people f laden with iniquity, 
a feed of evil doers, children that are corrupters ! they 
have forfaken the Lord, they have provoked the holy 
one of Ifrael unto anger, they are f gone away back- 
ward. 

5 II Why fliould ye be ftricken any more ? ye will 
f revolt more and more : the whole head is fick, and 
the whole heart faint. 

6 From the fole of the foot even unto the head there 
is no foundnefs in it ; but wounds, and bruifes,_ and 
putrifying fores : they have not been clofed, neither 
bound up, neither mollified with j| ointment. 

7 c Your country is defolate, your cities are burnt 
with fire : your land, ftrangers devour it in your pref- 
ence, and it is defolate, f as overthrown by ftrangers. 

8 And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in 
a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a 
befieged city. 

9 d Except the Lord of holts had left unto us a very 
fmall remnant, we lhould have been as e Sodom, and 
we lhould have been like unto Gomorrah. 

10 II Hear the word of the Lord, ye rulers of 
Sodom ; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people 
of Gomorrah : 

1 1 To what purpofe is the multitude of your f fac- 
rifices unto me ? faith the Lord : I am full of the 
burnt offerings of rams, and the fat of fed beafts ; and 
I delight not in the blood of bullocks, or of lambs, or 
of t he goats. 

12 When ye come f to appear before me, who hath 
required this at your hand, to tread my courts ? 

13 Bring no more vain oblations : incenfe is an 
abomination unto me ; the new moons and fabbaths, 
the calling of affemblies, I cannot away with ; it is 
|| iniquity, even the foiemn meeting. 

14 Your new moons, and your appointed feafts, my 
foul hateth : they are a trouble unto me ; I am weary 
to bear them. 

15 g And when ye fpread forth your hands, I will hide 
mine eyes from you ; yea, when ye f make many pray- 
ers, 1 will not hear : your hands are full of h f blood. 

16 1 Wafh you, make you clean ; put away the evil 
' of your doings from before mine eyes : * ceafe to do evil; 

17 Learn to do well : feek judgment, || relieve the 
oppveffed, judge the fatherlefs, pler-id for the widow. 

18 Come now, and let us reafon together, faith the 



Lord : Though your fins be as fcarlet, they fhall be 
as white as lhow ; though they be red like crimfon, 
they fhall be as wool. 

19 If ye be willing and obedient, ye fhall eat the 
good of the land : 

20 But if ye refufe and rebel, ye fhall be devoured 
with the fword : for the mouth of the Lord hath 
fpoken it. 

21 HHow is the faithful city become an harlot ! it 
was full of judgment : righteoufnefs lodged in it ; but 
now murderers ! 

22 Thy filver is become drofs, thy wine mixed with 
water : 

23 Thy princes are rebellious, and companions of 
thieves : every one loveth gifts, and folio weth after 
rewards: they k judge not the fatherlefs, neither cloth 
the caufe of the widow come unto them. 

24 Therefore, faith the Lord, the Lord of hofts, 
the mighty One of Ifrael, Ah, I will eafe me of mine 
adverfaries, and avenge me of mine enemies. 

25 And I will turn my hand upon thee, and | purely 
purge away thy drofs, and take away all thy tin. 

26 And I will reftore thy judges as at the firft, and 
thy counfellors as at the beginning : afterward thou 
fhalt be called, The city of righteoufnefs, The faithful 
city. 

27 Zion fhall be redeemed with judgment, and || her 
converts with righteoufnefs. 

28 II And the ' f deftruclion of the tranfgreffbrs and 
of the fmners shall be together, and they that forfake 
the Lord fhall be confumed. 

29 For they fhall be aihamed of the oaks which ye 
have defired, and ye fhall be confounded for the gar- 
dens that ye have chofen. 

30 For ye fhall be as an oak whofe leaf fadeth, and 
as a garden that hath no water. 

31 And the ftrong fhall be as tow, || and the maker 
of it as a fpark, and they ihall both burn together, and 
none Ifiall quench them.

9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great

19 And they fhall go into the c holes of the rocks,

17 Therefore the Lord will finite with a fcab the

OW will I fmg to my well beloved a fong of my 
beloved touching a his vineyard. My well be- 
loved hath a vineyard in t a very fruitful hill : 

2 And he [| fenced it, and gathered out the ftones 
thereof, and planted it with the choice!! vine, and built 
a tower in the midft of it, and alfo f made a Avi.nepr.efs 
therein : and he looked that it ihould bring forth 
grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes. 

3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerufalem, and men 
of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vine- 
yard. 

4 What could have been done more to my vine- 
yard, that I have not done in it ? wherefore, when I 
looked that it Ihould bring forth grapes, brought it 
forth wild grapes ? 

5 And now, go to ; I will tell you what I will do to 
my vineyard : I will take away the hedge thereof, and 
it fhall be eaten up ; and break down the wall thereof, 
and it fhall be t trodden down. 

6 And I will lay it wafte : it fhall not be pruned nor 
digged ; but there fhall come up briers and thorns : 
I will alfo command the clouds that they rain no rain 
upon it. 

7 For the. vineyard of the Lord of holts is the houfe 
of Ifrael, and the men of Judah f his pleafant plant : 
and he looked for judgment, but behold f opprefhon ; 

' for righteoufnefs, but behold a cry. 

8 H Woe unto them that join b houfe to houfe, that 
lay field to field, till there be no place, that \ they may 
be placed alone in the midft of the earth ! 

9 |j In mine ears, said the Lord of hofts, f Of a 
truth many houfes fhali be defoiate, even great and 
fair, without inhabitant. 

10 Yea, ten acres of vineyard fhall yield one bath, 
and the feed of an homer fhall yield an ephah. 

1 1 II c Woe unto them that rife up early in the morn- 
ing, that the}- may follow itrong drink ; that continue 
until night till wine || inflame them ! 

12 And the harp and the viol, the tabret and pipe, 
and wine, are in their feafts : but they regard not the 
work of the Lord, neither confider the operation of 
his hands. 



becaufe they have no knowledge ; and f their honour- 
able men are famifhed, and their multitude dried up 
with thirft. 

14 Therefore hell hath enlarged herfelf, and opened 
her mouth without meafure : and their glory, and their 
multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, mall 
defeend into it, 

15 And d the mean man fhali be brought down, and 
the mighty man lhall be humbled, and the eyes of the 
lofty lhall be humbled : 

16 But the Lord of hofts fhall be exalted in judg- 
ment, and || t God that is holy fhall be fanclified in 
righteoufnefs. 

17 Then lhall the lambs feed after their manner, and 
the wafte places of the fat ones fhall itrangers eat. 

18 II Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords 
of vanity, and I'm as it were with a cart rope : 

19 That fay, Let him make fpeed, and haften his 
work, that we may fee it ; and let the counfel of the 
holy One of Ifrael draw nigh and come, that we may 
know it ! 

20 If Woe. unto them t that call evil good, and good

nefs ; that put bitter for fweet, and fweetfor bitter ! 

21 Woe unto them that are e wife in their own eyes, 
and prudent t in their own light .! 

22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, 
and men of ftrength to mingle ftrong drink ; 

23 Which f juftify the wicked for reward, and take 
away the righteoufnefs of the righteous from him ! 

24 Therefore as t the fire devoureth the flu bble, and

rottennefs, and their bloffom lhall go up as duft. Be r 
caufe they have caft away the law of the Lord of hofts, 
and defpifed the word of the holy One of Ifrael. 

25 Therefore is the anger of the Lord kindled 
againft his people, and he hath ftretched forth his 
hand againft them, and hath fmitten them : and the 
hills did tremble, and their carcaffes voere || torn in the 
midft of the ftreets. ? For all this his anger is not 
turned away, but his hand is ftretched out ftill. 

26 *ff And he. will lift up an enlign to the nations 
from far, and will hifs unto them from the end of the 
earth : and, behold, they fhall come with fpeed fwiftly. 

27 None fhall be weary nor {tumble among them ; 
none fhali flumber nor fieep ; neither fhall the girdle 
of their loins be loofed, nor the latchet of their ihoes 
be broken : 

28 Whofe arrows are fliarp, and all their bows bent ; 
their horfes' hoofs fhall be counted like flint, and 
their wheels like a whirlwind : 

29 Their roaring shall be like a lion ; they fhall 
roar hke young lions ; yea, they final! roar and lay hold 
of the prey, and lhall carry it away fafe, and none lhall 
deliver it. 

30 And in that day they fnall roar againft them, 
like the roaring of the fea ; and if one look unto the 
land, behold darknefs and \\ forrow, || and the light is 
darkened in the heavens thereof.

1 Ahaz, being troubled 'with fear of Rezin and Pekah, 
is comforted by Isaiah. 10 Ahaz having liberty to 
choose a sign, and refusing it, Christ is promised for 
a sign. 17 God' 's judgments prophesied to come upon 
Judah by Assyria. 

AND it came to pafs in the days of a Ahaz the fon 
of Jotham, the fon of Uzziah king of Judah, 
that Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the {'on of 
Remaliah, king of Ifrael, went up toward Jerufalem 
to war againft it, but could not prevail againft it. 
_ 2 And it was told the houfe of David, faying, Sy- 
ria t is confederate with Ephraim : and his heart was 
moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the 
wood are moved with the wind. 

Then faid the Lord unto Ifaiah, Go forth now

way of the fuller's field ; 

4 And lay unto him,, Take heed, and be quiet;

1 God threateneth to destroy the Ethiopians : 7 an ac- 
cess will from thence be made to the church. 
WOE to the land fhadowing with wings, which 
is beyond the rivers of Ethiopia : 

2 That fendeth ambaffadors by the fea, even in 
veffels of bulruihes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye 
fwift meffengers, to a nation || fcattered and peeled, to 
a people terrible from their beginning hitherto : || f a 
nation meted out and trodden down, || . whofe land the 

S'£ST*rivers have fpoiled I 

3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on 
the earth, fee ye, when he lifteth up an enfjgn on the 
mountains ; and- when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye. 

4 For fo the Lord faid unto me, I will take my 
reft, and I will ||- coniider in my dwelling place like 
a clear heat || upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in 
the heat of harveft. 

5 For afore the harveft, when the bud is perfect, 
and the four grape is ripening in the flower, he fhall 
both cut off the fprigs with pruning hooks, and take 
away and cut down the branches. 

6 They fhall be left together unto the fowls of the 
mountains, and to the beafts of the earth : and the 
fowls fhall fummer upon them, and all the beafts of 
the earth fhall winter upon them. 

7 ff In that time fhall the prefent be brought unto 
the Lord of hofts of a people || fcattered and peeled, 
and from a people terrible from their beginning hith- 
erto ; a nation meted out and trodden under foot, 
whofe land the rivers have fpoiled, to the place of the 
name of the Lord of hofts, the mount Zion.

23 and God's blessing upon her in union with Israel 
and Assyria-. 

THE burden of Egypt. Behold, the Lord rideth 
upon a fwift cloud, and fhall come into Egypt ; 
and the idols of Egypt fhall be moved at his pretence, 
and the heart of Egypt fhall melt in the midft of it. 
t h*. mintii- 2 And I will f fet the Egyptians againft the Egyp- 
tians : and they Ihall fight every one againft his bro- 
ther, and every one againft his neighbour ;. city againft 
city, a net kingdom againft kingdom,- 

3 And the fpirit of Egypt t fhall fail in the midft 
thereof: and I will f deftroy the counfel thereof: and 

"■ they fhall feek to the idols, and to the charmers, and 
to them that have familiar fpirits, and to the wizards. 

4 And the Egyptians will i || give over into the hand 
of a cruel lord : and a fierce king ihall rule over them, 
faith the Lord, the Lord of hofts. 

5- And the waters fhall fail from the fea, and the 
river lhall be Wailed and dried up ; 

6 And they fhall turn the rivers far away, and the 
brooks of defence fhall be emptied and dried up ; the 
reeds and flags ihall wither. 

7 The paper* reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of 
the brooks, und every thing fown by the brooks, lh.ui 
wither, be driven away, t and be no more.

angle into the brooks fhall lament, and they that fpread 
nets upon the waters fhall languifh. 

9 Moreover, they that work in fine flax, and they 
that weave || net works, fhall be confounded. 

10 And they fhall be broken in the f purpofes there- 
of, all that make fluices and ponds f for filh. 

11 H Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the coun- 
fel of the wife counfellors of Pharaoh is become brut- 
ilh : how fay ye unto Pharaoh, I am the fon of the 
wife, the fon of ancient kings ? 

12 Where are they ? where are thy wife men ? ana 
let them tell thee now, and let them know what the 
Lord of hofts hath purpofed upon Egypt. 

13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the 
princes of Noph are deceived ; they have alfo feduced 
Egypt, even || f they that are the ftay of the tribes 
thereof. 

14 The Lord hath mingled f a perverfe fpirit in 
the midft thereof; and they have caufed Egypt to err 
in every work thereof, as a drunken man ftaggereth in 
his vomit. 

15 Neither fhall there be any work for Egypt, which 
the head or tail, branch or rulh, may do, 

16 In that day fhall Egypt be like unto women : and 
it fhall be afraid and fear, becaufe of the lhaking of the 
hand of the Lord of hofts, which he fhaketh over it. 

17 And the land of Judah ihall be a terror unto 
Egypt ; every one that maketh mention thereof fhall 
be afraid in himfelf ; becaufe of the counfel of the 
Lord of hofts, which he hath determined againft it. 

18 Tf In that day fhall five cities in the land of Egypt 
fpeak f the language of Canaan, and fwear to the Lord 
of hofts : one fhall be called The city || of deftruclion. 

19 In that day fhall there be an altar to the Lord 
in the midft of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the 
border thereof to the Lord. 

20 And it fhall be for a fign and for a wimefs unto^ 
the Lord of hofts in the land of Egypt : for they fhall 
cry unto the Lord becaufe of the oppreffors, and he 
ihall fend them a faviour, and a great one, and he fhall 
deliver them. 

21 And the Lord fhall be known to Egypt, and 
the Egyptians fhall know the Lord in that day, and- 
fhall do facrifice and oblation ; yea, they fhall vow a- 
vow unto the Lord, and perform it. 

22 And the Lord ihail finite Egypt : he fhall fmite 
and heal it: and they ihall return even to the Lord, 
and he fhall be entreated of them, and fhall heal them. 

23 If In that day fhall there be an highway out of 
Egypt to Affyria ; and the Affyrian fhall come into 
Egypt, and the Egyptian into Affyria ; and the Egyp- 
tians fhall ferve with the Aifyrians. 

24 In that day fhall Ifrael be the third with Egypt and 
with Afiyria, even a blefling in the midft of the land ; 

25 Whom the Lord- of hofts fhall blefs, faying, 
Blefted be Egypt my people, and Aifyria the work of 
my hands, and Ifrael mine inheritance.

set time of Arabia's calamity. 

THE burden of the defert of the fea 
winds in the fouth pais through 
from the defert, from a terrible land. 

2 A f grievous vifion is declared unto me : The 
treacherous dealer deaieth treacherouily,and the fpojler 
fpoileth. Go up, O Elam ; befiege, O Media : all 
the fighing thereof have I made to eeafe, 

3 Therefore are my loins filled with pain : pangs 
have taken hold upon me, as the pangs of a woman 
that travaileth : I was bowed down at the hearing of 
it; I was difmayed .at the feeing of it.

5 Prepare the table, watch in die watch tower, eat,

6 For thus hath the Lord faid unto me, Go, fet a 
watchman : let him declare what he feeth, 

7 And he Jaw a chariot with a couple of horfemen, 
a chariot of alfes, and a chariot of camels ; and he 
hearkened diligently with much heed. 

8 And || he cried, A lion : My lord, I (land contin-

5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, 
and of perplexity by the Lord God of hofts in the 
valley of virion, breaking down the walls, and of cry- 
ing to the mountains. 

6* And Elam bare the quiver with chariots of men 
and horfemen, and Kir j uncovered the fhield. 

7 And it fhall come to pals, that f thy choiceft vai-

waters of the lower pool. 

10 And ye have numbered the houfes cf Jerufalem, 
and the houfes have ye broken down to fortify the wall. 

11 Ye made alfo a ditch between the two walls for 
the water of the old pool : but ye have not looked 
unto the maker thereof, neither had refpeel unto him 
that fafhioned it long ago. 

12 And in that day did the Lord God of hofts call 
to weeping, and to mourning, and to baidnefs, and to 
girding with fackcioth : . 

13 And behold, joy and gladnefs, flaying oxen, and 
killing fheep, eating flefh, and drinking wine : b let us

21 And I will clothe him with thy robe, and ftrengfh-

ment into his hand ; and he fhall be a father to the in-

22 And the key of the houfe of David will I lay

25 In that day, faith the Lord of hofts, fhall the

OLORD, thou art my God ; I will exalt thee, I will 
praife thy name ; "for thou haft done wonderful 
things : thy counfels of old are faithfulnefs and truth. 

2 For thou haft made of a city, an heap ; of a de- 
fenced city a ruin ; a palace .of ftrangers to be no city : 
it fhall never be built. 

3 Therefore fhall the ftrong. people glorify thee, the 
city of the terrible nations ihali fear thee. 

4 For thou haft been a ftrength to the poor, a 
ftrength to the needy in his diftrefs, a refuge from 
the ftorm, afhadow from the heat, when the blaft of 
the terrible ones is as a ftorm against the wall. 

5 Thou (halt bring down the noife of ftrangers as 
the heat in a dry place ; even the heat with the fhadow 
of a cloud ; the branch of the terrible ones ihall be 
brought low. 

6 II And in this mountain fhall the Lord of hofts 
make unto all people a feaft of fat things, a feaft of

this is the Lord ; we have waited for him, Ave will

11 And he fhall fpread forth his hands in the midft 
of them, as he that fwimmeth fpreadeth forth his hands 
to fwim ; and he fhall bring down their pride together 
with the fpoils of their hands. 

12 And the ibrtrefs of the high fort of thy walls 



fhall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, 
even to the duft.

An exhortation to wait God's judgment. 
N that day fhall this fong be fung in the land of 
Judah, We have a ftrong city:; falvation will God 
appoint for walls and bulwarks. 

2 Open ye the gates, that the righteous nation 
which keepeth the f truth may enter in. 

3 _ Thou wilt keep him in f perfeel peace, vj'bose 
|| mind is flayed on thee ; beeaufe he trufteth in thee. 

4 Truft ye in the Lord for ever : for in the Lord 
JEHOVAH is f everlafting ftrength. 

5 If For he bringeth down them that dwell on high : 
the lofty city he layeth it low ; he la5'eth it low, even 
to the ground ; he bringeth it even to the duft. 

6 The foot Ihall tread it down, even the feet of the 
poor, and the fteps of the needy. 

7 The way of the juft is uprightnefs : thou, moft 
upright, doft weigh the path of the juft. 

8 Yea, in the way of thy judgments, O Lord, have 
we waited for thee ; the delire of our foul is to thy 
name, and to the remembrance of thee. 

9 With my foul have I deiired thee in the night ; 
yea, with my fpirit within me will I feek thee early : 
for when thy judgments are in the earth, the inhabit- 
ants of the world will learn righteoufnefs. 

10 Let favour be (hewed to the wicked, yet will he 
not learn righteoufnefs : in the land of uprightnefs 
will he deal unjuftly, and will not behold the majefty 
of the Lord. 

11 Lord, when thy hand is lifted up, they will not 
fee : but they fhall fee, and be afhamed for their envy 
|| at the people ; yea, the fire of thine enemies* fhaii 
devour them. 

12 ^TLord, thou wilt ordain peace for us: for 
thou alio haft wrought all our works || in us. 

13 O Lord our God, other lords befide thee have Jorus ' 
had dominion over us ; but by thee only will we make 
mention of thy name. 

14 They are dead, they fhall not live ; they are de- 
ceafed, they fhall not rife : therefore haft thou vifit- 
ed and deftroyed them, and made all their memory 
to perifh. 

15 Thou haft increafed the nation, O Lord, thou 
haft increafed the nation, : thou art glorified ; thou 
hadft removed it far unto all the ends of the earth. 

1 6 L o r d , in trouble have they vifited thee ; they pour- 
ed out a f prayer vjhen thy chaftening was upon them. 

17 Like as a woman with child, that draweth near 
the time of her delivery, is in pain, and crieth out in 
her pangs ; fo have we been in thy fight, O Lord. 

18 We have been with child, we have been in pain, 
we have as it were brought forth wind ; we have not 
wrought any deliverance in the earth, neither have 
the inhabitants of the world fallen. 

19 Thy dead men (hall live, together with my dead 
body mall they arife. Awake and fmg, ye that dwell 
in duft : for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the

1 God's care over his vineyard: 7 his chastisements arc 

in measure. 12 The restoration of the dispersed. 

IN that day the Lord, with his fore, and great, and 
flrong fword, fhall punifli leviathan the II piercing 
ferpent, even leviathan that crooked ferpent ; and he 
fhall fiay the dragon that is in the fea. 

2 In that day fmg ye unto her, A vineyard of red 
wine. 

3 I the Lord do keep it ; I will water it every mo- 
ment : left any hurt it, I will keep it night and day. 

4 Fury is not in me : who^ would fet the briers and 
thorns againft me in battle ) I would || go through 
them, I would burn them together. 

5 Or let him take hold of my ftrength, that he may 
make peace with me, andhefhall make peace with me. 

6 He fhall caufe them that come of Jacob to take 
root : Ifrael fhall bloffom and bud, and fill the face of 
the world with fruit, 

***• -<g 7 If Hath he fmitten him, t as he fmote thofe that 
itrekeSj tlese. fmote him ? or is he llain according to the {laughter of 
them that are llain by him ? 

8 In meafure, || when it fhooteth forth, thou wilt 
debate with it ; || he ftayeth his rough wind in the day 
of the caft wind. 

9 By this, therefore, fhall the iniquity of Jacob be 
purged ; and this is all the fruit to take away his fin ; 
when he maketh all the ftones of the altar as chalk- 
flones that are beaten in funder, the groves and || im- 
ages (hall not Hand up. 

10 If Yet the defenced city shall be defolate, and the 
habitation forfaken, and left like a wildernefs ; there 
fhall the calf feed, and there fhall he lie down, and 
cor.fume the branches thereof. 

11 When the boughs thereof are withered, they 
fhall be broken off; the women come, and fet them 
on fire ; for it is a people of no underftanding : there- 
fore he that made them will not have mercy on them, 
and he that formed them will fhew them no favour. 

12 If And it fhall come to pafs in that day, that the 
Lor d fhall beat off from the channel of the river unto 
the ftream of Egypt, and ye fhall be gathered one by 
one, O ye children of Ifrael. 

13 And it fhall come to pafs in that day, that the 
great trumpet fhall be blown, and they fhall come 
which were ready to perifh in the land of Affyria, and 
the outcafls in the land of Egypt, and fhall worfhip 
the Lord in the holv mount at Jerufalem.

to the gate. 

7 If But they alfo have erred through wine, and 
through flrong drink are out of die way : the prieft 
and the prophet have erred through flrong drink, they 
are fwallowed up of wine, they are out of the way 
through flrong drink : they err in vifion, they Humble 
in judgment. 

8 For all tables are full of vomit and filthinefs, so 
that there is no place clean. 

9 ^T Whom fhall he teach knowledge ? and whom 
fhall he make to underfland f doclrine ? them that are

11 For with t a Hammering lips, and another tongue, 
|| will he fpeak to this people. 

12 To whom he faid, This is the reft wherewith ye 
may caufe the weary to reft ; and this is the refrefhing ; 
yet they would not hear. 

13 But the word of the Lord was unto them pre- 
cept upon precept, precept upon precept ; line upon 
line, line upon line ; here a little, and there a little : 
that they might go and fall backward, and be broken, 
and fnared, and taken. 

14 If W r herefore hear the word of the Lord, ye 
fcornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerufa- 
lem : 

15 Be caufe ye have faid, We have made a covenant 
with death, and with hell are we at agreement ; when 
the overflowing fcourge fhall pafs through, it fhall not 
come unto us : for we have made lies our refuge, and 
under falfehood have we hid ourfelves. 

16 If Therefore, thus faith the Lord God, Behold, 

I lay in Zion for a foundation, b a flone, atriedflone, °P"im 
a precious corner stone, a fure foundation : he that tafrikanj* 
belie veth fhall not make hafte. wY^, 

17 TT Judgment alfo will I lay to the line, and right- 
eoulhefs to the plummet; and the hail fhall fweep away 
die refuge of lies, and the waters fhall overflow the 
hiding place. 

18 And your covenant with death fhall be difan- 
nulled, and your agreement with hell fhall not fland : 
when the overflowing fcourge fhall pafs through, then 
ye fhall be f trodden down by it. 

19 ,From the time that it goeth "forth it fhall take 
you : for morning by morning fhall it pafs over, by 
clay and by night ; and it fhall be a vexation only || to 
underfiand the report.

4 And all the holt of heaven ihall be diffolved, and

all their hoft fhall fall down, as the leaf falleth off from

5 For my fword (hall be bathed in heaven ; be-

6 The fword of the Lord is filled with blood ; it 
is made fat with fatnefs, and with the blood of lambs

the Lord hath a facrifice in Bozrah, and a great

8 For it is the day of the Lord's c vengeance, and

9 And the dreams thereof fhall be turned into

13 And thorns fhall come up in her palaces, nettles

14 f The wild beafts of the defert ihall alfo meet 
with t the wild beafts of the ifland, and the fatyr fhall 
cry to his fellow ; the || fcreechowl alfo fhall reft there, 
and find for herfelf a place of reft. 

15 There ihall the great owl make her neft, and lay, 
and hatch, and gather under her ihadow : there ihall 
the vultures alfo be gathered, every one with her mate. 

16 IF Seek ye out of the book of the Lord, and

7 And the parched ground fhall become a pool,

8 And an highway fhall be there, and a way, and 
it fhall be called, The way of holinefs ; the unclean 
ihall not pafs over it ; || but it shall be for thofe : the 
wayfaring men, though fools, ihall not err therein. 

9 No lion ihall be there, nor any ravenous beaft 
fhall go up thereon, it fhall not be found there ; but

came up againft all the defenced cities of Judah, and 
took them. 

2 II And the king of Affyria lent Rabfhakeh from 
Lachifli to Jerufalem, unto king Hezekiah, with a 
great army : and he flood by the conduit of the upper 
pool, in the highway of the fuller's field. 

3 Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hilkiab's 
fon, which was over the houfe, and Shebna the 
|| fcribe, and Joah, Afaph's fon, the recorder. 

4 And Rabfhakeh faid unto them. Say ye now to 
Hezekiah, Thus faith the great king, the king of Af- 
lyria, What confidence is this wherein thou trufteft ? 

5 I fay, say est thou, (but they are but f vain words,) 
I! I have counfel and ftrength for war : now, on whom 
doll thou trufi, that thou rebelleft againft me ? 

6 Lo, thou trufteft in the h flaff of this broken reed, 
on Egypt ; whereon if a man lean, it will go into his 
hand, and pierce it : fo is Pharaoh king of Egypt to 
all that trufi in him. 

7 But if thou fay to me, We trufi in the Lor d our 
God : is it not he whofe high places and whole altars 
Hezekiah hath taken away, and faid to Judah and to 
Jerufalem, Ye fhall worfhip before this altar ? 

8 Now, therefore, give || pledges, I pray thee, to 
my mailer the king of Affyria, and I will give thee 
two thoufand horfes, if thou be able on thy part to 
fet riders upon them. 

9 How then wilt thou turn away the face of one 
captain of the leaft of my matter's fervants, and put 
thy trufi on Egypt for chariots and for horfemen ? 

10 And am I now come up without the Lord 
againft this land to deftroy it ? The Lord faid unto 
me, Go up againft this land, and deftroy it. 

11 II Then faid Eliakim, and Shebna, and Joah, 
unto Rabfhakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto thy fer- 
vants in the Syrian language ; for we underftand it ; 
and fpeak not to us in the Jews' language, in the ears 
of the people thatrtr<? on the wall. 

12 II But Rabfhakeh faid, Hath my mafterfent me 
to thy mailer and to thee, to fpeak thefe Words ? 
hath he not sent me to the men that fit upon the wall, 
that they may eat their own dung and drink their 
own pifs with you I 

13 1 Then Rabfhakeh flood, ahd cried with a loud 
voice in the Jews' language, and faid, Hear ye the 
worels of the great king, the king of Aflyria. 

14 Thus faith the king, Let not Hezekiah deceive 
you ; for he fhall not be able to deliver you. 

15 Neither letHezekiah make you trufi in the Lord, 
faying, The Lord will furely deliver us : this city fhall 
not be delivered into the hand of the king of Affyria. 

16 Hearken not to Hezekiah, for thus faith the 
king of Affyria, || f Make an agreement With me by a 
prefent, and come out to rne : and eat ye every one of 
his vine s and every one of his fig tree, and drink ye 
every one the waters of his own ciftern ; 

17 Until I come and take you away to a land like 
your own land, a land of corn and wine, a land of 
bread and vineyards. 

13 Beware left Hezekiah perfuade you, faying, The 
Lord will deliver us. Hath any of the gods of the 
nations delivered his land out of the hand of the king 
of Affyria ? .

2 1 But they held their peace, ancl anlWered him 
not a word : for the king's commandment was, faying, 
Anfwer him not. 

2-2 "If Then came Eliakim thefon of Hilkiah,thattutf$ 
over the houfehold, and Shebna the fcribe, and Joah, 
thefon of Afaph the recorder, to Hezekiah, with their 
clothes lent, and told him the words of Rabfhakeh. 

C H A P. XXXVII. 

1 Hezekiah deeply afflicted, scudeth to desire Isaialfs 
prayers. 6 Isaiah returneth a comfortable answer. 
8 Sennacherib being called to oppose Tirhakah, send- 
eth a blasphemous letter to Hezekiah. 14 Hczeluali's 
prayer. 21 Isaiah'' s prophecy of Sennacherib'' s over- 
th'rciv, and Zion's prosperity . 36 An angel destroy - 
eth the Assyrians^ 37 The death of Senna chemb. 

AND a it came to pafs, when king Hezekiah heard 
it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himfelf 
with fack cloth, and went into the houfe of the Lord. 

2 And he fent Eliakim, who was over the houfehold, 
and Shebna the fcribe, and the elders of the priefts, 
covered with fackcloth, unto Ifaiah the prophet, the 
fon of Amoz. 

3 Ancl they faid tmto him, Thus faith Hezekiah, 
This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of 
|| blafphemy : for the children are come to the birth, 
and there is not ftrength to bring forth. 

4 It may be the Lord thy God will hear the words 
of Rabfhakeh, whom the kingof Affyria his mailer hath 
fent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the 
words which the Lord thy God hath heard ; where- 
fore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is f left. 

5 So the fervants of king Hezekiah came to Ifaiah 

6 II And Ifaiah faid unto them, Thus fhall ye fay 
unto your matter, Thus faith the Lord, Be not afraid 
of the words that thou haft heard, wherewith the fer- 
vants of the king of Affyria have blafphemed me. 

7 Behold, I will |] fend a blaft upon him, and he 
fhall hear a rumour, and return to his own land ; and 
I will caufe him to fall by the fvvord in his own land. 

8 IT So Rabfhakeh returned, and found the king of 
Affyria, warring againft Libnah : for he had heard that 
he was departed from Lachifh. 

9 And he heard fay concerning Tirhakah king of 
Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee. 
And, when he heard z>, he fent meffengers to Heze- 
kiah, faying,. 

10 Thus fhal! ye fpeak to Hezekiah king of Judah, 
faying, Let not thy God, in whom thou trufteft, de-

11 Behold, thou haft heard what the kings of Af-

15 And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, faying, 

16 O Lord of hofts, God oflfrael, that dwelleit 
between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou 
alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth ; thou hail 
made heaven and earth. 

17 Incline thine ear, O Lord, and hear ; open thine 
eyes, O Lord, and fee ; and hear all the words of Sen- 
nacherib, which hathfentto reproach the living God. 

18 Of a truth, Lord, the kings of Affyria have 
laid wafte all the \ nations, and their countries. 

19 And. have f caft their gods, into the fire ; for 
they were no gods, but the work of men's hands, wood 
and ftone ; therefore they have deftroyed them. 

20 Now, therefore,. O Lord our God, fave us from 
his hand,, that all the kingdoms of the earth may 
know that thou art the Lord, even thou only, 

21 II Then Ifaiahthe ion of Amoz fent unto Hez- 
ekiah, faying, Thus faith the Lord God of Ifrael, 
Whereas thou haft prayed to me againft Sennacherib 
king of Affyria : 

22 This is the word which the Lord hath fpoken 
concerning him,. The virgin, the daughter of Zion, 
hath deipifed thee, and laughed thee to fcorn - r the 
daughter of Jerufalem hath fhaken her head at thee. 

23 Whom hail thcu reproached and blafphemed ? 
and againft whom haft thou exalted thy voice, and 
lifted up thine eyes on high i even againft the holy 
One oflfrael.. 

24 t By thy fervants haft thou reproached the 
Lord, and haft faid, By the multitude of my chariots 
am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the 
fides of Lebanon ; and I will cut down f the tall ce- 
dars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I 
wiJl enter into the height of his border, and \\ the foreft 
of his CarmeL 

25 I have digged, and drunk water ; and with the 
fol(#ofmy feet have I dried up all the rivers of the 
|| beiieged places. 

26 || Haft thou not heard long ago how I have done 
it, and of ancient times that I have formed it ? now 
have I brought it to pafs, that thou fhouldeft be to lay 
wafte defenced cities into ruinous heaps. 

27 Therefore their inhabitants were f of fmall power, 
they were dilmayed and confounded ; they were as 
the grafs of the field,, and as the green herb, as the 
grafs on the houfe tops, and as corn blafted before it 
be grown up. 

28 But I know thy || abode, and thy going out, and 
thy coming in, and thy rage againft me. 

29 Becaufe thy rage againft me and thy tumult, 
is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my 
hook in thy nofe, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will 
turn thee back by the way by which thou earned. 

30 And this shall be a lign unto thee, Ye ihall cat 
this year fuch as groweth of itfelf ; and the fecond year 
that which fpringeth of the fame ; and in the third 
year, low ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat 
the fruit thereof. 

31 And f the remnant that is efcaped of the houfe 
of Judah ihall again take root downward, and bear 
fruit upward. 

32 For out of Jerufalem fhall go forth a remnant 
and t they that cfcape out of mount Zion ; the b zeal 
of the Lord of hofts ihall do this. 



33 Therefore thus faith the Lord concerning the 
king of Affyria, He ihall not come into this city, nor 
ihoot an arrow there, nor come before it with fhields, 
nor caft a bank againft it. 

34 By the way that he came, by the fame ihall he re- 
turn, and fhall not come into this city , faith the Lord. 

35 For I will c defend this city to fave it, for mine 
own lake, and for my fervant David's fake, 

36r "ft Then the d angel of the Lord went forth, and 
fmote in the camp of the Affyrians an hundred and 
fourfcore and five thoufand : and when, they arofe early 
in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpfes. 

37 IT So Sennacherib king of Affyria departed, and 
went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh. 

38 And it came to pafs, as he was worfhipping in 
the houfe of Nifroch his god, that Adrammelech and 
Sharezer his ions, fmote him with the fword ; and 
they efcaped into the land of f Armenia : and Efar-

Ifaiah the prophet the fon of Amoz came unto him, 
and faid unto him, Thus faith the Lord, f Set thine 
houfe in order : for thou fhalt die, and not live. 

2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, 
and prayed unto the Lord. 

3 And faid, Remember now, O Lord, I befeech 
thee, how I have walked before thee in truth, and 
with a.perfedt heart, and have done that which is good 
in thy light. And Hezekiah wept f fore.

I have feen thy tears : behold, I will add unto thy days, 
fifteen years. 

6 And I will deliver thee and this city out of the 
hand of the king of Affyria ; and I will defend this city. 

7 And this shall be a lign unto thee from the Lord, 
that the Lord will do this thing that he hath ipoken ; 

8 Behold, I will bring again the ihadow of the de- 
grees, which is gone down in the f fun dial of Ahaz,

he had been iick, and was recovered of his iicknefs ; 

10 I faid, in the cutting off of my days, I ihall go 
- to the gates of the grave ; I am deprived of the reiidue 

of my years. 

Ill faid, I fhall not fee the Lord, even the Lord, 
in the land of the living : I fhall behold man no more 
with the inhabitants of the world. 

12 Mine age is departed, and is removed from me 
as a ihepherd's tent : I have cut off like a weaver my

2 And Hezekiah was glad of them, and fhewed them 
the houfe of his || precious things, the filver, and the 
gold, and the fpices, and the precious ointment, and 
all the houfe of his || f armour, and all that was found 
in his treafures ; there was nothing in his houfe, nor in 
all his dominion, that Hezekiah lhewed them not.

from whence came they unto thee ? And Hezekiah 
laid, They are come from a far country unto me, even 
from Babylon. 

4 Then faid he, What have they feen in thine houfe ? 
And Hezekiah anfwered, All that is in mine houfe 
have they feen ; there is nothing among my treafures 
that I have not fhewed them. 

5 Then faid Ifaiah to Hezekiah, Hear the word of 
the Lord of hofts ; 

6 Behold, the days come, that all that is in thine

until this day, fhall be carried to Babylon : nothing

7 And of thy fons that fhall ifTue from thee, which 
thou fhalt beget, fhall they take away ; and they Ihall

13 TI The Lord fhall go forth as a mighty man, he

yea, roar ; he iliall || prevail againft his enemies. 

14 I have long time holden my peace ; I have been 
t h^ „ t ,,/.ftiH! eind refrained myfelf : now will I cry like a travail-

13 I will make waile mountains and hills, and dry 
up all their herbs ; and I will make the rivers iflands, 
and I will dry up the pools. 

16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they 
knew not ; I will lead them in paths thai they have 
not known : I will make darknefs light before them, 
and crooked things f ftraight. Thefe things will I do 
unto them, and not forfake them.

21 The Lord is well pleafed for his righteoufnefs'

22 But this is a people robbed and fpoiled ; || they 
are all of them fnared in holes, and they are hid in 7^'mZ 
prifon houfes : they are for a prey, and none deliver-

23 Who among you will give ear to this ? who will 
hearken and hear t for the time to come ? ]hl%er r 

24 Who gave Jacob for a fpoil, and Ifrael to the time - 
robbers ? did not the Lord, he againil whom we have 
finned ? for they would not walk in his ways,- neither 
were they obedient unto his law : 

25 Therefore he hath poured upon him the fury of 
his anger, and the ilrength of battle : and it hath fet 
him on fire round about, yet he knew not ; and it 
burned him, yet he laid it not to heart. 

CHAP. XLIII. 

1 The Lord comforteth the church voith his gracious 
promises : 8 he calleth the people to witness his om- 
nipotency : 14 he foretelleth the destruction of Baby- 
lon, 18 and his wonderful deliverance of his people : 
22 he rep rove ih their neglect of bis service. 
UT now, thus faith the Lord that created thee r 
O J icob, and he that formed thee, O Ifrael, Fear 
not : for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by 
thy name ; thou art mine. 

2 When thou paffeil through the waters, I will be with 
thee ; and through the rivers, they iliall not overflow 
thee : when thou walkeft through the fire, thou ihalt 
not be burnt ; neither iliall the flame kindle upon thee. 

3 For I am the Lord thy God, the holy One of If- 
rael, thy Saviour : I gave Egypt for thy ranfom, Ethi- 
opia and Seba for thee. 

4 Since thou w r afl precious in my fight, thou hail 
been honourable, and I have loved thee : therefore 
will I give men for thee, and people for thy || life. 

5 a Fear not ; fori am with thee : I will bring thy 44 <" 2 -' 
feed from the eafi, and gather thee from the weft ; 

6 I will fay to the north, Give up : and to the fouth, 
Keep not back : bring my fons from far, and my 
daughters from the ends of the earth ; 

7 Even every one that is called by my name : for I 
have created him for my glory, I have formed him ; 
yea, I have made him. 

8 If Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and 
the deaf that have ears. 

9 Let all the nations be gathered together, and let 
the people be affembled : b who among them can de- 
clare this, and iliew us former things ? let them bring 
forth their witneffes, that they may be juilified ; or let 
them hear, and fay, It is truth. _ 

10 Ye are my witneffes, faith the Lord, and my

1 God again comforteth his church with gracious prom-

Israel to trust in his mercy ; andpromiseth restora-

YET now hear, a O Jacob, my fervant ; and Ifrael, 
whom I have ehofen : 
2 Thus faith the Lord that made thee, and form- 
ed thee from the womb, which will help thee. Fear 
not, O Jacob my fervant ; and thou, Jefurun, whom 
I have ehofen. 

For I will b pour water upon him that is thirlty, 
and floods upon the dry ground ; I will pour my Spirit 
upon thy feed, and my blefling upon thine offspring : 

4 And they lhall fpring up as among the grafs, as 
willows by the water courfes* 

5 One fhall fay, I am the Lord's: and another 
lhall call himself by the name of Jacob ; and another 
lhall fubferibe •with his hand unto the Lord, and fur-

6 Thus faith the Lord the King of Ifrael, and his 
Redeemer the Lo r d of holts, c I am the firft, and I am 
the la ft ; and befit.e mc there is no god. 



7 And who, as I, fhall call, and fhall declare it, and 
fet it in order lor me, iince I appointed the ancient 
people ? and the things that are coming, and lhall 
come, let them fhew unto them. 

8 Fear ye not, neither be afraid : have not I told 
thee from that time, and have declared it ? ye arc 
even my witnelTls. Is there a god btikle me ? yea, 
d there is no f god ; I know not any. 

9 % They that make a graven image are all of them 
vanity 5 and their f delegable things lhall not profit ; 
and they are their own witnefifes ; e they fee not, nor 
know, that they may be alhamed. 

10 Who hath formed a god, or mclien a graven 
image, that is profitable for -nothing ? 

11 Behold, all his fellows lhall be f alhamed ; and 
the workmen, they are of men : let them all be gath- 
ered together, let them Hand up ; yet they lhall fear, 
and they lhall be alhamed together. 

12 e The fmith || with the tongs both worketh in 
the coals and fafhioneth it with hammers, and work- 
eth it with the ftrength of his arms : yea, he is hun- 
gry-, and his ftrength faileth 5 he drinketh no water, 
and is faint. 

13 The carpenter ftretcheth out his rule, he mark- 
eth it out with a line-, he fitteth it with planes, and he 
marketh it out with the compafs, and maketh it after 
the figure of a man 5 according to the beauty of a man, 
that it may remain in the houfe. 

14 He heweth him down cedars, and taketh the 
cyprefs and the oak, which he || ftrengtheneth for him-

and the rain doth nourifh it. 

15 Then lhall it be for a man to burn : for he will 
take thereof and warm himfelf; yea, he kindleth it, 
and baketh bread ; yea, he maketh a god, and wor- 
lhippeth it '■: he maketh it a graven image, and faileth 
down thereto. 

16 He burnetii part thereof in the fire ; with part 
thereof he eateth flefh : he roafteth roaft, and is fatif- 
fied ; yea, he \varmeth himself j and faith, Aha, lam. 
warm, I have feen the fire : 

17 And the refidue thereof he maketh a god, even 
his graven image ; he faileth down unto it, and wor- 
fhippeth it, and prayeth unto it, and faith, Deliver 
me ; for thou an my god. 

18 They have not known nor underftood : for he 
hath f fhut their eyesj that they cannot fee ; and their 
hearts, that they cannot under ftaiuh 

19 And none t confidereth in his heart, neither 
is there knowledge nor underftanding to fay, I have 
burned part of it hi the fire ; yea, alio I have baked 
bread upon the coals thereof; I have roaltcd flefh, 
and eaten it ; and lhall I make the refidue thereof an 
abomination ? fhall I fall down to t the ftock of a tree ? 

20 Hefeedeth on allies : a deceived heart hath turn-

Is there not a lie in my right hand ?

3 And I will give thee the treafures of darknefs,

burn them : they fhall not deliver t themfelves from \g£\ m 
the power c£ the fame : there shall not be a coal to 
warm at, nor fire to fit before it. 

15 Thus fhall they be unto thee with whom thou, 
haft laboured, even thy merchants from thy youth ; 
they fhall wander every one to his quarter ; none fhall 
fave thee. 

CHAP. XLVIII. 
1 God revealeth himself by prophecy, that his works- 
might not be ascribed to idols : 9 he saveth his peo- 
ple for his own sake : Y2 he cxhortcth them to obedi- 
ence, because of his power and providence : 16 he la- 
mentctb their disobedaence : 20 he powerfully deliv- 
ered his people, &c. 

HEAR ye this, O houfe of Jacob, which are called 
by the name of Ifrael, and are come forth out 
of the waters of Judah ; which fware by the name of 
the Lord, and make mention of the God of Ifrael, 
but not in truth, nor in righteoufnefs. 

2 For they call themfelves of the holy city, and ftay 
themfelves upon the God of Ifrael ; The Lord of 
hofts is his name. 

3 I have declared the former things from the be- 
ginning ; and they went forth out of my mouth, and 
I fhewed them ; I did them fuddenly, and they came 
to pafs. 

4 Becaufe I knew that thou art f obftinate, and thy* 
neck is an iron finew, and thy brow brafs ; 

5' I have even from the beginning declared it to 
thee ; before it came to pafs I fhewed it thee ; left 
thou fhouldeft fay, Mine idol hath done them ; and 
my graven image, and'my molten image, hath com- 
manded them. 

6 Thou haftheard,fee all this ; and will not ye declare 
it ? I have fhewed thee new things from this time, 
even hidden things, and thou didft not know them. 

7 They are created now, and not from die begin- 
ning, even before the day when thou heardeft them 
not ; left thou fhouldeft firy, Behold, I'knew them. 

8 Yea, thou heardefl not ; 3 - ea, thou kneweft not , 
Vea, from that time //W thine ear was not opened : 
for 1 knew that thou wouldeft deal very treacheroufly, 
and waft' called a tranfgreffor from the womb. 

9 If For my name's fake will I defer mine anger, 
and for my praifc will I refrain for thee, that I cut 
thee not off. 

10 Behold, I have refined thee, but not || with fil- 
vcr ; I have chofen thee in the furnace of affliction. 

11 For mine own fake, even for mine own fake, 
will I do it : for how fhoukl my name be polluted ? 
and a I will not give my glory unto another.

12 IT Hearken unto me, O Jacob, and Ifrael, my 
called ; I am he : I am the b firft, I alfo am the lair. 

13 Mine hand alfo hath laid the foundation of the 
earth, and || my right hand hath fpanned the heavens ; 
vohen I call unto them, they Hand up together : 

14 All ye affemble yourfelves, and hear ; which 
among them hath declared thefe things ? The Lord 
hath loved him : he will do his pleafure on'Babylon, 
and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans. 

15 I,c"i.>(?7zI,havefpoken; yea, I have called him*. Ihave 
brought him, and he ihall make his way profperous. 

16-11 Come ye near unto me, hear ye this ; I have 
'not fpoken in fecret from the beginning ; from the 
time that it was, there am I : and now the Lord God, 
and his Spirit, hath fent me. 

17 Thus faith the Lord thy Redeemer, the holy 
One of Ifrael, I am the Lord thy God which teacheth 
thee to profit, which leadeth thee by the way, that 
thou fhouldeft go. 

18 Oh that thou hadft hearkened to my command- 
ments ! then had thy peace been as a river, and thy 
righteoufnefs as the waves of the fea : 

19 Thy feed alfo had been as the {and, and the 
offspring of thy bowels like the gravel thereof : his 
name fhould not have been cut off nor destroyed from 
before me. 

20 II Go ye forth of Babylon, flee ye from the 
Chaldeans ; with a voice of finging declare ye, tell 
tins, utter it even to the end of the earth ; fay ye, 
The Lord hath c redeemed his fervant Jacob. 

21 And they thirfted not when he led them through 
the deferts : he d caufed the waters to flow out of the 
rock for them ; he clave the rock alfo, and the waters 
gufhed out. 

22 e There is no peace, faith the Lord, unto the 
wicked. 

C H A P. XLIX. 
1 Christ complaineth of the nnsuccessfulness of his mis- 
sion to the Jews : 5 he is sent to the Gentiles with 
gracious promises. 1 3 God's love to his church is per- 
petual : 18 its restoration and enlargement. 24 The 
certainty of its deliverance out of captivity . 
ISTiiN, O Hies unto me ; and hearken, ye peo- 
ple , from far ; The Lord hath called me from the 
womb ; from the bowels of my mother hath he made 
mention of my name. 

2 And he hath made my mouth like a fharp {word ; 
in the ihadow of his hand hath he hid me, and made 
me a poliihed fliaft ; in his quiver hath he hid me ; 

3 And laid unto me, Thou art my fervant, O If- 
rael, in whom I will be glorified. 

4 Then I laid, I have laboured in vain, Ihave fpent 
my flreng'ch for nought, and in vain : yet furely my 
judgment is with the Lord, and || my work with my 
God. 

5 H And now, faith the Lord that formed me from 
the womb to be his fervant, to bring Jacob again to 
him, || Though Ifrael be not gathered, yet lhall I be 
glorious in the eyes of the Lord, and my God lhall be 
my ftrength, 

6 And he faid, || It is a light thing that thou fhouldeft 
be my fervant, to raife up the tribes of Jacob, and to 
reftore the || preferved of Ifrael ; I will alfo give thee 
for a a light to the Gentiles, that thou mayeit be my 
falvation unto the end of the earth. 

7 Thus faith the Lord, the Redeemer of Ifrael, and 




I A H. IsraePs restoration and enlargement. 

his holy One, || to him whom man defpifeth, to him 
whom the nation abhorreth, to a fervant of rulers, 
kings lhall fee and arife, princes alfo fhall worfHp, 
becauie of the Lord that is faithful, and the holy One 
oi Iirael, and he fhall choofe thee. 

8 Thus faith the Lord, b In an acceptable time b 'Cor.&2, 
have I heard thee, and in a clay of falvation have I 
helped thee ; and I will preferve thee, and give thee 

for a covenant of the people, to 11 eftablilh the earth, a° r >

9 That thou may eft fay c to the prifoners, Go zSbTfaf 
forth ; to them that are in darknefs, Shew yourfelves : ^ *" y ' 2< 
they lhall feed in the ways, and their paftures shall be 

in all high places. 

10 They lhall not d hunger nor thirft ; neither fhall ?* ev< 
the heat nor fun finite them : for he that hath mercy ' 

on them {hall lead them, even by the fprings of water 
lhall he guide them. 

1 1 ^ And I will make all my mountains a way, and 
my highways lhall be exalted. 

12 Behold, thefe {hall come from far ; and, lo, 
thefe from the north and from the weft ; and thefe 
from the land of Sinim. 

13 II Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth ; and 
break forth into finging, O mountains : for the Lord 
hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon 
his afflicted. 

14 But Zion faid, The Lord hath forfaken me, and 
my Lord hath forgotten me. 

15 Can a woman forget her fucking child, fthatihe + ™fc frc * 
fhould not have companion on the fon of her womb ? «SSi«i 
yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. 

16 Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of 
my hands ; thy walls are continually before me. 

17 Thy children ihall make hafte ; thy deftroyers, 
and they that made thee wafte, lhall go "forth of thee. 

18 H c Lift up thine eyes roundabout, and behold, e ch ap , 
all thefe gather themfelves together, and come to thee. 6o4 * 
As I live, faith the Lord, thou {halt furely clothe thee 
with them all, as with an ornament, and bind them on 
thee as a bride doeth. 

19 For thy wafte and thy defolate places, and the 
land of thy deftruction, fhall even now be too narrow 
by reafon of the inhabitants, and they that {"wallowed 
thee up fha!l be far away. 

20 The children which thou fhalthave, after thou haft 
loft the other, lhall fay again in thine ears, The place 
is too ftrait for me : give place to me, that I may dwell. 

21 Then {halt thou fay in thine heart, Who hath 
begotten me thefe, feeing I have loft my children, 
and am defolate, a captive, and removing to and fro ? 
and who hath brought up thefe ? Behold, I was left 
alone ; thefe, where had the v been ? 

22 Thus faith the Lord God, Behold, I will lift up 
mine hand to the Gentiles, and fet up my ftandard 
to the people : and they lhall bring thy fons in their 
farms, and thy daughters ihall be carried upon their +Heb. 
ihoulders. 

23 And kings ihall be thy f nurfmg fathers, and. t He*,

Christ's confidence in God's help. 

25 But thus faith the Lord, Even the f captives 
of the mighty fhall be taken away, and the prey of 
the terrible fhall be delivered : for I will contend 
with him that contendeth with thee, and 1 will fave 
thy children. 

26 And I will feed them that opprefs thee, with

own s blood as with || fwcet wine : and all flefh fhall

*C II A P. L. 
1 The dereliction of the Jews to be imputed to their 
oiv n sins, and not to God's inability to save.- 4 
Christ's commission to speak comfort to the weary : 
5 his patient suffering : 7 his confidence in God's 
help. 10 An exhortation to trust in God, and not in 
human assistance. 
HUS faith the Lord, Where is the bill of your 
mother's divorcement, whom I have put away ? 
or which of my creditors is it to whom I have fold you ? 
Behold, for your iniquities have ye fold yourfelves, 
and for yourtranfgremons is your mother put away. 

2 Wherefore, when I came, was there no man ? 
when I called, was there none to anfwer ? a Is my hand 
fhortcned at all, that it cannot redeem ? or have I no 
power to deliver ? behold, at my rebuke I * dry up the 
fea ; I make the c rivers a wildernefs : their fifh fiink- 
eth becaufe there is no water, and dieth for thirft. 

3 I clothe the heavens with blacknefs ; and I make 
fackcloth their covering. 

4 1 The Lord God hath given me the tongue of 
the learned, that I fhould know how to fpeak a word 
in feafon to him that is d weary : he wakeneth morning 
by morning, he wakeneth mine ear to hear as the 
learned. 

5 Ti The Lord God hath opened mine ear, and I 
was not e rebellious, neither turned away back. 

6 f I gave my back to the fmiters, and my cheeks 
to them that plucked ofFthe hair : I hid not my face 
from fhame and {pitting. 

7 If For the Lord God will help me ; therefore fhall 
I not be confounded : therefore have I fet my face 
like a frnt, and I know that I fhall not be afhamed. 

8 z He is near that juftifieth me ; who will contend 
with me ? let us (land together : who is f mine adver- 
sary ? let him come near to me. 

9 Behold, the Lord God will help me ; who is he 
that lhall condemn me ? lo, they all fhall wax old as a

The vanity of fearing 

EARKEN to me, ye that follow after righteouf- 
nefs, ye that feek the Lord: look unto the rock 
whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence 
ye are digged. 

2 Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah 
that bare you : for I called him alone, and bleffed 
him, and increafed him. 

3 For the Lord fhall comfort Zion : he will com- 
fort all her wafte places ; and he will make her wil- 
dernefs like Eden, and her defert like the garden of 
the Lord; joy and gladnefs fhall be found therein, 
thankfgiving, and the voice of melody. 

4 If Hearken unto me, my people ; and give ear 
unto me, O my nation : for a law fhall proceed from 
me, and I will make my judgment to reft for a light 
of the people. 

5 My righteoufnefs is near * my falvation is gone 
forth, and mine arm fhall judge the people : the ifl s 
fhall wait upon me, and on mine arm fhall they truft. 

6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look upon 
the earth beneath ; for a the heavens ihall vanifh away 
like fmoke, and the earth fhall wax old like a gar- 
ment, and they that dwell therein fhall die in like 
manner : but my falvation fhall be for ever, and my 
righteoufnefs lhall not be abolifhed. 

7 IF Hearken unto me, ye that know righteoufnefs, 
the people b in whofe heart is my law ; c fear ye not the 
reproach of men, neither be ye afraid of their reviiings. 

8 For the moth fhall cat them up like a garment, 
and the worm fhall eat them like wool : but my 
righteoufnefs ihall be for ever, and my falvation from 
generation to generation. 

9 If Awake, awake, put on ftrength, O arm of the 
Lord ; awake, as in the ancient days, in the genera- 
tions of old. Art thou not it that hath cut Rahab, 
and wounded d the dragon ? 

10 Art thou not it which hath e dried the fea, the 
waters of the great deep ; that hath made the depths 
of die fea a way for the ranfomed to pafs over ? 

11 Therefore f the redeemed of the Lord fhall 
return,. .and come with finging unto Zion ; and ever- 
lafting joy shall be upon their head : they fhall obtain 
gladnefs and joy; and forrow and mourning fhall flee 
away. 

12 IF I, even I, rtwhe that comforteth you : who art 
thou, that diou fhouldcft be afraid s of a man that 
fhall die, and ofthefon of man which fhall be made 
h as grafs ; 

13 And forgettcft the Lord thy Maker, that hath 
ftrctched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations 
of the earth ; and haft feared continually every day be- 
caufe of the fury of the oppreffor, as if he || were ready 
to deftroy ? and where is the fury of the oppreffor ? 

14 The captive exile hafteneth that he may be 
loofed, and that he fhould not die in the pit, nor that 
his bread fhould fail. 

15 But I am the Lord thy God, that divided the fea, 
whofe waves roared : ' The Lord of hofts is his name. 

16 And I have put my words k in thy mouth, and 
have covered thee in the fhadow of mine hand, that 
I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of 
the earth, and fay unto Zion, Thou art my people. 

1 7 IF ' Awake, awake, Hand up, O Jerufalem, which 
haft drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his 
fury : thou haft drunken the dregs of the cup of trem- 
bling, and wrung them out.

4 For thus faith the Lord God, My people went

5 Now therefore, what have I here, faith the Lord, 
that my people is taken away for nought ? they that

the defolate than the children of the married wife, 
faith the Lord. 

2 Enlarge the place of thy tent, and let them itretcn 
forth the curtains of thine habitations : (pare not, 
lengthen thy cords, and drengthen thy (takes-: 

3 For thou (halt break forth on the right hand and 
on the left ; and thy feed ihall inherit the Gentiles, 
and make the defolate cities to be inhabited. 

4 IT Fear not ; for thou fhalt not be afhamed : nei- 
ther be thou confounded ; for thou fhalt not be put 
to fhame : for thou fhalt forget the fhame of thy 
youth, and (halt not remember the reproach of thy 
widow hood any more. 

5 For thv Maker is thine hufband, The b LoRD 
of hods is his name ; and thy Redeemer the holy 
One of Ifrael, The God of the whole earth (hall he be 
called. 

6 For the Lord hath called thee as a woman ior- 
faken and grieved in fpirit, and a wife of youth, when 
thou waft refufed, faith thy God. 

7 For a fmall moment have I forfaken thee ; but 
with great mercies will I gather thee. 

8 In a little wrath I hid my face from thee for a 
moment ; but with everlafting kindnefs will I have 
mercy on thee, faith the Lord thy Redeemer. 

9 For this is as the waters oT c Noah unto me : for 
as I have fworfl that the waters of Noah fhould no 
more go over the earth ; fo have I (jworn that I would 
not be wroth with thee ? nor rebuke thee. 

10 For the mountains (hall depart, and the hills 
be removed ; but my kindnefs fha!l not depart from 
thee, neither (hall the covenant of my peace be re- 
moved, faith the Lord that hath -mercy on thee. 

11 1i Othou affli&ed, toffed with temped, and not 
comforted < behold, I will lay thy ftqnes with a fair 
colours, and lay thy foundations with fapphires. 

12 And I will make thy windows of agates, and 
thy gates of carbuncles, and all thy borders of pleafant 
Hones. 

13 And all thy children shall be e taught of the Lord ; 
and great shall fethe peace of thy children. 

14 In righteoufnefs {halt thou be edablifhed • thou 
fhalt be far from opprellion ; for thou fhalt not fear : 
and from terror ; for it (hall not come near thee. 

15 1 Behold, they ihall furely gather together, but 
not by me : whofoever (hall gather together againd 
thee Ihall fall for thy fake. 

16 Behold, I have created the fmith that bloweth 
the coals in the fire, and that bringeth forth an in- 
ftrumentfor his work ; and I have created the wader 
t^deftroy. 

17 If No weapon that is formed againd thee fhall 
profper ; and every tongue that fhall rife againd thee 
in judgment thou fhalt condemn. This is the herit- 
age of the fervants of the Lord, and their righteouf- 
nefs is of me, faith the Lor d.

hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is 
good, and let your foul delight itfelf in fatnefs. 

3 Incline your ear, and come unto me : hear, and 
your foul (nail live - r and I will 
ing covenant with you, even the 
David. 

4 Behold, I have given him for a witnefs to the 
people, a leader and commander to the people. 

5 Behold, thou fhalt call a nation that thou knoweft 
not ; and nations that knew not thee (hall run unto 
thee, becaufeofthe Lord thy God, and for the holy 
One cf Ifrael ; for he hath glorified thee. 

6 If Seek ye the Lord while he may be found, cad 
ye upon him while he is near. 

7 Let the wicked forfake his way, and t the un- 
righteous man his thoughts : and let him return unto 
the Lord, and he will have mercy upon him ; and to 
our God, for t he will abundantly pardon, 

8 If For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nei- 
ther are your ways my ways, faith the Lord, 

> 9 For as the heavens are, higher than the earth, fo 
are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts 
than your thoughts. 

10 For as the "rain cometh down and the mow from 
heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the 
earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may 
give feed to the fower, ancl bread to the eater ; • 

11 So (hall my word be that goeth forth out of 
my mouth : it ihall not return unto me void ; but it 
fhall accomplish that which I pleafe, and it ihall pvqf- 
per in the thing whereto I Cent it. 

12 For ye (hall go out with joy, and be led forth 
with peace : the mountains ancl the hills ihall c break c S h '-^ : 
forth before you into finging, and all the trees of the J ' 
field fhall clap their hands, 

13 Indead of the thorn fhall come up the fir tree, 
and indead of the brier fhall come up the myrtle 
tree ; and it ihall be to the Lord for a name, for an 
everlafting fign that (hall not be cut off.

iThe Jews' 1 calamities not owing to want of saving pow- 
er in God, but to their own enormous sins. 16 Salva- 
tion only of God. 20 The covenant of the Redeemer. 
EHOLD, the Lord's hand is not a fhortened, that 
it cannot fave ; neither his ear heavy, that it can- 
not hear : 

2 But your iniquities have feparated between you 
and your "God, and your fins || have hid his face from 
you, that he will not hear. 

3 For b your hands are defiled with blood, and your 
fingers with iniquity ; your lips have fpoken lies, your 
tongue hath muttered perverfenefs-. 

4 None calleth for juftice, nor any pleadeth for 
truth : they truft in Vanity, and fpeak lies ; c they con- 
ceive mifchief, and bring forth iniquity ; 

l° r ' eider's. 5 They hatch j| cockatrice's eggs, and weave the 
fpicler's web : he that eateth of their eggs clieth, and 
|| that which is crufhed breaketh out into a viper. 

6 d Their webs (hall not become garments, neither 
fhall they cover themfelves with their works : their 

djob s i 4 1 j. works are works of iniquity-, and the a6l of violence is 
in their hands." 

7 - Their feet run to evil, and they make hafte to 
filed innocent blood : their thoughts are thoughts of 
iniquity ; wafting and t deftruction are in their paths. 

8 The way of peace they know not ; and there is no 
|| judgment in their goings : they have made them 
crooked paths : whofoever goeth therein fhail not 
know peace. 

w 9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth 
juflice ov( rtake us : v e wait for light, but behold ob- 
fcurity ; for brightneis, but we walk in darknefs. 

10 We grope for the wall like the blind, and we 
grope ns if we had no eyes : we (tumble at noonday, 
as in the night ; we are in defolate places as dead men. 

11 We roar all like bears, and mourn fore like 
doves : we look for judgment, but there is none ; for 
falvation, but it is far off from us. 

12 For our tranfgreflions are multiplied before thee, 
and our finsteftify againft us : for our tranfgreflions arc 
with us ; and as for our iniquities, we know them : 

13 In tranfgrefling and lying againft the Lord, and 
departing away from our God, (peaking oppreflion and

my fervants fhall rejoice, but ye fhall be afhamed : 

14 Behold, my fervants fhall fing for joy of heart, 
but ye fliall cry for forrow of heart, and fhall howl for

15 And ye fhall leave your name for a curfe unto

his fervants by another name : 

16 That he who bJeffeth himfelf in the earth, fhall 
blefs himfelf in the God of truth : and he that fweareth 
in the earth, fhall fwear by the God of truth ; becaufe 
the former troubles are forgotten, and becaufe they

17 II For, behold, I create c new heavens, and a new 
earth : and the former fliall not be remembered, nor

18 But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which 
I create : for behold, I create Jerufalem a rejoicing,

5 Will he referve his anger for ever ? will he keep 
it to the end ? Behold, thou haft fpoken and done evil 
things as thou couldeft. 

6 HThe Lord faid alfo unto me in the days of Jo- 
nah the king, Haft thou feen that which backfliding 
Ifrael hath done ? fhe is d gone up upon every high 
mountain, and under every green tree, and there hath 
played the harlot. 

7 And I faid, after fhe had done all thefe things, 
Turn thou unto me ; but ihe returned not : and her 
treacherous fifter Judah faw it. 

8 And I faw, when for all the caufes whereby back- 
fliding Ifrael committed adultery, I had put her away, 
and given her a bill of divorce : yet her treacherous 
fifter Judah feared not, but went and played the har- 
lot alfo. 

9 And it came to pafs, through the || lightnefs of her

10 And yet for all this her treacherous fifter Judah 
hath not turned unto me with her whole heart, but

1 1 And the Lord faid unto me, The backfliding If- 
rael hath juftified herfelfmore than treacherous Judah. 

1211 Go, and proclaim thefe words toward the north, 

and fay, Return, thou backfliding Ifrael, faith the 

Lord, and I will not caufe mine anger to fall upon you : 

for I am * merciful, faith the Lord, andl will not keep

13 Only acknowledge thine iniquity, that thou haft 
tranfgreffed againft the Lord thy God, and haft fcat-

and ye have not obeyed my voice, faith the Lord. 

14 Turn, O backfliding children, faith the Lord; for 

I am married unto you ; and I will take you one of a

15 And I will give f you pallors according to mine

16 And it fhall come to pafs, when ye be multi-

17 At that time they (hall call Jerufalem the throne

25 We lie down in our fhame, and our confufion

CHAP. IV. 

1 Israel is excited to repentance by promises, 3 and Ju- 
dah by threats of hostileinvasion, £sfc. 19 The prophet 
lamenteth bitterly for the afflictions of his country. 

IF thou wilt return, O Ifrael, faith the Lord, 2 return 
unto me ; and if thou wilt put away thine abomi- 
nations out of my fight, then fh alt thou not remove. 

2 And thoufhalt fvvear, The Lord liveth, in truth, 
in judgment, and in righteoufnefs ; and the nations 
fliall blefsthemfelvesinhim, and in him fhall they b glory. 

3 H For thus faith the Lord to the men of Judah 
and Jerufalem, Break up your fallow ground, and low 
not among thorns. 

4 Circumcife yourfelves to the Lord, and take 
away the forefkins of your heart, ye men of Judah and 
inhabitants of Jerufalem ; left my fury come forth like 
fire, and burn that none can quench it, becaufeof the 
evil of your doings. 

5 Declare ye in Judah, and publifh in Jerufalem, 
and fay, Blow ye the trumpet in the land ; cry, Gath-^ 
er together ; and fay, Affemble yourfelves, and let 
us go into the defenced cities. 

6 Set up the ftandard toward Zion : || retire, flay 
not ; for I will bring evil from the c north, and a great 
f deftrueTlion. 

7 The lion is come up from his thicket, and the 
deflroyer of the Gentiles is on his way ; he is gone 
forth from his place to make thy land defolate ; and 
thy cities fliall be laid wafte, without an inhabitant. 

8 For this d gird you with fack cloth, lament and 
howl ; for the fierce anger of the Lord is not turned 
back from us. 

9 And it lhall come to pafs at that day, faith the 
Lord, that the heart of the king fliall perilh, and the 
heart of the princes j and the priefts fliall be aftonifh- 
ed, and the prophets fliall wonder. 

10 Then faid I, Ah Lord God ! furely thou haft 
greatly deceived this people and Jerufalem, faying, 
Ye fliall have peace ; whereas the fword reachcth un-

God's judgment on the jfewn-

UN ye to and fro through the ftreets of Jerufa- 
lem, and lee now, and know, and feek in the 
broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be 
any that executeth judgment, that feeketh the truth,, 
and I will pardon it. 

2 And though they fay, The Lord liveth, furely 
they fwear falfely. 

3 O Lord, are not thine eyes upon the truth ? thou 
haft a ftricken them, but they have not grieved ; thou »i«ara& 
haft confumed them, but they have refufed to receive ch! P .j 
correction : they have made their faces harder than 
a rock ; they have refufed to return. 

4 Therefore I faid, Surely thefe are poor ; they are 
foolifh : for they know not the way or the Lord, nor 
the judgment of their God. 

5 I will get me unto the great men, and will fpeak 
unto them : for they have known the way of the Lord, 
and the. judgment of their God : but thefe have alto- 
gether broken the yoke, and burft the bonds. 

6 Wherefore a lion out of the foreft fhall flay them, 
and -a wolf of the || evenings fhall fpoil them ; a -leop- 
ard fhall watch over their cities : every one that go- 
eth out thence lhall be torn in pieces ; becaufe their 
tranlgreffions- are many, and their backflidings f are 
increafed. 

7 IF How fhall I pardon thee for this ? thy children 
have forfaken me, and fworn by themthat are no gods : 
when I had fed them to the full, they then committed 
adultery, and affembled themielves by troops in the 
harlots' houfes. 

8 b They were as fed horfes in the morning : every 
one neighed after his neighbour's wife. 

9 Shall I not vifit for thefe things ? faith the Lord: and 
lhall not my foul be avenged on fuch a nation as this ? 

10 IF Go ye up upon her walls, and deftroy ; but 
make not a full end : take away her battlements ; for 
they are not the Lord's. 

11 For the houfe of Ifraeland the houfe of Judah have 
dealt very treacheroufly againft me, faith the Lord. 

12 They have belied the Lord, and faid, c It is not 
he ; neither fhall evil come upon us, neither fhall we 
fee fword nor famine : 

13 And the prophets fhall become wind : and the 
word is not in them : thus lhall it be done unto them. 

14 Wherefore thus faith the Lord God of hofts, 
Becaufe ye fpeak this word, * behold, I will make my f £ h3 *' 
words in thy mouth fire, and this people wood, and 
it fhall devour them. 

15 1 Lo, I will bring a e nation upon you from far,

thou knoweft not, neither underftandeft what they fay. 

16 Their quiver is as an open fepulehre, they are

16 Make ye mention to the nations ; behold, pub-

Judah. 

17 As keepers of afield are they againft her round 
about ; becaufe fhe hath been rebellious againft me, 
faith the Lord. 

18 s Thy way and thy doings have procured thefe 
things unto thee ; this is thy wickednefs becaufe it is 
bitter, becaufe it rcacheth unto thine heart. 

19 IF My h bowels, my bowels ! I am pained at f my 
very heart ; my heart maketh a noife in me : I cannot 
held my peace, becaufe thou haft heard, O my foul, 
the found of the trumpet, the alarm of war. 

20 Deftruclion upon deftruction is cried ; for the 
whole land is fpoiled : fuddenly are my tents fpoiled, 
and my curtains in a moment. 

21 How long fhall I fee the ftandard, and hear the 
found of the trumpet ? 

22 For my people is foolifh, they have not known 
me ; they are fottifh children, and they have none 
underftanding : they are wife to do evil, but to do good 
they have no knowledge. 

23 T beheld the earth, and, lo, it was without form 
and void : and the heavens, and they had no light. 

24 I beheld the mountains, and, lo, they trembled, 
and all the hills moved lightly. 

25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, and all the 
birds of the heavens were fled. 

26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place was a wilder- 
nefs, and all the cities thereof were_ broken down at 
the prefence of the Lord, andby his fierce anger. 

27 For thus hath the Lord faid, the whole land 
fhall be defolate ; ' yet will I not make a full end. 

28 For this fhall the earth mourn, and the heavens 
above be black : becaufe I have fpoken it, I have pur- 
pofed it, and will not repent, neither will I turn back 
from it. 

29 The whole city fhall flee for the noife of the 
horfemen and bowmen ; they fhall go into thickets, 
and ciimb up upon the rocks ; every city shall fo for- 
faken, and not a man dwell therein. 

30 And when thou art fpoiled, what wilt thou do ? 
Though thou clotheft thyfelf with crimfon, though 
thou dtckeft thee with ornaments of gold, though 
thou renteft thy f face with painting, in vain fhalt 
thou make thyfelf fair : thy lovers will defpife thee, 
they will feek thy life. 

31 For I have heard a voice a3 of a woman in travail;

The enemies ofjudah encouraged,

21 Hear now this, O ^ooliih people, and without

-22 Fear ye not me ? faith the Lord : will ye not 
tremble at my prefence, which have placed thefand 

for the k bound of the fea by a perpetual decree, that 
it cannot pals it ; and though the waves thereof tofs

25 Your iniquities have turned away thefe things, 
and your fins have withholden good things from you.

CHAP. VI. 

1 The enemies sent against Judah are eager to fall 
upon her. 6 God directetb the siege because of her 
sins. 9 The prophet lamenteth the evils that would 
follow from her depravity .-18 he proclaimcth God's 
judgments : 26 he calleth the people to mourn for 
their impending calamities. 

YE children of Benjamin, gather yourfelves to 

flee out of the midft of Jerufalem, and blow the 

trumpet in Tekoa, and fet up a lign of fire in Beth- 

haccerem : for evil appeareth out of the north, and 

great deftruclion. 

2 I have likened the daughter of Zion to a || comely 
and delicate woman. 

'3 The fhcphercls with their flocks fhall come unto 
her ; they fhall pitch their tents againft her round 
about ; they fhall feed every one in his place. 

4 Prepare ye war againft her ; arife, and let us go 
up at noon. Woe unto us ! for the day goeth away, 
for the fhadows of the evening are ilretchcd out. 

5 Arife, and let us go by night, and let us deflroy 
her palaces. 

6 If For thus hath the Lord of hofts faid, Hew ye 
lor.^»r<i«»down trees, and II call a mount againft Jerufalem : this 
JbjT" of is the city to be vilited ; lhe is wholly oppreflion in the 

midft of her. 
» i««i> 57 ao. 7 » As a fountain cafteth out her waters, fo flic caft-

eth out her wickednefs : violence and fpoil is heard in 
her ; before me continually is grief and wounds. 

8 Be thou inftrucled, O Jerufalem, left my foul 
f depart from thee : left I make thee defolate, a land 
not inhabited. 

9 If Thus faith the Lord of hofts, They fhall thor- 
oughly glean the remnant of Ifrael as a vine : turn back 
thine hand as a grape gatherer into the bafkets. 

10 To whom fhall. I fpeak and give warning, that 
they may hear ? Behold, their b ear is uncircumcifed, 
and they cannot hearken: behold, the word of the Lo r d 
is unto them a reproach ; they have no delight in it. 

11 Therefore I am full of the fury of the Lord ; I 
am weary with holding in : I will pour it out upon the 
children abroad, and upon the affembly of young men 
together ; for even the hufband with the wife fhall be 
taken, the aged with him that is full of days. 

12 And their houfes fhall be turned unto others, with 
their fields and wives together : for I will ftretch out my 
hand upon the inhabitants of the land, faith the Lord. 

13 For from the leaft of them even unto the greateft 
of thern, every one is given to c covetoufnefs ; and from 
the prophet even unto the prieft, every one dealeth 
falfely : 

14* They have d healed alfo the t hurt of the daughter 
of my people flightly, faying, Peace, peace; when 
there is no peace. 

15 Were they " afhamed when they had committed 
abomination ? nay, they were not all afhamed, neither 
could they blufh ; therefore they fhall fall among 
them that fall : at the time that I vifit them they fhall 
be caft down, faith the Lord. 

16 Thus faith the Lord, Stand ye in the ways, and 
fee, and alk for the f old paths, where is the good way, 
and walk therein, and ye fhall find s reft for your fouls : 
but they faid, We will not walk therein. 

17 Alfo I let watchmen over you, saying, Hearken, 
to the found of the trumpet : but they faid, We will 
not hearken. 

18 II Therefore hear, ye nations, and know, O con- 
gregation, what is among them. 

19 Hear, O earth : behold, I will bring evil upon 
this people, even the fruit of their thoughts, becaufe 
they have not hearkened unto my words, nor to my 
law, but rejected it, 

20 h To what purpofe cometh there to me inoenfe 
from Sheba, and the fweet cane from a far country ? 
your burnt offerings are not acceptable, nor j our fac- 
crifices fweet unto me. 

21 Tiierefore thus faith the Lord, Behold, I will 
lay Humbling blocks before this people, and the fathers 
and the fons together lliall fall upon them ; the neigh- 
bour and his friend ihall perifh. 

22 Thus faith the Lord, Behold, a people cometh 
from the ' north country, and a great nation fhall be 
railed from the fides of the earth. 

23 They fhall lay hold on bow and fpear ; they are 
cruel, and have no mercy : their voice roareth like the 
fea ; and they ride upon horfes, fet in array as men for 
war againft thee, O daughter of Zion. 

24 We have heard the fame thereof ; our hands 
wax feeble : anguifh hath taken hold of us, and pain, 
as of a woman in travail. 

25 Go not forth into the field, nor walk by the way ; 
for the fword of the enemy and fear is on every fide.

CHAP. VII. 

1 Jeremiah is sent to call the Jews to repentance, in 
order to prevent their captivity : 8 their vain confi- 
dence rejected after the example of Shdoh. 17 God 
threateneth them for their idolatry : 21 he required 
not the sacrifices of the disobedient. 29 A call to 
mourning for the abominations in Tophet : 32 judg- 
ments denounced because of them. 

THE word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, 
faying, 

2 Stand in the gate of the Lord's houfe, and pro- 
claim there this word, and fay, Hear the word of the 
Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in at thefe gates to 
worfhip the Lord. 

3 Thus faith the Lord of hofts, the God of Ifrael, 
a Amend your ways and your doings, and I will caufe 
you to dwell in this place. 

4 Truft ye not in lying words, faying, The temple 
of the Lord, the temple of the Lord, the temple of 
the Lord, are thefe. 

5 For if ye thoroughly amend your ways and your 
doings ; if ye thoroughly execute judgment between 
a man and his neighbour ; 

6 If ye opprefs not the ftranger, the fatherlefs, and 
the widow, and ihed not innocent blood in this place, 
neither walk after other gods to your hurt ; 

7 Then will I caufe you to dwell in this place, in the 
land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. 

8 H Behold, ye truft in lying words, that cannot 
profit. 

9 Will ye fteal, murder, and commit adultery, and 
fwear falfely, and burn incenfe unto Baal, and walk 
after other gods whom ye know not ; 

10 And come and ftand before me in this houfe, 
f which is called by my name, and fay, We are deliv- 
ered to do all thefe abominations ? 

11 Is b this houfe, which is called by my name, be- 
come a c den of robbers in your eyes ? Behold, even 
I have feen it, faith the Lord. 

12 But go ye now unto my place which was in Shi- 
lob, where I fet my name at the firft, and fee d what I 
did to it for the wickednefs of my people Ifrael. 

13 And now, becaufe ye have done all thefe works, 
faith the Lord, and I fpake unto you, rifmg up early 
and fpeaking, but ye heard not ; and I e called you, 
but ye anfwered not : 

14 Therefore will I do unto this houfe, which is 
called by my name, wherein ye truft, and unto the 
place which I gave to you, and to your fathers, as I 
have done to f Shiloh. 

15 And I will caft you out of my fight, as I have caft 
out all your brethren, even the whole feed of Ephraim.

17 IT Seeft thou not what they do in the cities, of £; &%',*

18 h The children gather wood, and the fathers kin- 
dle the fire, and the women knead their dough to make 
cakes to the || queen of heaven, and to pour out drink 
offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me 
to anger. 

19 Do they provoke me to anger ? faith the Lord : 
do they not provoke themfelves to the confufion of their 
own faces ? 

20 Therefore thus faith the Lord God, Behold, 
mine anger and my fury fliall be poured out upon this 
place, upon man, and upon beaft, and upon the trees, 
of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground ; and it 
fhall burn, and fhall not be quenched. 

21 IThus faith the Lord of hofts, the God of If. 
rael, "Put your burnt offerings unto your facrifices, 
and eat flefh. 

22 For I fpake not unto your fathers, nor command- 
ed them in the day that I brought them out of the land 
of Egypt, j concerning burnt offerings or facrifices : 

23 But this thing commanded I them, faying, k Obey 
my voice, and 1 1 will be your God, and ye fhall be JK f 9 3 ; 
my people ; and walk ye in all the ways that I have Levic - 2 <> '*> 
commanded you, that it may be well unto you. 

24 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, 

but walked in the counfels and in the || imagination of nor, s ,„j. 
their evil heart, and f went backward, and not forward. tKESw* 

25 Since the day that your fathers came forth out 
of the land of Egypt unto this day, I have even '" fent 
unto you all my fervants the prophets, daily rifing up 
early, and fending them : 

26 Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined 
their ear, but n hardened their neck ; they did worfe 
than their fathers. 

27 Therefore thou fhalt fpeak all thefe words unto 
them ; but they will not hearken to thee : thou fhalt 
alfo call unto them ; but they will not anfwer thee. 

28 But thou fhalt fay unto them, This is a nation 
that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor 
receiveth || correction : truth is periihed, and is cut 
off from their mouth. 

29 If Cut off thine hair, Jerusalem, and caft it 
away, and take up a lamentation on high places ; for 
the Lord hath rejected and forfaken the generation of 
his wrath. 

30 For the children of Judah have done evil in my 
fight, faith the Lord: they have fet their abomina- 
tions in the houfe which is called by my name, to pol- 
lute it. 

31 And they have built the ° high places of Tophet, 
which is in the valley of the fon of Hinnom, to burn 
their fons and their daughters in the fire, which I com- 
manded them not, neither t came it into my heart. 

32 H Therefore, behold, p the days come, faith the .. 
Lord, that it fhall no more be called Tophet, nor, p^p'?*- 
The valley of the fon of Hinnom, but, The valley of 
Slaughter : for they fhall bury in Tophet till there be 
no place. 

33 And the q carcaffes of this people fhall be meat j^ s if ah °f'

C H A P, VIII. 
1 The calamities of the jews, both of the dead and the 
living. 4 The prophet upbraideth their stubborn and 
shameless impenitence : 13 he sheweth God's severe 
judgments against them, 18 and bewaileth the misery 
of his people. . 

AT that time, faith the Lord, they fnall bring out 
the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones 
of nis princes, and the bones of the priefts, and the 
bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabit- 
ants of Jerufalem, out of their graves : 

2 And they fhail fpread them before the fun, and 
the moon, and all the hoft of heaven,, whom they have 
loved, and whom they have ferved, and after whom 
they have walked, and whom they have fought, and 
whom they have worfhipped : they ihail not be gath- 
ered, nor be buried ; they fhall be for dung upon the 
face of the earth. 

3 And death fhall be chofen rather than life by all 
the relidue of them that remain of this evil family, 
which remain in all the places whither I have driven 
them, faith die Lord of holts - 

4 1l Moreover, thou fhait fay unto them, Thus faith 
the Lord, fhali they fall, and not arife ? fhall he turn 
away, and not return ; 

5 Why then is this people of Jerufalem Hidden back 
by a perpetual backfliding ? they hold fait deceit, they 
refufe to return. 

6 I hearkened and heard, but they fpake not aright : 
no man repented him of his wickednefs, faying, What 
have I done ? every one turned to his courfe, as the 
hoi fe rufheth into the battle. 

7 Yea, a the ltork in the heaven knoweth her ap- 
pointed times ; and the turtle, and the crane, and the 
(wallow, obferve the time of their coming ; but my 
people know not the judgment of the Lord. 

8 How do ye fay, We are wife, and the law of the 
Lord is with us ? Lo, certainly || in vain made he it; 
the pen of the fcribes is in vain. 

9 b || The wife men areafhamed, they aredifmayed 
and taken ; lo, they have rejected the word of the 
Lord ; and t what wifdom is in them ? 

10 Therefore will I give their wives unto others, 
and their fields to them that fhall inherit them : for 
every one, from the leaft even unto the greateft, is 
given to c covetoufnefs ; from the prophet even unto 
the prieft, every one dealeth falfely. 

1 1 For they have d healed the hurt of the daughter 
of my people llightly, faying, e Peace, peace, when 
there is no peace. 

12 Were they f afhamed when they had commit- 
ted abomination ? nay, they were not at all afhamed, 
neither could they blufh : therefore ihall they fall 
among them that fall ; in the time of their vilitation 
they lhall be caft down, faith the Lord. 

13 H || I will finely confume them, faith the Lord : 
there shall be no grapes s on the vine, nor figs on the 
h fig tree, and the leaf (hall fade ; and the things thai 
I have given them fhall pafsaway from them. 

14 Why do we fit (till ? affemble yourfelves, and 
let us enter into the defenced cities, and let us be 
filent there ; for the Lord our God hath put us to

CHAP. IX. 
1 The prophet bewaileth the manifold sins of his people y 

9 and the judgments coming upon them : 12 he shew- 
eth that disobedience is the cause of their calamity :. 
17 he exhorteth them to mourn for their desolation, 
23- and not to glory in man but in God : 25 the Jews 
and Gentiles threatened. 

t /^\H a that my head were waters, and' mine eyes 
\j a fountain of tears, that I might weep day and 
night for the flain of the daughter of my people ! 

2 Oh that I had in the wildernefs a lodging place 
of way faring men, that I might leave my people, 
and go from them ! for they be all adulterers, an af- 
fembly of treacherous men- 

3 And they bend their tongues like their bow for 
lies ; but they are not valiant for the truth upon the 
earth : for they proceed from evil to evil, and they 
know not me, faith the Lord. 

4 b Take ye heed, every one of his || neighbour, mSVsI 
and truft ye not in any brother : for every brother |9 r '. 
will utterly fupplant, and every neighbour will walk 

with flanders. 

5 And they will || deceive every one his neighbour, ■,££ 
and will not fpeak the truth : they have taught their 
tongue to fpeak lies, and weary themfelves to commit 
iniquity. 

6 Thine habitation is in the midlt of deceit ; through 
deceit they refufe to know me, faith the Lord. 

7 Therefore thus faith the Lord of holts, Behold, 
I will melt them, and try them ; for how lhall I do 
for the daughter of my people ? 

8 Their tongue is as an arrow (hot out, it fpeaketh 
c deceit : one fpeaketh d peaceably to his neighbour 
with his mouth, but tin heart he layeth || his wait. 

_ 9 If e Shall I not vifi't them for thefe things ? faith

16 I will h fcatter them alfo among the heathen, 
whom neither they nor their lathers have known : 
and I vyill lend a fword after them , till I have cbnjfumed 
them. 

17 If Thus faith the Lord of holts, Confider ye, and 
call for the mourning women, that they may come, 
and fend for cunning ivomen; that they may come : 

18 And let them make hafte, and take up a wailing 
for us, that our eyes may run down with tears, and 
our eyelids gufh out with waters. 

19 For a voice of wailing is heard out of Zion, 
How are we fpoiled ! we are greatly confounded, 
becaufe we have forfaken the land, becaufe our dwell- 
ings have caft us out. 

20 Yet hear the word of the Lord, Q ye women, 
and let your ear receive the word of his mouth, and 
leach your daughters wailing, and every one her

21 For death is come up into our windows, and is 
entered : into our palaces, to cut off the children from 
without, and the young men from the ftreets. 

22 Speak, Thus.faith the Lord ; Even the carcaffes 
of men fhall fall as dung upon the open field, and 
as the handful after the harveftman, and none fhall 
gather them. 

23 If Thus faith the I^ord, Let not the wife man 
glory in his wifdom, neither let the mighty man glory 
in his might, let not the rich man glory in his riches : 

24 But i let him diat glorieth, glory in this, that he

1 The prophet proclaimeth Godf s covenant, andrebuk- 
eth the Jews for disobeying it : 11 he denounce th evil 
against them for their idolatry, 18 and upon the men 
of Anathoth, Esfc. 

THE word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord 
faying, 

2 Hear ye the words of this covenant, and fpeak unto 
the men of Judah , and to the inhabitants of Jerufalem ; 

3 And fay thou unto them, Thus faith the Lord 
2 0^2726. God of Ifrael, a Curfed be the man that obeyeth not 

the words of this covenant, 

4 Which I commanded your fathers in the day that 
I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, from 
the iron furnace, faying, b Obey my voice, and do 
them, according to all which I command you : fo 
fhall ye be my people, and I will be your God ; 

5 That I may perform the c oath which I have 
fworn unto your fathers^ to give them a land flowing 
with milk and honey, as it is this day. Then anfwer- 

rHcb.Amin. ed I, and faid,~ j So be it, O Lord. 

6 Then the Lord faid unto me, Proclaim all thefe 
words in the cities of Judah, and in the ftreets of 
Jerufalem, faying, Hear ye the words of this cove- 
nant, and do them. 

7 For I earncftly protefted unto your fathers, in 
the day that I brought them up out of the land of 
Egypt, even unto this day, rifing early, and protefting, 
faying, Obey my voice. 

8 Yet they obeyed not, nor inclined their ear, but 
walked every one in the || imagination of their evil 
heart : therefore I will bring upon them all the words 
of this covenant, which I commanded them to do ; 
but they did them not. 

9 And the Lokd faid unto me, A confpiracy is 
found among the men of Judah, and among the inhab- 
itants of Jerufalem. 

10 They are turned back to the iniquities of their 
forefathers, which refufedto hear my words, and they 
went after other Gods to fcrve them : the houfe of 
Ifrael and the houfe of J uclah have broken my cove- 
nant which I made with their fathers. 

1 1 H Therefore, thus faith the Lord, Behold, I will 
bring evil upon them, which they fhall not be able 
t toefcape ; and d though they fhall cry unto me, I will 
not hearken unto them. 

12 Then lliall the cities of Judah and inhabitants 
of Jerufalem go, and cry unto the gods unto whom 
they offer incenfe : but they fhall not fave them at ah 
in the time of their | trouble. 

13 For according to the number of thy c cities were 
thy gocis, O Judah ; and according to the number ot 
the Itreets of Jcrulalem have ye letup altars to thai

17 For the Lord of hofts, that planted thee, hath 
pronounced evilagainft thee, for the evil of the houfe 
of Ifrael, and of the houfe of Judah, which they have 
done againft themfelves to provoke me to anger, in 
offering incenfe unto Baal. 

18H And the Lord hath given me knowledge of it, 
and I know it ; then thou fhewedfl me their doings, 

19 But I was like a lamb, or an ox, that is brought 
to the {laughter; and I knew not that they had deviled 
devices againft me, saying, Let us deftroy t the tree 
with the fruit thereof, and let us. cut him off from the 
land of the living, . that his name may be no more 
remembered. 

• 20 But, O Lord of hofts, that judgeft righteoufly, 
that h trieft the reins and the heart,, let me fee thy 
vengeance on them ; for unto thee have I revealed 
my caufe. 

21 Therefore, thus faith the Lord of the men of 
Anathoth, that feek thy life, faying, Prophefy not in 
the name of the Lord, that thou die not by our hand : 

22 Therefore, thus faith the Lord of hofts, Behold, 
I will t punifh them ; the young men fhall die by the 
fword, their fons and their daughters fhall die by 
famine - r 

23 And there fhall be no remnant of them : for 
I will bring evil upon the men of Anathoth, even the 
year of their viiitation. 

C HA P. XII.

grace to" the penitent.

6 For even d thy brethren, and the houfe of thy fa-

yea, || they have called a multitude after thee : believe

7 IF I have forfaken mine houfe, I have left mine

10 Many pallors have deftroyed my vineyard, they 
have trodden my portion under foot, they have made 
my t pleafant portion a defolate wildernefs. 

11 They have made it defolate, and being defolate 
it mourneth unto me; the whole land is made defolate, 
becaufe no man layeth it to heart. 

12 The fpoilers are come upon all high places 
through the wildernefs : for the fword of the Lord 
fhall devour from the one end of the land even to the 
other end of the land : no flefli fhall have peace. 

13 e They have fown wheat, but fhall reap thorns ; 
they have put themfelves to pain, but fhall not profit ; 
and || they fhall be afhamed of your revenues, becaufe

14 IT Thus faith the Lord againft all mine evil 
neighbours, that touch the inheritance which I have 
caufed my people Ifrael to inherit ; Behold, I will 
f pluck them out of their land, and pluck out the houfe 
of Judah from among them. 

15 And it fhall come to pafs, after that I have pluck-

16 And it fhall come to pafs, if they will diligently 
learn the ways of my people, to fwear by my name, 
The Lord liveth ; (as they taught my people to fwear 
by Baal ;) then fhall they be built in the midft of my 
people. 

17 But if they will not s obey, I will utterly pluck

7 Then I went to Euphrates, and digged, and took 
the girdle from the place where I had hid it ; and, be-

nothing. 

8 Then the word ofthe L o r d came unto me , faying, 

9 Thus faith the Lord, After this manner will I mar 
the pride of Judah, and the great pride of Jerufalem. 

10 This evil people which refufe to hear my words, 
which walk in the || imagination of their heart, and walk 
after other gods to ferve them and to worfhip them, 
fhall even be as this girdle, which is good for nothing. 

1 1 For as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a man, 
fo have I caufed to cleave unto me the whole houfe of 
Ifrael, and the whole houfe of Judah, faith the Lord ; 
that they might be unto me for a people, and for a 
name, and for a praife, and for a glory ; but they would 
not hear. 

12 Therefore thou fhalt fpeak unto them this word, 
Thus faith the Lord God of Ifrael, Every bottle fhall 
be filled with wine : and they fhall fay unto thee, Do 
we not certainly know that every bottle fhall be filled 
with wine ? 

13 Then fhalt thou fay unto them, Thus faith the 
Lord, Behold, I will fill all the inhabitants of this 
land, even the kings that fit upon David's throne, and 
the priefts, and the prophets, and all the inhabitants 
of Jerufalem, with drunkennefs. 

14 And I will dafh them f one againft another, even 
the fathers and the fons together, faith the Lord : I 
will not pity, nor fpare, nor have mercy, f but deftroy 
them. 

15 "[[Hear ye, and give ear ; be not proud: for the

17 But if ye will not hear it, my foul fhall weep in

18 Say unto the king, and to the queen, Humble

1 A grievous famine. 7 The prophet' 'sprayer. 10 God 
will not be entreated for the people. 13 Both the 
lying prophets, and the people who believe them, 
shall perish. 17 Jeremiah commanded to bewail 
their calamities. 

THE word of the Loud that came to Jeremiah 
concerning f the dearth. 

2 Judah moLirneth, and the gates thereof Ianguifh : 
they are black unto the ground ; and the cry of Je- 
rufalem is gone up. 

3 And their nobles have fent their little ones to the 
waters : they came to the pits, andio\xnd no water ; 
they returned with their veffels empty : they were 

imed and confounded, and covered their heads. 

4 Becaufe the ground is chapt, for there was no rain 
in the earth, the ploughmen were afliamed, they cover- 
ed their heads. 

5 Yea, the hind alfo calved in the field, and forfook 
it, becaufe there was no grafs 

6 

fhuffed up the wind like dragons ; their eyes did 
fail becaufe there was no grafs. 

7 HO Lord, though our iniquities teftify againft 
us, do thou it for thy name's fake : for our backflid- 
ings are many ; we have finned againft thee. 

8 O the hope of Ifrael, the Saviour thereof in time 
of trouble, why fhouldeft thou be as a ftranger in the 
land, and as a wayfaring man that turneth alkie to 
tarry for a night ? 

9 Why fhouldeft thou be as a man aftonifhed, as a 
mighty man that cannot fave ? yet thou, O Lord, 
art in the midil of us, and f we are called by thy name : 
leave us not. 

10 % Thus faith the Lord unto this people, Thus 
have they loved to wander, they have not refrained 
their feet ; therefore the Lord doth not accept them : 

ill nowremember their iniquity, and viiittheir fins. 

11 Then faid the Lord unto me, * Pray not for this 
people for their srooc\. 

12 b When they fall, I will not hear their cry ; and 
v. hen they offer burnt offering and an oblation, I will 
not accept them : but I will confume them by the 
fword, and by the famine, and by the peftilence. 

13 HThen faid I, Ah Lord God! behold, the 
prophets fay unto them, Ye fhall not fee the fword, 
neither fhall ye have famine ; but I will give you taf- 

'; peace in this place. 

14 Then the Lord faid unto me, The prophets 
prophefy lies in my name ; c I fent them not, neither 
have I commanded them, neither fpake unto them : 
they prophefy unto you afalfe vifion, and divination, 
and a thing of nought, and the deceit of their heart. 

15 Then fore thusfaiththeLoRD concerning the pro-

they ihall be confumed by the fword, and by famine ; 
and their c carcaffes fhall be meat for the fowls of heav-

5 For thus faith the Lord, Enter not into the houfe 
of i! mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them : for, mm 
for I have taken away my peace from this people, faith, »'»*#"« 
the Lord, even loving kind nefs and mercies. 

6 Both the great and the fmall (hall die in this land : 
they fhall not be buried, neither Ihall men lament for 
them, nor d cut themfelvcs, nor make themfelves bald 
for them. 

7 Neither fhall men \\ tear themselves for them in 
mourning, to comfort them for the dead ; neither 
fhall meti give them the cup of confolation to drink 
for their father or for their mother. 

8 Thou fhalt not alfo go into the houfe of feafting, 
to lit with them to eat and to drink. 

9 For thus faith the Lord of hofts, the God of 
Ifrael, Behold, e I will caufe to ceafe out of this place eisaiah 
in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, Shap-f; 
and the voice of gladnefs, the voice of the bride- 
groom, and the voice of the bride. 

10 If And it fhall come to pafs, when thou fhalt 
fhew this people all thefe words, and they fhall fay 
unto thee, i Wherefore hath the Lord pronounced all 
this great evil againft us ? or what is our iniquity, or 
what is our fin that we have committed againft the 
Lord our God ? 

11 Then fhalt thou fay unto them, Becaufe your 
fathers have forfaken me, faith the Lord, and have 
walked after other gods, and have ferved them, and 
have worfhipped them, and have forfaken me, and 
have not kept my law : 

12 And ye have clone s worfe than your fathers ; (for |^ a f;„i 2 * 
behold, ye walk eveiy one after the I! imagination of *<"■»«"• 
his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me ;) 

13 h Therefore will Icaftyou out of this land into fc.°g»£4»* 
a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers ; 
and there fhall ye ferve other gods clay and night, 
where I will not fhew you favour. 

14 If Therefore, behold, the ; days come, faith the 
Lord, that it fhall no more be faid, The Lord liveth 
that brought up the children of Ifrael out of the land 
of Egypt ? 

15 But, The Lord liveth that brought up the 
children of Ifrael from the land of the north, and from 
all the lands whither he had driven them : and I will 
bring them again into their land that I gave unto then- 
fathers. 

16 If Belwld, I will fend for many fifhers , faith the 
Lord, and they fhall fifh them ; and after will I fend 
for many hunters, and they fhali hunt them from 
every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the 
holes of the rocks. 

17 For mine k eyes arc upon all their ways : they k job 3431. 
are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid SSj^'is 
from mine eyes.. 

18 And firft I will recompenfe their iniquity and 
their fin double ; becaufe they have defiled my land, 
they have filled mine inheritance with the carcaffes of 
their deteftable and abominable things. 

19 O Lord, my ftrength and my fortrefs, and my 
refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles fhall come 
unto thee from the ends of the earth, and fhall fay, 
Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and 
things wherein there is no profit.

CHAP, XVII. 
1 The captivity of Judah for her sin. 5 Trust in man 
is cursed, 7 in God is blessed. 9 The deceitful heart 
cannot impose upon God. 12 In God alone is sure sal- 
vation. 15 The prophet complaining of scoffers, 
prayeth unto God: 19 he is sent to exhort to a due ob- 
servation of the sabbath. 
'HE fin of Judah is written with a a pen of iron, 
and with the f point of a diamond ; it is graven 
upon the table of their heart, and upon the horns of 
your altars ; 

2 Whilft their children remember their altars and 
their b groves by the green trees upon the high hills. 
' 3 O my mountain in the field, c I will give thy fub- 
flance, and all thy treafures to the fpoil, and thy high 
places for fin, throughout all thy borders. 

4 And thou, even t thyfelf, ihalt difcontinue from 
thine heritage that I gave "thee ; and I will caufe thee 
to ferve thine enemies in the land which thou knoweft 
not : for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which 
fhall burn for ever. 

5 II Thus faith the Lord, Curfed be the man that 
trufleth in man, and maketh nt-ih his arm, and whofe 
heart departeth from the Lord : 

6 For he fhall be like the heath in the defert, and 
fhall nor fee when good cometh ; but fhall inhabit the 
parched places in the wildernefs, in a fait land and not 
inhabited. 

7 II d Bkffed is the man that trufleth in the Lord, 
and whofe hope the Lord is ; 

8 For he lhall be e as a tree planted by the waters, 
and that fpreadeth out her roots by the river, and fhall 
not fee when heat cometh ; but her leaf fhall be green , 
and fhall not be careful in the year of || drought, nei- 
ther fhall ceafe from yielding fruit. 

9 H The heart is deceitful above all things, and 
defperately wicked : who can know it ? 

10 I the Lord r fearch the heart, / try the reins, 
even to give every man according to his ways, and 
according to the fruit of his doings. 

11 As the partridge || fitieth on eggs, and hatcheth 
them not ; so he that getteth riches, and not by right, 
fhall leave them in the midftof his days, and at his end 
fhall be a fool. _ 

12 II A glorious high throne from the beginning is 
the place of our fanctuary. 

' 13 O Lord, the hope of Ifrael, ^ all that forfake 
thee fhall be afhamed, and they that depart from me 
ihall be written in the earth, becaufe they have forlak- 
en the Lord, the h fountain of living waters. 

14 Heal me, O Lord, and I lhall be healed ; fave 
me, and I fhall be faved : for thou art my praife. 

1 5 II Behold, they fay unto me, ' Where is the word 
of the Lord ? let it come now. 

16 As for me, k I have not haflened from being a 
pallor t to follow thee ; neither have I defired the woe- 
ful day, thou knoweft : that which came out of my 
lips was right before thee. 

17 Be not a terror unto mc ; thou art my hope in 
the day of evil. 

18 ' Let them be confounded that perfecute me, but 



XVII, XVIII. Of God's absolute p 

let not me be confounded, let them be difmayed, but 
let not me be difmayed ; bring upon them the day of 
evil, and f m deftroy them with double deflrueVion. 

19 If Thus faid the Lord unto me, Go and fland 
in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the 
kings of Judah come in, and by the which they go 
out, and in all the gates of Jerufalem ; 

20 And fay unto them, Hear ye the word of the 
Lord, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the 
inhabitants of Jerufalem, that enter in by thefe gates : 

21 Thus faith the Lord, n Take heed to yourfelves, 
and bear no burden on the fabbath day, nor bring it in 
by the gates of Jerufalem, 

22 Neither carry forth a burden out of your homes 
on the fabbath day, neither do ye any work ; but hallow 
ye the fabbath day, as I ° commanded your fathers. 

23 But they obeyed not, neither inclined their ear, 
but made their neck fliff, that they might not hear, 
nor receive inflrudlioii. 

24 And it fiiall come to pafs, if ye diligently hearken 
unto me, faith the Lord, to bring in no burden 
through the gates of this city, on the fabbath day, but 
hallow the fabbath day, to do no work therein ; 

_ 25 p Then fhall there enter into the gates of this city, 
kings and princes fitting upon the throne of David, 
riding in chariots, and on horfes,they and their princes, 
the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerufalem ; 
and this city fhall remain for ever. 

26 And they fhall come from the cities of Judah, 
and from the places about Jerufalem, and from the 
land of Benjamin, and from the plain, and from the 
mountains, and from the fouth, bringing burnt offer- 
ings, and facrifices, and meat offerings, and incenfe, 
and bringing facrifices of praife, unto the houfe of the 
Lord. 

27 But if ye will not hearken unto me to hallow the 
fabbath day, and not to bear a burden, even entering 
in at the gates of Jerufalem on the fabbath day ; then 
will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it fhall de- 
vour the palaces of Jerufalem, and it fhai) not be 
quenched.

"Tl If Now, therefore, go to, fptak to the men of

Thus faith the Lord, Behold, I frame evil againft 
you, and devife a device againft you : d return ye now 
every one from his evil way, and make your ways and 
your doings good._ 

12 And they faid, e There is no hope : but we will 
walk after our own devices, and we will every one 
do the imagination of his evil heart. 

13 Therefore thus faith the Lord, f Afkye now 
among the heathen, who hath heard fueh things ? The 
virgin of ifrael hath done a very horrible thing. 

14 Will a man leave |) the fnow of Lebanon which 
cometh from the rock of the field ? or fhall the cold flow- 
ing waters that come from another place be forfaken ? 

15 Becaufe my people hath forgotten g rne, they 
burnt incenfe to vanity, and they have caufed 

them to (tumble in their ways from the h ancient paths, 
to walk in paths, in a way not caft up ; 

16 To make their land * defolate, and a perpetual 
hifling ; every one that paffeth thereby fhall be alton- 
ifhed, and wag his head. 

17 I will fcatter them as with an eaft wind before 
the enemy ; I will (hew them the back, and not the 
face, in the day of their calamity. 

18 If Then faid they, Come and let us devife devices 
againft Jeremiah : k for the law fhall not periih from the 
prieft, nor counfei from the wife, nor the word from 
the prophet : come, and let us fmite him |j with the 
tongue, and let us not give heed to any of his words. 

19 Give heed to me, O Lord, and hearken to the 
voice of them that contend with me. 

20 Shall evil be recompenfed for good ? for they 
have digged a pit for my foul. Remember that I flood 
before thee to fpeak good for them, and 'to turn away 
thv wrath from them. 

21 Therefore 1 deliver up their children to the fam- 
ine, and t Pour out their blood by the force _of the 
fworcl ; and let their wives be bereaved of their chil- 
dren, and be widows; and let their men be put to death ; 
let their young men be fiain by the fword in battle. 

22 Let a cry be heard from their houfes, when 
thou fhalt bring" a troop fucldenly upon them ; for they 
have digged a pit to take me, and hid fnares for 
rny feet. 

23 Yet, Lord, thou knoweftall their counfei againft 
me t to flay me : forgive not their iniquity, neither 
blot out their fin from thy fight ; but let them be 
overthrown before thee : deal thus with them in the 
time of thine anger.

Under the type of breaking a potters vessel is fore-

THUS faith the Lord, Go and get a potter's

2 And go forth unto the valley of the fonofHin-

Lord of hofts, the God of Ifrael, Behold, I will bring 
evil upon this place, the which, whofoever heareth, his 
ears lhall a tingle. 

4 Becaufe they have forfaken me, and have 
eftranged this place, and have burnt incenfe in it 
unto other gods, whom neither they nor their fathers 
have known, nor the kings of Judah, and have filled 
this place with the blood of innocents ; 

5 b They have built alio the high places of Baal, to *<£% 
burn their fons with fire for burnt offerings unto 
Baal, which I commanded not, nor fpake it, neither 
came it into my mind : 

6 Therefore, behold, the days come, faith the Lord, 
that this place fhall no more be called Tophet, nor, 
The valley of the fen of Hinnom, but, The valley of 
Slaughter. 

7 And I will make void the counfei of Judah and 
Jerufalem in this place ; and I will caufe them to fall 
by the fword before their enemies, and by the hands 

of them that feek their lives and their c carcaffes will \f^\t^, 
I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and fGr ' 
the beafts of the earth. 

8 And I will make this city d defolate, and an hilling ; ? 6 ^ p 49 %, 
every one that paffeth thereby fhall be aftonifhed and & s° '3- "*

9 And I will caufe them to eat the e flefh of

eat every one the flefh of his friend in the fiege and

their lives, fhall flraiten them. 

10 Then {halt thou break the bottle in the fight of 
the men that go with thee, 

11 And fhalt fay unto them, Thus faith the Lord

thee a terror to thyfelf, and to all thy friends ; and 
they fhall fall by the fvvord of their enemies, and thine

8 For fince I fpake I cried out, I cried violence and 
fpoil ; becaufe the word of the Lord was made a re- 
proach unto me, and a derifion daily. 

9 Then I faid, I will not make mention of him, nor 
fpeak any more in his name r but his word was in mine 
heart as a c burning fire (hut up in my bones, and I

5 But if ye will not hear thefe words, I fwear by

6 For thus faith the Lord unto the king's houfe of 
Judah, Thou art Gilead unto me, and the head of

and cities which are not inhabited. 

7 And I will prepare deftroyers againft thee, every

choice cedars, and call them into the fire. 

8 And many nations Ihall pafs by this city, and they

the Lord done thus unto this great city ? 

9 Then they fhall anfwer, Becaufe they have forfak-

10 IT Weep ye not for the dead, neither bemoan

ihall return no more, nor fee his native country. 

11 For thus faith the Lord touching Shalium, the 
fon of Joliah king of Judah, which reigned inftead of 
Jofiah his father, which went forth out of this place, 
He lhall not return thither any more : 

12 But he fhall die in the place whither they have

16 He judged thecaufe of the poor and needy, then 
it was well with him : was not this to know me ? faith 
the Lord. 

17 But thine eyes and thine heart are not but for 
thy covetoufnefs, and for to fhed innocent blood, and 
for opprefiion, and for || violence, to do it. 

18 Therefore, thus faith the Lord concerning Je- 
hoiakim the fon of Jofiah king of Judah, they fhall not 
lament for him, saying, Ah my brother ! or, Ah lif- 
ter ! they ihall not lament for him, saying, Ah lord ! 
or, Ah his glory !

the wildernefs are dried up, and their || courfe is evil, 
and their foree is not right. 

11 For both prophet and prieft are profane; yea, 
in my houfe have I found their wickednefs, faith the 
Lord. 

12 Wherefore their way fhall be unto them as flip- 
pery way s in the darknefs ; they fhall be driven on, 
and fall therein : for I will bring evil upon them, even- 
the year of their vifitation, faith the Lord. 

13 And I have feen j| f folly in the prophets of Sa- 
maria : they prophefied in Baal, and caufed my peo- 
ple Ifrael to err. 

14 I have feen alio m the prophets of Jerufalem 
|| an horrible thing : they commit adultery, and walk 
in lies ;. they ftrengthen alio the hands of evil doers, 
that none doth return from his wickednefs ; they are 
all of them unto me as f Sodom, and the inhabitants 
thereof as Gomorrah ; 

15 Therefore thus faith the Lord of hofts con- 
cerning the prophets, Behold,. I will feed them' with 
g wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall : 
for from the prophets of lerufalem is || profanenefs 
gone fort:, into all the land. 

16 Thus faith the Lord of hofts, Hearken not unto 
the words of the prophets that prophefy unta you : 
they make you vain ; they fpeak a vifion of their own 
heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord. 

17 They lay flill unto them that defpile me, The 
Lord hath laid, h Ye fhall have peace ; and they fay 
unto every one that waiketh after the !| imagination of 
his own heart, No evil fhall come upon you. 

1.8 For who hath flood in the || counfelof the Lord, 
and hath perceived and heard his word ? who hath 
marked his word, and heard it ? 

19 Behold, a 1 whirlwind of the Lord is gone forth 
in fury, even a grievous whirlwind ; it fhall fail griev- 
ously upon the head of the wicked. 

20 The k anger of the Lord (hall not return, until 
he have executed, and till he have performed the 
thoughts of his heart :. in the latter days ye fhall con- 
fider it perfectly. 

21 ' I have not lent thcie prophets, yet they ran ; 
I have not fpoken to them, yet they prophefied. 

22 But if they had Hood in my counfel, and had 
caufed my people to hear my words, then they fhould 
have turned them from, their evil. way, and from the 
evil of their doings.. 

23 Am I a God at hand, faith the Lord, and not 
a God afar off: 

24 Can any m hide himfelf in fecret places, that 
I ihall not fee him ? faith the Lord : do not I fill

25 I'have heard what the prophets laid, that proph- 
efy lies in my name, faying, I have dreamed, I have- 
dreamed.. 

26 Flow long fhall this be in the heart of the proph-

deceit of their own heart ; 

27 Which think to caufe my people to forget my 
name by their dreams, which they tell every man to 
his neighbour, n as their fathers have forgotten my 
name for Baa).

CHAP. XXV. 
1 Jeremiah, reproving the Jews'* disobedience to God's 
messages by the prophets, 8 foretelleth the seventy 
years' captivity, 12 and the succeeding destruction 
of Babylon. 15 Under the type of a cup of wine, he 
foresheweth the overthrow of divers nations, &c. 
~* HE word that came to Jeremiah concerning all 
the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Je.ho- 
iakim thefon of Joiiah king of Judah, that was the 
iirii year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon ; 

2 The which Jeremiah the prophet ipake unto ail 
the people of Judah, and to all the inhabitants of Je- 
rufalem, faying, 

3 From the thirteenth year of Jonah the fon of Anion 
king of Judah, even unto this day, (that is the three 
and twentieth year,) the word of the Lord hath come 
unto me, and I have fpeken unto you, rifmg early and 
ipeaking ; but ye have not hearkened. 

4 And the Lord hath fent unto you all his fervants 
the prophets, a riling early and fending them ; but ye 
have not hearkened, nor inclined your ear to hear. 

5 They faid, b Turn ye again now every one from 
his evil way, and from the evil of your doings, and 
dwell in the land that the Lord hath given unto you 
and to your fathers for ever and ever : 

6 And go not after other gods to ferve them, and 
toworfhipthem, and provoke, me not to anger with 
the works of your hands, and I will do you no hurt. 

7 Yet ye have not hearkened unto me, faith the 
Lord; that ye might provoke me to anger with the 
works of your hands to your own hurt. 

8 ^Therefore thus faith the Lord of holts, Becaufe 
ye have not heard my words, 

9 Behold, I 

north, faith the Lord, and Nebuchadrezzar the king 
of Babylon my fervant, and will_ bring thern againft 
this land, and againft the inhabitants thereof, and 
againft all thefc nations round about, and will utterly 
deftroy them, and make them an aftonifhment, and 
an hilling, and perpetual defolations. 

10 Moreover. + I will take from them the c voice 
of mirth, and the voice of gladnefs, the voice of the 
bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the found of 
the millftones, and the light of the cafidlc. 

11 And this whole land fhall be a defolation, and 
an aftonifhment ; and thefe nations fliall ferve the 
king of Babylon feventy years.

13 And I will bring upon that land all my words 
which I have pronounced againft it, even all that is «4kg°

againft all the nations. 

14 Formany nations and great kings fhall e ferve e chap. 277.

caufe all the nations, to whom I fend thee, to drink it. 

16 And they fliall drink,, and be moved, and be mad, 
becaufe of the fword that I will fend among them. 

17 Then took I the cup at the Lord's hand, and 
made all the nations to drink, unto whom the Lord 
had fent me : 

18 To wit, Jerufalem, and the cities of Judah, and 
the kings thereof, and the princes thereof, to make

C H A P. XXVI. 

1 Jeremiah exhorting the people with severe threats 
to. repentance, 8 is apprehended and arraigned be- 
fore the princes ; 12 his apology : 16 He is acquitted 
by the example of Micah.^ 

IN the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim, the fon 
of Jonah king of Judah, came this word from the 
Lord, faying, 

2 Thus faith the Lord, Stand in the court of the 
Lord's houfe, and fpeak unto all the cities of Judah, 
which come to worfhip in the Lord's houfe, all the 
words that I command thee to fpeak unto them ; a di- 
minifjh not a word. 

3 If fo be they will hearken, and turn every man 
from his evil way, that I may b repent me of the evil 
which I purpofe to do unto them, becaufe of the evil 
of their doings. 

4 And thou fhalt fay unto them, Thus faith the 
Lord, If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my 
law, which I have fet before you, 

5 To hearken to the words of my fervants the proph- 
ets whom I fent unto you, both rifing up early, and 
fending them, but ye have not hearkened ; 

6 Then will I make this houfe like c Shiloh, and will 
make this city a curfe to all the nations of the earth. 

7 So the priefts, and the prophets, and all the peo- 
ple, heard Jeremiah fpcaking theie words in the houfe 
of the Lord. 

8 If Now it came topafs, when Jeremiah had made 
an end of fpcaking. all that the Lord had commanded 
him to fpeak unto all the people, that the priefts, and 
the prophets, and all the people, took him, faying, 
Thou fhalt furely die. 

9 Why haft thou prophefied in the name of the 
Lord, faying, This houfe fhall be like Shiloh, and 
this city fhall be defolate without an inhabitant ? And 
ail the people were gathered againft Jeremiah in the 
houfe of the Lord. 

10 When the princes of Judah heard thefe things, 
then they came up from the king's houfe unto the 
houfe of "the Lord, and fat down || in the entry of the 
new gate of the Lord's houfe.

11 Then fpakc the priefts and the prophets unto 
the princes, and to all the people, faying, f This man 
is worthy to die ; for he hath prophefied againft this 
city, as ye have heard with your ears. 

12 TI Then fpake Jeremiah unto all the princes, 
and to all the people, faying, The Lord fent me to 
prophefy againft this houfe'; and againft this city, ail 
the words that ye have heard. 

13 Therefore now d amend your ways and your 
doings, and obey the voice of the Lord your God, 
and the Lord will e repent him of the evil that he 
hath pronounced againft you. 

14 As for me, behold, I am in your hand ; -do with 
me f as feemcth good and meet unto you : 

15 But know ye for certain, that if ye put me to 
death, ye fhall furely bring innocent blood upon your- 
felves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants 
thereof-: for of a truth the Lord hath fent me unto 
you, to fpeak all theie words in your cars. 

16 Ti Then faid the princes and ail the people unto 
the priefts, and to the prophets, This man is not wor- 
thy to die : for he hath fpokeii to us in the name of 
the Lord our God. 

17 Then rofe up certain of the ciders of the land, 
and fpake to all the affembly of the people, faying, 

18 f Micah the Morafthite prophefied in the days 
of Hezekiah king of Judah, and fpake to ail the peo- 
ple of Judah, faying, Thus faith the Lord of hofts, 7, °- 
s Zion fhall be ploughed like a field, and Jerufalem f^ 03 * 
fhall become heaps, and the mountain of the houfe, 

as the high places of a foreft. 

_ 19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah, and all Judah, put 
him at all to death ? did he not fear the Lord, and 
befought f die Lord, and the Lord repented him of +neb.ihe 
the evil which he had pronounced againft them ? Tims lord.' 16 
might we procure great evil againft our fouls. 

20 And there was alfo a man that prophefied in the 
name of the LoRD,Urijah the fon of Shemaiah of 
Kirjathjearim, who prophefied againft this city, and 
againft thisland, according to all the words of Jeremiah : 

21 And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his 
mighty men, and all the princes heard his words, the 
king fought to put him to death ; but when Urijah 
heard it he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt. 

22 And Jehoiakim the king lent men into Egypt, 
namely., Elnathan the fon of Achbor, and certain men 
with him, into Egypt : 

23 And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egygt, and 
brought him unto Jehoiakim the king, who flew him 
with the fword, and caft his dead body into the graves . 
of the f common people. 

24 Neverthelefs, the hand of Ahikam the fon of *

him into the hand of the people to put him to death.

4 And command them || to fay unto their mafters, 
Thus faith the Lord of hofts, the God of Ifrael, Thus 
fhall ye fay unto your mafters, 

5 I have made the earth, the man and the beaft that 
are upon the ground, by my great power, and by my 
ouiftretched arm, and a have given it unto whom it 
feemed meet unto me. 

6 And now have I given all thefe lands into the 
hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, b my 
fervant, and the beafts of the field have I given him 
alfo to ferve him. 

m 7 And all nations fhall ferve him, and his fon, and 
his fon's fon, until the very time of his land come ; 
and then many nations and great kings fhall ferve 
themfelves of him. 

8 And it fhall come to pafs, that the nation and 
kingdom which will not ferve the fame Nebuchad- 
nezzar the king of Babylon, and that will not put 
their neck under the yoke ofthe king of Babylon, that 
nation will I punifh, faith the Lord, with the fword, 
and with the famine, and Math the peftilence, until I 
have confumed them by his hand. 

9 Therefore, hearken not ye to your prophets, nor 
to your diviners, nor to your f dreamers, nor to your 
enchanters, nor to your forcerers, which fpeak unto 
you, faying, Ye fhall not ferve the king of Babylon : 

10 For they prophefy a lie unto you, to remove you 
far from your land ; and that I fhould drive you out, 
and ye fhould perifh. 

1 1 But the nations that bring their neck under the 
yoke ofthe king of Babylon, and ferve him, thofe will 
I let remain ftill in their own land, faith the Lord ; 
and they fhall till it, and dwell therein. 

12 If I fpake alfo to Zedekiah king of Judah, accord- 
ing to all thefe words, faying, Bring your necks under 
the yoke ofthe king of Babylon, and ferve him and 
his people, and live. « 

13 Why will ye die, thou and thy people, by the 
fword, by the famine, and by the peftilence, as the 
Lord hath fpoken againft the nation that will not 
ferve the king of Babylon ? 

14 Therefore hearken not unto the words of the 
prophets that fpeak unto you, faying, Ye fhall not 
ferve the king of Babylon : for they prophefy c a lie 
unto you. 

15 For I have not fent them, faith the Lord, yet 
they prophefy a t he in my name, that I might drive 
you out, and that ye might perifh, ye, and the proph- 
ets that prophefy unto you. 

16 If Alfo I fpake to the priefts, and to all this peo-

words of your prophets that prophefy unto you, fay- 
ing, Behold, the veffels ofthe Lord's houfe fhall now 
fhortly be brought again from Babylon : for they 
prophefy a lie unto you. 

17 Hearken not unto them, ferve the king of Baby- 
lon, and live : wherefore fhould this city be laid wafte ?

1 Hananiah'- 's false prophecy ofthe return ofthe ves- 
sels, ye. within tvjo years. 5 Jeremiah wishing it 
to he true, appealeth to the event. 10 Hananiah 
breaketh Jeremiah's yoke. 12 Jeremiah, under the 
type of an iron yoke, confirmeth the prophecy of the 
nation' 's subjection to Nebuchadnezzar : \5hefore- 
telleth Hananiah' 1 's death. 

AND it came to pafs, the fame year, in the begin- 
ning ofthe reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, in 
the fourth year, and in the. fifth month, that Hananiah 
the fon of Azur the prophet, which was of Gibeon, 
fpake unto me in the houfe ofthe Lord, in the pres- 
ence ofthe priefts, and of all the people, faying, 

2 Thus fpeaketh the Lord of hofts, the God of Ifrael, 
faying, I have broken the yoke ofthe king of Babylon, 

3 Within f two full years will I bring again" into +Heb.«w 
this place all the veffels ofthe Lord's houfe, that Neb- years ° fdays ' 
uchadnezzar king of Babylon took away from this 
place, and carried them to Babylon. 

4 And I will bring again to this place Jeconiah the 
fon of Jehoiakim king of Judah, with all the t captives J^W 
of Judah that went into Babylon, faith the Lord ; for 
I will break the yoke ofthe king of Babylon. 

5 If Then the prophet Jeremiah faicl unto the prophet 
Hananiah, in the prefence of the priefts, and in the 
prefence of all the people that ftood in the houfe of the 
Lord, 

6 Even the prophet Jeremiah faid, Amen : the 
Lord do fo; the Lord perform thy words which thou 
haft prophefied, to bring again the veffels of the 
Lord's houfe, and all that is carried away captive, 
from Babylon into this place. 

7 Nevertheless, hear thou now this word that I 
fpeak in thine ears, and in the ears of all the people ; 

8 The prophets that have been before me, and be- 
fore thee of old, prophefied both againft many coun- 
tries, and againft great kingdoms of war, and of evil, 
and of peftilence. 

9 The prophet which prophefieth of peace, w hen the 
word ofthe prophet fhall come to pafs, then fhall the 
prophet be known that the Lord hath truly fent him. 

10 If Then Hananiah the prophet took the a yoke 
from off the prophet Jeremiah's neck, and brake it. 

11 And Hananiah fpake in the prefence of all the 
people, faying, Thus faith the Lord, Even fo will I 
break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon 
from the neck of all nations within the fpace of two 
full years. And the prophet Jeremiah went his way. 

12 If Then the word of the Lord came unto Jer- 
emiah the prophet, (after that Hananiah th«. prophet

thou ihalt make for them yokes of iron. 

14 For thus faith the Lord of hofts, the God of 
Ifrael, I have put a yoke of iron upon the neck of all 
thefe nations, that they may ferve Nebuchadnezzar 
king of Babylon ; and they fhall ferve him : and I 
have given him the beafts of the field alfo. 

15'1f Then faid the prophet Jeremiah unto Hananiah 

the prophet,Hear now.Hananiah ; The Lord hath not 

fent thee : but thou makeft this people to truft in a lie. 

16 Therefore thus faith the Lord, Behold, I will

CHAP. XXIX. 
1 Jeremiah by a letter adviseth the captives in Baby- 
Ion to live quietly there, 8 and not to believe the illu- 
sions of their false prophets : 10 he assureth them of 
a gracious return after seventy years, 15 and fore- 
tcfleth the destruction of those that remained at Je- 
rusalem : 20 he sheweth the fearful end of two of 
their lying prophets. 24 Shemaiah having written 
a letter from Babylon against Jeremiah, 30 his doom 
is likewise foretold. 
$09- "^rOW thefe are the words of the letter that Jere- 
JlN miah the prophet fent from Jerufalem unto the 
refidue of the elders which were carried away cap- 
tives, and to the priefts, and to the prophets, and to 
all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had carried 
away captive from Jerufalem to Babylon. 

2 (After that a Jeconiahthe king, and the queen, 
and the |] eunuchs, the princes of Judah and Jerufa- 
lem, and the carpenters, and the fmiths, were de- 
parted from Jerufalem ;) 

3 By the hand of Elafah the fon of Shaphan, and 
Gemariah the fon of Hilkiah, (whom Zedekiah king 
of Judah fent unto Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king 
of Babylon,) faying, 

4 Thus faith theLoRD of hofts, the God of!frael,unto 
all that are carried away captives, whom I have caufed 
to be carried away from Jerufalem unto Babylon. 

5 Build ye houfes, and dwell in them ; and plant 
gardens, and eat the fruit of them : 

6 Take ye wives, and beget fons and daughters ; and 
take wives for your fons, and give your daughters to 
hufbands, that they may bear fons and daughters ; that 
ye may be increafed there, and not diminilhed. 

7 And feekthe peace of the city whither I have cauf- 
ed you to be carried away captives, and pray unto the 
Lor Dfor it : for in the peace thereof fhall ye have peace. 

8 If For thus faith the Lord of hofts, the God of 
Ifrael, Let not your prophets and your diviners, that 

^23 P 2i', 4 6- 4, be iw the midft of you, b deceive you, neither hearken 
to your dreams which ye caufe to be dreamed. 

9 For they prophefy f falfely unto you in my name : 
I have not lent them, faith the Lor d. 

10 If For thus faith the Lord, That after c feventy 
years be accomplished at Babylon, I will vifit you, 
and perform my good word toward you, in caufing 
you to return to this place.

13 And ye fhall feek me and find me, when ye fhall 
fearch for me with all your heart. 

14 And I will be found of you, faith the Lord ; 
and I will turn away your captivity, and I will gather 
you from all the nations, and from all the places 
whither I have driven you, faith the Lord; and I 
will bring you again into the place whence I caufed 
you to be carried away captive. 

15 If Becaufe ye have faid, the Lord hath raifed us 
up prophets in Babylon ; 

16 Know that thus faith the Lord, of the king that 
fitteth upon the throne cf David, and of all the people 
that dwelleth in this city, and of your brethren that 
are not gone forth with you into captivity ;

fend upon them the e fword, the famine, and the pefti- « ch ap .

be eaten, they are fo evil. 

18 And I will perfecute them with the fword, with 
the famine, and with the peftiience, and will deliver 
them to be removed to all the kingdoms of the earth,

but ye would not hear, faith the Lord. 

20 If Hear ye, therefore, the word of the Lord, all 
3 r e of the captivity, whom I have fent from Jerufalem 
to Babylon : 

21 Thus faith the Lord of hofts, the God of Ifrael, 
of Ahab the fon of Kolaiah, and of Zedekiah the fon 
of Maafeiah, which prophefy a lie unto you in my 
name, Behold, I will deliver them into the hand of 
Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon ; and he (hall flay 
them before your eyes : 

22 And of them fhall be taken up a curfe by all the 
captivity of Judah which are in Babylon, faying, The 
Lord make thee like Zedekiah, and like Ahab, whom 
the king of Babylon roafted in the fire ; 

23 Becaufe they have committed villany in Ifrael, 
and have committed adultery with their neighbours' 
wives, and have fpoken lying words in my name, 
which I have not commanded them ; even I know,

JERE 

This captivity is long : build ye houfes, and dwell in 
them; and plant gardens, and eat the fruit -of them. 

29 And Zephaniah the prieit. read this letter in the 
ears of Jeremiah the prophet. 

30 Tf Then came the word of the Lord unto Jere- 
miah, faying, 

31 Send to all them of the captivity, faying, Thus 
faith the Lord concerning Shemaiah the Nehelamite, 
Becaufe that Shemaiah hath prophefied unto you, and 
I fent him not, and he caufed you to truft in a he ; 

32 Therefore thus faith the Lord, Behold, I will 
punilh Shemaiah the Nehelamite, and his feed : he 
fhall not have a man to dwell among this people ; nei- 
ther fhal! he behold the good that I will do for my peo- 
ple, faith the Lord ; ; becaufe he hath taught f rebel- 
lion againft the Lord. 

C H A P. XXX. 
1 God shewcth Jeremiah the return of the jews, 4 and 
their deliverance out of trouble : \Ohe comforteth Ja- 
cob, 18 and promise tk the \Jevjs a gracious re-estab- 
lishment. 23 Wrath shall 'fall on the wicked. 
r TP HE word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, 
JL faying, 

2 Thus fpeaketh the Lord God of Ifrael, faying, 
Write thee all the words that I have fpoken unto thee 
in a book : 

3 For, lo, the days come, faith the Lord, that I 
will bring again the captivity of my people Ifrael and 
Judah, faith the Lord ; and I wilheaufe them to re- 
turn to the land that I gave to their lathers, and they 
fhall poffefs it. 

4 % And thefe are the words that the Lord fpake 
concerning IfiaeL and concerning Judah. 

5 For thus faith the Lord, We have heard a voice 
| or,there-s of trembling, i| of {ear, and not of peace. 

6 All: ye now, and fee whether t a man doth trav- 
ail with child ? wherefore do I fee every man with his 
hands on his loins, as a woman in travail, and all faces 
are turned ino palenefs ? 

7 a Alas ! for that day is great, fo that none is like 
it : it is even the time of Jacob's trouble ; but he fhall 
be laved out of it. 

8 For it fhall come to pafs in that day, faith the 
Lord of hefts, that I will break his yoke from oil* thy 
neck, and will burfl thy bonds, and ■ ltrangers ihall 
no moreierve themfelves of him : 

9 But they fhall ferve "the Lord the' r God, and 
b David their king, whom I will raite up unto them. 

10 H Therefore, c fear thou not, O my fervant Jacob, 
faith die Lord, neither be difmaj ed, O Ifrael ; for, lo, 
I will fave thee from afar, and thy ieed from the land 
of their captivity ; and Jacob ihall return, and fhall be 
in relt and be quiet, and none fhail make him afraid. 

11 For I am with thee, faith the Lord, to lave thee : 
though I make a full end of all nations whither I have 
feattered thee, yet will I not make a full end of thee ; 
but I will correct thee d in meafure, and will not leave 
thee altogether unpunifhed. 

12 For thus faith the Lord, Thy bruife is incurable, 
and thy wound is grievous. 

13 There is none to plead thy caufe, f that thou 
w,premng. mayeft be bound up : thou haft no healing medicines. 

14 All thy lovers have forgotten thee ; they leek 
thee not : for I have wounded thee with the wound 
of an enemy, with the chaftifement of a cruel one,

10 Hear the word ofthe Lord, O ye nations, and 
declare it in the iiles afar off; and fay, He that {batter- 
ed Ifrael, will gather him, and keep him, as a lhepherd 
doth his flock. 

11 For the Lord hath redeemed Jacob, and ran- 
fomed him from the hand of him that was ftronger

12 Therefore they fhall come andfing in the height 
of Zion, and lhall flow together to the goodnefs of the

the young of the flock and of the herd : and their fouls 

siadab^ir. fhall be as a c watered garden ; and they ihall not for- 
ro.v any more at all. 

13 Then ihall the virgin rejoice in the dance, both 
young men and old together : for I will turn their 
mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make 
them rejoice from their forrow. 

14 And I will fatiate the foul ofthe priefts with fat-

faith the Lord.

Ramah, Lamentation, and bitter weeping, Rachel

16 Thus faith the Lord, Refrain thy voice from 
seeping, and thine eyes from tears ; for thy work ihall 
be rewarded, faith the Lord ; and they fliall come 
again from the land ofthe enemy. 

17 And there is hope' in thine end, faith the Lord,

feW thus, Thou halt chaitifed me, and I was chaftifed,

19 Surely e after that I was turned, I repented ; and 
after that I was inftrucled, I {'mete upon my thigh : I

1 Jeremiah, imprisoned by Zcdekiah for his prophesy 
against Jerusalem ; 6 by God's direction he buyeth 
Hanameel'- 's field. 13 Baruch is charged to preserve 
the evidences, as tokens of the people's return. 16 
Jeremiah in his prayer expostulated with God. 26 
God confirmeth his threats against Judah, 36 and 
his promise of a gracious return. 

THE word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, 
in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, 
which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar. 

2 For then the king of Babylon's army befieged 
Jerufalem ; and Jeremiah the prophet was fhut up in 
the court of the prifon, which was in the king of Ju- 
dah 's houfe. 

3 For Zedekiah king of Judah had ihut him up, 
faying, Wherefore doft thou prophefy, and fay, Thus 
faith the Lord, » Behold, I will give this city into the 
hand of the king of Babylon, and he fhall take it ; 

4 And Zedekiah king of Judah b fhall not efcape out 
of the hand of the Chaldeans, but fhail furely be deliv- 
ered into the hand of the king of Babylon, and fhall 
fpeak with him mouth to mouth, and his eyes lhall 
behold bis eyes : 

5 And he fhall lead Zedekiah to Babylon, and there 
fhall he be until I vifit him, faith the Lord : though 
ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye fhall not profper. 

6 II And Jeremiah faid, The word of 'the Lord 
came unto me, faying, 

7 Behold, Hanameel the fon of Shallum, thine un- 
cle, fhall come unto thee, faying, Buy thee my field 
that is in Anathoth ; for the c right of redemption is 
thine to buy it. 

8 So Hanameel, mine uncle's fon, came to me in 
the court of the prifon, according to the word of the 
Lord, and faid unto me, Buy my field, I pray thee, 
that is in Anathoth, which is in the country of Benja- 
min : for the right of inheritance is thine, and the re- 
demption 'is thine ; buy it for thyfelf. Then I knew 
that this was the word of the Lord. 

9 And I bought the field of Hanameel my uncle's 
fon, that was in Anathoth, and weighed him the 
money, even || feventeen fhekels of filver. 

10 And 1 1 fubferibed the evidence, and fealed it, 
; and took witneffes, and weighed him the money in 

the balances. 

11 So I took the evidence of the purchafe, both that 
which was fealed according to the law and cuftom, and 
that which was open : 

12 And I gave the evidence of the purchaie unto 
Baruch the fon of Neriah, the fon of Maafeiah, in the 
fight of Hanameel mine uncle's son, and in the pref- 
ence of the witneffes that fubferibed the book of the 
purchafe, before all the Jews that fat in the court of the 
prifon. 

13 11 And I charged Baruch before them, faying, 

14 Thus faith the Lord of hofts, the God of Ifrael, 
Take thefe evidences, this evidence of the purchafe, 
(both which is fealed,) and this evidence which is 
open, and put them in an earthen yeffel, that they may 
continue many days. 

15 For thus faith the Lord of hofts, the God of 
Ifrael, Homes, and fields, and vineyards, fhall be pof- 
feffed again in this land.

the purchafe unto Baruch the fon of Neriah, I prayed 
unto the Lord, faying, 

17 Ah Lord God ! behold, thou haft made the 
heaven and the earth by thy great power and ftretched 
out arm, and there is nothing || too hard for thee : 

18 Thou fheweft d loving kindnefs unto thoufands, 
and recompenfeft the iniquity of the fathers into the 
bofom of their children after them : The Great, The 
mighty God, The Lord of holts is his name ; 

19 Great in counfel, and mighty in f work : (for 
thine e eyes are open upon all the ways of the fons of e J ob 3+ =<• 
men, to give every one according to his ways, and SEJ/tlii 
according to the fruit of his doings :) 

20 Which haft fet figns and wonders in the land of 
Egypt, even unto this day, and in Ifrael, and among 
other men ; and haft made thee a name, as at this day ; 

21 And f haft brought forth thy people Ifrael out of Vs£tf£ 
the land of Egypt with figns, and with wonders, and »cbS'ir?i! 
with a ftrong hand, and with a ftretched out arm, and 

with great terror ; 

22 And haft given them this land, which thou didft 
fwear to their fathers to give them, aland flowing with 
milk and honey ; 

23 And they came in and poffeffed it ; but they 
obeyed not thy voice, neither walked in thy law : they 
have done nothing of all that thou commandedft them 
to do ; therefore thou haft caufed all this evil to come 
upon them. 

> 24 Behold the || mounts, they are come unto the "i 
city to take it ; and the city is given into the hand of 
the Chaldeans that fight againft it, becaufe of the 
fvvord, and of the famine, and of the peftilence, and 
what thou haft fpoken is come to pafs ; and, behold, 
thou feeft it. 

25 And thou haft faid unto me, O Lord God, 
Buy thee the field for money, and take witneffes ; for 
the city is given into the hand of the Chaldeans, 

26 \ Then came the word of the Lord unto Jere- 
miah, faying, 

27 Behold, I am the Lord, the e God of all flefh : 
is there any thing too hard for me ? 

28 Therefore, thus faith the Lord, Behold, I will 
give this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into 
the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he 
fhall take it, 

29 And the Chaldeans, that fight againft this city, 
fhall come and fet fire on this city, and burn it, with 

the houfes h upon whofe roofs they have offered incenfe bch:1 P' 
unto Baal, and poured out drink offerings unto other ' ! 
gods, to provoke me to anger. 

30 For the children of Ifrael, and the children of 
Judah, have only done evil before me from their 
youth : for the children of Ifrael have only provoked 
me to anger with the work of their hands, faith the 
Lord. 

• 31 For this city hath been to me as t a provocation ™f-f£ 
of mine anger and of my fury, from the day that they "' 
built it even unto this day, that I fhould remove it 
from before my face ; 

32 Becaufe of all the evil of the children of Ifrael, 
and of the children of Judah, which they have done to 
provoke me to anger, they, their kings, their princes, 
their priefts, and their prophets, and the men of* Judah, 
and the inhabitants of Jerufalem, 

33 And they have turned unto me the f { back, fS*f|J 
and not the face ; though I taught them, rifing up 

early,

and the fate of Zedekiah. 8 The princes and people 
having, according to covenant, dismissed their bond 
servants, afterward reassame them. 1 2 Jeremiah 
proclaimcth liberty to the sword, &V. andprophesicth 
the return of the Babylonians. 

THE word which came unto Jeremiah from the 
Lord, a when Nebuchadnezzar king of Baby- 
lon, and all his arnry, and all the kingdoms of the earth 
t of his dominion, and all the people, fought againft 
Jerufalem, and againft all the cities thereof, faying, 

2 Tims faith the Lord, the God of Ifrael ; Go, and 
fpeak to Zedekiah king of Judah, and tell him, Thus 
faith the Lord, Behold, I will give this city into the 
hand of the king of Babylon, and he fliall burn it with 
fire : 

3 And b thou fhalt not efcape out of his hand, but 
fhalt furely be taken, and delivered into his hand ; and 
thine eyes Hi all behold the eyes of the king of Baby- 
lon, and f he fhall fpeak with thee mouth to mouth, 
and thou fhalt go to Babylon. 

4 Yet hear the word of the Lord, O Zedekiah 
king of Judah ; Thus faith the Lord of thee, Thou 
ill alt not die by the fvvord ; 

.5 But thou fhalt die in peace : and with the burn- 
ings of thy fathers, the former kings which were be- 
fore thee, ib fliall they burn odours for thee ; and they 
will lament thee, saying, Ah lord ! for I have pro- 
nounced the word, faith the Lord.. 

6 Then Jeremiah the prophet fpake all thefe words 
unto Zedekiah king of Judah in Jerufalem, 

7 When the king of Babylon's army fought againft 
Jerufalem, and againft all the cities of Judah that were 
left, againft Lachifh, and againft Azekah : for thefe 
defenced cities remained of the cities of Judah. 

8 U This is the word that came unto Jeremiah from 
the Lord, after that the king Zedekiah had made a 
covenant with all the people which were at Jerufalem, 

■ to proclaim. 'liberty unto them ; 

9 That every man fliould let his manfervant, and 
every man Ins maidfervant, being an Hebrew or an 
Hebrewefs, go free ; that none llioulel ferve himfelf oi 
them, to wit, of a Jew his brother. 

10 Now, when all the princes, and all the people, 
which had entered into the covenant, heard that every 
one lhould let his manfervant and every one his maid- 
fervant go free, that none fliould ferve themfelves 
of them any more ; then they obeyed, and let them 
go. 

11 But afterward they turned, and earned the ferv- 
ants and the handmaids, whom they had let go free. 



The bond servants dismissed J EREMIA H. 

24 Confielereft thou not what tins people havefpok- 
cn, faying, The two families which the Lord hath 
chofen, he hath even call them off ? Thus they Tiave 
defpifeel my people, that they fliould be no more a na- 
tion before them. 

25 Thus Faith the Lord, If my covenant be not 
with day and night, „andif I have not appointed the 
ordinances of heaven and earth ; 

26 Then will I call away the feed of Jacob, and 
David my fervant, so that I will not take any of his feed 
to be rulers over the feed of Abraham, Ifaac, ana Ja- 
cob ; fori will caufe their captivity to return, and 
have mercy on them.

make you f to be e removed into all the kingdoms of ?%%%.*

18 And I will give the men that have tranfgreffed my 
covenant, which have not performed the words of the 
covenant which they had made before me, when they 
cut the calf in twain, and puffed between the parts 
thereof, 

19 The princes of Judah, and the princes of Jerufa-

the land, which palled between the parts of the calf; 

20 I will even give them into the hand of their ene- 
mies, and into the hand of them that feek their life ; 
and their f elead bodies fliall be for meat unto the fowls 
of the heaven, and to the beafts of the earth. 

21 AndZedekiah king of Judah, and his princes will 
I give into the hand of their enemies, and into the hand 
of them that feek their life, and into the hand of the 
king of Babylon's army, which are gone up from you. 

22 Behold, I will command, faith the Lord, and 
caufe them to return to this city ; and they fliall fight 
againft it, and take it, and burn it with fire : and I will 
make the cities of Judah a defolation without an in-

2 Go unto the houfe of the Rechabites, and fpeak

feiah the fon of Shallum , the keeper of the f door : 

5 And I fet before the _ fons of the houfe of the 
Rechabites, pots full of wine, and cups ; and I faid 
unto them, Drink ye wine. 

6 But they faid, We will drink no wine : for Jo- 
nadab the fon of Rcchcb, our father, commanded us, 
laying, Ye fhall drink no wane, neither ye nor your 
fons for ever : 

7 Neither fhall ye build houfe, nor fow feed, nor 
plant vineyard, nor have any : but_ all your days ye 
fhall dwell in tents, that ye may live many days in 
the land where ye be ftrangers. 

8 Thus have we obeyed the voice of Jonadab the 
fon of Rechab, our father, in all that he hath charged 
«s, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our 
fons, nor our daughters ; 

9 Nor to build houfes for us to dwell in ; neither 
have we vineyard, nor field, nor feed : 

10 But we have dwelt in tents, and have obeyed, 
and done according to all that Jonadab our father 
commanded us. 

11 But it came to pafs, when Nebuchadrezzar 
king of Babylon came up into the land, that we faid, 
Come, and let us go to Jerufalem for fear of the army 
of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the 
Syrians : lb we dwell at Jerufalem. 

12 1[ Then came the word of the Lord unto Jere-

13 Thus faith the Lord of hoils, the God of Ifrael, 
Go, and tell the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of 
Jerufalem, Will ye not receive inftruclion to hearken 
to my words? faith the Lord. 

14 The words of Jonadab the fon of Rechab, that 
he commanded his fons not to drink wine are per- 
formed : for unto this day they drink none, but obey 
their father's commandment : notwithftanding, I have 
fpoken unto you, rifing early, and fpeaking; but ye 
hearkened not unto me. 

15 I have fent alio unto you all my fervants the

a Return ye now every man from his evil way, and 
amend your doings, and go not after other gods to 
fervethem, and ye fhall clweil in the land which I 
have given to you, and to your fathers ; but ye have 
not inclined your ear, nor hearkened unto me. 

16 Becaufe the fons of Jonadab the fon of Rechab 
have performed the commandment of their father, 
which he commanded them, but this people hath not 
hearkened unto mc ; 

17 Therefore, thus faith the Lord God of holts,

fpoken unto them, but they have not heard ; and I 
have called unto them, but they have not anfwered. 

18 U And Jeremiah faid unto the houfe of the Rech-

Jeremiah causeth Baruch to write alibis threatening 
prophecies, and to read them publicly. 1 1 The prin- 
ces send for Baruch to bring the roll, who readeth it 
before them ; they are afraid, and counsel Jeremiah 
and Baruch to hide themselves : 20 the king heareth 
part of it, andburnetb the roll. 27 Jeremiah denouu- 
ceth a heavy judgment against the king. 32 Baruch 
writeth a new copy, Esfc. 
ND it came to pals in the fourth year of Jehoia- 
kim, the fon of Jofiah king of Judah, that this 
word came unto Jeremiah from the Lord, laying, 

2 Take thee a roll of a book, and write therein all 
the words that I have fpoken unto thee againit Ifrael, 
and againft Judah, and againit all the nations, from 
the day I fpake unto thee, from the days of a Jofiah 
even unto this day. 

3 It may be that the houfe of Judah will hear all 
the evil which I purpofe to do unto them ; that they 
may return every man from his evil way, that I may 
forgive their iniquity and their fin. 

4 Then Jeremiah called Baruch the fon of Neriah : 
and Baruch wrote from the mouth of Jeremiah all 
the words of the Lord, which he had fpoken unto 
him, upon a roll of a book. 

5 And Jeremiah commanded Baruch, faying, I am 
fhut up ; I cannot go into the houfe of the Lord. 

6 Therefore go thou, and read in the roll, which thou 
halt written from my mouth, the words of the Lord, 
in the ears of the people in the Lord's houfe upon 
the failing day : and alfo thou fhalt read them in the 
ears of all Judah that come out of their cities. 

7 It may be f they will prefent their {implication 
before the Lord, and will return every one from his 
evil way : for great is the anger and the fury that the 
Lord hath pronounced againft this people. 

8 And Baruch the fon of Neriah did according 
to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded him, 
reading in the book the words of the Lord, in the 
Lord's houfe. 

9 And it came to pafs, in the fifth year of Jehoia- 
kim, the fon of Jofiah, king of Judah, in the ninth 
month, that they proclaimed a fait before the Lord to 
all the people in Jerufalem, and to all the people 
that came from the cities of Judah unto Jerufalem. 

10 Then read Baruch in the book the words of 
Jeremiah in the houfe of the Lord, in the chamber 
of Gemariah, the fon of Shaphan the fcribe, in the 
higher court at the || b entry of the new gate of the 
Lord's houfe, in the ears of all the people. 

11 TI When Michaiah the fon of Gemariah, the fon 
of Shaphan, had heard out of the book all the* words 
of the Lord, 

12 Then he went down into the king's houfe, into 
the fcribe's chamber, -and, lo, all the princes fat there, 
even Elifhama the fcribe, and Delaiah the fon of She- 
maiah, and Elnathan the fon of Achbor, and Gema- 
riah the fon of Shaphan, and Zedekiah the fon of 
Hananiah, and all the princes. 

13 Then Michaiah declared unto them all the words 
that he had heard, when Baruch read the book in the 
ears of the people. 

14 Therefore all the princes fent Jchudi the fon of 
Nethaniah, the fon of Shclemiah, the fon of Cuihi,

.his hand and came unto them. 

15 And they laid unto him, Sit down now, and 
read it in our ears. So Baruch read it in their ears. 

16 Now it came to pals, when they had heard all 
the words, they were afraid, both one and other, and 
faid unto Baruch, We will furely tell the king of all 
theTe words. 

17 And they afked Baruch, faying, Tell us now, 
how didft thou write all thefe words at his mouth ? 

18 Then Baruch anfwered them, He pronounced 
all thefe words unto me with his mouth, and I wrote 
them with ink in the book. 

19 Then faid the princes unto Baruch, Go, hide 
thee, thou and Jeremiah ; and let no man know 
where ye be. 

20 II And they went in to the king into the court, 
but they laid up the roll in the ehamberof Elilhamathe 
fcribe, and told all the words in the ears of the king. 

21 So the king fent Jehudi to fetch the roll ; and he 
took it out of Elilliama the fcribe's chamber : and 
Jehudi read it in the ears of the king, and in the ears 
of all the princes which flood befide the king, 

22 Now the king fat in the winter houfe in the 
ninth month : and there was a fire on the hearth 
burning before him. 

23 And it came to pafs, that, when Jehudi had read 
three or four leaves, he cut it with the penknife, and 
caft it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the 
roll was confumed in the fire that was on the hearth. 

24 Yet they were not afraid, nor rent their gar- 
ments, neither the king, nor any of his fervants that 
heard all thefe words. 

25 Neverthelefs, Elnathan, and Delaiah, and Ge- 
mariah, had made interceffion to the king that he 
would pot burn the roll ; but he would not hear them. 

26 But the king commanded Jerahmeel the fon || of 
Hamelech, and Seraiah the fon of Azriel, and Shele- 
miah the fon of Abdeel, to take Baruch the fcribe, 
and Jeremiah the prophet : but the Lord hid them. 

27 H Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, 
after that the king had burnt the roll, and the words 
which Baruch wrote at the mouth of Jeremiah, faying, 

28 Take thee again another roll, and write in it all 
the former words that were in the firft roll, which Je- 
hoiakim the king of Judah hath burnt. 

29 And thou fhalt fay to Jehoiakim king of Judah, 
Thus faith the Lord, Thou haft burnt this roll, faying, 
Why haft thou written therein, faying, The king of 
Babylon fhall certainly come and deftroy this land, 
and fhall caufe to ceafe from thence man and beaft ? 

30 Therefore, thus faith the Lord of Jehoiakim 
king of Judah, He fhall have none to fit upon the 
throne of David, and his dead body fhall be c caft out 
in the day to the heat, and in the night to the froft. 

31 And I will t punifh him, and his feed, and his 
fervants for their iniquity ; and I will bring upon them, 
and upon the inhabitants of Jerufalem, and upon the 
men of Judah, all the evil that I have pronounced 
ag* ; mVhem ; but they hearkened not. 

32 "H Then took Jeremiah another roll, and gave it to

5 Then Pharaoh's army was come forth out of

6 U Then came the word of the Lord unto the

7 Thus faith the Lord, the God of Ifrael, Thus 
fhall ye fay to the king of Judah, that fent you unto me 
to inquire of me, Behold, Pharaoh's army which is 
come forth to help you, fhall return to Egypt into

8 And The Chaldeans fhall come again and fijht 
againft this city, and take it, and burn it with fire. 

9 Thus faith the Lord, Deceive not f yourfelves, 
faying, The Chaldeans fhall furely depart from us, for 
they lhall not depart. 

10 For though ye had fmitten the whole army of 
the Chaldeans that fight againft you, and there remained 
but f wounded men among them, yet lhouldthey rife

18 Moreover, Jeremiah faid unto king Zedekiah, 
What have I offended againft thee, or againft thy 
fervants, or againft this people, that ye have put me 
in prifon ? 

19 Where are now your prophets which prophefied 
unto you, 'faying, The king of Babylon (hall not come 
againft you, nor againft this land ? 

20 Therefore, hear now-, I pray thee, O my lord 
the king : t let my fupplication, I pray thee, be ac- 
cepted before thee ; that thou caufe me not to return 
.to the houfe of Jonathan the fcribe, left J die there. 

21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded that they 
fhoulel commit Jeremiah into the court of the prifon, 
and that they fhould give him daily a piece of bread 
out of the bakers' ftreet, until all the bread in the city 
-were fpent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court 
•of the prifon. 

C H A P. XXXVIII. 
1 Jeremiah, cast into the dungeon of Malchiah, 7 
Ebedmelech getteth him some enlargement : 14 he 
gheth the king counsel : 24 be concealetb the confer- 
ence from the princes. 

rr^HEN Shephatiah the fon of Mattan ; and Geda- 
X liah the fon of Pafhur ; and Jucal the fon of 
Shelemiah, and Pafhur the fon of Malchiah^Jieard 
the words that Jeremiah had fpoken unto .all the 
people, faying, 

2 Thus faith the Lord, a He that remaineth in 
this city fhall die by the fword, by the famine, and 
by the peftilence : but he that goeth forth_ to the 
Chaldeans fhall live; for he fhall have his life for a 
prey, and fhall live. 

3 Thus faith the Lord, This city fhall furely be 
given into the hand of die king of Babylon's army, 
which fhall take it. 

4 Therefore the princes faid unto the king, We 
befeech thee, let this man be put to eleath : for thus 
he weakeneth the hanels of the men of war that re- 
main in this city, and the hands of all the people, in 
fpeaking fuch words unto them ; for this man feeketh 
not the f welfare of this people, but the hurt. 

5 Then,Zeelekiah the king faid, Behold, he is in 
your hand : for the king is not he that can do any 
thing againft you. 

6 Then took they Jeremiah, and caft him into the 
dungeon of Malchiah the fon || of Hammelech, that 
ivas in the court of the prifon : and they let down Jer- 
emiah with cords. And in the elungeon there iv,as no , 
water, but mire : fo Jeremiah funk in the mire. 

7 1 Now when Ebedmelech the Ethiopian, one of 
the eunuchs which was in the king's houfe, heard 
that they hael put Jeremiah in the elungeon, (the king- 
then fitting in the gate of Benjamin,) 

8 Ebeelmelech went forth out of the king's houfe, 
and fpake to the king, faying, 

9 My lord the king, thefe men have elone evil in 
all that they have done to Jeremiah the prophet, 
whom they have caft into the dungeon ; and t he is 
like to die for hunger in the place where he is ; for 
there is no more bread in the city. 

10 Then the king commaneled Ebedmelech the 
Ethiopian, faying, Take from hence thirty men f with 
thee, and take up Jeremiah the prophet out of the 
dungeon before he die. 

11 So Ebedmelech took the men with him, and 



He gheth the king counsel* 



t Heb. he

went into the houfe of the king uneler the treasury, 
and took thence old caft clouts and old rotten rags, 
and let them down by cords into the dungeon to 
Jeremiah. 

12 And Ebedmelech the Ethiopian faid unto Jere- 
miah, Put now these old caft clouts anel rotten rags 
under thine armholes under the cords. Anel Jere- 
miah did fo. 

13 U So they drew up Jeremiah with corels, and took 
him up out of the dungeon : and Jeremiah remaineel 
in the court of the prifon. 

14 ff Then Zedekiah the king fent, and took Jere- 
miah the prophet unto him into the tl third entry that V ^ f< 
ism the houfe of the Lord : anel the king faid unto 
Jeremiah, I willafk thee a thing; hiele nothing from me. 

15 Then Jeremiah faid unto Zedekiah, If I eieclare 
it unto thee, wilt thou not furely put me to eleath ? anel 
if I give thee counfel, wilt thou not hearken unto me ? 

16 So Zedekiah the king fware fecretly unto Jere- 
miah, faying, As the Lord liveth, that maele us this 
foul, I will not put thee to death, neither will I give 
thee into the hanel of thefe men that leek thy life. 

17 Then faid Jeremiah unto Zeelekiah, Thus faith 
the Lord, the God of hofts, the God of Ifrael, If thou 
wilt affuredly go forth unto the king of Babylon's prin- 
ces, then thy foul fhall live, anel this city fhall not be 
burnt with fire, anel thou fhalt live, and thine houfe : 

18 But if thou wilt not go forth to the king of Baby- 
lon's princes, then fhall this city be given into the 
hanel of the Chaldeans, and they fhall burn it with 
fire, and thou fhalt not efcape out of their hand. 

19 Anel Zedekiah the king faid unto Jeremiah, I am 
afraid of the Jews that are fallen to the Chaldeans, left 
they deliver me into their hand, and they mock me. 

20 But Jeremiah faid, They fhall not deliver ihee : 
obey, I befeech thee, the voice of the Lord, which 
I fpeak unto thee : fo it fhall be well unto thee, and 
thy foul fhall live. 

21 But if thou refufe to go forth, thisw the worel 
that the Lord hath fheweel me : 

22 And, behold, all the women that are left in the 
king of Juelah's houfe shall be brought forth to the 
king of Babylon's princes, and thofe women fhall fay, 
t Thy friends have fet thee on, and have prevaileel \^- f 
againft thee : thy feet are funk in the mire, and they thypeaep. 
are turned away hack. 

23 So they fhall bring out all thy wives and thy 
children to the Chaldeans : and thou fhalt not efcape 
out of their hand, but fhalt be taken by the hanel of 
the king of Babylon ; and t thou fhalt caufe this city 
to be burnt with fire. 

24 If Then faid Zedekiah unto Jeremiah, Let no 
man know_ of thefe words, and thou fhalt not die. 

25 But if the princes hear that I have talked with 
thee, and they come unto thee, anel fay unto thee, 
Declare unto us now what thou haft faid unto the 
king, hiele it not from us, anel we will not put thee to 
death ; alfo what the king faid unto thee ; 

26 Then thou fhalt fay unto them, I prefented my 
fupplication before the king, that he would not caufe 
me to return to Jonathan's houfe to die there. # 

27 Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, anel 
afkeel him : and he told them according to all thefe

there when jerufalem was taken.

N the a ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the

befieged it. 

s8s- 2 And in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the

they fled, and went forth cut of the city by night, by 
the way of the king's garden, by the gate betwixt the 
two walls ; and he went out the way of the plain. 

5 But the Chaldeans' army purfued after them, and 
overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho : and when 
they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebu-

him | with chains, to carry him to Babylon. 

8 II And the Chaldeans burnt the king's houfe, and 
the houfesofthe people, with fire, and brake down 
the walls of Jerufalem. 

9 If Then Nebuzaradan the || j captain of the guard

10 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard, left 
of the poor of the people, which had nothing T in the 
land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields, at

11 11 Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave

12 Take him, and f look well to him, and do him no

1 Jeremiah, being set at liberty by Nebuzaradan, go- 
eth to Gedaliah : 7 the dispersed Jews repair unto- 
Gedaliah. 13 Johanan revealing IshmaeVs con- 
spiracy, is not believed. 
THE word which came to Jeremiah from the 
Lord, after that Nebuzaradan the captain of 
the guard had let him go from Ramah, when he had 
taken him, being bound in || chains among all that 
were carried away captive of Jerufalem and Judah, 
which were carried away captive unto Babylon. 

2 And the captain of the guard took Jeremiah, and 
faid unto him, The Lord thy God hath pronounced 
this evil upon this place :. 

3 Now the Lord hath brought it,- and done ac- 
cording as he hath faid : becaufe ye have finned 
againft the Lord, and have not obeyed his voice, 
therefore this thing is come upon you. 

4 And now, behold, I looie thee this day from the 
chains which were upon thine hand : if it feem good 
unto thee to come with me into Babylon, come, and 
f I will look well unto thee : but if it feem ill unto 
thee to come with me into Babylon, forbear : behold, 
all the land is before thee ; whither it feemeth good 
and convenient for thee to go, thither go. 

5 Now, while he was not yet gone back, he said, Go 
back alfo to Gedaliah the fon of Ahikam, the fon of 
Shaphan, whom the king of Babylon hath made gov- 
ernor over the cities of Judah, and dwell with him 
among the people : or go wherefoever it feemeth con- 
venient unto thee to go. So the captain of the guard 
gave him victuals and a reward, and let him go. 

6 Then went Jeremiah unto Gedaliah the fon of 
Ahikam to Mizpah, and dwelt with him among the 
people that were left in the land. 

7 If Now, when all the captains of the forces which 
were in the fields, even they and their men, heard that 
the king of Babylon had made Gedaliah the fon of 
Ahikam governor in the land,, and had committed 
unto him men, and women, and children, and of the 
poor of the land, of them that were not carried away 
captive to Babylon ; 

8 Then they came to Gedaliah to Mizpah, even 
Ifhmael the fon of Nethaniah, and Johanan and Jona- 
than the' fons of Kareah, and Seraiah the fon of Tan- 
humeth, and the fons of Ephai the Netophathite, and 
Jezaniah the fon of a Maachathite, they and their men. 

9 And Gedaliah the fon of Ahikam, the fon of Sha- 
phan, fvvare unto them and to their men, faying, Fear 
not to ferve the Chaldeans : dwell in the land, and ferve 
the king of Babylon, and it fhall be well with yon. 

10 Asfor me, behold, I wilklwell atMizpah, jto ferve 
the Chaldeans which will come unto us : but ye, gather 
ye wine and fummer fruits, and oil, and put them'm your

in all the countries, heard that the king of Babylon had 
left a remnant of Judah, and that he had fct over them 
Gedaliah the fon of Ahikam, the fon of Shaphan ; 

12 Even all the Jews returned out of all places 
whither they were driven, and came to the land of Ju- 
dah, to Gedaliah unto Mizpah, and gathered wine and 
fummer fruits very much. 

13 IT Moreover, Johanan the fon of Kareah, and all 
the captains of the forces that were in the fields, came 
to 1 Gedaliah to Mizpah, 

14 And faidunto him, Boft thou certainly know 
that Baalis the king of the Ammonites hath lent Hh- 
mael the fon of Nethaniah t to ilay thee ? But Geda- 
liah the fon of Ahikam believed them not. 

15 Then Johanan the fon of Kareah fpake to Geda- 
liah in Mizpah ftcretly, faying, Let me go, I pray 
thee, and I will flay Ifhmael the fon of Nethaniah, and 
no man fhall know it: wherefore fhould he ilay thee, 
that all the Jews which are gathered unto thee fhould 
be Scattered, and the remnant in Judah perifh ? 

16 But Gedaliah the fon of Ahikam laid unto Joha- 
nan the fon of Kareah, Thou lhalt not do this thing ; 
for thou fpeakeft falfely of Ifhmael. 

CHAP. XLI. 
1 Isbmael, having treacherously slain Gedaliah and 
others, pnrposetb to flee with the residue wito the 
Ammonites. 11 Johanan goelb against him, and 
having recovered ail the captives, is minded to flee 
into Egypt. 

NOW it came to pafs, in the feventh month, that 
Ilhmael the fon of Nethaniah, the fon of Elilha- 
ma, of the iced royal, and the princes of the king, 
even ten men with him, came unto Gedaliah the fon 
of Ahikam to Mizpah ; and there they did eat bread 
together in Mizpah. 

2 Then arofe Ifhmael the fon of Nethaniah, and 
the ten men that were with him, and a fmote Gedaliah 
the fon of Ahikam, the fon of Shaphan, with the fvvord, 
and Hew him, whom the king of Babylon had made 
governor over the land. 

3 Ilhmael alio flew all the Jews that were with him, 
even with Gedaliah at Mizpah, and the Chaldeans 
that were found there, and the men of war. 

4 And it came to pafs the fecond day after he had 
(lain Gedaliah, and no man knew it, 

5 That there came certain from Shechem, from 
Shiloh, and from Samaria, ^evz fourfcore men, having 
their beards fhaven, and their clothes rent, and hay- 
ing cut themfelves, with offerings and incenfe in 
their hand, to bring th:m to the houfe of the Lord. 

6 And Ilhmael the fon of Nethaniah went forth 
from Mizpah to meet them, t weeping all along as he 
went : and it came to pafs, as he met them, he faid 
unto them, Come to Gedaliah the fon of Ahikam. 

7 And it was so, when they came into the midft of 
the city, that Ilhmael the fon of Nethaniah Hew them, 

cast them into the midft of the pit, he, and the men 
thvlwcre with him. 

8 But ten men were found among them that laid 
unto Ilhmael, Slay us not ; for we have treafurcs in 
the field, of wheat, and of barley, and of oil, and of 
honey. So he forbare, and flew them not among their 
brethren. 

9 Now the pit wherein Ilhmael had caft all the dead 
°j> bodies of the men, whom he had flain || t becaufe of 

Gedaliah, was it which Afa the kins had made for 



Johanan recovcreth the captives, 

fear of Baafha king of Ifrael ; and Ilhmael the fon of 
Nethaniah filled it with them that -ivere flain. 

10 Then Ilhmael carried awaj' captive all the refi- 
due of the people that were in Mizpah, even the king's 
daughters, and all the people that remained in Mizpah, 
whomNebuzaradan the captain of the guard had 
committed to Gedaliah the fon of Ahikam : and Ifh- 
mael the fon of Nethaniah carried them away captive, 
and departed to go over to the Ammonites. 

1 1 *iT But when Johanan the fon of Kareah, and all 
the captains of the forces that were with him, heard of 
all the evil that Ifhmael the fon of Nethaniah had done, 

12 Then they took all the men, and went to fight 
with Ilhmael the fon of Nethaniah, and found him by 
the great waters that are in Gibeon. 

13 Now, it came to pafs, that when all the people 
which ivere with Ifhmael faw Johanan the fon of Ka- 
reah, and all the captains of the forces that were with 
him, then they were glad. 

14 So all the people that Ifhmael had carried away 
captive from Mizpah caft about, and returned, and 
went unto Johanan the fon of Kareah. 

15 But Ifhmael the fon of Nethaniah efcaped from 
Johanan with eight men, and went to the Ammonites. 

16 Then took Johanan, the fon of Kareah, and all 
the captains of the forces that were with him, all the 
remnant of the people whom he had recovered from 
Ifhmael the fon of Nethaniah from Mizpah, after that 
he had flain Gedaliah the foil of Ahikam, even mighty 
men of war, and the women, and the children, and the 
eunuchs, whom he had brought again from Gibeon : 

17 And they departed, and dwelt in the habitation 
of Chimham, which is by Bethlehem, to go to enter 
into Egypt. 

18 Becaufe of the Chaldeans : for they were afraid 
of them, becaufe Ifhmael the fon of Nethaniah had 
flain Gedaliah the fon of Ahikam, whom the king of 
Babylon made governor in the land. 

C H A P. XLII. 
1 Johanan and the other captains desire Jeremiah to 
inquire of God, promising obedience to his directions. 
7 Jeremiah assure th them of safety in Judea, 13 but 
of destruction in Egypt : 19 be reproveth their hy- 
pocrisy in asking counsel of God, which they meant 
not to follow. 

THEN all ffie captains of the forces, and Johanan 
the fon of Kareah, and Jezaniah the fon of Ho- 
fliaiah, and all the people, from the leaft even unto 
the greateft, came near, 

: 2 And faid unto Jeremiah the prophet, )| Let, we 
befeech thee, our fupplication be accepted before 
thee, and pray for us unto the Lord thy God, even 
for all this remnant ; (for we are left "but a lew of 
many, as thine eyes do behold us ;) 

3 That the Lord thy God may fliew us the way 
wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do. 

4 Then Jeremiah the prophet faid unto them, I have 
heard you ; behold , I will pray unto the Lord your God 
according to your words ; and it (hall come to' pafs, that 
whatfoever thing the Lord lhallanfvveryou, I will de- 
clare it unto you ; I will keep nothing back from you. 

5 Then they faid to Jeremiah, The Lord be a true

fhall fend thee to us.

obey the voice of the Lord our God. 

7 If And it came to pafs after ten days, that the word 
of the Lord came unto Jeremiah. 

8 Then called he Johanan the fon of Kareah, and 
all the captains of the forces which were Avith him, and 
all the people, from the lealt even to the greateft, 

9 And faid unto them, Thus faith the. Lord, the 
God of Ifrael, unto whom ye fent me to prefent your 
amplication before him ; 

10 If ye will ftiH abide in this land, then will I build 
you, and not pull you down ; and I will plant yon, and 
not pluck ypu up : for I repent me of the evil that 
I have done unto you. 

11 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom 
ye are afraid ; be not afraid of him, faith the Lord : 
for I am with you to lave you, and to deliver you from 
his hand. 

12 And I will fhew mercies unto you, that he may 
have mercy upon you, and caufe you to return to your

13 1[ Put if ye fay, We will not dwell in this land, 
neither obey the voice of the Lord your God : 

14 Saying, No ; but we will go into the land of 
Egypt, where we ihall fee no war, nor hear the found 
of the trumpet, nor have hunger of bread, and there 
will we dwell ; 

15 And now, therefore, hear the word of the Lor d, 
ye remnant of Judah ; Thus faith the Lord of hofts, 
the God of Ifrael, If ye wholly fet your faces to enter 
into Egypt, and go to fojourn there, 

16 Then it fhall come to pafs, that the fword, which

17 | So* fhall it be with all the men that fet their 
faces to go into Egypt, to fojourn there ; they fhall die 
by the fword, by the famine, and by the peftilence : 
and none of them fhall remain or efcape from the evil 
that I will bring upon them. 

18 For thus faith the Lord of hofts, the God of

forth upon the inhabitants of Jerufalem-; fo fhall my 
fury be poured forth upon you, when ye fhall enter 
into Egypt : and ye fhall be an execration, and an

ihall fee this place no more. 

19 II The Lord hath faid concerning you, Oye 
remnant of Judah, Go ye not into Egypt : know cer- 
tainly that I have f admonjfhed you this day. 

20 For || ye diffembled in your hearts , when ye lent me

21 And now I have this day declared it to you ; but 
ye have not obeyed the voice of the Lord your God,

AND it came to pafs, that when Jeremiah had made 
an end of fpeaking unto all the people, all the 
words of the Lord their God, for which the Lord 
their God had fent him to them, even all thefe words, 

2 Then (pake Azariah the fon of Hofhaiah, and 
Johanan the fon of Kareah, and all the proud men, 
faying unto Jeremiah, Thou fpeakeft falfely : the Lord 
our God hath not fent thee to fay, Go not into Egypt 
to fojourn there j 

3 But Baruch the fon of Neriah fctteth thee on 
againft us, for to deliver us into the hand of the Chal- 
deans, that they might put us to death, and carry us 
away captives into Babylon. 

4 So Johanan the fon of Kareah, and all the cap, 
tains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the 
voice of the Lord, to dwell in the land of Judah ; 

5 But Johanan the fon of Kareah, and all the cap- 
tains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, that 
were returned from all nations whither they had been 
driven, to dwell in the land of Judah ; 

6 Even men, and women, and children, and the 
king's daughters, and every perfon that Nebuzaradan 
the captain of the guard had left with Gedaliah the 
fon of Ahikam, the fon of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the 
prophet, and Baruch the fon of Neriah. 

7 So they came into the land of Egypt : for they •$& 
obeyed not the voice of the Lord. Thus came they end "*' 
even to Tahpanhes. 

8 If Then came the word of the Lord unto Jere- 
miah in Tahpanhes, faying, 

9 Take great ftones in thine hand, and hide them 
in the clay in the brick kiln, which is at the entry of 
Pharaoh's houfe in Tahpanhes, in the fight of the men 
of Judah ; 

10 And fay unto them, Thus faith the Lord of 
hefts, the God of Ifrael, Behold, I will fend and take 
Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon my fervant, and 
will fet his throne upon thefe ftones that I have hid; 
and he fhall fpread his royal pavilion over them. 

11 And when he cometh, he fhall finite the land of 
Egypt, and deliver a fuch as are for death, to death , 
and fuch as are for captivity, to captivity ; and fuch Zech " " 
as are for the fword, to the fword. 

12 And I will kindle a fire in the houfes of the gods 
of Egypt; and he fhall burn them, and carry them 
away captives ; and he fhall array himfelf with the 
land of Egypt, as a ihepherd putteth on his garment ; 
and he fhall go forth from thence in peace. 

13 He fhall break alfo the t images of || Befhfhe- tHei

the gods of the Egyptians fhall he burn with fire.

they knew not, neither they, ye, nor your fathers. 

4 Howbeit, I fent unto you all my fervants the

do not this abominable thing that I hate. 

5 But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear to 
turn from their wickednefs, to burn no incenfe unto 
other gods. 

6 Wherefore my fury and mine anger was poured 
forth, and was kindled in the cities of Judah, and in 
the ftreets of Jerufalem ; and they are wafted and def- 
olate, as at this day. 

7 Therefore now thus faith the Lord, the God of

might cut yourfelves off, and that ye might be a curfe 
and a reproach among all the nations of the earth ? 

tSefsitTm!' 9 Have ye forgotten the f wickednefs of your fa-

the wickednefs of their wives, and your own wicked-

have committed in the land of Judah, and in the ftreets 
of Jerufalem r 

10 They are not f humbled even unto this day, nei- 
ther have they feared, nor walked in my law, nor in my 
flatutes, that I fet before you, and before your fathers. 

11 Tf Therefore, thus "faith the Lord of hofts, the 
»a«os9 4. God of Ifrael, Behold, a I will fet my face againft you 

for evil, and to cut off all Judah. 

12 And I will take the remnant of Judah", that have 
fet their faces to go into the land of Egypt to fojourn 
there, and they fhall all be confumed, and fall in the 
land of Egypt ; they ihali even be confumed by the j 
fword and by the famine: they fhall die, from the I 
leaft even unto the greateft, by the fword and by the 
famine ; and they fhall be an execration, and an afton- j 
ifhment, and a curfe, and a reproach. 

13 For I will punifh them that dwell in the land of 
Egypt, as I have punifhed Jerufalem, by the fword, by 
the famine, and by the peftilence ; 

14 So that none of the remnant of Judah, which 
are gone into the land of Egypt to fojourn there, fhall I 
efcape or remain, that they fhould return unto the 

*"*,!$. " p land of Judah, to the which they f have a defire to i 
return to dwell there ; for none fhall return but fuch 
as fhall efcape. 

15 Ti Then all the men which knew that their wives ' 
had burnt incenfe unto other gods, and all the women 
that itood by, a great multitude, even all the people ! 
that dwelt in the land of Egypt, in Pathros, anfwered 
Jeremiah, faying, 

16 As for the word that thou haft fpoken unto us in i 
the name of the Lord, we will not hearken unto thee. 

17 But we will certainly do whatfoever thing goeth I 
forth cut of our own mouth, to burn incenfe unto the J 

. .ecn of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings ' 
unto her, as we have done, wc and our fathers, our 
kings and our princes, in the cities of Judah, and in 
the ftreets of Jerufalem : for then had w e plenty of

of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto her, 
we have wanted all things, and have been confumed 
by the fword and by the famine. 

19 c And when we burnt incenfe to the queen of cchap.718 
heaven, and poured out drink offerings unto her, did 
we make her cakes to worfhip her, and pour out 
drink offerings unto her, without our !! men ? 

20 H Then Jeremiah laid unto all the people, to the 
men, and to the women, and to all the people, which 
had given him that anfwer, faying, 

21 The incenfe that ye burnt in the cities of Judah, 
and in tke ftreets of Jerufalem, ye anel your fathers, 
your kings and your princes, and the people of the 
land, elid not the Lord remember them, and came it 
not into his mind ? 

22 So that the Lord could no longer bear, becaufe 
of the evil of your doings, end becaufe of the abomina- 
tions which ye have committed ; therefore is your 
land a defolation, and an aftonifhment, and a curfe, 
without an inhabitant, as at this day. 

23 Becaufe ye have burnt incenfe, and becaufe ye 
have fmned againft the Lord, and have not -obeyed 
the voice of the Lord, nor walked in his law, nor in 
his ftatutes, nor in his tefti monies ; therefore this evil 
is happened unto you, as at this day. 

24 Moreover, Jeremiah faid unto all the people, 
and to all the women, Hear the word of the Lord, all 
Judah that are in the land of Egypt ; 

25 Thus faith the Lord of hofts, the God of Ifrael, 
faying, Ye and your wives have both fpoken with your 
mouths, and fulfilled with your hand, faying, We will 
furely perform our vows that we have vowed, to burn 
incenfe to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink 
offerings unto her : 3~e will furely accomplifh j'our 
vows, and furely perform your vows. 

26 Therefore, hear ye the word of the Lord, all 
Judah that dwell in the land of Egypt, Behold, I have 
fworn by my great name, faith the Lord, that my 
name fhall no more be named in the mouth of any man 
of Judah in all the land of Egypt, faying, The Lord 
God liveth. 

27 Behold, I will watch over them for evil, and not 
for good ; and all the men of Judah that are in the land 
of Egypt fhall be confumed by the fword, and by the 
famine, until there be an end of them. 

28 Yet a fmall number that efcape the fword fhall 
return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Judah ; 
and all the remnant of Judah, that are gone into the 
land of Egypt to fojourn there, fhall know whofe word 
lhall ftand, f mine, or tneir 's. 



29 li And this shall be a fign unto you, faith the 
Lord, that I will punifh you in this place, that ye 
may know that my words lhall furely ftand againft 
you for evil ; 

30 Thus faith the Lord, Behold, I will give Pha- 
raohhophra king of Egypt into the hand of his ene-

40 For thus faith the Lord, Behold, he (hall fly as

41 || Kerioth is taken, and the ftrong holds are fur- 
prifed, and the mighty men's hearts in Moab at that

becaufe he hath magnified himself agnmil the Lord. 

43 k Fear, and the pit, and the fnare shall be upon 
thee, O inhabitant of Moab, faith the Lord. 

44 He that fleeth from the fear fliall fall into the pit ; 
and he that getteth up out of the pit fliall be taken in

7 All that found them have devoureel them ; and 
their adverfaries faid, We offend not ; becaufe they 
have finned againft the Lord, the habitation ofjuftice,

13 Becaufe of the wrath of the Lord it ihall not

hifs at all her plagues. 

14 Put yourfelves in array againft Babylon round

15 Shout againft her round about ; fhe hath given

take vengeance upon her ; as fhe hath done, do unto her. 

16 Cut off the fower from Babylon, and him that

18 Therefore thus faith the Lord of hofts, the God

5 For Ifrael hath not been forfaken, nor Judah of

every man his foul : be not cut off in her iniquity ; 
for this is the time of the Lord's vengeance : he will 
render unto her a recompenfe. 

7 Babylon hath been a golden cup in the Lord's 
hand, that made all the earth drunken ; the nations 
have drunken of her wine ; therefore the nations are 
mad. 

8 Babylon is fuddenly b fallen and deftroyed : howl 
for her ; take balm for her pain, if fo be fhe may be 
healed. 

9 We would have healed Babylon, but fhe is not 
healed : foriake her, and let us go every one into his

and is lifted up even to the ikies. 

10 The Lord hath brought forth our righteouf-

22 With thee alfo will I break in pieces man and 
woman ; and with thee will I break in pieces old and 
young ; and with thee will I break in pieces the young- 
man and the maid ; 

23 I will alfo break in pieces with thee the ihepherd 
and his flock ; and with thee will I break in pieces the 
hufbandman and his yoke of oxen ; and with thee will 
I break in pieces captains and rulers. 

24 And I will render unto Babylon, and to all the 
inhabitants of Chaldea, all their evil that they have 
done in Zion in your fight, faith the Lord. 

25 Behold, I am againft thee, O deftroying moun- 
tain, faith the Lord, which dellroyeft all the earth ; 
and I will ftretch out mine hand upon thee, and roll 
thee down from the rocks, and will make thee a burnt 
mountain. 

26 And they fhall not take of thee a ftone for a cor- 
ner, nor a ftone for foundations ; but thou fhait be 
tdefolate for ever, faith the Lord. 

27 Set ye up a ftandard in the land, blow the trum- 
pet among the nations, prepare the nations againft her, 
call together againft her the kingdoms of Ararat, Min- 
ni, and Afhchenaz ; appoint a captain againft her; caufe 
the horfes to come up as the rough caterpillars. 

28 Prepare againft her the nations, with the kings 
of the Medes, the captains thereof, and ail the rulers 
thereof and all the land of his dominion. 

29 And the land fhall tremble and forrow : foi 
every purpofe of the Lord fhall be performed again', 
Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a dcfolatior 
without an inhabitant. 

30 The mighty men of Babylon have forborne tc 
fight, they have remained in their holds ; their might 
hath failed, they became as women : they have burnt 
her dwelling places ; her bars are broken. 

31 One poll fhall run to meet another, and one mef-

33 For thus faith the Lord of hofts, the God^ of 
Ifrael, The daughter of Babylon is like a threfhing

the time of her harveft fhall come. 

34 Nebuchadrezzarthe king of Babylon hath devour-

filled his beliy with my delicates, he hath call me out. 

35 t The violence done to me and to my || fiefh be X^;.^

my blood upon the inhabitants of Chaldea, fhall Jeru- 
falem fay. 

36 Therefore, thus faith the Lord, Behold, I will 
plead thy caufe, and take vengeance for thee ; and I 
will dry up her fea, and make her fprings dry. 

37 And Babylon fhall become heaps, a dwelling 
place for dragons, an altonifhment, and an hilling, with- 
out an inhabitant. 

38 They fhall roar together like lions ; they fhall

39 In their heat I will make their feafts, and I will 
make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and lleep 
a perpetual lleep, and not wake, faith the Lord. 

40 I will bring them down like iambs to the (laugh-

41 How is Shcfhach taken ! and how is the praife 
of the whole earth furprifeel ! how is Babylon become 
an a.flonifhment among the nations ! 

42_ The fea is come up upon Babylon ; fhe is cover- 
ed with the multitude of the waves thereof: 

43 Her cities are a defolation, a dry land and a wil- 
dernefs, a land wherein no man dweileth, neither doth 
any fon of man pafs thereby. 

44 And I will punifli Bel in Babylon ; and I will 
bring forth out of his mouth that which he hath fwal- 
lowed up : and the nations ihall not flow together any 
more unto him; yea, the wall of Babylon fhall fall. 

45 My people, go ye out of the mid ft of her, and 
deliver ye every man his foul from the fierce anger of 
the Lord. 

46 And left your heart faint, and ye fear for the 
rumour that ihall be heard in the land, a rumour fhall 
both come one year, and after that in another year 
shall come a rumour, and violence in the land, ruler

47 Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will 
f do judgment upon the graven images of Babylon ; t/fe' 
and her whole land fhall be confounded, and all her "" 
flain fhall fall in the midft of her. 

48_ Then the heaven, and the earth, and all that is

ZEDEKIAH was » one and twenty years old whe n 
he f began to reign ; and he reigned eleven year s 
in Jerufalem ; and his mother's name was Hamutah 
the daughter of Jeremiah of Libnah. 

2 And he did that which was evil in the eyes of the 
Lord, according to all that Jehoiakim had done. 

3 For through the anger of the Lord it came to 
pafs in Jerufalem and Judah, till he had call them out 
from his prtfenee, that Zedekiah rebelled againft the 
king of Babylon. 

4 H And it came to pafs, in the b ninth year of his 
reign, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the 
month, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon came, 
he and all his army, againft Jerufalem, and pitched 
againft it, and built forts againft it round about.

6 And in the fourth month, in the ninth day of the 
month, the famine was fore in the city, fo that there 
was no bread for the people of the land. 

7 Then the city was broken up, and all the men of 
war fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the 
way of the gate between the two walls, which was by 
the king's garden ; (now the Chaldeans were by the city 
round about ; ) and they went by the way of the plain. 

8 U But the army of the Chaldeans purfued after the 
king, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho, 
and all his army was f battered from him. 

9 Then they took the king, and carried him up 
unto the king of Babylon to Riblah, in the land of 
Hamath^ where he gave judgment upon him. 

_ 10 And the king of Babylon flew the fons of Zede- 
kiah before his eyes : he flew alfo all the princes of 
Judah in Riblah. 

11 Then he t put out the eyes of Zedekiah ; and 
the king of Babylon bound him in H chains, and car- 
ried him to Babylon, and put him in tprifon till the 
da}' of his death. 

12 11 Now, in the fifth month, in the tenth day of 
the month., (which was the nineteenth year of Nebu- 
chadrezzar king of Babylon,) came Nebuzaradan 
|| | captain of the guard, which tferved the king of 
Babylon, into Jerufalem,, 

13 And burnt the houfe of the Lord.; and the king's %^ r e s x " r ^ 
houfe, and all the houfes of Jerufalem, and all the 5 ': ? 'V'^ i r ;' 
houfes of the great men burnt he with fire : v™:'hV,? 

14 And all the army of the Chaldeans, that were tS^"" 4 
with the captain of the guard, brake down all the walls 

of Jerufalem round about. 

15 Then Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard car- 
ried away captive certain of the poor of the people, and 
the refidue of the people diat remained in the city, and 
thofe that fell away, that fell to the king of Babylon, 
and the reft of the multitude. 

16 But Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard left 
certain of the poor of the land for vine dreffers, and for 
hufbandmen. 

17 II c Alfo the pillars of brafs that were in the houfe 
of the Lord, and the bales* and the brafen fea that 
was in the houfe of the Lord, the Chaldeans brake, 
and carried all the brafs of them to Babylon. 

18 The caldrons alfo, and the l| fhovels, and the 
fnufiers, and the || bowls, and the fpoons, and all the 
veffels of brafs wherewith they miniflered, took they 
away, 

19 And the batons, and the H firepans, and the 
bowls, and the caldrons, and the candleflicks, and the 
fpoons, and the cups ; that which was of gold in gold, 
and that which was of filver in filver, took the captain 
of the guard away. 

20 The two pillars, one fea, and twelve brafen bulls 
that were under the bales, which king Solomon had 
made in the houfe of the Lord ; f the brafs of all thefe 
veffels was without weight. 

21 And concerning the d pillars, the height of one diK; ng3 
pillar w as eighteen cubits, and a f fillet of twelve cubits I Kings 
did compafs it ; and the thicknefs thereof was four "c'&on, 
fingers : it was hollow. |J£ h 

22 And a chapiter of brafs was upon it ; and the threai - 
height of one chapiter was five cubits, with net work 
and pomegranates upon the chapiters round-about, all

23 And there were ninety and iix pomegranates on

were an hundred round about. 

24 IF And the captain of the guard took Seraiah the 
chief prieft, and Zephaniah the fecond prieft, and the 
three keepers of the t door : 

25 He took alfo out of the city an eunuch, which 
had the charge of the men of war ; and feven men 
of them that t were near the king's perfon, which 
were found in the city ; and the || principal fcribe of 

" the hoft, who muftered the people of the land ; and 
threefcore men of the people of the land that were 
found in the midft of the city. 

26 So Nebuzaradan the captain of the guard took 
them, and brought them to the king of Babylon to 
Riblah. 

27 And the king of Babylon fmote them, and put 
them to death in Riblah, in the land of Hamath. 
Thus Judah was carried away captive out of his own 
land.

50 In the three and twentieth year cf Nebuchad-

away captive of the Jews feven hundred forty and 
five perfons : all the perfons were four thoufand and 
fix hundred. 

31 If And it came to pafs, in the feven and thirti- 
eth year of the captivity of Jehoiachin king of Judah, 
in the twelfth month, in the five and twentieth day

in the first year of his reign, lifted up the head of

of prifon. 

32 And fpake t kindly unto him, and fet his throne 
above the throne of the kings that were with him in 
Babylon ; 

33 And changed his prifon garments : and he did 
continually eat bread before him all the days of his life. 

_ 34 And for his diet there was a continual diet given 
him of the king of Babylon, t every day a portion, 
until the day of his death, all the days of his life.

C H A P. I. 

1 The miserable estate of Jerusalem by reason of her 
sin : \2she bemoaneth her afflictions, and confesseth 
God's judgments to be righteous, &c. 

HOW cloth the city fit folitary that was full of peo- 
ple ! how is (lie become as a widow ! fhe that 
was great among the nations, <7W</prineefs among the 
provinces, how is fhe become tributary ! 

2 She a weepeth fore in the b night, and her tears, 
arc on her cheeks ; among all her lovers lhe hath none 
to comfort her : all her friends have dealt treacher- 
oufly with her ; they are become her enemies. 

3 Judah is gone into captivity becauie of affliction, 
and t becaufe of great fervitude : fhe dwelleth among 
the heathen ; fhe findeth no reft : all her perfecutors 
overtook her between the {traits. 

4 The ways of Zion do mourn, becaufe none come 
to the folemn feafts ; all her gates are defolate : her 
priefts fight, her virgins are afflicted, and fhe is in 
bitternefs. 

5 Hex adverfaries c are the chief, her enemies prof- 
pcr ; for the Lord hath afflicted her for the multitude 
of her tranfgrefiions : her d children are gone into cap- 
tivity before the enemy. 

G And from the daughter of Zion ail her beauty is 
departed : her princes are become like harts that find 
no pafture ; and tliey are gone without ftrength before 
the purluer. 

7 Jerusalem remembered in the days of her afflic- 
tion, and of her miferies, all her \ pleafant things that 
the had in the days of old, when her people fell into 
the hand of the enemy, and none did help her : the 
adverfaries- few her, and did mock at her fabbaths.- 

fi Jerufalem hath grievoufly finned ; therefore me- 
tis removed: all that honoured her defpife her, be- 
cauie they have feen her nakednefs ; yea, ihe ligheth. 
andturnetli backward. 

9 Her filthincfs is in her fkirts j fhe remembered) 



not her Inft end ; therefore (lie came down wonder- 
fully: flie had no comforter. OLcp.d, behold my 
affliction : for the enemy hath magnified himself. 

10 The adverfary hath fpread out his hand upon 
all her || pleafant tilings ; for flic hath feen that- ihe. 
heathen entered into her fanctuary, whom thou didft 
command that e they fhoulel not enter into thy con- 
gregation. 
m 11- All her people figh, they feek bread ; they have 
given their pleafant things for meat || to relieve the 
ibul : fee, O Lord, and coniider ^for I am become vile. 

12 If |[ Is it nothing to you, all ye that f pafs by ? 
behold, and fee if there be any forrow like unto my 
forrow. which is done unto me wherewith the Lord 
hath afflicted me in the day of his fierce anger. 

13 Frorn above hath lie fent fire into my bones, 
and it prevaileth acainft them : he hath fpread a net 
for my feet ; he hath turned me back ; he hath made 
me defolate andfkint all the day. 

14 The yoke of my tranfgrefiions is bound by his 
hand ; they are wreathed, and come up upon my 
neck ; he hath made my itrength to fall ; the Lord 
hath delivered me into their hands from whom I am 
not able to rife up. 

15 The Lord hath trodden under foot all my 
mighty men in the mklft of me ; he hath called an af- 
fenibly againftmeto crulh my young men : the Lord 
hath trodden || the virgin, the daughter of Judah, as 
in-awineprefs.- 

16 For thefe things I weep ;: f 'mine eye, mine eye 
runneth down with water, becaufe the comforter that 
fhould f relieve my Ibul is far from me ; my children 
are defolate, becaufe the enemy prevailed., " 

17 Zion ipreadeth forth her hands, and there is none 
to comfort her : the Lor d hath commanded concerning 
Jacob, that his adverfaries should be round about him : 
Jerufalem is as a menftruons woman among them.

1 J crcmiahlamenteth the misery of Jerusalem : 20 he 

complaineth thereof to God. 

HOW hath the Lord eovered the daughter of Zi- 
on with a cloud in his anger, and call down 
from heaven unto the earth the beauty of Ifrael, and 
remembered not his footftool in the day of his anger ! 

2 The Lord hath fwallowed up all the habitations 
of Jacob, and hath not pitied ; lie hath thrown down 
in his wrath the ftrong holds of the daughter of Ju- 
dah ; he hath f brought them down to the ground : 
he hath, polluted the kingdom and the princes thereof 

3 lie hath cut off in his fierce anger all the horn of 
Ifrael : he hath drawn back his right hand from be- 
fore the enemy, and he burned againll Jacob like a 
flaming fire, which devoureth round about. 

4 He hath bent his bow like an enemy : he fcood 
with his right hand as an adverfary, and ilew f all that 
were pleafant to the eye in the tabernacle of the daugh- 
ter of Zion : he poured out his fury like fire. 

5 The Lord was as an enemy : he hath fwallowed 
up Ifrael, he hath fwallowed up all her palaces; he 
hath deftroyed his ftrong holds, and hath increafed in 
the daughter of Judah mourning and lamentation. 

6 And he hath violently a taken away his || taberna- 
cle, as if it were of a garden ; he hath deftroyed his 
places of the affembly : the Lord hath caufed the 
folemn feaftsand fabbaths to be forgotten in Zion, and 
hath defpifed, in the indignation of his anger, the 
king and the prieft. 

7 The Lord hath call off his altar ; he hath ab- 
horred his fanctuarj' ; he hath f given up into the 
hand of the enemy the walls of her palaces ; they have 
made a noife in the houie of the Lord, as in the day 
of a folemn feall. 

8 The Lord hath purpofed to deftroy the wall of 
the daughter of Zion; he hath ftretched out a line, 
he hath not withdrawn his hand from t dcllroying : 
therefore he made the rampart and the wall to lament ; 
they languifhed together. 

9 Her gates are funk into the ground : he hath de- 
ftroyed and broken her bars ; her king and her princes 
are among the Gentiles : the law is no more ; her 
b prophets alfo find no virion from the Lord. 

10 The elders of the daughter of Zion fit upon the 
ground and keep filence : they have caft up dull up- 
on their heads ; they have girded themlelves with 
fackcloth ; the virgins of Jerufalem hang down their 
heads to the ground.

a complaint thereof to God, 



1 1 Mine eyes do fail with tears, my bowels are 
troubled, my liver is poured upon the earth lor the 
deftru&ion of the daughter of my people ; becaule 
the children and the fucklings || fwoon in the ftreets 
of the city. 

12 They fay to their mothers, Where is corn and 
wine ? when they fwooned as the wounded in the 
ftreets of the city, when their foul was poured out 
into their mothers' bofom. 

13 What thing ihall I take to witnefs for thee ? 
what thing ihall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerufa- 
lem ? what fhall I equal to thee, that I may comfort 
thee, O virgin daughter of Zion ? for thy breach is 
great like the lea ; Mho can heal thee ? 

14 Thy c prophets have feen vain and foolifli things 
for thee ; and they have not difcovered thine iniquity, 
to turn av, ay thy captivity ; but have feen for thee 
faife burdens, and caufes of baniihment. 

15 All that pals t by clap their hands at thee ; they 
hifs and wag their head at the daughter of Jerufalem, 
saying, Is this the city that men call d The perfec- 
tion of beauty, The joy of the whole earth? 

16 All thine enemies have opened their mouth 
againll thee : they hifs and gnafh the teeth : they fay, 
We have fv. allowed her up : certainly this is the day 
that we looked for ; we have found, we have feen it. 

17 The Lord hath done that whxchhe had e devif- 
ed : he hath fulfilled his word that he had commanded 
in the days of old ; he hath thrown down and hath not 
pitied ; and he hath caufed thine enemy to rejoice over 
thee, he hath let up the horn of thine adverfaries. 

18 Then heart cried unto the Lord, O wall of the 
daughter of Zion, f let tears run down like a river day 
and night ; give thyfelf no reft ; let not the apple of 
thine eye ceafe. 

19 A rile, cry out in the night : in the beginning of 
the watches pour out thine heart like water before 
the face of the Lord : lift up thy hands toward him 
for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger 
in the top of every llreet. 

20 If Behold, O Lord, and confider to whom thou 
hall done this : lhall the women eat their fruit, and 
children || of a fpan long ? fhall the prieft and the pro- 
phet be flain in the faneluary of the Lord ? 

21 The young and the old lie on the ground in 
the ftreets ; my virgins anel my young men are fallen 
by the fword : thou haft ilain them'm the day of thine 
anger; thou haft killed, and not pitied. 

22 Thou haft called as in a folemn day, my terrors 
round about, lb that in the day of the Lord's anger 
none efcapeel nor remained : thofe that I have (wad- 
dled and brought up hath mine enemy confumed.

8 Their vifage is f blacker than a coal ; they are

L&|2^. the Lord was there upon him. 

4 If And I looked, and, behold, a whirlwind came 
tHeb.^fc/i-out of the north, -a great cloud, and a fire \ infolding 
**"** itfelf, and a brightnefs was about it, and out of the 

midft thereof as thecolour of amber, out of the midft 
of the fire : 

5 Alfoout of the midft thereof, came the likenefs of 
four living creatures. And this was their appear- 
ance : they had the likenefs of a man, . 

6 And every one had four faces, and every one had 
four wings. 

7 And their feet wr? f ftraight feet ; the fole of 
their feet \vas like the fole of a calf's foot : and they 
fparkled like the colour of burnilhed brafs. 

8 And they had the hands of a man under their 
-wings on their four iides ; and they four had their 
faces and their wings. 

9 Their wings were joined one to another ; they 
turned not when they went ; they went every one 
ftraight forward. 

10 As for the likenefs of their faces, they four had 
the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right 
lide ; and they four had the face of an ox on the left 
iide ; they four alfo had the face of an eagle. 

11 Thus were their faces : and their wings were 
f or, divided || ftretched upward ; two wings of every one were join- 
ed one to another, and two covered their bodies. 

12 And they went every one ftraight forward : 
whither the fpirit was to go, they went : and they 
turned not when they went. 

13 As for the likenefs of the living creatures, their 
appearance was like burning coals of fire, and like the 
appearance of lamps ; it went up and down among the 
living creatures ;. and the fire was bright, and out of 
the fire went forth lightning. 

14 And the living creatures ran and returned as the 
appearance of a flafn of lightning. 

15 Now, as I beheld the living creatures, behold, 
one wheel upon the earth by the living creatures, with 
his four faces. 

16 The appearance of the wheels and their work 
ivas like unto the colour of a beryl ; and they four had 
one likenefs : and their appearance and their work 
was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 

17 When they went, they went upon their four 
fides ; and they turned not when they went. 

18 As for their rings, they were fo high that they 
i or, itrakei. were dreadful ; and their || rings were full of eyes 

round about them four. 

19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels 
went by them ; and when the living creatures were 
lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up. 

20 Whitherfoever the fpirit was to go, they went, 
thither was their fpirit to go ; and the wheels were 

or, tfiifc. jjf le( i up ov ; er aga i n ft t j lcm . f or tne fpirit || of the liv- 
ing creature- was in the wheels. 

21 When thofe went, these went ; and when thofe 
ftood, these ftood ; and when thofe were lifted up 
from the earth, the wheels were lifted up over againft 

%Ot.,fiife. them : for the fpirit || of the living creature was in the 
wheels. * * 

22 And the likenefs of the firmanent upon the heads 
of the living creature was as the colour of the terrible 
cryftal, ftretched forth over their heads above. 

23 And under the firmament were their wings 



ftraight, the one toward the other : every one had two, 
which covered on this lide, and every one had two, , 
which covered on that fide their bodies. 

24 And when they went, I heard the noife of their 
wings, like the noife of great waters, as the voice of 
the Almighty, the voice of fpeech as the noife of an 
hoft : when they ftood, they let down their wings. 

25 And there was a voice from the firmament that 
was over their heads, when they ftood, and had let 
down their wings. 

26 If And above the firmament that was over their 
heads was the likenefs of a throne, as the appearance 
of a fapphire ftone : and upon the likenefs of the throne 
was the likenefs as the appearance of a man above up- 
on it. 

27 And I faw as the colour of amber, as the appear- 
ance of fire round about within it ; from the appear- 
ance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance 
of his loins even downward, I faw as it were the ap- 
pearance of fire, and it had brightnefs round about. 

28 As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud 
in the day of rain, fo was the appearance of the bright- 
nefs round about. This was the appearance of the 
likenefs of the glory of the Lord : and, when I faw it, 
I fell upon my face, and I heard a voice of one that 
fpake.

2 And the fpirit entered into me when he fpake un-

fpake unto me. 

3 And he faid unto me, Son of man, I fend thee to

4 For they are t impudent children, and ftiffheart- fvA.hari

5 And they, whether they will hear, or whether they 
will forbear, (for they are a rebellious houfe,) yet fhali 
know that there hath been a prophet among them.

3 And he faid unto me, Son of man, caufe thy belly

4 If And he faid unto me, Son of man, go, get thee

X %ta find houfe of Ifrael are t impudent and hardhearted. 
Lrd'ofLlrt. 8 Behold, I have made thy face ftrong againft their 
faces, and thy forehead ftrong againlt their foreheads. 

9 As an adamant, harder than flint, have I made thy 
forehead : b fear them not, neither be difmayed at 
their looks, though they be a rebellious houfe. 

10 Moreover, he faid unto me, Son of man, all my 
words that I fhall fpeak unto thee, receive in thine 
heart, and hear with thine ears. 

1 1 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto 
the children of thy people, and fpeak unto them, and 
tell them, Thus faith the Lord God, whether they 
will hear, or whether they will forbear. 

12 Then the fpirit took me up, and I heard behind 
me a voice of a great milling, saying, Bleffed be the 
glory of the Lord from his place. 

13 I heard ^o the noife of the wings of the living 
iC d. creatures that f touched one another, and the noife of 

the wheels over againft them, and a noife of a great 
ruffling. 

14 So the fpirit lifted me up, and took me away, 
«w-arid I went t in bitternefs, in the f heat of my fpirit ; 

but the hand of the Lord was ftrong upon me. 

15 If Then I came to them of the captivity at Fela- 
bib, that dwelt by the river of Chebar, and I fat where 
they fat, and remained there aftoniilied among them 
fevendays. 

16 And it came to pais, at the end of feyen clays, 
that the word of the Lord came unto me, faying, 

17 c Son of man, I have made thee a watchman un- 
to the houfe of Ifrael : therefore hear the word at my 
mouth, and give them warning from me. 

18 When I fay unto the wicked, Thou fhalt finely 
die ; and thou giveft him not warning, nor fpeakeft to 
warn the wicked from his wicked way to fave his life ; 
the fame wicked man fhall die in his iniquity : but his 
blood will I require at thine hand. 

19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not 
from his wickednefs, nor from his wicked way, he fhall 
die in his iniquity : but thou haft delivered thy foul.

1 Under the type of the prophet's hair, 5 is shewed 
God's judgment upon Jerusalem, 12 by pestilence, 
by famine, by the sword, and by dispersion. 

AND thou, fon of man, take thee a fharp knife, 
take thee a barber's razor, and caufe it to pafs 
upon thine head, and upon thy beard ; then take thee 
balances to weigh, and divide the hair. 

2 Thou fhalt burn with fire a third part in the midft 
of the city, when the days of the fiege are fulfilled; 
and thou fhalt take a third part, and fmite about it 
with a knife ; and a third part thou fhalt fcatter in the 
wind ; and 1 will draw out a fword after them. 

3 Thou fhalt alfo take thereof a few in number,, and 
bind them in thy f Ik iris. 

4 Then take of them again, and caft them into 
the midft of the fire, and burn them in the fire ; for 
thereof' ihall a fire come forth into all the houle of 
Ifrael. 

5 If Thus faith the Lord God, This is Jerufalem : 
I have let it in the midft of the nations and countries 
that are round about her. 

6 And fhe hath changed my judgments into wick- 
ednefs more than the nations, and my ftatutes more 
than the countries that are round about her : for they 
have refu fed my judgments and my ftatutes, they have 
not walked in them.. 

7 Therefore thus faith the Lord Goo, Becaufe ye 
multiplied more than the nations that are round about 
you, and have not walked in my ftatutes, neither have 
kept my judgments, neither have done according to 
the judgments of the nations that are round about 
you ; 

8 Therefore thus faith the Lord Gon, Behold, I, 
even I, am againft thee, and will execute judgments in 
the midft of thee in the light of the nations. 

9 And I will do in thee that which I have not done, 
and whereunto I will not do any more the like, be-

3 And he a put forth the form of an hand, and took 
me by a lock of mine head ; and the fpirit lifted me 
up between the earth and the heaven, and brought me 
in the vifions of God to Jerufalem, to the door of the 
inner gate that looketh toward the north, where ivas 
the feat of the image of jealoufy, which provoketh to 
jealoufy. 

4 And, behold, the glory of the God of Ifrael ivas 
there, according to the vilion that I b law in the plain. 

5 IT Then laid he unto me, Son of man , lift up thine 
eyes now the way toward the north. So I lifted up 
mine eyes the way toward the north, and behold 
northward, at the gate of the altar, this image of jeal- 
oufy in the entry. 

6 He faid furthermore unto me, Son of man, feeft 
thou what they do ? even, the great abominations that 
the houfe of Ifrael committeth here,, that I ihould go 
far off from my fancluary ? But turn thee yet again, 
and thow (halt lee greater abominations.-

11 And there flood before them feventy men of the

flood Jaazaniah the fon of Shaphan, with every man

dark, every man in the chambers of his imagery ? for

13 If He faid alfo unto me, Turn thee yet again,. and 
thou fhalt fee greater abominations that they do.

behold, there fat women weeping for Tammuz. 

15 Then faid he unto me, Haft thou feen this, Ofon

abominations than thefe. 

16 H Aid he brought me into the inner court of the 
Lord's houfe ; and, behold, at the door of the temple 
of the Lord, between the porch and the altar, were 
about five and twenty men, with their backs toward 
the temple of the Lord, and their faces toward the 
eafl ; and they worl hipped the fun toward the eall. 

17 11 Then he find unto me, Haft thou feen this, O 
tot.h then fon of man I || Is it a. light thing to the houfe of Judah 

that they commit the abominations which they com- 
mit here ? for they have filled the land with violence, 
and have returned to provoke me to anger ; and, lo,

befide the brafen altar;. 

3 And the glory of the God of Ifrael was gone up 
from the -cherub whereupon he was to the threfhold 
of the houfe :: and he called to the man clothed with 
linen, which had the writer's inkhorn by his fide : 

4 And; the Lord faid. unto him, Go through the 
midft of the city, through the midft of Jerufalem, and 
f fet a a. mark upon the foreheads of the men that ligh,

eyes fpare,. neither have ye pity : 

6" Slay f utterly old and young, both maids, and lit- 
tle children, and women ; but come not near any man 
upon whom is the mark ; and begin at my fanctuary. 
Then they began at the ancient men which were before 
the houfe.. 

7 And he faid unto them, Defile the houfe, and fill 
the courts with the flain ; go ye forth. And they went 
forth, and flew in the city. 

8 If And it came to pafs, while they were flaying 
them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and 
cried, and faid, Ah, Lord God ! wilt thou deftroy all 
the relidue of Ifrael, in thy pouring out of thy fury 
upon Jerufalem ?. 

9 Then faid he unto me, The iniquity of the houfe 
of Ifrael and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is

5 And the b found of the cherubims' wings Was 
heard even to the outer court, as the voice of the Al- 
mighty God when he fpeaketh. 

6 And it came to pafs 3 that when he had command- 
ed the man clothed with linen^ laying, Take fare from 
between the wheels, from between the cherubims ; 
then he went in, and Hood befide the wheels. 

7 And one cherub fftretched forth his hand from 
between the cherubims unto the lire that was between 
the cherubims, and took thereof, and put it into the 
hands of him that %vas clothed with linen ; who took 
it, and went out. 

8 % And there appeared in the cherubims the form 
of a man's hand under their wings* 

9 And when I looked* behold, the four wheels by 
the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, and another 
wheel by another cherub : and the appearance of the 
wheels was as the colour of a c beryl itone, 

10 And as for their appearances, they four had one 
likenefs, as if a wheel had been in the midft of a wheel!; 

11 When they went, they went upon their four 
fides ; they turned not as they went, but to the place 
whither the head looked , they followed it ; they turn- 
ed not as they went* 

12 And their whole f body, and their backs,, and 
their hands, and their wings, and the wheels, wen? full 
of eyes round about, even the wheels that they four had. 

13 As for the wheels, || it was cried unto them in 
my hearing, O wheel « 

14 And every one had four faces : the firft face was 
the face of a cherub, and the fecond face was the face 
of a man, and the third the face of a lion, and the fourth 
the face of an eagle. 

15 And the cherubims were lifted up. This is the 
living creature that I faw by the river of Chebar. 

16 And when the cherubims went, the wheels went 
by them ; and when the cherubims lifted up their 
wings to mount up from the earth, the fame wheels 
alio turned not from befide them. 

17 When they ftood, these flood; and when they 
were lifted up, these lifted up themfelves also; for the 
fpirit || of the living Creature was in them. 

1 8 Then the glory of the Lord departed from oft'the 
threfhokl of the houfe, and flood over the cherubims. 

19 And the cherubims lifted up their wings, and 
mounted up from the earth in my light : when they 
went out, the wheels alio were befide them ; and every 
one ftood at the door of the caft gate of the Lord's 
houfe ; and the glory of the God of ifrael was over 
them abovd 

20 This is the living creature that I faw under the 
God of Ifrael by the river of Chebar ; and I knew that 
they were the cherubims. 

21 Every one had four faces apiece, and every one 
four wings ; and the likenefs of the hands of a man 
was under their wings. 

22 And the likenefs of their faces was the fame faces 
which I faw by the river of Chebar, their appearances

1 Ezekiel is shewed the presumption of the princes' of 
Judah : 4 their sin and punishment. 13 Pelatiah' s ' 
death. 14 God sheweth Ezekiel his purpose of re- 
storing the captives, and of punishing the idolaters. 
22 The glory of God leaveth the city. 24 Ezekiel 
proj)hesieth to them of the captivity. 

OREO VER, the fpirit lilted me up, and brought 
me unto the eafl gate of the Lord's houle, 
which looketh eaftward : and, behold, at the door of 
the gate five and twenty men j among whom I law 
Jaazaniah the fon of Azur, and Pelatiah the fon of 
Benaiah, princes of the people. 

2 Then laid he unto me, Sort of man, thefe are the 
men that devife mifchiefj and give wicked counfel in 
this city ; 

3 Which fay, || It is not * near ; let us build houfes : 
this city is the caldron, and we be the flefh. 
^ 4 If Therefore, prophefy againfl them, prophefy, O 
fon of mam 

5 And the fpirit of the Lord fell upon me, and faid 
unto me, Speak; Thus faith the Lord, Thus have 
ye faid, O houfe of Ifrael : for I know the things that 
come into your mind, every one c^them. 

6 Ye have multiplied your flain in this city, and ye 
have filled theftreets thereof with the flain. 

7 Therefore, thus faith the Lord God, Your flain, 
whom ye have laid in the midll of it, they are the 
flefh, and this city is the caldron ; but I will bring yoit 
forth out of the midll of it. 

8 Ye have feared the fword ; and I will bring a 
fword upon you, faith the Lord God. 

9 And I will bring you out of the midft thereof, and 
deliver you into the hands of ftrangers, and will exe- 
cute judgments among you. 

10 Ye fhall fall by the fword ; I will judge you in the 
border of Ifrael ; and ye fhall know that I am theLoRD. 

11 This city fhall not be your caldron, neither fhall 
ye be the flefh in the midft thereof; but I will judge 
you in the border of Ifrael i 

12 And ye fhall know that I am the Lord : || for 
ye have not walked in my ftatutes, neither executed v 
my judgments, but have done after the manners of the 
heathen that are round about you. 

^3 H And it came to pafs, when I prophefied, that 
Pelatiah the fon of Benaiah died : then fell I down 
upon my face and cried with a loud Voice, and faid, 
Ah, Lord God ! wilt thou make a full end of the 
remnant of Ifrael ? 

14 H Again the word of the Lord came unto me, 
faying, 

15 Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, 
the men of thy kindred, and all the houfe of Ifrael 
wholly, are the}' unto whom the inhabitants of Jeru- 
falem have faid, Get ye far from the Lord ; unto us 
is this land given in poffeflion. 

16 Therefore, fay, Thus faith the Lord God, Ah 
though I have caft them far oft' among the heathen, and 
although I have fcattered them among the countries, 
yet will I be to them as a little fanctuary in the coun- 
tries where they fhall come. 

17 Therefore, fay, Thus faith the Lord God, I will 
even gather you from the people , and affemble you 
out of the countries where ye have been fcattered, and 
I will give you the land of Ifrael. 

18 And they fhall come thither, and they fhall

take away all the detcftable things thereof, and all the

19 And b I will give them one heart, and I will put

out of their flefh, and will give them an heart of fleili : 

20 That they may walk in my ftatutes, and keep 
mine ordinances*, and do them; and they fhall be my 
people, and I will be their God. 

21 But as for them whofe heart walketh after the 
heart cf their deteftable tilings, and their abominations, 
I will rccpmpenfe their way upon their own heads, 
faith the Lord God* 

22 H Then did the cherubims lift up their wings, 
and the wheels belide them ; and the glory of the God 
of Ifrael was over them above. 

23 And the glory of the Lord went up from the 
mklft of the city, and flood upon the mountain which 
is on the eaft fide of the city. 

24 IT Afterwards the Spirit took me up, and brought 
me in a vifion by the Spirit of God into Chaldea, to 
them of the captivity : fo the vilion that I had feen 
went up from me. 

25 Then I fpake unto them of the captivity all the 
things that the Lord had fhevvcd me.

THE word of the Lord alfo came unto me, faying, 
2 Son of man, thou dwelled in the midft of a 
rebellious houfe, which have eyes to fee, and fee not ; 
they have ears to hear, and hear not ; for they arc a 
rebellious houfe. *%. •■ -v, 

3 Therefore, thou fon of man, prepare thee || fluff 
for removing, and rHlrWeT^y day in their fight ; and 
thou fhalt remove from thy place to another place in 
their fight : it may be they will coniider, though they 
be a rebellious houfe. 

4 Then fhalt thou bring forth thy fluff by day in their 
fight, as fluff for removing : and thou fhalt go forth at 
even in their light, \ as they that go forth into captivity. 

5 t Dig thou through the wall in their fight, and 
carry out thereby. 

6 In their light fhalt thou bear it upon thy (boul- 
ders, and carry it forth in the twilight : thou fhalt cover 
thy face that thou fee not the ground ; for I have let 
thee for a lign unto the houfe of Ifrael. 

7 And I did fo as I was commanded : I brought 
forth my fluff by day, as fluff for captivity, and in the 

i even I f digged through the wall with mine hand, I 
brought it forth in the twilight, and I bare it upon my 
fhouklerin their fight. 

8 If And in the morning came the word of the Lord 
unto me, faying, 

9 Son of man, hath not the houfe of Ifrael, the rebel- 
lious houfe, laid unto thee, What doefl thou ? 

r 10 Say thou unto them, Thus faith the Lord God, 
This burden concerneth the prince in Jerufalem, and 
all the houfe of Ifrael that are among them. 

1 1 Say, I am your fign : like as I have done, fb fhall 
it be done unto them ; t they fhall remove, and go 
into captivity. 

12 And the prince that is among them fhall bear upon 
bis ihouldcr in the twilight, and fhall go forth ; they

fhall dig through the wall to carry out thereby : he 
fhall cover his face, that he fee not the ground with 
his eyes. 

13 My a net alfo will Ifpread upon him, and he fhall 
be taken in my fnare : and I will bring him to Baby- 
lon, to the land of the Chaldeans ; yet ihall he not fee 
it, though he fhall die there. 

14 And I will fcatter toward every wind, all that are 
about him to help him, and all his bands ; and I will 
draw out the fword after them. 

15 And they fhall know that I am the Lord, when 
I fhall fcatter them among the nations, and difperfe 
them in the countries. 

16 But I will leave f a few men of them from the 
fword, from the famine, and from the peftilence, that 
they may declare all their abominations among the 
heathen whither they come ; and they fhall know that 
I am the Lord. 

17 II Moreover, the word of the Lord came to me, 
faying, 

18 Son of man, eat thy bread with quaking, and 
drink thy water with trembling and with carefuinefs ; 

19 And fay unto the people of the land, Thus faith 
the Lord God of the inhabitants of Jerufalem, andol 
the land of Ifrael, They fhall eat their bread with care- 
fuinefs, and drink their water with altonifhment, that 
her land may be defoiate from f all that is therein, be- 
caufe of the violence of all them that dwell therein. 

20 And the cities that are inhabited fhall be laid 
wafle, and the land fhall be defoiate ; and ye fhall 
know that I am the Lord. 

21 11 And the word of the Lord came unto me, 
faying, 

22 Son of man, what is that proverb that ye have in 
the land of Ifrael, faying, The days are prolonged, and 
every vifion faileth ? 

23 Tell them therefore, Thus faith the Lord God, 
I will make this proverb to ceafe, and they fhall no 
•more ufe it as a proverb in Ifrael ; but fay unto them, 
The days are at hand, and the effeel of every vilion. 

24 For there fhall be no more any vain vilion, nor 
flattering divination, within the houfe of Ifrael. 

25 For I am the Lord : I will fpeak, and the word 
that I fhall fpeak fhall come topafs; it fhall be no more 
prolonged : for in your days, O rebellious houfe, will 
I fay the word, and will perform it, faith the Lord 
God. , 

26 1 Again the word of the Lord came to me, 
faying, 

27 Son of man, behold, they of the houfe of Ifrael 
fay, The vilion that he feeth is b for many days to come, 
and he prophefieth of the times that are far off. 

28 Therefore, fay unto them, Tims faith the Lord 
God, There ihall none of my words be prolonged any

feen nothing !. 

4 Q Ifrael, thy prophets are like thefoxes inthedeferts. 

5 Ye have not gone up into the || gaps, neither 
t made up the hedge for the houfe of Ifrad, to Hand 
in the battle in the day of the Lord. 

6 They have feen vanity and lying divination, fay- 
ing, The Lord faith ; and the Lord hath not lent 
them : and they have made others to hope that they 
would confirm the word. 

7 Have ye not feen a vain vifion, and have ye not 
fpoken a lying divination, whereas ye fay, The Lord 
faith it, albeit,. I have not fpoken ? 

8 Therefore,, thus faith the Lord God, Becaufe ye 
have fpoken vanity,_and feen lies, therefore,, behold, 
I am againft you, faith the Lord God. 

9 And mine hand fhall be upon the prophets that 
fee vanity, and that divine lies : they fhall not be in

written in the writing of the houfe of Ifrael, neither 
fhall they enter into the land of Ifrael : and ye fhall 
know that I am the Lord God. 

10 Becaufe, even becaufe they have feduced my

one built up || a wall, and, lo, others daubed it with 
untempered mortar : 

1 1 Say unto them which daub it with untempered 
mortar, that it fhall fall : there fhall be an overflow- 
ing lhower ; and ye, O great hailftoncs, fhall fall, and 
aftormy wind fhall rend it. 

12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, fhall it not be faid 
unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have 
daubed it ? 

13 Therefore thus faith the Lord God, I will even 
rend it with aftormy wind in my fury ; and there fhall 
be an overflowing lhower in mine anger, and great 
hailftones in my fury, to confume it. 

14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daub- 
ed with untempered mortar, and bring it down to the 
ground, fo that the foundation thereof fhall be discov- 
ered, and it fhall fall, and ye fhall be confumedin the 
midft thereof; and ye fhall know that I am the Lord. 

15 Thus will laecomplifh my wrath upon the wall, 
and upon them that have daubed it with untempered 
mortar, and will fay unto you, The wall is no more, 
neither they that daubed it; 

16 To wit, the prophets of Ifrael, which prophefy 
concerning Jerufalem, and which fee vifions of peace

17 IT Like wife,, thou ion of man,' fet thy face againft

cometh to the prophet, I the Lord will anfwer him- 
that cometh according to the multitude of his idols ; 

5 That I may take the houfe of Ifrael in their own

their idols. 

6 If Therefore, fay unto the houfe of Ifrael, Thus

naan ; thy father was an Amorite, and thy mother an habitation' 
Hittite. 

4 And as for thy nativity, in the day thou waft born 
thy naval was not cut, neither waft thou wafhed in wa- 
ter || to fupple thee : thou waft not faked at all, nor jf^Qf™ 
fwaddled at all. 

5 None eye pitied thee, to do any of thefe unto thee, 
to have companion upon thee ; but thou waft caft out 
in the open field, to the loathing of thy perfon, in the 
day that thou waft born. 

6 H And when I patted by thee, and faw thee |j pol- 
luted in thine own blood, I faid unto thee, when thou 
wast in thy blood, Live ;_ yea, I faid unto thee, when 
thou wast in thy blood, Live. 

7 I'have f caufeel thee to multiply as the bud of the 
field, and thou haft increafed and waxen great, and thou «°" a " 
art come to | excellent ornaments : thy breafts are t Heb. W j. 
fafhioned, and thine hair is grown, whereas thou wast ZZlLT 
naked and bare. 

8 Now, when I paffed by thee, and looked upon 
thee, behold, thy time was the time of love ; and I 
fpread my fkirt over thee, and covered thy nakednefs : 
yea, I fvvare unto thee, and entered into a covenant 
with thee, faith theLoRDGod, and thou becameftmine. 

9 Then wafhed I thee with water ; yea, I thorough- 
ly wafhed away thy f blood from thee, and I anointed ?, K ?: 
thee with oil. 

10 I clothed thee alfo with broidered work, and fliod 
thee with badgers' fkin, and I girded thee about, with 
fine linen, and I covered thee with filk. 

11 I decked thee alfo with ornaments, and I put 
bracelets upon thine hands, and a chain on thy neck. 

12 And I put ajewel on thy forehead, and earrings 
in thine ears, and a beautiful crown upon thine head, 

13 Thus waft thou decked with gold and filver ; and 
thy raiment was of fine linen, and filk, and broidered 
work : thou didft eat fine flour, and honey, and oil ; 
and thou waft exceeding beautiful, and thou didft pros- 
per into a kingdom. 

14 And $hy renown went forth among the heathen 
for thy beauty ; for it was perfect through my comeli- 
nefs, which I had put upon thee, faith the Lord God. 

15 If But thou didft truft in thine own beauty, and 
playedft the harlot becaufe of thy renown, and pouredll 
out thy fornications on every one that palled by ; his 
it was. 

16 And of thy garments thou didft take, and deck- 
edft thy high places, with divers colours, and playedft 
the harlot thereupon : the like things lhall not come, 
neither fliall it be so.

faith the Lord God. 

20 Moreover, thou haft taken thy fons and thy 
daughters, whom thou haft borne unto me, and thefe 
haft thou facrificed unto them f to be devoured ; is 
this of thy whoredoms a fmall matter,. 

21 That thou haft flain my children, and delivered 
them to cauie them to pafs through the fire for them ? 

22 And in all thine abominations and thy whore- 
doms thou haft not remembered the days of thy youth, 
when thou was naked and bare., and waft polluted in 
thy blood. 

23 And it came to pafs, after all thy wickednefs, 
(woe, woe unto thee ! faith the Lord God,) 

24 That thou haft alfo built unto thee an ]i eminent 
place, and haft made thee an high place in every ftreet. 

25 Thou haft built thy high place at every head of 
the way, and haft made thy beauty to be abhorred, and 
•haft opened thy feet to every one that paffed by, and 
multiplied thy whoredoms. 

26 Thou haft alfo committed fornication with the 
Egyptians thy neighbours, great of flefh ; and haftin- 
creafed thy whoredoms, to provoke me to anger, 

27 Behold, therefore, I have ftretched out my hand 
over thee, and have diminifned thine ordinary food, 
and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, 
the II daughters of the Philiftines, which are afhamed 
of thy lewd way, 

28 Thou haft played the whore alfo with the Affy- 
rians, becaufe thou was unfatiable ; j r ea, thou haft 
played the harlot with them, and yet couldeft not be 
fotisfied, 

29 Thou haft, moreover, multiplied thy fornication 
in the land of Canaan unto Chaidea ; and yet thou waft 
not fatisfied herewith. 

30 flow weak is thine heart, faith the Lord God, 
feeing thou doeft all thefe things, the work of an im- 
perious whorifh woman ; 

31 || In that thou buildefl thine eminent place in the 
head of every way, and makeft thine high place in 
every ftreet ; and haft not been as an harlot, in that 
thou fcorneft hire ; 

32 But as a wife that committeth adultery, which 
taketh ftrangers inftead of her huf band ! 

33 They give gifts to all whores ; but thou giveft 
thy gifts to all thy lovers, and f hireft them, that they 
may come unto thee on every fide for thy whore- 
dom. 

34 And the contrary is in thee Irom other women 
in thy whoredoms, whereas none followeth thee to 
commit whoredoms : and in that thou giveft a reward, 
and no reward is given unto thee ; therefore thou art 
contrary. 

35 H Wherefore, Q harlot, hear the word of the 
Lord : 

36 Thus faith the Lord God, Becaufe thy filthinefs 
was poured out, and thy nakednefs difcovered through 
thy whoredoms with thy lovers, and with all the idols

which thou didft give unto them ; 

37 Behold, therefore I will gather all thy lovers, 
with whom thou haft taken pleafure, and all them that 
thou haft loved, with all them that thou haft hated ; I 
will even gather them round about againft thee, and 
will difcover thy nakednefs unto them, that they may 
fee all thy nakednefs, 

38 And I will judge thee, f as women that break tg^S 
wedlock, and fhed blood, are judged ; and I will give '' 

thee blood in fury and jealoufy. 

39 And I will alfo give thee into their hand, and 
they fhall throw down thine eminent place, and fhall 
break down thy high places : they fhall ftrip thee alfo 
of thy clothes, and mall take \ thy fair jeweis^and 
leave thee naked and bare. 

40 They {hall alfo bring up a company againft thee, 
and they fhall Hone thee with fiones, and thruft thee 
through with their fwords, 

41 And they fhall * burn thine houfes with fire, and a 2 KIn e s 
execute judgments upon thee in the fight of many wo- f«w-$a»i 
men : and I will caufe thee to ceafe from playing the 
harlot, and thou alfo llialt give no hire any more. 

42 So will I make my fury toward thee to re ft, and 
my jealoufy fhall depart from thee, and I will be quiet, 
and will be no more angry. 

43 Becaufe thou haft not remembered the days of 
thy youth, but haft fretted me in all thefe things ; be- 
hold, therefore I alfo will recompenfe thy way upon

45 Thou art thy mother's daughter t that loatheth

the captivity of thy captives in the midftof them ; 

54 That thou mayeft bear thine own fhame, and

55 When thy fillers, Sodom and her daughters,

which had t divers colours, came unto Lebanon, 
and took the higheft branch of the cedar : 

4 He cropped off the top of his young twigs, and 
carried it into a land of traffic ; he fet it in a city of

7 There was alio another great eagle with great 
wings and many feathers ; and, behold, this vine did 
bend her roots toward him, and fhot forth her branch- 
es toward him, that he might water it by the furrows 
of her plantation. 

8 It was planted in a good f foil by great waters, 
that it might bring forth branches, and that it might 
bear fruit, that it might be a goodly vine.

10 Yea, behold, being planted, fhall it profper ? 
fhall it not utterly wither when the eaft wind touch- 
eth it ? it fhall wither in the furrows where it grew. 

11 IT Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto 
me, faying, 

12 Say now to the rebellious houfe, Know ye not 
what thefe things mean? tell them, Behold, the king 
of Babylon is come to Jerufalem, and hath taken the 
king thereof, and the prinees thereof, and led them 
with him to Babylon; 

13 And hath_ taken of the king's feed, and made a 
covenant with him, and hath f taken an oath of him : 
he hath alfo taken the mighty of the land. 

14 That the kingdom might be bafe, that it might 
not lift itfelf up, f but that by keeping of his cove- 
nant it might ftand. 

15 But he rebelled againft him, in fending his am- 
baffadors into Egypt, that they might give him horfes, 
and much people ; fhall he profper ? fhall he ef- 
cape that doeth fuch things ? or fhall he break the 
covenant and be delivered ? 

16 As I live, faith the Lord God, furely in the 
place where the king dwelleth that made him king, 
whofe oath he defpifed, and whofe covenant he 
brake, even with him in the midit of Babylon he 
fhall die. 

17 Neither fhall Pharaoh, with his mighty army and 
great company, make for him in the war, by calling 
up mounts, and building forts, to cut offmany perfons. 

18 Seeing he defpifed the oath by breaking the cov- 
enant, (when, lo, he had given his hand,) and hath 
done all thefe things, he fhall not efcape. 

19 Therefore, thus faith the Lord God, As I live, 
furely mine oath that he hath defpifed, and my cov- 
enant, that he hath broken, even it will I recompenfe 
upon his own head. 

20 And I will a fpreacl my net upon him, and he 
fhall be taken in my fnare ; and I will bring him to 
Babylon, and will plead with him there for his tref- 
pafs that he hath trefpafled againft me. 

21 And all his fugitives, with all his bands, fhall fall 
by the fword, and they that remain fhall be fcattered 
toward all winds ; and ye fhall know that I the 
Lord have fpoken it. 

22 If Thus faith the Lord God, I will alfo take of 
the higeft branch of the high cedar, and will fet it : I 
will crop off from the top of his young twigs a tender 
one, and will plant it upon an high mountain and em- 
inent. 

23 In the mountain of the height of Ifrael will I 
plant it; and it fhall bring forth boughs, and bear fruit, 
and be a goodly cedar : and under it fhall dwell all 
fowl of every wing ; in the fhadow of the branches 
thereof fhall they dwell. 

24 And all the trees of the field fliall know that 
I the Lord have brought down the high tree, have 
exalted the low tree, have dried up the green tree, and 
have made the dry tree to flourifh : I the Lord have 
fpoken and have done it.

THE word of the Lord came unto me again, faying, 
2 What mean ye, that ye ufe this proverb con- 
cerning the land of Ifrael, faying, The a fathers have eat- 
en four grapes, and the children's teeth are feton edge ? 

3 As I live, faith the Lord God, ye fhall not have 
occasion any more to ufe this proverb in Ifrael. 

4 Behold, all fouls are mine ; as the foul of the fa- 
ther, lb alfo the foul of the fon is mine ; the foul that 
fmneth, it fhall die. 

5 II But if a man be juft, and do t that which is law- 
ful and right, 

6 And hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither 
hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the houfe of If- 
rael, neither hath b defiled his neighbour's wife, nei- 
ther hath come near to c a menftruous woman, 

7 And "hath not d oppreffed any, but hath reftored 
to the debtor his * pledge, hath fpoiled none by vio- 
lence, hath f given his bread to the hungry, and hath 
covered the naked with a garment ; 

8 He that hath not given forth upon g ufury, neither 
hath taken any increafe, that hath withdrawn his hand 
from iniquity, hath executed true judgment between 
man and man ; 

9 Hath walked in my ftatutes, and hath kept my 
judgments, to deal truly ; he is juft, he fhall furely 
live, faith the Lord God. 

10 IT If he beget a fon that is a || robber, a (header 
.of blood, and || that doeth the like to any one of thefe 
things, 

11 And that doeth not any of thok duties, but even 
hath eaten upon the mountains, and defiled his 
neighbour's wife, 

12 Hath oppreffed the poor and needy, hath fpoiled 
by violence, hath not reftored the pledge, and hath lifted 
up his eyes to the idols, hath committed abomination, 

13 Hath given forth upon ufury, and hath taken in- 
creafe ; fhall he then live ? he fhall not live : he hath 
done all thefe abominations ; he fhall furely die : his 
t blood fhall be upon him. 

14 II Now, lo, if he beget a fon that feeth all his 
father's fins which he hath done, and coniidereth, and 
doeth notfuch like ; 

15 That hath not eaten upon the mountains, neither 
hath lifted up his eyes to the idols of the houfe of If- 
rael, hath not defiled his neighbour's wife, 

16 Neither hath oppreffed any, f hath not with- 
holden the pledge, neither hath fpoiled by violence, 
but hath given his bread to the hungry, and hath cov- 
ered the naked with a garment ; 

17 That hath taken off his hand from the poor, that 
hath not received ufury nor increafe, hath executed 
my judgments, hath walked in my ftatutes ; he fhall 
not die for the iniquity of his father, he fhall furely live. 

18 As for his father, becaufe he cruelly oppreffed, 
fpoiled his brother by violence, and did that which is 
not good among his people, lo, even he fhall die in 
his iniquity. 

19 H Yet fay ye, Why ? doth not the fon bear the 
iniquity of the father ? When the fon hath done that 
which is lawful and right, and hath kept all my ftat- 
utes, and hath done them, he fhall furely live.

20 The foul that finneth, it fhall die, h The fon fhall 
not bear the iniquity of the father, neither fhall the 
father bear the iniquity of the fon ; the righteouf- 
nefs of the righteous fhall be upon him, and the wick- 
ednefs of the wicked fhall be upon him. 

21 IT But if the wicked will turn from all his fins 
that he hath committed, and keep all my ftatutes, and 
do that which is lawful and right, he fhall furely live, 
he fhall not die, 

22 All his tranfgrcmons that he hath committed, 
they fhall not be mentioned unto him : in his right- 
eoufnefs that he hath done he fhall live. 

_ 23 ^ave I any pleafure at all that the wicked fhould \f^' 
die ? faith the Lord God ; and not that he fhould re- 
turn from his ways, and live ? 

_ 24 H But when the righteous turneth away from his 
righteoufnefs, and committeth iniquity, and doeth ac- 
cording to all the abominations that the wicked man 
doeth, fhall he live ? All his righteoufnefs that he hath . 
done fhall not be mentioned : in his trefpafs that he 
hath trefpaffed, and in his fin that he hath finned, in 
them fhall he die. 

25 II Yet ye fay, k The way of the Lord is not equal. 
Hear now, O houfe of Ifrael, Is not my way equal ? 
are not your ways unequal ? 

_ 26 When a righteous man turneth away from his 
righteoufnefs, and committeth iniquity, and dieth in 
them ; for his iniquity that he hath done fhall he die. N 

_ 27 Again, when the wicked man turneth away from 
his wickednefs that he hath committed, and doeth that 
which is lawful and right, he fhall fave his foul alive. 

28 Becaufe he coniidereth, and turneth away from 
all his tranfgreffions that he hath committed, he fhall 
furely live, he fhall not die. 

29 Yet faith the houfe of Ifrael, The way of the 
Lord is not equal. O houfe of Ifrael, are not my ways 
equal ? are not your ways unequal ? 

30 Therefore I will judge you, O houfe of Ifrael, 
every one according to his ways, faith the Lord God : 
1 repent, and turn || yourselves from all your tranfgref- 
fions : fo iniquity fhall not be your ruin. 

31 II Call away from you all your tranfgreiiions, 
whereby ye have tranfgreffed ; and make you a m new m jerem 
heart, ancl a new fpirit ; for why will ye die, O houfe chlp.'n i 
of Ifrael? 

32 For n I have no pleafure in the death of him that 
dieth, faith the Lord God : wherefore, turn || your-

1 God refuseth to be consulted by the elders of Israel:

wilderness, 27 and in the promised land: 33 he 
threateneth to ride them with rigour, but promiseth 
to gather them, &&.. 45 The destruction of Jerusalem 
prophesied.- 

AND it cametopafs, in the feventh year, in the 
fifth month, the tenth day of the month, that 
certain of the elders of Ifrael came to inquire of the 
Lord, and fat before me. 

2 Then came the word of the Lord unto me, faying, 

3 Son of man, fpeak unto the elders of Ifrael, and 
lay unto them, Thus faith the Lord God, Are ye 
come to inquire of me? As I live, faith the Lord 
God, I will not be inquired of by you. 

4 H Wilt thou || a judge them, fon of man, wilt thou 
judge them ?' caufe them to know the abominations of 
their fathers ; 

5 And fay unto them, Thus faith the Lord God, 
In the day when I chofe Ifrael, and II lifted up mine 
hand unto the feed of the houfe of Jacob, and made 
myfelf b known unto them in the land of Egypt, when 
I lifted up mine hand unto them, faying, I am the 
Lord your God : 

6 In the day that I lifted up mine hand unto them, 
to bring them forth of the land of Egypt into a land 
that I had efpied for them, flowing with milk and honey, 
which is the glory of all lands ; 

7 Then laid I unto them, Cafl ye away every man 
the abominations of his eyes, and defile not yourfelves 
with the idols of Egypt : I am the Lord your God. 

8 But they rebelled againfl me, and would not 
hearken unto me ■ thev did not every man cafl away 
the abominations of their eyes, neither did they forfake 
the idols of Egypt; then I faid, I wiU pour out my 



fury upon them, to accomplifh my anger againfl them 
in the midfl of the land of Egypt. 

9 But I wrought for my name's fake, that it fhould 
not be polluted before the heathen among whom they 
were, in whofe fight I made myfelf known unto them, 
in bringing them forth out of the land of Egypt. 

10 Wherefore I c caufed them to go forth out of the 
land of Egypt, and brought them into the wildernefs ; 

1 1 And I gave them my flatutes, and t ihewed them 
my judgments, d which if a. man do, he fhall even live 
in them. 

12 Moreover alfo I gave them my e fabbaths, to be 
a fign between me and them, that they might know 
that I am the Lord that fanclify them-' 

13 U But the houfe of Ifrael rebelled againfl me in 
the wildernefs r they walked not in my flatutes, and 
they defpifed my judgments, which if a man do, he 
fhall even live in them ; and my fabbaths they greatly 
f polluted : then I faid, I would pour out my fury upon 
them in the s wildernefs to confume them: 

14 But I wrought for my name's fake, that it fhould 
not be polluted before the heathen, in whofe fight I 
brought them out. 

15 Yet alfo I lifted up my hand unto them in the 
wildernefs, that I would not bring them into the land 
which I had given them, flowing with milk and honey, 
which is the glory of all lands ; 

16 Becaufe they defpifed my judgments, and walked 
not in my flatutes, but polluted my fabbaths : for their 
heart went after their idols. 

17 Neverthelefs,mine eye fbarecithem from deflro3 r - 
ing them, neither did I make an end of them in the 
wildernefs : 

18 But I faid unto their children in the wildernefs, 
Walk ye not in the flatutes of your fathers, neither 
obferve their judgments, nor defile yourfelves with 
their idols : 

19 I am the Lord your God ; walk in my flatutes, 
and keep my judgments, and do them ; 

20 And hallow my fabbaths ; and they fhall be a 
fign between me and you, that ye may know that I 
am the Lord your God. 

21 Notwithftandingj the children rebelled againfl 
me : they walked not in my flatutes, neither kept my 
judgments to do them, which if a man do, he fhall 
even live in them ; they polluted my fabbaths : then 
I faid, I would pour out my fury upon them, to accom- 
plifh my anger againfl them in the wildernefs. 

22 Ncverthelefs, I withdrew mine hand, and wrought 
for my name's fake, that it fhould not be polluted in the 
fight of the heathen, in whole fight I brought them forth. 

23 I lifted up mine hand unto them alfo in the wil- 
dernefs, that I would fcatter them among the heathen, 
and difperfe them through the countries ; 

24 Becaufe they had not executed my judgments, 
but had defpifed my flatutes, and had polluted my 
fabbaths,. and their eyes were after their father's idols. 

25 Wherefore I gave them alfo flatutes that were not 
good, and judgments whereby they fhould not live : 

26 And I polluted them- in their own gifts, in that 
they caufed to pafs h through the fire all that openeth 
the womb, that I might make them defolate, to the 
end that they might know that I am the Lord. 

27 H Therefore, fon of man, fpeak unto the houfe 
of Ifrael, and fay unto them, Thus faith the Lord

28 For when I had brought them into the land, /or

then they faw every high hill, and all the thick trees, 
and they ofiered there their facrifices, and there they

3 1 For when ye offer your gifts, when ye make your 
fons to pafs through the fire, ye pollute yourfeives with 
all your idols even unto this day : and fhall I be in- 
quired of by you, O houfe of Ifrael ? As I live, faith 
the Lord God, I will not be inquired of by you. 

32 And that which cometh into your mind fhall not

33 U As I live, faith the Lord God, fureiy with a

34 And I will bring you out from the people, and 
will gather you out of the countries wherein ye are 
fcattered with a mighty hand, and with a ftretched out 
arm, and with fury poured out. 

35 And I will bring you into the wildcrnefs of the 
people, and there will I plead with you face to face. 

36 Like as I pleaded with your fathers in the wil- 
derneis of the land of Egypt, fo will I plead with you, 
faith the Lord God. 

37 And I will caufe you to pafs under the rod, and 
I will bring you into H the bond of the covenant. 

38 And I will purge out from among you the rebels, 
and them that tranfgrefs againft me : I will bring them 
forth out of the country where they fojourn, and they 
fhall not enter into the land of Ifrael ; and ye fhall 
know that lam the Lord. 

39 As for you, O houfe of Ifrael, thus faith the 
Lord God, Go ye, ferve ye every one his idols, and 
hereafter a/so, if ye will not hearken unto me : but 
pollute ye my holy nani^no more with your gifts, and 
with your idols. 

40 For in mine holy mountain, in the mountain of 
the height of Ifrael, faith the Lord God, there ihall all 
the houie of Ifrael, all of them in the land, ferve me : 
there will I accept them, and there will I require your 

4<>r, chief, offerings, and the || firft fruits of your oblations, with 
all your holy things. 

411 will accept you with your f fweet favour, when 
I bring you out from the people, and gather you out 
of the countries wherein ye have been fcattered, and 
I will be fanctified in you before the heathen. 

42 And ye ihall know that I am the Lord, when 
I fhall bring you into the land of Ifrael, into the coun- 
try for the which I lifted up mine hand to give it to 
your fathers. 

43 And there fhall ye remember your ways, and all 
your doings, wherein ye have been defiled ; and ye 
fhall loathe yourfeives in your own fight for all your

22 At his right hand was the divination for Jerufa-

and in thee they eat upon the mountains ; in the miclft

11 And || one hath committed abomination with

ence between the holy and profane, neither have they 
fhewed difference between the unclean and the clean, 
and have hid their eyes from my fabbaths, and I am 
profaned among them. 

27 Her ' princes in the midft thereof are like wolves 
ravening the prey, to flied blood, and to deftroy fouls, 
to get difhoneft gain. 

28 And her prophets have daubed them with un- 
tempered mortar, feeing vanity, and divining lies unto 
them, faying, Thus faith the Lord God, when the

bruifed the breafts of her virginity, and poured their 
whoredom upon her. 

9 Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of 
her lovers, into the hand of the a Affyrians, upon whom * 'Kings 
(lie doted. 173 
- 10 Thefe difcovered her nakednefs : they took her 
fons and her daughters, and flew her with the fword ; 
and fhe became t famous among women : for they 
had executed judgment upon her. 

11 And when her lifter Aholibah faw this, f fhe 
was more corrupt in her inordinate love than ihe, and 
in her whoredoms f more than her filler in her whore- 
doms. 

12 She doted upon the b Affyrians her neighbours, 
captains and rulers clothed moft gorgeoufly, horfemen «/■ *7r"™«t! 
riding upon horfes, all of them defirable young men. rt 7 Kin£S 

13 Then I faw that fhe was defiled, that they took 
both one way ; 

14 And that fhe increafed her whoredoms : for 
when fhe faw men portrayed upon the wall, the images 
of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion, 

15 Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding 
in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to 
look to, after the manner of the Babyloniansof Chaldea, 
the land of their nativity : 

16 And f as foon as fhe faw them with her eyes, fhe tHeb.a«jJ 
doted upon them, and fent meffengers unto them into *>«.' er 
Chaldea. 

17 And the t Babylonians came to her into the bed j" r " e ^£,„ 
of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, 

and flie was polluted with them, and her mind was 

t alienated from them. I"^'/^' 

18 So fhe difcovered her whoredoms, and difeov- Tl 
ered her nakednefs : then my mind was alienated from 
her, like as my mind was alienated from her filler. 

19 Yet fhe multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to 
remembrance the days of her youth, wherein fhe had 
played the harlot in the land of Egypt. 

20 For fhe doted upon their paramours, whofe flefh 
is as the flefh of affes, and whofe iffue is like the iffue 
of horfes. 

21 Thus thou calledft to remembrance the lewdnefs 
of thy youth, in bruifing thy teats by the Egyptians 
for the paps of thy youth. 

22 Tf Therefore, O Aholibah, thus faith the Lord 
God, Behold, I will raife up thy lovers againft thee, 
from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring' 

f-them againft thee on every fide ; 

23 The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, 
and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Affyrians with them-: 
all of them defirable young men, captains and rulers, 
great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon 
horfes. 

24 And they fhall come againft thee with chariots, 

waggons, 






Their adulteries reproved.

which fliall fet againft tliee buckler, and fhield, and 
helmet, round about : and I will fet judgment before 
them, and they fliall judge thee according to their 
judgments. 

25 And I will fet my jealoufy againft thee, and they 
fliall deal furiOufly with thee : they fliall take away 
thy nofe and thine ears ; and thy remnant fhall fall 
by the fword : they fliall take thy fons and thy daugh- 
ters ; and thy relidue fliall be devoured by the fire. 

26 They ill all alfo flrip thee out of thy clothes, and 
take away thy t fair jewels. 

27 Thus will I make thy lewdnefs to ceafe from 
thee, and thy whoredom' brought from the land of 
Egypt ; fo that thou ilialt not lift up thine eyes unto 
tliem, nor remember Egypt any more. 

28 For thus faith the Lord God, Behold, I will de- 
liver thee into the hand of them whom thou hateft, in- 
to the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated : 

29 And they fliall deal with thee hatefully, and fliall 
take away all thy labour, and fliall leave thee naked 
and bare ; and the nakednefs of thy whoredoms fliall 
be difcovered, both thy lewdnefs and thy whoredoms. 

30 1 will do thefe things unto thee, becaufe thou haft 
gone a whoring after the heathen, and becaufe thou 
art polluted with their idols. 

31 Thou haft walked in the way of thy filler ; there- 
fore will I give her cup into thine hand. 

32 Thus faith the Lord God, Thou ilialt drink of 
thy tifter's cup deep and large : thou fhait be iaughed 
to fcorn, and had in derifion ; it containeth much. 

33 Thou ilialt be filled with drunkennefs and for- 
row, with the cup of aftonifliment anddefolation, with 
the cup of thy iifter Samaria. 

34 Thou ilialt even drink it, and fuck it out, and 
thou (halt break the flierds thereof, and pluck off thine 
own breafts: for I have fpoken it, faith the Lord God. 

35 Therefore, thus faith the Lord God, Becaufe 
thou haft forgotten me, and caftme behind thy back, 
therefore bear thou alfo thy lewdnefs and thy whore- 
doms. 

36 If The Lord faid moreover unto me, Son of 
man, wilt thou c || judge Aholah and Aholibah ? yea, 
declare unto them their abominations ; 

37 That they have committed adultery, and blood 
is in their hands, and with their idols have they com- 
mitted adultery ; and have alfo caufed their ions, 
whom they bare unto me, to pafs for them through 
the fire to devour them. 

38 Moreover, this they have done unto me ; they 
have defiled my fanctuary in the fame day, and have 
profaned my i'abbaths : 

39 For when they had ilain their children to their 
idols, then they came the fame day into my iancluary 
to profane it ; and lo, d thus have they clone in the 
midft* of mine houfe. 

40 And furthermore, that ye have fent for men

put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns 
upon their heads. 

43 Then laid I unto her that was old in adulteries, 
Will they now commit f whoredoms with her, and 
flie with them ? 

44 Yet they went in unto her ; as they go in unto 
a woman that playeth the harlot, fo went they in unto 
Aholah and unto Aholibah the lewd women. 

45 And the righteous men, they fliall f judge them fchap. 
after the manner of adultereifes, and after the man- l638 " 
her of women that fhed blood ; becaufe they are 
adultereifes, and blood is in their hands. 

46 For thus faith the Lord God, I will bring up 

a company upon them, and will give them f to be ^'/{f a 
removed and ipoiled. a»dV/f. 

47 And the company fliall ftone them with ftones, 
and || difpatch them # with their i words; they fliall 
flay their fons and their daughters, and burn up their 
houfes with fire. 

48 Thus will I caufe lewdnefs to ceafe out of the 
land, that all women may be taught not to do after 
your lewdnefs. 

49 And they fliall recompenfe your lewdnefs upon 
you, and ye fliall bear the iins of your idols ; and ye

CHAP. XXIV. 

1 By the parable of a boiling pot is.sbewed the destruc- 
tion of Jerusalem. 15 Ezekiel is forbid to mourn for 
the death of his wife, 19 to denote that the calamity 
of the Jews shall be beyond all expression of sorrow. 

AGAIN, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, 
in the tenth day of the month, the word of the 
Lord came unto me, faying, 

2 Son of man, Write thee the name of the day, 
even of this fame day: the king of Babylon fet him- 
felf againft Jerufalem this fame day. 

3 And utter a parable unto the rebellious houfe, 
and fay unto them, Thus faith the Lo'rd God, Set on 
a pot, fet it on, and alio pour water into it : 

_ 4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every good 
piece, the thigh, and the fhoulder ; fill it with the 
choice bones. 

5 Take the choice of the flock, and || burn alfo the \or,heep. 
bones under it, and make it boil well, and let them 
feethe the bones of it therein. 

6 H Wherefore thus faith the Lord God, Woe to 
the bloody city, to the pot whofe feum is therein, and 
whofe fcum is not gone out of it ! bring it out piece by 
piece ; let no lot fall upon it. 

7 For her blood is in the midil of her ; flic fet it 
upon the top of a rock ; flie poured it not upon the 
ground to cover it with duft ; 

8 That it might caufe fury to come up to take ven- 
geance, I have let her blood upon the top of a rock, 
that it Ihould not be covered. 

9 Therefore thus faith the Lord God, a Woe to the •■> n..i>. 3 u 
bloody city ! I will even make the pile for fire great. 

10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, confume the flelh, 
and fpice it well, and let the bones be burnt. 

11 Then let it empty upon the coals thereof, that 
the brafs of it may be hot, and may burn, and that the 
filthinefsof it may be molten in it, that the fcum of it 
may be confumed.

13 In thy filthinefs is lewdness-: becaufe I have 
purged thee, and thou waft not purged, thou {halt not

c-auft-d my fury to reft upon thee. 

14 I the Lord have fpoken it .• it fliali come to 
pa's, and I will do it ; I will not go back, neither will 
I ipar>e, neither will I repent : according to thy ways, 
and according to thy doings, fhall they judge thee, 
faith the Lord God. 

1511 Alio the word of the Lord came untome, faying, 

16 Son of man, behold, I take away from thee the 
deliie of thine eyes with a ftroke : yet neither (halt thou 
mourn nor weep, neither {hall thy tears f run down. 

17 f Forbear to cry, make no mourning for the" 
dead, bind the tire of thine head upon thee, and put 
on thy fhoes upon thy feet, and cover not thy f lips, 
and eat not the bread of men. 

18 So I fpeak unto the people in the morning, and 
at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as 
I was commanded. 

19 If And the people faid unto me, Wilt thou not 
tell us what thefe things are to us, that thou eloeft so ? 

20 Then I anfwered them, The word of the Lord 
came unto me, faying, 

21 Speak unto the houfe of Ifrael, Thus faith the 
Lord God, Behold, I will profane my fanctuary, the 
excellency of your ftrength, thedefire of your ej^es, and 
f that which your foul pitieth ; and your fons and your 
daughters whom ye have left fhall fall by the fword. 

22 And ye fhall do as I have done : ye fhall not 
cover your lips, nor eat the bread of men. 

23 And your tires shall be upon your heads, and 
your fhoes upon 5-our feet : ye fhall not mourn nor 
M'eep ; but ye fliali pine away for your iniquities, anel 
mourn one towards another, 

24 Thus Ezekiel is unto you a fign : according 
to all that he hath done fliali ye do ; and when this 
cometh, ye fliali know that Vam the. Lord God. • 

25 IF Alfo, thou fon of man, shall it not be in the day 
when I take from them their ftrength, the joy of their 
glory, the defire of their eyes, and t that whereupon 
they let their minds, their fons and their daughters, 

26 That he that efcapeth in that day fhall come un- 
to thee, to caufe thee to hear it With thine ems ? 

27 In that day ihall thy mouth be opened to him 
which isefcaped, anel thou fhalt fpeak, and be no

and they fhall know that lam the Lord.

defolate ; and againft the houfe of Judah, when they 
went into captivity ; 

4 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the f men 
of the eaft for a poffelTion, and they fhall fet their 
palaces in thee, and make their dwellings in thee ; 



. they friall eat thy fruit, and they fliali drink thy milk. 

5 And I will make Rabbah a liable for camels, and 
the Ammonites a couching place for flocks; and ye 
ihall know that I am the Lord. 

6 For thus faith the Lord God, Becaufe thou haft 
clapped . thine i hands, and ftamped with the t feet, 
and rejoiced in t heart with all thy defpite againft the 
land of Ifrael ; : 

7 Behold, therefore I will ftretch out mine hand upon

and I will cut thee off from the people, and I will 
caufe thee to p.efifh out of the countries : Twill de- 
ftroy thee ; and thou fhalt know that Law the Lord. 

8-11 Thus faith the Lord God, b Becaufe that Moab 
and Seir do lay, Behold, the houfe of Judah is like 
unto all the heathen : 

9 Therefore, behold, I will open the t fide of Moab 
from the cities, from his cities which are on his fron-

hath dealt againft the houfe of Judah, t by taking 
vengeance, and hath greatly offended, and revenged 
himfelf upon them ; 

13 Therefore , thus faith the Lord God, I will alfo 
ftretch out mine hand upon Edom, and wall cut off 
man and beaft from it; and I will make it defolate from 
Teman ; and || they of Dedan fliali fall by the fword. 

14 And I will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the

according to mine anger, and according to my fury ; 
and they ihall know my vengeance, faith the LoRDGod.

The judgment upon Zidon, 

thou hail gotten thee riches, and haft gotten gold and 
filver into thy treafures : ' 

5 f By thy great wifdom, and by thy traffic, haft 
thou mcreaied thy riches, and thine heart is lifted up 
becaufe of thy riches : 

6 Therefore thus faith the Lord God, becaufe thou 
haft fet thine heart as the heart of God ; 

7 Behold, therefore I will bring ftrangers upon thee, 
the terrible of the nations : and they i hall draw their 
fwords againft the beauty of thy wifdom, and they 
fhall defile thy brightnefs. 

8 They fhall bring thee down to the pit, and thou 
fhalt die the deaths of them that are ilain in the midft

9 Wiit thou yet fay before him that flayeth thee, I 
am God ? but thou shah be a man, and no god, in the 
hand of him that || flayeth thee. 

10 Thou fhalt die the deaths of the uncircumcifed 
by the hand of ftrangers ; fori havefpoken it, faith the 
Lord God. 

11 H Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto 
me, faying, 

12 Son of man, take up a lamentation upon the king 
of Tyrus, and fay unto him, Thus faith the Lord 
God, Thou fealeft up the fum, full of wifdom, and 
perfect in beauty. 

13 Thou haft been in Eden, the garden of God ; 
every precious ftone was thy covering, the || fardius, 
topaz, and the diamond, the || beryl, the onyx, and the 
jafper, the fapphire, the || emerald, and the carbuncle, 
and gold : the workmanlhip of thy tabrets and of thy «**«* 
pipes was prepared in thee in the day that thou waft 
created. 

14 Thou art the anointed cherub that covereth ; 
and I have fet thee so : thou waft upon the holy moun- 
tain of God ; thou haft walked up and down in the 
midft of the ftones of fire. 

15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that 
thou waft created, till iniquity was found in thee. 

16 By the multitude of thy merchandife they have 
filled the midft of thee with violence, and thou haft 
finned : therefore I will caft thee as profane out of the 
mountain of God ; and I will deftroy thee, O covering 
cherub, from the midft of the ftones of fire. 

17 Thine heart was lifted up becaufe of thy beauty ; 
thou haft corrupted thy wifdom by reafon of thy bright- 
nefs ; I will caft thee to the ground, I will lay thee be- 
fore kings, that they may behold thee. 

18 Thou haft defiled thy fanctluaries by the multitude 
of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traffic ; there- 
fore will I bring forth a fire from the midft of thee, it 
lhall devour thee ; and I will bring thee to alhes upon 
the earth in the fight of all them that behold thee.

the fifh of thy rivers to ftick unto thy fcales ; and I will 
bring thee up out of the midft of thy rivers, and all the

5 And I will leave thee thrown into the wildernefs, 
thee and all the fifh of thy rivers : thou fhalt fall upon 

IfttefiZu. tne 1 0P en fields ; thou ihait not be brought together, 
nor gathered : I have given thee for meat to the beafts 
of the field, and to the fowls of the heaven. 

6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt fhall know that I 
k^Kinp am the Lord, becaufe they have been a b ftafF of reed 
isiiah 36 s. to the houfe of Ifrael. 

7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou 
didft break, and rend all their fhoulder ; and when 
they leaned upon thee, thou brakeft, and madeft all 
their loins to be at a ftand. 

8 If Therefore, thus faith the Lord God, Behold, 
I will bring a fword upon thee, and cut off man and

P9 And the land of Egypt fhall be defolate and wafte :

13 Yet thus, faith the Lord God, At th; ".end of

16 And it fhall be no more the confidence of the 
houfe of Ifrael, which bringeth their iniquity to re- 
membrance, when they fhall look after them : but

17 H And it came to pafs, in the feven and twentieth st..

for the fervice that he had ferved againft it : 

19 Therefore, thus faith the Lord God, Behold, I

_ 7 Thus was lie fair in his greatnefs, in the length of

_ 8 The cedars in the b garden of God could not hide t> Gen, a a,

in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty. 

9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his 
branches ; fo that all the trees of Eden, that were in 
the garden of God, envied him. 

10 Therefore, thus faith the Lord God, Becaufe 
thou hall lifted up thyfelf in height, and he hath ihot 
up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is 
lifted up in his height ; 

111 have therefore delivered him into the hand of

12 And Grangers, the terrible of the nations, have

and in all the vallies, his branches are fallen, and his 
boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land ; and 
all the people of the earth are gone down from his 
fliadow, and have left him. 

13 Upon his ruin fliall all the fowls of the heaven 
remain, and all the beafts of the field ihall be upon his 
branches ; 

14 To the end that none of all the trees by the wa- 
ters exalt themfelves for their height, neither fhoot up 
their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees 
II Hand up in their height, all that drink water : for 
they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of 
the earth, in the mklft of the children of men, with 
them that go down to the pit. 

15 Thus faith the Lord God, In the day when he 
went down to the grave I caufed a mourning : I cov- 
ered the deep for him, and I reftrained the floods there- 
of, and the great waters were flayed ; and I caufed Leb- 
anon. to f mourn for him, and all the trees of the field 
fainted for him. 

16 I made the nations to fhake at the found of his

fcend into the pit : and all the trees of Eden, the

17 They alfo went down into hell with him unto

their sin, and shall be restored with blessings for the 
sake of God's name only.

jt\. tains of Ifrael, and fay, Ye mountains of Ifrael, 
hear the word of the Lo r d . 

2 Thus faith the Lord God, Becaufe the enemy 
hath faid againft you, Aha, even the ancient high places 
are ours in poffeifton ; 

3 Therefore, prophefy, and fay, Thus faith the Lord 
+ Heb. nc- God, t Becaufe they have made you defolate, and 
ItcauS' fwallowed you up on every fide, that ye might be a 
D or, ye are poffeftion unto the refidue of the heathen , and || ye are 
v$£!he%\f taken up in die lips of talkers, and are an infamy of the 

t&tnsv. peop ] e . 

4 Therefore, ye mountains of Ifrael, hear the word 
of the Lord God : Thus faith the Lord God to the 

lr 0r ia!lT ms ' mountains, and to the hills, to the H rivers, and to the 
vallies, to the defolate waftes, and to the cities that are 
forfaken, which became a prey and derifionto the reli- 
due of the heathen that are round about ; 

5 Therefore, thus faith the Lord God, Surely in the 
fire of my jealoufy have I fpoken againft the refidue of 
the heathen, and againft all Idurnea, which have ap- 
pointed my land into their poffefnon with the joy of all 
their heart, with defpiteful minds, to caft it out for a 
prey. 

6 Prophefy, therefore, concerning the land of Ifrael, 
and fay unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the .riv- 
ers, and to the vailies, Thus faith the Lord God, Be- 
hold, I have fpoken in my jealoufy and in my fury, be- 
caufe ye have borne the lhame of the heathen ; 

7 Therefore, thus faith the Lord God, I have lifted 



Israel rejected for their sinu 

up mine hand, Surely the heathen that are about you, 
they fhall bear their fhame. 

8 But ye, O mountains of Ifrael, ye fhall fhoot forth 
your branches, and yield your fruit to my people of 
Ifrael ; for they are at hand to come. 

9 For, behold, I am for you, and I will turn unto 
you, and ye fhall be tilled and fown : 

10 And I will multiply men upon you, all the houfe 
of Ifrael, even all of it ; and the cities fhall be inhabited, 
and the waftes fhall be builded : 

11 And I will multiply upon you man and beaft, 
and they fhall increafe and bring fruit : and I will fet- 
tle you after your oki eftates, and will do better unto 
you than at your beginnings ; and ye fhall know that I 
am the Lord. 

12 Yea, I will caufe men to walk upon you,^w«my 
people Ifrael ;_ and they fhall poffefs thee, and thou 
fhalt be their inheritance, and thou fhalt no more 
henceforth bereave diem of men. 

13 Thus faith the Lord God, Becaufe they fay un- 
to you, Thou /tf;zc/devoureft up men, and hall bereav- 
ed thy nations ; 

14 Therefore thou fhalt devour men no more, neither 

|| bereave thy nations any more, faith the Lord God. 1 or. ca u&i 

15 Neither will I caufe men to hear in thee the fhame ,ofal! ' 
of the heathen any more, neither fhalt thou bear the 
reproach of the people any more, neither fhalt thou 
caufe thy nations to fall any more, faith the Lord God. 

16 H Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto 
me, faying, 

17 Son of man, when the houfe of Ifrael dwelt in 
their own land, they defiled it by their own way, and 
by their doings : their way was before me as the un- 
cleannefs of a removed woman.- 

18 Wherefore, I poured my fury upon them for the 
blood that they had fhed upon the land, and for their 
idols wherewith they had polluted it. 

19 And I fcattered them among the heathen, and they 
were difperfed through the countries : according to 
their way, and according to their doings, I judged them. 

20 And when they entered unto the heat hen, whither 

they went, they b profaned my holy name, when they bisaia&s*^ 
faid to them, Thefe are the people of the Lord, and Rom ' 22 * 
are gone forth out of his land. 

21 But I had pity for mine holy name, which the 
houfe of Ifrael had profaned among the heathen, whi- 
ther they went. 

22 Therefore fay unto the houfe of Ifrael, Thus faith, 
the Lord God, I do not this for your fakes, O houfe of 
Ifrael, but for mine holy name's fake, which ye have 
profaned among the heathen, whither ye went. 

23 And I will fan&ify my great name, which was 
profaned among the heathen, which ye have profaned 
in the midft of them : and the heathen fhall know that 
I am the Lord, faith the Lord God, when I fhall be 
fancYified in you before II their eyes. B or,,<,»r; 

24 For I will take you from among the heathen, and 
gather you out of all countries, and will bring you into 
your own land. 

25 Then will I fprinkle clean water upon you, and 
ye fhall be clean : from all your filthinefs, and from all 
your idols will I cleanfe you. 

26 A c new heart _ alfo will I give you , and a new c i^ em - 
fpirit will I put within you ; and I will take away the chil'u >$;

30 And I will multiply the fruit of the tree, and the

31 Then ihall ye remember your own evil ways, 
and your doings that were not good, and ihall loathe 
yourfelves in your own fight, for your iniquities, and 
for your abominations. 

32 Not for your fakes do I this, faith the Lord God, 
be it known unto you : be aihamed and confounded 
for your own ways, O houfe of Ifrael. 

33 Thus faith the Lord God, In the day that I ihall 
have cleanfed you from all your iniquities, I will alfo 
caufe you to dwell in the cities, and the waftes mail be

34 And the defolate land ill all be tilled, whereas it

37 Thus faith the Lord Gop, I -will yet for this be 
inquired of by the houfe of Ifrael to do it for them ; I 
will increafe them with men like a flock.

1 By the resurrection of dry bones the revival of the lost 
hope of Israel is prefigured. 15 By the uniting of 
two sticks is shewed the incorporation of Israel with 
Judah :- £ 1 their blessings in union under Christ their 
king.- 

THE hand of the Lord was upon me, and carried 
me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and fet me down 
in the midft of the vailey which was full of bones, 

2 And eaufed me to pafs by them round about : 
and, behold, there were very many in the open || val- 
ley ; and, lo, they were very dry. 

3 And he laid unto me. Son of man, can thefe bones 
live ? And I anfwered, O Lord God, thou knowell. 

4 Again he faid unto me, Prophefy upon thefe 
bones, and fay unto them, O ye dry bones, hear the 
word of the Lord. 

5 Thus faith tneLord God unto thefe bones,Behcld, 
I will caufe breath to enter into you, and ye ihall live :

7 So I prophefied as I was commanded : and, as I 
prophefied, there was anoife, and, behold, a making, 
and the bones came together, bone to hi3 bor.^.

but there was no breath in them.- 

9 Then faid he unto me, Prophefy unto the (| wind, 11 
prophefy, fon of man, and fay to* the wind, Thus faith 
the Lord God, Come from the four winds, O breath, 
and breathe upon thefe flam, that they may live. 

10 So I prophefied as he commanded me, and the 
breath came into them, and they lived, and flood up 
upon their feet, an exceeding great army. 

11 Then he faid unto me, Son of man, thefe bones 
are the whole houfe of Ifrael : behold, they fay, Our 
bones are dried, and our hope is loft ; we are cut oft' 
for our parts. 

^ 12 Therefore, prophefy, and fay unto them, Thus 
faith the Lord God, Behold, O my people, I will open 
your graves, and caufe you to come up out of your 
graves, and bring you into the land of Ifrael. 

13 And ye fhall know that I am the Lord; when I 
have opened your graves, O my people, and brought 
you up out of your graves, 

14 And ihall put my fpirit in you, and ye ihall live ;

it, faith the Lord. 

15 H The word of the Lord came again unto me, 
faying, 

16 Moreover, thou fon of man, take thee one ftick,

Ifrael his companions: then take another ftick, and 
write upon it, For Jofeph, the ftick of Ephraim s and 
for all the houfe of Ifrael his companions : 

17 And join them one to another into one ftick ; and ! 
they ihall become one in thine hand. 

18 And when the children of thy people fhall fpeak 
unto thee, faying, Wilt thou not ihew us what thou 
meanest by thefe ? 

19 Say unto them, Thus faith the Lord God, Be- 
hold, I will take the ftick of Jofeph, which is in the 
hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Ifrael his fellows, 
and will put them with him, «><?/z with the ftick of Ju-

20 And the flicks whereon' thou writeft Avail 'be in

21 f[ And fay unto them. Thus faith the Lord God, 
Behold, I will take the children of Ifrael from among 
the heathen, whither they be gone, and will gather 
them on every fide, and bring them into their own land. 

22- And I will make them one nation in the land up- 
on the mountains of Ifrael, and a one King ihall be king 
to them all : and they fhall be no more two nations, 
neither fhall they be divided into two kingdoms any 
more at all ; 

23 Neither fhall they defile themfelvcs any mere

18 Ye fhall eat the flefh of the mighty, and drink 
the blood of the princes of the earth, of rams, of 
lambs, and oft goats, of bullocks, all of them fatlings 
of Bafhan. 

19 And ye fhall eat fat till ye be full, and drink 
blood till ye be drunken, of my facrifice which I have 
facrrficed for you. 

20 Thus ye fhall be filled at my table with horfes 
and chariots, with mighty men, and with all men of 
war. faith the Lord Gon. 

21 If And I will fet my glory among the heathen, 
and all the heathen fhall fee my judgment that I have 
executed, and my hand that I have laid upon them. 

22 So the houfe of Ifrael fhall know that I am the 
Lord their God from that day and forward. 

23 And the heathen fhall know that the houfe of 
Ifrael went into captivity for their iniquity : becaufe 
they trefpaffed againft me, therefore hid I my face 
from them, and gave them into the hand of their 
enemies ; fo fell they all by the fword. 

24 According to their uncleannefs, and according 
to their tranfgrefiions, have I done unto them, and hid 
my face from them. 

25 If Therefore, thus faith the Lord God, Nov will 
I bring again the captivity of Jacob, and have mercy 
upon the whole houfe of Ifrael, and will be jealous 
for my holy name ;

26 After that they have borne their fhame, and all

N the five and twentieth year of our captivity, in m , 
the beginning of the year, in the tenth day of the 
month, in the fourteenth year after that the city was 
fmitten, in the felfsame day the hand of the Lord was 
upon me, and brought me thither. 

2 In the vifions of God brought he me into the land 

of Ifrael, and fet me upon a very high mountain || by ior,«#a« 
which, was as the frame of a city on the fouth. 

3 And he brought me thither, and, behold, there 
was a man, whofe appearance was like the appearance 
of brafs, with a line of flax in his hand, and a meafur- 
ing reed ; and he flood in the gate. 

4 And the man faid unto me, Son of man, behold 
with thine eyes, and hear with thine ears, and fet thine 
heart upon all that I fhall fhew thee ; for to the intent 
(hat I might fhew them unto thee art thou brought 
hither : declare all that thou feefl to the houfe of Ifrael. 

5 And, behold, a wall on the outfide of the houfe 
round about, and in the man's hand a meafu ring reed 
of fix cubits long by the cubit, and an handbreadth : 
fo he meafured the breadth of the building one reed, 
and the height one reed. 

6 If Then came he unto the gate f which looketh Hfcb.iu/wse 
toward the eafl, and went up the flairs thereof, and s ™%lX>ar% 
meafured the threfhoid of the gate, which was one theiait - 
reed broad, and the other threfhoid of the gate, which 

was one reed broad. 

7 And every little cliamber was one reed long and 
one reed broad ; and between the little chambers were 
five cubits ; and the threfhoid of the gate, by the porch 
of the gate within, was one reed. 

8 He meafured alfo the porch of the gate within, 
one reed. 

9 Then meafured he the porch of the gate, eight 
cubits ; and the pofts thereof, two cubits ; and the 
porch of the gate %vas inward. 

10 And the little chambers of the gate eaftward were 
three on this fide, and three on that fide ; they three 
were of one meafu re : and the pofts had one meafure 
>n this fide and on that lide.

13 He meafured then the gate irom the roof of one 
little chamber to the roof of another : the breadth was 
.five and twenty cubits, door againft door. 

14 He made alio polls of threefcore cubits, even 
unto the poll of the court round about the gate: 

15 And from the face of the gate of the entrance, 
unto the face .of the porch of the inner gate, were fifty 
cubits. 

16 And there were t narrow windows to the little 
chambers, and to their, pofts within the gate round 
about, and likewi-fe to the ]| arches ; and windows 
were round about || inward : and upon each poll were 

l ° r '* palm trees. 

17 Then brought he me into the outward court, 
.and, lo, there were chambers, and a pavement made 
for the court round about : thirty chambers were upon 
the pavement. 

18 And the pavement by the fide of the gates, over 
againft the length of the gates, was the lower pave- 
ment. 

19 Then he meafured the breadth from the fore- 
front of the lower gate unto the forefront of the inner 
court || without, an hundred cubits eaftward and north- 
ward. 

20 H And the gate of the outward court f that looked 
toward the north, he meafured the length thereof, and 
the breadth thereof. 

21 And the little chambers thereof were three on 
this fide, and three on that fide ; and the pofts thereof, 
and the || arches thereof, were after the meafure of the 
firft gate : the length thereof was fifty cubits, and the 
breadth five and twenty cubits. 

22 And their windows, and their arches, and their 
palm trees, were after the meafure of the gate that 
looketh toward the eaft : and they went up unto it by 
feven fteps ; and the arches thereof were before them. 

23 And the gate of the inner court was over againft 
the gate toward the north, and toward the eaft : and 
he meafured from gate to gate an hundred cubits. 

24 IT After mat he brought me toward the fouth, 
and, behold, a gate toward the fouth : and he meafur- 
ed the pofts thereof, and the arches thereof, according 
to thefe meatiires. 

25 And there were windows in it, and in the arches 
thereof round about, like thofe windows : the length 
was fifty cubits, and the breadth five and twenty 
cubits. 

26 And there were feven fteps to go up to it, and 
the arches thereof were before them : and it had palm 
trees, one on this fide, and another on that fide, upon 
jthe pofts thereof. 

27 H And there was a gate in the inner court toward 
the fouth : and he meafured from gate to gate toward 
£he fouth an hundred cubits. 

28 And he brought me to the inner court by the 
fouth gate : and he meafured the fouth gate according 
to thefe meafures ; 

29 And the little chambers thereof, and the pofts 
thereof, and the arches thereof, according to thefe 
meafures : and there were windows in it, and in the 
arches thereof roundabout : it was fifty cubits long, 
and five and twenty cubits broad. 

30 And the arches round about were five and twen- 
twdih. ty cubits long, and five cubits t broad ; 



31 And the arches thereof were toward the outer 
court: and palm trees were upon the pofts thereof: 
and the going up to it had eight fteps. 

32 1[ And he brought me into the inner court to- 
ward the eaft ; and he meafured the gate according to 
thefe meafures. 

33 And the little chambers thereof, and the pofts 
thereof, and the arches thereof, were according to thefe 
meafures : and there were windows therein, and in 
the arches thereof round about : it was fifty cubits 
long, and five and twenty cubits broad. 

34 And the arches thereof were toward the outward 
court ; and palm trees were upon the pofts thereof on 
this fide and on that fide ; and the going up to it had 
eight fteps. 

35 II And he brought me to the north gate, and 
meafured /^according to thefe meafures : 

36 The little chambers thereof, the pofts thereof, 
and the arches thereof, and the windows to it round 
about: the length was fifty cubits, and the breadth 
five and twenty cubits. 

37 And the pofts thereof ivere toward the outer 
court ; and palm trees were upon the pofts thereof on 
this fide and on that fide : and the going up to it had 
eight fteps. 

38 And the chambers, and the entries thereof, were 
by the pofts of the gates, where they wafhed the burnt 
offering. 

39 H And in the porch of the gate were two tables 
on this fide, and two tables on that fide, to flay thereon 
the burnt offering, and the fin offering, and the tref- 
pafs offering. 

40 And at the fide without, || as one goeth up to the 
entry of the north gate, were two tables ; and on the 
other fide, which was at the porch of the gate, were 
two tables. 

41 Four tables were on this fide, and four tables on 
that fide, by the fide of the gate ; eight tables, where- 
upon they flew their sacrifice. 

42 Andthe four tables were of hewn ftone for the 
burnt offering, of a cubit and an half long, and a cubit 
and an half broad, and one cubit high : whereupon 
alfo they laid the inftruments wherewith they flew the 
burnt offering and the facrifice. 

43 And ivithin were || hooks, an hand broad, fatten- 
ed round about : and upon the tables was the flefh of mm ftM«S 
the offering. 

44 If And without the inner gate were the chambers 
of the fingers in the inner court, which was at the fide 
of the north gate; and their profpeel was toward the 
fouth : one at the fide of the eaft gate, having the prof- 
peel: toward the north, 

45 And he faid unto me, This chamber, whofe 
profpeel is toward the fouth, is for the priefts, the 
keepers of the || charge of the houfe. 

46 And the chamber whofe profpecl is toward the 
north is for the priefts, the keepers of the charge of the 
altar : thefe are the fons of Zadok among the fons of 
Levi, which come near to the Lord to minifter unto 
him. 

47 So he meafured the court, an hundred cubits 
long, and an hundred cubits broad, four fquare, and 
the altar that was before the houfe. 

48 II And he brought me to the porch of the houfe, 
and meafured each poft of the porch, five cubits on

49 The length of the porch was twenty cubits, and 
the breadth eleven cubits : and he brought me by the 
fteps whereby they went up to it ; and there were pil- 
lars by the polls, one on this fide, and another on 
that fide. 

CHAP. XLI. 
The measures, parts, chambers, and ornaments of the

FTERWARD he brought me to the temple, and 
meafured the polls, fix cubits broad on the one 
lide, and fix cubits broad on the other lide, which was 
the breadth of the tabernacle. 

2 And the breadth of the || door was ten cubits ; 
and the fides of the door were five^ cubits on the one 
fide, and five cubits on the other fide : and he meaf- 
ured the length thereof forty cubits, and the breadth 
twenty cubits. 

3 Then went he inward, and meafured t the poll of 
the door two cubits ; and the door fix cubits ; and the 
breadth of the door feven cubits. 

4 So he meafured the length thereof twenty cubits ; 
and the breadth twenty cubits before the temple : and 
he find unto me, This is the moll holy place. 

5 After he meafured the wall of the houfe fix cu- 
bits ; and the breadth of every fide chamber four cu- 
bits round about the houfe on every fide. 

6 And the fide chambers were three, f one over 
c !id"'c b hami''r. another, and [| thirty in order ; and they entered into 
Indlhirty tne wa ^ which was or " me houfe for the fide chambers 
iim^oy, ftoi. round about, that they might f have hold, but they 
behiuun. had not hold in the wall of the houfe. 

tt^tmaie 7 And f there was an enlarging, and a winding 
tTnt^mld! about ftill upward to the lide chambers ; for the 
winding about of the houfe went ftill upward round 
about the houfe : therefore the breadth of the houfe 
was still upward, and lb increafed from the loweft 
chamber to the highell by the midlt. 

8 I faw alfo the height of the houfe round about : 
the foundations of the lide chambers were a full reed 
of fix great cubits. 

9 The thieknefs of the wall, which was for the fide 
chamber without, was five cubits ; and that which 
was left was the place of the fide chambers that were 
within. 

10 And between the chambers was the widenefs 
of twenty cubits round about the houfe on every lide. 

1 1 And the doors of the lide chambers .were toward 
the place that was left, one door toward the north, and 
another door toward the fouth : and the breadth of 
the place that was left was five cubits round about. 

12 Now the building that was before the feparate 
place, at the end toward the weft, was feventy cubits 
broad ; and the wall of the building %vas five cubits 
thick round about, and the length thereof ninety 
cubits. 

13 So he meafured the houfe, an hundred cubits 
long .; and the feparate place, and the building, with 
the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long ; 

14 Alio die breadth of the face of the houfe, and 
of the leparate place toward the eaft, an hundred 
cubits. 

I or, several 15 ^ nc * k e meafured the length of the building

16 The door pofts, and the narrow windows, and 
the galleries round about on their three ltories, over 
againft the door, | ceiled with wood round about, 
I! and from the ground up to the windows, and the win- 
dows were covered ; 

17 To that above the door, even unto the inner 
houfe, and without, and by all the wall round about, 
within and without, by t meafure. 

18 And it was made with cherubims and palm 
trees, fo that a palm tree ivas between a cherub and 
a cherub ; and evert/ cherub had two faces : 

19 So that the face of a man was toward the palm 
tree on the one fide, and the face of a young lion to- 
ward the palm tree on the other fide ; it %vas made 
through all the houfe round about. 

20 From the ground unto above the door were 
cherubims and §ahn trees made, and on the wall of the 
temple. 

21 The t polls of the temple were fquared, and the 
face of the ian6luary ; the appearance of the one as the 
appearance of the other. 

22 The altar of wood was three cubits high, and 
the length thereof two cubits; and the corners there- 
of, and the length thereof, and the walls thereof, were 
of wood : and he faid unto me, This is the table that 
is before the Lord. 

23 And the temple and the fancluary had two doors. 

24 And the doors had too leaves apiece, two turn- 
ing leaves ; two leaves for the one door, and two 
leaves for the other door. 

25 And there were made on them, on the doors of 
the temple, cherubims and palm trees, like as were 
made upon the walls ; and _ there ivere thick planks 
upon the face of the porch without. 

26 And there were narrow windows and palm trees 
on the one fide and on the other fide on the fides of 
the porch, and upon the fide chambers of the houfe, 
and thick planks.

THEN he brought me forth into the outer court, 
the way toward the north j and he brought me 
into the chamber that ivas over againlt the leparate 
place, and which was before the building toward the 
north. 

2 Before the length of an hundred cubits was the 
north door, and the breadth ivas fifty cubits. 

3 Over againlt the twenty cubits which were for 
the inner court, and over againft the pavement which 
ivas for the outer court, was gallery againft gallery in 
three stories. 

4 And before the chambers was a walk often di- 
bits breadth inward, a way of one cubit ; and their 
doors toward the north. 

5 Now the upper chambers were fhortcr : for the 
galleries || were higher than ihefe, || than the lower, 
and than the middlemoll of the building. 

6 For they were in three stories, but had not pillars 
as the pillars of the courts : therefore the building was 
ftraitened more than the loweft, and the middlemoll 
from the ground.

of the court toward the eaft, over againlt the feparate 

place, and over againft the building. 

11 And the way before them wds like the appear- 
ance of the chambers which were toward the north, 
as long as they, and as broad as they ; and all their 
goings out were both according to their fafhions, and 
according to their doors. 

12 And according to the doors of the chambers 
that were toward the fouth was & door in the head of 
the way, even the way directly before the wall toward 
the eaft, as one enterethinto them. ^ 

13 If Then faid he unto me, The north chambers 
and the fouth chambers, which are before the fepa- 
rate place, they be holy chambers, where the priefts 
that approach unto the Lord fhall eat the moil holy 
things : there lliall they lay the moft holy things, and 
the meat offering, and the fin offering, and the trefpafs 
offering ; for the place is holy. 

14 When the priefts enter therein, then fhall they 
not go out of the holy place into the outer court, but 
there they fhall lay their garments wherein they miri- 
ifter, for they are' holy ; and lliall put on other gar- 
ments, and lhall approach to those things which are 
for the people. 

15 II Now, when he had made an end of meafuring 
the inner houfe, lie brought me forth toward the gate 
whofe profpecl: is toward the eaft, and meafured it 
round about. 

16 He meafured the eaft t fide with the meafuring 
reed, five hundred reeds, with the meafuring reed 
round about. 

17 He meafured the north fide five hundred reeds, 
with the meafuring reed round about. 

18 He meafured the fouth fide five hundred reeds, 
with the meafuring reed. 

19 He turned about to the weft fide, and meafured 
five hundred reeds, with the meafuring reed. 

20 He meafured it by the four fides : it had a wall 
round about, five hundred reeds long, and five hun- 
dred broad, to make afeparation between thefanftu- 
ary and the profane place.

4 And the glory of the Lord came into the houfe 
by the way of the gate whofe profpecl z'stoward the eaft. 

5 So the fpirit took me up, and brought me into 
the inner court ; and, behold., the glory of the Lord 
filled the houfe. 

6 And I heard him fpeaking unto me out of the 
houfe ; and the man flood by me. 

7 II And he faid unto me, Son of man, the place of my 
throne, and the place of the foles of my feet, where I 
will dwell in the midft of the children of Ifrael for ever, 
and my holy name fhall the houfe of Ifrael no more de- 
file, neither they, nor their kings, by their whoredom, 
nor by the carcaffes of their kings in their high places ; 

8 In their fetting of their threfhold by my threfholds, 
and their poll by my polls, || and the wall between me 
and them, they have even defiled my holy name by but7- 
their abominations that they have committed : where- SSJ 
fore I have confumed them in mine anger. 

9 Now let them put away their whoredom, and the 
carcaffes of their kings, far from me, and I will dwell 
in the midft of them forever. 

10 II Thou, fon of man, fhew the houfe to the houfe 
of Ifrael, that they may be aihamed of their iniquities : 
and let them meafure the || pattern. 

1 1 And if they be aihamed of all that they have 
done, fhew them the form of the houfe, and the fafhion 
thereof, and the goings out thereof, and the com- 
ings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all the 
ordinances thereof, and all the forms thereof, and all 
the laws thereof: and write it in their fight, that they 
may keep the whole form thereof, and all the ordinan- 
ces thereof, and do them. 

12 This is, the law of the houfe ; Upon the top of 
the mountain, the whole limit thereof round about 
shall be moft holy, Behold, this is the law of the houfe. 

13 IF And thefe are the meafures of the altar after 
the cubits : The cubit is a cubit and an handbreadth ; 

even the f bottom shall be a cubit, and the breadth ineb.toso^ 
a cubit, and the border thereof by the f edge thereof t Hei>. /,> 
round about shall be a fpan ; and this shall be the 
higher place of the altar. 

14 And from the bottom upon the ground, even to 
the lower fettle, shall be two cubits, and the breadth 
one cubit ; and from the leffer fettle even to the greater 
fettle shall be four cubits, and the breadth one cubiL 

15 So f the altar shall be four cubits ; and from f the J.^ 
altar and upward shall be four horns. isfiL'mwJj 

16 And the altar shall fo twelve cubits long, twelve t a Heb /G< 
broad, fquare in the four fquares thereof. 

17 And the fettle shall be fourteen cubits long and 
fourteen broad in the four fquares thereof; and the 
border about it shall be half a cubit ; and the bottom 
thereof shall be a cubit about : and his itairs fhall look 
toward the eaft. 

18 IF And he faid unto me, Son of man, thus faith 
the Lord God, Thefe are the ordinances of the altar 
in the day when they fhall make it, to offer burnt offer- 
ings thereon, and to fprinkle blood thereon. 

19 And thou fhalt give to the priefts the Levites 
that be of the feed ofZadok, which approach unto 
me, to minifter unto me, faith the Lord God, a young 
bullock for a fin offering. 

20 And thou fhalt take of the blood thereof, and

7 And he fhall prepare a meat offering, an ephah 
for a bulloek, and an ephah for a ram ; and for the 
lambs according as his hand ihall attain unto, and an 
hin of oil to an ephah. 

8 And when the prince fhall enter, he fhall go in 
by the way of the porch of that gate, and he fhall go 
forth by the way thereof. 

9 If But when the people of the land fhall come 
before the Lord inthefolemn feafts, he that enter- 
eth in by the way of the north gate to worfhip, ihall 
go out by the way of the fouth gate ; and he that en- 
terethbythe way of the fouth gate, fhall go forth by 
the way of the north gate : he ihall not return by the 
way of the gate whereby he came in, but fhall go

11 And in the feafts, and in the folemnities, the 
meat offering fhall be an ephah to a bullock, and an 
ephah to a ram, and to the lambs as he is able to give, 
and an hin of oil to an ephah. 

12 Now when the prince fhall prepare a voluntary 
burnt offering, or peace offerings voluntarily unto the 
Lord, one ihall then open him the gate that looketh 
toward the eaft, and he fhall prepare his burnt offer-

one fhall ihut the gate. 

13 Thou fhalt daily prepare a burnt offering unto

every morning, the fixth part of an ephah, and the 
third part of an hin of oil, to temper with the fine 
flour ; a meat offering continually, by a perpetual or- 
dinance unto the Lord. 

15 Thus fhall they prepare the lamb, and the meat 
offering, and the oil, every morning, for a continual 
burnt offering. 

16 H Thus faith the Lord God, If the prince give a 
gift unto any of his fons, the inheritance thereof ihall 
be his fons' ; it shall be their poffeffion by inheritance. 

_ 17 But if he give a gift of his inheritance to one of 
his fervants, then it ihall be his to the year of liberty ; 
after it ihall return to the prince : but his inheritance 
fhall be his fons' for them. 

18 Moreover, the prince ihall not take of the peo- 
pled inheritance by oppreffion, to thruft them out of

Jehoiakim' s captivity. 3 Ashpfnaz taketh Daniel, 
Hananiah, Mishaet, and Azariah, to instruct them, 
&c. 8 They refusing the king's portion, do prosper 
with pulse and water ; 17 their proficiency in wis- 
dom. 

N the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of 
Judah, a came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon 
imto Jer.ufalem, and befieged it. 

2 And the Lor d gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into 
his hand, with part of the vefiels of the houfe of God, 
which he carried into the land of Shiriar, to the houfe 
pf his god ; and he brought the vefiels into the treafure 
h'oufe of his god. 

3 If And the king fpake unto Afhpenaz the matter of 
his emuichs, that he lhould bring * certain of the chil- 
dren oflfrael, and of the king's feed, and of the princes; 

4 Children in whom was no blemifh, but well fa- 
voured, and fkilful in all wifdom, and cunning in 
knowledge, and underftanding fcience, and fuch as 
had ability in them to ftand in the king's palace, and 
whom they might teach the learning and the tongue 
of the Chaldeans. _ .''•.' 

5 And the king appointed them a daily provifion of 
the king's meat, and of t the wine which he drank ; 
fo nouriihing them three years, that at the end thereof 
they might ftand before the king. 

6 Now among thefe were of the children of Judah, 
Daniel, Hananiah, Miihael, and Azariah ; 

7 Unto whom the prinjte of the eunuchs gave names : 
for he gave unto Daniel the name of Behdhazzzr ; and 
to Hananiah, of Shadrach ; and to Miihael, of Me- 
fhach ; and to Azariah, of Abednego. 

8 If But Daniel purpofed in his heart that he would 
not defile himfelf with the portion of the king's meat, 

•nor with the wine which he drank : therefore he re- 
Viefted of the prince of the eunuchs that he might not 
defile himfelf. 

9 Now God had brought Daniel into favour and 
tc ndcr love with the prince of the eunuchs. 

10 And the prince of the eunuchs faid unto Daniel, 
I fear my lord the king, who hath appointed your 
meat and your drink : for why fhould he fee your 

.faces f worfe liking than the children which are of 
your || fort ? then lhall ye make me endanger my head 
to the king.

11 Then faid Daniel to || Melzar, whom the prince 
of the eunuchs had fet over Daniel, Hananiah, Miihael, 
and Azariah, 

12 Prove thy fervants, I befeech thee, ten days ; and 
let them give us t pulfe \ to eat, and water to drink. 

13 Then let our countenances be loOkecl upon be- 
fore thee, and the countenance of the children that eat ™*;' ! "> eafi 
of the portion of the king's meat : anel as thou feeft, 
deal with thy fervants. 

14 So he confented to them in this matter, and 
prqved them ten days. 

15 And at the end of ten days their ^mtenances 
appeared fairer and fatter in.fielh than alWie children 
which did eat the portion of the king's meat. 

16 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their 
meat, and the wine that they lhould drink, and gave 
them pulfe. 

17 II As for thefe four children, God gave them 
knowledge and fkill in all learning and wifdom : and 
II Daniel had underftanding in all villous and dreams. « 

18 Now, at the end of the days that the king had 
faid he lhould bring them in, then the prince of the 
eunuchs brought them in before Nebuchadnezzar. 

19 And the king communed with them ; and among 
them all was found none like Daniel, Hananiah, Mi- 
ihael, and Azariah : therefore flood they before the 
king. 

20 And in all matters of t wifdom and underftand- Jf e ^.™ to 
ing, that the king inquired of them, he found them ten din \ 
.times better than ali the magicians- «7^ aftrologers that tv -" 
'were in all his realm. 

21 b And Daniel continued even unto the-fuft year ^ch^c-v. 
oi King Cyrus. 

He lived to see thai- glorious time of the return of his people from the Babylonian captivitv, 
though he did not die then : so till is used, Psalm 1 10 I, & 1 1 J 8. 

C H A P. II. 

1 Nebuchadnezzar forgetting his dream, requireth it 
of the Chaldeans .-10 they acknowledging their in- 
ability, are adjudged to die. 14 Daniel obtaineth 
some respite, and the dream is revealed to him : 24 
he is brought to the king. 3 1 The dream and the 
interpretation, Esfc. 

AND in the fecond year of the reign of Nebu- 
chadnezzar, Nebuchadnezzar dreamed dreams, 
wherewith his fpirit was troubled, and his deep brake 
from him.

and the aftrologers, and the forcerers, and the Chal- 
deans, for to lhew the king his dreams. So they came 
and flood before the king. 

3 And the king faid unto them, I have dreamed a 
dream, and my fpirit was troubled to know the dream. 

4 Then fpake the Chaldeans to the king in Syriaek, 
a O king, live for ever : tell thy fervants the dream, and 
we will lhew the interpretation. 

5 The king anfwered, and faid to the Chaldeans, 
The thing is gone from me : if ye will-not make known 
unto me the dream, with the interpretation thereof ye 

t Sd^foall be H cut in pieces, and your houfes lliall be made 
a dunghill : 

6 But if ye fhewthe dream, and the interpretation 
thereof, ye ihall receive of me gifts, and || rewards, and 
great honour : therefore fhew me the dream, and the 
interpretation thereof. 

# 7 They anlwered again, and faid, Let the king tell 
his fervants the dream, and we will fhew the interpre- 
tation of it. 

8 The king anfwered and faid, I know of.certainty 
• that ye would t gain the time, becaufe ye fee the thing 
is gone from me. 

9But if ye will not make known unto me the dream, 
there is but one decree for you ; for ye have prepared 
lying and corrupt words to fpeak before me, till the 
time be changed : therefore tell me the dream, and I 
ihall know that ye can fhew me the interpretation 
thereof. 

10^ II The Chaldeans anfwered before the king, and 
faid, There is not a man upon the earth that can lhew 
the king's rn^ter : therefore there is no king, lord, nor 
ruler, that alRd fuch things at any magician, or aftrol- 
oger, or Chaldean. 

11 And it is a rare thing that the king requireth ; 
and there is none other that can fhew it before the 
king, except the gods, whofe dwelling is not with 
fieffr. 

12 For this caufe the king was angry and very furi- 
ous, and commanded to deftroy all the wife men of 
Babylon. 

13 And the decree went forth that the wife men 
fhotild be flam ; and they fought Daniel and his fel- 
lows to be flain. 

14 <$ Then Daniel t anfwered with coufe! and wif- 
i! or, Me/ dom to Arioch the j| | captain of the king's guard, which 
ta?ai4 C « e / was S' one -f° rtn t0 flay th e w ^ e men of Babylon : 
O thn'r"or"~ -^ ^ e anfwered and faid to Arioch the king^s cap- 
siaughurmen. tain, Why is the decree so hafty from the king ? Then 

Arioch made'the thing known to Daniel. 

16 Then Daniel went in, and deiired of the king 
that he wc^jld give him time, and that he would fhew 
the king the interpretation. 

17 Then -Daniel went to his houfe, and made the 
thing known to Hananiah, Mifhael, and Azariah, his 
companions ; 

&firfG«?' m ^ That they would defire mercies f of the God of 
'loZhHthuy heaven concerning this fecret, || that Daniel and his 
ftr^iXit fellows fhould not periih with the reft of the wife men 
&c - of Babylon, 

19 Then was the fecret revealed unto Daniel in a 
night vifion. Then Daniel bleffed the God of heaven, 

20 Daniel anlwered and faid, c Bleffed be the name of 
God for ever and ever ; for wifdom and might are his : 

21 And he changeth the times and the feafons : he 
removeth kings, and fetteth up lungs : he giveth vvif-

22 He revealeth the deep and fecret tilings ; he

23 I thank thee, and praife thee, O thou God of my 
fathers, who haft given me wifdom and might, and 
haft made known unto me now what we deiired of 
thee : for thou haft now made known unto us the 
king's matter. 

24 II Therefore Daniel went in. unto ATioch, whom 
the king had ordained to deftroy the wife men of Ba- 
bylon ; he went and faid thus unto him, Deftroy not 
the wife men of Babylon : bring me in before the king, 
and I will lhew unto the king the interpretation. 

25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before the king, 
in hafte, and laid thus untohim, f I have found a man 
of the f captives of Judah, that will make known unto 
the king the interpretation. 

A . ,¥,, i • o i r r- • i -^ children of

name %vas Belteihazzar, Art thou able to make known CJ T " 
unto me the dream*which I have feen, and the inter- 
pretation thereof i 

27 Daniel anfwered in the prefence of the king, and 
faid, The fecret which the king hath demanded, can- 
not the wife men, the aftrologers, the magicians, the 
foothfayers, fhew unto the king . ? 

28 But there is a God in heaven that revealeth fe- 
crets, and j maketh known to the king Nebuchadnez- 
zar what fliall be in the latter days. Thy dream, and 
the virions of thy head upon thy bed, are thefe. 

29 (As for thee, Oking, thy thoughts f came into thy +chalil - 
mind upon thy bed what fhould come to pafs hereaf- 
ter ; and he that revealeth fecrets maketh known to 
thee what fliall come to pafs. 

30 But as for me, this fecret is not revealed to me 
for any wifdom that I have more than any living, but 
for their fakes that ihall make known the interpretation 
to the king, and that thou mighteft know the thoughts 
of thy heart.) 

31 H Thou, Oking, ffaweft, and behold, a great 
image. This great image, whofe brightnefs was ex- 
cellent, flood before thee, and the form thereof xvas 
terrible. 

32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breaft and 
his arms oflilver,_his belly and his || thighs of brafs, 

33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron, and part of 
clay. 

34 Thou faweft till that a ftone was cut out |j with- 
out hands, which fmote the image upon his feet that 
were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces. 

35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brafs, the filver, 
and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became 
like the chaff of the fummer threfhing floors ; and the 
wind carried them away, that no place was found 
for them : and the ftone that fmote the image became 
a great mountain, and filled the whole earth. 

36 This is the dream ; and we will tell the interpre- 
tation thereof before the king. 

37 Thou, O king, art a king of kings : for the God 
of heaven hath given thee a kingdom, power, and 
ftrength, and glory. 

38 And wherefoever the children of men dwell, the 
beafts of the field and the fowls of the heaven hath he 
given into thine hand, and hath made thee ruler over 
them all. Thou art this head of gold,

39 And after thee ihall arife another kingdom in- 
ferior to thee, and another third kingdom of brafs, 
which lhall bear rule over all the earth. 

40 And the fourth kingdomyfhall be ftrong as iron : 
forafmuch as iron breaketh in pieces andfubdueth 
all things : and as iron that breaketh allthefe, lhall it 
break in pieces, and bruife-. 

41 And whereas thou faweft the feet and toes part 
ofpotteris clay, and part of iron, the kingdom ihali be 
divided ; but there ihall be in it of the ftrength of the 
iron, forafmuch as thou faweft the iron mixed with 
miry slay. 

42 And as the toes of the feet w<?r<f part of iron and 
part of clay, so the kingdom' lhall be partly ftrong and 
partly || broken. 

43 And whereas thou faweft iron mixed with miry 
clay, they ihall mingle themfelves with the feed of 
men ; but they fhall net cleave f one to another, even 
as iron is not mixed with clay. 

44 And in t the days ofthefe kings fllall the God 
of heaven fet up a kingdom, d which fhall never be 
deftroyed : and the t kingdom fhall not be left to other 
people, but it fhall break in pieces and confume all 
thefe kingdoms, and it lhall ftand for ever. 

45 Forafmuch as thou faweft that the ftone was cut 
"out of the mountain |j without hands, and that it brake 

in pieces the iron, the brafs, the clay, the filver, and 
the gold ; the great God hath made known to the king 
what fhall come to pafs f hereafter ; and the dream is 
certain, and the interpretation thereof fare. 

46 If Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his 
face, and worshipped Daniel, and commanded that they 
fhould offer an oblation and fweet odours unto him. 

47 The king anfwered unto Daniel, and faid, Of a 
truth it is that your God is a God of gods, and a Lord 
of kings, and areveaicr of fecrets, feeing thou couldeft 
reveal thisfecret. 

48 Then the king made Daniel a great man, and 
gave him many great gifts, and made him ruler over 
the whole province of Babylon, and c chief of the gov- 
ernors overall the wife men of Babylon. 

49 Then Daniel requeftcd of the king, and he fet 
Shadrach, Mefhach, and Abednego, over the affairs 
of the province of Babylon: but Daniel sat in the 
gate of the king. 

C HAP. III. 

1 Nebuchadnezzar sitting up a golden image, com- 
mandeth all to worship it. 8 Shadrach. Mcshach, 
rind Abednego, arc accused of disobeying the com- 
mand. 15 The king thrcateneth them ; their resolute 
answer : 19 they arc cast into a fiery furnace : 24 

• God delhereth them, £sY. 

NEBUCHADNEZZAR the king made an image 
of gold, whole height w#.y threefcore cubits, and 
the breadth thereof fix cubits : he fet it up in the plain 
WDura, in the province of Babylon. 

2 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king fent to gather 
together the princes, the governors, and the captains, 
the judges, the treafurers, the counfellors, the fheriffs, 
and all the rulers of the provinces, to come to the 
dedication of the image which Nebuchadnezzar the 
king had fet up. 

3 Tfccn the princes, the governors and captains, the 
judges, the treafurers, the counfellors, the fheriffs, 
and all the rulers of the provinces, were gathered to- 
gether unto the dedication of the image that Nebu- 

4B 




chadnezzar the king had fet up ; and they flood be- 
fore the image that Nebuchadnezzar had fet up. 

4 Then an herald cried | aloud, To you f it is com- 
manded, O people, nations, and languages, 

5 That at what time ye hear the found of the cor- 
net, flute, harp, fackbut, pfaltery, || f dulcimer, and all f°j n<r 
kinds of mime, ye fall down and worfhip the golden t"crn"H. 
image that Nebuchadnezzar the king hath fet up : y^*-' 

6 And whofo falleth not down and worfhippeth, 
fhali the fame hour be caftinto the midil of a burning 
fiery furnace. 

7 Therefore, at that time, when all the people heard 
the found of the cornet, flute, harp, fackbut, pfaltery, 
and all kinds of mufic, all the people, the nations, 
and the languages, fell down and worfhipped the gold- 
en image that Nebuchadnezzar the king had fet up. 

8 H Wherefore at that time certain Chaldeans came 
near, and accufed the Jews. 

9 They fpake, and faid to the king Nebuchadnej^ 
zar, O king, live for ever. 

10 Thou, Oking, haft made a decree, that every 
man that ihall hear the found of the comet, flute, 
harp, fackbut, pfaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of 
mufic, fhall fall down and worfhip the golden image : 

11 And whofo falleth not down and worfhippeth, 
that he fhould be call into the midfl of a burning fiery 
furnace. 

12 There are certain Jews, whom thou haft fet over 
the affairs of the province of Babylon, Shadrach, Me- 
fhach, and Abednego : thefe men, O king, f have not tchaii 
regarded thee ; they ferve not thy gods, nor worfhip regViVp^n 
the golden image which thou haft fet u$. th "' 

13 "f[ Then Nebuchadnezzar, in £z'srage and fury, 
commanded to bring Shadrach, Mefhach, and Abed- 
nego. Then they brought thefe men before the king. 

14 Nebuchadnezzar fpake, and faid unto them, Is 

it (I true, O Shadrach, Mefhach, and Abednego, do \or, 
not ye ferve my gods, nor worfhip the golden image ttZ'i*' 
which I have fet up ? 2 " 3 - 

15 Now, if ye be ready, that at what time ye hear 
the found of the cornet, flute, harp, fackbut, pfaltery, 
and dulcimer, and all kinds of mufic, ye fall down 
and worfhip the image which I have made, well : but 
if ye worfhip not, ye fhall be caft the fame hour into 
the riiidft of a burning fiery furnace : and who is that 
god that fhall deliver you out of my hands ? 

16 Shadrach, Mefhach, and Abednego, anfwered, 
and faid to the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not 
careful to anfwer thee in this matter. 

17 If it be so, our God, whom we ferve, is able to 
deliver us from the burning fiery furnace ; and he will 
deliver us out of thine hand, O king. 

18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that 
we will not ferve thy gods, nor worfhip the golden 
image which thou haft fet wp. 

19 \\ Then was Nebuchadnezzar t full of fury, and tchaM. 
the form of his vifage was changed againft Shadrach, m 
Mefhach, and Abednego: t/xrefore he fpake, and 
commanded that they ihould heat the furnace one 
feven times more than it was wont to be heated. 

20 And he commanded the t moil mighty men that ta»H. 
were in his army to bind Shadrach, Mefhach, and ;;;;';'>/ 
Abednego, and to call them into the burning fiery 
furoace.

22 Therefore, becaufe the king's \ commandment 
was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the || flame 
of the fire flew thofe men that took up Shadrach, 
Mefliach, and Abednego. 

23 And thefe three men, Shadrach, Mefhach, and 
Abednego, fell down bound into the midft of the 
burning fiery furnace. 

24 II Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was aftonifhed, 
and rofe up in hafte, and fpake, and laid unto his 
li councilors, Did not we call three men bound into 
the fnidft ofthe fire? They anfwered, and faid unto 
the king, True, O king. 

25 He anfwered and faid, Lo, I fee four men loofe, 
walking in the midft of the fire, and f they have no 
hurt; and the form of the fourth is like ||the Son of God. 

26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the t mouth 
ofthe burning fiery furnace, and fpake, and faid, Sha- 
drach, Mefliach, and Abednego, ye fervants of the 
Bfcoft high God, come forth, and come hither. Then 
Shadrach, Melhach, and Abednego, came forth of 
the midft of the fire. 

27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and 
the king's counfellors, being gathered together, faw 
thefe men, upon whofe bodies the fire had no power, 
nor was an hair of their head,fmged, neither were their 
coats changed, nor.the fmeli of fire had paffed on them. 

28 Then Nebuchadnezzar fpake, and faid, Bleffed 
be the God of Shadrach, Mefhach, and Abednego, 
who hath fent his angel, and delivered his fervants 
that trufted in him, and have changed the king's 
word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not 
ferve nor worftiip any god except their own God. 

29 Therefore f I make a decree, That every people, 
nation and language, which fpeak t any thing amifs 
againft the God of Shadrach, Melhach, and Abed- 
nego, fhall be a f cut in pieces, and their houfes fhall 
be made a dunghill; becaufe there is no other god 
that can deliver after this fort. 

30 H Then the king f promoted Shadrach, Mefhach, 
and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.

4 II I Nebuchadnezzar was at reft in mine houfe, 
and flourifhing in my palace ; 

5 I law a dream which made me afraid, and the 
thoughts upon my bed, and the vifions of my head 
troubled me. 

6 Therefore made I a decree to bring in all the 
wife men of Babylon before me, that they might make 
known unto me the interpretation of the dream. 

7 Then came in the magicians, the aftrologers, the 
Chaldeans, and the foothfayers : and I told the dream 
before them ; but they did not make known unto me 
the interpretation thereof. 



Daniel interpreteth if. 



Before 
CHRIST 



8 H But at the Iaft Daniel came in before me, (whofe 
name was Beltefhazzar, according to the name of 
my god, and in whom is the fpirit ofthe holy Gods,) ' 
and before him I told the dream, saying, 

9 O Beltefhazzar, b mailer ofthe magicians, becaufe i>cha P . 
I know that the fpirit ofthe holy Gods is in thee, and 248 ' 
no fecret troubleth thee, tell me the villous of my 
dream that I have feen, and the interpretation thereof. 

10 Thus were the vifions of mine head in my bed : 

f I faw, and, behold, a tree in the midft ofthe" earth, tchaid. 
and the height thereof ivas great : i^auitim 

11 The tree. grew, and was ftrong, and the height 
thereof reached unto heaven, and the fight thereof to 
the end of all the earth : 

12 The leaves thereof were fair, and the fruit there- 
of much, and in it was meat for all : the beafts ofthe 
field had fhadow under it, and the fowls ofthe heaven 
dwelt in the boughsthereof, and all flelh was fed of it. 

13 I faw in the vifions of my head upon my bed, 
and, behold, a watcher and an holy One came down 
from heaven : 

14 He cried f aloud, and faid thus, Hew down the tchaid. 
tree, and cut off his branches, ihake offhis leaves, and ™ ! "' ms '"' 
fcatter his fruit ; let the beafts get away from under 

it, and the fowls from his brandies : 

15 Neverthelefs, leave the flump of his roots in the 
earth, even with a band of iron and brafs, in the ten- 
der grafs ofthe field ; and let it be wet with the cltw 
of heaven, and let his portion be with the beafts in the 
grafs of the earth : 

16 Let his heart be changed from man's, and let a 
beaft's heart be given unto him ; and let feven times 
pafs over him. 

17 This matter is by the decree of the watchers, 
and the demand by the word of the holy ones ; to the 
intent that the living may know that the moft High 
ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whom- 
foever he will, and fetteth up over it the bafeft of men. 

18 This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have feen. 
Now thou, O Beltefhazzar, declare the interpretation 
thereof; forafmuch as all the wife men of my king- 
dom are not able to make known unto me the inter- 
pretation : but thou art able ; for the fpirit of the 
holy Gods is in thee. 

19 TT Then Daniel (whofe name was Beltefhazzar) 
was aftonifhed for one hour, and his thoughts troub- 
led him. The king fpake and faid, Beltefhazzar, let 
not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble 
thee. Beltefhazzar anfwered and faid, My lord, the 
dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation 
thereof to thine enemies. 

20 The tree that thou faweft, which grew, and was 
ftrong, whofe height reached unto the heaven, and 
the fight thereof to all the earth ; 

21 Whofe leaves were fiir, and the fruit thereof 
much, and in it was meat for all ; under which the 
beafts ofthe field dwelt, end upon whofe branches 
the fowls of the heaven had their habitation : 

22 It is thou, O king, that art grown, and become 
ftrong ; for thy greatnefs is grown, and reacheth un- 
to heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth. 

23 And whereas the king faw a watcher and an holy 
One coming down from heaven, and faying, Hew the 
tree down, and deflroy it ; yet leave the flump ofthe 
roots thereof in the earth ; even with a band of iron and 

j brafs, in the tender grafs of the field ; and let it be wet 

with

with the dew of heaven , and let his portion &? with 
the beafts of the field, till feven times pafs over him ? 

24 This is the interpretation, O king, and this is 
the decree of the moil High, which is come upon my 
lord the king ; 

25 That they c {hall drive thee from men, and thy 
dwelling {hall be with the beails of the field, and they 
fhall make thee to eat grafs as oxen, and they {hall 
wet thee with the dew of heaven, and feven times 
fhall pafs* over thee, till thou know that the moil 
Highrulethin the kingdom of men, and givethitto 
whomfoever he will. 

26 And whereas, they commanded to leave the 
{lump of the tree roots ; thy kingdom ihall be fure 
unto thee, after that thou ihalt have knowft that the 
heavens do rule. 

27 Wherefore, O king, let my counfel be accept- 
able unto thee, and break off thy tins by righteoufnefs, 
and thine iniquities by {hewing mercy to the poor ; 
if it maybe || a lengthening of thy tranquillity. 

28 If All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar. 

29 At the end of twelve months he vv alked || in the 
palace of the kingdom of Babylon. 

30 The king fpake and laid. Is notthisgreat Babylon, 
that I have built for the houfe of the kingdom, by the 
might of my power, and for the honour of my majefty ? 

31 While the word was in the king's mouth there 
fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchad- 
nezzar, to thee it is fpoken ; The kingdom is depart- 
ed from thee ; 

32 And they fhall drive thee from men, and thy 
dwelling shall be with the beails of the field : they 
ihall make thee to eat grafs as oxen, and feven times 
{hall pafs over thee, until thou know that the moll 
High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to 
whomfoever he will. 

33 The fame hour was the thing fulfilled upon 
Nebuchadnezzar : and he was driven from men, and 
did eat grafs as oxen, and his body was wet with the 
dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' 
fedthers, and his nails like birds' claws. 

34 And at the end of the days I Nebuchadnezzar 
lifted up mine eyes unto heaven, and mine underltand- 
ing returned unto me, and I bleffed the moil High, 
and I praifed and honoured him that liveth for ever, 
whole dominion is d an everlaliing dominion, and his 
kingdom is from generation to generation : 

35 And all the inhabitants of the earth are reputed 
as nothing : and he doeth according to his will in the 
army of heaven, and among the inhabitants of the 
earth ; and none can ltay his hand, or fay unto him, 
e What doeft thou ? 

36 At the fame time my reafon returned unto me ; 
and, for the glory of my kingdom, mine honour and 
brightnefs returned unto me ; and my councilors and 
my lords fought unto me ; and I was eilablilhed in rny 
kingdom, and excellent majefty was added unto me. 

37 Now I Nebuchadnezzar praile, and extol, and 
honour, the King of heaven, all whole works are 
truth, and his ways judgment ; and thofe that walk in 
pride he is able to abafe.

Daniel brought in before Belshazzar. 

BELSHAZZAR the king made a great feail to a 
thoufand of his lords, and drank wine before 
the thoufand. 

2 Belihazzar, whiles he tailed the wine, commanded 
to bring the golden and filver veffels which his || father 
Nebuchadnezzar had f taken out of the temple which 
was ill Jerufalem, that the king and his princes, his 
wives, and his concubines, might drink therthw. 

3 Then they brought the golden veffels that were 
taken out of the temple of the houfe of God which 
was at Jerufalem ; and the king and his princes, ^his 
wives, and his concubines, drank in them. 

4 They drank wine, and praifed the gods oPgoId, 
and of filver, of brafs, of iron, of wood, and of Hone. 

5 If In the fame hour came forth fingers of a man's 
hand, and wrote over againft the candieftick upon 
the plailer of the wall of the king's palace ; and the 
king few the part of the hand that wrote. 

_ 6 Then the king's f countenance f was changed, atflitchaM. 
his thoughts troubled him, fo that the || f joints of hisf^h!.jd! 
loins were loofed, and his knees fmote one againfi 
another. 

7 The king cried f aloud to bring in the aftrologers, 
the Chaldeans, and the foothfayers : and the king fpake 
and faid to the wife men of Babylon, Whofoeve'r fhall 
read this writing, and {hew me the interpretation 
thereof, ihall be clothed with || fcarlet, and haves, chain 
of gold about his neck, and ihall be the third ruler in 
the kingdom. 

8 Then came in all the king's wife men : but they 
could not read the writing, nor make known to the 
king the interpretation thereof. 

m 9 Then was king Belihazzar greatly troubled, and 
his f countenance was changed in him, and his lords 
were allonilhed. 

# 10 If Now the queen, by reafon of the words of the 
king and his lords, came into the banquet houfe ; and 
the queen fpake and faid, O king, live for ever : let 
not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance 
be changed : 

11 a There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is l c J? r 
the fpirit of the holy Gods ; and in the days of thy 
|| father, light, and underlianding, and wifdom, like 
the wifdom of the gods, was found in him ; whom the 
king Nebuchadnezzar thy || father, the king, I say, 
thy father, made b mailer of the magicians, aftrolo- 
gers, Chaldeans, aw/ foothfayers ; 

12 Forafmuch as an excellent fpirit, and knowledge, 
and underftanding, || interpreting of dreams, anil {hew- 
ing of hard fentences, and || dillblving of f doubts, 
were found in the fame Daniel, whom the king named 
Beltefhazzar : now let Daniel be called, and he will 
ihew the interpretation. 

13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And 
the king fpake and faid untoDaniel, Art thou that Dan- 
iel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, 
whom the king my || father brought out of Jewry ? 

14 I have even heard of thee that the fpirit of the 
Gods is in thee, and that light, and underftanding, 
and excellent wifdom is found in thee. 

15 And now the wife men, the aftrologers, have 
been brought in before me, that they fhould read this 
writing, -Mid make known unto me the interpretation 
thereof : but they could not lhew the interpretation of 
the thing.

thou canft read the writing, and make known to me 
the interpretation thereof, thou (halt be clothed with 
fcarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and 
ihalt be the third ruler in the kingdom. 

17 H Then Daniel anfwered andfaid before the king, 
Let thy gifts be to thyfelf, and give thy U rewards to 
another ; yet I will read the writing unto the king, 
and make known to him the interpretation. 

18 O thou king, the moft high God gave Nebu- 
chadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majefty, and 
glory, and honour. 

19 And, for the majefty that he gave him, ail peo- 
ple, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before 
him : whom he would he flew, and whom he would 
he kept alive, and whom he would he fet up, and whom 
he would he put down. 

20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind 
gardened || in pride, he was t depol'ed from his kingly 

one, and they took his glory from him : 

21 And he was c driven from the fons of men ; and 
|| his heart was made like the beads, and his dwelling 
was with the wild affes : they fed him with grafs like 
oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, 
till he knew that the moft high God ruled in the king- 
dom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomfo- 
ever he will. 

22 And thou his fon, O Belfhazzar, haft not hum- 
bled thine heart, though thou kneweft all this ; 

23 But haft lifted up thyfelf againlt the Lord of 
heaven ; and they have brought the veffels of his houfe 
before thee, and thou and thy lords, thy wives, and thy 
concubines, have drunk wine in them ; and thou haft 
praifed the gods of iilver, and gold, of brafs, iron, wood, 
and ftone, which fee not, nor hear, nor know : and the 
God in whofe hand thy breath is, and whole are all 
thy ways, haft thou not glorified. 

24 Then was the part of the hand fent from him ; 
and this writing was written. 

25 IT And this is the writing that was written, 
MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. 

26 This is the interpretation of the thing ; MENE ; 
God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finilhed it. 

27 TEKEL ; Thou art weighed in the balances, 
and art found wanting, 

28 PERES ; Thy kingdom is divided, and given 
to the Medes and Perlians. 

29 Then commanded Belfhazzar, and they clothed 
Daniel with fcarlet, and put a chain of gold about his 
neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that 
he fhould be the third ruler in the kingdom. 

30 If In that night was Belfhazzar the king of the 
Chaldeans flam.

10 Daniel, accused of the breach thereof, is cast into

adversaries are cast in and devoured: 26 Darius, by 
a decree, magnifeth God. 

IT pleafed Darius to fet over the kingdom an hun-

whole kingdom ; 
2 And ever thefe three prefidents, (of whom Daniel

was firft,) that the princes might give accounts unto 
them, and the king lhould have no damage. 

3 Then this Daniel was preferred above the prefi- 
dents and princes, becaufe an excellent fpirit was ia 
him ; and the king thought to fet him over the whole 
realm. 

4 IT Then the prefidents and princes fought to find 
occafion againlt Daniel concerning the kingdom, but 
they could find none occafion nor fault ; forafmueh as 
he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault 
found in him. 

5 Then faid thefe men, We ftiall not find any occa- 
fion againft this Daniel, except we find it againft him 
concerning the law of his God. 

6 Then thefe prefidents and princes || affembled nor,««a 
together to the king, and faid thus unto him, King %fip r ' 
DariuSjdive for ever. 

7 All the prefidents of the kingdom, the governors 
and the princes, the counfellors and the captains, have 
confulted together to eftablifh a royal ftatute, and to 
make a firm || decree, that whofoever fhall afk a peti- }°-; di ,. 
tion of any god or man for thirty days, fave of thee, 

O king, he fhall be caft into the den of lions. 

8 Now, O king, eftablifh the decree, and fign the 
writing, that it be not changed, according to the a law 
of the Medes and Perfians, which f altereth not. tchaid. 

9 Wherefore king Darius figned the writing and the pa " eth m * 
decree. 

10 _lf Now, when Daniel knew that the writing was 
figned, he went into his houfe ; and, his windows being 

open in his chamber b toward Jerufalem, he kneeled \ ' ^"s* 
upon his knees c three times a day, and prayed, and cptalm 
gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. " l7 ' 

11 Then thefe men affembled, and found Daniel 
praying and making fupplication before his God. 

12 Then they came near, and fpake before the king 
concerning the king's decree ; Haft thou not iigned a 
decree, that every man that fhall afk a petition of any 
god or man within thirty days, fave of thee, O king, 
fhall be caft into the den of lions ? The king anfwered 
andfaid, The thing is true, according to the law of 
the Medes and Perlians, which altereth not. 

13 Then anfwered they, and faid before the king,. 
That Daniel, which is of the children of the captivity 
ofJudah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree 
that thou haft figned, but maketh his petition three 
times a day. 

14 Then the king, when he heard these words, was- 
fore difpleafed with himfelf, and fet his heart on Daniel 
to deliver him ; and he laboured till the going down 
of the fun to deliver him. 

15 Then thefe men affembled untcr the king, and- 
faid unto the king, Know, O king, diat the law of the 
Medes and Perlians is, that no decree nor ftatute which; 
the king eftabiifheth may be changed. 

16 Then the king commanded, and they brought 
Daniel, and caft him into the den of lions. Now the 
king fpake, and faid unto Daniel, Thy God, whom 
thou ferveft continually, he will deliver thee. 

17 And a ftone was brought, and laid upon the 
mouth of the den ; and the king fealed it with his own 
fignet, and with the fignet of his lords, that the pur- 
pofe might not be changed concerning Daniel. 

18 II Then the king went to his palace, and paffed 

the night falling : neither were || inftrumentsof mufic » ©maW** 
brought before him j and hisfleep went from him.

christ 19 Then the king arofe very early in the morning, 
^I y 5^j and went in hafte unto the den of lions. 

20 And, when he came to the den, he cried with a 
lamentable voice unto Daniel ; andt\\e king fpake and 
faid to Daniel, O Daniel, fervant of the living God, is 
thy God, whom thou ferveft continually, able to deliver 
thee from the lions ? 

21 Then faid Daniel unto the king, O king, live 
for ever. 

22 My God hath fent his angel, and hath fhut the 
lions' mouths, that they have not hurt me : forafmuch 
as before him innocency was found in me ; and alfo 
before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. 

23 Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and 
commanded that they ihould take Daniel up out of 
the den. So Daniel was taken up out of the den, and 
no manner of hurt was found upon him, becaufe he 
believed in his God. 

24 IF And the king commanded,, and they brought 
thofe men which had accufed Daniel, and they caft 
them into the den of lions, them, their children^ and 
their wives ; and the lions had the maltery of them, 
and brake all their bones in pieces or ever they came 
at the bottom of the den. 

25 IF Then king Darius wrote unto all people, na- 
tions, and languages, that dwell in all the earth ; Peace 
be multiplied unto you. 

26 I make a decree, That in every dominion of my 
kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of

IN the firft year of Belfhazzar king of Babylon, Dan-

bed ; then he wrote the dream, <377^toid the fum of the 
|| matters. 

2 Daniel fpake and faid, I faw in my vifion by night, 
and, behold, the four winds of the heaven ftrove upon 
the great fea. 

3 And four great beafls came up from the fea, 
diverfe one from another. 

4 The firii voas like a lion, arid had eagle's wings : 
l^' wh!re ' ^ beheld till the wings thereof were plucked, || and it 

was lifted up from the earth, and made ftand upon the 
feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it. 

5 And, behold, another beaft, a fecond, like to a 
bear, and || it railed up itfelf on one fide, and it had 
three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it ; 
and they faid thus unto it, Arife, devour much flefh. 

6 After this I beheld, and, lo, another like a leopard, 
which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl : the 
beaft had alfo four heads ; and dominion was given to it. 

7 After this I faw in the night vifions, and, behold, 
a fourth beaft, dreadful and terrible, and ftrong ex- 
ceedingly ; and it had great iron teeth : it devoured 
and brake in pieces, and ftamped the refidue with the 
feet of it ; and it was diverfe from all the beafts. that 
ivere before it. and it had ten horns.

man, and a mouth fpeaking great things. 

9 IF I beheld till the thrones were call down, and 
the Ancient of days did fit, whole garment was white 
as fnow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool : 
his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as 
burning fire. 

10 A fiery ftream iffued , and came forth from before 
him : a thoufand thoufands miniftered unto him, and 
ten thoufand times ten thoufand flood before him : 
the b judgment was fet, and the books were opened. 

Ill beheld then, becaufe of the voice of the great 
words which the horn fpake : I beheld, even till the 
beaft was (lain, and his body deftroyed, and given to- 
the burning flame. 

12 As- concerning the reft of the beafts, they had 
their dominion taken away : yet f their lives were 
prolonged for a feafon and time. 

13 I faw in the night vifions, and, behold, one like 
the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and 
came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him 
near before hirm 

14 And there •was given him dominion, and glory, 
and a kingdom, thatali people, nations, and languages,, 
fhould lerve him : his dominion is c an everlafting 
dominion, which fhall not pafs away, and his kingdom 
that which fhall not be deftroyed. 

15 IF I Daniel was grieved in my fpirit in the midft 
of my t body, and the vifions of my head troubled me. 

16 1 came near unto one of them that flood by, and 
alked him the truth of all this : fo he told me, and 
made me know the interpretation of the things. 

17 Thefe great beads, which are four, are four 
which fhall arife out of the earth. 

18 But the faints of the t moil High fhall take the 
kingdom, and poffefs the kingdom for ever, even for 
ever and ever. 

19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beaft, 
which was diverfe f from all the others, exceeding 
dreadful, whofe teeth were of iron, and his nails of 
brafs, ivhich devoured, brake in pieces, and ftamped 
the refidue with his feet. 

20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and 
of the other which came up, and before whom three 
fell, even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that 
fpake very great things, whofe look was more ftout 
than his fellows. 

21 I beheld, and the fame horn made war with the 
faints, and prevailed againft them ; 

22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment 
was given to the faints of the moft High ; and the time 
came that the faints poffeffed the kingdom. 

23 Thus he faid, The fourth beaft fhall be the fourth 
kingdom upon earth, which fhall be diverfe from all 
kingdoms, and mall devour the whole earth, and ihall 
tread it down, and break it in pieces. 

24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten 
kings that fhall arife : and another fhall rife after 
them, and he fhall be diverfe from the firft, and he 
fhall fubdue three kings. 

25 And he fhall ipcak great words againft the moft 
High, and fhall wear out the faints of the moft High, 
and think to change times and laws ; and they fhall

CHAP. VIII. 
1 Daniel'* s vision of the ram and he goat. 13 The 
suspension of the daily sacrifices, &c. 15 Gabriel 
comjorteth Daniel, £sfc. 

IN the third year of the reign of king Belfhazzar a 
viiion appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, af- 
ter that which appeared unto me at the firft. 

2 And I law in a viiion, (and it came to pafs, when 
I faw, that I was at Shufhan in the palace, which is in 
the province of Elam,) and I faw in a viiion, and I was 
by the river of Ulai. 

5 Then I lifted up mine eyes and faw, and, behold, 
there flood before the river a ram which had two 
horns : and the two horns were high ; but one was 
higher than fthe other, and the higher came up laft. 

4 I faw the ram puihing weftward, and northward, 
and fouthward, fo that no beafts might ftand before 
him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his 
hand; but he did according to his will, and became great. 

5 And as I was coniidering, behold, an he goat 
came from the welt on the face of the whole earth, and 

touched not the ground : and the goat had t a nota-

6 And he came to_ the ram that had two horns, 
which I had feen Handing before the river, and ran un- 
to him in the fury of his power. 

7 And I law him come clofe unto the ram, and he 
was moved with choler againft him, and fmote the ram, 
and brake his two horns ; and there was no power in 
the ram to ftand before him, but he call him down to 
the ground, and ftamped upon him : and there was 
none that could deliver the ram out of his hand. 

8 Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and 
when he was ftrong the great horn was broken ; and 
for it -came up a four notable ones toward the four 
winds of heaven. 

9 And out of one of them came forth a little horn, 
which waxed exceeding great, toward the fouth, and 
toward the eaft, and toward the b pleafant land. 

10 And it waxed great, even || to the hoft cf heav-

15' II And it came to pafs, when I, even I Daniel, 
had feen the vifion, and fought for the meaning, then, 
behold, there flood before me as the appearance of a 
man. 

16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of 
Ulai, which called and faid, c Gabriel, make this man %*%**' 
to underftand the vifion. 

17 So he came near where I flood ; and when he 
came I was afraid, and fell upon my face : but he 
faid unto me, Underftand, O fon of man ; for at the 
time of the tnd shall be the viiion. 

18 Now, as he was fpeaking with me, I was in a 
deep fleep on my face toward the ground : but he 
touched me, and ffet me upright. 

19 And he faid, Behold, I will make thee know 
what fhall be in the laft end of the indignation : for at ** 
the time appointed the end shall be. 

20 The ram which thou faweil, having two horns, 
are the kings of Media and Periia. 

21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia : and 
the great horn that is between his eyes is the firft king. 

22 Now that being broken, whereas four flood up 
for it, four kingdoms fhall ftand up out of the nation, 
but not in his power. 

23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when 

the tranfgreffors t are come to the full, a king of fierce tSm- are 
countenance, and underftanding dark fentences, fhall ^«*«* 
ftand up. 

24 And his power fhall be mighty, but not by his 
own power ; and he fhall deftroy wonderfully, and 
fhall profper, and praclife, and fhall deftroy the migh- 
ty and the t holy people. J/1$m£» 

25 And through his policy alfo he fhall caufe craft v ones - 
to profper in his hand ; and he fhall magnify himself in 
his heart, and by |j peace fhall deftroy many : he fhall 
alfo ftand up againft the Prince of princes ; but he 
fhall be d broken without hand. 

26 And the vifion of the evening and the morning, 
which was told, is true : wherefore fhut thou up the 
vifion ; for it shall be for many days. 

27 And I Daniel fainted, and was lick certain days ; 
afterward I rofe up, and did the king's buiineis ; and 
I was aftonifhed at the vifion, but none underftood it.

AN D at that time ihall Michael ftand up, the great

people ; and there fhall be a time of trouble, fuch as 
never was iince there was a nation even to that fame 
time : and at that time thy people fhall be delivered, 
every one that shall be found written in the book. 

2 And many of them that fleep in the duft of the

to fhame and everlafting contempt. 

3 And they that be || wife ihall Mhine as the bright-

4 But thou, O Daniel, fhut up the words, and feal

to and fro, and knowledge fhall be increafed. 

5 ff Then I Daniel looked, and behold, there flood

river, and the other on that fide of the bank of the river. 

6 And one faid to c the man clothed in linen, which 
was || upon the waters of the river, How long shall it \sf^ rm 
be to the end of thefe wonders ? 

7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was 
upon the w aters of the river, when he d held up his 
right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and i'ware 
by him that liveth for ever, that it shall be for a time, 
times, and || an half; and when he ihall have accom- 
plifhed to Icatter the power of the holy people, all thefe

8 And I heard, but I underftood not : then faid I, 
O my Lord, what shall be the end of thefe things ? 

9 And he faid, Go thy way, Daniel, for the words 
are doled up and fealed till the time of the end. 

10 Many ihallbe purified, and made white, and tried; 
but the w icked ihall do wickedly : and none of the

CHAP. I. 

1 TJ.>e times when Hosea prophesied. 2 To shew the 
idolatrous whoredoms of the land he marrieth a wife 
of whoredoms, 4 and bath by her Jazreel. 

THE word of the Lord that came unto Hofea, 
the fon of Been, in the days of Uzziah, Jo- 
tham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in 
the days of Jeroboam the fon of Joafh king of Ifrael. 

2 11 The beginning of the word of the Lord by Ho- 
fea. And the Lord Paid to Hofea, Go, take unto 
thee a wife of whoredoms, and children of whoredoms : 
for the land hath committed great whoredom, depart- 
ing from the Lord. 

3 So he went and took Gomer the daughter of Dib- 
laim : which conceived, and bare him a fon. 

4 And the Lord faid unto him, Call his name Jez- 
reel ; for yet a little while, and I will f avenge the 
blood of Jezreel upon the houfe of Jehu, and will 
caufe to ceafe the kingdom of the houfe of Ifrael. 

5 And it fhall come to pafs at that day, that I will 
break the bow of Ifrael in the valley of Jezreel. 

6 *il And flie conceived again, and bare a daughter. 
And GWfaid unto him, Call her name |[ Loruhamah: 
for f I will no more have mercy upon the houfe of 
Ifrael ; || but I will utterly take thern away. 

7 But I will have mercy upon the houfe of Judah, 
and will fave them by the Lord their God, and will 
not fave them by bow, nor by fword, nor by battle, nor 
by horfes, nor by horfemen. 

8 H Now, when fhe had weaned Loruhamah, fhe 
conceived and bare a fon. 

9 Then faid God, Call his name |j Loammi : for ye 
are not my people, and I will not be your God. 

10 II Yet the number of the children of Ifrael fhall 
be as the fand of the fea, which cannot be meafured 
nor numbered : a and it fhall come to pafs, that || in 
the place where it was faid unto them, Ye are not 
my people, there it fhall be faid unto them, Ye are 
the fons of the living God. 

11 b Then fhall the children of Judah and the chil- 
dren of Ifrael be gathered together, and appoint them- 
felves one head, and they fhall come up out of the 
land : for great shall be the day of Jezreel. 

CHAP. II. 
1 The people exhorted to forsake idolatry, which is 
threatened with severe judgments. 14 God allureth 
them with promises of reconciliation. 

SAY ye unto your brethren, || Ammi ; and to your 
filters, || Ruhamah. 

2 Plead with your mother, plead ; for a fhe is not 
my wife, neither am I her hufband : let her therefore- 
put away her b whoredoms out of her fight, and her 
adulteries from between her breafts ; 

3 Left I ftrip her naked, and fet her as in the day 
that {he was c born, and make her as a wildernefs, and 
fet her like a dry land, and flay her with thirft. 

4 And I will not have mercy upon her children ; 
for they be the children of whoredoms. 

5 For their mother hath played the harlot ; fhe 

2 



that conceived them hath done' fhamefully : for flie 
faid, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread 
and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my 
f drink. 

6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with 
thorns, and f make a. wall, that fhe fhall not find her 
paths. 

7 And fhe fhall follow after her lovers, but fhe fhall 
not overtake them ; and fhe fhall feek them, but fhall- 
not find them : then fhall fhe fay, I will go and return 
to my firft hufband ; for then ivas it- better with me 
than now. 

8 For flie did not know that I gave her corn, and 
f wine, and oil, and multiplied her fifver and gold, 
|| which they prepared for Baal. 

9 Therefore will I return, and take away my corn 
in the time thereof, and my wine in the feafon thereof, 
and will || recover my wool and my flax given to cov- 
er her nakednefs. 

10 And now will 1 difcover her f lewdnefs in the 
fight of her lovers, and none fhall deliver her out of 
mine hand. 

11 I will alfo caufe all her mirth to ceafe, her feafl 
days, her new moons, and her fabbaths, and all her 
folemn feafts. 

12 And I will f deftroy her vines and her fig trees, 
whereof flie hath faid, Thefe are my rewards that my 
lovers have given me : and I will make them a foreft, 
and the beafts of the field fhall eat them. 

13 And I will vifit upon her the days of Baalim, 
wherein flie burnt incenfe to them, and flie decked 
herfelf with her earrings and her jewels, and flie went 
after her lovers, and forgat me, faith the Lord. 

14 H Therefore, behold, 1 will allure her, and bring 
her into the wildernefs, and fpeak || f comfortably un- 
to her. 

15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, 
and the valley of Achor for a door of hope ; and ihe 
fhall fing there as in the days of her youth, and as in 
the day when flie came up out of the land of Egypt. 

16 And it fhall be at that day, faith the Lord, that 
thoufhalt call me || Iflii, and fhalt call me no more 
|| Baali. 

17 For I will take away the names of Baalim out of 
her mouth, and they fhall no more be remembered 
by their name. 

18 And in that day will I make a d covenant for 
them with the beafts of the field, and with the fowls of 
heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground : 
and I will break the bow, and the f,vord, and the bat- 
tle, out of the earth, and will make them to lie down 
fafely. 

19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever ; yea, 
I will betroth thee unto me in rightcoufnefs, and in 
judgment, and in loving kindnefs, and in mercies. 

20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulnefs ; 
and thou fhalt know the Lord. 

21 And it fliall come to pafs in that day, I will hear,

By the prophet taking unto him an adulteress is shewed 

the desolation of Israel, before their restoration. 

HEN laid the Lord unto me, Go, yet love a wo- 
man beloved of her friend, yet an adulterefs, 
according to the love of the Lord toward the children 
oflfrael, who look to other gods, and love flagons | 
t of wine. 

2 So I bought her to me for fifteen pieces of filver, and 
for an homer of barley, and an f half homer of barley. 

3 And I faid unto her, Thou fhalt a abide for me 
many days : thou fhalt not play the harlot, and thou 
fhalt not be for another man ; fo xvill I alfo be for thee. 

4 For the children of Ifrael fhall abide many days 
without a king, and without a prince, and without 
a facrifice, and without f an image, and without an 
ephod, and without teraphim. 

5 Afterward fhall the children of Iirael return, 
and feek the Lord their God, and b David their 
king ; and fhall fear the Lord and his gcodnefs in 
the c latter davs. 

C H A P. IV. 

1 God's judgments against the sins of the people, 6 and 
of the priests, 12 and against their idolatry ', 15 Ju- 
dah is exhorted to take Warning by Israel's calamity. 

EAR the word of the Lord, ye children of Ii- 
rael : for the Lord hath a a controverfy with the 
inhabitants of the land, becaufe there is no truth, nor 
mercy, npr knowledge of God, in the land. 

2 By (wearing, and lying, and killing, and ftealing, 
and committing adultery, they break out, and \ blood 
toucheth blood. 

3 Therefore fiiall the land mourn, and every one 
that dwelleth therein fiiall languifh, with the beads 
of the field, and with the fowls of heaven; yea, the 
fiihes cf the fea alfo fiiall be taken away. 

4 Yet let no man drive nor reprove another : for 
thy people are as they that drive with the pried. 

5 Therefore fhalt thou fall in the day, and the 
prophet alfo fiiall fall with thee in the night, and I will 
t deftroy thy mother. 

6 If My people are t dedroyed for lack of knowl- 
edge : becaufe thou had rejected knowledge, I will 
alfo reject thee, that thou ihalt be r.o pried to me : 
feeing thou had forgotten the law of thy God, I will 
alfo forget thy children. 

7 As they were increafed, fo they finned againd me ; 
therefore will I change their glory into fhame. 

8 They eat up the fin of my people, and they f fet 
their heart on their iniquity. 

9 And there fiiall be, b like people, like pried : and 
I will t punilh them for their ways, and | reward them 

s their doings. 

10 For they fiiall eat, and not have enough ; they 
{hall Commit whoredom, and fhall not increafe : be- 
caufe they have left off to take heed to the Lord. 

11 Whoredom, and wine, and new wine, take 
away the heart.

12 If My people afk ccunfel at their docks, and ^f v

doms hath caufed tbem to err, and they have gone a 
whoring from under their God. 

13 They facrifice upon the tops of the mountains, 
and burn incenfe upon the hills, under oaks, and pop- 
lars, and elms, becaufe the ihadow thereof is good : 
therefore your daughters fiiall commit whoredom, 
and vour fpoufes fiiall commit adultery, 

14 || I will not punifii your daughters when they J*^ 
commit whoredom, nor your fpoufes when they com- 
mit adultery; for themfelves are feparated with whores, 
and they facrifice with harlots ; therefore the people 
that doth not underdanel fiiall || fall. 

15 If Though thou, Ifrael, play the harlot, yet let not 
Judah offend ; and come not ye unto Gilgai, neither 
go ye up c to Bethaven, nor fwear, The Lord liveth. 

16 For Ifrael flideth back as a backfliding heifer : 
now the Lord will feed them as a lamb in a large place. 

17 Ephraim « joined to idols : let him alone. 

18 Their drink f is four ; .they have committed £*£.

God's judgments against the priests, the people, and 
the princes of Israel, for their manifold sins, &fc. 

EAR ye this, Opriefts ; and hearken, yehoufe 
oflfrael ; and give ye ear, O houfe of the king : 
for juelgment is towarel you, becaufe ye have been a 
fnare on Mizpah, and a net fpread upon Tabor. 

2 Anel the revolters are profound to make daughter, 
f| though I have been t a rebuker of them alh 

3 I know Ephraim, and Ifrael is not hid from me : 
for now, O Ephraim, thou committed whoredom, 
and Ifrael is defiled. 

4 f il They will not frame their doings to turn unto t"^J hey 
their God.: for the fpirit of whoredoms is in the mifjft 
of them, anel they have not known the Lord. 

5 And the pride of Ifrael doth tedify to his face : 
therefore fiiall Ifrael and Ephraim fall in their iniqui- 
ty ; Judah alio fiiall fall with them. 

6 They fiiall go with their flocks anel with their 
herds to feek the Lord ; but they fiiall not find him .• 
he hath withdrawn himfclf from them. 

7 They have dealt treacherouily againd the Lord ; 
for they have begotten ftrange children : now fiiall a 
month devour them with their portions. 

8 Blow ye the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in 
Ramah ; cry aloud ai Bethaven, afterthee, O Benjamin. 

9 Ephraim fiiall be defolate in the elay of rebuke : 
among the tribes of Ifrael have I made known that 
which fiiall furely be. 

10 The princes of Judah were like them that re- 
move the bound : therefore I will pour out my wrath 
upon them like water. 

11 Ephraim is opprefled and broken in judgment, 
becaufe he willingly walked after the commandment. 

12 Therefore will I be unto Ephraim as a moth, 
and to the houfe of Judah as || rottenntfs.

Israel and Jndah for persisting still in their wicked- 
ness. 

COME, and let us return unto the Lord : for he 
hath torn, and he will heal us ; he hath fmitten, 
and he will bind us up. 

2 a After two days will he revive us ;■ in the third 
day he will raife us up, and we fhall live in his light. 

3 Then fhall we know, if we follow on to know the , 
Lord : his going forth is prepared as the morning ; 
and he fhall come unto us as the rain, as the latter and 
former rain unto the earth. 

4 If O EphraiKi, what fhall I do unto thee ? O Judah, 
what fhall I do unto thee ? for your || goodnefs is as a 
morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. 

5 Therefore, have I hewed them by the prophets ; 
I have flam them by the words of my mouth : || and 
thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. 

6 For I defired h mercy, and not facrifice ; and the 
knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

5 Thy calf, O Samaria, hath call thee off : mine an-

EJOICE not, 'O Ifrael, for joy as other people, for 
thou has gone a whoring from thy God ; thou

2 The floor and the If wine prefs fhall not feed 
them, and the new wine fhall fail in her., 

3 They fhall not dwell in the Lord's land ; but 
Ephraim fhall return to Egypt, and they i'hall eat un- 
clean things in Affyria. 

4 They fhall not offer wine offerings to the Lord, 
neither fhall they be pleafing unto him : their facri- 
fices shall be unto them as the bread of mourn- 
ers ; all that eat thereof fhall be polluted : for their 
bread for their foul fnall not come into the houfe of 
the Lord. 

5 What will ye do in the folcmn day, and in the 
day of the feaft of the Lord. 

6 For, lo, they are gone, becaufe oft deftruction: 
Egypt fhall gather them up, Memphis fhall bury them ;

THefc. th* 7 The clays of vifitation are come, the da5's of rec-

tntb-nuHifis a fool, the t fpiritual man is mad, for the multitude 
" '•*" of thine iniquity, and the great hatred. 

8 The watchman of Ephraim ivas with my God : 
but the prophet is a faare of a fowler in all his ways, 
and hatred || in the houfe of his God. 

9 They have deeply corrupted themselves, as in the 
days of b Gibeah : therefore he will remember their 
iniquity, he will vilit their fins. 

10 I found Ifrael like grapes in the wildernefs ; I

themfelves unto that fhame ; and their abominations 
were according as they loved. 

1 1 As for Ephraim, their glory fhall fly away like 
a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, and from 
the conception, 

12 Though they bring up their children, yet will I 
bereave them, that there shall not be a man left : yea, 
woe alfo to them when I depart from them ! 

13 Ephraim, as I faw Tyrus, is planted in a pleafant 
place ; but Ephraim fhall bring forth his children to

16 Ephraim is fmitten, their root is dried up, they 
fhall bear no fruit ; yea, though they bring forth, yet 
will I flay even f the beloved fruit of their womb.

the goodnefs of his land they have made goodly guif'

2 || Their heart is divided ; now fhall they be found 
faulty : he fhall f break down their altars, he lhall 
fpoil their images. 

3 For now they fhall fay, We have no king, becaufe 
we feared not the Lord ; what then fhould a king do 
to us ? 

4 They have fpoken words, fwearing falfely in 
making a covenant : thus judgment fpnngeth up as 
hemlock in the furrows of the field. 

5 The inhabitants of Samaria lhall fear becaufe of 
the calves of Bethaven : for the people thereof fhall 
mourn over it, and || the priefts thereof that rejoiced 
on it, for the glory thereof, becaufe it is departed 
from it. 

6 It fhall be alfo carried unto Affyria for a prefent 
to a king Jareb : Ephraim fhall receive Ihame, and 
Ifrael fhall be afhamed of his own counfel. 

7 As for Samaria, her king is cut off as the foam 
upon t the water. 

8 The high places alfo of Aven, the fin of Ifrael, 
fhall be deftroyed : the thorn and the thiftle lhall come 
up on their altars ; b and they fhall fay to the moun- 
tains, Cover us ; and to the hills, Fall on us. 

9 O Ifrael, thou haft finned from the days of Gi- & 9 6 - 
beah ; there they ftood % the battle in Gibeah againft 
the children of iniquity did not overtake them. 

10 It is in my defire that I fhould chaftife them ;• 
and the people mail be gathered againft them, || when 
they ihall bind themfelves in their two furrows. 

11 And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, and 
loveth to tread out the com ; but I palled over upon 
t her fair neck : I will make Ephraim to ride ; Judah 
lhall plough, and Jacob ihall break his clods. 

12 Sow to yourfelves in righteoufnefs, reap in 
mercy ; c break up your fallow ground : for it is time 
to feek the Lord, till he come and rain righteoufnefs 
upon you. 

13 Ye have ploughed wickednefs, ye have reaped 
iniquity, ye have eaten the fruit of lies. Becaufe 
thou didft truft in thy way, in the multitude cf thy 
mighty men. 

14 Therefore fliall a tumult arife among thy people, 
and all thy fortreffes lhall be fpoiled, as Shalman 
fpoiled d Betharbel in the day of battle : the mother 
was dafhed in pieces upon her children. 

15 So fliall Bethel do unto you becaufe of f your 
great wickednefs : in a morning ihall the king of Ifrael 
utterly be cut off.

17 The t feed is rotten under the clod, the gar-

the corn is withered, 

18 How clothe beafts groan ! the herds of cattle are 
perplexed, becaufe they have no pafture ; yea, the 
flocks of fheep are made defolate. 

19 O Lord, to thee will I cry ; for the fire hath 




devoured the || paftures of the wildernefs, and the J 
flame hath burnt all the trees of the field. 

20 The beafts of the field cry alfo unto thee ; for 
the rivers of waters are dried up, and the fire hath de-

1 The prophet describeth the locusts as God's mighty

confer teth Zion with present blessings, &V.

cometh, for it is nigh at hand : 

2 A day of darknefs and of gloominefs, a day of 
clouds and of thick darknefs, as the morning fpread 
upon the mountains ; a great people and a ftrong ; 
there hath not been ever the like, neither fhall be anj r 
more after it, even to the years f of many generations. 

3 A fire devoureth before them, and behind them' 
a flame burnetii : the land is as the garden of Eden 
before them, and behind them a defolate wildernefs ; 
yea, and nothing fhall efcape them. 

4 The appearance of them is as the appearance of 
horfes ; and as horfemen fo fhall they run. 

5 Like the noife of chariots on the tops of moun- 
tains fhall they leap, like the noife of a flame of fire 
that devoureth the ftubble, as a ftrong people fet ins 
battle array. 

6 Before their face the people fhall be much pain- 
ed ; all faces fhall gather t blacknefs. 

7 They fhall run like mighty men, they fhall climb 
the wall like men of war, and they fhall march every 
one on his Mays, and they fhall not break their ranks ; 

8 Neither lhall one thrufl another, they fhall walk 
every one in his path ; and when thej' fall upon the

9 They fhall run to and fro in the city • they fhall

10 The earth fhall quake before them, the heavens 
fhall tremble : a the fun and the moon fhall be dark, 
and the ftars fhall withdraw their fhining :

in the days of Uzziah king of Judah, and in the days 
of Jeroboam the fori of Joaih king of Ifrael, two years 
44 "'-before the a earthquake. _ 

2 And he faid, The Lord will b roar from Zion, 
and utter his voice from Jerufalem ; and the habita- 
tions of the fhepherds fhall mourn, and the top of 
Carmel fhall wither. 

3 If Thus faith the Lord, For three tranfgreffions

\,°lr"™ r d the punishment thereof; becaufe they have threfhed 
fo^erfe'6? d Gilead with threfhing inftrumentsofiron ;

1 will turn mine hand againft Ekron : and the remnant 
of the Philiftines fhall perifh, faith the Lord God. 

9 If Thus faith the Lord, For three tranfgreffions

which fhall devour the palaces thereof. 

11 If Thus faith the Lord, For three tranfgreffions

1 God's judgments upon Moab, 4 upon Judah, 6 and

the Lord. 

4 If Thus faith the Lord, For three tranfgreffions

6 If Thus faith the Lord, For three tranfgreffions

HEAR this word that the Lord hath fpoken againfl 
you, O children of Ifrael, againfl the whole family 
which I brought up from the land of Egypt, faying, 

2 You only have I known, of all the families of the 
earth ; therefore I wilL f punifh you for all your ini- 
quities. 

3 Can two walk together except they be agreed ? 

4 Will a lion roar in the foreft when he hath no 
prey ? will a young lion t cry out of his den if he have 
taken nothing ? 

5 Can a bird fall in a fnare upon the earth where no 
gin is for him ? fhall one take up a fnare from the 
earth, and have taken nothing at all ? 

6 Shall a trumpet be blown in the city, and the 
people fi not be afraid ? fhall there be evil in a city, 
|| and the Lord hath not done it ? 

7 Surely the Lord God will do nothing,, but he re- 
vealeth his fecret unto his fervants the prophets. 

8 The lion hath roared, who will not fear I the Lord 
God hath fpoken, who can but prophefy ?. 

9 H Publifh in the palaces at Alhdod, and in the

great tumults in the midfl thereof, and the H oppreffed

10 For they know not to do right, faith the Lord, 
who ftore up violence and jj robbery in their palaces. 

11 Therefore thus faith the Lord God, An adver- 
fary there shall be even round about the land ; and he 
fhall bring down thy flrength from thee, and thy pal- 
aces ihall be fpoiled. 

12 Thus faith the Lord, As the fhepherd t taketh

dwell in Samaria in the corner of a bed, and || in Da-

13 Hear ye, and teftify in the houfe of Jacob, faith 
the Lord God, the God of holts,, 

14 That in the day that I fhall || vifit the tranfgref- 
fions of Ifrael upon him, I will alfo vifit the altars of 
Bethel ; and the horns of the altar ihall be cut off, and

10 I have fent among you the peftilence || after the

your noftrils : yet have ye not returned unto me, faith 
the Lord. 

Ill have overthrown some of you, as God over- 
threw 3 Sodom and Gomorrah, and ye were as a fire-

returned unto me, faith the Lord. 

12 Therefore thus will I do unto thee, O Ifrael : 
tftt^becaufe I will do this unto thee, prepare to meet 
thy God, O Ifrael. 

13 For, lo, he that formeth the mountains, and cre-

thought, that maketh the morning darknefs, and tread-

and maketh the day dark with night 5 that e calleth

the face of the earth ; The Lord is his name : 

9 That ftrengtheneth the t fpoiled againft the firbng, 
fo that the fpoiled lhall come againft the fortrefs. 

10 They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and 
they abhor him that fpeaketh uprightly. 

11 Forafmuch, therefore, as your treading wupon 
the poor, and ye take from him burdens of wheat ; 

ye have built houfes of hewn Hone, but ye fhall not 
dwell in them ; ye have planted t pleafant vineyards, 
but ye fhall not drink wine of them. 

12 For I know your manifold tranfgrefTtons and your 
mighty fins : they afflict the juft, they take || a bribe, and 
they turn afide the poor in the gate from their right ; 

13 Therefore the prudent fhall keep filence in that 
time, for it is an evil time. 

14 Seek good, and not evil, that 5 r e may live ; and 
fo the Lord, the God of hofts, fhall be with you, as 
ye have fpoken. 

15 e Hate the evil, and love the good, and eftablifh 
judgment in the gate : it may be that the Lord God 
of hofts will be gracious unto the remnant of Jofeph. 

16 Therefore the Lord, the God of hofts, the Lord, 
faith thus, Wailing shall be in all ftreets ; and they 
fhall fay in all the highways, Alas ! alas ! and they fhall 
call the hufbandman to mourning, and fuch as are 
fkilful of lamentation to wailing. 

17 And in all vineyards shall be wailing ; for I will 
pafs through thee, faith the Lord. 

18 f Woe unto you that delire the day of the Lord ! 
to what end is it for you ? the day of the Lord is dark- 
nefs, and not light. 

19 As if a man did flee from a lion, and a bear met 
him ; or went into the houfe, and leaned his hand on 
the wall, and a ferpent bit him. 

20 Shall not the day of the Lord be darknefs, and 
not light ? even very dark, and no brightnefs in it ? 

21 H s I hate, I defpife your feaft days, and I will not 
U fmell in your folemn affemblies. 

22 Though ye offer me burnt offerings, and your 
meat offerings, I will not accept them ; neither will I 
regard the || peace offerings of your fat beafts. 

23 Take thou away from me the noife of thy fongs ; 
for I will not hear the melody of thy viols. 

24 But let judgment f run down as waters, and 
righteoufnefs as a mighty ftream. 

25 h Have ye offered unto me facrifices and offer- 
ings in the wildernefs forty years, O houfe of Ifrael ? 

26 But ye have borne || the tabernacle of your

1 The judgments of the grasshoppers, 4 andof the fire, are

THUS hath the Lord God fhewed unto me ; and,, 
behold, he formed || grafshoppers in the beginning for, 
of the ihooting up of the latter growth ; and, lo, it 
was the latter growth after the king's mowings. 

2 And it came to pafs, that when they had made 
an end of eating the grafs of the land, then I laid, O 
Lord Gop ; forgive, Lbefeech thee ; || by whom fhall 
Jacob arife ? for he is fmall. 

3 The Lord repented for this : It fhall not be, faith '"""* 
the Lord. 

4 it Thus hath the Lord God fhewed unto me ; and. 
behold, the Lord God called to contend by fire, and 
it devoured the great deep, and did eat tip a part. 

5 Thenfaid I, O Lord God, ceafe, Ibcfeech thee ; 
by whom fhall Jacob arife ? for he is fmall. 

6 The Lord repented for this : This alfo fhall not 
be, faith the Lord God. 

7 If Thus he fhewed me ; and, behold, the Lord 
flood upon a wall made by a plumbline, with a plumb- 
line in his hand. 

8 And the Lord faid unto me, Amos, what feeft 
thou ? And I faid, A plumbline. Then faid the Lord, 
Behold, I will fet a plumbline in the midft of my

10 If Then Amaziah the prieft of Bethel lent to 
Jeroboam king of Ifrael, faying, Amos hath confpired 
againft thee in the midft of the houfe of Ifrael : the 
land is not able to bear all his words. 

11 For thus Amos faith, Jeroboam fhall die by the 
fword, and Ifrael fhall furely be led away captive out 
of their own land. 

12 Alfo Amaziah faid unto Amos, O thou feer, go, 
flee thee away into the land of Judah, and there eat 
bread, and prophefy there : 

13 But prophefy not again any more at Bethel; for 
it is the king's || chapel, and it is the f king's court. 

14 If Then anfwered Amos, and faid to Amaziah, 
I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's fon ; but I 
w as an herdman, and a gatherer of || fycamore fruit : 

15 And the Lord took me t as I followed the flock, 
from behind, and the Lord faid unto me, Go, prophefy unto my 

people Ifrael. 

16 If Now, therefore, hear thou the word of the 
Lord; Thou fayeft, Prophefy not againft Ifrael, and 
a drop not thy word againft the houfe of Ifaac. 

17 Therefore, thus faith the Lord, Thy wife fhall 
be an harlot in the city, and thy fons and thy daugh-

ed by line , and thou (halt die in a polluted land : and 
Ifrael fhall furely go into captivity forth of his land.

2 And he faid, Amos, what i^W thou ■? And I faid, 
A bafket of fummer fruit. Then faid the Lord unto 
me, The end is come upon my people of Ifrael ; I will 
not again pafs by them any more. 

3 And the (bugs of the temple f fhall be bowlings

forth wheat, making the ephah fmall, and the fhekel 
great, and \ faliifying the balances by deceit ? 

6 That we may buy the poor for a f'ilver, and the 
needy for a pair of ihoes ; yea, and fell the refufe of 
the wheat ? 

7 The Lord hath fworn by the excellency of Jacob, 
Surely I will never forget any of their works. 

8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every 
one mourn that dwelleth therein ? and it fhall rife up 
wholly as a flood ; anditfhall be caft out and drowned, 
as by the Hood of Egj'pt. 

9 And it fhall come to pafs in that day, faith the 
Lord God, that I will caufe the fun to go down at 
noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day : 

10 And I will turn s'our feafts into mourning, and 
all your fongs into lamentation ; and I will bring up 
fackcloth upon all loins, and baldneis upon every 
head ; and I will make it as the mourning of an only 
son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.

1 Jonah, being sent again, preach eth the overthrow of 
Nineveh. 5 Upon their repentance, 10 God repenteth. 

AND the word of the Lord came unto Jonah the 
fecond time, faying, 

2 Arife, go unto Nineveh, that great city, ajid preach 
unto it the preaching that I bid thee. 

3 So Jonah arofe, and went unto Nineveh, accord- 
ing to the wordfof the Lord. (Now Nineveh was an 
f exceeding great city of three day's journey.) 

4 And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's 
journey, and he cried, and faid, Yet forty days, and 
Nineveh fhall be overthrown. 

5 II So the people of Nineveh a believed God, and 
proclaimed a fall, and put on fackcloth, from the 
greateft of them, even to the leail of them. 

6 For word came unto the king of Nineveh ; and 
he arofe from his throne, and he laid his robe from 
him, and covered him with lackcloth, and fat in 
afhes. 

7 And he caufed it to be proclaimed and f pub- t Heb. saU. 
lifhed through Nineveh, by the decree of the king 

and his f nobles, faying, Let neither man nor beaft, ™*; 
herd nor flock, tafte any thing ; let them not feed, 
nor drink water ; 

8 But let man and beaft be covered with fackcloth, 
and cry mightily unto God ; yea, let them turn every- 
one from his evil way, and from the violence that is in 
their hands ; 

9 h Who can tell z/God will turn and repent, and bjoei3i 4 ; 
turn away from his fierce anger, that we peril h not ? 

10 H And God faw their works, that they turned 
from their evil way ; and God repented of the evil 
that he had faid that he would do unto them ; and he 
did it not, 

CHAP. IV. 

1 Jonahs repining at God's mercy, 4 is reproved by 
the type of a goiird, 

BUT it difpleafed Jonah exceedingly, and he was 
very angry, * 

2 And he prayed unto the Lord, and faid, I pray 
thee, O Lord, was not this my faying, when I was yet 

in my country ? Therefore I a fled before unto Tar- aaia P .r 3 ; 
fhilh : for I knew that thou art a b gracious God, and pf a *° n d ^ 4f '

3 Therefore now, O Lord, take, I befeech thee, my 
life from me : for it is better for me to die than to live. 

4 TT Then faid the Lord, (IDoeft thou well to be }Z'^Li, 
angry ?' . wy? 

5 So Jonah went out of the city, and fat on the 
eaft lide of the city, and there made him a booth, and 
fat under it in the fhadow, till he might fee what 
would become of the city. 

6 And the Lord God prepared a || f gourd, and made *lv«f.

The time of Micalfs prophesy : 2 he sheiveth God's

lamentation. 

THE word of the Lord that came to Micah the 
Moratthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and 
Hezekiah, kings of Judah,, which he faw concerning 
Samaria and Jerufalem^ 

2 II f Hear, all ye people ; a hearken, O earth, and 
f all that therein is" : and let the Lord God be witnefs 
againft you, the Lord from his holy temple. 

3 For, behold, b the Lord cometh forth out of his 
c place, and will come down, and tread upon the d high 
places of the earth. 

4 And the e mountains fliall be molten under him, 
and the valleys' fhall be cleft ; as wax before the lire, 
and as the waters that are poured down t a fteep place. 

5 For the tranlgremon of Jacob is all this, and for 
the fins of the houfe of IfraeL What is the tranfgref- 
fion of Jacob I is it not Samaria I and what are the 
high places of Judah I are they not Jerufalem ? 

6 Therefore I will make Samaria as an heap of the 
field, and as plantings of a vineyard ; and I will pour 
down the ftones thereof into the valley, and I will dif- 
eover the foundations thereof. 

7 And all the graven images thereof fliall be beaten 
to pieces, and all the hires thereof fhall be burnt with 
the fire, and all the idols thereof will I lay defolate : 
for f tie gathered it of the hire of an harlot, and they 
ihall return to the hire of an harlot. 

8 Therefore I will wail and howl ; I will go {trip- 
ped and naked : I will make a wailing like the drag- 
ons, and mourning as the f owls. 

9 For || her wound is incurable ; for it is come un- 
to Judah : he is come unto the gate of my people, 
ram to Jerufalem. 

10 If f Declare ye it not at Gath, weep ye not at all :

13 O thou inhabitant of Lachifh, bind the chariot

CHAP. III. 

1 The cruelty of the princes, 5 and the falsehood of the 
prophets reproved. 8 Their ill grounded security. 

AN D I laid, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, 
and ye princes of the houfe oflfrael; Is it not 
for you to know judgment ? 

2 Who hate the good and love the evil ; who pluck 
off their ikin from off them, and their flefh from oft 
their bones ; 

3 Who alfo eat the flefh of my people, and flay their 
Ikin from off them ; and they break their bones, and 
chop them in pieces as for the pot, and as fleih within 
the caldron. 

4 Then fhall they cry unto the Lord, but he will 
not hear them ; he will even hide his face from them 
at that time, as they have behaved themfcfves - hTTn 
their doings. 

5 II Thus faith the Lord concerning the prophets 
that make my people err, that a bite with their teeth, 
and cry, Peace : and he that putteth not into their 
mouths, they even prepare war againft him : 

6 Therefore night shall be unto you t that ye fhall 
not have a vilion ; and it ihall be dark unto you, f that 
ye fhall not divine : and the fun lhall go down over 
the prophets, a^d the day (hall be dark over them. 

7 Then (hall thefeers be afhamed, and the diviners 
confounded ; yea, they fhall all cover their f lips : for 
there is no anfwer of God. 

8 IT But truly I am full of power by the fpirit of the 
Lord, and of4juuagment, and of might, to declare unto 
Jacob his tranigrefiion, and to Ifrael his fin. 

9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the houfe of 
Jacob, and princes of the houfe oflfrael, that abhor 
judgment, and pervert all equity. 

10 They build up Zion with b f blood, and Jerufa- 
1 lem with iniquity. 

11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the 
priefts thereof teach for hire, and the prophets there- 
of divine for money ; yet will they lean upon the Lord, 
tand fay, Is not the Lord among us ? none evil can 
come upon us. 

12 Therefore fhall Zion, for your fake, be 'ploughed 
as a field, and Jerufalem fhall become heaps, and the 
mountain of the houfe as the high places of the forefl. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 The establishment of Christ' 's kingdom ; the peace of

i UT a in the laft days it fhall come to pafs, that the 
mountain of the houfe of the Lord fhall be eflab- 
liihed in the top of the mountains, and it fhall be ex- 
alted above the hills : and people fhall flow unto it. 

2 And many nations fhall come and fay, Come, 
and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and 
to the houfe of the God of Jacob ; and he will teach 
us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths : for the 
law fhall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord 
from Jerufalem. 

3 If And he fhall judge among many people, and 
rebuke ftrong nations afar off; and they fhall beat their 
fwords into b ploughfhares, and their fpears into || prun- 
ing hooks : nation fhall not lift up a fword againft 
nation, neither fhall they learn war any more. 

4 But they fhall fit every man under his vine, and

for the mouth of the Lord of hofls hath fpoken it. 

5 For all people will walk every one in the name of 
his god, and we will walk in the name of the Lord 
our God for ever and ever. 

6 *i In that day, faith the Lord, will c I affemble \f e & 
her thathalteth, and I will gather her that is driven 
out, and her that I have afihcled ; 

7 And I will make her that halted a remnant, and 
her that was cafl far off a ftrong nation ; and the Lord 
d fhall reign over them in mount Zion from hence- 
forth, even for ever. 

8 And thou, O tower of the Hock, the ftrong hold 
of the daughter of Zion, unto thee fhall.it come, even 
the firft dominion ; the kingdom fhall come to the 
daughter of Jerufalem. 

_ 9 Now, why doft thou cry out aloud ? is there no 
king in thee I is thy counfellor perifhed ? for pangs 
have taken thee as a woman in travail. 

10 Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O daugh- 
ter of Zion, like a woman in travail : for now fhalt 
thou go forth out of the city, and thou fhalt dwell in 
the field, and thou fhalt go even to Babylon : there 
lhalt thou be delivered ; there the Lord fhall redeem 
thee from the hand of thine enemies. 

11 H Now alfo many nations are gathered againft 
thee, that fay, Let her be defiled, and let our eye look 
upon Zion. 

12 But they know not the thoughts of the Lord, 
neither underftand they his counfel : for he ihall gather 
them as the fheaves into the floor. 

13 Arife, and threfh, O daughter of Zion : for I will 
make thine horn iron, and I will make thy hoofs brafs ; 
diid thou fhalt beat in pieces many people : and I will , 
confecrate their gain unto the Lord, and their fub- 
ftance unto the Lord of the whole earth. 

CHAP. V. 

1 The birth of Christ foretold : 4 his kingdom : 8 his 

complete conquest over his enemies. 

NOW gather thyfelf in troops, O daughter of

f 2 But thou, a Bethlehem, Ephratah, thoug/ithou be 
little among the thoufands of Judah, yet out of thee 
fhall he come forth unto me that is to be Ruler in 
Ifrael ; whole goings forth have been from of old, from

3 Therefore will he give them up, until the time e*7r««y-. 
that fhe which travaileth hath brought forth : then 

the remnant of his brethren ihall return unto the

4 II And he fhall ftand and |j feed in the ftrength of |br,r-»«.

5 And this man fhall be the peace, when the Af-

feven fhepherds, and eight f principal men. 

6 And they fhall f wafte the land of AfTyria with

2 || God is 3 jealous and the Lord revengeth ; the 
Loud revengeth, and Ms furious : the Lord will take 
vengeance on his adverfaries, and he referveth wrath 
for his enemies. 

3 The Lord is b flow to anger, and great in power, 
and will not at all acquit the wicked: the Lord hath 
his way in the whirlwind and in the florin, and the 
clouds are the duft of his feet. 

4 He rebuketh the fea, and maketh it dry, and 
drieth up all the rivers : Baihan languifheth and 
Carmel ; and the flower of Lebanon languifheth. 

5 The mountains quake at him, and the hills melt, 
and the earth is burnt at his prefence, yea, the world, 
and all that dwell therein. 

6 Who can Hand before his indignation I and who 
can f abide in the fiercenefs of his anger ? his fury is 
poured out like fire, and the rocks are thrown down 
by him. 

7 The Lord is good, a || ftrong hold in the day of 
trouble ; and he knoweth them that truft in him. 

8 But with an overrunning flood he will make an 
utter end of the place thereof, and darknefs fhall 
purfue his enemies. 

9 What do ye imagine againft the Lord ? he will 
make an utter end : affliction fhall not rife up the 
iecond time. 

10 For while they be folden together as thorns, and 
while they are drunken as drunkards, they fhall be

Unto Habakkuk, complaining of the iniquity of the 
land, 5 is shewed the fearful vengeance by the Chal- 
deans, &?<;. 

H E burden which Habakkuk the prophet did 

fee. 

2 O Lord, how long fhall I cry, and thou wilt not 
hear ! even cry out unto thee of violence, and thou 
wilt not fave ! 

3 \V hy doft thou fhew me iniquity, and caufe me to 
behold grievance ? for fpoiling and violence are before 
mc : and there are that raife up ftrife and contention. 

4 Therefore the law is flacked, and judgment doth 
never go forth : for the a wicked doth compafs about the 
righteous ; therefore || wrong judgment proceeded"). 

5 1f b Behold ye among the heathen, and regard, 
and wonder marvelloufly : for I will work a work in 
your days, which ye will not believe, though it be 
told you. 

6 For, lo, I raife up the Chaldeans, that bitter and 
hafty nation, which fhall march through the f breadth 
of the land, to poifefs the dwelling places that are not 
theirs. 

7 They arc terrible and dreadful : || their judgment 
and their dignity fliall proceed of themfelves. 

8 Their liorfes alfo are fwifter than the leopards, 
and are more f fierce than the c evening wolves : and 
their horfemen fliall fpread themfelves, and their horfe- 
men fhall come from far ; they fhall fly as the eagle 
that hafteth to eat. 

9 They fliall come all for violence ; H t their faces 
fhall f up up as the eaft wind, and they fhall gather the 
captivity as the fand. 



10 And they fliall feoff at the kings, and the princes 
shall be a fcorn unto them : they fliall deride every 
ftronghold ; for they fliall heap dlift, and take it. 

11 Then fhall his mind change, and he fliall pafs 
over, and offend, imputing this his power unto his 
god. 

12 ^ Art thou not from everlafting, O Lord my 
God, mine holy One ? we fhall not die. OLord, thou 
haft ordained them for judgment ; and, O f mighty 
God, thou haft f eftablifhed them for correction. 

13 Thou art of purer eyes than to behold evil, and f °"" Jed ' 
canft not look on || iniquity : wherefore lookeft thou „ r, 
upon them that deal treacheroufly, and holdeft thy snewma 
tongue^ when the wicked devourcth the man that is 
more righteous than he ? 

14 And makeft men as the fifhes of the fea, as the 
II creeping things, that have no ruler over them ? 

15 They take up all of them with the angle, they 
catch them in their net, and gather them in their || drag; 
therefore they rejoice and are glad. 

16 Therefore they facrifice unto their net, and burn 
incenfe unto their drag ; becaufe by them their portion 
is fat, and their meat || f plenteous. 

17 bliau they, therefore, empty their net, and not tha./* 
fpare continually to flav the nations ?

A PRAYER of Habakkuk the prophet || upon 
Shigionoth. 
2 OLord, I have heardf thy fpeech, andwas afraid : 
O Lord, || revive thy work in the midft of the years, 
in the midft of the years make known ; in wrath re- 
member mercy. 

3 II God came from || Teman, and the holy One from 
mount Paran. Selah. His glory covered the heavens, 
and the earth was full of his praife. 

4 And his brightnefs was as the light ; he had || horns 
coming out of his hand : and there was the hiding of 
his power. 

5 Before him went the peftilence, and || burning 
coals went forth at his feet. 

6 He ftood and meafured the earth ; he beheld, and 
drove afunder the nations ; and the everlafting moun- 
tains were fcattered, the perpetual hills did bow : his 
ways arc everlafting. 

7 I faw the tents of || Cufhan |] in affliction ; andihtt 
curtains of the land of Midian did tremble. 

8 Was the Lord difpleafed againfc the rivers ? was 
thine anger againit the rivers ? was thy wrath -againft 
the fea, that thou didft ride upon thine horfes, and\\ thy 
chariots of falvation I 

9 Thy bow was made quite naked, according to the 
oaths of the tribes, even thy word. Selah. || Thou 
didft cleave the earth with rivers. 

10 The mountains faw thee, and they trembled ; 
the overflowing of the water pa fled by : the deep ut- 
tered his voice, and lifted up his hands on high. 

11 a The fun and moon itood ftill in their habita- 
tion ; || at the light of thine b - arrows' they went, andaX. 
the fhining of thy glittering fpear. 

12 Thou didft march through the land in indigna- 
tion, thou didft threfh the heathen in anger. 

13 Thou wenteit forth for the falvation of thy people, 
even'for falvation with thine anointed r thou wound- 
edit the head out of the houfe of the wicked, by f dif- 
covering the foundation unto the neck. Selah. 

14 Thou didft ftrike through with his ftaves the 
head of his villages ; they f came out as a whirlwind 
to fcatter me : their rejoicing was as to devour the 
poor fccretly. 

15 Thou didft walk through the fea with thine 
horfts, through the || heap of great waters. 

16 When I heard, my belly trembled; my lips quiv- 
ered at the voice : rottemufs entered into my bones, 
and I trembled in myfelf, that I might reft in the day 
of trouble : when he cometh up unto the people he 
will || invade them with his troops. 

17 H Although the fig tree fhall not bloflom, nei- 
ther shell fruit be in the vines ; the labour of the olive 
ihall f fail, and the field fhall yield no meat ; the flock 
fhall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd 
in the ftalls. 

18 Yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will joy in the 
God of my falvation. 

19 The Lord God is my ftrength, and he will 
make my feet like c hinds' feet, and he will make me 
to walk upon mine high places. To the chief finger

I The time when Zephaniah prophesied. 2 God's se- 
vere judgment against Judah for divers sins. 

HE word of the Lord which .came unto Zepha" 
niah the fon of Cufhi, the ion of Gedaliah, the 
fon of Amariah, the fon of Hizkiah, in the days of 
Jonah, the fon of Amonking of Judah. 

2 IT 1 1 will utterly confume all things from offt the 
land, faith the Lord. 

3 I will confume man and bead, I will confume the 
fowls of the heaven, and the fifties of the fea, and the 

II Humbling blocks with the wicked ; and I will cut off 
man from off the land, faith the Lord. 

4 I will alio flretch out mine hand upon Judah, and 
upon all the inhabitants of Jerufalem ; and I will cut 
off the remnant of Baal from this place, and the name 
of the Chemarims with the priefls ; 

5 And them that worihip the hoft_ of heaven upon 
the houfetops ; and them that worihip and that fwear 
|| by the Lord, and that fwear by Malcham ; 

6 And them that are turned back from the Lord ; 
and those that have not fought the Lord, nor inquired 
for him. 

7 Hold thy peace at the prefence of the Lord God ; 
for the day of the Lord is at hand : for the Lord 
hath prepared a facrifice, he hath t bid his gueils. 

8 And it fhall come to pafs in the day of the Lord's 
facrifice, that I will fpunhh the princes, and the king's 
chi Id ren , and all such as are clothed with ftrange apparel . 

9 In the fame day alio will I punifn all thofe that 
leap on the threfhold, which fill their mailer's houfes 
with violence and deceit. 

10 And it fhall come to pafs in that day, faith the 
Lord, that there shall be the noife of a cry from the 
(Uh gate, and an howling from the fecond, and a great 
entitling from the hills. 

11 Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktefh, for all the 
merchant peonle are cut down ; all they that bear fii- 
ver arc cut of:. 

12 And it fhall come to pafs at that time, that I will 
(larch Jerufalem with candles, and punifh the men 
that are f fettled on their lees ; that fay in their heart. 
The Lor d will not do good, neither will he do evil. 

] 3 Therefore their goods fhall become a booty, and 
their houfes a defolation : they (hall alfo build houfes, 
but ;l not inhabit them ; and they fhall plant vineyards, 
but not drink the wine thereof. 

14 The great clay of tlie Lord is near, it is near, 
and hafteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the 
Lord, the mighty man (hall cry there bitterly. 

15 b That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble 
ami diftrefs, a day of waftenefs and defolation, a day 
of darknefs and gloominefs, a day of clouds and thick 
darknefs, 

15" A day of the trumpet and alarm againfl the 
fenced cities, and againfl the high towers. 

17 And I will bring diftrefs upon men, that they 
fhall walk like blind men, becaufe they have finned 
againft the Lord : and their blood fhall be poured 
out ns duft, and their fleih as the dung. 

18 « Neither their filver nor their gold (hall be able 
to deliver them in the day of the Lord's wrath ; but 
the whole land ihall be d devoured by the fire of his

and to rejoice for their salvation by God. 

OE to her that is || f filthy and polluted, to 
the opprefling city ! 

2 _ She obeyed not the voice ; (lie received not II cor- 
rection ; fhe trufted not in the Lord ; fhe drew not 
near to her God. 

3 : ' Her princes within her are roaring lions : her 
judges are evening wolves ; they gnaw not the bones 
till the morrow. 

4 Her b prophets are light and treacherous perfons ; 
her priefts have polluted the ianctuary, they have 
done e violence to the law. 

5 The jiift Lord is in the miclll thereof; he will 
not do iniquity: \ every morning cloth he bring his 
judgment to light, he faileth not ; but the unjuft know- 
eth no ihame, 

6 I have cut off the nations : their [[ towers are def- 
olate ; I made their ftreets wade, that none paffeth 
by ; their cities are deftroyed, fo that there is no man, 
that there is none inhabitant. 

7 I laid, Surely tlxni wilt fear me ; thou wilt re- 
ceive inftruclion : fo their dwelling fhould not be cut 
off, howfoever I punifhed them ; but they rofe early, 
and corrupted all their doings. 

8 H Therefore wait ye upon me, faith the Lord, 
until the day that I rife up to the prey ; for my deter- 
mination is to gather the nations, that I may affembie 
the kingdoms, to pour upon them mine indignation, 
even all my fierce anger : for all the earth A fhall be 
devoured with the fire of my jealoufy.

1 He promiseth greater glory to the second temple than 
was in the first : 10 their sins hindered the work. 
' N the feventh month, in the one and twentieth day 
of the month, came the word of the Lord | by 
the prophet Haggai, faying, 

2 Speak now to Zerubbabel the fon of Shealtiel, gov- 
ernor of Judah, and to Jolhua the fon of Jofedech the 
high prieft, and to the relidue of the people, faying, 

3 Who is left among you that faw this houfe in her 
firft glory ? and how do ye fee it now ? is it not in your 
eyes in comparifon of it as nothing ? 

4 Yet now be ftrong, O Zerubbabel, faith the 
Lord ; and be ftrong O Jolhua, fon of Jofedech the 
high prieft ; and be ftrong, all ye people of the land, 
faith the Lord, and work : for I am with you, faith 
the Lord of hofts. 

5 According to the word that I covenanted with you 
when ye came out of Egypt, fo my fpirit remaineth 
among you : fear ye not. 

6 For thus faith the Lord of hofts, *Yet once, it 
is a little while, and I will fhake the heavens, and the 
earth, and the lea, and the dry land i 

7 And I will fhake all nations, and the Deftre of all 
nations (hall come ; and I will fill this houfe with glory, 
faith the Lo r d of hofts. 

8 The filver is mine, and the gold is mine, faith the 
Lord of hofts. 

9 The glory of this latter houfe fnall be greater than 
of the former, faith the Lord of hofts : and in this 
place will I give peace, faith the Lord of hofts. 

10 If In the four and twentieth day of the ninth 
month, in the feeond year of Darius, came the word 
of the Lord by Haggai the prophet, faying, 

11 Thus faith the Lord of hofts, Afk now the 
priefts concerning the law, faying, 

12 If one bear holy flefli in the fkirt of his garment, 



or oil, or any meat, fhall it be holy ? And the priefts 
anfwered, and laid, No. 

13 Then laid Haggai, If one that is unclean by a 
dead body touch any of thefe, fhall it be unclean ? 
And the priefts anfwered and faid, It fhall be unclean. 

14 Then anfwered Haggai and faid, So is this peo- 
ple, and fo is this nation before me, faith the Lord ; 
and fo is every work of their hands ; and that which 
they offer there, is unclean. 

15 And now, I pray you, confider from this day 
and upward, from before a ftone was laid upon aftone 
in the temple of the Lord : 

16 Since thofe days were, when one came to an 
heap of twenty measures, there were but ten : when 
one came to the prefs fat for to draw out fifty vessels : 
out of the prefs, there were but twenty. 

17 If h I fmote you with blafting, and with mildew, 
and with hail, in all the labours of your hands ; yet 
ye turned not to me, faith the Lord. 

18 Confider now from this day and upward, from 
the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even 
from the day that the foundation of the Lord's tern- 
pie was laid, confider it. 

19 Is the feed yet in the barn ? yea, as yet the vine, 
and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive 
tree, hath not brought forth • from this day will I 
blefs you. 

20 If And again the Word of the Lord came unto 
Haggai, in the four and twentieth day of the month, 
faying, 

21 Speak to Zerubbabel governor of Judah, faying, 
I will fhake the heavens and the earth ; 

22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, 
and I will deftroy the ftrength of the kingdoms of 
the heathen ; and I will overthrow the chariots, and 
thofe that ride in them ; and the horfes and their 
riders fhall come down, every one by the fvvord of 
his brother, 

23 In that day, faith the Lord of hofts, will I take 
thee, O Zerubbabel my fervant, the fon of Shealtiel, 
faith the Lord, and will make thee as a fignet : for 
I have chofen thee, faith the Lord of hofts.

2 And he laid unto me, What feelt thou ? And 
I anfwered, I fee a flying roll ; the length thereof is 
twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof ten cubits. 

3 Then faid he unto me, This is the curfe that go-

from between two mountains ; and the mountains 
were mountains of brafs.

fourth chariot grilled and || bay horfes. \

talked with me, What are thefe, my lord ? 

5 And the angel anfwered, and faid unto me, Thefe 
are the four II fpirits of the heavens, which go forth 
from ftanding before the Lord of all the earth. 

6 The black horfes which are therein, go forth into 
the north country ; and the white go forth after them ; 
and the grilled go forth toward the fouth country. 

7 And the bay went forth, and fought to go, that 
they might walk to and fro through the earth : and he 
faid, Get ye hence, walk to and fro through the earth. 
So they walked to and fro through the earth. 

8 Then cried he upon me, and fpake unto me, 
faying, Behold, thefe that go toward the north coun-

The restoration of Jerusalem. 

C H A P. VII. 

The J civs inquire concerning the set fasts : 4 Zecha- 
riah reproveth their hypocrisy, 8 They are exhorted 
to repentance. 

N D it came to pafs, in the fourth year of king 
Darius, that the word of the Lord came unto 
Zechariah, in the fourth day of the ninth month, even 
in Chifleu, 

2 When they had fent unto thehoufe of God Sher- 
ezar and Regemmelech, and their men, f to pray 
before the Lord. 

3 And to {peak unto the priefts which were in the 
houfe of the Lord of hofts, and to the prophets, 
faying, Should I weep in the fifth month, flparating 
myfelf, as I have done thefe fo many years ? 

4 If Then came the word of the Lord of hofts unto 
me, faying, 

5 Speak unto all the people cf the land, and to the 
priefts, faying, When ye a failed and mourned in the 
fifth and feventh month, even thole feventy years, did 
ye at ail fail unto me,_ even to me ? 

6 And when ye did eat, and when ye did drink, 
|| did not ye ear/or yourselves , and drink for yourselves ? 

7 |i Should ye not hear the words which the Lord 
..6!, Are no/ hath cried f by the former prophets, when Jerufalem 

was inhabited and in profperity, and the cities thereof 
round about her, when men inhabited the fouth and 
the plain ? 

8 %. And the word of the Lord came unto Zecha- 
riah, faying, 

9 Thus fpeaketh the Lord of hofts, faying, f Exe- 
cute true judgment, and lhew mercy and companion, 
every man to his brother. 

10 And b opprefs not the widow, nor the fatherlefs, 
the ftranger, nor the poor ; and let none of you imag- 
ine evil againft his brother in your heart. 

11 Bat they refufed to hearken, and f pulled away 
the moulder, and t flopped their ears, that they Ihould 
not hear. 

12 Yea, they made their hearts as an adamant (tone, 
left they ihould hear the law, and the words which the 
Lord of hofts hath fent in his Spirit | by the former 
prophets : therefore came a great wrath from the 
Lord of hofts : 

15 Therefore it is come to pafs, that as he cried, 
and they would not hear : fo ° they cried, and I would 
not hear, faith the Lord of hofts. 

14 But I fcattered them with a whirlwind among ail 
the nations whom they knew not. Thus the land was 
defolate after them, that no man paffed through nor 
returned : for they laid the f pleafant land defolate. 

C H A P. VIII. 
1 The restoration of Jerusalem. 9 The people encourag- 
ed to build the temple by a promise of God's blessing. 
16 Truth and justice required of them. 18 Joy and 
enlargement of the church promised. 

AGAIN the word of the Lord of hofts, came 
to me, faying, 
2 Thus faith the Lord of hofts, a I was jealous for 
Zion with great jealoufy, and I was jealous for her 
with great fury. 

5 Thus faith the Lord, I am returned unto Zion, 
and will dwell in the midft of Jerufalem ; and Jeruf \-

tain of the Lord of hofts, The holy mountain.

4 Thus faith the Lord of hofts, There fhall yet old 
men and old women dwell in the ftreets of jerufalem, 
and every man with his ftafFin his hand f for very age. 

5 And the ftreets of the city fhall be full of boys 
and girls playing in the ftreets thereof. 

6 Thus faith the Lord of hofts, If it be || marvel- 
lous in the eyes of the remnant of this people in thefe 



t Heb. for

days.

7 Thus faith the Lord of hofts, Behold, I will fave 
my people from theeaft country, and from f the weft 
country ; 

8 And I will bring them, and they fhall dwell in 
the midft of Jerufalem ; and they fhall be rny people, 
and I will be their God, in truth and in righteoufnefs. 

9 If Thus faith the Lord of hofts, Let your hands 
be ftrong, ye that hear in thefe days thefe words by 
the mouth of the prophets, which were in the day that 
the foundation of the houfe of the Lord cf hofts was 
laid, that the temple might be built. 

10 For before thefe days || there was no h hire for 
man, nor any hire for beaft ; neither was there any peace 
to him that went out or came in, becaufe of the afflic- 
tion : for I fet all men every one againft his neighbour. 

11 But now I will not be unto the reiidue of this 
people as in the former days, faith the Lord of hofts. 

12 For the feed shall be f prosperous ; the vine fhall 
give her fruit, and the ground fhall give her increafe, 
and the heavens fhall give their clew ; and I will caufe 
the remnant of this people to poffefs all thefe things. 

13 And it fhall come to pafs, that as ye were a 
curfe among the heathen, O houfe of Judah and houfe 
of Ifrael ; fo will I fave you, and ye fhall be a bleiiing ; 
fear not, but let your hands be ftrong. 

14 For thus faith the Lord of hofts, As I thought 
to punifh you, when your fathers provoked me to 
wrath, faith the Lord of hofts, and I repented not ; 

15 So again have I thought in thefe days to do well 
unto Jerufalem, and to the houfe of Judah: fear ye not. 

16 If Thefe are the things that ye fhall do, c Speak 
ye every man the truth to his neighbour ; f execute 
the judgment of truth and peace in your gates : 

17 And let none of you imagine evil in your hearts 
againft his neighbour ; and love no falfe oath : for all 
thefe are things that I hate, faith the Lord* 

18 Tf And the word of the Lord of hofts came unto 
me, faying, 

_ 19 Thus faith tire Lord of hofts, The fall of the 
fourth month, and the tail of the fifth, and the fall of 
the feventh, and the mil of the tenth, fhall be to the 
houfe of Judah joy andgladnefs, and cheerful || feafts : 
therefore love the truth and peace. 

20 Thus faith the Lord of hofts, It shall yet come 
to pass, that there fhall come people, and the inhabit- 
ants of many cities : 

21 And tire inhabitants of one city fhall go to another, 
faying, d Let us go || f fpeedily f to pray before the 
Lord; and to feek the Lord of hofts ; 1 will go alfo. 

22 Yea, many people and ftrong nations fhall come 
to feek the Lord of hofts in Jerufalem, and to pray 
before the Lord. 

23 Thus faith the Lord of hofts, In thofedaysz* 
shall come to pass, that ten men fhall take hold out of 
all language s of the nations, even fhall take holdof 
the fktrt oi tim that is a Jew, faying , We will go with 
you ; for -\ have heard that. God is with yon.

11 For from the rifing of the fun, even unto the

8 Bat ye are departed out of the way; ye have

10 II b Have we not all one father ? hath not one God 
created us ? why do we deal treacheroufly, every man 
againft his brother, by profaning the covenant of our 
fathers ? 

11 Judah hath dealt treacheroufly, and an abomi- 
nation is committed in Ifrael and in Jerufalem : for Ju- 
dah hath profaned the holinefs of the Lord which he 
ll loved, and hath married the daughter of a ftrange god. 

12 The Lord will cut off the man that doeth this, 
|| the mafter and the fcholar, out of the tabernacles of 
Jacob, and him that offereth an offering unto the 
Lord ofhofts. 

13 II And this have ye done again, covering the altar 
of the Lord with tears, with weeping, and with cry- 
ing out, infomuch that he regardeth not the offering 
any more, or receiveth it with good will at your hand. 

14 Yet ye fay, Wherefore ? Becaufe the Lord 
hath been witnefs between thee and the wife of thy 
youth, againft whom thou haft dealt treacheroufly : 
yet is fhe thy companion, and the wife of thy cove- 
nant. 

15 And did not he make one ? Yet had he the || ref- 
idue of the Spirit. And wherefore one ? That he 
might feek t a godly feed. Therefore take heed to f fct 
3'our fpirit, and let none deal || treacheroufly againft 
the wife of iiis youth. 

16 For the Lord, the God of Ifrael, faith, || that he 
hateth f putting away : for one covereth violence with 
his garment, faith the Lord of hofts 
heed to your fpirit, that ye deal not treacheroufly. 

17 H Ye have wearied the Lord with your words : 
yet ye fay, Wherein have we wearied hipi ? When ye 
fay, Every one that doeth evil is good in the light of 
the Lord, and he delighteth in them ; or, Where is 
the God of judgment ?

I Jofias caufeth a folemn pajfover to be kept. 34 His fuccejf- 
ors unto Zedechias, when Jerufalem^ &c. was deftroyed. 

AN D Jofias a held the feaft of the paffover in Jeru- 
falem unto his Lord, and offered the paffover the 
fourteenth day of the firft month ; 

2 Having fet the priefts according to their daily courfes, 
being arrayed in long garments, in the temple of the Lord. 

3 And he fpake unto the Levites, the holy minifters of 
Ifrael, that they fliould hallow themfelves unto the Lord, 
to fet the holy ark of the Lord in the houfe that king 
Solomon the^fon of David had built ; 

4 And/aid, Ye fhall no more bear the ark upon your 
flioulders : now therefore, ferve the Lord your God, and 
minifter unto his people Ifrael, and prepare you after your 
families and kindreds, 

5 According as David the king of Ifrael prefcribed, and 
according to the magnificence of Solomon his fon ; and, 
ftanding in the temple according to the feveral dignity of 
the families of you the Levites, who minifter in the pres- 
ence of your brethren the children of Ifrael, 

6 Offer the paffover in order, and make ready the facri- 
fices for your brethren, and keep the paffover according to 
the commandment of theLord, which was given untoMofes.. 

7 And unto the people that wa*s found there, Jofias 
gave thirty thoufand lambs and kids, and three thoufand 
calves : thefe things were given of the king's allowance, 
according as he promifed, to the people, to the priefts, 
and to the Levites. 

8 And Helkias, Zacharias, and || Syelus, the governors 
of the temple, gave to the priefts for the paffover, two 
thoufand and fix hundred fheep, and three hundred calves. 

9 And Jeconias, and Samaias, and Nathanael his bro- 
ther, and Affabias, and Ochiel, and Joram, captains over 
thoufands, gave to the Levites for the paffover, five thou- 
fand fhesp, and || feven hundred calves. 

10 And when thefe things were done, the priefts and 
Levites, having the unleavened bread, ftood in very comely 
order according to the kindreds, 

1 1 And according to the feveral dignities of the fathers, 
before the people, to offer to the Lord, as it is written in 
the book of Mofes : b and thus did they in the morning. 

12 And they roafted the paffover with fire, as apper- 
taineth : as for the Sacrifices, they fod them in brafs pots 
and pans, || with a good favour, 

13 And fet them before all the people : and afterward 
they prepared for themfelves, and for the priefts their 
brethren, the fons of Aaron. 

14 For the priefts offered the fat until night : and the 
Levites prepared for themfelves, and the priefts their 
brethren, the fons of Aaron. 

1 5 The holy fingers alfo, the fons of Afaph, were in 
their order according to the appointment c of" David, to. 
wit, Afaph, Zacharias, and Jeduthun, who was (l of the 
king's retinue. 

Kmg'j far. « 



16 Moreover, the porters were at every gate ; it was 
not lawful for any to go from his ordinary fervice : for 
their brethren the Levites prepared for them. 

1 7 Thus were the things that belonged to the facrifices 
of the Lord accomplifhed in that day, that they might 
hold the paffover, 

1 8 And offer facrifices upon the altar of the Lord ac- 
cording to the commandment of king Jofias. 

19 So the children of Ifrael, which were prefent, held 
the paffover at that time, and the feaft of fweet bread, 
feven days. 

20 And fuch a paffover was not kept in Ifrael, fince the 
time of the prophet Samuel. 

2 1 Yea, all the kings of Ifrael held not fuch a paffover as 
Jofias, and the priefts, and the Levites, and the Jews, held 
with all Ifrael that were found dwelling at Jerusalem. 

22 In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jofias was 
this paffover kept. 

23 And the works of Jofias were upright before his 
Lord, with an heart full of godlinefs. 

24 As for the things that came to pafs in his time, 
they were written in former times, concerning thofe that 
finned, and || did wickedly againft the Lord above all peo- 
ple and kingdoms, and how they grieved him || exceeding- 
ly, So that the words of the Lord rofe up againft Ifrael. 

25 f e Now, after all thefe adls of Jofias, it came to pafs, 
that Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, came to raife war at Car- 
chamis upon Euphrates ; and Jofias went out againft him. 

26 But the king of Egypt fent to him, faying, What 
have I to do with thee, O king of Judea ? 

27 I am not fent out from the Lord God, againft thee ; 
for my war is upon Euphrates ; and now the Lord is with 
me, yea, the Lord is with me, hafting me forward : depart 
from me, and be not againft the Lord. 

28 Howbeit, Jofias did not turn back his chariot from him, 
but undertook to fight with him, not regarding the words 
of the prophet Jeremy, fpoken by the mouth of the Lord : 

29 But joined battle with him in the plain of Megiddo, 
and the princes came againft king Jofias. 

30 Then faid the king unto his Servants, Carry me 
away out of the battle ; for I am very weak : and imme- 
diately his fervants took him away out of the battle. 

3 1 Then gat he up upon his fecond chariot ; and be- 
ing brought back to JeruSalem, died, and was buried in 
his father's fepulchre. 

32 And in all Jewry they mourned for Jofias ; yea, 
Jeremy the prophet lamented for Jofias, and the chief 
men, with the women, made lamentation for him unto 
this day : and this was given out for an ordinance to be 
done continually in all the nation of Ifrael. 

33 Thefe things are written in the book of the ftories 
of the kings of Judah ; and every one of the afts that 
Jofias did, and his glory, and his underftanding in the 
law of the Lord, and the things that he had done before, 
and the things now recited, are reported in the book of 
the kings of Ifrael and Judea.

34 f f And the people took Joachaz' the fon of Jofias, 
and made him king inftead of jofias his father, when he 
was twenty and three years old. 

35 And he reigned in Judea and in Jerufalem three 
months ; and then the king of Egypt depofed him from 
reigning in Jerufalem. 

36 And he fet a tax upon the land of an hundred tal- 
ents of filver, and one talent of gold. 

37 The king of Egypt alfo made king Joacim his bro- 
ther king of Judea and Jerufalem. 

38 And he bound Joacim and the nobles : but Zaraces 
his brother he apprehended, and brought him out of Egypt. 

39 Five and twenty years old was s Joacim when he 
was made king in the land of Judea and Jerufalem, and 
he did evil before the Lord. 

40 Wherefore againft him Nabuchodonofor the king 
of Babylon came up, and bound him with a chain of brafs, 
and carried him unto Babylon. 

4 1 Nabuchodonofor alio took of the holy veffels of 
the Lord, and carried them away, and fet them in his 
own temple at Babylon. 

42 But thofe things that are recorded of him, and of 
his uncleannefs and impiety, are written in the Chronicles 
of the kings. 

43 And Joacim his fon reigned in his ftead : he was 
made king, being eighteen years old ; 

44 And reigned but three months and ten days in Je- 
rufalem, and did evil before the Lord. 

45 So after a year Nabuchodonofor fent, and caufed 
him to be brought into Babylon, with the holy veffels of 
the Lord ; 

46 And made Zedechias king of Judea and Jerufalem, 
when he was one and twenty years old ; and he reigned 
eleven years : 

47 And he did evil alfo in the fight of the Lord, and 
cared not for the words that were fpoken unto him by the 
prophet Jeremy from the mouth of the Lord. 

48 And after that king Nabuchodonofor had made 
him to fwear by the name of the Lord, he forfwore him- 
felfj and rebelled ; and, hardening his neck and his heart, 
lie tranfgreffed the laws of the Lord God of Ifrael. 

49 The governors alfo of the people and of the priefts 
did many things againfl: the laws, and paffed all the pollu- 
tions of all nations, and defiled the temple of the Lord, 
which was fan&ified in Jerufalem. 

50 Neverthelefs, the God of their fathers fent by his 
meffengers to call them back, becaufe he fpared them, 
and his tabernacle alfo. 

5 1 But they had his meffengers in derifion ; and look, 
when the Lord fpake unto them, they made a fport of his 
prophets : 

52 So far forth, that he, being wroth with his people 
for their great ungodiinefs, commanded the kings of the 
Chaldees to come up againft them ; 

53 Who flew their young men with the fvvord, yea, 
even within the compafs of their holy temple, and fpared 
neither young man nor maid, old man nor child, among 
them : for he delivered all into their hands. 

54 And they took all the holy veffels of the Lord, both 
great and fmaii, with the veffels of the ark of God, and the 
king's treafures, and carried them away into Babylon. 

55 A r s for the houfe of the Lord, they burnt it, brake 
down the walls of Jerufalem, and fet fire upon her towers •, 

56 And as for her glorious things, they never ceafed 
till they had confumed and brought them all to nought :

CHAP. II. 

1 Cyrus' proclamation to build a temple : 1 o he reftoreth the 
holy veffels. 16 Artaxerxes Jloppeth the building. 

IN the a firft year of Cyrus king of the Perfians, that 
the word of the Lord might be accomplifhed, that he 
had promifed by the mouth of Jeremy ; 

2 The Lord raifed up the fpirit of Cyrus the king of 
the Perfians, and he made proclamation through all his 
kingdom, and alfo by writing, 

3 Saying, Thus faith Cyrus king of the Perfians, the 
Lord of Ifrael, the moft high Lord, hath made me king 
of the whole world, 

4 And commanded me to build him an howfe at Jeru- 
falem in Jewry. 

5 If therefore there be any of you that are of his peo- 
ple, let the Lord, even his Lord, be with him, and let 
him go up to Jerufalem that is in Judea, and build the 
houfe of the Lord of Ifrael : for |] he is the Lord that 
dwelleth in Jerufalem. 

6 Whofoever then dwell in the places about, let them 
help him (thofe, I fay, that are his neighbours) with gold, 
and with filver, 

7 With gifts, with horfes, and with cattle, and other 
things, which have been fet forth by vow, for the tem- 
ple of the Lord at Jerufalem. 

8 if Then the chief of the families of Judea, and of the 
tribe of Benjamin, ftood up : the priefts alfo and the Le- 
vites, and all they whofe mind the Lord had moved to go 
up, and to build an houfe for the Lord at Jerufalem, 

9 And they that dwelt round about them, and helped 
them in all things with filver and gold, with f horfes and 
cattle, and with very many free gifts of a great number, 
whofe minds were ftirred up thereto. 

10 if King Cyrus alfo brought forth the holy veffels 
which Nabuchodonofor had carried away from Jerufalem, 
and had fet up in his temple of idols. 

1 1 Now, when Cyrus king of the Perfians had brought 
them forth, he delivered them to Mithridates his treafurer: 

1 2 And by him they were delivered to f Sanabaffar 
the governor of Judea. 

13 And this was the number of them, A thoufand 
golden cups, and a thoufand of filver, f cenfers of filver w°«i s°mg 
twenty nine, vials of gold thirty, and of filver b two thou- Ezra 1 8. 
fand four hundred and ten, and a thoufand other veffels. 

14 So all the veffels of gold and of filver, which were 
carried away, were c five thoufand four hundred three 
fcore and nine. 

15 Thefe were brought back by Sanabaffar, together 
with them of the captivity, from Babylon to Jerufalem.

Darius maketh a great feaji. CHAP. 

1 7 To king Artaxerxes our lord, Thy fervants Rathu- 
mus the ftory writer, and Semellius the fcribe, and the 
reft of their council, and the judges that are in Celofyria 
and Phenice : 

1 8 Be it now known to the lord, the king, that the 
Jews that are come up from you to us, being come into 
Jerufalem, that rebellious and wicked city, do build the 
market places, and repair the walls of it, and do lay the 
foundation of the temple. 

19 Now, if this city and the walls thereof be made up 
again, they will not only refufe to give tribute, but alio 
rebel againft kings. 

20 And forafmuch as the things pertaining to the tem- 
ple are now in hand, we think it meet not to neglect fuch 
a matter. 

21 But to fpeak unto our lord the king, to the intent 
that, if it be thy pleafore, it may be fought out in the 
books of thy fathers : 

22 And thou fhalt find in the Chronicles what is writ- 
ten concerning thefe things, and fhalt underftand that 
that city was rebellious, troubling both kings and cities : 

23 And that the Jews were rebellious, and raifed al- 
ways wars therein ; for the which caufe even this city 
was made defolate. 

24 Wherefore, now we do declare unto thee, O lord, 
the king, that if this city be built again, and the walls 
thereof fet up anew, thou fhalt from henceforth have no 
paffage into Celofyria and Phenice. ■ 

25 Then the king wrote back again to Rathumus the 
ftory writer, to Beeltethmus, to Semellius the fcribe, and 
to the reft that were in commifiion, and dwellers in Sa- 
maria, and Syria, and Phenice, after this manner : 

26 I have read the epiftle which ye have fent unto me : 
•therefore I commanded to make diligent fearch, and it 
hath been found, that that city was from the beginning 
praclifmg againft kings. 

27 And the men therein were given to rebellion and 
war ; and that mighty kings and fierce were in Jerufalem, 
who reigned and exacted tributes in Celofyria and Phenice. 

28 Now therefore, I have commanded to hinder thofe 
men from building the city, and heed to be taken that 
there be no more done in it ; 

29 And that thofe wicked workers proceed no further 
to the annoyance of kings. 

30 Then king Artaxerxes his letters being read, Ra- 
thumus, and Semellius the fcribe, and the reft that were 
in commiffion with them, removing in hafte toward Jeru- 
falem with a troop of horfemen, and || a multitude of 
people in battle array, began to hinder the builders ; and 
the building of the temple in Jerufalem ceafed until the 
fecond year of the reign of Darius king of the Perfians. 

CHAP. III. 

I Darius maketh a great feaf. 4 Three young men of his 
guard contend in wife fpeeches : 13 the king and princes 
Jit in judgment upon them. 18 The firjl declare th the 
Jlrength ofiuine. 

NOW, when Darius reigned, he made a great feaft 
unto all his fubjects, and unto all his houfehold, 
and unto all the princes of Media and Perfia, 

2 And to all the governors, and captains, and lieuten- 
ants, that were under him from India unto Ethiopia, of 
an hundred twenty and feven provinces. 

3 And when they had eaten and drunken, and, being 
futisfied, were gone home, then Darius the king went

into his bed chamber and flept ; and foon after awaked. C hrist 

4 ^1 Then three young men, that were of the guard 
that kept the king's body, fpake one to another ; 

5 Let every one of us fpeak a fentence : he that fhall 
overcome, and whofe fentence fhall feem wifer than the 
others, unto him fhall the king Darius give great gifts, 
and great things, in token of victory : 

6 As, to be clothed in purple, to drink in gold, and to 
fleep upon gold, and a chariot with bridles of gold, and 
an headtire of fine linen, and a chain about his neck : 

7 And he fhall fit next to Darius, becaufe of his wit 
dom, and fhall be called Darius his coufin. 

8 And then every one wrote his fentence, fealed it, 
and laid it under king Darius his pillow, 

9 And faid, that, when the king is rifen, fome will 
give him the writings ; and of whofe fide the king and 
the three princes of Perfia fhall judge that his fentence is 
the wifeft, to him fhall the victory be given, as was ap- 
pointed. 

1 o The firft wrote, Wine is the ftrongeft. 
1 1 The fecond wrote, The king is the ftrongeft. 
1 2. The third wrote, Women are ftrongeft ; but, above 

all things, truth beareth away the victory. 

13 «jj Now when the king was rifen up, they took their 
writings, and delivered them unto him, and fo he read 
them : 

14 And fending forth, he called all the princes of 
Perfia and Media, and the governors, and the captains, 
and the lieutenants, and the chief officers •, 

15 And fat him down in the || royal feat of judgment 5 
and the writings were read before them. 

16 And he faid, Call the young men, and they fhall 
declare their own fentences. So they were called, and 
came in. 

1 7 And he faid unto them, Declare unto us your mind 
concerning the writings. Then began the firft, who had 
fpoken of the ftrength of wine 5 

1 8 *[f And he faid thus, O ye men, how exceeding 
ftrong is wine ! it caufeth all men to err that drink it : 

19 It maketh the mind of the king and of the father- 
lefs child to be all one ; of the bondman and of the free- 
man, of the poor man and of the rich : 

20 It turneth alfo every thought into jollity and mirth, 
fo that a man remembereth neither forrow nor debt : 

21 And it maketh every heart rich, fo that a man 
remembereth neither king nor governor •, and it maketh 
to fpeak all things by talents : 

22 And when they are in their cups, they forget their 
love both to friends and brethren, and a little after draw 
out fwords : 

23 But when they are from the wine, they remember 
not what they have done. 

24 O ye men, is not wine the ftrongeft, that enforceth 
to do thus ? And when he had fo fpoken he held his peace. 

CHAP. IV.

THEN the fecond, that had fpoken of the ftrength 
of the king, began to fay, 

2 O ye men, do not men excel in ftrength, (hat || bear II 

rule over fea and land, and all things in them ? c<mmu>idi 

3 But yet the king is more mighty : for he is lord of 
all thefe things, and hath dominion over them ; and

4 If he bid them make war the one againft the other, 
they do it : if he fend them out againft the enemies, they 
go, and break down mountains, walls, and towers. 

5 They flay and are flain, and tranfgrefs not the king's 
commandment : if they get the vidlory, they bring all 
to the king, as well the fpoil, as all things elfe. 

6 Likewife for thofe that are no foldiers, and have not 
to do with wars, but ufe hufbandry, when they have 
reaped again that which they had fown, they bring it to 
the king, and compel one another to pay tribute unto 
the king. 

7 And yet he is but one man : if he command to kill, 
they kill ; if he command to fpare, they fpare ; 

8 If he command to fmite, they finite ; if he command 
to make defolate, they make defolate ; if he command to 
build, they build ; 

9 If he command to cut down, they cut down ; if he 
command to plant, they plant. 

io So all his people and his armies obey him : fur- 
thermore he lieth down, he eateth and drinketh, and tak- 
eth his reft : 

1 1 And thefe keep watch round about him, neither || 
may any one depart and do his own bufinefs, neither dif- 
obev they him in any thing. • 

i 2 O ye men, how fhould not the king be mightieft, 
when in iuch fort he is obeved ? And he held his tonoue. 

J O 

1 3 If Then the third, who had fpoken of women, and 
of the truth, (this was Zorobabel,) began to fpeak. 

1 4 O ye men, it is not the great king, nor the multi- 
tude of men, neither is it wine that f excelleth ; who is it 
then that ruleth them, or hath the lordfhip over them ? 
are they not women ? 

15 Women have borne the king, and all the people 
that bear rule by fea and land. 

1 6 Even of them came they : and they nourifhed them 
up that planted the vineyards from whence the wine 
cometh. 

1 7 Thefe alfo make garments for men : thefe bring 
glory unto men •, and without women cannot men be. 

1 8 Yea, and if men have gathered together gold, and 
filver,*or any other goodly thing, do they not love a wo- 
man which is comely in favour and beauty ? 

19 And letting all thofe things go, do they not gape, 
and even with open mouth fix their eyes faft on her ; 
and have not all men more defire unto her than unto fil- 
ver or gold, or any goodly thing whatfoever ? 

20 A man leaveth his own father that brought him up, 
and his own country, and cleaveth unto his wife. 

21 He fticketh not to fpend his life with his wife, 
and remembereth neither father, nor mother, nor country. 

22 By this alfo ye muft know that women have do- 
minion over you : do ye not labour and toil, and give 
and bring all to the woman ? 

23 Yea, a man taketh his fword, and goeth his way to 
rob, and to fteal, to fail upon the fea, and upon rivers ; 

24 And looketh upon a lion, and goeth in the dark- 
nefs ; and when he hath ftolen, fpoiled, and robbed, he 
bringeth it to his love. 

25 Wherefore a man loveth his wife better than fa- 
ther or mother. 

26 Yea, many there be that have || run out of their 
wits for women, and become fervants for their fakes. 

27 Many alfo have perifhed, have erred, and finned, 
for women. 

28 And now do ye hot believe me ? is not the king 



I. ESD'RAS. The force of truth. 

great in his power ? do not all regions fear to touch him ? 



29 Yet did I fee him and Apame the king's concubine, 
the daughter of the admirable || Eartacus, fitting at the 
right hand of the king, 

30 And taking the crown from the king's head, and 
fetting it upon her own head : fhe alfo ftruck the king 
with her left hand. 

3 1 And yet || for all this the king gaped and gazed up- 
on her with open mouth : if ihe laughed upon him, he 
laughed alfo : but if fhe took any difpleafure at him, the 
king was fain to flatter, that fhe might || be reconciled 
to him again. 

32 O ye men, how can it be but women fhould be 
ftrong, feeing they do thus ? 

33 51 Then the king and the princes looked one upon 
another : fo he began to fpeak of the truth. 

34 O ye men, are not women ftrong ? great is the 
earth, high is the heaven, fwift is the fun in his courfe, 
for he compaffeth the heavens round about, and fetch- 
eth his courfe again to his own place in one day. 

35 Is he not great that maketh thefe things ? therefore 
great is the truth, and ftronger than all things. 

36 All the earth || calleth upon the truth, and the 
heaven bleffeth it : all works fhake and tremble at it, and 
with it is no unrighteous thing. 

37 Wine is wicked, the king is wicked, women are 
wicked, all the children of men are wicked, and fnch are 
all their wicked works, and there is no truth in them ; 
in their unrighteoufnefs alfo they fhall perifh. 

38 As for the truth, it endureth, and is always ftrong ; 
it liveth and conquereth for evermore. 

39 With her there is no accepting of perfons or re- 
wards ; but fhe doeth the things that are juft, and re- 
fraineth from all unjuft and wicked things ; and all men 
do well like of her works. 

40 Neither in her judgment is any unrighteoufnefs : 
and fhe is the ftrength, kingdom, power, and majefty, of 
all ages. Bleffed be the God of truth. 

41 51 And with that he held his peace. And all the 
people then fhouted, and faid, Great is truth, and mighty 
above all things. 

42 Then faid the king unto him, Afk what thou wilt 
more than is appointed in the writing, and we will give 
it thee, becaufe thou art found wifeft ; and thou fhalt fit 
next me, and fhalt be called my coufin. 

43 Then faid he unto the king, Remember thy vow, 
which thou haft vowed to build Jerufalem, in the day 
when thou cameft to thy kingdom, 

44 And to fend away all the veffels that were taken 
away out of Jerufalem, which Cyrus fet apart, when he 
vowed to deftroy Babylon, and to fend them again thither. 

45 Thou alfo haft vowed to build up the temple, which 
the Edomites burnt when Judea was made defolate by the 
Chaldees. 

46 And now, O lord the king, this is that which I 
require, and which I defire of thee, and this is the prince- 
ly liberality proceeding from thyfelf : I defire therefore 
that thou make good the vow, the performance whereof 
with thine own mouth thou haft vowed to the King of 
heaven. 

47 Then Darius the king ftood up and kiffed him, 
and wrote letters for him unto all the treafurers, and 
lieutenants, and captains, and governors, that they fhould 
fafely convey on their way both him, and all thofe that 
go up with him to build Jerufalem.

The king orders Jerufalem to be builded. C H A 

48 He wrote letters alfo unto the lieutenants that were 
in Celofyria and Phenice, and unto them in Libanus, 
that they fhould bring cedar-wood from Libanus unto 
Jerufalem, and that they fhould build the city with him. 

49 Moreover, he wrote for all the Jews that went out 
of his realm up into Jewry, concerning their freedom, 
that no officer, no ruler, no lieutenant, nor || treaiurer, 
fhould^ forcibly enter into their doors ; 

50 And that all the country which they hold, fhould 
be free without tribute ; and that the Edomites fhould 
give over the villages of the Jews which then they held ; 

5 1 Yea, that there fhould be yearly given twenty tal- 
ents to the building of the temple, until the time that it 
were built ; 

52 And other ten talents yearly to maintain the burnt 
offerings upon the altar every day, (as they had a com- 
mandment to offer feventeen ;) 

53 And that all they that went from Babylon to build 
the city, fhould have free liberty, as well they as their 
pofterity, and all the priefts that went away. 

54 He wrote alfo concerning the charges, and the 
priefts' veftments wherein they minifter ; 

55 And likewife for the charges of the Levites to be 
given them, until the day that the houfe were finiflied, 
and Jerufalem builded up. 

56 And he commanded to give to all that kept the city 
Jl .°. r ' - II penfions and wages. 

57 He fent away alfo all the veffels from Babylon that 
Cvrus had fet apart ; and all that Cyrus had given in 
commandment, the fame charged he alio to be done, and 
fent unto Jerufalem. 

58 Now, when this young man was gone forth, he 
lifted up his face to heaven, toward Jerufalem, and praifed 
the King of heaven, 

59 And f.iid, From thee cometh victory, from thee 
cometh wifdom, and thine is the glory, and I am thy 
fervant. 

60 Bleffed art thou, who haft given me wifdom : for 
to thee I give thanks, O Lord of our fathers. 

61 And fo he took the letters, and went out, and came 
unto Babylon, and told it all his brethren. 

62 And they praifed the God of their fathers ; be- 
caufe he had given them freedom and liberty 

63 To go up, and to build Jerufalem, and the temple 
which is called by his name : and they feafted, with 
inftruments of mulic and gladnefs, feven days.

vowed to fet up the houfe again in his own place accord- 
ing to their ability, 

45 And to give into the holy treafury of the works a 
thoufand pounds of gold, five thoufand of filver, and an 
hundred prieftly veftments. 

46 And fo dwelt the priefts and the Levites and the 
people in Jerufalem, and in the country, the fingers alio 
and the porters ; and all Ifrael in their villages. 

47 % But when the feventh month was at hand, and 
when the children of Ifrael were every man in his own 
place, they came all together with one confent into the 
open place of the firft || gate which is toward the eaft. 

48 Then ftood up Jefus the fon of Jofedec, and his 
brethren the priefts, and Zorobabel the fon of Salathiel, 
and his brethren, and made ready the altar of the God 
of Ifrael, 

49 To offer burnt fiicrifices upon it, according as it is 
exprefsly commanded in the book of Mofes the man of 
God. 

50 And there were gathered unto them out of the 
other nations of the land, and they erected the altar upon 
his own place, becaufe all the nations of the land were at 
enmity with them, and oppreffed them ; and they offered 
facrifices according to the time, and burnt offerings to 
the Lord both morning and evening. 

5 1 Alfo they held the feaft of tabernacles, as it is 
commanded in the law, and offered facrifices daily, as was 
meet : 

5 2 And after that the || continual oblations, and the 
facrifice of the fabbaths, and of the new moons, and of 
all holy feafh. 

53 And all they that had f made any vow to God 
began to offer facrifices to God from the firft day of the 
feventh month, although the temple of the Lord was not 
yet built. 

54 And they gave unto the mafons and carpenters 
money, meat and drink, with cheerfulnefs. 

55 Unto them of Sidon alfo and Tyre they gave cars, 
that they fhould bring cedar trees from Libanus, which 
fhould be brought by floats to the haven of Joppe, ac- 
cording as it was commanded them by Cyrus king of the 
Perfians. 

56 f And in the fecond year, and fecond month, after 
his coming to the temple of God at Jerufalem, began 
Zorobabel the fon of Salathiel, and Jefus the fon of 
Jofedec, and their brethren, and the priefts, and the 
Levites, and all they that were come unto Jerufalem out 
of the captivity : 

57 And they laid the foundation of the houfe of God 
in the firft day of the fecond month, in the fecond year 
after they were come to Jewry and Jerufalem. 

58 "And they appointed the Levites, from twenty 
years old, over the works of the Lord. Then ftood up 
Jefus and his fons and brethren, and Cadmiel his brother, 
and the fons of Madiabun, with the fons of Joda the fon 
of Eliadun, with their fons and brethren, all Levites, with 
one accord || fetters forward of the bufinefs, labouring to 
advance the works in the houfe of God. So the work- 
men built the temple of the Lord. 

59 And the priefts ftood arrayed in their veftments, 
with mufical inftruments and trumpets ; and the Levites

61 And they fung, ivith loud voices, fongs to the 
praife of the Lord ; becaufe his mercy and glory is for 
ever in all Ifrael. 

61 And all the people founded trumpets, and fhouted 
with a loud voice, linging fongs of thankfgiving unto the 
Lord, for the rearing up of the houfe of the Lord. 

63 ° Alfo of the priefts and Levites, and of the chief 
of their families, the ancients, who had feen the former 
houfe, came to the building of this with weeping and 
great crying. 

64 But many, with trumpets and joy, fhouted with 
loud voice, 

65 Infomuch that the trumpets might not be || heard 
for the weeping of the people : yet the multitude founded 
marvelloufly, fo that it was heard afar off. 

66 ^f p Wherefore when the enemies of the tribe of 
Judah and Benjamin heard it, they came to know what 
that noife of trumpets fhould mean. 

67 And they perceived that they that were of the cap- 
tivity did build the temple unto the Lord God of Ifrael. 

68 So they went to Zorobabel and Jefus, and to the 
chief of the families, and faid unto them, W.e will build 
together with you : 

69 For we likewife, as you, do obey your Lord, and 
do facrifice unto him from the days of || Azbazareth the 
king of the Affyrians, who brought us hither. 

70 Then Zorobabel and Jefus, and the chief of the 
families of Ifrael, faid unto them, It is not for us and you 
to build together an houfe unto the Lord our God. - 

7 1 We ourfelves alone will build unto the Lord of If- 
rael, according as Cyrus the king of the Perfians hath 
commanded us. 

72 But the heathen of the land, lying heavy upon the 
inhabitants of Judea, and holding them ftrait, hindered 
their building : 

73 And by their fecret plots, and popular perfuafions 
and commotions, they hindered the rinifhing of the 
building all the time that king Cyrus lived : fo they were 
hindered from building for the fpace of two years, || until 
the reign of Darius. 

CHAP. VI. 

1 The prophets fir tip the people to build the temple. 7 The 
copy of the letter fen t to Darius concerning it. 23 Darius 
fendeth Liters to further the work. 

NOW, in the fecond year of the reign of Darius, 
Aggeus, and Zacharias the fon of || Addo, the 
prophets, prophehed unto the Jews, in Jewry and Jeru- 
falem in the name of the Lord God of Ifrael, || which 
was upon them. 

2 Then ftood up Zorobabel the fon of Salathiel, and 
Jefus the fon of Jofedec, and began to build the houfe of 
the Lord at Jerufalem, the prophets of the Lord being 
with them, and helping them. 

3 a At the fame time came unto them || Sifinnes the 
governor of Syria and Phenice, with || Sathrabuzanes and 
his companions, and faid unto them, 

4 By whofe appointment do ye build this houfe, and 
this roof, and perform all the other things ? and who arc 
the workmen that perform thefe things ? 

5 Neverthelefs, the elders of the Jews obtained favour •, 
becaufe the Lord had vifited the captivity : 

6 And they were not hindered from building, until 
fuch time as fignification was given unto Darius concern- 
ing them, and an anfwer received. 



Copy of the letter of Darius, 



7 f[ The copy of the letters which Sifinnes, governor C otjc T 
of Syria and Phenice, and Sathrabuzanes, with their si 9. 
companions, rulers in Syria and Phenice, wrote and fent { ~*~'<~**~ 
unto Darius ; To king Darius, greeting : 

8 Let all things be known unto our Lord the king, 
that, being come into the country of Judea, and entered . 
into the city of Jerufalem, we found in the city of Jeru- 
falem the ancients of the Jews, that were of the captivity, 

9 Building an houfe unto the Lord, great and new, of 
hewn and coftly ftones, and the timber already laid upon 
the walls. 

10 And thofe works are done with great fpeed, and 
the work goeth on profperoufly in their hands, and with 
all glory and diligence is it made. 

1 1 Then afked we thefe elders, faying, By whofe com- 
mandment build ye this houfe, and lay the foundations 
of thefe works ? 

12 Therefore, to the intent, that we might give 
knowledge unto thee by writing, we demanded of them 
who were the chief doers, and we required of them the 
names in writing of their principal men. 

13 So they gave us this anfwer, We are the fervants of 
the Lord, which made heaven and earth. 

14 And as for this houfe, it was builded many years 
ago by a king of Ifrael, great and ftrong, and was finiihed. 

15 But when our fathers provoked God unto wrath, 
and finned againft the Lord of Ifrael which is in heaven, 
he gave them over into the power of Nabuchodcnofor 
king of Babylon, of the Chaldees ; 

16 Who pulled down the houfe, and burned it, and 
carried away the people captives unto Babylon. 

1 7 But in the firft year that king Cyrus reigned over 
the country of Babylon, Cyrus the king wrote to build 
up this houfe. 

1 8 And the holy veffels of gold and of filver, that 
Nabuchodonofor had carried away out of the houfe at 
Jerufalem, and had fet them in his own temple, thofe 
Cyrus the king brought forth again out of the temple at 
Babylon, and they were delivered to || Zorobabel, and 
to Sanabaffarus the ruler ; 

19 With commandment that he fhould carry away the 
fame veffels, and put them in the temple at Jerufalem ; 
and that the temple of the Lord fhould be built in his place. 

20 Then the fame Sanabaflarus, being come hither, 
laid the foundations of the houfe of the Lord at Jeru- 
falem ; and from that time to this, being frill a building, 
it is not yet fully ended. 

21 Now therefore, if it feem good unto the king, let 
fearch be made among the || records of king Cyrus : 

2 2 And if it be found that the building of the houfe 
of the Lord at Jerufalem hath been done with the confent 
of king Cyrus, and if our Lord the king be fo minded, 
let him liguify unto us thereof.

both of gold and filver, that Nabuchodonofor took out of

be reftored to the houfe at Jerufalem, and be fet in the

27 And alio he commanded that Sifinnes the gover-

Syria and Phenice, fhould be careful not to meddle with 
the place, but fuffer Zorobabel the fervant of the Lord, 
and governor of Judea, and the elders of the Jews to 
build the houfe of the Lord in that place. 

28 I have commanded alfo to have it built up whole 
again ; and that they look diligently to help thofe that 
be of the captivity of the Jews, till the houfe of the Lord 
be finifhed : 

29 And out of the tribute of Celofyria and Phenice a 
portion carefully to be given thefe men for the facrifices 
of the Lord, that is, to Zorobabel the governor, for bul- 
locks, and rams, and lambs ; 

30 And alfo corn, fait, wine, and oil, and that contin- 
ually every year without further queftion, according as 
the priefts that be in Jerufalem fhall fignify to be daily 
fpent : 

3 1 That || offerings may be made to the moft high 
God for the king, and for his children, and that they may 
pray for their lives. 

32 And he commanded that whofoever fhould tranf- 
grefs, yea, or make light of any thing afore fpoken or 
written, out of his own houfe fhould a tree be taken, and 
he thereon be hanged, and all his goods feized for the.king. 

33 Tfce Lord therefore, whole name is there called 
upon, utterly deftroy every king and nation that ftretch- 
eth out his hand to hinder or endamage that houfe of the

following the commandments of king Darius, 

2 Did very carefully overfee the holy works, affifting 
the ancients of the Jews, and governors of the temple. 

3 And fo the holy works profpered, when Aggeus 
and Zacharias the prophets prophefied. 

4 And they finifhed thefe things by the commandment 
of the Lord God of Ifrael, and with || the confent of 
Cyrus, Darius, and" Artaxerxes, kings of Perfia. 

5 And thus was the holy houfe finilhed in f the three

1 1 They that were of the captivity were not all fancli- 
fied together : but the Levites were all fandtified together. 

12 And fo they offered the pafTover for all them of the 
captivity, and for their brethren the priefts, and for 
themfelves. 

1 3 And the children of Ifrael that came out of the 
captivity did eat, even all they that had feparated them- 
felves from the abominations of the people of the land, 
and fought the Lord. 

14 And they kept the feaft of unleavened bread {even 
days, making merry before the Lord :

3 This Efdras went up from Babylon as a fcribe, being 
very ready in the law of Mofes that was given by the God 
of Ifrael. 

4 And the king did him honour : for he found grace 
in his fight in all his requefts. 

5 There went up with him alfo certain of the children 
of Ifrael, of the priefts, of the Levites, of the holy fingers, 
porters, and || minifters of the temple, unto Jerufalem. 

6 In || the feventh year of the reign of Artaxerxes, in 
the fifth month, (this was the king's feventh year,) for 
they went from Babylon in the firft day of the firft 
month, and came to Jerufalem, according to the j| prof- 
perous journey which the Lord gave them. 

7 For Efdras had very great fkill, fo that he omitted 
nothing of the law and commandments of the Lord, but 
taught all Ifrael the ordinances and judgments.

written from Artaxerxes the king, and came to Efdras

10 Having determined to deal gracioufly, I have given 
order, that fuch of the nation of the Jews, and of the 
priefts and Levites, being within our realm, as are willing 
and defirous, fhould go with thee unto Jerufalem. 

1 1 As many therefore as have a mind thereunto, let 
them depart with thee, as it hath feemed good both to 
me and my feven friends the counfeilors ;

CHAP; 

Lord of Ifrael to 
Jerusalem, which I and my friends have vowed, and all 
the gold and filver that in the country of Babylon can be 
|| found, to the Lord in Jerufalem, 

14 With that alfo which is given of the people for 
the temple of the Lord their God at Jerufalem : and 
that fil'ver and gold may be collefted for bullocks, rams, 
and lambs, and things thereunto appertaining : 

1 5 To the end that they may offer facrifices unto the 
Lord upon the altar of the Lord their God, which is in 
Jerufalem. 

1 6 And whatfoever thou and thy brethren will do 
|| with the filver and gold, that do, according to the will 
of thy God. 

17 And the holy veffels of the Lord, which are 
given thee for the ufe of the temple of thy God, which 
is in Jerufalem, thou fhalt fet before thy God in Jerufa- 
lem. 

1 8 And whatfoever thing elfe thou fhalt remember, 
for the ufe of the temple of thy God, thou fhalt give it 
out of the king's treafury. 

19 And I king Artaxerxes have alfo commanded the 
keepers of the treafures in Syria and Phenjce, that what- 
foever Efdras the prieft, and the reader of the law of the 
moft high God, fhall fend for, they fhall give it him 
with fpeed, 

20 To the fum of an hundred talents of filver, like- 
wife alfo of wheat even to an hundred || cors, and an 
hundred pieces of wine, and other things in abundance. 

2 1 Let all things be performed after the law of God 
diligently unto the moft high God, that wrath come not 
upon the kingdom of the king and his fons. 

22 I command you alfo, that ye require no tax, nor 
any other impofition, of any of the priefts, or Levites, 
or holy fingers, or porters, or minifters of the temple, 
or of any that have doings in this temple ; and that no 
man have authority to impofe any thing upon them. 

23 And thou, Efdras, according to the wifdom of 
God, ordain judges and juftices, that they may judge in 
all Syria and Phenice, f all thofe that know the law of 
thy God ; and thofe that know it not, thou fhalt teach. 

24 And e whomever fhall tranfgrefs the law of thy 
God, and of the king, fhall be punifhed diligently, 
whether it be by death or other punifhment, by penalty 
of money, or by imprifonment. 

25 % Then faid Efdras the fcribe, Bleffed be the only 
Lord God of my fathers, who hath put thefe things into 
the heart of the king, to glorify his houfe that is in Je- 
rufalem : 

26 And hath honoured me in the fight of the king 
and his counfellors, and all his friends and nobles. 

27 Therefore was I encouraged by the help of the 
Lord my God, and gathered together men of Ifrael to 
go up with me. 

28 *|T And thefe are the chief, according to their fam- 
ilies and feveral dignities, that went up with me from 
Babylon, in the reign of king Artaxerxes :

50 f And there I || vowed a faft unto the young men 'l'S^',f 
before our Lord, to defire of him a profperous journey, f* t b b ^ m 
both for us and them that were with us, for our children, Ezra at?- 
and for the f cattle ; /** ' 

51 For I was afhamed to affe the king footmen, and t h eb."

faries. 

52 For We had faid unto the king, that the power of 
the Lord our God fhould be with them that feek him, to 
fupport them in all ways. 

53 And again we befought our Lord, as touching 
thefe things, and found him favourable unto us. 

54 51 Then I feparated twelve of the chief of the 
priefts, • Efebrias, and Affanias, and ten men of their bias, and 
brethren with them : 

55 And I weighed them the gold, and the filver, and 
the holy vcflcls of the hotffc- of our Lord, which the 

king,

Efdras lamenteth the Jim of the people. I. E S D R A S. 

Christ k' n S» an< ^ his council, and the princes,"and all Ifrael, had 
given. 

$6 And when I had weighed it, I delivered unto 
them fix hundred and fifty talents of filver, and filver 
vefTels of an hundred talents, and an hundred talents of 
gold, 

57 And twenty golden vefTels, and f twelve vefTels of 
brafs, even of fine brafs, glittering like gold. 

58 And I faid unto them, Both ye are holy unto the 
Lord, and the vefTels are holy, and the gold and the filver 
is a vow unto the Lord, the Lord of our fathers. 

59 Watch ye, and keep them till ye deliver them to 
the chief of the priefts and Levites, and to the principal 
men of the families of Ifrael, in Jerufalem, into the 
chambers of the houfe of our God. 

60 So the priefts and the Levites, who had received 
the filver, and the gold, and the vefTels, brought them 
unto Jerufalem, into the temple of the Lord. 

61 If And from the river Theras we departed the 
twelfth day of the firft month, and came to Jerufalem 
by the mighty hand of our Lord, which was with us : 
and from the [| beginning of our journey the Lord de- 
livered us from every enemy, and fo we came to Jerufa- 
lem. 

62 And when we had been there three days, the gold 
and filver that was weighed was delivered in the houfe 
of our Lord, on the fourth day, || unto Marmoth the 
prieft, the fon of Iri. 

63 And with him was Eleazar the fon of Phinees, 
and with them were Jofabad the fon of Jefu, || Moeth 
the fon of Sabban, Levites : all was delivered them by 
number and weight. 

64 And all the weight of them was written up the 
fame hour. 

65 Moreover, they that were come out of the captiv-

67 And they delivered the king's commandments 
unto the king's ftewards, and to the governors of Celo- 
fyria and Phenice ; and they honoured the people, and 
the temple of God. 

68 U Now, when thefe things were done, the rulers 
came unto me, and faid, 

69 The nation of Ifrael, the princes, the priefts, and 
Levites, have not put away from them the ftrange peo- 
ple of the land, nor the pollutions of the Gentiles, to ivit, 
of the Canaanites, Hittites, Pherefites, Jebufites, and 
the Moabites, Egyptians, and Edomites ; 

70 m For both they and their fons have married with 
their daughters, and the holy feed is mixed with the 
ftrange people of the land ; and from the beginning of 
this matter, the rulers and the great men have been par- 
takers of this iniquity. 

7 1 And as foon as I had heard thefe things, I rent my 
clothes, and the holy garment, and pulled off the hair 
from off my head and beard, and fat me down fad and 
very heavy. 

7 2 So all they that were then moved at the word of the- 
Lord God of Ifrael, afiembled unto me, whilft I mourned 
for the iniquity : but I fat ftill full of heavinefs, until the 
evening facrifke.

They put away their Jlrange wives'* 

the holy garment rent, and bowing my knees, and ftretch- 
ing forth my hands unto the Lord, 

74 I faid, O Lord, I am confounded and afhamed 
before thy face : 

75 For our fins || are multiplied above our heads, and 
our ignorances have reached up unto heaven. 

76 For ever fince the time of our fathers, we have been 
and are in great fin, even unto this day. 

77 And for our fins and our fathers', we, with our 
brethren, and our kings, and our priefts, were given up- 
unto the kings of the earth, to the fword, and to cap- 
tivity, and for a prey, with fhame unto this day. 

78. And now in fome meafure hath mercy been fhew- 
ed unto us from thee, O Lord, that there fhould be left 
us a root, and a name, in the place of thy fancluary ; 

79 And to difcover unto us a light in the houfe of the 
Lord our God, and to give us f food in the time of our 
fervitude. 

80 Yea, when we were in bondage, we were not for- 
faken of our Lord j but he made us gracious before the 
kings of Perfia, fo that they gave us food ; 

81 Yea, and honoured the temple of our Lord, and 
raifed up the defolate Sion, that they have given us a 
fure abiding in Jewry and Jerufalem. 

82 And now, O Lord, what fhall we fay, having thefe 
things ? for we have tranfgrefTed thy commandments, 
which thou gaveft by the hand of thy fervants the proph- 
ets, faying, 

83 That the land, which ye enter into to pofTefs as an 
heritage, is a land polluted with the pollutions of the 
ftrangers of the land, and they have filled it with their 
uncleannefs. 

84 Therefore now fhall ye not join your daughters 
unto their fons, neither fhall ye take their daughters 
unto your fons. 

85 Moreover, ye fhall never feek to have peace with 
them, that ye may be ftrong, and eat the good things of 
the land, and that ye may leave the inheritance of the 
land unto your children for evermore. 

86- And all that is befallen is done unto us for our 
wicked works, and great fins : for thou, O Lord, didft 
make our fins light, 

87 And didft give unto us fuch a root : but we have- 
turned back again to tranfgrefs thy law, and to mingle 
ourfelves with the uncleannefs of the nations of the land. 

88 || Mighteft not thou be angry with us to deftroy us, 
till thou hadft left us neither root, feed, nor name ? 

89 O Lord of Ifrael, thou art true j. for we are left a 
root this day. 

90 Behold, now are we before thee in our iniquities ; 
for we cannot ftand any longer by reafon of thefe things 
before thee. 

9 1 And as Efdras in his prayer made his confeffion, 
weeping, and lying flat upon the ground before the tem- 
ple, there gathered unto him from Jerufalem a very great 
multitude of men, and women, and children : for there 
was great weeping among the multitude. 

92 1f Then Jechonias the fon of Jeelus, one of the fons 
of Ifrael, called out, and faid, O Efdras, we have fin- 
ned againft the Lord God, we have married ftrange 
women of the nations of the land, and now is all IfraeL 
|| aloft. 

93 Let us make an oath to the Lord, that we will put 
away all our wives which we have taken of the heathen, 
with their children^.

things ; andyS they fware. 

CHAP. IX. 

1 Efdras ajjembleth and exhorteth the people t 10 they 
promlfe to put away their Jirange luives, &c. 

THEN a Efdras rifing from the court of the temple, 
went to the chamber of Joanan the fon of Eliafib, 

2 And remained there, and did eat no meat, nor 
drink water, mourning for the great iniquities of the 
multitude. 

3 And there was a proclamation in all Jewry and Je- 
rufalem, to all them that were of the captivity, that they 
fhould be gathered together at Jerufalem : 

4 And that whomever met not there within two or 
three days, according as the elders that bare rule appoint- 
ed, their cattle fhould be feized*to the ufe of the tem- 

d°/ro'y t 'i rIy pie, and himfelf || caft out from them that were of the

5 And in three days were all they of the tribe of Juda 
and Benjamin gathered together at Jerufalem, the twen- 
tieth day of the ninth month. 

6 And all the multitude fat trembling in the broad

7 So Efdras arofe up, and faid unto them, Ye have 
tranfgrefTed the law in marrying ftrange wives, thereby 
to increafe the fins of Ifrael. 

8 And now by confeffion give glory unto the Lord 
God of our fathers, 

9 And do his will, and feparate yourfelves from the 
heathen of the land, and from the ftrange women. 

I o f Then cried the whole multitude, and faid with a 
loud voice, Like as thou haft fpoken, fo will we do. 

I I But forafmuch as the people are^ many, and it is 
foul weather, fo that we cannot ftand without, and this 
is not a work of a day or two, feeing our fin in thefe 
things is fpread far : 

iiOr,,torf. I2 Therefore let the rulers of the multitude || ftay, and 
let all them of our habitations that have ftrange wives, 
come at the time appointed, 

13 And with them the rulers and judges of every 
place, till we turn away the wrath of the Lord from us 
for this matter. 

14 f Then Jonathan the fon of Azael, and Ezechias 
the fon of Theocanus, accordingly took this matter upon 
them : and Mofollam, and Levis, and Sabbatheus helped 
them. 

1 5 And they that were of the captivity did according 
to all thefe things. 

16 And Efdras the prieft chofe unto him the princi- 
pal men of their families, all by name : and in the firft 
day of the tenth month, they fat together to examine the 
matter.

4 And the word of the Lord came unto me, faying, 

5 Go thy way, and b fhew my people their finful deeds, 
and their children their wickednefs which they have done 
againft me ; that they may tell their children's children. 

6 Becaufe the fins of their fathers are increafed in 
them : for they have forgotten me, and have offered un- 
to ftrange gods. 

7 Am not I even he that brought them out of the land 
of Egypt from the houfe of bondage ? but they have 
provoked me unto wrath, and defpifed my counfels. 

8 Pull thou off" then the hair of thy head, and caft all 
evil upon them, for they have not been obedient unto my 
law, but it is a rebellious people. 

9 How long fhall I forbear them, unto whom I have 
done fo much good ? 

10 Many kings have I deftroyed for their fakes ; c Pha- 
raoh with his fervants, and all his power have I fmitten 
down. 

1 1 d All the nations have I deftroyed before them, and 
in the eaft I have fcattered the people of two provinces, 
even of Tyrus and Sydoh, and have flain all their ene- 
mies. 

1 2 Speak thou therefore unto them, faying, Thus faith 
the Lord, 

1 3 e I led you through the fea, and in the beginning 
gave you a large and fafe || paffage ; f I gave you Mofes 
for a leader, and Aaron for a prieft. 

14 ? I gave you light in a pillar of fire, and great won- 
ders have I done among you ; yet have ye forgotten me, 
faith the Lord. 



1 5 Thus faith the Almighty Lord, The h quails were 
as a token for you : I gave you tents for your fafe guard : 
neverthelefs, ye murmured there, 

1 6 And triumphed not in my name for the deftruction 
of your enemies, but ever to this day do ye yet murmur. 

1 7 Where are the benefits that I have done for you ? 
when ye were hungry and thirfty in the wildernefs, ' did 
ye not cry unto me, 

1 8 Saying, Why haft thou brought us into this wilder- 
nefs to kill us ? it had been better for us to have ferved 
the Egyptians than to die in this wildernefs. 

19 Then had I pity upon your mournings, and gave 
you manna to eat ; k fo ye did eat angels' bread. 

20 ' When ye were thirfty, did I not cleave the rock, 
and waters flowed out || to your fill ? for the heat I cov- 
ered you with the leaves of the trees. 

2 1 I divided among you a fruitful land, I caft out the 
Canaanites, the Pherezites, and the Philiftines, before you : 
m what fhall I yet do more for you ? faith the Lord. 

22 Thus faith the Almighty Lord, when ye were in the 
wildernefs, || in the river of the Amorites, being athirft, 
and blafpheming my name, 

23 I gave you not fire for your blafpliemies, but caft a 
tree in the water, and made the river fweet. 

24 1f What fhall I do unto thee, O Jacob ? thou n Ju- 
da wouldeft not obey me : I will turn me to other nations, 
and unto thofe will I give my name, that they may keep 
my ftatutes. 

25 Seeing ye have forfaken me, I will forfake you alfo : 
when ye defire me to be gracious unto you, I fhall have 
no mercy upon you. 

26 ° Whenfoever ye fhall call upon me, I will not hear

nurfe her young babes, 

29 That ye would be my people, |[ and I fhould be

to tremble, and troubledft the men of that age. 

19 And thy glory went through four gates of fire, and 
of earthquake, and of wind, and of cold ; that thou 
mighteft give the law unto the feed of Jacob, |j and dih. 
igence unto the generation of Ifrael. 

20 And yet tookeft thou not away from them a wick- 
ed heart, that thy law might bring forth fruit in them. 

2 1 For the firft Adam, bearing a wicked heart, tranf- 
greffed, and was overcome ; and {o be all they that are 
born of him. 

22 Thus infirmity was made permanent ; and the law 
(alfo) in the heart of the people with the malignity of the 
root ; fo that the good departed away, and the evil abode 
ftill. 

23 So the times paffed away, and the years were brought 
to an end l then didft thou raife thee up a fervant call- 
ed David. 

24 m Whom thou commandeft to build a city unto thy 
name, and to offer incenfe and oblations unto thee 
therein. 

25 When this was done many years, then they that 
inhabited the city forfook thee, 

26 And in all things did even as Adam and all his gen- 
erations had done ; for they alfo had a wicked heart. 

27 And fo thou gaveft thy city over into the hands of 
thine enemies. 

28 Are their deeds then any better that inhabit Baby- 
lon, that they fhould therefore have the dominion over 
Sion ? 

29 For when I came thither, and had feen impieties 
without number, then my foul faw many evil doers in 
this thirtieth year, fo that my heart failed me. 

30 For I have feen how thou fuffereft them finning, 
and haft fpared wicked doers ; and haft deftroyed thy 
people, and haft preferved thine enemies, and haft not 
fignified it. 

31 || I do not remember how this way may be left. 
Are they then of Babylon better th^n they of Sion ?

ivays, and advifeth him not to meddle with things above his 
reach. 22 Efdras quejlicneth, and receiveth anfwer s. 

N D the angel that was fent unto me, whofe name 
was Uriel, gave me an anfwer, 
2~. And faid, Thy heart hath gone too far in this world, 
and thinkeft thou to comprehend the way of the moft 
High ? 

3 Then faid I, Yea, my lord. And he anfwered me, 
and faid, I am fent to fhew thee three ways, and to fet 
forth three fimilitudes before thee : 

4 Whereof, if thou canft declare me one, I will fhew 
thee alfo the way that thou defireft to fee, and I fhall 
fhew thee from whence the wicked heart cometh. 

5 And I faid, Tell on, my lord. Then faid he unto 
me, Go thy way, weigh me the weight of the fire, or 
meafure me the blaft of the wind, or call me again the 
day that is paft. 

6 Then anfwered I, and faid, What man is able to do 
•that, that thou fhouldeft alk fuch things of me ? 

7 And he faid unto me, If I fhould alk thee how great 
dwellings are in the midft of the fea ? or how many 
fprings are in the beginning of the deep ? or how many 
fprings are above the firmament ? or which are the out- 
goings of paradife ? 

8 Peradventure thou wouldeft fay unto me, I never 
went down into the deep, nor as yet into hell, neither 
did I ever climb up into heaven. 

9 Neverthelefs, now have I afked thee but only of the 
fire, and wind, and of the day wherethrough thou haft 
paffed, and of things from which thou canft not be 
ieparated, and yet canft thou give me no anfwer of 
them. 

I o He faid moreover unto me, Thine own things, and 
fuch as are grown up with thee, canft thou not know ; 

I I How fhould thy veflel then be able to comprehend 
the way of the Higheft, and, the world being now out- 

l or, inur- wardly corrupted, to underftand the || corruption that is 
evident in my fight ? 

12 Then faid I unto him, It were better that we were 
not at all, than that we fhould live ftill in wickednefs, and 
to fuffer, and not to know wherefore. 

1 3 He anfwered me, and faid, I went into a foreft into 
a jndew a plain, and the a trees took counfel. 
t ciiroa. *4 And faid, Come, let us go and make war againft 

the fea, that it may depart away before us, and that we 
may make us more woods. 

15 The floods of the fea alfo in like manner took coun- 
fel, and laid, Come, let us go up and fubdue the woods 



P. IV. his quejlions, with their anfwers. 

of the plain, that there alfo we may make us another 
country. 

1 6 The thought of the wood was in vain, for the fire 
came and confumed it. 

1 7 The thought of the floods of the fea came likewife 
to nought, for the fand ftood up and flopped them. 

18 If thou wert judge now betwixt thefe two, whom 
wouldeft thou begin to juftify ? or whom wouldeft thou 
condemn ? 

! 19 I anfwered and faid, Verily it is a foolifh thought 
that they both have devifed, for.|| the ground is given Ljjf' ,be 
unto the wood, and the fea alfo hath his place to bear 
his [J floods. 

20 Then anfwered he me, and faid, Thou haft giv- 
en a right judgment, but why judgeft thou not thvfelf 
alfo ?

only underftand the things that are above the height of 
the heavens. 

22 % Then anfwered I and faid, I befeech thee, O 
Lord, let me have underftanding. 

23 For it was not my mind to be curious of the high 
things, but of fuch as pafs by us daily, namely, where- 
fore Ifrael is given up as a reproach to the heathen ; and 
for what caufe the people whom thou haft loved is given 
over unto ungodly nations ; and why the law of our fore- 
fathers is brought to nought, and the written covenants „ ~ 

o ■ Q * \. Or, no

24 And we pafs away out of the world as grafs hoppers, 
and our life is aftonifhment and fear \ and we are not 
worthy to obtain mercy. 

25 What will he then do unto his name whereby we 
are called ? of thefe things have I afked. 

26 Then anfwered he me, and faid, The more thou 
fearcheft, the more thou fhalt marvel j for the world 
hafteth faft to pafs away, 

27 And cannot comprehend the things that are prom- 
ifed to the righteous in time to come : for this world 
is full of unrighteoufnefs and infirmities. 

28 But as concerning the things whereof thou afkeft 
me, I will tell thee ; for the evil is fown, but the deftruc- 
tion thereof is not yet come. 

29 If therefore that which Is fown be not turned np- 
fide down, and if the place where the evil is fown, pals 
not away, then cannot it come that is fown with good. 

30 For the grain of evil feed hath been fown in the 
heart of Adam from the beginning, and how much un- 
godlincfs hath it brought up unto this time ? and how 
much fhall it yet bring forth until the || time of threfh- 
ing come. 

3 1 Ponder now by thyfelf, how great fruit of wicked- 
nefs the grain of evil feed hath brought forth. 

32 And when the ears fhall be cut down which are 
without number, how great a floor fhall they fill ? 

33 Then I anfwered and faid, How, and when, fhall 
thefe things come to pafs ? wherefore are our years few 
and evil ? 

34 And he anfwered me, faying, Do not thou haften 
above the moft Higheft : for thy hafte is in vain to be 
above him, for thou haft much exceeded. 

35 Did not the fouls alfo of the righteous alk queffion 
of thefe things iu their chambers, faying, How !■

fhall I hope on this fafhion ? when cometh the fruit of 
the floor of our reward ? 
la'i'mid. 36 Ariol unto thefe things || Uriel the archangel gave 

them anfwer, and faid, Even when the number of feeds is 
filled in you : for he hath weighed the world in the bal- 
ance. 

3 7 By meafure hath he meafured the times, and by 
number hath he numbered the times ; and he doth not 
move nor ftir them, until the faid meafure be fulfilled. 

38 Then anfwered I, and faid, O Lord, that beareft 
rule, even we all are full of impiety. 

39 And for our fakes peradventure it is that the floors 
of the righteous are not filled, becaufe of the fins of them 
that dwell upon the earth. 

40 So he anfwered me, and faid, Go thy way to a wo- 
man with child, and afk of her, when fhe hath fulfilled her 
nine months, if her womb may keep the birth any longer 
within her ? 

41 Then faid I, No, Lord, that can fhe not. And he 
faid unto me, In the grave the chambers of fouls are like 
the womb of a woman. 

42 For like as a woman that travaileth maketh hafte to 
efcape the neceffity of the travail ; even fo do thefe places 
hafte to deliver thofe things that are committed unto them. 

43 From the beginning, look, what thou defireft to 
fee, it fhall be fliewed thee. 

44 Then anfwered I, and faid, If I have found favour in 
thy fight, and if it be ppllible, and if I be meet therefore, 

45 Shew me then whether there be more to come than 
is paft, or more paft than is to come. 

46 What is paft I know, but what is for to come I 
know not. 

47 And he faid unto me, Stand up upon the right fide, 
and I fhall expound the fimilitude unto thee. 

48 So I ftood, and faw, and, behold, an hot burning 
oven pafled by before me : and it happened that, when 
the flame was gone by, I looked, and, behold, the fmoke 
remained ftill. 

49 After this there pafled by before me a watery cloud, 
and fent down much rain with a ftorm ; and when the 
ftormy rain was paft, the drops remained ftill. 

50 Then faid he unto me, Confider with thyfelf ; as 
the rain is more than the drops, and as the fire is greater 
than the fmoke : but the drops and the fmoke remain be- 

i! Or, meafure ■ \x[ nr \ j f th e || quantity which is paft did more exceed. 

5 1 Then I prayed, and faid, May I live, thinkeft thou, 
jKi'iite?" unt il- tnat time - ? or IJ what fhall happen in thofe days ?

whereof thou afkeft me, I may tell thee of them in part ; 

but as touching thy life, I am not fent to fhew thee ; for 

I do not know it.

Efdras' queftion concerning God's people, 

fee after the third trumpet, that the fun fhall fuddenly 
fhine again in the night, and the moon thrice in the day : 

5 And blood fhall drop out of the wood, and the ftone 
fhall give his voice, and the people fhall be troubled : 

6 And even he fhall rule whom they look not for, that 
dwell upon the earth, and the fowls fhall take their flight 
away together ; 

7 And the Sodomitifh fea fhall caft out fifli, and make 
a noife in the night, which many have not known : but 
they fhall all hear the voice thereof. 

8 There fhall be a confufion alfo in many places, and 

the fire fhall be oft || fent out again, and the wild beafts « 0c >- n ' 
fhall change their places, and menftruous women fhall 
bring forth monfters ;

friends fhall deftroy one another : then fhall wit hide 
itfelf, and underftanding withdraw itfelf into his fecret 
chamber, 

I o And fhall be fought of many, and yet not be found : 
then fhall unrighteoufnefs and incontinency be multiplied 
upon earth. 

I I One land alfo fhall afk another, and fay, Is righte- 
oufnefs that maketh a man righteous gone through thee ? 
And it fhall fay, No. 

12 At the fame time fhall men hope, but nothing ob- 
tain : they fhall labour, but their ways fhall not || profper. lipr, 

1 3 To fhew thee fuch tokens I have leave ; and if thou 
wilt pray again, and weep as now, and faft feven days, 
thou fhalt hear yet greater things. 

14 Then I awaked, and an extreme fearfulnefs went 
through all my body, and my mind was troubled, fo that 
it fainted. 

1 5 So the angel that was come to talk with me held 
me, comforted me, and fet me up upon my feet. 

16 % And in the fecond night it came to pafs, that Sa- 
lathiel the captain of the people came unto me, faying, 
Where haft thou been ? and, why is thy countenance fo 
heavy ? 

1 7 Knoweft thou not that Ifrael is committed unto 
thee in the land of their captivity ? 

18 Up then, and eat bread, and forfake us. not, as the 
fhepherd that leaveth his flock in the hands of cruel wolves. 

19 Then faid I unto him, Go thy ways from me, and 
come not nigh me. And he heard what I faid, and went 
from me. 

20 And fo I fafted feven days, mourning and weeping, 
like as Uriel the angel commanded me. 

21 51 And after feven days fo it was, that the thoughts 
of my heart were very grievous unto me again, 

22 And my foul recovered the fpirit of underftanding, 
and I began to talk with the moft High again, 

23 And faid, O Lord that beareft rule, of every wood 
of the earth, and of all the trees thereof, thou haft chofen 
thee one only vine ; 

24 And of all lands of the whole world, thou haft chof- 
en thee one pit ; and of all the flowers thereof, one lily ; 

25 And of all the depths of the fea, thou haft filled 
thee one river ; and of all builded cities, thou haft hal- 
lowed Sion unto thyfelf ; 

26 And of all the fowls that are created, thou haft 
named thee one dove ; and of all the cattle that aje made, 
thou haft provided thee one fheep ; 

27 And among all the multitudes of people, thou haft 
gotten thee one people •, and unto this people, whom thou 
lovedft, thou gaveft a law that is approved of all. 

28 And

God's judgment tinfearchable .♦ C H A 

28 And now, O Lord, why haft thou given this one 
II or, tver, people over unto many ? and || upon the one root haft 

thou prepared others, and why haft thou fcattered thy 
only one people among many ? 

29 And they which did gainfay thy promifes, and be- 
lieved not thy covenants, have trodden them down. 

30 If thou didft fo much hate thy people, yet fhould- 
eft thou pitnifh them with thine own hands. 

3 1 11 Now when I had fpoken thefe words, the angel 
that came to me the night afore, was fent unto me, 

3 2 And faid unto me, Hear me,and I will inftrucl thee ; 
hearken to the thing that I fay, and I fhall tell thee more. 

3 3 And I faid, fpeak on, my Lord. Then faid he unto 
me, Thou art fore troubled in mind for Ifrael's fake ; 
loveft thou that people better than he that made them ? 

34 And I faid, No, Lord ; but of very grief have I 
fpoken : for my reins pain me every hour, while I labour 
to comprehend the way of the moft High, and to feek 
out part of his judgment. 

35 And he faid unto me, Thou canft not. And I faid, 
"Wherefore, Lord ? whereunto was I born then ? or why 
was not my mother's womb then my grave, that I might 
not have feen the travail of Jacob, and the wearifome toil 
of the ftock of Ifrael ? 

36 And he faid unto me, Number me the things that 
are not yet come, gather me together the drops that are 
fcattered abroad, make me the flowers green again that 
are withered •, 

37 Open me the places that are clofed, and bring me 
forth the winds that in them are fhut up ; fhew me the 
image of a voice ; and then I will declare to thee the 
thing that thou laboureft to know. 

3 8 And I faid, O Lord that beareft rule, who may know 
thefe things, but he that hath not his dwelling with men ? 

39 As for me, I am unwife ; how may I then fpeak of 
thefe things whereof thou alkeft me ? 

40 Then faid he unto me, Like as thou canft do none 
of thefe things that I have fpoken of, even fo canft thou 
not find out my judgment, or in the end the love that I 
have promifed unto my people. 

41 And I faid, Behold, O Lord, yet art thou nigh un- 
to them that be referved till the end : and what fhall 
they do that have been before me, or we that be now, or 
they that fhall come after us ? 

42 And he faid unto me, I will liken my judgment 
unto a ring : like as there is no flacknefs of the laft, even 
fo there is no fwiftnefs of the firft. 

43 So I anfwered and faid, Couldeft thou net make 
thofe that have been made, and be now, and that are for 
to come, at once, that thou mighteft fhew thy judgment 
the fooner ? 

44 Then anfwered he me, and faid, The creature may 
not hafte above the Maker, neither may the world hold 
them at once that fhall be created therein. 

45 And I faid, As thou haft faid unto thy fervant, that 
thou, which giveft life to all, haft given life at once to the 
creature that thou haft created, and the creature bare it ; 
even fo it might now alfo bear them that now be prefent 
at once. 

46 And he faid unto me, Afk the womb of a woman, 
and fay unto her, If thou bringeft forth children, why 
doft thou it not together, but one after another ? pray 
her therefore to bring forth ten children at once. 

47 And I faid, She cannot ; but muft do it by diftance 
of time. 



P. VI. he doth not all at once. 

48 Then faid he uritb me, Even fo have I given the 
Womb of the earth to thofe that befown in it, in their times. 

49 For like as a young child may not bring forth the 
things that belong to the aged, even fo have I difpofed 
the world which I created. 

50 And I afked and faicT, Seeing thou haft now given 
me the way, I will proceed to fpeak before thee : for our 
mother, of whom thou haft told me that fhe is young, 
draweth now nigh unto age. 

5 1 He anfwered me, and faid, Afk a woman that bear- 
eth children, and fhe fhall tell thee. 

5 2 Say unto her, Wherefore are not they whom thou 
haft now brought forth, like thofe that were before, but 
lefs of ftature ? 

53 And fhe fhall anfwer thee, They that be born in 
the ftrength of youth are of one faihion, and they that 
are born in the time of age (when the womb faiieth) are 
otherwife. ' 

54 Confider thou therefore alfo, how that ye are lefs 
of ftature than thofe that were before you. 

55 And fo are they that come after you, lefs than ye, 
as the creatures which now begin to be old, and have 
paffed over the ftrength of youth. 

56 Then faid I, Lord, I befeech thee, if I have found 
favour in thy fight, fhew thy fervant by whom thou vif- 
iteft thy creature. 

CHAP. VI. 

I Efdras is taught that God's purpofe it eternal. 7 The next 
•World Jhall immediately follow this. 1 1 What Jhall fall 
out in the latter times. 

AN D he faid unto me, In the beginning, when the 
|| earth was made, before the borders of the world f^Vesr*** 
ftood, or ever the winds blew, 

2 Before it thundered and lightened, or ever the foun- 
dations of paradife were laid, 

3 Before the fair flowers were fe&n, or ever the move- 
able powers were eftablifhed, before the innumerable mul- 
titude of angels were gathered together, 

4 Or ever the heights of the air were lifted up, before 
the meafures of the firmament were named, or ever the 
chimnies in Sion were hot, 

5 And ere 'the prefent years were fought out, and or 
ever the inventions of them that now fin were turned, 
before they were fealed that have gathered faith for a 
treafure ; 

6 Then did J confider thefe things, and they all were 
made through me alone, and through none other : by me 
alfo they fhall be ended, and by none other. 

7 If Then anfwered I, and faid, What fhall be the 
parting afunder of the times ? or when fhall be the end 
of the firft, and the beginning of it that followeth ? 

8 And he faid unto me, From Abraham unto Ifiac, 
when Jacob and Efau were born of him, a Jacob's hand jGen. 
held || firft the heel of Efau. 1°%^? 

9 For Efau is the end of the world, and Jacob is the ning. 
beginning of it that followeth. 

I o The hand of man is betwixt the heel and the hand : 
other queftion, Efdras, afk thou not. 

I I If I anfwered then, and faid, O Lord that beareft 
rule, If I have found favour in thy fight, 

12 I befeech thee, fhew thy fervant the end of thy 
tokens, whereof thou fhewedft me part the laft night. 

1 3 So he anfwered, and faid unto me, Stand up upon 
thy feet, and hear a mighty founding voice : 

14 And 



Efdras is promifed more knowledge ;

motion ; but 
the place where thou ftandeft fhall not be moved. 

1 5 And therefore, when it fpeaketh, be not afraid : 
for the word is of the end, and the foundation of the 
earth is underftood. 

16 And why ? becaufe the fpeech of thefe things 
trembleth, and is moved : for it knoweth that the end of 
thefe things muft be changed. 

17 And it happened, that when I had heard it, I ftood 
up upon my feet, and hearkened, and, behold, there was 
a voice that fpake, and the found of it was like the found 
of many waters. 

1 8 And it faid, Behold, the days come, that I will begin 
to draw nigh, and to viiit them that dwell upon the earth. 

19 And will begin to make inquifition of them, what 
they be that have hurt unjuftly with their unrighteouf- 
nefs, and when the affliction of Sion fhall be fulfilled ; 

20 And when the world, that fhall begin to vanifh 
away, fhall be || finifhed, then will I fhew thefe tokens : 
the books fhall be opened before the firmament, and they 
fhall fee ail together : 

21 And the children of a year old fhall fpeak with 
their voices, the women with child fhall bring forth un- 
timely children of three or four months old, and they 
fhall live and be raifed up. 

22 And fuddenly fhall the fown places appear unfown, 
the full ftorehoufes fhall fuddenly be found empty : 

23 And the trumpet fhall give a found, which, when 
every man heareth, they fhall be fuddenly afraid. 

24 At that time fhall friends fight one againft another 
like enemies ; and the earth fhall ftand in fear with thole 
that dwell therein ; the fprings of the fountains fhall ftand 
ftill, and in three hours they fhall not run. 

25 Whomever remaineth from all thefe that I have 
told thee, lliall efcape, and fee my falvation, and the end 
of your world. 

26 And the men that are received fhall fee it, who 
have not tafted death from their birth : and the heart 
of the inhabitants fhall be changed, and turned into an- 
other meaning. 

. 27 For evil fhall be put out, and deceit fhall be 
quenched. 

28 As for faith, it fhall flourifh, corruption fhall be 
overcome ; and the truth,, which hath been fo long with- 
out fruit, fhall be declared. 

29 *H And when he talked with me, behold, I looked 
by little and little upon him before whom I ftood. 

30 And thefe words faid he unto me ; I am come to 
fhew thee the time of the night to come. 

3 1 If thou wilt pray yet more, and faft feven days again, 
I fhall tell thee greater things b by day than I have heard. 

32 For thy voice is heard before the molt High : for 
the Mighty hath feen thy righteous dealing, he hath feen 
alfo thy chaftity, which thou haft had ever fince thy youth. 

3 3 And therefore hath he fent me to fhew thee all 
thefe things, and to fay unto thee, Be of good comfort, 
and fear not. 

34 And haften not with the times that are paft,to think 
vain things, that thou mayeft not haften from the latter 
times. 

35 And it came to pafs after this, that I wept again, 
and fafted feven days in like manner, that I might fulfil 
the three weeks which he told me. 

36 11 And in the eighth night was my heart vexed with-

37 For my fpirit was greatly fet on fire, and my foul 
was in diftrefs. 

38 And I faid, O Lord, thou fpakeft from the begin- 
ning of the creation, even the firft day, and faidft thus, 

c Let heaven and earth be made ; and thy word was a c Gen. it. 
perfect work. 

39 And then was the fpirit, and darknefs and filence 
were on every fide ; the found of man's voice was not yet 
formed. 

40 Then commandeft thou a fair light to come forth 
of thy treafures, that thy work might appear. 

41 •Upon the fecond day thou madeft the fpirit of the 
firmament, and commandeft it to part afunder, and to 
make a divifion betwixt the waters, that the one part 
might go up, and the other remain beneath. 

42 Upon the third day thou didft command that the 
waters fhould be gathered in the feventh part of the earth ; 
fix parts haft thou dried up, and kept them, to the intent 
that of thefe fome being planted of God, and tilled, might 
ferve thee. 

43 For as foon as thy word went forth, the work was> 
made. 

44 For immediately there was great and innumerable 
fruit, and many and divers pleafures for the tafte, and 
flowers of unchangeable colour, and odours of wonderful 
fmell ; and this was done the third day. 

45 d Upon the fourth day thou commandeft that the §j°™' - 
fun fhould fhine, and the moon give her light, and the 

ftars fhould be in order ; 

46 And gaveft them a charge to do e fervice unto man e Ge 
that was to be made. Df'uti 

47 Upon the fifth day, thou faidft unto the feventh 4 I9 ' 
part, f where the waters were gathered, that it fhould {<£* 
bring forth living creatures, fowls and fifhes : and fo it 
came to pafs : 

48 For the dumb water, and without life, brought 
forth living things at the commandment of God, that all 
people might praife thy wonderous works. 

49 Then didft thou ordain two living creatures ; the 
one thou calledft || Enoch, and the other Leviathan ; 

50 And didft feparate the one from the other : for the 
feventh part (namely, where the water was gathered 
together) might not hold them both. 

5 1 Unto Enoch thou gaveft one part, which was dried 
up the third day, that he fhould dwell in the fame part, , 
wherein are a thoufand hills : 

5 2 But unto Leviathan thou gaveft the feventh part* 
namely, the moift ; and haft kept him to be devoured of 
whom thou wilt, and when. 

5 3 Upon the fixth day thou gaveft commandment un- 
to the earth, that before thee it fhould bring forth beafts, 
cattle, and creeping things : 

54 And after thefe, Adam alfo, whom thou madeft lord 
of all thy creatures ; of him come we all, and the people 
alio whom thou haft chofen. 

55 All this have I fpoken before thee, O Lord, be- 
caufe thou madeft the world for our fakes. 

56 As for the other people, which alfo come of Adam, 
thou haft faid that they are nothing, but be like unto 
fpittl?, and haft likened the abundance of them unto a ' 
drop that falleth from a veffel.. 

57 And now, O Lord, behold, thefe heathen, which 
have ever been reputed as nothing, have begun to be 
lords over us, and to devour us. 

58 B&t we thy people (whom thou haft called thy firft-

into their hands. 

59 If the world now be made for our fakes, why do 
we not pofiefs an inheritance with the world ? how long 
fhall this endure ? 

CHAP. VII. 

j The entrances cf this -world are narrow and difficult, God's 
judgments accounted for : 26' the manifejlation cf Chrijl 
foretold, his death, refurreclion, and the general judgment : 
36 no interceffion in that day. 

AN D, when I had made an end of fpeaking thefe 
words, there was fent unto me the angel which 
tiad been fent unto me the nights afore : 

2 And he faid unto me, Up, Efdras, and hear the 
words that I am come to tell thee. 

3 And I faid, Speak on, my God. Then faid he unto 
me, The fea is fet in a wide place, that it might be deep 
and great. 

4 But put the cafe the entrance were narrow, and like 
a river. 

5 Who then could go into the fea to look upon it, and 
to rule it ? if he went not through the narrow, hew could 
he come into the broad ? 

6 There is alfo another thing. A city is builded, and 
fet upon a broad field, and is full of all good things : 

7 The entrance thereof is narrow, and is fet in a || dan- 
gerous place to fall, like as if there were a fire on the 
right hand, and on the left a deep water : 

8 And one only path between them both, even between 
the fire and the water, Jo fmall that there could but one 
man go there at once. 

9 If this city now were given unto a man for an in- 
heritance, if he never fhall pafs the danger fet before it, 
how fhall he receive this inheritance ? 

10 And I faid, it is fo, Lord. Then faid he unto me, 
Even fo alfo is Ifrael's portion. 

1 1 Becaufe for their fakes I made the world : and 
when Adam tranfgreffed my liatutes, then was decreed 
that now is done. 

1 2 Then were the entrances of this world made nar- 
row, full of forrow and travail : they are but few and evil, 
full of perils, and very painful. 

13 For the entrances of the || elder world were wide 
and lure, and brought immortal fruit. 

14 If then they that live, labour not to enter thefe ftrait 
and vain things, they can never receive thofe that are laid 
up for them. 

15 Now therefore why difquieteft thou thyfelf, feeing 
thou art but a corruptible man ? and why art thou mov- 
ed, whereas thou art but mortal ? 

16 Why haft thou not confidered in thy mind this 
thing that is to come, rather than that which is prefent ? 

1 7 Then anfwered I, and faid, O Lord, that beareft 
rule, thou haft ordained in thy a law, that the righteous 
fhould inherit thefe things, but that the ungodly fhould 
perifli. 

1 8 Neverthelefs, the righteous fhall fuffer ftrait things, 
and hope for wide.: for they that have done wickedly, have 
fuffered the ftrait things, and yet fhall not fee the wide. 

1 9 And he faid unto me, There is no judge above God, 
and none that hath underftanding above the Higheft. 

" 20 For there be many that perifli in this life, becaufe 
they defpife the law of God that is fet before them. 
21 For God hath given ftrait commandment to fuch

as came, what they fhould do to live, even as they came, 
and what they fhould obferve to avoid punifhment. 

22 Neverthelefs, they were not obedient unto him ; 
but fpake againft him, and imagined vain things ; 

23 And deceived themfelves by their wicked deeds ; 
and faid of the moft High, that he is not ; and knew not 
his ways : 

24 But his law have they defpifed, and denied his cov- 
enants ; in his ftatutes have they not been faithful, and 
have not performed his works. 

25 And therefore, Efdras, for the empty are empty 
things, and for the full are the full things. 

26 5f Behold, the time fhall come, that thefe tokens 
which I have told thee fhall come to pafs, and the bride 
fhall appear, and fhe coming forth fhall be feen, that now 
is withdrawn from the earth. 

27 And whofoever is delivered from the forefaid evils, 
fhall fee my wonders. 

28 For my Son Jefus fhall be revealed with thofe that 
be with him, and they that remain fhall rejoice within 
four hundred years. 

29 After thefe years fhall my Son Chrift die, and all 
men that have life. 

30 And the world fhall be turned into the old filence 
feven days, like as in the |j former judgments : fo that no 
man fhall remain. 

3 1 And after feven days, the world that vet awaketh 
not, fhall be raifed up, and that fhall die that is corrupt. 

32 And the earth fhall reftore thofe that are afleep in 
her, and fo fhall the dufi thofe that dwell in filence, and 
the fecret places fhall deliver thofe fouls that were com- 
mitted unto them. 

33 And the moft High fhall appear upon the feat of 
judgment, and mifery fhall pafs away, and the long fuf- 
fering fhall have an end. 

34 But judgment only fhall remain, truth fhall fland, 
and faith fhall wax ftrong : 

35 And the work fhall follow, and the reward fhall be 
fhewed, and the good deeds fhall be of force, and wicked 
deeds fhall bear no rule. 

36 f Then faid I, b Abraham prayed firft for the Sod- 
omites, and c Mofes for the fathers that finned in the wil- 
dernefs : 

3 7 And Jefus after him for Ifrael, in the time of || A- 1 or, Actor. 
chan : 

38 And Samuel, and d David for the deftruction : and 
e Solomon for them that fhould come to the fanctuary : 

39 And r Helias for thofe that received rain, and for 
the dead, that he might live : 

40 And s Ezechias for the people in the time of Sen- 
nacherib •, and many for many. 

41 Even fo now, feeing corruption is grown up, and 
wickednefs increafed, and the righteous have prayed for 
the ungodly ; wherefore fhall it not be fo now alfo ? 

42 He anfwered me, and faid, This prefent life is not 
the end where much glory doth abide ; therefore have 
they prayed for the weak. 

43 But the day of doom fhall be the end of this time, 
and the beginning of the immortality for to come, where- 
in corruption is paft, 

44 Intemperance is at an end, infidelity is cut off", right- 
eoufnefs is grown, and truth is fprung up. 

45 Then fhall no man be able to five him that is dc- 
ftroyed, nor to opprefs him that hath gotten the victory.

laft faying, that it had been better not to have given the 
earth unto Adam ; or elfe, when it was given him, to 
have reflrained him from finning. 

47 For what profit is it for men now in this prefent 
time to live in heavinefs, and after death to look for pun- 
ifhment ? 

48 O thou Adam, what haft thou done ? for though 
it was h thou that finned, thou art not fallen alone, but 
we all that come of thee. 

49 For what profit is it unto us, if there be promifed 
us an immortal time, whereas we have done the works 
that bring death ? 

50 And that there is promifed us an everlafting hope, 
whereas ourfelves being moft wicked are made vain ? 

5 1 And that there are laid up for us dwellings of health 
and fafety, whereas we have lived wickedly ? 

5 2 And that the glory of the moft High is kept to de- 
fend them which have led |[ a wary life, whereas we have 
walked in the moft wicked ways of all ? 

53 And that there fhould be fhewed a paradife, whofe 
fruit endureth forever, wherein is || fecurity and medicine, 
fince we {hall not enter into it ? 

54 (For we have walked in uhpleafant places,) 

5 5 And that the faces of them which have ufed abftin- 
ence fhall fhine above the ftars, whereas our faces fhall 
je blacker than darknefs ? 

$6 For while we lived and committed iniquity, we con- 
fidered not that we fhould begin to fufFer for it after death. 

5 7 Then anfwered he me, and faid, This is the || con- 
dition of the battle, which man that is born upon the 
earth, fhall fight ; 

53 That, if he be overcome, he fhall fuffer as thou 
haft faid : but if he get the victory, he fhall receive the 
thing that I fay ; 

59 For this is the life whereof Mofes fpake unto the 
people while he lived, faying, ' Choofe thee life, that thou 
mayeft live. 

60 Neverthelefs, they believed not him, nor yet the 
prophets after him ; no, nor me which have fpoken unto 
them, 

61 That there fhould not be fuch heavinefs in their 
deftruction, as fhall be joy over them that are perfuaded 
to falvation. 

62 ^ I anfwered then, and faid, I know, Lord, that 
the moft High is called merciful, in that he hath mercy 
upon them which are not yet come into the world, 

63 And upon thofe alfo that turn to his law ; 

64 And that k he is patient, and long fuffereth thofe 
that have finned, as his creatures ; 

65 And that he is bountiful, for he is ready to give 
where it needeth ; 

66 And that he is of great mercy, for he multiplieth 
more and more mercies to them that are prefent, and that 
are paft, and alfo to them which are to come. 

67 For if he fhall not multiply his mercies, the world 
would not continue with them that inherit therein. 

68 And he pardoneth ; for if he did not fo of his 
goodnefs, that they which have committed iniquities 
might be eafed of them, the ten thoufandth part of" men 
fhould not remain living. 

6g And being judge, if he fhould not forgive them 
that are || cured with his word, and put out the multitude 
of || contentions, 

70 There fhould be very few left, peradventure, in an 
innumerable multitude.

CHAP. VIII. 

1 Many created, but few faved. 4 Efdras expojiulateth 
with God, and prayeth fir his people. 46 Good will be to- 
him, C3Y. but evil to the wicked. 

AN D he anfwered me, faying, The moft High hath 
made this world for many, but the world to come 
for few. 

2 I will tell thee a fimilitude, Efdras ; As when thou 
afkeft the earth, it fhall fay unto thee, that it giveth much 
mould whereof earthen veffels are made, but little duft 
that gold cometh of : even fo is the courfe of this prefent 
world. 

3 a There be many created, but few fhall be faved. 

4 If So anfwered I, and faid, Swallow then down, O 
my foul, underftanding, and devour wifdom. 

5 For thou haft agreed to give ear, and art willing to 
prophefy : for thou haft no longer fpace than only to live. 

6 O Lord, if thou fuffer not thy fervant, that we may 
pray before thee, and || thou give us feed unto our heart, 
and culture to our underftanding, that there may come 
fruit of it •, how fhall each man live that is corrupt, who 
beareth the place of a man ? 

7 For thou art alone, and we all one wcrkmanfhip of 
thine hands, like as thou haft faid. 

8 For || when the body is fafhioned now in the moth- 
er's womb, and thou giveft it members, thy creature is pre- 
ferved in fire and water, and nine months doth thy work- 
manfhip endure thy creature which is created in her. 

9 But that which keepeth, and is kept, fhall both be 
preferved ; and when the time cometh, the womb pre- 
ferved, delivereth up the things that grew in it. 

10 For thou haft commanded out of the parts of the 
body, that is to fay, out of the breafts, milk to be given, 
which is the fruit of the breafts, 

1 1 That the thing which is fafhioned, may be nourifh- 
ed for a time, till thou difpofeft it to thy mercy. 

12 Thou broughteft it up with thy righteoufnefs, and 
nurturedft it in thy law, and reformedft it with thy judg- 
ment. 

1 3 And thou flialt mortify it as thy creature, and quick* 
en it as thy work. 

14 If therefore thou fhalt deftroy him which with fo 
great b labour was fafhioned, it is an eafy thing to be or- 
dained by thy commandment, that the thing which was 
made might be preferved. 

1 5 Now therefore, Lord, I will fpeak (touching man' 
in general, thou knoweft beft,) but touching thy people, 
for whofe fake I am forry ; 

1 6 And for thine inheritance, for whofe caufe I mourn j 
and for Ifrael, for whom I am heavy j and for Jacob, for 
whofe fake I am troubled ; 

1 7 Therefore will I begin to pray before thee, for my- 
felf and for them ; for I fee the falls of us that dwell in 
the land. 

1 8 But I have heard the fwiftnefs of the judge which 
is to come. 

19 Therefore hear my voice, and underftand my words, 
and I fhall fpeak before thee. This is the beginning of 
the words of Efdras, before he was taken up ; and I faid, 

20 O Lord, thou tha£dwelleft in everlaftingnefs, which 
beholdeft from above things in the heaven, and in the air ; 

2 1 Whofe throne is ineftimable, whofe glory may not 
be comprehended ; before whom the hofts of angels ftand

22 Whofe fervice is converfant in wind and fire ; j| 
whofe word is true, and fayings conftant ; whofe com- 
mandment is ftrong, and ordinance fearful ; 

23 Whofe look drieth up the depths, and indignation 
maketh the mountains to melt away ; which the truth 
witneffeth : 

24 O hear the prayer of thy fervant, and give ear to 
the petition of thy creature : 

25 For while I live, I will fpeak ; and fo long as I have 
underftanding, I will anfwer. 

26 O look not upon the fins of thy people •, but on 
them which ferve thee in truth. 

27 Regard not the wicked inventions of the heathen, 
but the defire of thofe that keep thy teftimonies in afflic- 
tions. 

28 Think not upon thofe that have walked feignedly 
before thee : but remember them, which, according to 
thy will, have known thy fear. 

' 29 Let it not be thy will to deftroy them which have 
lived like beafts ; but to look upon them that have clear- 
ly taught thy law. 

30 Take thou no indignation at them which are deem- 
ed worfe than beafts ; but love them that alway put their 
truft in thy righteoufhefs and glory.

3 2 For if thou |j haft a defire to have mercy upon us, 
thou fhalt be called merciful, to us namely, that have no 
works of righteoufnefs. 

33 For the juft, which have many good works laid up 
with thee, fhall out of their own deeds receive reward. 

34 For what is man, that thou fhouldeft take difpleaf- 
ure at him ? or what is a corruptible generation, that thou 
fhouldeft be fo bitter toward it ? 

35 c For in truth, there is no man among them that be 
born, but he hath dealt wickedly ; and among the faith- 
ful there is none which hath not done amifs. 

36 For in this, O Lord, thy righteoufnefs and thy 
goodnefs fhall be declared, if thou be merciful unto them 
which have not the [| confidence of good works. 

37 51 Then anfwered heme, and faid, Some things 
haft thou fpoken aright, and according unto thy words 
it fhall be. 

38 For indeed I will not think on the difpofition of 
them which have finned before death, before judgment, 
before deftrucTion ; 

39 But d I will rejoice over the difpofition of the right- 
eous, and I will remember alfo their pilgrimage, and the 
falvation, and the reward, that they fhall have. 

40 Like as I have fpoken now, fo fhall it come to pafs. 

41 For as the hufbandman foweth much feed upon the 
ground, and planteth many trees, and yet the thing that 
is fown good in his feafon cometh not up, neither doth 
all that is planted take root ; even fo is it of them that 
are fown in the world, they fhall not all be faved. 

42 % I anfwered then, and faid, If I have found grace, 
let me fpeak. 

43 Like as the hufband man's feed perifheth, if it come 
not up, and receive not thy rain in due feafon •, or if there 
come too much rain, and corrupt it : 

44 Even fo perifheth man alfo, which is formed with 
thy hands, and is called thine own image, becaufe thou art 
like unto him, for whofe fake thou haft made all things, 
and likened him unto the hufbandman's feed. 



P. IX. Who Jh all be faved, and who not. 

45 Be not wroth with us, but fpare thy people, and 
have mercy upon thine own inheritance : for thou art 
merciful unto thy creature. 

46 f Then anfwered he me, and faid, Things prefent 
are for the prefent, and things to come for fuch as be to 
come. 

47 For thou comeft far fhort, that thou fhouldeft be 
able to love my creature more than I ; but I have oft- 
times drawn nigh unto thee, and unto it, but never to the 
unrighteous. 

48 In this alfo thou art marvellous before the moft 
High ; 

49 In that thou haft humbled thyfelf as it becometh 
thee, and haft not judged thyfelf worthy to be much glo- 
rified among the righteous : 

50 For many great miferies fhall be done to them that 
in the latter time fhall dwell in the world, becaufe they 
have walked in great pride. 

5 1 But underftand thou for thyfelf, and feek out the 
glory for fuch as be like thee. 

52 For unto you is paradife opened, the tree of life is 
planted, the time to come is. prepared, plenteoufnefs is 
made ready, a city is builded, and reft is allowed, yea, 
perfect goodnefs and wifdom. 

53 The root of evil is fealed up from you, weaknefs 
and the moth is hid from you, and corruption is fled into 

11 hell to be forgotten : ■*■#■ 

54 Sorrows are paffed, and in the end is fhewed the 
treafure of immortality. 

55 And therefore afk thou no more queftions concern- 
ing the multitude of them that perifh. 

56 For when they had taken liberty, they defpifed the 
moft High, thought fcorn of his law, and forfook his ways. 

57 Moreover, they have trodden down his righteous, 

58 And e faid in their heart, that there is no God ; yea, « p ^' £ s 
and that knowing they muft die. sj ». 

59 For as the things aforefaid fhall receive you, fo 
thirft and pain are prepared for them : for it was not his 
will that men fhould come to nought : 

60 But they which be created have defiled the name 
of him that made them, and were unthankful unto him 
which prepared life for them : 

61 And therefore is my judgment now at hand. 

62 Thefe things have I not fhewed unto all men, but un- 
to thee, and a few like thee. Then anfwered I, and faid, 

63 Behold, O Lord, now haft thou fhewed me the mul- 
titude of the wonders which thou wilt begin to do in the 
laft times : but at what time, thou haft not fhewed me. 

CHAP. IX. 

I Efdras is taught who flail be faved, and ivho not. 14 He 
replieih, and is told that the world is corrupted, ts?C 

HE anfwered me then, and faid, Meafure thou the 
time, diligently in itfelf : and when thou feeft part 
of the figns paft, which I have told thee before, 

2 Then fhalt thou underftand, that it is the very fame 
time wherein the Higheft will begin to vilit the world 
which he made. 

3 Therefore, when there fhall be feen a earthquakes aMatth; 
and uproars of the people in the world, 

4 Then fhalt thou well underftand, that the moft High 
fpake of thofe things from the days that were before thee, 
even from the beginning. 

5 For like as all that is made in the world hath a be- 
ginning and an end, and the end is manifeft ; 

6 Even 



Efdras talketh to the mojh High. II. E S 

6 Even fo the times alfo of the Higheft have plain be- 
ginnings in wonders and powerful works, and endings in 
effects and figns. 

7 And every one that fliall be faved, and fhall be able 
to efcape by his works, and by faith, whereby ye have be- 
lieved, 

8 Shall be preferved from the faid perils, and fhall fee 
my falvation in my land, and within my borders : for I 
have fandlified them for me from the beginning. 

%°ihma,Z-:i 9 Then || fhall they be in pitiful cafe, which now have 
abufed my ways : and they that have caft them away def- 
pitefully, fliall dwell in torments. 

i o For fuch as in their life have received benefits, and 
have not known me ; 

1 1 And they that have lothed my law while they had 
yet liberty, and when as yet place of repentance was open 
unto them, underftood not, but defpifed it ; 

12 The fame muft know it after death by pain. 

1 3 And therefore be thou not curious how the ungod- 
ly fhall be punifhed, and when : but inquire how the 
righteous fliall be faved, whofe the world is, and for whom 
the world is created. 

14 If Then anfwered I, and faid, 

1 5 I have faid before, and now do fpeak, and will fpeak 
it alfo hereafter, that there be many more of them which 
perifli than of them which fhall be faved ; 

16 Like as a wave is greater than a drop. 

17 And he anfwered me, faying, Like as the field is, 
fo is alfo the feed ; ■ as the flowers be, fuch are the colours 
alfo j fuch as the workman is, fuch alfo is the work ; and 
as the hufbandman is himfelf, fo is his hufbandry alfo : 
for it was the time of the world. 

\ieaufe°the x 3 |] And now, when I prepared the world which was

wbutwhtn ©f them which are created in this world that is made, are 

■uMLmade, corrupted by a perpetual feed, and by a law which is un- 

andfbcn, fearchable, rid themfelves. 



20 So I considered the world, and, behold, there was 



tbs manners 
cf every one 

'corrupted" P er ''j becaufe of the devices that were come into it. 
faiiingTar- 2 r J ^ nc ^ ^ ^ aw ' anc * fp are d it greatly, and have kept me

great labour have I made it perfect. 

23 Neverthelefs, if thou wilt ceafe yet feven days more, 
(but thou fhalt not faft in them, 

24 But go into a field of flowers, where no houfe is 
builded, and eat only the flowers of the field ; tafte no 
flefii, drink no wine, but eat flowers only,) 

25 And pray unto the Higheft continually, then will I 
come and talk with thee. 

16 So I went my way into the field which is called Ar- 
dath, like as he commanded me ; and there I fat among 
the flowers, and did eat of the herbs of the field, and the 
meat of the fame fatisfied me. 

27 After feven days I fat upon the grafs, and my heart 
was vexed within me, like as before. 

28 And I opened my mouth, and began to talk before 
the mod High, and faid, 

b Exodus 29 O Lord, thou that fheweft thyfelf unto us, thou 

waft b fhewed unto our fathers in the wildernefs, in a 
place where no man || treadeth, in a barren place, when 
they came out of Egypt.

D R A S. The woman fheweth the caufe of her grief, 
30 And thou fpakeft, faying, Hear me, O Ifrael ; and 

mark my words, thou feed of Jacob : 

3 1 _ For, behold, I fow my law in you, and it fhall bring 

fruit in you, and ye fhall be honoured in it forever. 

32 But our fathers which received the law, kept it not, 
and obferved not thy ordinances ; and though the fruit of 
thy law did not perifh, neither could it, for it was thine ; 

33 Yet they that received it perifhed, becaufe they 
kept not the thing that was fown in them. 

34 And, lo, it is a cuftom, when the ground hath re- 
ceived feed, or the fea a fhip, or any veffel meat or drink, 
that, that being perifhed wherein it was fown or caft into, 

35 That thing alfo which was fown, or caft therein, or 
received, doth perifh, and remaineth not with us : but 
with us it hath not happened fo. 

36 For we that have received the law perifh by fin, and 
our heart alfo which received it. 

3 7 Notwithftanding, the law perifhetb not, but 're- 
maineth in his force. 

38 If And, when I .fpake thefe things in my heart, I 
looked back with mine eyes, and upon the right fide I faw 
a woman, and, behold, fhe mourned and wept with a loud 
voice, and was much grieved in heart, and her clothes 
were rent, and fhe had afhes upon her head. 

39 Then let I my thoughts go that I was in, and turn- 
ed me unto her, 

40 And faid unto her, Wherefore weepeft thou ? why 
art thou fo grieved in thy mind ? 

4 1 And fhe faid unto me, Sir, let me alone, that I may 
bewail myfelf, and add unto my forrow, for I am fore vex- 
ed in my mind, and brought very low. 

42 And I faid unto her, What aileth thee ? tell me. 

43 She faid unto me, I thy fervant have been barren, 
and had no child, though I had an hufband thirty years. 

44 And thofe thirty years I did nothing elfe day and 
night, and every hour, but make my prayer to the Higheft. 

45 After thirty years God heard me thine handmaid, 
looked upon my mifery, confidered my trouble, and gave 
me a fon : and I was very glad of him, fo was my huf- 
band alfo, and all my neighbours ; and we gave great 
honour unto the Almighty. 

46 And I nourifhed him with great travail. 

47 So when he grew up, and came to the time that he 
fhould have a wife, I made a feaft.

fecond day at night. 

3 And it came to pafs, when they had all left off to 
comfort me, to the end I might be quiet ; then rofe I up 
by night and fled, and came hither into this field, as thou 
feeft. 

4 And I do now purpofe not to return into the city, 
but here to ftay, and neither to eat nor drink, but con- 
tinually to mourn and to faft until I die. 

c f Then left I the II meditations wherein I was, and jo* 
fpake to her in anger, faying, 

6 Thou foolifh woman above all other, feeft thou not 
our mourning, and what happeneth unto us ?

She vanijheth away, C H A 

7 How that Sion our mother is full of all heavinefs, 
and much humbled, mourning very fore ? 

8 And now, feeing we all mourn and are fad, for we 
are all in heavinefs, art thou grieved for one fon ? 

9 For aik the earth and fhe ihall tell thee, that it is fhe 
which ought to mourn for the fall of fo many that grow 
upon her. 

io For out of her came all at the firft, and out of her 
fhall all others come, and, behold, they walk almoft all 
into deftruclion, and a multitude of them is utterly || root- 
ed out. 

1 1 Who then fhould make more mourning, than fhe 
that hath loft fo great a multitude, and not thou, which 
art forry but for one ? 

1 2 But if thou fayeft unto me, My lamentation is not 
like the earth's, becaufe I have loft the fruit of my womb, 
which I brought forth with pains, and bare with forrows ; 

13 || But the earth not fo : for the multitude prefent in 
it, according to the courfe of the earth, is gone as it came. 

14 Then fay I unto thee, Like as thou haft brought 
forth with labour ; even fo the earth alfo hath given her 
fruit, namely, man, ever fince the beginning, unto him 
that made her. 

1 5 Now, therefore, keep thy forrow to thyfelf, and 
bear with a good courage that which hath befallen thee. 

16 For if thou fhalt acknowledge the determination of 
God to be juft, thou fhalt both receive thy fon in time, 
and fhalt be commended among women. 

1 7 Go thy way then into the city to thine hufband. 

18 And fhe faid unto me, That will I not do : I will 
not go into the city, but here will I die. 

19 So I proceeded to fpeak further unto her, and faid, 

20 Do not fo, but be counfelled by me : for how ma- 
ny are the adverfities of Sion ? be comforted, in regard of 
the forrow of Jerufalem. 

21 For thou feeft that our fanftuary is laid wafte, our 
altar broken down, our temple deftroyed : 

22 Our pfaltery is laid on the ground, our fong is put 
to filence, our rejoicing is at an end, the light of our can- 
dleftick is put out, the ark of our covenant is fpciled, our 
holy things are defiled, and the name that is called upon 
us is almoft profaned : our children are put to fhame, our 
priefts are burnt, our Levites are gone into captivity, our 
virgins are defiled, and our wives ravifhed ; our righteous 
men carried away, our little ones deftroyed, our young 
men are brought in bondage, and our ftrong men are be- 
come weak ; 

23 And, which is the greateft of all, the feal of Sion 
hath now loft her honour ; for fhe is delivered into the 
hands of them that hate us. 

24 And therefore fhake off thy great heavinefs, and 
put away the multitude of forrows, that the Mighty may 
be merciful unto thee again, and the Higheft lhall give 
thee reft, and eafe from thy labour. 

25 5f And it came to pals, while I was talking with 
her, behold, her face upon a fudden fhined exceedingly, 
and her countenance gliftered, fo that I was afraid of her, 
and mufed what it might be. 

26 And, behold, fuddenly fhe made a great cry, very 
fearful •, fo that the earth fhook at the noife of the woman. 

27 And I looked, and, behold, the woman appeared 
unto me no more % but there was a city builded, and a 
large place fhewed itfelf from the foundations : then was 
I afraid, and cried with a loud voice, and faid, 

28 f Where is a Uriel the angel, who came unto mt 
at the firft ? for he hath caufed me to fall || into many

I Or, into

P. X. The angel declareth the vifion, 

trances, and mine end is turned into corruption, and my 
prayer to rebuke, 

29 And as I was fpeaking thefe words, behold, he came 
unto me, and looked upon me. 

30 And, lo, I lay as one that had been dead, and 
mine underftanding was taken from me : and he took 
me by the right hand, and comforted me, and fet me 
upon my feet, and faid unto me, 

3 1 What aileth thee ? and why art thou fo difquiet- 
ed ? and why is thine underftanding troubled, and the 
thoughts of thine heart ? 

32 And I faid, becaufe thou haft forfaken me, and yet 

I did according to thy b words, and I went into the field, b Chn P< 
and, lo, I have feen, and yet fee, that I am not able to 
exprefs. 

33 And he faid unto me, Stand up manfully, and I- 
will. advife thee. 

34 Then faid I, Speak on, my Lord, in me ; only for- 
fake me not, left I die fruftrate of my hope. 

35 For I have feen that I knew not, and hear that I 
do not know. 

36 Or is my fenfe deceived, or my foul in a dream ? 

37 Now, therefore, I befeech thee, that thou wilt 
fhew thy fervant of this || vifion. nance. 

3 8 He anfwered me then, and faid, Hear me, and I fhall 
inform thee, and tell thee wherefore thou art afraid : for 
the Higheft will reveal many, fecret things unto thee. 

39 He hath feen that thy || way is right ; for that thou ''JSJja 
forroweft continually for thy people, and makeft great 
lamentation for Sion. 

40 This therefore is the meaning of the vifion which 
thou lately faweft : 

41 Thou faweft a woman mourning, and thou began- 
neft to comfort her : 

42 But now feeft thou the likenefs of the woman no 
more, but there appeared unto thee a city builded. 

43 And whereas fhe told thee of the death of her fon ; 

this- is the || folution : J 1 , -,!"' 

44 This woman, whom thou faweft, is Sion : and tatim. 
whereas fhe faid xxato thee, (even fhe whom thou feeft as 

a city builded,) 

45 Whereas, I fay, fhe faid unto thee, that fhe hath 
been thirty years barren : thole are the thirty years 
wherein there was no offering made in her. 

46 But after thirty years, Solomon builded the city, 
and offered offerings ; and then bare the barren a fon. 

47 And whereas fhe told thee that fhe nourifhed him 
with labour ; that was the dwelling in Jerufalem. 

48 But whereas fhe faid unto thee, that my fon, coming. 
into his marriage chamber, happened to have a fall and 
died ; thiswas the deftruclion that came to Jerufalem. 

49 And, behold, thou faweft her likenefs ; and be- 
caufe fhe mourned for her fon, thou beganneft to comfort 
her ; and of thefe things which have chanced, thefe are 
to be opened unto thee. 

50 For now the moll High feeth that thou art grieved 
unfeignedly, and fuffereft from thy whole heart for her, 
fo hath he fhewed thee the brightnefs of her glory, and 
the comelinefs of her beauty : 

5 1 And therefore I bade thee remain in the field, 
where no houfe was builded : 

52 For I knew that the Higheft would fhew this unto 
hee. 

53. Therefore I commanded thee to go into the field, 
where no foundation of any building was. 

54 For in the place wherein the Higheft beginneth

to fee : 

56 And then fhalt thou hear as much as thine ears may

CHAP. XL 

I I He feeth in his dream an eagle coming out of the fea, 3 7 
and a lion out of a wood talking to the eagle. 

THEN faw I a dream, and, behold, there came up 
from the fea an eagle, which had twelve feathered 
wings, and three heads. 

2 And I faw, and, behold, fhe fpread her wings over 
all the earth, and all the winds of the air blew on her, 
and were gathered together. 

3 And I beheld, and out of her feathers there grew 
other contrary feathers j and they became little feathers 
and fmall. 

4 But her heads were at reft : the head in the midft was 
#Lat./b*. greater than the other, yet refted * it with the refidue. 

5 Moreover, I beheld, and, lo, the eagle flew with her 
feathers, and reigned upon earth, and over them that 
dwelt therein. 

6 And I faw that all things under heaven were fubje<ft 
unto her, and no man fpake againft her, no, not one crea- 
ture upon earth. 

7 And I beheld, and, lo, the eagle rofe upon her tal- 
ons, and fpake to her feathers, faying, 

8 Watch not all at once : fleep every one in his own 
place, and watch by courfe : 

9 But let the heads be preferred for the laft. 

I o And I beheld, and, lo, the voice went not out of 
her heads, but from the midft of her body. 

I I And I numbered her contrary feathers, and, be- 
hold, there were eight of them. 

12 And I looked, and, behold, on the right fide there 
arofe one feather, and reigned over all the earth ; 

13 And fo it was, that when it reigned, the end of it 
came, and the place thereof appeared no more ; fo the 
next following flood up, and reigned, and had a great 
time ; 

14 And it happened, that when it reigned, the end 
of it came alfo, like as the firft, fo that it appeared no 
more. 

15 Then came there a voice unto it, and faid, 

16 Hear, thou that haft borne rule over the earth fo 
long •, this I fay unto thee, before thou beginneft to ap- 
pear no more, 

1 7 There fhall none after thee attain unto thy time, 
neither unto the half thereof. 

1 8 Then arofe the third, and reigned as the other be- 
fore, and appeared no more alfo. 

19 So went it with all the refidue one after another, 
as that every one reigned and then appeared no more. 

20 Then I beheld, and, lo, in procefs of time, the 
feathers that followed ftood up upon the right fide, that 



R A S. an eagle and a tion, 

they might rule alfo ; and fome of them ruled, but with- 
in a while they appeared no more. 

21 For fome of them were fet up, but ruled not. 

22 After this I looked, and, behold, the twelve feath- 
ers appeared no more, nor the two little feathers : 

23 And there was no more upon the eagle's body, but 
three heads that refted, and fix little wings. 

24 Then faw I alfo, that two little feathers divided 
themfelves from the fix, and remained under the head 
that was upon the right fide : for the four continued in 
their place. 

25 And I beheld, and, lo, the feathers that were un- 
der the wing, thought to fet up themfelves, and to have 
the rule. 

16 And I beheld, and, lo, there was one fet up, but 
fhortly it appeared no more. 

27 And the fecond was fooner away than the firft. 

28 And I beheld, and, lo, the two that remained 
thought alfo in themfelves to reign : 

29 And when they fo thought, behold, there awaked 
one of the heads that were at reft, namely, it that was in 
the midft ; for that was greater than the two other heads. 

30 And then I faw that the two other heads were 
joined with it. 

3 1 And, behold, the head was turned with them that 
were with it, and did eat up the two feathers under the 
wing that would have reigned. 

32 But this head put the whole earth in fear, and bare 
rule in it over all thofe that dwelt upon the earth with 
much oppreffion ; and it had the governance of the world 
more than all the wings that had been. 

33 And after this, I beheld, and, lo, the head that was 
in the midft fuddenly appeared no more, like as the wings. 

34 But there remained the two heads, which alfo in 
like fort ruled upon the earth, and over thofe that dwelt 
therein. 

3 5 And I beheld, and, lo, the head upon the right fide 
devoured it that was upon the left fide. 

36 Then I heard a voice, which faid unto me, Look 
before thee, and confider the thing that thou feeft. 

3 7 H And I beheld, and, lo, as it were a roaring lion 
chafed out of the wood : and I faw that he fent out a 
man's voice unto the eagle, and faid, 

38 Hear thou, I will talk with thee, and the Higheft 
fhall fay unto thee, 

39 Art not thou it that remaineft of the four beafts, 
whom I made to reign in my world, that the end of their 
times might come through them ? 

40 And the fourth came, and overcame all the beafts 
that were paft, and had power over the world with great 
fearfulnefs, and over the whole compafs of the earth with 
much wicked oppreffion ; and fo long time dwelt he upon 
the earth with deceit. 

4 1 For the earth haft thou not judged with truth. 

42 For thou haft afflicted the meek, thou haft hurt the 
peaceable, thou haft loved liars, and deftroyed the dwell- 
ings of them that brought forth fruit, and haft caft down 
the walls of fuch as did thee no harm. 

43 Therefore is thy wrongful dealing come up unto 
the Higheft, and thy pride unto the, Mighty. 

44 The Higheft alfo hath looked' upon the proud 
times, and, behold, they are ended, and his abominations 
are fiulfilled. 

45 And therefore appear no more, thou eagle, nor 
thy horrible wings, nor thy wicked feathers, nor thy ma- 
licious

46 That all the earth may be refrefhed, and may re-

her. 

CHAP. XII. 

1 The eagle is dejiroyed. 7 Efdras prayeth : 10 the vifion 
is interpreted to him : 37 he is bid to write his vifwns, and 
to ivaitfor more, CSV. 

N D it came to pafs, whiles the lion fpake thefe 

words unto the eagle, I faw, 

» And, behold, the head that remained, and the four 

wings, appeared no more, and the two went unto it, and 

fet themfelves up to reign, and their kingdom was fmall, 

and full of uproar. 

3 And I faw, and, behold, they appeared no more, and 
the whole body of the eagle was burnt, fo that the earth 
was in great fear : then awaked I out of the trouble and 
trance of my mind, and from great fear, and faid unto my 
fpirit, 

4 Lo, this haft thou done unto me, in that thou fearch- 
eft out the ways of the Higheft. 

5 Lo, yet am I weary in my mind, and very weak in 
my fpirit j and little ftrength is there in me, for the great 
fear wherewith I was affrighted this night. 

6 Therefore will I now befeech the Higheft, that he 
will comfort me unto the end. 

7 f And I faid, Lord that beareft rule, if I have found 
grace before thy fight, and if I am juftified with thee, be- 
fore many others, and if my prayer indeed be come up 
before thy face ; 

8 Comfort me then, and fhew me thy fervant the in- 
terpretation, and plain difference of this fearful vifion, 
that thou mayeft perfectly comfort my foul. 

9 For thou haft judged me worthy to fhew me the laft 
times. 

I o ^f And he faid unto me, This is the interpretation 
of the vifion : 

I I The eagle, whom thou faweft come up from the, 
fea, is the kingdom which was feen in the a vifion of thy 
brother Daniel. 

1 2 But it was not expounded unto him, therefore now 
I declare it unto thee. 

13 Behold, the days will come, that there fliall rife up 
a kingdom upon earth, and it fhall be feared above all the 
kingdoms that were before it. 

14 In the lame fliall twelve kings reign, one after an- 
other : 

15 Whereof the fecond fliall begin to reign, and fliall 
have more time than any of the twelve. 

16 And this do the twelve wings fignify, which thou 
faweft. 

1 7 As for the voice which thou heardeft fpeak, and 
that thou faweft not to go out from the heads, but from 
the midft of the body thereof, this is the interpretation : 

18 That after the time of that kingdom, there fliall 
arife great drivings, and it fliall ftand in peril of falling : 
neverthelefs it fhall not then fall, but fhall be reftored 
again to his beginning. 

1 9 And whereas, thou faweft the eight fmall under 
feathers flicking to her wings, this is the interpretation : 

20 That in, him there fliall arife eight kings, whofe 
times fhall be but fmall, and their years fwift. 

2 1 And two of them fliall perifli : the middle time 
D 



P. XII. . who is bid to write his vifions* 

approaching, four fliall be kept until their end begin to 
approach ; but two fhall be kept unto the end. 

22 And whereas thou faweft three heads refting, this 
is the interpretation : 

23 In his laft days fliall the moft High raife up three 
kingdoms, and renew many things therein, and they fliall 
have the dominion of the earth, 

24 And of thofe that dwell therein, with much op- 
preflion, above all thofe that were before them : there- 
fore are they called the heads of the eagle. 

25 For thefe are they that fhall accomplifh his wick- 
ednefs, and that fhall finifh his laft end. 

26 And whereas thou faweft that the great head ap- 
peared no more, it fignifieth, that one of them fliall die 
upon his bed, and yet with pain. 

2 7 For the two that remain fhall be flain with the fword. 

28 For the fword of the one fliall devour the other : 
but at the laft fhall he fall through the fword himfelf. 

29 And whereas thou faweft two feathers under the 
wings, palling over the head that is on the right fide ; 

30 It fignifieth, that thefe are they whom the Higheft 
hath kept unto their end : this is the fmall kingdom, and 
full of trouble, as thou faweft. 

3 1 And the lion, whom thou faweft rifing up out of 
the wood, and roaring, and fpeaking to the eagle, and re- 
Silking her for her unrighteoufnefs, with all the words 
which thou haft heard ; 

3 2 This is the * anointed which the Higheft hath kept *,?;;$■ . 
for them, and for their wickednefs, unto the end : he fliall fs irit ' 
reprove them, and fhall upbraid them w>th their cruelty. 

33 For he fliall fet them before him alive in judgment, 
and fhall rebuke them, and correct them. 

34 For the reft of my people fliall he deliver with 
mercy, thofe that have been preferved upon my borders, 
and he fhall make them joyful until the coming of the day 
of judgment, whereof I have fpoken unto thee from the 
beginning. 

35 This is the dream that thou faweft, and thefe are 
the interpretations. 

36 Thou only haft been meet to know this fecret of 
the Higheft. 

37 ^f Therefore write all thefe things that thou haft 
feen in a book, and hide them : 

38 And teach them to the wife of the people, whofe 
hearts thou knov.eft may comprehend and keep thefe 
fecrets. 

39 But wait thou here thyfelf yet feven days more, that 
it may be fhewed thee whatfoever it pleafeth the Higheft 
to declare unto thee. And with that he went his way. 

40 <j[ And it came to pafs, when all the people faw that 
the feven days were paft, and I not come again into the 
city, they gathered them all together, from the leaft unto 
the greateft, and came unto me, and faid, 

41 What have we offended thee, and what evil have 
we done againft thee, that thou forfakeft us, and fitteft 
here in this place ? 

42 For of all the || prophets thou only art left us, as a 11 ow 
clufter of the vintage, and as a candle in a dark place, and 

as a haven or fliip preferved from the tempeft. 

43 Are not the evils which are come to us fufheient ? 

44 If thou flialt forfake us, how much better had it 
been for us if we alfo had been burnt in the midft of Sion ? 

45 For we are not better than they that died there. 
And they wept with a loud voice. Then anfwercd I 
them, and faid, 

46 Be 



Efdras fceth a man coming from thefea. II. E S 

46 Be of good comfort, O Ifrael ; and be not heavy, 
thou houfe of Jacob ; 

47 For the Higheft hath you in remembrance, and the 
Mighty hath not forgotten you in temptation. 

48 As for me, I have not forfaken you, neither am I 
departed from you ; but am come into this place, to pray 
for the defolation of Sion, and that I might feek mercy 
for the low eftate of your fanclaiary. 

49 And now go your way home every man, and after 
thefe days will I come unto you. 

50 So the people went their way into the city, like as 
I commanded them r 

5 1 But I remained ftill in the field ("even days, as the 
angel commanded me ; and did eat only in thofe days of 
the flowers of the field, and had my meat of the herbs.

AN D it eame to pafs after feven days, I dreamed a 
dream by night :

Junius. , 

3 And I beheld, and, lo, that man waxed ftrong with 
11 chuds. the || thoufands of heaven : and when he turned his coun- 
tenance to look, all the things trembled that were feen 
under him. 

4 And whenfoever the voice went out of his mouth, all 
they burned that heard his voice, like as the earth faileth 
when it feeleth *he fire. 

5 And after this I beheld, and, lo, there, was gathered 
together a multitude of men, out of number, from the four 
winds of the heaven, to fubdue the man that came out of 
the fea. 

6 But I beheld, and, lo, he had graved himfelf a great 
mountain, and flew up upon it. 

7 But I would have feen the region or place whereout 
the hill' was graven, and I could not. 

8 And after this I beheld, and, lo, all they which were 
gathered together to fubdue him, were fore afraid, and 
yet dur ft fight. 

9 And, lo, as he faw the violence of the multitude that 
came, he neither lifted up his hand, nor held fword, nor 
any inftrument of war ; 

10 But only I faw that he fent out of his mouth as it had 
been a blaft of fire, and out of his lips a flaming breath, 
and out of his tongue he caft out fparks and tempefts. 

1 1 And they were all mixed together ; the blaft of 
fire, the flaming breath, and the great tempeft ; and fell 
with violence upon the multitude which was prepared to 
fight, and burnt them up. every one, fo. that upon a hid- 
den, of an innumerable multitude nothing was to be per- 
ceived, but only duft and fmell of fmoke : when I faw 
this I was afraid. 

1 z Afterward faw I the fame man come down from 
the mountain, and call unto him another peaceable mul- 
titude. 

13 And there came much people unto him, whereof 
fome were glad, fome were forry, fome of them were 

Vefbtngs^ bound, and other fome brought || of them that were of- 
«#«' T rt ^ ere ^ : tnea was * ac k- through great fear, and I awaked, 
and faid,

the beginning, and haft counted me worthy that thou 
fhouldeft receive my prayer :

D R A S. The meaning of the vifion. 

15 Shew me now yet the interpretation of this dream. 

16 For as I conceive in mine underftandin?, woe unto 
them that fhall be left in thofe days ! and much more woe 
unto them that are not left behind ! 

1 7 For they that were not left were in heavinefs. 

1 8 Now underftand I the things that are laid up in the 
latter days, which fhall happen unto them, and to thofe 
that are left behind. 

19 Therefore are they come into great perils, and many 
neceflities, like as thefe dreams i declare. 

20 Yet is it eafier for him that is in danger to come 
into || thefe things, than to pafs away as a cloud out of the 11 o, 
world, and not to fee the things that happen in the laft 
days. And he anfwered unto me, and faid, 

21 The interpretation of the vifion fhall I fhew thee, 
and I will open unto thee the thing that thou haft re- 
quired. 

22 Whereas thou haft fpoken of them that are left be- 
hind, this is the interpretation : 

23 He that fhall endure the peril in that time hath kept 
himfelf ; they that be fallen into danger are fuch as have 
works, and faith toward the Almighty. 

24 Know this therefore, that they which be left be- 
hind, are more blefTed than they that be dead. 

25 If This is the meaning of the vifion : Whereas thou 
faweft a man coming up from the midft of the fea ;. 

26 The fame is he whom God the Higheft hath kept 
a great feafon, which by his own felf fhall deliver his crea- 
ture ; and he fhall order them that are left behind. 

27 And whereas thou faweft, that out of his mouth 
there came as a blaft of wind, and fire^ and ftorm ; 

28 And that he held neither fword nor any inftrument 
of war, but that the rufhing in of him deftroyed the whole 
multitude that came to fubdue him j this is the interpre- 
tation : 

29 Behold, the days come, when the moft High will 
begin to deliver them that are upon the earth. 

30 And he fhall come to the aftonifhment of them that 
dwell on the earth. 

. 3 r And one fhall undertake to fight againft another, 

one city againft another, one place againft another, a one aMatth. 

people againft another, and one realm againft another. 

32 And the time fhall be when thefe things fhall come 
to pafs, and the figns fhall happen which I fhewed thee 
before, and then fhall my Son be declared, whom thou 
faweft as a man afcending. 

33 And when all the people hear his voice, every man 
fhall in their own land leave the battle they have one a- 
gainft another. 

34 And an innumerable multitude fhall be gathered to- 
gether, as thou faweft them, willing to come, and to over- 
come him by fighting- 

35 But he fhall ftand upon the top of the mount Sion. 

36 And Sion fhall come, and fhall be fhewed to all 
men,' being prepared and builded, like as. thou faweft the 
hill graven without hands. 

37 And this my Son fhall rebuke' the wicked inven- 
tions of thofe nations, which for their wicked life are fallen 
into the tempeft ; 

38 And fhall lay before them their evil thoughts, and 
the torments wherewith they fhall begin to be tormented, 
which are like unto a flame ; and he fhall deftroy them 
without labour, by the law which is like unto fire. 

39 And whereas thou faweft that he gathered another 
peaceable multitude unto him ;

40 Thofe are the ten tribes which were carried away 
prifoners out of their own land, in the time of Ofea the 
king, whom b Salmanafar the king of Aflyria led away 
captive, and he carried them over the waters, and fo came 
they into another land. 

41 But they took this counfel among themfelves, that 
they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go 
forth into a further country, where never mankind dwelt, 

42 That they might there keep their ftatutes, which 
they never kept in their own land, 

43 And they entered into Euphrates by the narrow 
paffages of the river. 

44 For the moft High then fhewed c figns for them, 
and held ftill the flood, till they were pafled over. 

45 For through that country there was a great way to 
go, namely, of a year and a half ; and the fame region is 
called || Arfareth. 

46 Then dwelt they there until the latter time j and 
now, when they fhall begin to come, 

47 The Highe,ft fhall ftay the fprings of the ftream 
again that they may go through : therefore faweft thou 
the multitude with peace. 

48 But thofe that be left behind of thy people, are 
they that are found within my borders 

49 Now, when he deftroyeth the multitude of the na- 
tions that are gathered together, he fhall defend his peo- 
ple that remain. 

50 And then fhall he fhew them great wonders. 

5 1 Then faid I, O Lord that beareft rule, fhew me 
this : Wherefore have I feen the man coming up from 
the midft of the fea ? 

52 And he faid unto me, Like as thou canft neither 
feek out nor know the things that are in the deep of the 
fea ; even fo can no man upon earth fee my Son, or thofe 
that be with him, but in the day time. 

53 This is the interpretation of the dream which thou 
faweft, and whereby thou only art here lightened. 

54 For thou haft forfaken thine own way, and applied 
thy diligence unto my law, and fought it. 

55 Thy life haft thou ordered in wifdom, and haft 
called underftanding thy mother. 

56 And therefore have I fhewed thee the treafures of 
the Higheft : after other three days I will fpeak other 
things unto thee, and declare unto thee mighty and won- 
drous things. 

5 7 Then went I forth into the field, giving praife and 
thanks greatly unto the moft High, becaufe of his won- 
ders which he did in time ; 

58 And becaufe he {Toverneth the fame, and fuch 
things as fall in their feafons : and there I fat three days. 

C H A P. XIV. 
I A voice out of a bujh calleth Efdras, 10 telling him that the 

world waxeth old : 19 he prayeth, becaufe the laiu was 

burned, that he might write all anew, &c 

AND it came to pafs, upon the third day, I fat under 
an oak, and, behold, there came a voice out of a 
btifh over againft me, and faid, Efdras, Efdras ! 

2 And I faid, Here am I, Lord. And I flood up upon 
my feet. 

3 Then faid he unto me, a In the bufh I did mani- 
feftly reveal myfelf unto Mofes, and talked with him, 
when my people ferved in Egypt :

and brought him up to the mount of Sinai, where I held 
him by rnc a long feafon,

"• XIV. he prayeth to write the law ane.c, 

_ 5 And told him many wondrous things, and fhewed 
him the fecrets of the times, and the end ; and command- 
ed hl'm, faying, 

6 Thefe words fhalt thou declare, and thefe fhalt thou 
hide. 

7 And now I fay unto thee, 

8 That thou lay up in thy heart the figns that I have 
fhewed, and the dreams that thou haft feen, and the in- 
terpretations which thou haft heard : 

9 For thou fhalt be taken away from all, and from 
henceforth thou fnalt remain with my || Son, and with '^ : .- 
fuch as be like thee, until the times be ended. 

I o For the world hath loft his youth, and the times 
begin to wax old. 

I I For the world is divided into twelve parts, and the 
ten parts of it are gone already, and half of a tenth part ; 

1 2 And there remaineth that which is after the half of 
the tenth part : 

1 3 Now therefore fet thine houfe in order, and re- 
prove thy people, comfort fuch of them as be in trouble, 
and now renounce corruption ; 

14 Let go from thee mortal thoughts, caft away the 
burdens of man, put off now the weak nature, 

1 5 And fet allde the thoughts that are moft heavy un- , 
to thee, and hafte thee to flee from thefe times. 

16 For b yet greater evils than thofe which thou haft ; 4 Ml 7 ftl, 8 ' 
feen happen, fhall be done hereafter. 

1 7 For look, how much the world fhall be weaker 
through age, fo much the more fhall evils increafe upon 
them that dwell therein. 

1 8 For the truth is fled far away, and leafing is hard 
at hand : For now hafteth the vifion to come which thou 
haft feen. 

19 if Then anfwered I befora thee, and faid, 

20 Behold, Lord, I will go as thou haft commanded 
me, and reprove the people which are preient : but they 
that fhall be born afterward, who fhall admonifh them ? 
thus the world is fet in darknefs, and they that dwell 
therein are without light. 

2 1 For thy law is burnt, therefore no man knoweth the 
things that are done of thee, or the works that fhall begin : 

22 But if I have found grace before thee, fend the 
Holy Ghoft into me, and I fhall write all that hath been 
done in the world fince the beginning, which were writ- 
ten in thy law, that men may find thy path, and that they 
which will live in the latter days, may live. 

23 51 And he anfwered me, faying, Go thy way, gather 
the people together, and fay unto them, that they feek 
thee not for forty days. 

24 But look thou, prepare thee many || box-trees, and ^f': b ;f 
take with thee Sarea, Dabria, Selcmia, || Ecanus, and write on.

Afiel, thefe five, which are ready to write iwifiiy ; 4+: 

2q And come hither, and I fhall light a candle of un- bmLs. 
derftanding in thine heart, which fhall not be put out till 
the things be performed which thou fhalt begin to write. 
16 And when thou haft done, fome things fhalt thou 
publifh, and fome things fhalt thou fhew fecretly to the 
wife ; tomorrow this hour, fhalt thou begin to write. 

27 1f Then went I forth, as he commanded, and gath- 
ered all the people together, and faid, 

28 Hear thefe words, O Ifrael : 

29 c Our fathers at the beginning were ftrangers in 
Egypt, from whence they were delivered :

certainty of the prophecy. 

3 1 Then was the land, even the land of Sion, parted 
among you by lot ; but your fathers, and ye yourfelves, 
have done unrighteoufnefs, and have not kept the ways 
which the Higheft commanded you. 

32 And forafmuch as he is a righteous judge, he took 
from you in time the thing that he had given you. 

33 And now are ye here, and your brethren among 
you. 

34 Therefore, if fo be that ye will fubdue your own 
underftanding, and reform your hearts, ye fhall be kept 
alive, and after death ye fhall obtain mercy. 

35 For after death fhall the judgment come, when we 
fhall live again : and then fhall the names of the righteous 
be manifeft, and the works of the ungodly fhall be de- 
clared. 

36 Let no man therefore come unto me now, nor feek 
after me thefe forty days. 

37 f So I took the five men, as he commanded me, 
and we went into the field and remained there. 

38 And the next day, behold, a voice called me, fay- 
ing, Efdras, e open thy mouth, and drink that I give thee 
to drink. 

39 Then opened I my mouth, and, behold, he reach- 
ed me a full cup, which was full as it were with water, 
but the colour of it was like fire. 

40 And I took it and drank : and when I had drunk 
cf it, my heart uttered underftanding, and wifdom grew 
in my breaft, for my fpirit ftrengthened my memory : 

41 And my mouth was opened, and fhut no more. 

42 The Higheft gave underftanding unto the five men, 
and they wrote the wonderful vifions of the night that 
were told, which they knew not : and they fat forty days, 
and they wrote in the day, and at night they ate bread. 

43 As for me, I fpake in the day, and I held not my 
tongue by night. 

44 In forty days they wrote |J two hundred and four 
books. 

45 % And it came to pafs, when the forty days were 
fulfilled, that the Higheft fpake, faying, The firft that 
thou haft written publifh openly, that the worthy and 
unworthy may read it : 

46 But keep the feventy laft, that thou mayeft deliver 
them only to fuch as be wife among the people. 

47 For in them is the fpring of underftanding, the 
fountain of wifdom, and [j the ftream of knowledge.

10 Behold, my people is led as a flock to the {laughter : 
I will not fuffer them now to dwell in the land of Egypt ; 

1 1 But I will bring them with a mighty hand, and a 
ftretched out arm, and finite Egypt with plagues as be- 
fore, and will deftroy all the land thereof. 

1 2 Egypt fhall mourn, and the foundation of it fhall 
be fmitten with the plague and punifhment that God fhall 
bring upon it. 

13 They that till the ground fiiail mourn : for their 
feeds fhall fail through the blafting and hail, and with a 
fearful conftellation. 

14 Woe to the world, and them that dwell therein ! 

1 5 For the fword and their deftruc~cion draweth nigh, 
and one people fhall ftand up to fight againft another, and 
fwords in their hands. 

16 For there fhall be fedition among men, and invad- 
ing one another ; they fhall not regard their kings nor 
princes, and the courfe of their acYions fhall ftand in then- 
power. 

1 7 A man fhall defire to go into a city, and fhall not 
be able. 

1 8 For becaufe of their pride the cities fhall be troubled, 
the houfes fhall be deftroyed, and men fhall be afraid. 

19 Aman fhall have no pityuponhis neighbour, but fhall 
deftroy their houfes with the fword, and fpoil their goods 
becaufe of the lack of bread, and for great tribulation. 

20 Behold, faith God, I will call together all the kings 
of the earth to reverence me, which are from the rifing 
of the fun, from the fouth, from the eaft, and Libanus j 
to turn themfelves one againft another, and repay the 
things that they have done to them. 

2 1 Like as they do yet this day unto my chofen, fo 
will I do alfo, and recompenfe in their bofom. Thus 
faith the Lord God, 

22 My right hand fhall not fpare the finners, and my 
fword fhall not ceafe over them that fhed innocent blood 
upon the earth. 

23 The fire is gone forth from his wrath, and hath 
confumed the foundations of the earth, and the finners, 
like the ftraw that is kindled. 

24 Woe to them that fin, and keep not my command- 
ments ! faith the Lord. 

25 I will not fpare them : go your way, ye children, 
from the power, defile not my fanftuary. 

26 For the Lord knoweth all them that fin againft 
him, and therefore delivereth he them unto death and 
deftruc~tion. 

27 For now are the plagues come upon the whole 
earth, and ye fhall remain in them : for God fhall not 
deliver you, becaufe ye have finned againft him. 

28 Behold an horrible vifion, and the appearance there- 
of from the eaft : 

29 Where the nations of the dragons of Arabia fhall 
come out with many chariots, and the multitude of them 
fhall be carried as the wind upon earth, that all they which 
hear them may fear and tremble.

they come, and join battle with them, and fhall wafte a 
portion of the land of the Affyrians. 

3 1 And then fhall the dragons have the upper hand, re- 
membering their nature ; and if they fhall turn themfelves, 
confpiring together in great power to perfecute them. 

32 Then thefe fhall be troubled, and keep filence, 
through their power, and fhall flee. 

33 And from the land of the AfTyrians fhall the enemy 
befiege them, and confume fome of them, and in their 
hoft fhall be fear and dread, and ftrife || among their kings. 

34 Behold, clouds from the eaft, and from the north, 
unto the fouth, and they are very horrible to look upon, 
full of wrath and ftorm. 

3 5 They fhall fmite one upon another, and they fhall 
finite down a great multitude of ftars upon the earth, even 
their own ftar ; and blood fhall be from the fword unto 
the belly, 

36 And dung of men unto the camels' f| hough. 

37 And there fhall be great fearfulnefs and trembling 
upon earth : and they that fee the wrath fhall be afraid, 
and trembling fhall come upon them.. 

38 And then fhall there come great ftorms from the 
iouth, and from the north, and another part from the weft. 

39 And ftrong winds fhall arife from the eaft, and fhall 
open it ; and the cloud which he raifed up in wrath, and 
the ftar ftirred to caufe fear toward the eaft and weft wind, 
fhall be deftroyed. 

40 The great and mighty clouds fhall be lifted up full 
of wrath, and the ftar, that they may make all the earth 
afraid, and them that dwell therein j and they fhall pour 
out over every high and eminent place an horrible ftar, 

41 Fire, and hail, and flying fwords, and many waters, 
that all fields may be full, and all rivers with the abun- 
dance of great waters. 

42 And they fhall break down the cities and walls, 
mountains and hills, trees of the wood, and grafs of the 
meadows, and their corn. 

43 And they fhall go ftedfaftly unto Babylon, and 
|l make her afraid. 

44 They fhall come to her, and befiege her, the ftar 
and all wrath fhall they pour out upon her : then fhall 
the dufl and fmoke go up unto the heaven, and all they 
that be about her fhall bewail her. 

45 And they that remain under her fhall do fervice 
unto them that have put her in fear. 

46 And thou, Afia, that art || partaker of the hope of 
Babylon, and art the glory of her perfon ; 

47 Woe be unto thee, thou wretch, becaufe thou haft 
made thyfelf like unto her ; and haft decked thy daugh- 
ters in whoredom, that they might pleafe and glory in thy 
lovers, which have alway defired to commit whoredom 
with thee ! 

48 Thou haft followed her that is hated in all her 
works and inventions : therefore, faith God, 

49 I will fend plagues upon thee ; widowhood, pov- 
erty, famine, fword, and peftilence, to wafte thy houfes

50 And the glory of thy power fhall be dried up as a

13 For ftrong is his right hand that bendsth the bow, 
his arrows that he fhooteth are fharp, and fhall not mifs, 
when they begin to be fhot into the ends of the world. 

14 Behold, the plagues are fent, and fhall not return 
again, until they come upon the earth. 

15 The fire is kindled, and fhall not be put out, till it 
confume the foundation of the earth. 

16 Like as an arrow which is fhot oi a mighty archer 

returneth 



Babylon, &c. threatened with deflation. 

returneth not backward ; even fo the plagues that fhall 
be lent upon earth fhall not return again. 

17 Woe is me ! woe is, me ! who will deliver me in 
thofe days ? 

18 The beginning of forrows and great mournings ; 
the beginning of famine and great dearth ; the beginning 
of wars, and the powers fliall ftand in fear ; the begin- 
ningof evils ! what fliall I do when thefe evils fliall come? 

19 Behold, famine and plague, tribulation and anguilh, 
are fent as fcourges for amendment. 

20 But for all thefe things they fliall not turn from their 
wickednefs, nor be alway mindful of the fcourges, 

21 Behold, victuals fliall befo good, cheap upon earth, 
that they fliall think themfelves to be in good cafe, and 

tiapui. even then fliall |] evils grow upon earth, fword, famine, 
and great confufion. 

22 For many of them that dwell upon earth fliall per- 
jfh of famine -, and the other that efcape the hunger fliall 
the fword deftroy. 

23 And the dead fliall be caft out as dung, and there 
fliall be no man to comfort them ; for the earth fliall be 
wafted, and the cities fliall be caft down. 

24 There fhall be no man left to till the earth, and to 
fow it. 

25 The trees fliall give fruit, and who fliall gather them? 

26 The grapes fliall ripen, and who fliall tread them ? 
for all places fliall be defolate of men : 

27 So that one man fliall defire to fee another, and to 
hear Ids voice. 

28 For of a city there fliall be ten left, and two of the 
field, which fliall hide themfelves in the thick groves, and 
in the clefts of the rocks. 

29 As in an orchard of olives, upon every tree there 
are left three or four olives ; 

30 Or as when a vineyard is gathered, there are left 
fome clufters of them that diligently feek through the 
vineyard : 

3 1 Even fo in thofe days there fliall be three or four left 
by them that fearch their houfes with the fword. 

3 2 And the earth fhall be laid w'afte, and the fields 
thereof fliall wax old, and her ways and all her paths fliall 
grow full of thorns, becaufe no man fliall travel there- 
through. 

33 The virgins fliall mourn, having no bridegrooms ; 
the women Avail mourn, having no hufbands ; their 
daughters fliall mourn, having no helpers. 

34 In the wars fliall their bridegrooms be deftroyed, 
and their hufbands fliall perifli of famine. 

35 Hear now thefe things, and underftand them, ye 
fervants of the Lord. 

36 Behold, the word of the Lord, receive it ; believe 
not the gods of whom the Lord fpake. 

37 Behold, the plagues draw nigh, and are not flack. 

38 As when a woman with child in the ninth month 
bringeth forth her fon, within twp or three hours of her 
birth great pains compafs her womb, which pains, when 
the child cometh forth, they flack not a moment : 

39 Even fo Avail not the plagues be flack to come up- 
on the earth, and the world fhall mourn, and forrows 
fliall come upon it on every fide. 

40 If O my people, hear my word : make you ready to 
the battle, and in thofe evils be even as pilgrims upon the 
earth. 

41 He that feileth, let him be as he that fleeth avyay •, 
and he that buyeth, as one that will lofe ; 



II. E S D R. A S. Sins mujt not be hidden. 

42 He that occupieth merchandife, as he that hath no 
profit by it •, and .he that buildeth, as he that fhall not 
dwell therein ; 

43 He that foweth, as if he fhould not reap ; fo alfo 
he that planteth the vineyard, as he that fhall not gather 
the grapes ; 

44 They that marry, as they that fhall get no chil- 
dren ; and they that marry not, as the widowers. 

45 And therefore they that labour, labour in vain : 

46 For ftrangers fhall reap their fruits, and fpoil their 
goods, overthrow their houfes, and take their children cap- 
tives ; for in captivity and famine fhall they get children. 

47 And they that occupy their merchandife with rob- 
bery, the more they deck their cities, their houfes, their 
poffefiions, and their own perfong, 

48 The more will I be angry with them for their fin, 
faith the Lord. 

49 Like as a whore envieth a right honefl and virtuous 
woman ; 

50 So fliall righteoufnefs hate iniquity when fhe deck- 
eth herfelf, and flvfll accufe her to her face, when he 
cometh that fliall defend him that diligently fearcheth 
out every fin upon earth. 

5 1 And therefore be ye not like thereunto, nor to the 
works thereof. 

5 2 For yet a little, and iniquity fliall be taken away 
out of the earth, and righteoufnefs fliall reign among you. 

53 Let not the finnerfay that he hath not finned ; for 
God fliall burn coals of fire upon his head, which faith 
before the Lord God and his glory, I have not finned, 

54 Behold, the Lord knoweth all the works of men, 
1 their imaginations, their thoughts, and their hearts ; ^J'"^. 

5 5 Which fpake but the word, Let the earth be made, 
b and it was made : let the heaven be made, and it was \ ?/. nefi 
created. 

56 In his word were the ftars made, and he knoweth 
the c number of them. 

57 Fie fearcheth the deep, and the treafures thereof ; 
he hath meafured the fea, and what it containeth. 

5 8 He hath fliut the fea in the midft of the waters; and 
with his word hath he hanged the earth upon the waters. 

59 He fpreadeth out the heavens like a vault, upon the 
waters hath he founded it. 

60 In the defert hath he made fprings of water, and 
pools upon the tops of the mountains, that the floods might 
pour down from the high rocks to water the earth. 

61 He made man and put his heart in the midft of the 
body, and gave him breath, life, and underftanding. 

62 Yea, and the Spirit of Almighty God, which made 
all things, and fearcheth out all hidden things in the fe- 
crets of the earth, 

63 Surely he knoweth your inventions, and what ye 
think in your hearts, even thein that fin, and would hide 
their fin. 

64 Therefore hath the Lord exactly fearched out all 
your works, and he will put you all to fliame. 

65 And when your fins are brought forth, ye fhall be 
afliamed before men, and your own fins fliall be your ac- 
cufers in that day. 

66 What will ye do ? or how will ye hide your fins 
before God and his angels ? 

67 Behold, God himfelf is the judge, fear him : leave 

off from your fins, and forget your iniquities, to meddle 

no more with them forever ; fo fhall God lead you forth, 

and deliver vou from all trouble.

I Tobit' s defcent and piety from his youth : 9 his marriage 
and saptivity : 1 4 he leaveth money in truji with Gabael : 
1 6 his alms and charity in burying the dead : 1 9 he is ac- 
cufed,fieeth, and is fpoilcd of his goods, C5V. 

THE book of the || words of Tobit, fon of Tobiel, 
the fon of Ananiel, the fon of Aduel, the fon of 
Gabael, of the feed of Afael, of the tribe of Nephthali, 

2 Who, in the time of || Enemeffar king of the Afly- 
rians, a was led captive out of Thifbe, which is at the right 
hand of that city which is called |j properly Nephthali in 
Galilee above Afer. 

3 I Tobit have walked all the days of my life in the 
way of truth and juftice : and I did many alms deeds to 
my brethren, and my nation, who came with me to Nineve, 
into the land cf the Affyrians. 

4 And when I was in mine own country, in the land 
of Ifrael, being but young, all the tribe of Nephthali my 
father fell from the houfe of Jerufalem, which was chofen 
out of all the tribes of Ifrael, that all the tribes fhould fac- 
rifice there, where the temple of the habitation of the moft 
High was confecrated and built for all ages. 

5 Now all the tribes which together revolted, and the 
houfe of mv father Nephthali, facrificed || unto the b heifer 
Baal. 

6 But I alone went often to Jerufalem at the feafts, as 
it was ordained unto all the people of Ifrael by an ever- 
lafting decree,, having the firft fruits, and tenths of in- 
creafe, with that which was firft fhorn ; and them gave I 
at the altar, to the priefts the children of Aaron. 

7 The firft tenth part of all the increafe I gave to the 
fons of i! Aaron, who miniftered at Jerufalem : another 
tenth part I fold away, and went and fpent it every year 
at Jerufalem : 

8 And the third I gave unto them to whom it was 
meet, as Debora my father's mother had commanded me, 
becaufe I was left an orphan by my father. 

9 Furthermore, when I was come to the age of a man, 
I married Anna of mine d own kindred, and of her I be- 
gat Tobias. 

I o And when we were carried away captives to Nineve, 
all my brethren, and thofe that were of my kindred, did 
eat of the e bread of the Gentiles. 

I I But I kept \ myfelf from eating ; 

T2 Becaufe I remembered God with all my heart. 
13 And the moft High gave me grace and favour be- 
fore Enemcflar, fo that I was his f purveyor. 



14 And I went into Media, and left in truft with Ga- 
bael, the brother of Gabnas, || at Rages, a city of Media, 
ten talents of filver. 

1 5 Now, when Enemeffar was dead, Sennacherib his" 
fon reigned in his ftead ; f whofe eftate was troubled, 
that I could not go into Media. 

1 6 And in the time of Enemeffar I gave many alms to 
my brethren, and gave my bread to the hungry, 

1 7 And my clothes to the naked : and if I law any of 
my nation dead, or caft [| about the walls of Nineve, I 
buried him. 

1 8 And if the king Sennacherib had flain any, when 
he was come, and f fled from Judea, I buried them priv- 
ily, (for in his wrath he killed many ;) but the bodies 
were not found when they were fought for of the king. 

19 And when one of the Ninevites went and complain- 
ed of me to the king, that I buried them, and hid myfelf; 
underftanding that I was fought for to be put to death, I 
withdrew myfelf for fear. 

20 Then all my goods were forcibly taken away, nei- 
ther was there any thing left me, befide my wife' Anna, 
and my fon Tobias. 

2 1 And there parTed not five and fifty days before two 
of his fons s killed him, and they fled into the mountains 
of Ararath ; and || Sarchedonus his fon reigned in his 
ftead ; who appointed over his father's accounts, and over 
all his affairs, Achiacharus, my brother Anael's fon. 

22 And Achiacharus entreating for me, I returned to 
Nineve. Now Achiacharus was cupbearer, and keeper of 
the fignet, and fteward, and overfeer of the accounts ; 
and || Sarchedonus appointed him next unto him : and he 
was my brother's fon.

NOW, when I was come home again, and my wife 
Anna was reftored unto me, with my fon Tobias, 
in the feaft of Pentecoft, which is the holy fcaft of the 
^\t\\ weeks, there was a good dinner prepared me, in 
the which I fat down to eat. 

2 And, when I faw abundance of meat, I faid to my 
fon, Go, and bring what poor man foever thou fhalt find 
out of our brethren, who is mindful of the Lord ; and, 
lo, I tarry for thee. 

3 But he came again, and faid, Father, one of our na- 
tion is ftrangled, and is caft out in the market place. 

4 Then, before I had taftcd of any meat, I fiarted up,

and took him up into a room until the going down of the 
fun. 

5 Then I returned, and warned myfelf, and ate my 
meat in heavinefs, 

6 Remembering that prophecy of a Amos, as he faid, 
Your feafts fhall be turned into mourning, and all your 
mirth into lamentation. 

7 Therefore I wept ; and after the going down of the 
fun, I went and made a grave, and buried him. 

8 But my neighbours mocked me, and faid, This man 
b chap. J s not y e (- afraid to be put to death for this matter : b who 

fled away : and yet, lo, he burieth the dead again. 

9 The fame night alfo I returned from the burial, and 
flept by the wall of my court yard, being polluted, and 
my face was uncovered : 

i 0r ' io And I knew not that there were II fparrows in the 

(wallows. , r i 

wall ; and mine eyes being open, the iparrows muted 
or, -white warm dung into mine eyes, and || a whitenefs came in 

mine eyes ; and I went to the phyficians, but they helped 

me not : moreover, Achiacharus did nourifh me, until I 

went into Elymais.

faid unto her, From whence is this kid ? is it not ftolen ? 
c Deut. render it to the owners ; for c it is not lawful to eat any 

thing that is ftolen. 

14 But fhe replied upon me, It was given for a gift 

more than the wages : howbeit, I did not believe her, but 

bade her render it to the owners ; and I was abafhed at 
a Job 1 9. her. d But fhe replied upon me, "Where are thine alms,

known to works are known. 

CHAP. III. 

I Tobit, grieved ivith his wife's taunts, prayeth. 7 Sara 
reproached by her father' 's maids, prayeth alfo, ?S"V. 

THEN I being grieved, did weep, and in my forrow 
prayed, faying, _ 

2 O Lord, thou art juft ; and all thy works, and all thy 
ways, are mercy and truth ; and thou judged truly and 
juftly forever. 

3 Remember me, and look on me : punifh me not for 
my fins and ignorances, and the fins of my fathers, who 
have finned before thee : 

4 For they obeyed not thy commandments ; where- 
fore thou haft delivered us a for a fpoil, and unto captiv- 
ity, and unto death, and for a proverb of reproach to all 
the nations among whom we are difperfed. 

5 And now thy judgments are many and true : deal 
with me according to my fins and my father's ; becaufe 
we have not'kept thy commandments, neither have walk- 
ed in truth before thee. 

6 Now, therefore, deal with me as feemeth beft unto 
thee, and command my fpirit to be taken from me, that I 

i! ot.ti/- may be || diffolved, and become earth : for it is profitable 

miffed, or, c 1 j. r r 

delivered, ror me to die rather than to live, becaufe 1 have heard falfe 
reproaches, and have much forrow : command therefore 
that I may now be delivered out of this diftrefs, and go 
into the everlafting place : turn not thy face away from me. 

7 It came to pais the fame day, that, in Ecbatane, a city 
of Media, Sara the daughter of Raguel was alfo reproached 
by her father's maids ; 

8 Becaufe that fhe had been married to feven hufbands, 
whom Afmodeus the evil fpirit had killed before they had

lain with her. Doft thou not know, faid they, that thou 
haft ftrangled thine hufbands ? thou haft had already feven 
hufbands, neither waft thou named after any of them. 

9 Wherefore doft thou beat us for them ? if they be 
dead, go thy ways after them, let us never fee of thee 
either fon or daughter. 

10 When fhe heard thefe things fhe was very forrow- 
ful, fo that fhe thought to have ftrangled herfelf ; and 
fhe faid, I am the only daughter of my father, and if I do 
this, it fhall be a reproach unto him, and I fhall bring his 
old age with forrow unto the grave. 

1 1 Then fhe prayed toward the window, and faid, 
BlefTed art thou, O Lord my God, and thine holy and 
glorious name is bleffed and honourable forever : let all 
thy works praife thee forever. 

1 2 And now, O Lord, I fet mine eyes and my face to- 
ward thee, 

13 And fay, Take me out of the earth, that I may 
hear no more the reproach. 

14 Thou knoweft, Lord, that I am pure from all fin 
with man, 

1 5 And that I never polluted my name, nor the name 
of my father, in the land of my captivity : I am the only 
daughter of my father, neither hath he any child to be his 
heir, neither any near || kinfman, nor any fon of his alive, 
to whom I may keep myfelf for a wife ; my feven hufbands 
are already dead, and why fhould I live ? but if it pleafe 
not thee that I fhould die, command fome regard to be had 
of me, and pity taken of me, that I hear no more reproach. 

16 So the prayers of them both were heard before the 
majefty of the great God. 

17 And Raphael was fent to heal them both ; that is, 
to fcale away the whitenefs of Tobit's eyes •, and to give 
Sara, the daughter of Raguel, for a wife to Tobias the fon 
of Tobit, and to bind Afmodeus the evil fpirit, becaufe 
fhe belonged to Tobias by right of inheritance. The 
felf fame time came Tobit home, and entered into his 
houfe, and Sara the daughter of Raguel came down from 
her upper chamber. 

CHAP. IV. 
I Tobit giveth infrutlions to his fon Tobias. 20 and telleth 
him of the money left ivith Gabael in Media. 
N that day Tobit remembered the money which he had 
committed to Gabael in Rages of Media, 

2 And faid with himfelf, I have wifned for death : 
wherefore do I not call for my fon Tobias, that I may fig- 
nify to him of the money before I die ? 

3 And when he had called him, he faid, my fon, when 
I am dead, bury me ; and defpife not thy mother, a but 
honour her all the days of thy life, and do that which fhall |°ciu's! 
pleafe her, and grieve her not. 

4 Remember, my fon, that fhe faw many dangers for 
thee when thou ivafl in her womb ; and when fhe is dead, 
bury her by me in one grave. 

5 My fon, be mindful of the Lord our God all thy 
days, and let not thy will be fet to fin, or to tranfgrefs 
his commandments : do uprightly all thy life long, and 
follow not the ways of unrighteoufnefs. 

6 For if thou deal truly, thy doings fhall profperoufly 
fucceed to thee, and to all them that live juftly.

thou have but a little, be not afraid to give according to 
that little. 

9 For thou layeft up a good treafure for thyfelf againft 
the day of neceflity. 

10 d Becaufe that alms do deliver from death, and fuf- 
fcreth not to come into darknefs. 

1 1 For alms is a good gift unto all that give it in the 
fight of the moff High. 

12 Beware of all e whoredom, my fon ; and chiefly 
take a wife of the feed of thy fathers, and take not a 
ftrange woman to wife, which is not of thy father's tribe : 
for we are the children of the prophets, Noe, Abraham, 
Ifaac, and Jacob : remember, my fon, that our fathers 
from the beginning, even that they all married wives of 
their own kindred, and were blefied in their children, and 
their feed fhall inherit the land. 

13 Now, therefore, my fon, love thy brethren, and 
defpife not in thy heart thy brethren, the fons and daugh- 
ters of thy people, in not taking a wife of them : for in 
pride is deftruction and much trouble, and in lewdnefs is 
decay and great want : for lewdnefs is the mother of 
famine. 

1 4 Let not the f wages of any man which hath wrought 
for thee, tarry with thee, but give him it out of hand ; 
for if thou ferve God, he will alfo repay thee : be circum- 
fpect, my fon, in all things thou doeit, and be wife in all 
thy converfation. 

15s Do that to no man which thou hateft : drink not 
wine to make thee drunken ; neither let drunkennefs go 
with thee in thy journey. 

16 h Give of thy bread to the hungry, and of thy gar- 
ments to them that are naked ; and according to thine 
abundance ' give alms ; and let not thine eye be envious 
when thou giveft alms. 

17 Pour oufthy bread on the burial of the juft, but 
give nothing to the wicked. 

1 8 Alk counfel of all that are wife, and defpife not 
any counfel that is profitable. 

19 Blefs the Lord thy God alway, and defire of him 
that thy ways may be directed, and that all thy paths and 
counfels may pro (per : for every nation hath not counfel ; 
but the Lord himfelf giveth all good things, and he hum- 
bleth whom he will, as he will ; now, therefore, my fon, 
remember my commandments, neither let them be put 
out of thy mind. 

ao And now I fignify this to thee, that I committed ten 
talents to Gabael the fon of Gabrias at Rages in Media. 

21 And fear not, my fon, that we are made poor : for 
thou haft much wealth, if thou fear God, and depart from 
all fin, and do that which is pleafing in his fight. 

CHAP. V. 
T Tobias feeking a guide into Media, meeteth an angel, ivho 
agreetb to go iviih him. 16 Tobias goeth -with the angel, &c. 
OBIAS then anfwered and faid, Father, I will do all 
things which thou haft commanded me. 

2 But how can I receive the money, feeing I know 
him not ? 

3 Then he gave him the hand writing, and faid unto 
him, Seek thee a man which may go with thee whiles I 
yet live, and I will give him wages : and go and receive 
the money. 

4 Therefore when he went to feek a man, he found 
Raphael that was an angel : 

5 But he knew not : and he faid unto him, Canft thou 
go with me to Rages ? and knoweft thou thofe places well ? 



V. VI. who biddeth him pre/erve the liver ofafjh, 

6 To whom the angel faid, I will go with thee, and I 
know the way well : for I have lodged with our brother 
Gabael. 

7 Then Tobias faid unto him, Tarry for me till I tell 
my father. 

8 Then he faid unto him, Go, and tarry not. So he 
went in and faid to his father, Behold, I have found one 
which will go with me. Then he faid, Call him unto me, 
that I may know of what tribe he is, and whether he be 
a trufty man to go with thee. 

9 So he called him and he came in, and they faluted 
one another. 

10 Then Tobit faid unto him, Brother, fhew me of 
what tribe and family thou art. 

1.1 To whom he faid, Doft thou feek for a tribe or 
family, or an hired man to go with thy fon ? Then Tobit 
faid unto him, I would know, brother, thy kindred and 
name. 

1 2 Then he faid, I am Azarias, the fon of Ananias 
the great, and of thy brethren. 

1 3 Then Tobit faid, Thou art welcome, brother : be 
not now angry with me, becaufe I have inquired to know 
thy tribe and thy family ; for thou art my brother, of an 
honeft and good ftock : for I know Ananias and Jonathas, 
fons of that great Samaias, as we went together to Jerufa- 
lem to worfhip, and offered the firftborn, and the tenths 
of the fruits ; and they were not feduced with the error 
of our brethren : my brother, thou art of a good ftock. 

14 But tell me, what wages fhall I give thee ? ivilt thou 
a drachm a day, and things neceffary, as to mine own fon ? 

1 5 Yea, moreover, if ye return fafe, I will add fome- 
thing to thy wages. 

16 So they were well pleafed. Then faid he to Tobias, 
Prepare thyfelf for the journey, and God fend you a good 
journey. And, when his fon had prepared all things for 
the journey, his father faid, Go thou with this man, and 
God, which dwelleth in heaven, profper your journey, 
and the angel of God keep you company. So they went 
forth both, and the young man's dog with them. 

1 7 But Anna his mother wept, and faid to Tobit, 
Why haft thou fent away our fon ? is he not the ftaff of 
our hand, in going in and out before us ? 

18 i| Be not greedy to add money to money : but let witim 
it be as refufe in refpect of our child : add-Z, but

AND, as they went on their journey, they came in 
the evening to the river Tigris, and they lodged 
there. 

2 And when the young man went down to wafh him- 
felf, a fifh leaped out of the river, and would have de- 
voured him. 

3 Then the angel faid unto him, Take the fifh. And 

the young man laid hold of the fiih, and |j drew it to land. j ( ^;,:',1\

5 So the young man did as the angel commanded him : 
and when they had roafted the fifh, they did eat it : then 
they both went on their way, till they drew near to Ec- 
batane. 

6 Then the young man faid to the angel, Brother 
Azarias, to what ufe is the heart, and the liver, and the 
gall of the fifh ? 

7 And he faid unto him, Touching the heart and the 
liver, if a devil or an evil fpirit trouble any, we muft make 
a fmoke thereof before the man or the woman, and the 
party fhall be no more vexed. 

8 As for the gall, it is good to anoint a man that hath 
whitenefs in his eyes, and he fhall be healed. 

9 And when they were come near to Rages, 

ro The angel faid to the young man, Brother, today 
we fhall lodge with Raguel, who is thy coufin ; he alio 
hath one only daughter, named Sara ; I will fpeak for 
her, that fhe may be given thee for a wife. 

II or, in- 1 1 For to thee doth the || a right of her appertain, fee- 

a Numb!' ing thou only art of her kindred. 

i % And the maid is fair and wife : now, therefore, 
hear me, and I will fpeak to her father ; and when we 
return from Rages, we will celebrate the marriage ; for I 
know that Raguel cannot marry her to another, accord- 
ing to the law of Mofes, but he fhall be guilty of death, 
becaufe the right of inheritance doth rather appertain to 
thee than to any other. 

1 3 Then the young man anfwered the angel, I have 
heard, brother Azarias, that this maid hath been given to 
feven men, who all died in the marriage chamber. 

1 4 And now I am the only fon of my father, and I am 
afraid, left, if I go in unto her, I die, as the other before : 
for a wicked fpirit loveth her, which hurteth no body but 
thofe which come unto her : wherefore I alfo fear left I 
die, and bring my father's and my mother's life (becaufe 
of me) to the grave with forrow $ for they have no other 
fon to bury them. 

15 Then the angel faid unto him, Doft thou not re- 
member the precepts which thy father gave thee, that 
thou fhouldeft marry a wife of thine own kindred ? where- 
fore hear, me, O my brother ; for fhe fhall be given thee 
to wife ; and make thou no reckoning of the evil fpirit ; 
for this fame night fhall fhe be given thee in marriage. 

1 6 And when thou fhalt come into the marriage cham- 
ber, thou fhalt take the || afhes of perfume, and fhalt lay 
upon them fome of the heart and liver of the fifh, and 
fhalt make a fmoke with it ; 

17 And the devil fhall fmell it, and flee away, and 
never come again any more : but when thou fhalt come 
to her, rife up both of you and pray to God, which is 
merciful, who will have pity on you, and fave you ; fear 
not, for fhe is appointed unto thee from the beginning, 
and thou fhalt preferve her, and fhe fhajl go with thee : 
moreover, I fuppofe that fhe fhall bear thee children. 
Now, when Tobias had heard thefe things, he loved her, 

mlrrty^ an d his heart was jj effectually joined to her. 

CHAP. VII. 
I Tobias is kindly received by Raguel : 9 he qfketh for Sara,

AN D when they were come to Ecbatane, they came 
to the houfe of Raguel, and Sara met them : and 
after they had faluted one another, fhe brought them in- 
. to the houfe. 

2 Then faid Raguel to Edna his wife, How like is this

3 And Raguel afked them, From whence are ye,

Nephthalim, which are captives in Nineve. 

4 Then he faid to them, Do ye know Tobit our kinf- 
man ? And they faid, We know him. Then faid he, Is 
he in good health ? 

5 And they faid, He is both alive, and in good health. 
And Tobias faid, He is my father. 

6 Then Raguel leaped up and luffed him, and wept, 

7 And bleffed him, and faid unto him, Thou art the 
fon of an honeft and good man. But when he had heard 
that Tobit was blind, he was forrowful and wept. 

8 And likewife Edna his wife, and Sara his daughter 
wept. Moreover, they entertained them cheerfully ; and 
after that they had killed || a ram of the flock, they fet ftore 
of meat on the table. Then faid Tobias to Raphael, 
Brother Azarias, fpeak of thofe things of which thou didfl 
talk in the way, and let this bufinefs be difpatched, 

9 So he communicated the matter with Raguel. And 
Raguel faid to Tobias, Eat and drink, and make merry : 

10 For it is meet that thou fhouldeft marry my daugh- 
ter : neverthelefs, I will declare unto thee the truth. 

ill have given my daughter in marriage to feven men, 
who died that night they came in unto her : neverthelefs, 
for the prefent be merry. But Tobias faid, I will eat 
nothing here till we agree, and fwear one to another. 

1 2 Raguel faid, Then take her from henceforth ac- 
cording to the || manner, for thou art her coufin, and fhe 
is thine, and the merciful God give you good fuccefs in 
all things. 

1 3 Then he called his daughter Sara, and fhe came to 
her father ; and he took her by the hand, and gave her 
to be wife to Tobias, faying, Behold, take her after a the 
law of Mofes, and lead her away to thy father : and he 
bleffed them ; 

14 And called Edna his wife, and took paper, and did 
write an inftrument of covenants, and fealed it. 

1 5 Then they began to eat. 

16 After Raguel called his wife Edna, and faid unto 
her, Sifter, prepare another chamber, and bring her in 
thither. 

17 Which when fhe had done as he had bidden her, 
fhe brought her thither ; and fhe wept, and fhe || receiv- 
ed the tears of her daughter, and faid unto her, 

18 Be of good comfort, my daughter ; the Lord of 
heaven and earth give thee joy for this thy forrow : be 
of good comfort, my daughter. 

CHAP. VIII. 
3 Tobias driveih away the evil fpirit, as he was taught : 4 he 
and his wife rife up and pray, &c. 
N D when they had fupped, they brought Tobias in 

unto her. 
And as he went, he remembered the words of Ra- 
phael, and took the || afhes of the perfumes, and put the 
heart and the liver of the fifh thereupon, and made a 
fmoke therewitl:.. 

3 The which fmell, when the evil fpirit had fmelled, 
he fled into the utmoft parts of Egypt, and the angel 
bound him. 

4 And after that they were both fhut in together, To- 
bias rofe out of the bed, and faid, Sifter, arife, and let us 
pray that God would have pity on us. 

5 Then began Tobias to fay, Bleffed art thou, O God 
of our fathers, and bleffed is thy holy and glorious name 
for ever ; let the heavens blefs thee, and all thy creatures.

Tobit and his wife are anxious for their fon : CHAP. 
for an helper and flay : of them came mankind. Thou 
haft faid, It is not good that man fhould be alone : let us 
make unto him an aid like unto himfelf. 

7 And now, O Lord, I take not this my fifter for luft, 
but uprightly : therefore mercifully ordain, that we may 
become aged together. 

8 And lhe faid with him, Amen. 

9 So they flept both that night. And Raguel arofe, 
and went and made a grave, 

io Saying, I fear left he alfo be dead. 

1 1 But when Raguel was come into his houfe, 

12 He faid unto his wife Edna, Send one of the maids, 
and let her fee whether he be alive : if he be not, that we 
may bury him, and no man know it. 

13- So the maid opened the door, and went in, and 
found them both afleep, 

14 And came forth and told them that he was alive. 

1 5 Then Raguel praifed God, and faid, O God, thou 
art worthy to be praifed with all pure and holy praife ; 
therefore let thy faints praife thee with all thy creatures ; 
and let all thine angels and thine elect praife thee for ever. 

16 Thou art to be praifed, for thou haft made me joy- 
ful ; and that is not come to me which I fufpedted ; but 
thou haft dealt with us according to thy great mercy. 

1 7 Thou art to be praifed, becaufe thou haft had mercy 
of two that were the only begotten children of their 
fathers ; grant them mercy, O Lord, and finifh their life 
in health, with joy and mercy. 

1 8 Then Ra uel bade his fervants to fill the grave. 

19 And he kept the wedding feaft fourteen days. 

20 For before the days of the marriage were finifhed, 
Raguel had faid unto him by an oath, that he fhould not 
■depart till the fourteen days of the marriage were expired ; 

2 1 And then he fhould take the half of his goods, and 
go io fafety to his father \ and fhould have the reft when 
I and my wife be dead. 

CHAP. IX. 

I Tobias fendeth the angel unto Gabael for the money : 6 the

HEN Tobias called Raphael, and faid unto him, 
2 Brother Azarias, take with thee a fervant, and 
two camels, and go to Rages of Media, to Gabael, and 
bring me the money, and bring him to the wedding. 

3 For Raguel hath fworn that I fhall not depart. 

4 But my father counteth the clays ; and if I tarry 
long, he will be very forry. 

5 So Raphael went out, and lodged with Gabael, and 
gave him the hand writing ; who brought forth bags which 
were fealed up, and gave them to him.

fendeth away Tobias and hjs wife, &c. 

NOW Tobit his father counted every day •, and when 
the days of the journey were expired, and they 
came not, 

2 Then Tobit faid, Are they detained ? or is Gabael 
dead, and there is no man to give him the money ? 

3 Therefore he was very forry. 

4 Then his wife faid unto him, My fon is dead, feeing 
he ftayeth long ; and fhe began to bewail him, and faid, 

5 Now I care for nothing, my fon, ft tice I have let thee go, 
the light of mine eyeSi 



IX. X. XI. they meet him at the dmr, 

6 To whom Tobit faid, Hold thy peace, take no care, 
for he is fafe. 

7 But fhe faid, Hold thy peace, and deceive me not ; 
my fon is dead. And fhe went out every day into the 
way which they went, and did eat no meat on the day 
time, and ceafed not whole nights to bewail her fon To- 
bias, until the fourteen days of the wedding were expir- 
ed, which Raguel had fworn that he fhould fpend there. 
Then Tobias faid to Raguel, Let me go, for my father 
and my mother look no more to fee me. 

8 But his father in law faid unto him, Tarry with me, 
and I will fend to thy father, and they fhall declare unto 
him how things 50 with thee. 

9 But Tobias faid, No ; but let me go to my father. 

10 Then Raguel arofe, and gave him Sara his wife, and 
half his goods, fervants, and cattle, and money : 

1 1 And he bleffed them, and fent them away, faying, 
The God of heaven give you a profperous journey, my 
children. 

1 2 And he faid to his daughter, Honour thy father and 
thy mother in law, which are now thy parents, that I may 
hear good report of thee. And he kifled her. Edna alfo 
faid to Tobias, the Lord of heaven reftore thee, my dear 
brother : and grant that I may fee thy children of my 
daughter Sara before I die, that I may rejoice before the 

Lord : behold I commit my daughter unto thee II of fpe- !! or, ttht

CHAP. XI. 

6 Tobias' mother fpieth her fon returning .' 1 his father meet"

AFTER thefe things Tobias went his way, praifing 
God that he had given him a profperous journey, 
and bleffed Raguel, and Edna his wife, and went on his 
way till they drew near unto Nineve. 

2 Then Raphael faid to Tobias, Thou knoweft, broth- 
er, how thou didft leave thy father. 

3 Let us hafte before thy wife, and prepare the houfe t 

4 And take in thine hand the-gall of the fifli. So they 
went their way, and the dog went after them. 

5 Now Anna fat looking about toward the way for 
her fon. 

6 And when fhe efpied him coming, fhe faid to his 
father, Behold, thy fon cometh, and the man that went 
with him. 

7 Then faid Raphael, I know, Tobias, that thy father 
will open his eyes. 

8 Therefore anoint thou his eyes with the gall ; and, 
being pricked therewith, he fhall rub, and the whitenefs 
fhall fall away, and he fhall fee thee. 

9 Then Anna ran forth, and fell upon the neck of her 
fon, and faid unto him, Seeing I have feen thee, my fon, 
from henceforth I am content to die. And they wept both. 

10 Tobit alfo went forth toward the door, and ftum- 
bled : but his fbn ran unto him, 

1 1 And took hold of his father ; and he ftrake of the 
gall on his father's eyes, faying, Be of good hope, my 
father. 

1 2 And when his eyes began to fmart, he rubbed them; 

13 And the whitenefs pilled away from the corners of 
his eyes : and when he faw his fon, he fell upon his neck. 

14 And he wept, and faid, Bleffed art thou, O God, 
and bleffed is thy name forever : and bleffed are all thine 
holy angels : 

15 For thou haft fcourged and haft taken pity on me : 
for, behold, I fee my fon Tobias. And his fon went in 

rejoicing 



Tobit' s offering to the angel : T O 

rejoicing, and told his father the great things that had 
happened to him in Media. 

1 6 Then Tobit went out to meet his daughter in law 
at the gate of Nineve, rejoicing and praihng God : and 
they which faw him go, marvelled, becaufe he had receiv- 
ed his fight. 

1 7 But Tobit gave thanks before them, becaufe God 
had mercy on him. And when he came near to Sara his 
daughter in law, he blefTed her, faying, Thou art welcome, 
daughter : God be blefTed, which hath brought thee unto 
us, and blejfed be thy father and thy mother. And there 
was joy among all his brethren which were at Nineve.

19 And Tobias' wedding was kept feven days with 
great joy. 

CHAP. XII. 
Tobit offer eth the angel half of what he had brought, 8cc. 

THEN Tobit called his fon Tobias, and faid unto 
him, My fon, fee that the man have his wages which 
went with thee, and thou muft give him more. 

2 And Tobias fakl unto him, O father, it is no harm 
to me to give him half of thofe things which I have 
brought : 

3 For he hath brought me again to thee in fafety, and 
made whole my wife, and brought me the money, and 
l'ikewife healed thee. 

4 Then the old man faid, It is due unto him. 

5 So he called the angel, and he faid unto him, Take 
half of all that ye have brought, and go away in fafety. 

6 Then he took them both apart, and faid unto them, 
Blefs God, praife him, and magnify him, and praife him 
for the things which he hath done unto you in the fight 
of all that live. It is good to praife God, and exalt his 

lwurff b name > an d II honourably to fhew forth the works of God ; 
therefore be not flack to praife him. 

7 It is good to keep clofe the fecret of a king, but it is 
honourable to reveal the works of God j do that which 
is good, and no evil fhall touch you. 

8 Prayer is good with fafting, and alms, and righteouf- 
nefs-, a little with righteoufnefs is better than much withun- 
righteoufnefs : it is better to give alms than to lay up gold : 

9 For alms doth deliver from death, and fhall purge 
away all fin. Thofe that exercife alms and righteoufnefs^ 
ihall be filled with life : 

10 But they that fin are enemies to their own life. 

1 1 Surely, I will keep clofe nothing from you. For 
I faid, It was good to keep clofe the fecret of a king, but 
that it was honourable to reveal the works of God. 

12 Now, therefore, when thou didft pray, and Sara 
thy daughter in law, I did bring the remembrance of 
your prayers before the holy One : and when thou didft 
bury the dead, I was with thee likewife. 

1 3 And when thou didft not delay to rife up and leave 
anflurf ^ dinner f to go and cover the dead, thy good deed 

was not hid from me : but I was with thee. 

14 And now God hath fent me to heal thee, and Sara 
thy daughter in law. 

15 I am Raphael, one of the feven holy angels, which 
prefent the prayers of the faints, and which go in and 
out before the glory of the holy One. 

1 6 Then they were both troubled, and fell upon their 
faces : for they feared. 

1 7 But he faid unto them, Fear not j for it fhall 20 
\vell with you ; praife God therefore. 

( 



BIT. his thank/giving unto God. 

1 8 For not of any favour of mine, but by the will of 
our God I came ; wherefore praife him for ever. 

19 a All thefe days I did appear unto you ; but I did | G £ n ; ** 
neither eat nor drink, but ye did fee a vifion. judges ' 

20 Now, therefore, give God thanks ; for I go up to ' 3 
him that fent me : but write all things which are done in 

a book. 

2 1 And when they arofe, they faw him no more. 

22 Then they confeffed the great and wonderful works 
of God, and how the angel of the Lord had appeared un- 
to them. 

CHAP. XIII. 
The thank/giving unto God which Tobit wrote. 

THEN Tobit wrote a prayer of rejoicing, and faid, 
BlefTed be God that liveth for ever, and blefTed be 
his kingdom. 

2 a For he doth fcourge and hath mercy ; he Ieadeth a Deut - 
down to hell, and bringeth up again : neither is there any 1 saniuei 
that can avoid his hand. wimom 

3 Confefs him before the Gentiles, ye children of If- 
rael : for he hath fcattered us among them. 

4 There declare his greatnefs, and extol him before aE 
the living : for he is our Lord, and he is the God our 
Father for ever. 

5 And he will fcourge us for our iniquities, and will 
have mercy again, and will gather us out of all nations, 
among whom he hath fcattered us. 

6 If ye turn to him with your whole heart, and with 
your whole mind, and deal uprightly before him, then 
will he turn unto you, and will not hide his face from 
you. Therefore fee what he will do with you, and con- 
fefs him with your whole mouth, and praife the Lord of 
might, and extol the everlafting King. In the land of 
my captivity do I praife. him, and declare his might and 
majefty to a finful nation. O ye finners, turn and do 
jufiice before him : who can. tell if he will accept you, 
and have mercy on you ? 

7 I will extol my God, and my foul fhall praife the

8 Let all men fpeak, and let all praife him for his

Tobit in his old age inflrucfeth his f on, &c. 
O Tobit made an end of praifing God. 

2 And he was eight and fifty years old when he loft 
his fight, which was reftored to him after eight years : and 
he gave alms, and he || increafed in the fear of the Lord 
God, and praifed him. 

3 And when he was very aged he called his fon, and 
the fix fons of his fon, and faid to him, My fon, take thy 
children, for, behold, I am aged, and am ready to depart 
out of this life. 

4 Go into Media, my fon ; for I furely believe thofe 
things which Jonas the prophet fpake of Nineve, that it 
fhall be overthrown •, and that for a time peace fhall rath-' 
er be in Media ; and that our brethren fhall lie fcattered 
in the earth from that good land ; and Jerufalem fhall be 
defolate, and the houfe of God in it fhall be burned, and 
fhall be defolate for a time ; 

5 a And that again 'God will have mercy on them, and 
bring them again into the land, where they fhall build a 
temple, but not like to the firft, until the time of that age 
be fulfilled ; and afterward they fhall return from all 
places of their captivity, and build up Jerufalem gloriouf- 
ly, and the houfe of God fhall be built in it || for ever,

1 Arphaxad fortifieth Ecbatane : 5 Nabuchodonofor maketh 
•War againjl him ; 1 $ he killeth Arphaxad, &c. 

IN the twelfth year of the reign of Nabuchodonofor, 
who reigned in Nineve, the great city, (in the days of 
Arphaxad, which reigned over the Medes in Ecbatane, 

2 And built in Ecbatane walls round about, of ftones 
hewn three cubits broad, and fix cubits long ; and made 
the height of the wall feventy cubits, and the breadth 
thereof fifty cubits ; 

3 And fet the towers thereof upon the gates of it, an 
hundred cubits high, and the breadth thereof in the foun- 
dation three fcore cubits ; 

4 And he made the gates thereof, even gates that were 
raifed to the height of feventy cubits, and the breadth of 
them was forty cubits, for the going forth of his mighty 
armies, and for the fettingin array of his footmen.) 

5 Even in thofe days king Nabuchodonofor made war 
with king Arphaxad in the great plain, which is the plain 
in the borders of Pvagau. 

6 And there came unto him all they that dwelt in the 
hill country, and all that dwelt by Euphrates, and Tigris, 
and Hydafpe, and the plain of Arioch, the king of the 
Elymcans, and very many nations of the fons of Chelod, 
affembled themfelves to the battle. 

7 Then Nabuchodonofor king of the Affyrians fent 



unto all that dwelt in Perfia, and to all that dwelt weft- 
ward, and to thofe that dwelt in Cilicia, and Damafcus„ 
and Libanus, and Antiiibanus, and to ail that dwelt upon 
the fea coaft, 

8 And to thofe among the nations that were of Carmel, 
and Galaad, and the higher Galilee, and the great plain 
of Efdrelom, 

9 And to all that were in Samaria and the cities there- 
of, and beyond Jordan unto Jerufalem, and Betane, and 
Chellus, and Kades, and the river of Egypt, and Taphnes,, 
and Rameffe, and all the land of Gefem, 

10 Until you come beyond Tanis and Memphis, and 
to all the inhabitants of Egypt, until you come to the bor- 
ders of Ethiopia. 

1 1 But all the inhabitants of the land made light of the 
commandment of Nabuchodonofor king of the Affyrians, 
neither went they with him to the battle ; for they were 
not afraid of him ; yea, he was before them as one man, 
and they fent away his ambaffadors from them without 
effeft, and with difgrace. 

12 Therefore Nabuchodonofor was very angry with 
all this country, and fware by his throne and kingdom, 
that he would furely be avenged upon all thofe coafts of 
Cilicia, and Damafcus, and Syria, and that he would flay 
with the fword all the inhabitants of the land of Moab, 
and the children of Ammon, and all Judca, and all that 

were

were in Egypt, till you come to the borders of the two 
feas. 

1 3 Then he marched in battle array with his power 
againft king Arphaxad, in the feventeenth year, and he 
prevailed in his battle : for he overthrew all the power of 
Arphaxad, and all his horfemen, and all his chariots, 

14 And became lord of his cities, and came unto Ecba- 
tane, and took the towers, and fpoiled the ftreets thereof, 
and turned the beauty thereof into fhame. 

1 5 He took alfo Arphaxad in the mountains of Ragau, 
and fmote him through with his darts, and deftroyed him 
utterly that day. 

16 So he returned afterward to Nineve, both he and 
all his company of fundry nations, being a very great 
multitude of men of war, and there he took his eafe, and 
banqueted, both he and his army, an hundred and twenty 
days.

ND in the eighteenth year, the two and twentieth 
day of the firft month, there was talk in the houfe 
of Nabuchodonofor king of the AfTyrians, that he fhould, 
as he faid, avenge himfelf on all the earth. 

2 So he called unto him all his officers, and all his no- 
bles, and communicated with them his fecret counfel, and

own mouth. 

3 Then they decreed to deftroy all flefh that did not 
obey the commandment of his mouth. 

4 And when he had ended his counfel, Nabuchodono- 
for king of the AfTyrians called Holofernes the chief cap- 
tain of his army, which was f next unto him, and faid 
unto him, 

5 Thus faith the great king, the lord of the whole 
earth, Behold, thou fhalt go forth from my prefence, and 
take with thee, men that truft in their own ftrength, of 
footmen an hundred and twenty thoufand ; and the num- 
ber of horfes with their riders twelve thoufand. 

6 And thou fhalt go againft all the weft country, be- 
caufe they difobeyed my commandment. 

7 And thou fhalt declare unto them, that they prepare 
H After the for me || earth and water : for I will go forth in my wrath 
the Wags of againft them, and will cover the whole face of the earth 

earth with the feet of mine army, and I will give them for a 
ntto fpoil unto them : 

8 So that their flain fhall fill their vallies and brooks, 
and the river fhall be filled with their dead till it overflow. 

9 And I will lead them captives to the utmoft parts of 
all the earth. 

I o Thou therefore fhalt go forth, and take beforehand 
for me all their coafts ; and if they will yield themfelves 
unto thee, thou fhalt referve them for me till the day of 
their pimifhrrent. 

I I But concerning them that rebel, let not thine eyes 
fpare them : but put them to the (laughter, and fpoil them 
wherefoever thou goeft. 

1 2 For as I live, and by the power of my kingdom, 
whatfoever I have fpoken, that will I do by mine hand. 

1 3 And take thou heed that thou tranfgrefs none of the 
commandments of thy lord, but accomplifh them full) 7 , as 
I have commanded thee, and defer not to do them. 

14 Then Holofernes went forth from the prefence of 
his lord, and called all the governors, and captains, and 
the officers of the army of AlTur ;

T H, They of the fea coafts entreat for peace, 

1 5 And he muftered the chofen men for the battle, as 
his lord had commanded him, unto an hundred and twen- 
ty thoufand, and twelve thoufand archers on horfeback ; 

1 6 And he ranged them as a great army is ordered for 
the war. 

1 7 And he took camels and afTes for their carriages, a 
very great number ; and fheep, and oxen, and goats with- 
out number, for their provifion : 

1 8 And plenty of victuals for every man of the army, 
and very much gold and filver out of the king's houfe. 

19 Then h^ went forth, and all his power, to go be- 
fore king Nabuchodonofor in the voyage, and to cover 
all the face of the earth weftward with their chariots and 
horfemen, and their chofen footmen. 

20 A great number alfo of fundry countries came 
with them like locufts, and like the fand of the earth ; 
for the multitude was without number. 

2 1 And they went forth of Nineve three days' journey 
toward the plain of Bectileth, and pitched from Bectileth 
near the mountain which is at the left hand of the upper 
Cilicia. « 

22 Then he took all his army, his footmen, and horfemen, 
and chariots, and went from thence into the hill country ; 

23 And deftroyed Phud and Lud, and fpoiled all the 
children of RaiTes, and the children of Ifmael, which were 
toward the wildernefs at the fouth of the land of the 
Chellians.. 

24 Then he went over Euphrates, and went through 
Mefopotamia, and deftroyed all the high cities that were 
upon the river Arbonai, till you come to the fea. 

25 And he took the borders of Cilicia, and killed all 
that refifted him ; and came to the borders of Japheth, 
which were toward the fouth, over againft Arabia. 

16 He compafTed alfo all the children of Madian, and 
burnt up their tabernacles, and fpoiled their fheepcotes. 

27 Then he went down into the plain of Damafcus in 
the time of wheat harveft, and burnt up all their fields, 
and deftroyed their flocks and herds, alfo he fpoiled their 
cities, and utterly wafted their countries, and fmote all 
their young men with the edge of the fword. 

28 Therefore the fear and dread of him fell upon all 
the inhabitants of the fea coafts, which were in Sidon and 
Tyrus, and them that dwelt in Sur and Ofina, and all that 
dwelt in Jemnaan ; and they that dwelt in Azotus, and 
Afcalon feared him greatly. 

CHAP. III. 
I They of the fea coafs fue for peace, and receive Holofer-

O they fent ambafTadors unto him to treat of peace,

3 Behold, our houfes, and all our places, and all our

of our tents, lie before thy face j ufe them as it pleafeth 
thee. 

4 Behold, even our cities, and the inhabitants thereof, 
are thy fervants ; come and deal with them as feemeth 
good unto thee. 

5 So the men came to Holofernes, and declared unto 
him after this manner. 

6 Then came he down toward the fea coaff, both he 
and his army, and fet garrifons in the high cities, and 
took out of them chofen men for aid.

7 So they and ail the country round about received 
them with garlands, with dances, and with timbrels. 

8 Yet he did caft down their frontiers, and cut down 
their groves ; for he had decreed to deftroy all the gods 
of the land, that all nations fhould worfhip Nabuchodo- 
nofor only, and that all tongues and tribes fhould call 
upon him as God. 

9 Alfo he came over againft || Efdraelon near unto

there he tarried a whole month, that he might gather

CHAP. IV. 

I The Jews are afraid of Holofernes, 5 and fortify the hills. 
9 All Ifrael betake themf elves to fafling and prayer. 

NO W the children of Ifrael, that dwelt in Judea, 
heard all that Holofernes the chief captain of Na- 
buchodonofor king of the Affyrians had done to the na- 
tions, and after what manner he had fpoiled all their tem- 
ples, and brought them to nought. 

2 Therefore they were. exceedingly afraid of him, and 
were troubled for Jerufalem; and for the temple of the 
Lord their God : 

3 For they were newly returned from the captivity, 
and all the people || of Judea were lately gathered together : 
and the veffels, and the altar, and the houfe, were 
fandtified after the profanation. 

4 Therefore they fent into all the coafts of Samaria, 
and the villages, and to Bethoron, and Belmen, and Jeri- 
cho, and to Choba, and Efora, and to the valley of Salem : 

5 And pofTeffed themfelves beforehand of all the tops 
of the high mountains, and fortified the villages that were 
in them, and laid up victuals for the provifion of war : for 
their fields were of late reaped. 

6 Alfo Joacim the high prieft, which was in thofe days 
in Jerufalem, wrote to them that dwelt in Bethulia, and 
Betomeftham, which is over againft || Efdraelon toward 
the || open country, near to Dothaim, 

7 Charging them to keep the paffages of the hill coun- 
try : for by them there was an entrance into Judea, and 
it was eafy to ftop them that would come up, becaufe the 
paffage was ftrait || for two men at the moft. 

8 And the children of Ifrael did as Joacim the high 
prieft had commanded them, with the || ancients of all 
the people of Ifrael, which dwelt at Jerufalem. 

9 Then every man of Ifrael cried to God with great fer- 
vency, and with great vehemency, did they humble their 
fouls : 

10 Both they and their wives, and their children, and 
their cattle, and every ftranger and hireling, and their fer- 
vants bought with money, put fackdoth upon their loins. 

1 1 Thus every man and woman, and the little chil- 
dren, and the inhabitants of Jerufalem, fell before the 
temple, and caft afhes upon their heads, and fpread out 
their fackcloth before the face of the Lord : alfo they put 
fackcloth about the altar, 

1 2 And cried to the God of Ifrael all with one confent 
earneftly, that he would not give their children for a prey, 
and their wives for a fpoil, and the cities of their inher- 
itance to deftruction, and the fanccuary to profanation and 
reproach, and for the nations to rejoice at. 

13 So God heard their prayers, and looked upon their 
afflictions : for the people fafted many days in all Judea 
and Jerufalem before the fanftuary of the Lord Almighty.

IV. V. Achlor telleth what the Jews are, &c. 

14 And Joacim the high prieft, and all the priefts that 
ftood before the Lord, and they which miniftered unto 
the Lord, had their loins girt with fackcloth, and offered 
the daily burnt offerings, with the vows and free gifts of 
the people, 

15 And had afhes on their mitres, and cried unto the 
Lord with all their power, that he would look upon all 
the houfe of Ifrael gracioufly. 

C H A P. V. 

I At Holofernes' inquiry, Achior relateth ivho the Jews are, 
8 what their God had done for them, 2 1 and advifeth not 
to meddle with them. 11 All that heard him were greatly 
offended at him. 

THEN was it declared to Holofernes, the chief cap- 
tain of the army of Affur, that the children of If- 
rael had prepared for war, and had fhut up the paffages 
of the hill country, and had fortified -j- all the tops of the 
high hills, and had laid impediments in the champaign 
countries ; 

2 Wherewith he was very angry, and called all the 
princes of Moab, and the captains of Amnion, and all the 
governors of the feacoaft ; 

3 And he faid unto them, Tell me now, ye fons of 
Chanaan, who this people is that dwelleth in the hill 
country, and what are the cities that they inhabit, and 
what is the multitude of their army, and wherein is their 
power and.fbrength, and what king is fet over them, or 
captain of their army ? 

4 And why have they determined not to come and 
meet me, more than all the inhabitants of the weft ? 

5 a Then faid Achior, the captain of all the fons of 
Ammon, Let my lord now hear a word from the mouth 
of thy fervant, and I will declare unto thee the truth con- 
cerning this people, which dwelleth near thee, and inhab- 
iteth the hill countries ; and there fhall no lie come out 
of the mouth of thy fervant. 

6 This people are defcended of the Chaldeans : 

7 b And they fojourned heretofore in Mefopotamia, 
becaufe they would not follow the gods of their fathers, 
which were in the land of Chaldea. 

8 For they || left the way of their anceftors, and wor- 
fhipped the God of heaven, the God whom they knew : 
fo they caft them out from the face of their gods, and they 
fled into Mefopotamia, and fojourned there many days. 

9 Then c their God commanded them to depart from 
the place where they fojourned, and to go into the land of 
Chanaan •, where they dwelt, and were increafed with 
gold and filver, and with very much cattle. 

10 But when a famine covered all the land of Chanaan, 
they went down into Egypt, and fojourned there, while 
they were nourifhed, and became there a great multitude, 
fo that one could not number their nation. 

1 1 Therefore the king of Egypt rofe up againft them, 
and dealt fubtilely with them, and brought them low with 
labouring in d brick, and made them flaves. 

12 Then they cried unto their Cod, and he fmote all 
the land of Egypt with incurable plagues : fo the c Egyp- 
tians caft them out of their fight. 

13 And f God dried the Red fea before them, 

14 And g brought them f to mount Sina, and Cades 
Barne, and caft forth all that dwelt in the wildernefs. 

1 5 So they dwelt in the land of the AmoriteSj and they 
deftroyed by their ftrength all them of Efebon, and puff- 
ing over Jordan they poiTeJTed .^11 the hill country.

ND when the tumult of men that were about the 
council was ceafed, Holofernes, the chief captain of 
the army of AfTur, faid unto Achior and all the Moabites, 
before all the company of other nations, 

2 And who art thou, Achior, and the hirelings of 
Ephraim, that thou haft prophefied among us as today, 
and haft faid, that we fhould not make war with the peo- 
ple of Ifrael, becaufe their God will defend them ? and 
who is God but Nabuchodonofor ? 

3 He will fend his power, and will deftroy them from 
the face of the earth, and their God fhall not deliver them: 
but we his fervants will deftroy them as one man ; for 
they are not able to fuftain the power of our horfes : 

4 For with them we will tread them under foot, and 
their mountains fhall be drunken with their blood, and 
their fields fliall be filled with their dead bodies, and their 
footfteps fhall not be able to ftand before us, for they 
fhall utterly perifh, faith king Nabuchodonofor, lord of all 
the earth ; for he faid, None of my words fhall be in vain. 

5 And thou, Achior, an hireling of Ammon, which 
haft fpoken thefe words in the day of thine iniquity, fhalt 
fee my face no more from this day, until I take vengeance 
of this nation that came out of Egypt. 

6 And then fhall the fword of mine army, and the 
multitude of them that ferve me, pafs through thy fides, 
and thou fhalt fall among their flain when I return. 

7 Now, therefore, my fervants fhall bring thee back 
into the hill country, and fhall let thee in one of the cities

them. 

9 And if thou perfuade thyfelf in thy mind, that they 
fliall not be taken, let not thy countenance fall : I hav* 
fpoken it, and none of my words fhall be in vain. 

10 Then Holofernes commanded his fervants, that 
waited in his tent, to take Achior, and bring him to Be- 
thulia, and deliver him into the hands of the children of 
Ifrael. 

1 1 So his fervants took him, and brought him out of 
the camp into the plain, and they went from the midft of 
the plain into the hill country, and came unto the foun- 
tains that were under Bethulia. 

1 2 And when the men of the city faw them, they took 
up their weapons, and went out of the city to the top of 
the hill ; and every man that ufed a fling kept them from 
coming up, by calling of ftones againft them. 

1 3 Neverthelefs, having gotten privily under the hill, 
they bound Achior, and caft him down, and left him at 
the foot of the hill, and returned to their lord. 

14 But the Ifraelites defcended from their city, and 
came unto him, and loofed him, and brought him into 
Bethulia, and prefented him to the governors of the city ; 

15 Which were in thofe days, Ozias the fon of Micha, 
of the tribe of Simeon, and Chabris the fon of Gothoniel, 
and Charmis the fon of Melchiel. 

16 And they called together all the ancients of the 
city ; and all their youth ran together, and their women, 
to the afTembly, and they fet Achior in the midft of all 
their people. Then Ozias afked him of that which was 
done. 

i 7 And he anfwefed,and declared unto them the words 
of the council of Holofernes, and all the words that he 
had fpoken in the midft of the princes of Aflur, and 
whatibever Holofernes had fpoken proudly againft the 
houfe of Ifrael. 

1 8 Then the people fell down and worfhipped God, 
and cried unto God, faying, 

19 O Lord God of heaven, behold their pride, and 
pity the low eftate of our nation, and look upon the face 
of thofe that are fanctified unto thee this day. 

20 Then they comforted Achior, and praifed him 
greatly. 

2 1 And Ozias took him out of the afTembly unto his 
houfe, and made a feaft to the elders ; and they called on 
the God of Ifrael all that night for help.

THE next day Holofernes commanded all his army, 
and all his people which were come to take his part, 
that they fhould remove their camp againft Bethulia, to 
take aforehand the afcents of the hill country, and to make 
war againft the children of Ifrael. 

2 Then their ftrong men removed their camps in that 
day, and the army of the men of war was an hundred and

men, befide the baggage, and other men that were afoot 
among them; a very great multitude.

one to his neighbour, Now will thefe men lick up the i 
face of the earth ; for neither the high mountains, nor j 
the vallies, nor the hills, are able to bear their weight. 

5 Then every man took up his weapons of war, and i 
when they had kindled fires upon their towers, they re- 
mained and watched all that night. 

6 But in the fecond day, Holofernes brought forth all ] 
his horfemen in the fight of the children of Ifraet which 
were in Bethulia, . 

7 And viewed the paflages up to the city, and came , 
to the fountains of their waters, and took them, and fet , 
garrifons of men of war over their., and he himlelf re- ■ 
■moved toward his people. 

8 Then came unto him all the chief of the children of 
Efau, and all the governors of the people of Moab, and 
the captains of the fea coaft, and laid, 

9 Let our lord now hear a word, that there be not an 
overthrow in thine army. 

io For this people of the children of Ifraei do not truft 
in their lpears, but in the height of the mountains where- 
in they dwell, becauie it is not eafy to come up to the 
tops of their mountains. 

1 1 Now therefore, my lord, fight not againft them in 
battle array, and there fhall not lb much as one man of 
thy people perifli. 

1 2 Remain in thy camp, and keep all the men of thine 
army, and let thy fervants get into their hands the foun- 
tain of water, which iilueth forth of the foot of the moun- 
tain : 

13 (For all the inhabitants of Bethulia have their wa- 
ter thence ;) fo fhall thirft kill them, and they fhall give 
up their city, and we and our people fhall go up to the 
tops of the mountains that are near, and will camp upon 
them, to watch that none go out of the city. 

14 So they and their wives and their children fhall be 
confumed with famine, and before the fword come againft 
them, they fhall be overthrown in the ftreets where thev 
dwell. 

15 Thus (halt thou render them an evil reward ; be- 
caufc they rebelled, and met not thy perfon peaceably. 

1 6 And thefe words pleafed Holofernes and a?ll his fer- 
-vants, and he appointed to do as they had fpoken. 

1 7 So the camp of the children of Amnion departed, 
and with them five thoufand of the A/Tynans, and they 
pitched in the valley, and took the waters, and the foun- 
tains of the waters of the children of Ifraei. 

18 Then the children of Efau went up with the chil- 
dren of Ammon, and camped in the hill country over 
•againft Dothaim : and they fent fome of them toward the 
Couth, and toward the eaft, over againft Ekrebel, which 
is near unto Chufi, that is upon the brook Mochmur ; 
and the reft of the army of the AfTyrians camped in the 
plain, and covered the face of the whole land ; and their 
tents and carriages were pitched to a very great multitude. 

19 Then the children of Ifraei cried unto the Lord 
their God, becaufe their heart failed, for all their enemies 
had compafTed them round about, and there was no way 
to efcape out from among them. 

zo Thus all the company of AfTur remained about 
them, both their footmen, chariots, and horfemen, four 
and thirty days, fo that all their vefTels of water failed all 
the inhabitants of Bethulia. 

21 And the j| cifterns were emptied, and they had not 
water to drink their fill for one day ; for they gave them 
drink by meafure.

. VIII. The behaviour of Judith, 

22 Therefore their young children were out of heart, 
and their women and young men fainted for thirft, and 
fell down in the ftreets of the city, and by the pafTages of 
the gates, and there was no longer any ftrength in them. 

23 Then all the people afTembled to Ozias, and to the 
chief of the city, both young men, and women, and chil- 
dren, and cried with a loud voice, and faid before all the 
elders, 

24 God be a judge between us and you : for ye have aExo g. 
done us great injury, in that ye have not required peace s **• 
of the children of AfTur. 

25 For now we have no helper : but God hath fold us 
into their hands, that we fliould be thrown down before 
them with thirft and great deftruc~tion. 

26 Now therefore call them unto you, and deliver the 
whole city for a fpoil to the people of Holofernes, and to 
all his army. 

27 For it is better for us to be made a fpoil unto them, 
than to die for thirft : for we will be his fervants, that 
our fouls may live, and not fee the death of our infants 
before our eyes, nor our wives nor our children to die. 

28 We take to witnefs againft you, the heaven and the 
earth, and our God, and Lord of our fathers, which pun- 
ifheth us according to our fins, and the fins of our fathers, 

|j that he do not according as we have faid this day. nor, Ufi 

29 Then there was great weeping with one confent in meaning 
the midft of the aiTembly 5 and they cried unto the Lord n es.° cr * 
God with a loud voice. 

^o Then faid Ozias to them, Brethren, be of good, 
courage, let us yet endure five days, in the which fpace 
the Lord our God may turn his mercy toward us ; for 
he will not fcu-fake us utterly. 

3 1 And if thefe days pafs, and there come nohelp unto 
us, I will do according to your word. 

3 2 And he difperfed the people, every one to their own, 
charge ; and they went unto the walls and towers of their 
city, and fent the women and children into their houfes : 
and they were very low brought in the city.

NOW at that time Judith heard thereof, which was 
the daughter of Merari, the fon of Ox, the fon of 
Jofeph, the fon of Oziel, the fon of Elcia, the fon of Ana-

in the field, the heat came upon his head, and he fell on 
his bed, and died in thexity of Bethulia : and they buried 
him with his fathers in the held between Dothaim and 
Balamo. 

4 So Judith was a widow in her houfe three years and 
four months. 

5 And fhe made her a tent »on the top of her houfe, 
and put on fackcloth upon her loins, and ware her widow's 
apparel. 

6 And fhe fafted all the days of her widowhood, fave 
the eves of the fabbaths, and the fabbaths, and the eves 
of the new moons, and the new moons, and the feafts and

7 She was alio of a goodly countenance, and very 
beautiful to behold : and her hufband Manaffes had left 
her gold, and filver, and men Servants, and maid fervants, 

or, a-.i and cattle, and lands ; || and fhe remained upon them. 

8 And there was none that gave her an ill word ; for 
fhe feared God greatly. 

9 Now when fhe heard the evil words of the people 
again ft the governor, that they fainted for lack of water, 

a ci-ap. 7 (f or Judith had heard a all the words that Ozias had 
fpoken unto them, and that he had fworn to deliver the 
city unto the Affyrians after five days,) 

io Then fhe lent her waiting woman, that had the 
government of all things that fhe had, to call Ozias, and 
Chabris, and Charmis, the ancients of the city. 

1 1 And they came unto her : and fhe faid unto them, 
Hear me now, O ye governors of the inhabitants of Be- 
thulia : for your words that ye have fpoken before the 
people this day are not right, touching this oath which 
ye made and pronounced between God and you, and 
have promifed to deliver the city to our enemies, unlefs 
within thefe days the Lord turn to help you. 

1 2 And now, who are ye that have tempted God this 
day, and ftand inftead of God among the children of men ? 

1 3 And now try the Lord Almighty, but ye fhall never 
know any thing. 

14 For ye cannot find the depth of the heart of man, 
neither can ye perceive the things that he thinketh ; then 
how can ye fearch out God, that hath made all thefe 
things, and know his mind, or comprehend his purpofe ? 
Nay, my brethren, provoke not the Lord our God to anger. 

15 For if he will not help us within thefe five days, he 
hath power to defend us when he will, even every day, 
or to defiroy us before our enemies. 

1 6 Do not || bind the counfels of the Lord our God : 
for b God is not as man, that he may be threatened ; nei- 
ther is he as the fon of man, that he fhould be wavering. 

1 7 Therefore let us wait for falvation of him, and call 
upon him to help us, and he will hear our voice, if it 
pleafe him. 

1 8 For there arofe none in our age, neither is there 
n or.w-uJB. any now in thefe days, neither tribe nor family, nor || peo- 
ple, nor city, among us, which worfhip gods made with 

c judges j hands, c as hath been aforetime. 

& 6 Ji 19 For the which caufe our fathers were given to the 

fword, and for a fpoil, and had a great fall before our 

enemies. 

20 But we know none other God, therefore we truft 
that he will not defpife us, nor any of our nation. 

2 1 For if we be taken fo, all Judea fhall lie wafte, and 
our fanctuary fhall be fpoiled ; and he will require the 
profanation thereof at our mouth. 

\lot,/car. 22 And the || Slaughter of our brethren, and the cap- 

tivity of the country, and the defolation of our inherit- 
ance, will he turn upon our heads among the Gentiles, 
wherefoever we fhall be in bondage ; and we fhall be an 
offence and a reproach to all them that poffefs us. 

23 For our fervitude fhall not be directed to favour : 
but the Lord our God fhall turn it to difhonour. 

24 Now, therefore, O— brethren, let us fhew an exam- 
ple to our brethren becauTe their hearts depend upon us : 
and the fanctuary,and the houfe,and the altar,reft upon us. 

25 Moreover, let us give thanks to the Lord-our God, 
which trieth us, even as he did our fathers.

how lie tried Ifaac, and what happened to c Jacob in Me-

27 For he hath not tried us in the fire, as he did them', 
for the examination of their hearts, neither hath he taken 
vengeance on us : but the Lord doth fcourge them that 
come near unto him, to admonifh them. 

28 Then faid Ozias to her, All that thou haft fpoken, 
haft thou fpoken with a good heart, and there is none 
that may gainfay thy words. 

29 For this is not the firft day wherein thy wifdom is 
manifefted •, but from the beginning of thy days, all the 
people have known thy underftanding, becaufe the difpo- 
fition of thine heart is good. 

30 But the people were very thirfty, and compelled us 
to do unto them as we have fpoken, and to bring an oath 
upon ourfelves which we will not break. 

3 1 Therefore now pray thou for us, becaufe thou art 
a godly woman, and the Lord will fend us rain to fill our 
cifterns, and we fhall faint no more. 

32 Then faid Judith unto them, Hear me, and I will 
do a thing which fhall go throughout all generations to 
the children of our nation. 

33 Ye fhall ftand this night in the gate, and I will go- 
forth with my waiting woman : and within the days that 
ye have promifed to deliver the city to our enemies, the 
Lord will vifit Ifrael by mine hand. 

3 4 But inquire not ye of mine act : for I will not de- 
clare it unto you, till the things be fmifhed that I do. 

35 Then faid Ozias and the princes unto her, Go in 
peace, and the Lord God be before thee, to take ven- 
geance on our enemies. 

36 So they returned from the tent, and went to their 
wards.

her head, and uncovered the fackcloth wherewith 
fhe was clothed ; and, about the time that the incenfe of 
that evening was offered in Jerufalem, in the houfe of the

2 O Lord God of my father a Simeon, to whom thou a cenefis 
gaveft a fword to take vengeance of the ftrangers, who 34i * ;>- 
loofened the girdle of a maid to defile her, and difcovered 

the thigh to her fhame, and polluted her virginity to her 
reproach ; (for thou faidft it fhall not be fo, and yet they 
did fo j) 

3 Wherefore thou gaveft their rulers to be flain, fo 
that they dyed their bed in blood, being deceived, and 
fmoteft the fervants with their lords, and the lords upon 
their thrones ; 

4 And haft given their wives for a prey, and their 
daughters to be captives, and all their fpoils to be divided 
among thy dear children, which were moved with thy 
zeal, and abhorred the pollution of their blood, and call- 
ed upon thee for aid : O God, O my God, hear me alfo 
a widow. 

5 For thou haft wrought not only thofe things, but 
alfo the things which fell out before, and which enfued" 
after ; thou haft thought upon the things which are now, 
and which are to come. 

6 Yea, what things thou didft determine were ready at

prepared, and thy judgments are in thy foreknowledge.

fpear, and bow, and fling, and know not that thou art

2 She rofe where fhe had fallen down, and called her 
maid, and went down into the houfe in the which fhe 
abode in the fabbath days, and in her feaft days, 

3 And pulled off the fackcloth which fhe had on, and 
put off the garments 01 her widowhood, andwafhed her

put on a f tire upon it, and put on her garments of glad-

they worfhipped God. 

9 And fhe laid unto them, Command the gates of the 
city to be opened unto me, that I may go forth to accom> 
plifh the things whereof ye have fpoken with me : So they 
commanded the young men to open unto her, as fhe had 
fpoken. 

10 And, when they had done fo, Judith went out, fhe, 
and her maid with her ; and the men of the city looked 
after her, until fhe was gone down the mountain, and till 
fhe had paffed the valley, and could fee her no more. 

1 1 Thus they went ftraight forth in the valley •, and 
the firft watch of the Afiyrians met her, 

12 And took her, and afked her, Of what people art 
thou ? and whence coined: thou ? and whither goeft thou ? 
And fhe faid, I am a woman of the Hebrews, and am fled 
from them : for they fhall be given you to be confumed : 

1 3 And I am coming before Holofernes the chief cap- 
tain of your army, to declare words of truth ; and I will 
fhew him a way whereby he fhall go, and win all the 
hill country, without loiing the body Or life of any one of 
his men. 

1 4 Now, when the men heard her words, and beheld 
her countenance, they wondered greatly at her beauty, 
and faid unto her, 

15 Thou haft faved thy life, in that thou haft hafted to 
come down to the prefence of our lord : now, therefore, >

they have delivered thee to his hands.

in thine heart, but fhew unto him according to thy 
word ; and he will entreat thee well. 

1 7 Then they chofe out of them an hundred men || to 
accompany her and her maid ; and they brought her to 
the tent of Holofernes. 

1 8 Then was there a concourfe throughout all the 
camp; for her coming was noifed amongthe tents, and they 
came about her, as ihe ftood without the tent of Holo- 
fernes, till they told him of her. 

19 And they wondered at her beauty, and admired 
the children of Ifrael becaufe of her ; and every one faid 
to his neighbour, Who would defpife this people, that 
have among them fuch women ? furely it is not good that 
one man of them be left, who, being let go, might de- 
ceive the whole earth. 

20 And they that lay near Holofernes went out, and 
all his fervants, and they brought her into the tent. 

21 Now Holofernes refted upon his bed under a can- 
opy which was woven with purple, and gold, and emer- 
alds, and precious ftones. 

22 So they fhewed him of her ; and he came out before 
his tent, with filver lamps going before him.

of good comfort, thou fhalt live this night, and hereafter : 

4 For none lhall hurt thee, but entreat thee well, as 
they do the fervants of king Nabuchodonofor my lord. 

5 Then Judith faid unto him, Receive the words of 
thy fervant, and fuffer thine handmaid to fpeak in thy 
prefence, and I will declare no lie to my lord this night ; 

6 And if thou wilt follow the words' of thine hand- 
maid, God will bring the thing perfectly to pais by thee •, 
and my lord fhall not fail of his purpofes. 

7 As Nabuchodonofor king of ah the earth liveth, and 
as his power liveth, who hath fent thee for the upholding 
of every living thing : for not only men fhall ferve him 
by thee, but alfo the beafts of the field, and the cattle, 
and the fowls of the air, fhall live by thy power under 
Nabuchodonofor and all his houfe. 

8 For we have heard of thy wifdom, and thy policies, 
por, h and it is reported in all the earth that thou only art || ex- 
cellent in all the kingdom, and mighty in knowledge, 
and wonderful in feats of war. 

9 Now, as concerning the matter which Achior did 
fpeak in thy council, we have heard his words : for the 
men of Bethulia || faved him, and he declared unto them 
all that he had fpoken unto thee. 

io Therefore, O lord and governor, reject not his 
word ; but lay it up in thine heart, for it is true : for our 
nation fhall not be punifhed, neither can the fword pre- 
vail againft them, except they fin againft their God. 

1 1 And now, that my lord be not defeated, and 
fruftrate of his purpofe, even death is now fallen upon 
them, and their fin hath overtaken them, wherewith 
they will provoke their God to anger, whenfoever they 
ihall do that which is not fit to be done : 

i 2 For their victuals fail them, and all their water is 
fcant •, and they have determined to lay hands upon their 
cattle, and purpofed to confume all thofe things that God 
hath forbidden them to eat by his laws ; 

13 And are refolved to fpend the firft fruits of the 
corn, and the tenths of wine and oil, which they had 
fanctined, and referved for the prieft that ferve in Jeru- 
salem before the face of our God •, the which things it is 
not lawful for any of the people fo much as to touch with 
their hands. 

14 For they have fent fome to Jerufalem, becaufe 
they alfo that dwell there have done the like, to bring 
them a licenfe from the fenate. 

1 5 Now when they fhall bring them word, they will 
forthwith do it, and they fhall be given thee to be de- 
Uioyed the fame day. 

16 Wherefore I thine handmaid, knowing all this, am 
fled from their prefence ; and God hath fent me to work 
t/n'ngs with thee, whereat all the earth fhall be aftonifhed, 
and whofoever mall hear it. 

17 For thy fervant is religious, and ferveth the God 
of heaven day and night : now, therefore, my lord, I will 
remain with thee, and thy fervant will go out by night 
into the valley, and I will pray unto God, and he will 
tell me when they have committed their fins : 

18 And I will come and fhew it unto thee : then thou 
fhalt go forth with all thine army, and there fhall be 
none of them that lhall refill: thee.

me according to my foreknowledge, and they were declared MngUsfnu 
unto me, and I am fent to tell thee. i/pote». 

20 Then her words pleafed Holofernes, and all his 
fervants •, and they marvelled at her wifdom, and faid, 

21 There is not fuch a woman from one end of the 
earth to. the other, both for beauty of face and wifdom of 
words. 

22 Likewife Holofernes faid unto her, God hath done 
well to fend thee before the people, that ftrength might be 
in our hands, and deftruction upon them that lightly re- 
gard my lord. 

23 And now thou art both beautiful in thy countenance, 
and witty in thy words : furely, if thou do as thou haft 
fpoken, thy God ihall be my God, and thou fhalt dwell, 
in the houfe of king Nabuchodonofor, and fhalt be re- -

be an offence : but provifions lhall be made for me of the Damci 1 r. 
things that I have brought. 

3 Then Holofernes faid unto her, If thy provifion 
fhould fail, how Ihould we give thee the like ? for there 
be none with us of thy nation. 

4 Then faid Judith unto him, As thy foul liveth, my 
lord, thine handmaid fhall not fpend thofe things that I 
have before the Lord work by mine hand the things that 
he hath determined. 

5 Then the fervants of Holofernes brought her into 
the tent, and fhe flept till midnight, and £he arofe when 
it was toward the morning watch, 

6 And fent to Flolofernes, faying, Let my lord now 
command that thine handmaid may go forth unto prayer. 

7 Then Holofernes commanded his guard that they 
fhould not ftay her; thus fhe abode in the camp three days, 
and went out in the night into the valley of Bethulia, and 
wafhed herfelf in a fountain of water by the camp. 

8 And when fhe came out, fhe befought the Lord God 
of Ifrael to direct her way to the railing up of the chil- 
dren of her people. 

9 So fhe came in clean, and remained in the tent, until 
fhe did eat her meat at evening. 

I o And in the fourth day Holofernes made a feaft to 
his own fervants only, and called none of the officers to 
the banquet. 

I I Then faid he to Bagoas the eunuch, who had charge 
over all that he had, Go now, and perfuade this Hebrew J 
woman which is with thee, that fhe come unto us, and 
eat and drink with us. 

1 2 For, lo, it will be a fhame for our perfon, if we 
fhall let fuch a woman go, not having had her company : 
for if we draw her not unto us, fhe will laugh us to fcorn. 

13 Then went Bagoas from the prefence of Holofer- 
nes, and came to her, and he faid, Let not this fair dam- 
fel fear to come to my lord, and to be honoured in his 
prefence, and drink wine, and be merry with us, and be 
made this day as one of the daughters of the Affyrians, 
which ferve in the houfe of Nabuchodonofor. 

14 Then

fliould gainfay my lord ? 'Surely whatfoever pleafeth him, 
I will do fpeediiy, and it fhall be my joy unto the day of 
my death. 

15 So fhe arofe, and decked herfelf with her apparel, 
and all her woman's attire : and her maid went and laid 
(oft {kins on the ground for her, ever againft Holofernes, 
which fhe had received of Bagoas for her daily ufe, that 
fhe might fit and eat upon them. 

16 Now when Judith came in and fat down, Holofernes' 
heart was ravifhed with her, and his mind was moved, 
and he defired greatly her company ; for he waited a time 
to deceive her, from the day that he had feen her. 

1 7 Then faid Holofernes unto her, Drink now, and be 
merry with us. 

1 8 So Judith faid, I will drink now, my lord, becaufe 
my life is magnified in me this day mere than all the days 
fince I was born. 

1,9 Then fhe took and ate and drank before him what 
her maid had prepared. 

20 And Holofernes took great delight in her, and 
drank much more wine than he had drunk at any time 
in one day fince he was born. 

C II A P. XIII. 
I Judith, left alone with Holofernes in the tent, 4 prayeth 

God to give her frength : Sfae cutteth off his head while

NOW, when the evening was come, his fervants made 
hafte to depart, and Bagoas fhut his tent with- 
out, and difmiffed the waiters from the prefence of his 
lord : and they went to their beds : for they were all 
weary, becaufe the feaft had been long. 

2 And Judith was left alone in the tent, and Holo- 
fernes lying alone upon his bed : for he was filled with 
a wine. 

3 Now Judith had commanded her maid to ftand 
without her bed chamber, and to wait for her coming 
forth, as fhe did daily : for fhe faid fhe would go forth 
to her prayers, and fhe fpake to Bagoas according to the 
fame purpofe. 

4 So all went forth, and none was left in the bed 
chamber, neither little nor great. Then Judith, {land- 
ing by his bed, faid in her heart, O Lord God of all 
power, look at this prefent upon the works of mine 
hands for the exaltation of Jerufalem. 

5 For now is the time to help thine inheritance, and 
to execute mine enterprises, to the deftrudtion of the 
enemies which are rifen againft us. 

6 Then fhe came to the pillar of the bed which was at 
Holofernes' head, and took down his fauchion from 
thence, 

7 And approached to his bed, and took hold of the 
hair of his head, and faid, Strengthen me, O Lord God 
of Ifrael, this day. 

8 And {he fmote twice upon his neck with all her 
might, and fhe took away his head from him, 

9 And tumbled his body down from the bed, and pulled j 
down the canopy from the pillars ; and anon after, fhe went ! 
forth, and gave Holofernes' head to her maid : 

10 And fhe put it in her bag of meat ; fo they twain 
went together, according to their cuftom, unto prayer ; 
and when they paffed the camp, they compaffed the valley, 
and went up the mountain of Bcthulia, and came to the 
gates thereof. 

n Then faid Judith afar off to the. watchmen at the 



gate, Open, open now the gate : God, even our God, is 
with us, to fhew his power yet in Jerufalem, and his 
forces againft the enemy, as he hath even done this day. 
1 2 Now when the men of her city heard her voice, 
they made hafte to go down to the gate of their city, and. 
they called the elders of the city. 

1 3 And then they ran all together, both fmall and great, 
for it was ftrange unto them that fhe was come : fo thev 
opened the gate, and received them, and made a fire for 
a light, and flood round about them. 

14 Then {he faid to them with, a loud voice, Praife, 
praife God, praife God, I fay ; for he hath not taken away 
his mercy from the houfe of Ifrael, but hath deftroyed 
our enemies by mine hands this night. 

15 So fhe took the head out of the bag, and fhewed it, 
and faid unto them, Behold the head of Holofernes, the 
chief captain of the army of Affur, and behold the canopy 
wherein he did lie in his drunkennefs ; and the Lord hath 
imitten him by the hand of a woman. 

16 As the Lord liveth, who hath kept me in my way 
that I went, my countenance hath deceived him to hia 
deftruction, and yet hath he not committed iin with me, 
to defile and fhame me. 

17 Then all the people were wonderfully aftonifhed. 
and bowed themfelves, and worfhipped God, and faid 
with one accord, Bleffed be thou, O our God, which haft 
this day brought to nought the enemies of thy people. 

18 Then faid Ozias unto her, O daughter, bleffed art" 
thou of the moil high God above all the women upon the 
earth ; and bleffed be the Lord God, which hath created 
the heavens and the earth, which hath directed thee to 
the cutting off of the head of the chief of our enemies. 

19 For this thy confidence fhall not depart from the 
heart of men, which remember the power of God, for ever. 

20 And God turn thefe things to thee for a perpetual 
praife to vifit thee in good things, becaufe thou haft not 
fpared thy life for the affliction of our nation, but haft 
revenged our ruin, walking a ftraight way before our 
God. And all the people faid, So be it, fo be it. 

C H A P. XIV. 

r Judith advifeih how to give the alarm to the Affyrians : 
5 fie fendeth for Achibr. 1 1 The head of Holofernes is ' 
hanged up, and the camp alarmed, &c. 

THEN faid Judith unto them, Hear me now, my 
brethren, and take this head, and hang it upon the 
higheft place of your walls. 

2 And fo foon as the morning fhall appear, and the 
fun fhall come forth upon the earth, take ye every one 
his weapons, and go forth every valiant man out of the 
city, and fet ye a captain over them, as though ye would 
go down into the field toward the watch of the Alfyrians, 
but go not down. 

3 Then they fhall take their armour, and. fhall go into 
their camp, and raife up the captains of the army of Affur, 
and they fhall run to the tent of Holofernes, but fhall not 
find him : then fear fhall fall upon them, and they fhall ; 
(Ice before your face. 

4 So yc, and all that inhabit the coaft of Ifrael, fhall 
purfue them, and overthrow them as they go. 

5 But before ye do thefe things, call me Achior the 
Ammonite, that he may fee and know him that defpifed. 
the houfe of Ifrael, and that fent him to us as it were to 
his death. 

6 Then they called Achior out of the houfe of Ozias ; ; 
and when he was come, and faw the head of Holofernes

in a man's hand in the affembly of the people, he fell down 
on his face, and his fpirit failed. 

7 But when they had .recovered him, he fell at Judith's 
feet, and reverenced her, and' faid, Bleffed art thou in 
till the tabernacle of Juda, and in all nations, which hear- 
ing thy name fliall be aftonifhed. 

8 Now, therefore, tell me all the things that thou haft 
done in thefe days. Then Judith declared unto him, in 
the midft of the people, all that fhe had done, from the day 
that flue went forth, until that hour fhe fpake unto them. 

9 And when fhe had left off fpeaking, the people fhout- 
ed with a loud voice, and made a joyful noife in their city. 

to And when Achior had feen all that the God of If- 
rael had done, he believed in God greatly, and circum- 
cifed the flefh of his forefkin, and was joined unto the 
houfe of Ifrael unto this day. 

1 1 And as foon as the morning arofe, they hanged the 
head of Holofernes upon the wall, and every man took 
hisweapons, and they went forth by bands unto the || (traits 
of the mountain. 

1 2 But when the Affyrians faw them, they fent to their 
leaders, which came to their captains and tribunes, and 
to every one of their rulers. 

1 3 So they came to Holofernes' tent, and faid to him 
that had the charge of all his things, Waken now our lord ; 
for the flaves have been bold to come down againft us to 
battle, that they may be utterly deftroyed. 

1 4 Then went in Bagoas, and knocked at the door of 
the tent ; for he thought that he had flept with Judith. 

15 But becaufe none anfwered, he opened it, and went 
into the bed chamber, and found him caff upon the floor 
dead, and his head was taken from him. 

% 7hm. 1 6 || Therefore he cried with a loud voice, with weep- 

ing, and fighing, and a mighty cry, and rent his garments. 

1 7 After he went into the tent where Judith lodged ; 
and when he found her not, he leaped out to the people, 
and cried, 

1 8 Thefe flaves have dealt treacheroufly ; one woman 
of the Hebrews hath brought fhame upon the houfe of 
king Nabuchodonofor ; for, behold, Holofernes lieth upon 
the ground without a head. 

19 When the captains of the Affyrians' army heard 
thefe words, they rent their coats, and their minds were 
wonderfully troubled, and there was a cry, and a very 
great noife throughout the camp. 

CHAP. XV.

N D when they that were in the tents heard, they, 
were aftonifhed at the thing that was done. 

2 And fear and trembling fell upon them, fo that there 
was no man that durft abide in the fight of his neighbour, 
but rufhing out all together, they fled into every way of 
the plain, and of the hill country. 

3 They alfo that had camped in the mountains round 
about Bethulia, fled away. Then the children of Ifrael, 
every one that was a warrior among them, rufhed out 
upon them. 

4 Then fent Ozias to Betomafthem, and to Bebai, and 
Chobai, and Cola, and to all the coafts of Ifrael, fuch as 
fhould tell the things that were done, and that all fhould 
rufh forth upon their enemies to deftroy them.

and from all the hill country, (for men had told them what 
things were done in the camp of their enemies,) and they 
that were in Galaad and in Galilee || chafed them with a 
great daughter, . until they were paft Damafcus, and the 
borders thereof. 

6 And the refidue that dwelt at Bethulia fell upon the 
camp of Affur,and fpoiled them, and were greatly enriched. 

7 And the children of Ifrael that returned from the 
(laughter had that which remained 5 and the villages, and 
the cities, that were in the mountains and in the plain, 
gat many fpoils ; for the multitude was very great. 

8 Then Joacim the high prieft, and the ancients of 
the children of Ifrael that dwelt in Jerufalem, came to 
behold the good things that God had fhewed to Ifrael, 
and to fee Judith, and to falute her. 

9 And when they came unto her, they bleffed her with 
one accord, and faid unto her, Thou art the exaltation of 
Jerufalem, thou art the great glory of Ifrael, thou art the 
great rejoicing of our nation. 

10 Thou haft done all thefe things by thine hand ; thou 
haft done much good to Ifrael, and God is pleafed there- 
with : bleffed be thou of the Almighty Lord for ever- 
more. And all the' people faid, So be it. 

1 1 And the people fpoiled the camp the fpace of thirty 
days : and they gave unto Judith Holofernes' tent, and 
all his plate, and beds, and veffels, and all his ftuff : and 
fhe took it, and laid it on her mule ; and made ready her 
carts, and laid them thereon. 

1 2 Then all the women of Ifrael ran together to fee 
her, and bleffed her, and made a dance among them for 
her ; and fhe took branches in her hand, and gave alfo 
to the women that were with her. 

1 3 And they put a garland of olive upon her, and her 
maid that was with her, and fhe went before all the peo- 
ple in the dance, leading all the women : and all the men 
of Ifrael followed in their armour with garlands, and with 
fongs in their mouths.

2 And Judith faid, begin unto my God with timbrels, 
fing unto my Lord with cymbals : tune unto him a || new

3 For God breaketh the battles : for among the camps 
in the midft of the people he hath delivered me out of 
the hands of them that perfecuted me. 

4 Affur came out of the mountains from the north, 
he came with ten thoufands of his army, the a multitude , 
whereof flopped the torrents, and their horfemen have 
covered the hills. 

5 He bragged that he would burn up my borders, and 
kill my young men with the fword, and dalh the fucking 
children againft the ground, and make mine infants as a 
prey, and my virgins as a fpoil : 

6 But the Almighty Lord hath difappointed them by 
the hand of a woman. 

7 For the mighty one did not fall by the young men, 
neither did the fons of the Titans finite him, nor high 
giants fet upon him : but Judith the daughter of Merari

8 For fhe put off the garment of her widowhood for 
the exaltation of thofe that were oppreiTed in Ifrael, and 
anointed her face with ointment, and bound her hair in 
a f tire, and took a linen garment to deceive him. 

9 Her fandals ravifhed his eyes, her beauty took his

thou art great and glorious, wonderful in ftrength, and 
invincible. 

14 Let all creatures ferve thee : for thou fpakeft, and 
they were made ; thou didft fend forth thy Spirit, and it 
created them ; and there is none that can refift thy voice. 

1 5 For the mountains fhall be moved from their foun- 
dations with the waters, the rocks fhall melt as wax at thy 
prefence : yet thou art merciful to them that fear thee. 

16 For all facrifice is too little for a fweet favour unto 
thee, and all the fat is not fufficient for thy burnt offer- 
ing : but he that feareth the Lord is great at all times. 

1 7 Woe to the nations that rife up againft my kindred ! 
the Lord Almighty will take vengeance of them in the

and they fhall feel them, and weep for ever.

18 Now, as foon as they entered into Jerufalem, they 
worshipped the Lord ; and as foon as the people were 
purified, they offered their burnt offerings, and their free 
offerings, and their gifts. - 

19 Judith alfo dedicated all the ftuff of Holofernes* 
which the people had given her, and gave the canopy, 
which fhe had taken out of his bed chamber, for a gift 
unto the Lord. 

20 So the people continued feafting in Jerufalem be- 
fore the fanctuary for the fpace of three months, and Ju- 
dith remained with them. 

21 After this time every one returned to his own in- 
heritance, and Judith went to Bethulia, and remained in 
her own poffefiion, and was in her time honourable in all 
the country. 

22 And many defired her, but none knew her all the 
days of her life, after that Manaffes her huiband was dead, 
and was gathered to his people. 

23 But fhe increafed more and more in honour, and 
waxed old in her hufband's houfe, being an hundred and 
five years old ; and made her maid free ; fo fhe died in 
Bethulia : and they buried her in the [| cave of her huf-

24 And the houfe of Ifrael lamented her b feven days : 
and before fhe died, fhe did diftribute her goodsto all them

river and the tivo dragons. 

THEN Mardocheus faid, God hath done thefe 
things. 
5- For I remember a dream which I faw concerning 
thefe matters, and nothing thereof hath failed. 

6 A little fountain became a river, and there was light, 
and the fun, and much water : this river is Efther, whom 
the king married, and made queen. 

7 And the two dragons are I and Aman. 

8 And the nations were thofe that were affembled to 
deftroy the name of the Jews : 

9 And my nation is this Ifrael, which cried to God, 
and were faved : for the Lord hath faved his people, and 
the Lord hath delivered us from all thofe evils, and God 
hath wrought figns and great wonders, which have not 
been done among the Gentiles. 

I o Therefore hath he made two lots, one for the people 
of God, and another for all the Gentiles. 

I I And thefe two lots came at the hour, and time, and 
day of judgment, before God among all nations. 

12 So God remembered his people, and juftificd his 
inheritance. 

13 Therefore thofe days fhall be unto them in the 
month Adar, the fourteenth and fifteenth day of the fame

IN the fourth year of the reign of Ptolemeus and Cleo--

and Ptolemeus his fon, brought this epiftle of Phurim,. 
which they faid was the fame, and that Lyfimachus the fon 
of Ptolemeus, that was in Jerufalem, had interpreted it. 

2 In the fecond year of the reign of Artaxerxes the 
great, in the firft day of the month Nifan, Mardocheus 
the fon of Jairus, the fon of Semei, the fon of Cifai, of 
the tribe of Benjamin, had a dream ; 

3 Who was a Jew, and dwelt in the city of Sufa, a great- 
man, being a fervitor in the king's court. 

4 He was alfo one of the captives which Nabuchodo-- 
nofor the king of Babylon carried from Jerufalem, with 
Jeconias king of Judea ; and this was his dream. 

5 Behold, a noife of a tumult with thunder and earth- 
quakes-, and uproar in the land : 

6 And, behold, two great dragons came forth ready to 
fight, and their cry was great. 

7 And at their cry all nations were prepared to battle, 
that they might fight againft the righteous people. 

8 And, lo, a day of darknefs and obfeurity, tribulation 
and anguiih, affliction and great uproar, upon the earth.

9 And the whole righteous nation was troubled, fear- 
ing their own evils, and were ready to perifh. 

io Then they cried unto God •> and upon their cry, as 
it were from a little fountain, was made a great flood, 
even much water. 

1 1 The light and the fun rofe up, and the lowly were 
exalted, and devoured the glorious. 

1 2 Now when Mardocheus, who had feen this dream, 
and what God had determined to do, was awake, he bare 
this dream in mind, and until night by all means was de- 
firous to know it.

3 Then the king examined the two eunuchs, and after 
that they had confefled it, they were ftrangled. 

4 And the king made a record of thefe things, and 
Mardocheus alio wrote thereof. 

5 So the king commanded Mardocheus to ferve in the 
court, and for this he rewarded him.

i r Thou art Lord of all things, and there is no man 
that can relift thee, which art the Lord. 

1 2 Thou knoweft all things, and thou knoweft, Lord, 
that it was neither in contempt nor pride, nor for any 
defire of glory, that I did not bow down to proud Aman. 

13 For I could have been content with good will, for 
the falvation of Ifrael, to kifs the foies of his feet. 

14 But I did this, that I might not prefer the glory of 
man above the glory of God : neither will I worfhip any 
but thee, O God ; neither will I do it in pride. 

1 5 And now, O Lord God and king, fpare thy people : 
for their eyes are upon us to bring us to nought ; yea, 
they defire to deftroy the inheritance that hath been thine 
from the beginning. 

16 Defpife not the portion, which thou haft delivered 
out of Egypt for thine own felf. 

17 Hear my prayer, and be merciful unto thine inher- 
itance : turn our forrow into joy, that we may live, O 
Lord, and praife thy name : and || deftroy not the mouths 
of them that praife thee, O Lord.

I The letter of Artaxerxes, I o wherein he fetteth forth A- 
tnan's wicked deftgns : 17 he revoketh the letters fent forth 
againjl the Jews : 11 the day of their deliverance to be kept 
holy, 

THE great king Artaxerxes, unto the princes and Kcph, 
governors of an hundred and feven and twenty 
provinces, from India unto Ethiopia, and unto all || our 
faithful fubjects, greeting : 

2 Many, the more often they are honoured with the 
great bounty of f their gracious princes, the more proud 
they are waxen, 

3 And endeavour to hurt, not our fubjects only, but, 
not being able to bear abundance, do take in hand to 
praclife alfo againft thofe that do them good ; 

4 And take not only thankfulnefs away from among 
men, but alfo lifted up with the glorious words of || lewd 
perfons || that were never good, they think to efcape the 
juftice of God, that feeth all things, and hateth evil. 

5 Oftentimes alfo fair fpeech || of thofe that are put in 
truft to manage their friends' affairs, hath caufed many 
that are in authority to be partakers of innocent blood, 
and hath enwrapped them in remedilefs calamities ; 

6 Beguiling, with the falfehood and deceit of their lewd 
difpofition, the innocency and goodnefs of princes. 

7 Now ye may fee this, as we have declared, not fo 
much by ancient hiftories, as ye may, if ye fearch what 
hath been wickedly done of late through the peftilent be- 
haviour of them that are unworthily placed in authority. 

8 And we muft take care for the time to come, that 
our kingdom may be quiet and peaceable for all men. 

9 Both by changing our purpofes, and always judging 
things that are evident with more equal proceeding. 

10 For Aman, a Macedonian, the fon of Amadatha, be- 
ing indeed a ftranger from the Perfian blood, and far dif- 
tant from our goodnefs, and as a ftranger, received of us, 

1 1 Had fo far forth obtained the favour that we fhew 
toward every nation, as that he was called our father, and 
was continually honoured of all men, as the next perfon 
unto the king. 

1 2 But he, not bearing his great dignity, went about 
to deprive us of our kingdom and life ; 

1 3 Having, by manifold and cunning deceits, fought 
of us the deftrudtion as well of Mardocheus, who faved 
our life, and continually procured our good, as alfo of 
blamelefs Efther, partaker of our kingdom, with their 
whole nation. 

14 For by thefe means he thought, finding us deftitute 
of friends, to have tranflated the kingdom of the Perfians 
to the Macedonians. 

1 5 But we find that the Jews, whom this wicked wretch 
hath delivered to utter deftru&ion, are no evil doers, but 
live by molt juft laws ;

I An exhortation to love rigbteoufnefs. 4. Who they are "with 
•whom •wifdom •will not dwell. 12 A caution, &c. 

OVE i righteoufnefs, ye that be judges of the earth : 
think of the Lord with a good (heart) and in fim- 
plicity of heart feek him. 

2 For he will be found of them that tempt him not ; 
and fheweth himfelf unto fuch as do not b diftruft him. 

3 For froward thoughts feparate from God ; and his 
power, when it is tried, || reproveth the unwife. 

4 For into a malicious foul wifdom fhall not enter •, 
nor dwell in the body that is fubje£t unto fin. 

5 c For the holy fpirit of difcipline will flee deceit, and 
remove from thoughts that are without underftanding, 
and || will not abide when unrighteoufnefs cometh in. 

6 For wifdom is a d loving fpirit •, and will not acquit 
a blafphemer of his |) words : for God is witnefs of his 
reins, and a true beholder of his heart, and a hearer of 
his tongue. 

7 For the Spirit of the Lord filleth the world : and that 
which || containeth all things hath knowledge of the voice. 

8 Therefore he that fpeaketh unrighteous things can- 
not be hid : neither fhall vengeance, when it punifheth, 
pafs by him. 

9 For inquifition fhall be made into the ccunfels of the 
ungodly : and the found of his words fhall come unto the 
Lord, for the || manifefbtion of his wicked deeds. 

10 For the ear of jealoufy heareth all things j and the 
noife of murmurings is not hid. 

1 1 Therefore beware of murmuring, which is unprofit- 
able 5 and refrain your tongue from backbiting : for there 
is no word fo fecret, that fhall go for nought ; and the 
mouth that || belieth, flayeth the foul. 

1 2 Seek not death in the error of your life : and pull 
not upon yourfelves e deftruction with the works of your 
hands. 

1 3 For God made not death : neither hath he pleafure 
in the deftruftion of the living. 

14 For he created all things, that they might have their 
being ; and the generations of the world were healthful : 
and there is no poifon of deftruc"tion in them, nor the 
kingdom of death upon the earth : 

15 (For righteoufnefs is immortal :) 

16 But ungodly men, with their works and words, call- 
ed it to them : for when they thought to have it their 



friend, they confumed to nought, and made a covenant" 
with it, becaufe they are worthy to take part with it. 

CHAP. II. 

1 The ungodly, reafoning of the jhortnefs of life, and man 's final 
extinclion by death, 9 encourage themfelves in fenfuality, C5Y. 

FOR the ungodly faid, reafoning with themfelves, but 
not aright, a Our life is fhort and tedious, b and in 
the death of a man there is no remedy : neither was there 
any man known to have returned from the grave. 

2 For we are born at all adventure ; and we fhall be 
hereafter as though we had never been ; for the breath in 
our noftrils is as fmoke, and a little fpark in the moving 
of our heart : 

3 Which being extinguifhed, our body fhall be turned 
into afhes, and our fpirit fhall vanifh as the \\ foft air, 

4 And our name fhall be forgotten in time, and no man 
fhall have our works in remembrance, and our life fhall 
pafs away as the trace of a cloud, and fhall be difperfed as 
a mift that is driven away with the beams of the fun, and 
|| overcome with the heat thereof. 

5 c For our time is a very fhadow that pafTeth away ; 
and after our end there is no returning : for fj it is faft 
fealed, fo that no man cometh again. 

6 Come on, therefore, let us enjoy the good things 
d that are prefent ; and let us H fpeedily ufe the creatures 
as in youth. 

7 Let us fill ourfelves with coftly wine and ointments : 
and let no flower of the fpring pafs by us : 

8 Let us crown ourfelves with rofebuds before they be 
withered : 

9 Let none of us go without his part of our || voluptu- 
oufnefs ; let us leave tokens of our joyfulnefs in every 
place : for this is our portion^ and our lot is this. 

10 Let us opprefs the poor righteous man ; let us not 
fpare the widow, nor reverence the ancient gray hairs of 
the aged. 

11 Let our ftrength be the law of juftiee : for that 
which is feeble is found to be nothing worth. 

1 2 Therefore let us lie in wait for the righteous ; be- 
caufe he is not for our turn, and he is clean contrary to 

[ our doings : he upbraideth us with our offending the law, 
and objetteth to our infamy, the tranfgreffings of our ed- 
ucation. 

1 3 He profefTeth to have the knowledge of God > and 
he calleth himfelf the child of the Lord.

14 He was made e to reprove our thoughts. 

15 f He is grievous unto us even to behold : for his life 
is not like other men's, his ways are of another fafhion. 

16 We are efteemed of him as j| counterfeits : he ab- 
ftaineth from our ways as from filthinefs : he pronounceth 
the end of the juft to be bleffed, and maketh his boaft 
that God is his father. 

1 7 Let us fee if his words be true, and let us prove 
what fhall happen in the end of him. 

1 8 For if the juft man be the s fon of God, he will help 
him, and deliver him from the hand of his enemies. 

19 Let us h examine him with defpitefulnefs and tor- 
ture, that we may know his meeknefs, and prove his 
patience. 

20 Let us condemn him with a fhameful death : for 
by his own fayings he fhall be refpected. 

21 Such things they did imagine, and were deceived : 
for their own wickednefs hath blinded them. 

22 As for the myfteries of God, they knew them not : 
neither hoped they for the wages of righteoufnefs ; nor 
f difcerned a reward for blamelefs fouls. 

23 For God created man to be immortal, and made him 
to be an ' image of his own eternity.

I The righteous happy in death. 1 o The unhapplnefs of the 

wicked if 1 their labours, and in their families, tsV. 

BUT 3 the fouls of the righteous are in the hand of 
God, and there fhall no torment touch them. 

2 b In the fight of the unwife they feemed to die : and 
their departure is taken for mifery, 

3 And their going from us to be utter deftruction : 
but they are in peace. 

4 For though they be punifhed in the fight of men, 
yet is their c hope full of immortality. 

5 And having been a little chaftifed, they fhall be 
greatly || rewarded : for God d proved them, and found 
them || worthy for himfelf. 

6 As gold in the furnace hath he tried them, and re- 
ceived them as a burnt offering. 

7 And in the time of their vifitation e they fhall fhine, 
and run to and fro like fparks among the ftubble. 

8 They f fhall judge the nations, and have dominion 
over the people, and their Lord fhall reign for ever. 

9 They that put their truft in him fhall underftand the 
truth •, || and fuch as be faithful in love fhall abide with 
him : for grace and mercy is to his faints, and he hath 
care for his elect. 

10 But the g ungodly fhall be punifhed according to 
their own imaginations, which have neglected the right- 
eous, and forfaken the Lord. 

1 1 For whofo defpifeth wifdom and nurture, he is mis- 
erable, and their hope is vain, their labours unfruitful, 
and their works unprofitable : 

1 2 Their wives are || foolifh, and their children wicked : 

1 3 Their offspring is curfed : wherefore bleffed is the 
barren that is undented, which hath not known the fin- 
ful bed : fhe h fhall have fruit in the vifitation of fouls. 

14 And bleffed is the ' eunuch, which with his hands 
hath wrought no iniquity, nor imagined wicked things 
againft God : for unto him fhall be given •(• the fpecial 
gift of faith, and an inheritance || in the temple of the 
Lord more acceptable to his mind. 



root of wifdom fhall never fall away. 

1 6 As for the children of adulterers, they fhall not 
|| come to their perfection, and the feed of an unrighteous 
bed fhall be rooted out. 

'< 1 7 For though they live long, yet fhall they be nothing 
regarded ; and their laft age fhall be without honour. 

1 8 Or, if they die quickly, they have no hope, neither 
comfort in the day of || trial. 

19 For horrible is the end of the unrighteous genera-? 
tion. 

CHAP. IV. 
I Virtue is better than children. 3 Baflard fips pall Hot 
thrive, but fhall ivltnefs againjl their parents. 
ETTER it is to have no children, and to have virtue ; 
for the memorial thereof is immortal : becaufe it is 
known with God and with men. 

2 When it is prefent, men take example at it ; and 
when it is gone, they defire it : it weareth a crown, and 
triumpheth for ewer, having gotten the victory, ftriving 
for undefiled rewards. 

3 But the multiplying brood of the ungodly fhall not 
thrive, nor take deep rooting from baftard flips, nor lay 
any faft foundatfcm*^ 

4 For though they flourifh in branches for a time, \yet 
ftandfcng nopraft,' they fhall be fhaken with the wind, and 
through the force. of the winds they fhall be rooted out. 

5 The imperfect branches fhall be broken off", their fruit 
unprofitable, not ripe to eat, ye3, meet for nothing. 

6 For children begotten of unlawful f beds, are wit- 
neffes of wickednefs againft their parents in their trial. 

7 But though the righteous be prevented with death, 
yet fhall he be in reft. 

8 For honourable age is not that- which ftandeth in 
length of time, nor that is tneafured by number of years : 

9 But wifdom is the gray hair unto men, and an un- 
fpotted life is old age. 

I o b He pleafed God, and was beloved of him : fo that, 
living among finners, he was tranflated. 

I I Yea, fpeedily was he taken away, left that wicked- 
nefs fhould alter his underftanding, or deceit beguile 
his foul. 

1 2 For the bewitching of naughtinefs doth obfeure 
things that are honeft •, and the wandering of concupif- 
cence doth f undermine the fimple mind. 

13 He, being made || perfect in a fhort time, fulfilled 
a long time. 

14 For his foul pleafed the Lord ; therefore haftedhe 
to take him away from among the wicked. 

15 This the people faw, and underftood it not, neither 
laid they up this in their minds, that his grace and mercy 
is with his faints, and that he hath refpect unto his chofen. 

16 Thus the righteous that is dead fhall condemn the 
ungodly which are living ; and youth that is foon perfect- 
ed, the many years and old age of the unrighteous. 

1 7 For they fhall fee the end of the wife, and fhall not 
underftand what God in his counfel hath decreed of him, 
and to what end the Lord hath fet him in fafety. 

18 They fhall fee him, and defpife him ; but God fhall 
laugh them to fcorn : and they fhall hereafter be a vile 
carcafs, and a reproach among the dead for evermore. 

19 For he fhall rend them, and caft them down head- 
long, that they fhall be fpeechlefs; and he fhall fhake them 
from the foundation ; and they fhall be utterly laid wafte, 
and be in forrow : and their memorial fhall perifh.

where there lay no way ; bat as for the way of the Lord, 
we have not known it. 

8 What hath pride profited us ? or what good hath 
riches with our vaunting brought us ? 

9 All thofe things are b pafTed away like a fhadow, and 
chapter z$. as a poft that hafted by ; 

10 And as a fhip that paffeth over the waves of the 
water, which when it is gone by, the trace thereof cannot 
be found, neither the pathway of the keel in the waves : 

1 1 c Or, as when a bird || hath flown through the air, 
there is no token of her way to be found, but the light 
air being beaten with the flroke of her wings, and parted 
with the violent noife and motion of them, is pafTed 
through, and therein afterwards no fign where fhe went 
is to be found ; 

r 2 Or, like as when an arrow is fhot at a mark, it part- 
eth the air, which immediately cometh together again, fo 
that a man cannot know where it went through : 

1 3 Even fo we, in like manner, as foon as we were born, 
began to draw to our end, and had no' fign of virtue to 
fhew ; but were confumed in our own wickednefs. 

14 d For the hope of the ungodly is like f duft that is 
blown away with the wind ; like a thin froth that is driven 
away with the ftorm ; like as the || fmoke which is c dif- 

4. & 103 ifi, perfed here and there with a tempeft, and pafTeth away as 
the remembrance of a gueft that tarrieth but a day. 

1 5 But the righteous live for evermore ; their reward 
alfo is with the Lord, and the care of them is with the 
moft High. 

1 6 Therefore fhall they receive a glorious || kingdom : 
and a beautiful crown from the Lord's hand : for with his 
right hand fhall he cover them, and with his arm fhall he 
protect, them. 

17 He fhall take to him his jealoufy for complete ar- 
mour, and make the creature his weapon for the revenge 
of his enemies. 

1 8 He fhall put on f righteoufnefs as a breaftplate, and 
true judgment inftead of an helmet. 

19 He fhall take || holinefs for an invincible fhield. 

20 His fevere wrath fhall he fharpen for a fword, and 
the world fhall fight with him againft the unwife.

CHAP. VI. 

I Kings and rulers admonifhed that they have their power 

from God. 9 They are exhorted to feek wifdom, C5V. 

HEAR therefore, O ye kings, and underftand ; learn, 
ye that be judges of the ends of the earth. 
i^Give ear, ye that rule the people, and glory in the 
multitude of nations. 

3 For a power is given you of the Lord, and fovereign- 
ty from the Higheft, who fhall try your works, and fearch 
out your counfels. 

4 Becaufe, being minifters of his kingdom, ye have 
not judged aright, nor kept the law, nor walked after the 
counfel of God j. 

5 Florribly and fpeedily fhall he come upon you : for a 
fharp judgment fhall be to them that be in high places. 

6 For mercy will foon pardon the meaneft : but mighty 
men fhall be mightily tormented. 

7 For he which is Lord over all fhall fear no b man's 
perfon, neither fhall he ftand in awe of any man's great- 
nefs : for he hath made the fmall and great, and careth 
for all alike. 

8 But a fore trial fhall come, upon the mighty. 

9 Unto you therefore, O kings, do I fpeak, that ye 
may learn wifdom, and not fall away. 

10 For they that keep holinefs holily fhall be judged 
holy : and they that have learned fuch things fhall find 
|| what to anfwer. 

1 1 Wherefore fet your afFe&ion upon my words, de- 
fire them, and ye fhall be inftrufted. 

1 2 Wifdom is glorious, and never fadeth away : yea, 
flie is eafily feen of them that love her, and found of fuch 
as feek her. 

1 3 She preventeth them that defire her, in making her- 
felf firft known unto them. 

14 Whofo feeketh her early fhall have no great travail ; 
for he fhall find her fitting at his doors. 

15 To think therefore upon her is perfection of wifdom: 
and whofo watcheth for her fhall quickly be without care. 

1 6 For fhe goeth about feeking fuch as are worthy of 
her, fheweth herfelf favourably unto them in the ways, 
and meeteth them in every thought. 

1 7 For the very true beginning of her is the defire of 
|| difcipline : and the care of difcipline is love ; 

18 And love is the keeping of her laws ; and the giv- 
ing heed unto her laws is the afiurance of incorruption ; 

19 And incorruption maketh us near unto God : 

20 Therefore the defire of wifdombringethtoakingdom. 

2 1 If your delight be then in thrones and fceptres, O , 
ye kings of the people, honour wifdom, that ye may reign 
for evermore. 

22 As for wifdom, what fhe is, and how fhe came up, 
I will tell you, and will not hide myfteries from you •, but 
will feek her out from the beginning of her nativity, and 
bring the knowledge of her into light, and will not pafs

23 Neither will I go with conluming envy ; for fuch ! 
a man Shall have no fellowship with wifdom. 

24 But the multitude of the wife is the welfare of the

25 Receive therefore instruction through my words, 
and it fhall do you good. 

CHAP. VII. 
I All men have their beginning and end alike. 8 Wifdom 
preferred before all things. 22 The praife of wifdom. 
MYSELF alfo am a mortal man, like to all, and-tKe 
offspring of him that was firft made of the earth, 

2 And in my mother's womb was fafhioned to be flefh 
in the time of ten months, a being compacted in blood, of 
the feed of man, and the pleafure that came with Sleep. 

3 And when I was born, I drew in the common air, 
and fell upon the earth which is of like nature, and the 
firft voice which I uttered was crying, as all others do. 

4 I was nurfed in fwaddling clothes, and that with cares. 

5 For there is no king that had any other beginning 
of birth. 

6 b For all men have one entrance into life, and the 
like going out. 

7 Wherefore I prayed, and understanding was given 
me : I called upon God, and the fpirit of wifdom came 
to me. 

8 I preferred her before fceptres and thrones, and 
efteemed riches nothing in comparifon of her. 

9 Neither compared I unto her any f precious ftone ; 
•icofHif- becaufe all gold in refpect of her is as a little fand, and 

Silver Shall be counted as clay before her. 

10 I loved her above health and beauty, and chofe to 
have her inftead of light ; for the light that cometh from 
her never goeth out. 

1 1 c All good things together came to me with her, 
and innumerable riches in her hands. 

1 2 And I rejoiced in them all, becaufe wifdom goeth 
before them : and I knew not that She was the mother of 
them. 

13 I learned f diligently, and do- communicate her 
f liberally : I do not hide her riches. 

14 For She is a treafure unto men that never faileth ; 
which they that ufe || become the friends of God, being 
commended for the gifts that come from learning. 

1 5 || God hath granted me to fpeak as I would, and to 
conceive as is meet for the things that j| are given me : 
becaufe it is he that leadeth unto wifdom, and directeth 
the wife. 

1 6 For in. his hand are both we and our words ; all 
wifdom alfo, and knowledge of workmanShip. 

1 7 For he hath given me certain knowledge of the 
things that are, namely, to know how the world was 
made, and the operation of the elements : 

18 The beginning, ending, and midft of the times : 
the alterations of the turning of the fun, and the change 
of feafons : 

19 The circuits of years, and the pofitions of Stars : 

20 The natures of living creatures, and the furies of 
wild beafts ; the violence of winds, and the reafonings of 
men : the diversities of plants, and the virtues of roots : 

2 1 And all fuch things as are either fecret or manifeft, 
them I know.

23 Kind to man, ftedfaft, Sure, free from care, having 
all power, overSeeing all tilings, and going through ah

24 For wifdom is more moving than any motion : She paST- 
eth and goeth through all things by reafon of her purenefs. . 

25 For She is the || breath of the power of God, and a 
pure || influence flowing from the glory of the Almighty : 
therefore can no defiled thing fall into her. 

26 For She is the d brightnefs of the evrelafting Light, 
the unfpotted mirror of the power of God, and the im- 
age of his goodnefs. 

27 And being but o'se, She can do all things ; and 
remaining in herielf She fl maketh all things new : and 
in all ages, entering into holy fouls, She maketh them 
friends of God, and prophets. 

28 For God loveth fio'ne but him that dwelleth with 
wifdom. 

29 For She is, more beautiful than the fun, and above 
' all the order of fiars : being compared with the light, lhe 

is found before if? 

30 For after this cometh night : but vice Shall not pre- 
vail againft wifdom.

1 7 Now, when I confidered thefe things in myfelf, and

befl man will be nothing regarded. 9 God by her made 
the world : II Jhe knoweth, but without her man know- 
eth not, how to pleafe God. 

GOD of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, who 
haft made all things with thy word, 

2 And ordained man through thy wifdom, that he 
fhould a have dominion over the creatures, which thou 
haft made, 

3 And order the world according to equity and right- 
eoufnefs, and execute judgment with an upright heart ; 

4 Give b me wifdom that fitteth by thy throne ; and 
reject me not from among thy children : 

5 For I c thy fervant, and fon of thine handmaid, am a 
feeble perfon, and of a fhort time, and too young for the 
underftanding of judgment and laws. 

6 For though a man be never fo perfect among the 
children of men, yet if thy wifdom be not with him, he 
fhall be nothing regarded. 

7 Thou haft chofen me to be a d king of thy people, 
and a judge of thy fons and daughters. 

8 Thou haft commanded me to build a temple upon 
thy holy mount, and an altar in the city wherein thou 
dwelleft, a refemblance of the holy tabernacle, which 
thou haft prepared from the beginning. 

9 And e wifdom was with thee ; which knoweth thy 
works, and was prefent when thou madeft the world, and 
knew what was acceptable in thy fight, and right in thy 
commandments. 

I o O fend her out of thy holy heavens, and from the 
throne of thy glory, that being prefent fhe may labour 
with me, that I may know what is pleafing unto thee. 

I I For flic knoweth and underftandeth all things, and 
fhe fhall lead me foberly in my doings, and preferve me 
|] in her power. 

12 So fhall my works be acceptable, and then fhall I 
judge thy people righteoufly, and be worthy to fit in my 
father's feat.

mufeth upon many things.

hath fearched out ? 

-17 And thy counfel, who hath known, except thou give

I What wifdom did for Adam, 4 Noe, 5 Abraham, 6 Lot, 
snd againjl the five cities ■; 1 o for Jacob, 1 3 Jofeph, CSV . 

SH E preferved the firft formed father of the world, 
that was created alone, and brought him out of his fall, 

2 And a gave him power to rule all things. 

3 b But when the unrighteous went away from her in 
his anger, he perifhed alfo in the fury wherewith he mur- 
dered his brother. 

4 For whofe caufe the c earth being drowned with the 
flood, wifdom again preferved it, and directed the courfe ' 
of the righteous in a piece of wood of fmall value. 

5 Moreover, d the nations in their wicked confpiracy 
being confounded, fhe found out the righteous, and pre- 
ferved him blamelefs unto God, and e kept him ftrong 
'|| againft his tender compaffion toward his fon. 

£ f When the ungodly perifhed, fhe delivered the right- 
eous man, who fled from the fire which fell down upon 
f the five cities : 

7 Of whofe wickednefs, even to this day, the wafte 
land that fmoketh is a teftimony, and plants bearing fruit 
that never come to ripenefs 5 and a Standing pillar of fait 
is a monument of an unbelieving foul. 

8 For regarding not wifdom, they gat not only this 
hurt, that they knew not the things which were good ; but 
alfo left behind them to the world a memorial of their 
foolifhnefs : fo that in the things wherein they offended 
they could not fo much as be hid. 

9 But wifdom delivered from pain thofe that attended 
upon her. 

10 When the righteous fled from his brother's wrath, 
fiie guided him in right paths, fhewed him the kingdom 
of God, and gave him knowledge of holy things, made him 
rich in his travels, and multiplied the fruit of his labours. 

1 1 In the covetoufnefs of fuch as oppreffed him, fhe 
flood by him, and made him rich. 

12 She defended him from his enemies, and kept him 
fafe from thofe that lay in wait : and in a fore conflict, fhe 
gave him the victory ; that he might know that godlinefs 
is ftronger than all. 

1 3 g When the righteous was fold, fhe forfook him not,

the pit, 

14 And left him not in bonds, till fhe brought him the 
fceptre of the kingdom, and || power againft thofe that 
oppreffed him : as for them that had accufed him, fhe 
fhewed them to be liars, and gave him perpetual glory.

20 Therefore the righteous fpoiled the ungodly, and 
1 praifed thy holy name, O Lord, and magnified with one 
accord thine hand that fought for them. 

2 1 For wifdom opened the mouth of the dumb, and 
made the tongues of them that cannot fpeak eloquent. 

CHAP. XL 

What wifdom did for the Ifraelites, who were benefited by 
that whereby the Egyptians were ptmijhed. 

SH E profpered their works in the hand of the holy 
prophet. 

2 u They went through the wildernefs that was not 
inhabited, and pitched tents in places where there lay 
no way. 

3 b They ftood againft their enemies, and were aveng- 
ed of their adverfaries. 

4 When they were thirfty they called upon thee, and 
water was given them out of the flinty rock, and their 
thirft was quenched out of the hard ftone. 

5 For by what things their enemies were punifhed, by 
the fame they in their need were benefited. 

6 For inftead of a fountain of a perpetual running river 
troubled with foul blood, 

7 For a manifeft reproof of that commandment where- 
by the infants were {lain, thou gaveft unto them abund- 
ance of water, by a means which they hoped not for : 

8 Declaring by that thirft then c how thou hadft pun- 
ifhed their adverfaries. 

9 For when they were tried, albeit but in mercy chaf- 
tifed, they knew how the ungodly were judged in wrath 
and tormented, thirfting in another manner than the juft. 

10 For thefe thou didft admonifh and try as a father \ 
but the other, as a fevere king, thou didft condemn and 
punifh. 

1 1 Whether abfent or prefent, they were vexed alike. 

1 2 For a double grief came upon them, and a groan- 
ing for- the remembrance of things paft. 

1 3 For when they heard by their own punifhments the 
other to be benefited, they if had fome feeling of the Lord. 

1 4 For whom they rejected with fcorn, when he was 
long before thrown out at the cafting forth of the infants, 
him in the end, when they faw what came to pafs, they 
admired, 

15 But for the foolifh devices of their wickednefs, 
wherewith being deceived, they worfhipped ferpents void 
of reafon, and vile beafts, thou didft fend a multitude of 
unreafonable beafts upon them for vengeance ; 

16 That they might know, that wherewithal a man fin- 
neth, by the fame alfo fhall he be punifhed. 

17 For thy Almighty hand, that made the world of 
matter without form, wanted not means to fend among 
them a multitude of bears, or fierce lions, 

1 8 Or unknown wild beafts full of rage, newly created,

23 But thou haft mercy upon all : for thou canft do all 
things, and winkeft at the fins of men, becaufe they fhould 
amend. 

24 For thou loveft all the things that are, and abhor- 
reft nothing which thou haft made : for never wouldeft 
thou have made any thing if thou hadft hated it. 

25 And how could any thing have endured, if it had 
not been thy will ? or been preferved, if not called by thee ? 

26 But thou fpareft all : for they are thine, O Lord, 
thou lover of fouls.

I Wherefore God did not defroy thofe of Canaan all at once. 
23 They were punifed with their fa/fe gods. 

FO R thine incorruptible Spirit is in all things : 
2 Therefore chafteneft thou them by little and little 
that offend, and warned them by putting them in remem- 
brance wherein they have offended, that, leaving their 
wickednefs, they may believe on thee, O Lord. 

3 For it was thy will to deftroy, by the hands of our 
fathers, both thofe || old inhabitants of thy holy land, 

4 Whom thou hatedft for doing moft odious works of

5 And alfo thofe mercilefs murderers of children, and 
devourers of man's flefh, and the feafts of blood, 

6 With their priefts out of the midft of their idolatrous 
crew, and the parents that killed with their own hands 
fouls deftitute of help ; 

7 That the land, which thou efteemedft above all other, 
might receive a worthy || colony of God's children. 

8 Neverthelefs, even thofe thou fparedft as men, and 
didft fend a wafps, forerunners of thine hoft, to deftroy 
them by little and little. 

9 Not that thou waft unable to bring the ungodly un- 
der the hand of the righteous in battle, or to deftroy them 

j at once with cruel beafts, or with one rough word : 

10 But executing thy judgments upon them by little and 
little, thou gaveft them place of repentance, not being ig- 

i norant that they were a naughty generation, and that their 
malice was bred in them, and that their cogitation would 
never be changed, 

1 1 For it was a b curfed feed from the beginning :' nei- 
ther didft thou for fear of any man give them pardon for 
thofe things wherein they finned.

to be punifhed. 

1 6 For thy power is the beginning of righteoufnefs •, 
and becaufe thou art the lord of all, it maketh thee to be 
gracious unto all. 

1 7 For when men will not believe that thou art of a 
|| full power, thou fheweft thy ftrength ; and among them 
that know it, thou makeft their boldnefs manifeft. 

1 8 But thou, maftering thy power, judgeft with equity, 
and ordereft us with great favour : for thou mayeft ufe 
power when thou wilt. 

1 9 But by fuch works haft thou taught thy people, that 
the juft man fhould be merciful, and haft made thy children 
to be of a good hope that thou giveft repentance for fins. 

20 For if thou didft punifh the enemies of thy children, 
and the condemned to death, with fuch deliberation, giv- 
ing them time and place, whereby they might be delivered 
from their malice > 

2i With how great circumfpeclion didft thou judge 
thine own fons, unto whofe fathers thou haft fworn, and 
made covenants of good promifes ? 

22 Therefore, whereas thou doft chaften us, thou 
fcourgeft our enemies a thoufand times more, to .the in- 
tent that, when we judge, we fhould carefully think of 
thy goodnefs, and when we ourfelves are judged, we 
fhould look for mercy. 

23 Wherefore, whereas men have lived diflblutely and 
unrighteoufly, thou haft tormented them with their own 
|| abominations. 

24 f For they went aftray very far in the ways of error, 
and held them for gods, which even among the beafts of 
their enemies were defpifed, being deceived as children of 
no underftanding. 

25 Therefore unto them, as to children without the ufe 
of reafon, thou didft fend a judgment to mock them. 

16 But they £hat would not be reformed by that cor?

2 7 For look, for what things they grudged when they 
were punifhed, (that is) for them whom they thought to 
be gods ; (now) being punifhed in them, when they faw 
it, they acknowledged him to be the true God, whom be- 
fore they denied to know ; and therefore came extreme 
damnation upon them. 

CHAP. XIII.

SURELY vain are all men by nature, who are ignorant 
of God, and a could not, out of the good things that

fet it in a wall, and made it faft with iron : 

1 6 For he provided for it that it might not fall, know-* 
ing that it was unable to help itfelf ; (for it is an image, 
and hath need of help.) 

1 7 Then maketh he prayer for his goods, for his wife 
and children, and is not afhamed to fpeak to that which 
hath no life. 

1 8 For health, he calleth upon that which is weak : for

itttal fornication, and the invention of them the corrup- 
tion of life. 

13 For neither were they from the beginning, neither 
fliall they be for ever. 

14 For by the vain glory of men they entered into the 
world, and therefore fhall they come fhortly to an end. 

IX For a father afflicted with untimely mourning, when 
he hath made an image of his child foon taken away, now 
honoured him as a god, which was then a dead man, and 
delivered to thole that were under him ceremonies and 
facrifices. 

16 Thus, 'f in procefs of time, an ungodly cuftom, 
grown ftrong, was kept as a law, and graven images were 

j or, tyrants, worfhipped by the commandments of || kings. 

1 7 Whom men could not honour || in prefence, becaufe 
they dwelt far off, they took the counterfeit of his vifage 
from far, and made an exprefs image of a king whom they 
honoured, to the end that, by this their forwardnefs, they 
might flatter him that was abfent, as if he were prefent. 

18 Alfo the Angular diligence of the artificer did help 
to fet forward the ignorant to more fuperftition. 

19 For he, peradventure, willing to pleafe one in au- 
bcmr"' bt t ^ or ' t 7> forced all his fkill to make the refemblance \ of 

the beft fafhion. 

20 And fo the multitude, allured by the grace of the 
work, took him now for a god, which a little before was 
but honoured as a man. 

2 1 And this was an occafion to deceive the world : for 
men, ferving either calamity or tyranny, did afcribe unto 

fGoi. ftones and flocks the incommunicable j| name. 

22 Moreover, this was not enough for them that they 
erred in the knowledge of God ; but, whereas they lived 
in the great war of ignorance, thofe fo great plagues called 
they peace. 

rnent. 18 23 For whilft they f flew their children in facrifices, 

9,'tt 194. or ufed fecret ceremonies, or made revellings of ftrange 
rites ; j4 

24 They kept neither lives nor marriages any longer 
undefilcd : but either one flew another traitoroufly, or 
grieved him by adultery, 
'rj/""" 25 So that there reigned in all men, || without excep- 

tion, blood, manflaughter, theft, and diffimulation, cor- 
ruption, unfaithfulnefs, tumults, perjury, 

16 Difquieting of good men, forgetfulnefs of good 
Qt.jrx. turns, defiling of fouls, changing of || kind ; diforder in 
marriages, adultery, and fhamelefs uncleannefs. 

27 For the worlhipping of idols, f not to be named, is 
the beginning, the caufe, and the end of all evil. 

28 For either they are mad when they be merry, or 
prophefy lies, or live unjuflly, or elfe lightly forfwear 
themfelves. 

29 For infomuch as their truft is in idols which have no

we will not fin, knowing that we are counted thine.

know thy power is the root of immortali^.

fame clay he maketh both the veffels that ferve for clean

what is the ufe of either fort, the potter himfelf is the judge. 

8 And employing his labours lewdly, he maketh a vain 
god of the fame clay, even he which a little before was

THEREFORE by the like were they punifhed wor- 
thily, and by the multitude of beafts a tormented. 
2 Inftead of which punifhment, dealing gracioufly with 
thine own people, thou prepared ft for them meat of a 
b Numb. ftrange tafte, even b quails, to ftir up their appetite : 

3. To the end that they, defiring food, might, forthe 
ugly fight of the beafts lent among them, loath even that 
which they muft needs defire : but thefe, fuffering pen- 
ury for a fhort fpace, might be made partakers of a 
ftrange tafte. 

4 For it was requifite, that upon them exercifing ty- 
ranny fhould come penury, which they could not avoid ; 
but to thefe it fhould only be fliewed how their enemies 
were tormented. 

5 For when the horrible fiercenefs of beafts came upon 
|| thefe, and they perifhed with the c ftings of crooked 
ferpents, thy wrath endured not for ever. 

6 But they were troubled for a. fmall feafon, that they 
might be admonifhed, having d a ftgn of falvation, to put 
them in remembrance of the commandment of thy law. 

7 For he that turned himfelf toward it was not faved 
by the thing that he faw j but by thee, that art the Sav- 
iour of all. 

8 And in this thou madeft thine enemies confefs, that 
it is thou who deliverer!: from all evil : 

9 For e them the bitings of grafshoppers and flies killed, 
neither was there found any remedy for their life : for 
they were worthy to be punifhed by fuch. 

I o But thy fons, not the very teeth of venomous drag- 
ons overcame ; for thy mercy was ever by them, and 
healed them. 

I I For they were f pricked, that they fhould remem- 
ber thy words ; and were quickly faved, that, not falling 
into deep forgetfulnefs, they might be || continually mind- 
ful of thy goodnefs. 

12 For it was neither herb, nor molifying plafter, that 
reftored them to health ; but thy word, O Lord, which 
healeth all things. 

1 3 For thou haft power of life and death : thou f lead- 
eft to the gates of hell, and bringeft up again. 

1 4 A man indeed killeth through his malice ; and the 
fpirit when it is gone forth returneth not, neither the 
foul received up cometh again. 

1 5 But it is not poffible to efcape thine hand. 

16 s For the ungodly, that denied to know thee, were 
fcourged by the ftrength of thine arm : with ftrange rains, 
hails and fhowers, were they perfecuted, that they could 
not avoid, and through fire were they confumed. 

17 For which is moft to be wondered at, the fire had 
more force in the water that quencheth all things : for 
the world h fighteth for the righteous. 

18 For fometime the flame was mitigated, that it 
might not burn up the beafts that were fent againft. the 
ungodly ; but themfelves might fee and perceive that 
they were perfecuted with the judgment of God :

Why the Egyptians were punt/hed. 
iOr,rcfiijng IO They died for fear, || denying that they faw the air, 
which could of no fide be avoided. 

1 1 For wickednefs, condemned by her own witnefs, is 
very timorous, and being preffed with confcience, always 
forecafteth grievous things. 

1 2 For fear is nothing elfe but a betraying of the fuc- 
cours which reafon offereth. 

1 3 And the expectation from within, being lefs, count- 
eth the ignorance more than the caufe which bringeth the 
torment.

%'not/Jn^! d was indeed intolerable, and which came upon them out of 
the bottoms of inevitable hell, 

1 5 Were partly vexed with monftrous apparitions, and 
partly fainted, their heart failing them : for a hidden 
fear, and not looked for, came upon them. 

16 So then, whofoever there fell down was ftraitly 
kept, lhut up in a prifon without iron bars. 

1 7 For whether he were hufbandman, or fhepherd, or 
tOt,de/cn. a labourer in the |j field, he was overtaken, and endured 

that neccffity which could not be avoided : for they were 
all bound with one chain of darknefs.

noife of birds among the fpreading branches, or a pleafing 
fall of water running violently,

ning that could not he fee.n of fkipping beafts, or a roar- 
ing voice of moft favage wild beafts, or a rebounding 
echo from the hollow mountains ; thefe things made 
them to fwoon for fear. 

20 For the whole world fhined with clear light, and 
none were hindered in their labour. 

21 Over them only was fpread an heavy night, an im- 
age of that darknefs which fhould afterward receive them ; 
but yet were they unto themfelves more grievous than 
the darknefs.

they counted them happy. 

2 But for that they did not hurt them now, of whom 

they had been wronged before, they thanked them, and 

befought them pardon, for that they had been enemies.

10 But on the other fide there founded an ill according 
cry of the enemies, and a lamentable noife was carried 
abroad for children that were bewailed. 

11 f The mafter and the fervant were pu.nifhed after s *&'ii$. 
one manner ; and like as the king, fo fuffered the com- 
mon perfon. 

12 So they altogether had innumerable dead with one 
kind of death ; neither were the living fufficient to bury 
them : for in one moment the nobleft offspring of them 
was deftroyed. 

13 For whereas they would not believe any thing by 
reafon of the enchantments, upon the deftruction of the 
firftborn they acknowledged this people to be the fons of 
God. 

14 For while all things were in quiet filence, and that 
night was in the midft of her fwift courfe, 

15 Thine Almighty word leaped down from heaven 
out of thy royal throne, as a fierce man of war into the 
midft of a land of deftruction, 

16 And brought thine unfeigned commandment as a 
fharp fword, and ftanding up, filled all things with death ; 
and it touched the heaven, but it ftood upon the earth. 

17 Then fuddenly || vifions of horrible dreams troub- 
led them fore, and terrors came upon them unlooked for. 

1 8 And one thrown here, and another there, half dead, 
fhewed the caufe of his death. 

19 For the dreams that troubled them did forefhew 
this, left they fhould perifh, and not know why they were 
afflicted. 

20 Yea, the rafting of death touched the righteous al- 
fo, and there was a deftruction of the s multitude in the ^ N "™ b ' 
wildernefs : but the wrath endured not long. 

21 For then the blamelefs man made hafte, and ftood 
forth to defend them ; and, bringing the fhield of his 
proper miniftry, even prayer, and the propitiation of in- 
cenfe, fet himfelf againft the wrath, and fo brought the 
calamity to an end, declaring that he was thy fervant, 

22 So he overcame the deftoyer, not with ftrength of 
body, nor force of arms, but with a word fubdued he him 
that punifhed, alleging the oaths and covenants made with 
the fathers. 

23 For when the dead were now fallen down by*heaps 
one upon another, ftanding between, he ftayed the wrath, 

and || parted the way to the living. nor, cutoff. 

24 h For in the long garment was the whole world, and 5 Exn |- ~* 
in the four rows of the ftones was the glory of the fathers 
graven, and thy Majefty upon the diadem of his head. 

25 Unto thefe the deftroyer gave place, and was afraid of 
them : for it was enough that they only tailed of the wrath. 

C H A P. XIX. 
I Why God /hewed no mercy to the Egyptians, 5 and how 
wonderfully he dealt with his own people. 

AS for the ungodly, wrath came upon them without 
mercy unto the end : for he knew before what they 
would do ; 

2 How that, having given them leave to depart, and fent 
them haftily away, they would repent and pnrfue them. 

3 For whilft they were yet mourning, and making la-

4 For the deftiny, whereof they were worthy, drew 
them unto this end, and made them forget the things that 
had already happened, that they might fulfil the punifh- 
ment which was wanting to their torments : 

5 And that thy people might pafs a wonderful way : 
but they might find a ftrange death. 

6 For the whole creature in his proper kind was fafh- 
ioned again anew, ferving the peculiar commandments that 
were given unto them, that thy children might be kept 
without hurt : 

7 As namely, a cloud fliadowing the eamp -, and where 
water ftood before, dry land appeared ; and out of the 
Red Sea a way without impediment ; and out of the vio- 
lent ftream a green field ; 

8 Wherethrough all the people went that were defend- 
ed with thy hand, feeing thy marvellous ftrange wonders. 

9 For they went at large like horfes, and leaped like 
lambs, praifing thee, O Lord, who hadft delivered them. 

I o For they were yet mindful of the things that were 
done, while they fojourned in the ftrange land, how the 
ground brought forth || flies inftead of cattle, and how 
the river caft up a multitude of frogs inftead of fifties. 

I I But afterwards they faw a new generation of fowls, 
when, being led by their appetite, they afked delicate meats. 

1 2 For quails came up unto them from the fea for their 
|| contentment. 

1 3 And punifhments came upon the finners, not with- 
out former figns by the force of thunders : for they fuf- 
fered juftly, according to their own wickednefs, info- 
much that they ufed a more hard and hateful behaviour 
toward ftrangers.

AS TIC US, A Prolog 

14 For the Sodomites did not receive thofe whom they 
knew not when they came : but thefe brought friends 
into bondage, that had well deferved of them. 

1 5 And not only fo, but, peradventure fome refpett 
fhall be had of thole, becaufe they ufed ftrangers not 
friendly : 

\6 But thefe very grievoufiy afflicted them, whom 
they had received with feaftings, and were already made 
partakers of the fame laws with them. 

1 7 Therefore even with blindnefs were thefe ftricken, 
as thofe were at the doors of the righteous man : when,, 
being compaffed about with horrible great darknefs, every 
one fought the paftage of his own doors. 

1 8 For the elements were changed f in themfelves by 
a kind of harmony, like as in a pfaltery notes change the 
name of the tune, and yet are always founds : which may 
well be perceived by the fight of the things that have 
been done. 

19 For earthly things were turned into watery, and the 
things that before fwam in the water now went upon the 
ground. 

20 The fire had power in the water, forgetting his 
own virtue ; and the water forgat his own quenching, 
nature. 

21 On the other fide, the flames wafted not the fleflr 
of the corruptible living things, though they walked there- 
in ; neither melted they the icy kind of heavenly meat, 
that was of nature apt to melt. 

22 For in all things, O Lord, thou didft magnify thy 
people, and glorify them •, neither didft thou lightly re- 
gard them : but didft affift them in every time and place.

The Wisdom of Jesus the Son of Sirach ; or, ECCLESIASTICUS, 

which things Ifrael ought to be commended for learning 
and wifdom -, and whereof not only the readers muft 
needs become fkilful themfelves, but alfo they that defire 
to learn be able to profit them which are || without, both 
by fpeaking and writing ; my grandfather Jefus, when 
he had much given himfelf to the reading of the law and 
the prophets, and other books of our fathers, and had 
gotten therein good judgment, was drawn on alfo him- 
felf to write fomething pertaining to learning and wif- 
dom ; to the intent that thofe which are defirous to learn 
and are addicted to thefe things might profit much more 
in living according to the law. Wherefore, let me en* 
treat you to read it with favour and attention, and to 
pardon us wherein we may feem to come fhort of fome 
words which we have laboured to interpret. For the 
fame things uttered in Hebrew, and tranflated. into an- 
other tongue, have not the fame force in them : and not 
only thefe things, but the law itfelf, and the f prophets, 
and the reft of the books, have no fmall |J difference, 
when they are fpoken in their own language. For in 
the eight and thirtieth year coming into Egypt, when 
Euergetes was king, and continuing there fome time, I 
found a || book of no fmall learning ; therefore I thought 
it molt neceffary for me to beftow fome diligence and 
travail to interpret it ; ufing great watchfulnefs and fkill 
in that fpace to bring the book to an end, and fet it 
forth for them alfo, which in a ftrange country are will- 
ing to learn, being prepared before in manners to live 
after the law. 



A Prologue made by an uncertain author. 
HIS Jefus was the fon of Sirach, and grandchild to 
Jefus of the fame name with him. This man, there- 
it u kfom^ Ui in fore, lived in the latter times, after the people had been led 
■>""?■>"• aw ay captive, and called home again, and almoft after all 
the prophets. Now his grandfather Jefus, (as he himfelf 
witneffeth) was a man of great diligence and wifdom among 
the Hebrews, who did not only gather the grave and fhort 
fentences of wife men that had been before him, but him- 
felf alfo uttered fome of his own, full of much underftand- 
ing and wifdom. When as, therefore, the firft Jefus died, 
leaving this book almoft || perfected, Sirach his fon, receiv- 
ing it after him, left it to his own fon Jefus, who, having 
gotten it into his hands, compiled it all orderly into one 
volume, and called it Wifdom, entitling it both by his own 
name, his father's name, and his grandfather's ; alluring 
the hearer, by the very name of Wifdom, to have a greater 
love to the ftudy of this book. It containeth, therefore, 
wife fayings, dark fentences and parables, and certain par- 
ticular ancient godly ftories of men that pleafed God ; alfo 
his prayer and fong : moreover, what benefits God had 
vouchfafed his people, and what plagues he had heaped 
upon their enemies. This Jefus did imitate Solomon, and 
was no lefs famous for wifdom and learning, both being 
indeed a man of great learning, and fo reputed alfo.

The fear of God is full of 'blejjings. 

CHAP. I. 

I AU wifdom is from God : I o he givetb it to them that 
love him. I 1 God's J "ear full of many ble/fings, isfc. 

ALL a wifdom cometh from the Lord, and is with 
him for ever. 

2 Who can number the fand of the Tea, and the drops 
of rain, and the days of eternity ? 

3 Who can find out the height of heaven, and the 
breadth of the earth, and the deep, and wifdom ? 

4 Wifdom hath been created before all things, and the 
underftanding of prudence from everlafting. 

5 The word of God moft high is the fountain of wif- 
dom ; and her ways are everlafting commandments. 

6 b To whom hath the root of wifdom been revealed ? 
or who hath known her wife counfels ? 

7 (Unto whom hath the knowledge of wifdom been 
made manifeft ? and who hath understood her great ex- 
perience ?) 

8 There is one wife and greatly to be feared ; the Lord 
fitting upon his throne. 

9 He created her, and faw her, and numbered her, and 
poured her out upon all his works. 

i o She is with all flefh according to his gift, and he 
hath given her to them that love him. 

1 1 The fear of the Lord is honour and glory, and glad- 
nefs, and a crown of rejoicing. 

1 2 The fear of the Lord maketh a merry heart, and 
giveth joy, and gladnefs, and a long life. 

13 Whofo feareth the Lord, it fhall go well with him 
at the laft, and he [| fhall find favour in the day of his death. 

14 c To fear the Lord is the beginning of wifdom ; and 
it was created with the faithful in the womb. 

1 5 She hath built an everlafting foundation with men, 
and fhe fhall continue d with their feed. 

16 To fear the Lord is fulnefs of wifdom, and filleth 
men with her fruits. 

17 She filleth all their houfes with things defirable, and 
the garners with her increafe. 

18 The fear of the Lord is a crown of wifdom, making 
peace and perfect health to flourifh ; both which are the 
gifts of God ; and it enlargeth their rejoicing that love 
him. 

19 Wifdom raineth down fkill and knowledge of under- 
ftanding, and exalteth them to honour that hold her faft. 

20 The root of wifdom is to fear the Lord, and the 
branches thereof are long life. 

21 The fear of the Lord driveth away fins ; and where 
it is prefent, it turneth away wrath. 

22 A furious man cannot be || juflified ; for the fway 
of his fury fhall be his deftruction. 

23 A patient man will bear for a time, and afterward 
joy fhall fpring up unto him. 

24 He will hide his words for a time, and the lips of 
many fhall declare his wifdom. 

25 The parables of knowledge are in the treafures of 
wifdom ; but godlinefs is an abomination to a finner. 

26 If thou defire wifdom, keep the commandments, 
and the Lord fhall give her unto thee. 

27 For the fear of the Lord is wifdom and inftruction ; 
and faith and meeknefs are his delight. 

28 || Diftruft not the fear of the Lord when thou art 
poor ; and come not unto him with a double heart. 

29 Be not an hypocrite in the fight of men, and take 
good heed what thou fpcakeft.

19 Come unto her as one that plougheth and foweth, 
and wait for her good fruits : for thou fhalt not toil much 
in labouring, about her, but thou fhalt eat of her fruits right

20 She is very unpleafant to the unlearned ; he that is 
without || understanding, will not remain with her. 

21 She will lie upon him as a b mighty ftone of trial, 
and he will caft her from him ere it be long. 

22 For wifdom is according to her name, and fhe is 
not manifeft unto many. 

23 Give ear my fon, receive my advice, and refufe not

24 And put thy feet into her fetters, and thy neck into

29 Then fliall her fetters be a ftrong defence for thee,

13 For pride is the beginning of fin, and he that hath 
it fhall pour out abomination ; and therefore the Lord 
brought upon them ftrange calamities, and overthrew 
them utterly. 

14 The Lord hath caft down the thrones of proud 
princes, and fet up the meek in their ftead. 

15 The Lord hath plucked up the roots of the proud 
nations, and planted the lowly in their place. 

16 The Lord overthrew countries of the heathen, and 
deftroyed them to the foundations of the earth. 

17 He took fome of them away, and deftroyed them, 
and hath made their memorial to ceafe from the earth. 

1 8 Pride was not made for men, nor furious anger for 
them that are born of a woman. 

19 They that fear the Lord are a fure feed, and they 
that love him, an honourable plant : they that regard not 
the law are a difhonourable feed j they that 
commandments are a || deceivable feed. 

20 Among brethren, he that is chief is honourable ; 
fo are they that fear the Lord in his eyes. 

2 1 The fear of the Lord goeth before |j the obtaining 
of authority : but roughnefs and pride is the loiing thereof. 

22 Whether he be rich, noble, or poor, their glory is 
the fear of the Lord. 

23 It is not meet to defpife the poor man that hath 
underftanding ; neither is it convenient to magnify a 
linful man. 

24 Great men, and judges, and potentates, fhall be 
honoured ; yet is there none of them greater than he that 
feareth the Lord. 

25 c Unto the fervant that is wife fhall they that are free CPror - '** 
do fervice ; and he that hath knowledge d will not grudge 
when he is reformed. 

26 Be not overwife in doing thy bufinefs 5 and boaft 
not thyfelf in the time of thy diftrefs. 

27 e Better is he that laboureth, and aboundeth in all cProv - «$, 
things, than he that boafteth himfelf, and wanteth bread. 

28 My fon, glorify thy foul in meeknefs, and give it 
honour according to the dignity thereof. 

29 Who will juftify him thatfinnethagainft his own foul? 
and who will honour him that difhonoureth his own life ? 

30 The poor man is honoured for his fkill, and the 
rich man is honoured for his riches.

riches ? and he that is difhonourable in riches, how much

1 5 Wifdom, knowledge, and understanding of the law, 
are of the Lord : love, and the way of good works, are 
from him. 

16 Error and darknefs had their beginning together 
with finners j and evil fiiall wax old with them that glory 
therein. 

1 7 The gift of the Lord remaineth with the godly, and 
his favour bringeth profperity for ever. 

1 8 There is that waxeth rich by his wearinefs and 
pinching, and this is the portion of his reward. 

19 Whereas he faith, ' I have found reft, and now will 
eat continually of my goods ; and yet he knoweth not 
what time fhall || come upon him, and that he. mull leave 
thofe things to others, and die. 

20 k Be ftedfaft in thy covenant, and be converfant 
therein, and wax old in thy work- 

2 1 Marvel not at the works of finners ; but truft in the 
Lord, and abide in thy labour : for it is an eafy thing in 
the fight of the Lord on the hidden to malce a poor man 
rich. 

22 The bleffing of the Lord is || in the reward of 
the godly, and fuddenly he maketh his bleffing to fiour- 
ilh. 

23 Say not, ' What profit is there of my fervlce ? and 
what good things lhall I have hereafter ? 

24 Again, fay not, I have enough, and poiTefs many 
things •, and what evil can come to me hereafter ? 

25 In the day of profperity there is a forgetfulnefs of 
affliction •, and in the day of affliction there is no more re- 
membrance of profperity. 

16 For it is an eafy thing unto the Lord, in the day 
of death, to reward a man according to his ways. 

27 The affliction of an hour maketh a man forget pleaf- 
nre ; and in his end his deeds fhall be difcovered. 

28 Judge none blefled before his death j for a man fhall 
be known in his children. 

29 Bring not every man into thine houfe ; for the de- 
ceitful man hath many trains. 

30 Like as a partridge taken (and kept) in a cage, fo Is 
the heart of the proud ; and like as a fpy, watcheth he 
for thy fall : 

3 1 For he lieth in wait, and turneth good into evil 5 
and in things worthy praife will lay blame upon thee. 

32 Of a fpark of fire a heap of coals is kindled ; and a 
finful man layeth wait for blood. 

33 Take heed of a mifchievous man, for he worketh 
wickednefs •, left he bring upon thee a perpetual blot. 

34 Receive a ftranger into thine houfe, and he will 
$fturb thee, and turn thee out of thine own.

3 There can no good come to him that is always oc-

4 Give to the godly man, and help riot a finner. 

5 Do well unto him that is lowly ; but give not to the'

left he overmafter thee thereby : for (elfe) thou flialt re-

6 For the moft High hateth finners, and will repay

7 Give unto the good, and help not the finner. 

8 A friend cannot be known in profperity ; and an ene-

but in his adverfity even a friend will depart.

7 And he will fhame thee by his meats, until he have

fo the rich eat up the poor. 

20 As the proud hate humility ; fo doth the rich ab- 
hor the poor. 

2 1 A rich man, beginning to fall, is held up of his 
friends : but a poor man being down, is thruft alfo away 
by his friends. 

22 When a rich man is fallen, he hath many helpers; 
he fpeaketh things not to be fpoken, and yet men juftify 
him : the poor man flipped, and yet they rebuked him 
too •, he fpake wifely, and could have no place. 

23 When a rich man fpeaketh, every man holdcth his 
tongue j and look, what he faith, they extol it to the 
clouds : but if the poor man fpeak, they lay, What fellow is 
this ? and if he ftumble, they will help to overthrow him. 

24 Riches are good unto him that hath no fin, and 
poverty is evil in the mouth of the ungodly. 

25 The heart of a man changeth his countenance, 
whether it be for good or evil ; and a merry heart mak- 
eth a cheerful countenance. 

26 A cheerful countenance is a token of a heart that is 
in profperity ; and the finding out of parables is a weari- 
fome labour of the mind.

14 Make way for every work of mercy : for every man 
fhall find according to his works. 

1 5 The Lord hardened Pharaoh that he fhould not

the world. 

1 6 His mercy is manifeft to every creature ; and he hath 
feparated his light from the darknefs with an || adamant.

19 The mountains alfo and foundations of the earth 
fhall be fhaken with trembling, when the Lord looketh 
upon them. 

20 No heart can think upon thefe things worthily ; 
and who is able to conceive his ways ? 

21 It is a tempeft, which no man can fee ; for the moft 
part of his works are hid.. 

22 Who can declare the works of hisjuftice ? or who. 
can endure them ? for his covenant is afar off, and the 
trial of all things is in the end. 

23 He that wanteth underftanding will think upon 
vain things : and a foolifh man erring imagineth follies. 

24 My fon, hearken unto me, and learn knowledge, 
and mark my words with thy heart. 

25 I will fhew forth doctrine in weight, and declare his 
knowledge exactly. 

26 The works of the Lord are done in judgment from, 
the beginning : and from the time he made them he dif- 
pofed the parts thereof. 

27 He garnifhed his works for ever, and in his hand 
are the || chief of them unto all generations : they nei- 
ther labour, nor are weary, nor ceafe from their works. 

28 None of them hindereth another, and they fhall 
never difobey his word.

8 He fet his eye upon their hearts, that he might 

fhew them the greatnels of his works. 

He gave them to glory in his marvellous acts for 

ever, that they might declare his works with underftanding. 

10 And the- elect fhall praife his holy name. 

1 1 Befide this, he gave them knowledge, and the law 
of life for an heritage. 

1 2 He made an everlafting covenant with them, and 
fhewed them his judgments. 

13 Their eyes faw the majefty of his glory, and their 
ears heard his glorious voice. 

14 And he faid unto them, Beware of all unrighteouf- 
nefs ; and he c gave every man commandment concern- 
ing his neighbour. 

1 5 Their ways are ever before him, and fhall not be 
hid from his eyes. 

16 Every man from his youth is given to evil ; neither 
could they make to themfelves flelhy hearts for ftony. 

17 For d in the divifion of the nations of the whole 
earth, he fet a e ruler over every people : but f Ifrael is the 
Lord's portion 1 

18 Whom, being his firft born, he nourifheth with 
difcipline t and, giving him the light of his love, doth 
not forfake him. 

1 9 Therefore all their works are as the fun before 
him, and his eyes are continually upon their ways. 

20 None of their unrighteous deeds are hid from him, 
but all their fins are before the Lord. 

2 1 But the Lord, being gracious, and knowing his work- 
manfhip, neither left nor forfook them, but fpared them. 

22 The s alms of a man is as a fignet with him, and 
he will keep the good deeds of man as the apple of the 
eye, and give repentance to his fons and daughters. 

23 h Afterwards he will rife up and reward them, and 
render their recompenfe upon their heads. 

24 ' But unto them that repent, he granted them re- 
turn, and comforted thofe that failed in patience. 

25 k Return unto the Lord, and forfake thy fins, make 
thy prayer before his face, and || offend lefs. 

16 Turn again to the moft High, and turn away from 
iniquity : for he will lead thee out of darknefs into the 
|| light of health ; and hate thou abomination vehemently. 

27 ' Who fhall praife the moft High in the grave,, in- 
ftead of them which live and give thanks ? 

28 Thankfgiving perifheth from the dead as from one 
that is not ; the living and- found in heart fnali praife the 
Lord. 

29 How great is the loving kindnefs of the Lord our 
God, and his compaffion unto fuch as turn unto him. in

30 For all thing3 cannot be in men, becaufe the fonof 
man is not immortal.

thereof faileth ; and flefh and blood will imagine evil.

with a gracious man. 

18 A fool will upbraid churlifhly, and a gift of the en- 
vious confumeth the eyes. 

19 Learn before thou fpeak, and ufe phyfic or ever 
thou be fick. 

20 Before judgment s examine thyfelf, and in the day 
of vifitation thou fhalt find mercy. 

21 Humble thyfelf before thou be fick, and in the time 
of fins fhew repentance. 

22 Let nothing hinder thee to pay thy vow indue 
time, and defer not until death to be juftified. 

23 Before thou prayeft prepare thyfelf; and be not as 
one that tempteth the Lord. 

24 h Think upon the wrath that fhall be at the end, and 
the time of vengeance, when he fhall turn away his face. 

2:5 When thou haft enough, remember the time of 
hunger ; and when thou art rich, think upon poverty and 
need.. 

26 From the morning until the evening the time is 
changed, and all things are foon done before the Lord. 

27 ' A wife man will fear in every thing, and in the day 
of finning he will beware of offence : but a fool will not 
obferve time.. 

28 Every man of underftanding knoweth wifdom, and 
will give praife unto him that found her. 

29 They that were of underftanding in fayings became 
alfo wife themfelves, and poured forth exquifite parables. 

30 k Go not after thy lufts, but refrain thyfelf from 
thine appetites. 

3 1 If thou giveft thy foul the defires that pleafe her, 
flie will make thee a laughing flock to thine enemies that 
malign thee. 

32 Take not pleafure in much good cheer, neither be 
tied to the expenfe thereof.

LABOURING man that is given to drunkennefs 
fhall not be rich : and he that contemneth fmall 
things fhall fall by little and little. 

2 Wine and women will make men of underftanding to 
fall away ; and he that cleaveth to harlots will become 
impudent : 

3 Moths and worms fhall have him to heritage, and a 
bold man lhall be taken away. 

4 a He that is hafty to give credit is light minded ; and 
lie that finneth fhall offend againft his own foul. 

5 Whofo taketh pleafure in wickednefs fhall be con- 
demned : but he that refifteth pleafures crowneth his life. 

6 He that can rule his tongue fhall live without ftrife ; 
and he that hateth babbling fhall have lefs evil. ■ 

7 Rehearfe not unto another that which is told unto 
thee, and thou flialt fare never the worfe. 

8 Whether it be || to a friend or foe, talk not of other

I o If thou haft heard a word, let it die with thee ; and

19 The knowledge of the commandments of the Lord 
is the do£lrine of life ; and .they that do things that pleafe

20 The fear of the Lord is all wifdom ; and in all wif-

THERE is a reproof that is not j| comely : again, fome 
man holdeth his tongue, and he is wife. 
2 It is much better to reprove than to.be angry., fecret- 
ly ; and he that confeffeth his fault fhall be preferved 
from hurt. 

f~3 How good is it, when thou art reproved, to {hew re- 
pentance ! for fo flialt thou efcape wilful fin. 

4 As is the luft of a an eunuch to deflour a virgin ; fo 
is he that executeth judgment with violence. 

5 There is one that keepeth filence, and is found wife : 
and another by much babbling becometh hateful. 

6 Some man holdeth his tongue, becaufe he hath not to 
anfwer j and fome keepeth filence, b knowing his time. 

7 A wife man will hold his c tongue till he fee oppor- 
tunity : but a babbler and a fool will regard no time. 

8 He that ufeth many words fhall be abhorred ; and he 
that taketh to himfelf authority therein fhall be hated. 

9 There is a finnerthat hath good fuccefs in evil things ; 
and there is a gain that turneth to lofs. . 

I o There is a gift that fhall not profit thee 5 and there 
is a gift whofe recompenfe is double. 

I I There is an abafement becaufe of glory j and there

1 2 There is that buyeth much for a little, and repayeth 
it fevenfold.

but the || graces of fools fhall be || poured out. 

14 The gift of a fool fhall do thee no good when thou 
haft it ; neither yet of the envious for his neceffity : -f-for 
he looketh to receive many things for one. 

15 He giveth little, and upbraideth much j he openeth 
his mouth like a crier ; to day he iendeth, and tomorrow 
will he afk it again : fuch an one is to be hated of God 
and man.. 

16 The fool faith, I have no friends, I have no thanks 
for all my good deeds, and they that eat my bread fpeak 
evil of me. 

1 7 How oft, and of how many, fhall he be laughed to 
fcorn ! for he knoweth not aright what it is to have ; and 
it is all one unto him as if he had it not. 

18 To flip upon a pavement is better than to flip with 
the tongue j fo the fall of the wicked fhall come fpeedily. 

19 || An unfeafonable tale will always be in the mouth 
of the unwife. 

20 A wife fentence fhall be rejected when it cometh 
out of a fool's mouth 5 for he will not fpeak it in due feafon.

of are as the teeth of a lion, flaying the fouls of men. 

3 All iniquity is as a two edged fword, the wounds 
whereof cannot be healed. 

4 To terrify and do wrong will wafte riches : thus the 
houfe of proud men fhall be made defolate. 

5 b A prayer out of a poor man's mouth reacheth to the 
ears of God, and his judgment cometh fpeedily. 

6 He that hateth to be reproved is in the way of finners : 
bat he that feareth the Lord will f repent from his heart. 

7 -An eloquent man is known far and near : but a man

10 The way of finners is made plain with ftones, but

19 Doctrine unto fools is as fetters on the feet, 
like manacles on the right hand. 

20 s A fool lifteth- up his voice with laughter : but a 
wife man doth fcarce fmile a little. 

2 1 Learning is unto a wife man as an ornament of gold, 
and like a bracelet upon his right arm. 

22 A foolifh man's foot is foon in his (neighbour's) 
houfe : but a man of experience is afhamed of him. 

23 A fool will peep in at the door into the houfe : but 
he that is well nurtured will ftand without. 

24 It is the rudenefs of a man to hearken at the door 1 
but a wife man will be grieved with the difgrace. 

25 The lips of talkers will be telling fuch things as per- 
tain not unto them : but the words of fuch as have un- 
derftanding are weighed in the balance. 

26 The heart of fools is in their mouth ; but the mouth 
of the wife is in their heart. 

27 When the ungodly curfeth Satan, he curfeth his 
own foul. 

28 '' A whifperer defileth his own foul, and is hated 
wherefoever he dwelleth. 

G H A P. XXII. 
I Of a Jlothful man, 3 and afoolifj daughter. 7 Fools can- 
?iot be taught. 9 Of good and bad children. 1 1 Fools to 
be lamented rather than the dead : 1 3 they are not to be 
meddled with. 16 A wife heart will not fear. 

SLOTHFUL man is compared to a filthy ftone, 
and every one will hifs him out to his difgrace. 

2 A fiothful man is compared to the filth of a dunghill : 
every man that takes it up will fhake his hand. 

3 An evil nurtured fon is the difhonour of his father 
that begat him ; and a (foolifh) daughter is born to his lofs. 

4 a A wife daughter || fhall bring an inheritance to her 
hufband : but fhe that liveth difhoneftly is her father's 
heavinefs. 

5 She that is bold difhonoureth both her father and 
her hufband : but they both fhall defpife her. 

6 A tale out of feafon (is as) mufic in mourning : but 
ftripes and correction of wifdom are never out of time. 

7 Whofo teacheth a fool is as one that glueth a pot- 
fherd together, and as he that waketh one from a found 
fleep. 

8 He that telleth a tale to a fool fpeaketh to one in a 
number : when he hath told his tale, he will fay, What 
is the matter ? 

9 If children live honefHy, and have || wherewithal, 
they fhall cover the bafenefs of their parents : 

10 But children, being haughty, through difdain and 
want of nurture, do ftain the nobility of their kindred. 

1 1 b Weep for the dead, for he hath loft the light ; and 
weep for the fool, for he wanteth underftanding : make 
little weeping for the dead, for he is at reft : but the life 
of the fool is worfe than death. 

1 2 Seven days do men mourn for him that is dead : but 
for a fool, and an ungodly man, all the days of his life. 

13 Talk not much with a fool, and go not to him that 
hath no underftanding : c beware of him, left thou have 
trouble, and thou fhalt never be defiled || with his foole- 
ries : depart from him, and thou fhalt find reft, and never 
be || difquieted with madnefs.

thereof, but a fool ?

that pricketh the heart maketh it to Ihew her knowledge. 

20 Whofo cafteth a ftone at the birds frayeth them 
away ; and he that upbraideth his friend breaketh friend- 
fhip. 

2 1 Though thou dreweft a fword at thy friend, yet def- 
pair not : for there may be a returning (to favour.) 

22 If thou haft opened thy mouth againft thy friend, 
fear not ; for there may be a reconciliation : except for 
upbraiding, or pride, or difcloilng of fecrets, or a treacher- 
ous wound : for, for thefe things every friend will depart. 

23 Be faithful to thy neighbour in his poverty, that 
thou mayeft rejoice in his profperity : abide ftedfaft unto 
him in the time of his trouble, that thou mayeft be heir 
with him in his heritage : for a mean eftate is not always 
to be contemned ; nor the rich that is foolifh to be had 
in admiration. 

24 As the vapour and fmoke of a furnace goeth be- 
fore the fire ; fo reviling before blood. 

25 I will not be afhamed to defend a friend ; neither 
will I hide myfelf from him. 

26 And if .any evil happen unto me by him, everyone 
that heareth it will beware of him.

every people and nation, I got a poiTeffion. 

7 With all thefe I fought reft ; and in whofe inherit- 
ance fliall I abide. 

8 So the Creator of all things gave me a command- 
ment, and he that made me caufed my tabernacle to reft, 
and faid, Let thy dwelling be in Jacob, and thine inherit- 
ance in Ifrael. 

9 He b created me from the beginning, before the 
world, and I fliall never fail. 

10 In the c holy tabernacle I ferved before him; and 
fo was I eftablifhed in Sion. 

1 1 d Likewife in the || beloved city he gave me reft, 
and in Jerufalem was my power. 

1 2 And I took root in an honourable people, even in 
the portion of the Lord's inheritance. 

13 I was exalted like a cedar in Libanus, and as a cy- 
prefs tree upon the mountains of Hermon. 

14 I was exalted like a palm tree in fl Engaddi, and as 
a rofe plant in Jericho, as a fair olive tree in a pleafant 
field, and grew up as a plane tree || by the water. 

1 5 I gave a fvveet fmell like cinnamon and afpalathus, 
and I yielded a pleafant odour like the beft myrrh, as gal- 
banum, and onyx, and fweet ftorax, and as the fume of 
c frankincenfe in the tabernacle. 

16 As the turpentine tree I ftretched out my branches, 
and my branches are the branches of honour and grace. 

17 f As the vine brought I forth pleafant favour, and 
my flowers are the fruit of honour and riches. 

1 8 I am the mother of fair love, and fear, and knowl- 
edge, and holy hope : I therefore, being eternal, and given 
to all my children which are [| named of him. 

19 Come unto me, all ye that be defirous of me, and 
fill yourfelves with my fruits. 

20 For my memorial is s fweeter than honey, and mine 
inheritance than the honey comb. 

21 They that eat me fliall yet be hungry, and they 
that drink me fhall yet be thirfty. 

22 He that obeyeth me fhall never be confounded, and 
they that work by me fhall not do amifs. 

23 All thefe things are the book of the covenant of the 
moft high God, even the h law which Mofes commanded 

i'eut. 4Y, & for an heritage unto the congregations of Jacob. 

24 Faint not to be ftrong in the Lord -, that he may 
confirm you, cleave unto him : for the Lord Almighty is 
God alone, and befides him there is no other Saviour. 

iGcn.in. 25 He filleth all things with his wifdom, as ' Phifon,

27 He maketh the doctrine of knowledge appear as the

fliall the laft find her out. 

29 For her thoughts are more than the fea, and her 
counfels profounder than the great deep.

N three things 1 1] was beautified, and ftood up beautiful r «rf.' S ' 
both before God and men : the a unity of brethren, the g. Rom.'is 
love of neighbours, a man and a wife that agree together. I0 ' 

2 Three forts of men my foul hateth, and I am great- 
ly offended at their life ; a poor man that is proud, a rich 
man that is a liar, and an old adulterer that doateth. 

3 If thou haft gathered nothing in thy youth, how 
canft thou find any thing in thine age ? 

4 O how comely a thing is judgment for gray hairs, 
and for ancient men to know counfel ! 

5 O how comely is the wifdom of old men, and un- 
derftanding and counfel to men of honour ! 

6 Much experience is the crown of old men, and the 
fear of God is their glory. 

7 There be nine things which I have judged in mine 
heart to be happy, and the tenth I will utter with my 
tongue : A man that hath joy of his children ; and he 
that liveth to fee the fall of his enemy : 

8 Well is him that dwelleth with a wife of underftand- 
ing, and that hath not b flipped with his tongue, and that i> chap. 14 
hath not ferved a man more unworthy than himfelf. jam. 3 2. ' 

9 Well is him that hath found || prudence^ and he that j r f £ ]; it a

I o O how great is he that findeth wifdom ! yet is there 
none above him that feareth the Lord. 

I I But the love of the Lord paffeth all things for illumi- 
nation : he that holdeth it, || whereto fhall he be likened ? 1°?.;™ 

12 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of his love ; 
and faith is the beginning of cleaving unto him. 

13 (Give me) any plague but the plague of the heart ; 
and any wickednefs, but the wickednefs of a woman ; 

14 And any affliction but the affliction from them that 
hate me : and any revenge but the revenge of enemies. 

1 5 There is no head above the head of a ferpent ; and 
there is no wrath above the wrath of an enemy. 

16 c I had rather dwell with a lion and a dragon than c Prav - s» 
to keep houfe with a wicked woman. 

1 7 The wickednefs of a woman changeth her face, 
and darkeneth her countenance || like fackcloth. 

1 8 Her hufband fliall fit among his neighbours : and 
when he heareth it, fliall figh bitterly. 

19 All wickednefs is but little to the wickednefs of a 
woman : let the portion of a finner fall upon her. 

30 As the climbing up a fandy way is to the feet of 
the aged, fo is a wife || full of words to a quiet man. 11 or,/«K-

22 A woman, if flie maintain her hufband, is full of 
anger, impudence, and much reproach. 

23 A wicked woman abateth the courage, maketh an 
heavy countenance, and a wounded heart. A woman 
that will not comfort her huiband in diftrefs, maketh

I The blejftngs of a good wife, 4 and a good confcience. 
5 Four things to be feared. 28 Three things that caufe 
grief, Wc. 

LESS ED is the man that hath a virtuous wife ; for 
the number of his days fhall be double. 

2 A virtuous woman rejoiceth her hufband, and he 
fhall fulfil the years of his life in peace. 

3 A good wife is a good portion, which fhall be given 
in the portion of them that fear the Lord. 

4 Whether a man be rich or poor, if he have a good 
heart toward the Lord, he fhall at all times rejoice with 
a cheerful countenance. 

5 There be three things that mine heart feareth, and 
fcv.an evil for the fourth I was fore afraid ; f the flander of a city, 

the gathering together of an unruly multitude, and a falfe 
accufation : all thefe are worfe than death. 

6 But a grief of heart and forrow is a woman that is 
jealous over another woman, and a fcourge of the tongue 
which communicateth with all. 

7 An evil wife is || a yoke fhaken to and fro : he that 
hath hold of her is as though he held a fcorpion. 

8 A drunken woman, and a gadder abroad, caufeth 
great anger, and fhe will not cover her own fhame. 

9 The whoredom of a woman may be known in her 
haughty looks and eyelids. 

10 * If thy daughter be fhamelefs, keep her in ftraitly, 
left fhe abufe herfelf through overmuch liberty. 

i- 1 Watch over an impudent eye ; and marvel not if 
fhe trefpafs againft thee. 

1 2 She will open her mouth, as a thirfty traveller when 
he hath found a fountain, and drink of every water near 
her : by every || hedge will fhe fit down, and open her 
quiver againft every arrow. 

1 3 The grace of a wife delighteth her hufband, and her 
difcretion will fatten his bones. 

14 A filent and loving woman is a gift of the Lord ; 
and there is nothing fo much worth as a mind well in- 
ftrufted. 

1 5 A fhamefaced and faithful woman is a double grace, 
and her continent mind cannot be valued. 

1 6 As the fun when it arifeth f in the high heaven : 
fo is the beauty of a good wife in the || ordering of her 
houfe. 

1 7 As the clear light is upon the holy candleftick : fo 
is the beauty of the face |j in ripe age. 

1 8 As the golden pillars are upon the fockets of filver : 
fo are the || fair feet with a conftant || heart. 

19 My fon, keep the flower of thine age found 5 and 
give not thy ftrength to ftrangers. 

20 When thou haft gotten a fruitful poffeffion through 
all the field, fow it with thine own feed, trufting in the 
goodnefs of thy ftock. 

2 1 So thy race which thou leaveft fhall be magnified, 
having the confidence of their good defcent.

14 The talk of'him that fweareth much maketh the hair

1 5 The ftxife of the proud is bloodfhedding, and their 
revilings are grievous to the ear. 

1 6 Whofo difcovereth fecrets lofeth his credit ; and

pay thou thy neighbour again in due feafon. 

3 Keep thy word, and deal faithfully with him, and 
thou fhalt always find the thing that is necefFary for thee. 

4 Many, when a thing was lent them, reckoned it to 
be found, and put them to trouble that helped them. 

5 Till he hath received, he will kifs a man's hand ; and 
for his neighbour's money he will fpeak fubmifsly : buc 
when he fhould repay, he will prolong the time, and re- 
turn words of grief, and complain of the time. 

6 || If he prevail, he fhall hardly receive the half, and 
he will count as if he had found it ; if not, he hath de- 
prived him of his money, and he hath gotten him an 
enemy without caufe : he payeth him with curlings and 
railings ; and for honour he will pay him difgrace. 

7 Many, therefore, have refilled to lend for other 
men's ill dealing, fearing to be defrauded. 

8 Yet have thou patience with a man in poor eftate, 
and delay not to fhew him mercy. 

9 Help the poor for the commandment's fake, and turn 
him not away becaufe of his poverty. 

10 Lofe thy money for thy brother and thy friend,

1 Of the defre of riches. 1 2 Of moderation and excefs in 
eating, or drinking wine. 
ATCHING for a riches confumeth the fiefh, and 
the care thereof driveth away ileep. 

2 Watching care will not let a man flumber, as a fore 
difeafe breaketh fleep. 

3 The rich hath great labour in gathering riches to- 
gether ; and when he refteth, he is filled with his delicates. 

4 The poor laboureth in his poor eftate ; and when he 
leaveth off he is ftill needy. 

5 He that loveth gold fliall not be juftified, and he that 
followeth corruption fhall have enough thereof. 

6 b Gold hath been the ruin of many, and their deftruc- 
tion was prefent. 

7 It is a ftumbiing block unto them that facrifice unto 
it, and every fool fliall be taken therewith. 

8 c BlefTed is the rich that is found without blemifh, 
and hath not gone after gold. 

9 Who is he ? and we will call him bleffed : for won- 
derful things hath he done among his people. 

I o Who hath been tried thereby, and found perfect ? 
then let him glory. Who might offend, and hath not of- 
fended ? or done evil, and hath not done it ? 

I I His goods fhall be eftablifhcd, and the congregation 
fhall declare his alms. 

1 2 If thou fit at a bountiful table, d f be not greedy 
upon it, and fay not, There is much meat on it. 

1 3 Remember that a wicked eye is an evil thing ; and 
what is created more wicked than an eye ? therefore it 
weepeth || upon every occafion. 

14 Stretch not thine hand whitherfoever it looketh, 
and thruft it not with him into the difh. 

15 Judge of thy neighbour by thyfelf; and be difcreet 
in every point. 

16 Eat, as it becometh a man, thofe things which are 
fet before thee ; and devour not, left thou be hated. 

1 7 Leave off firft for manners' fake, e and be not unfa- 
tiable, left thou offend. 

1 8 When thou Titteft among many, reach not thine 
hand out firft of all. 

19 A very little is fufflcient for a man well nurtured ; 
|| and he fetcheth not his wind fhort upon his bed.

22 My fon, hear me, and defpife me not, and at the laft 
thou fhalt find as I told thee : in all thy works be quick, 
fo fhall there no ficknefs come unto thee. 

23 f Whofo is liberal of his meat, men fhall fpeak well

believed. 

24 But againft him that is a niggard of his meat, the

gardnefs fhall not be doubted of. 

25 Shew not thy g valiantnefs in wine ; h for wine hath 
deftroyed many. 

26 The furnace proveth the edge by dipping ; fo doth 
wine the hearts of the proud by drunkennefs. 

27 Wine is as good as life to a man, if it be drunk 
moderately : what is life then to a man that is without 
wine ? for it was made to make men glad. 

28 Wine meafurably drunk, and in feafon, bringeth 
gladnefs of the heart and cheerfulnefs of the mind : 

29 But wine drunken with excefs maketh bitternefs of 
the mind with brawling and quarrelling. 

30 Drunkennefs increafeth the rage of a fool till he 
offend j it diminifheth ftrength, and maketh wounds. 

3 1 Rebuke not thy neighbour at the wine, and defpife 
him not in his mirth : give him no defpiteful words, and 
prefs not upon him with urging him (to drink.) 

CHAP XXXII. 
I Of the duty of him that is mafler of a feaft. 3 Of the

F thou be made the mafter (of "a feaft,) lift not thyfelf 
up, but be among them as one of the reft ; take dil- 
igent care for them, and fo fit down. 

2 And when thou haft done all thy office, take thy 
place, that thou mayeft be merry with them, and receive 
a crown for thy well ordering of the feaft. 

3 Speak, thou that art the elder, for it becometh thee, 
but with found judgment ; and hinder not mufic. 

4 a Pour not out words where there is a mufician ; and 
fhew not forth wifdorn out of time. 

5 A concert of mufic in a banquet of "wine is as a 
fignet of carbuncle fet in gold. 

6 As a fignet of an emerald fet in a work of gold, fo 
is the melody of mufic with pleafant wine. 

7 Speak, young man, if there be need of thee ; and 
yet fcarcely when thou art twice afked. 

8 Let thy fpeech be fhort, comprehending much in few 
words; be as one that knoweth, and yet holdeth his tongue. 

9 b If thou be among great men, make not thyfelf equal 
with them ; and when ancient men are in place, ufe not 
many words. 

10 Before the thunder goeth lightning ; and before a 
fhamefaced man fhall go favour. 

1 1 Rife up betimes, and be not the laft •, but get thee 
home without delay. 

1 2 There take thy paftime and do what thou wilt •, but 
fin not by proud fpeech. 

13 And for thefe things blefs him that made thee, and 
hath replenifhed thee with his good things. 

14 Whofo feareth the Lord will receive his difcipline •, 
and they that feek him early fhall find favour. 

15 He that feeketh the law fhall be filled therewith : 
but the hypocrite will be offended thereat. 

1 6 They that fear the Lord fhall find judgment, and 
fhall kindle juftice as a light.

HERE fhall no evil happen unto him that feareth 
the Lord ; but in temptation even again he will 
deliver him. 

2 A wife man hateth not the law ; but he that is an 
hypocrite therein, is as a fhip in a ftorm. 

3 A man of underftanding trufteth in the law •, and 
the law is faithful unto him || as an oracle. 

4 Prepare what to fay, and fo thou flialt be heard ; 
and bind up inftruftion, and then make anfwer. 

5 The f heart of the a foolifh is like a cartwheel ; and 
his thoughts are like a rolling axletree. 

6 A ftallion horfe is as a mocking friend, he neigheth 
under every one that fitteth upon him. 

7 Why doth one day excel another, when as all the 
light of every day in the year is of the fun ? 

8 By the knowledge of the Lord they were diftin- 
guifhed ; and he altered feafons and feafts. 

9 Some of them hath he made high days, and hallowed 
them, and fome of them hath he || made ordinary days. 

10 And all men are from the ground, and b Adam was 
created of earth. 

1 1 In much knowledge the Lord hath divided them, 
and made their ways diverfe. 

12 Some of them hath he blefied and exalted, and 
fome of them hath he fanclified and fet near himfelf : but 
fome of them hath he curfed and brought low, and turn- 
ed out of their || places. 

13 c As the clay is in the potter's hand, to fafhion it at 
his pleafure ; fo man is in the hand of him that made 
him, to render to them as liketh him beft. 

14 Good is fet aganft evil, and life againft death ; fo is 
the godly againft the finner, and the iinner againft the 
godly. 

15 So look upon all the works of the mod High ; and 
there are two and two, one againft another.

the Lord hath created him. 

2 For of the moft High cometh healing, and he fhall 
receive || honour of the king. 

3 The fkill of the phyfician fhall lift up his head ; and 
in the fight of great men he fhall be in admiration. 

4 The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth •, 
and he that is wife will not abhor them. 

5 a Was not the water made fweet with wood, that 
the virtue thereof might be known ? 

6 And he hath given men fkill, that he might be hon- 
oured in his marvellous works. 

7 With fuch doth he heal (men,) and taketh away 
their pains. 

8 Of fuch doth the apothecary make a confection ; 
and of his works there is no end, and from him is peace 
over all the earth. 

9 My fon, in thy ficknefs be not negligent ; but b pray 
unto the Lord, and he will make thee whole. 

10 Leave off from fin, and order thine hands aright, 
and cleanfe thy heart from all wickednefs. 

1 1 Give a fweet favour, and a memorial of fine flour : 
and make a fat offering, || as not being.

hath created him : let him not go from thee, for thou 
haft need of him.

the hand of the phyfician. 

16 My fon, let tears fall down over the dead, and 
begin to lament, as if thou hadft fuftered great harm thy-

and neglect not his burial.

the poor is the curfe of the heart. 

20 Take no heavinefs to heart : drive it away, and re-

2 1 Forget it not, for there is no turning again : thou

24 The wifdom of a learned man cometh by oppor- 
tunity of leifure ; and he that hath little bufinefs fhall 
become wife. 

25 How can he get wifdom that holdeth the plough, 
and that glorieth in the goad ? that driveth oxen, and is 
occupied in their labours, and whofe talk is f of bullocks ? 

26 He giveth his mind to make furrows ; and is dili- 
gent to give the kine fodder. 

27 So every carpenter and workmafter, that laboureth 
night and day : and they that cut and grave feals, and are 
diligent to make great variety, and give themfelves to 
counterfeit imagery, and watch to finifh a work. 

28 The fmithalfo fitting by the anvil, and confidering 
the iron work, the vapour of the fire wafteth his flefli, 
and he fighteth with the heat of the furnace : the noife of 
the hammer and the anvil is ever in his ears, and his eyes 
look ftill upon the pattern of the thing that he maketh ; 
he fetteth his mind to finifh his work, and watcheth to 
polifh it perfectly : 

29 So doth the potter fitting at his work, and turning 
the wheel about with his feet, who is alway carefully fet 
at his work, and maketh all his work by number ; 

30 He fafhioneth the clay with his arm, and || boweth 
down his ftrength before his feet ; he applieth himfelf to 
lead it over ; and he is diligent to make clean the furnace : 

3 1 All thefe truft to their hands ; and every one is 
wife in his work. 

3 2 Without thefe cannot a city be inhabited ; and they 
fhall not dwell where they will, nor go up and down. 

33 They fhall not be fought for in public counfel, nor 
fit high in the congregation: they fhall not fit on the judges' 
feat, nor underftand the fentence of judgment : they can- 
not declare juftice and judgment ; and they fhall not be 
found where parables are fpoken. 

34 But they will maintain the ftate of the world, and 
(all) their defire is in the work of their craft.

and give thanks unto the Lord in his prayer. 

7 He fhall direcl his counfel and knowledge, and in 
his fecrets fhall he meditate. 

8 He fhall fhew forth that which he hath learned, and 
fhall glory in the law of the covenant of the Lord. 

9 Many fhall commend his underftanding ; and fo 
long as the world endureth, it fhall not be blotted out ; 
his memorial fhall not depart away, and his name fhall 
live from generation to generation. 

io a Nations fhall fhew forth his wifdom, and the con- 
gregation fhall declare his praife. 

ii If he die, he fhall leave a greater name than a thou- 
fand ; and, if he live, he fhall || increafe it. 

1 2 Yet have I more to fay, which I have thought upon ; 
for I am filled as the moon at the full. 

1 3 Hearken unto me, ye holy children, and bud forth 
as a rofe growing by the || brook of the field : 

14 And give ye a fweet favour as frankincenfe, and 
flourifh as a liiy ; fend forth a fmell, and fing a fong of 
praife ; blefs the Lord in all his works. 

15 Magnify his name, and fhew forth his praife with 
the longs of your lips, and with harps -, and in praifing him 
ye fhall fay after this manner : 

1 6 b All the works of the Lord are exceeding good, 
and whatfoever he commandeth fhall be accomplified in 
due feafon. 

1 7 And none may fay, What is this ? wherefore is that ? 
for at time convenient they fhall all be fought out : at his 
commandment the waters flood as an heap, and at the 
words of his mouth the receptacles of waters. 

18 At his commandment is done whatfoever pleafeth 
him : and none can hinder when he will fave. 

19 The works of all flefh are before him, and nothing 
can be hid from his eyes. 

20 Hefeeth from everlafting to everlafting ; and there 
is nothing wonderful before him. 

2 1 A man need not to fay, What is this ? wherefore is 
that ? for he hath made all things for their ufes. 

22 His bleffing covered the dry land as a river, and 
watered it as a flood. 

23 As he hath turned the waters into faltnefs ; fo fhall 
the heathen inherit his wrath. 

a 14 24 c As his ways are plain unto the holy j fo are they 
{tumbling blocks unto the wicked. 

25 For the good are good things created from the be- 
ginning ; fo evil things for finners. 

26 The principal things for the whole ufe of man's life 
are water, fire, iron, and fait, flour of wheat, honey, 
milk, and the blood of the grape, and oil, and clothing. 

27 All thefe things are for good to the godly ; fo to 
the finners they are turned into evil. 

28 There be fpirits that are created for vengeance, 
which in their fury lay on fore ftrokes ; in the time of 
deftruc~tion they pour out their force, and appeafe the 
wrath of him that made them. 

29 Fire, and hail, and famine, and death, all thefe

6 A little or nothing is his reft, and afterward he is in

O DEATH, how bitter is the remembrance of thee to a

that hath nothing to vex him, and that hath profperity 
in all things ; yea, unto him that is yet able to receive meat ! 

2 O death, acceptable is thy fentence unto the needy,

laft age^ and || is vexed with all things, and to him that 
defpaireth, and hath loft patience ! 

3 Fear not the fentence of death, remember them that 
have been before thee, and that come after ; for this is 
the fentence of the Lord over all flefh. 

4 And why art thou againft the pleafure of the moft 
High ? there is no inquifition in the grave, whether thou 
have lived ten, or an hundred, or a thoufand years.

19 The hoar froft alfo as fait he poureth on the earth,

20 When the cold north wind bloweth, and the water is 
congealed into ice, it abideth upon every gathering togeth-

30 When ye glorify the Lord, exalt him as much as ye 
can ; for even yet will he far exceed : and when ye exalt 
him, put forth all your ftrength, and be not weary j for 
ye can never go far enough.

1 7 d Noah was found perfect and righteous ; in the

1 2 He fet a crown of gold upon the mitre, wherein was 
engraved Holinefs, an ornament of honour, a coftly work, 
the defires of the eyes, goodly and beautiful. 

1 3 Before him there were none fuch, neither did ever

14 Their facrifices fhall be wholly confumed every day

1 6 He chofe him out of all men living to offer facrifices

to make reconciliation for his people. 

17s He gave unto him his commandments, and autho-

Jacob the teftimonies, and inform Ifrael in his laws. 

1 8 h Strangers confpired together againft him, and

of Dathan's and Abiron's flde, and the congregation of 
Core, with fury and wrath. 

19 This the Lord faw, and it difpleafed him, and in his 
wrathful indignation were they confumed : he did won- 
ders upon them, to confume them with the fiery flame. 

20 ; But he made Aaron more honourable, and gave 
him an heritage, and divided unto him the firft fruits of 
the increafe, efpecially he prepared bread in abundance : 

2 1 For they ate of the facrifices of the Lord, which he 
gave unto him and his feed. 

22 k Howbeit, in the land of the people he had no in-

becaufe he had zeal t in the fear of the Lord, and flood up 
with good courage of heart when the people were turned

24 Therefore was there a covenant of peace made with 
him, that he fhould be the chief of the fandtuary, and of 
his people, and that he and his pofterity fhould have the 
dignity of the priefthood for ever : 

25 According to the covenant made with David fon of 
Jefle, of the tribe of Juda, that the inheritance of the king 
fhould be to his pofterity alone ; fo the inheritance of 
Aaron fhould alfo be unto his feed.

3 Who before him fo flood to it ? for the Lord him- 
felf brought his enemies unto him. 

4 b Did not the fun go back by his means ? and was not 
one day as long as two ? 

5 He called upon the moft high Lord, when the ene- 
mies prefTed upon him on every fide ; and the great Lord 
heard him. 

6 And with hailftones of mighty power he made the 
battle to fall violently upon the nations, and in the de- 
fcent (of Bethhoron) he deftroyed them that refifted, that 
the nations might know all their ftrength, becaufe he 
fought in the fight of the Lord, and he followed the 
Mighty One. 

7 In the time of Mofes alfo he did a work of mercy, 
he and Caleb the fon of Jephunne, in that they withftood 
the congregatioj^^id withheld the people from fin, and 
appeafed the wl^H murmuring. 

8 c And of fij^iundred thoufand people on foot, they 
two were preferved to bring them into the heritage, even 
unto the land that floweth with milk and honey. 

9 The Lord gave ftrength alfo unto Caleb, which re- 
mained with him unto his old age ; fo that he entered upon 
the high places of the land, and his feed obtained it for 
an heritage : 

10 That all the children of Ifrael might fee that it is, 
good to follow the Lord. 

1 1 And concerning the judges, every one by name, 
whofe heart went not a whoring, nor departed from the 
Lord, let their memory be blefTed. 

1 2 Let their bones d flourifh out of their place, and let 
the name of them that were honoured be continued upon

1 3 e Samuel the prophet of the Lord, beloved of his 
Lord, eftablifhed a kingdom, and anointed princes over 
his people. 

14 By the law of the Lord, he judged the congregation, 
and the Lord had refpect unto Jacob. 

1 5 By his faithfulnefs he was found a true prophet, and 
by his word he was known to be faithful in vifion. 

16 He called upon the mighty Lord, when his enemies 
prefTed upon him on -every fide, when he offered the 
Tucking lamb. 

1 7 And the Lord thundered from heaven, and with a 
great noife made his voice to be heard. 

1 8 And he deftroyed the rulers of the Tyrians, and all 
the princes of the Philiftines. 

19 And before his longfleep he made s proteftations in 
the fight of the Lord and his anointed, I have not taken 
any man's goods, fo much as a fhoe : and no man did ac- 
cufe him. 

20 And after his death h he prophefied, and fhewed the 
king his end, and lifted up his voice from the earth in 
prophecy, to blot out the wickednefs of the people.

3 || He played with b lions as with kids, and with bears 
as with lambs. 

Slew he not a giant when he wasyet but young ? and 



did he not take away reproach from the people, when he 
lifted up his hand with the ftone in the fling, and beat 
down the boafting of Goliath ? 

5 For he called upon the moft High Lord, and he gave 
him ftrength in his right hand to flay that mighty warrior, 
and fet up the horn of his people. 

6 So the people honoured him with d ten thoufands, 
and praifed him in the bleffings of the Lord, in that he 
gave him a crown of glory. 

7 For e he deftroyed the enemies on every fide, and 
|| brought to nought the Philiftines his adverfaries, and 
brake their horn in funder unto this day. 

8 In all his works he praifed the holy One moft High 
with words of glory ; with his whole heart he fung fongs, 
and loved him that made him. 

9 f Ha fet fingers alfo before the altar, that by their 
voices they might make fweet melody, and daily fing 
praifes in their fongs. 

to He beautified their feafts, and fet in order the 
folemn times || until the end, that they might praife 
his holy name, and that the temple might found from 
morning. 

us The Lord took away his fins, and exalted his 
hern for ever : he gave him a covenant of kings, and a 
throne || of glory in Ifrael. 

12 After him rofe up a wife fon, and for his fake he 
dwelt at large. 

f 3 h Solomon reigned in a peaceable time, and was 
honoured : for God made all quiet round about him, that 
he might build an houfe in his name, and prepare his- 
fanftuary for ever^ 

14 I How wife waff thou in thy youth, and as a flood, 
filled with understanding ! 

1 5 Thy foul covered the whole earth, and thou filledft 
it with dark parables. 

16 Thy name went far unto the ifiands ; and for thy 
peace thou waft beloved. 

17 k The countries marvelled at thee for thy fongs, 
and proverbs, and parables, and interpretations. 

1 8 By the name of the Lord God, which is called the 
Lord God of Ifrael, thou didft ' gather gold as tin, and 
didft multiply filver as lead. 

19 m Thou didft bow thy loins unto women, and || by 
thy body thou waft brought into fubje&ion. 

20 Thou didft ftain thy honour, and pollute thy feed; 
fo that thoubroughteft wrath upon thy children, and waft 
grieved for thy folly. 

21 " So the kingdom was divided, and out ofEphraim 
ruled a rebellious kingdom. 

22 °But the Lord will never leave off his mercy, nei- 
ther fhall any of his works perifh, neither will he abolifh 
the pofterity of his elect, and the feed of him that loveth 
him he will not take away ; wherefore he gave a rem- 
nant unto Jacob, and out of him a root unto David. 

23 Thus refted Solomon with his fathers, and of his 
feed he left behind him Roboam, even the foolifhnefs of 
the people, and one that had no underftanding, who 
i' turned away the people through his counfel. There 
was alfo Jeroboam the fon of Nebat, who 1 caufed Ifrael 
to fin, and fhewed Ephraim the way of fin. 

24 And their fins were multiplied exceedingly, that they 
were driven out of the land.

CHAP. XLIX. 

I The praife of Jofas, 6 of Jeremy, 8 of Ezehiel, 1 1 of 
Zorobabel, 12 Jefus the f on of Jofedec, CSV. 

THE remembrance of a Jofias is like the compofition 
of the perfume that is made by the art of the apoth- 
ecary : it is fweet as honey in all mouths, and as mufic 
at a banquet of wine. 

2 He || behaved himfelf uprightly in the conversion of 
the people, and took away the abominations of iniquity. 

3 b He directed his heart unto the Lord, and in the 
time of the ungodly he eftablifhed the worfhip of God. 

4 All, except David, and Ezekias, and Jofias, were de- 
fective : for they forfook the law of the moft High, even 
the kings of Juda failed ; 

5 Therefore he gave their || power unto others, and 
their glory to a ftrange nation. .^^ 

6 c They burnt the chofen city o^H^ fanrtuary, and 
made the ftreets defolate, |J according^^he prophecy of 
Jeremias. 

7 For they d entreated him evil, who nevertheless was 
a prophet, e fandtified in his mother's womb, that he might 
root out, and afflict, and deftroy ; and that he might build 
up alfo, and plant. 

8 ' It was Ezekiel who faw the glorious vifion, which 
was fhewed him upon the chariot of the cherubims. 

9 For he s made mention of the enemies under the 
figure of the rain, and || directed them that went right. 

10 And of the twelve prophets let the memorial be 
blefied, and h let their bones flourifh again out of their 
place ; for they comforted Jacob, and delivered them by 
aflured hope. 

1 1 How fhall we magnify ' Zorobabel ? even he was as 
a fignet on the right hand. 

1 2 So was k Jefus the fon of Jofedec ; who, in their 
time, builded the houfe, and fet up an holy temple to the 
Lord, which was prepared for everlafting glory. 

1 3 And among the elect was Neemias, whofe renown is 
great, 1 who raifed up for us the walls that were fallen, and 
fet up the gates andthe bars, and raifed up our ruins again: 

14 But upon the earth was no man created like m Enoch; 
for he was taken from the earth. 

15 Neither was there a man born like unto n Jofeph, a 
governor of his brethren, a ftay of the people, whofe bones 
were regarded of the Lord. 

x6 ° Sem and Seth were in great honour among men,

6 He was as the morning ftar in the midft of a cloud, 
and as the moon at the full : 

7 As the fun fhining upon the temple of the moft High, 
and .as the rainbow giving light in the bright clouds : 

8 And as the flower of rofes in the fpring of the year, 
as lilies by the rivers of waters, and as the branches of the 
frankincenfe tree in the time of fummer : 

9 As fire and incenfe in the cenfer, and as a veffel of 
beaten gold fet with all manner of precious ftones : 

I o And' as a fair olive tree budding forth fruit, and as 
a cyprefs tree which groweth up to the clouds. 

I I When he put on the robe of honour, and was cloth- 
ed with the perfection of glory, when he went up to the 
holy altar, he made the garment "of holinefs honourable. 

1 2 When he took the portions out of the prieft's hands, 
he himfelf flood by the hearth of the altar, compafled with 
his brethren round about, as a young cedar in Libanus ; 
and as palm trees compafled they him round about. 

13 So were all the fons of Aaron in their glory, and 
the oblations of the Lord in their hands, before all the 
congregation of Ifrael. 

1 4 And finishing the fervice at the altar, that he might 
adorn the offering of the moft High Almighty, 

1 5 He ftretched out his hand to the cup, and poured of 
the blood of the grape, he poured out at the foot of the altar 
a fweet fmelling favour unto the moft High King of all. 

16 Thenfhouted the fons of Aaron, and founded the 
gor.frumftr; |j filver trumpets, and made a great noife to be heard, for 
wiiiuhc kam- a remembrance before the moft High. 

1 7 Then all the people together hafted, and fell down 
to the earth upon their faces, to worfhip their Lord God 
Almighty, the mtift High. 

1 8 The fingers alfo fang praifes with their voices ; with 
great variety of founds was there made fweet melody. 

• 19 And the people befought the Lord, the moft High, 
by prayer before him that is merciful, till the folemnity 
of the Lord was ended, and they had finifhed his fervice. 

20 Then he went down, and lifted up his hands over 
the whole congregation of the children of Ifrael, to give the 
blefllng of the Lord with his lips, and to rejoice in his name. 

21 And they bowed themfelves down to worfhip the 
fecond time, that they might receive a blefling from the 
moft High. 

22 Now, therefore, blefsye the God of all, which only 
doeth wondrous things every where, which exalteth our 
days from the womb, and dealeth with us according to 
his mercy. 

23 He grant us joyfulnefs of heart, and that peace may 
be in our days in Ifrael for ever : 

24 That he would confirm his mercy with us, and de- 
liver us at his time ! 

25 There be two manner of nations which my heart 
abhorreth, and the third is no nation. 

26 They that fit upon the mountain of Samaria, and 
they that dwell among the Phihftines, and that foolifh 
people that dwell in Sichem. 

27 Jefus the fon of Sirach of Jerufalem, hath written in 
this book the inftrucliion of underftanding and knowl- 
edge, who out of his heart poured forth wifdom. 

28 Blefled is he that fhaU be exercifed in thefe things; 
and he that layeth them up in his heart fliall become wife. 

29 For if he do them, he fliall be ftrong to all things ; 
for the light of the Lord leadeth him, who giveth wif-

f A prayer of Jefus the fon of Sirach. 

I WILL thank thee, O Lord and King, and praife 
thee, O God my Saviour : I do give praife unto thy 
name : 

2 For thou art my defender and helper, and haft pre- 
ferved my body from deftruction, and from the fnare of 

- the flanderous tongue, and from the lips thaj: forge lies, 
and haft been mine helper againft mine adverfaries : 

3 And haft delivered me, according to the multitude 
of thy mercies and greatnefs of thy name, from f the 
teeth of them that were ready to devour me, and out of 
the hands of fuch as fought after my life, and from the 
manifold afflictions which I had ; 

4 From the choking of fire on every fide, and from the 
midft of the fire which I kindled not ; 

5 From the depth of the belly of hell, from an unclean 
tongue, and from lying words. 

6 By an "accufation to the king from an unrighteous 
tongue, my foul drew near even unto death, my life was 
near to the hell beneath. 

7 They compafled me on every fide, and there was no 
man to help me : I looked for the fuccour of men, but 
there was none. 

8 Then thought I upon thy mercy, O Lord, and upon 
thy a£ts of old, how thou delivereft fuch as wait for thee, 
and faveft them out of the hands of the enemies. 

9 Then lifted I up my fupplication from the earth, and 
prayed for deliverance from death. 

10 I called upon the Lord, the Father of my Lord, 
that he would not leave me in the days of my trouble, and 
in the time of the proud, when there was no help. 

nl will praife thy name continually, and will fing 

praife with thankfgiving ; || and fo my prayer was heard. 

1 2 For thou favedft me from definition, and deliver- 

edft me from the evil time : therefore will I give thanks, 

and praife thee, and blefs thy name, O Lord. 

.13 When I was yet young, or ever I || went abroad, I 
defired wifdom openly in my prayer. 

14 I prayed for her before the temple, and will feek 
her out even to the end. 

1 5 Even from the flower till the grape was ripe, hath 
my heart delighted in her : my foot went the right way ; 
from my youth up fought I after her. 

16 I bowed down mine ear a little, and received her, 
and gat much learning. 

1 7 I profited therein, therefore will I afcribe the glory 
unto him that giveth me wifdom. 

1 8 For I purpofed to do after her, and earneftly I fol- 
lowecffliat which is good ; fo fliall I not be confounded. 

19 My foul hath wreftled^vith her, and in my doings 
I was exact : I ftretched forth my hands to the heaven a- 
bove and bewailed my ignorances of her. 

20 || I directed my foul unto her, and I found her in 
purenefs : I have had my heart joined with her from the 
beginning, therefore fliall I not be forfaken. 

2 1 My || heart was troubled in feeking her ; therefore 
have I gotten a good pofleflion. 

22 The Lord hath given me a tongue for my reward, 
and I will praife him therewith.

N D thefe are the words of the book which Ba- 
ruch the fon of Nerias, the fon of Maafias, the fon 
of Sedecias, the fon of Afadias, the fon of Chelcias, wrote 
in Babylon, 

2 In the fifth year, and in the feventh day of the 
month, what time as the Chaldeans took Jerufalem and 
burnt it with fire. 

3 And Baruch did read the words of this book in the

and in the ears of all the people that came to-hear the book, 

4 And in the hearing of the nobles, and of the king's 
fons, and in the hearing of the elders, and of all the peo- 
ple, from the loweft unto the higheft, even of all them 
that dwelt at Babylon by the river Sud. 

II or and voii- e Whereupon they wept, fafted, j| and prayed before

6 They made alfo a collection of money, according to 

every man's power ; 
i or, jo icim 7 ^nd they fent it to Jerufalem unto || Joachim the 

high prieft, the fon of Chelcias, fon of Salom, and to the 

priefts, and to all the people which were found with him 

at Jerufalem. 

8 At the fame time when he received the vefTels of 
the houfe of the Lord, that were carried out of the tem- 
ple, to return them into the land of Juda, the tenth day 
of the month Sivan, namely filver vefTels, which Sedecias

priefts, and to our prophets, and to our fathers : 

17 For we have b finned before the Lord, b Dan. 95.: 

1 8 And difobeyed him, and have not hearkened unto 
the voice of the Lord our God, to walk in the command- 
ments that he gave us openly : 

19 Since the day that the Lord brought our fore- 
fathers out of the land of Egypt unto this prefent day, 
we have been difobedient unto the Lord our God, and 
we have been negligent in not hearing his voice. 

20 c Wherefore, the evils cleaved unto us, and the curfe c Drat, 
which the Lord appointed by Mofes his fervant at the 
time that he brought our fathers out of the land of Egypt, 
to give us a land that floweth with milk and honey, like 
as it is to fee this day. 

2 1 Neverthelefs we have not hearkened unto the voice 
of the Lord our God, according unto all the words of the 
prophets, whom he fent unto us : 

22 But every man followed the imagination of his own 
wicked heart, to ferve ftrange gods, and to do evil in the 
fight of the Lord our God. 

CHAP. II. 

A continuation of the confeffion and prayer which the Jews 
at Babylon made, and fent to Jerufalem. 

THEREFORE the Lord hath made good his word 
which he pronounced againft us, and againft our 
judges that judged Ifrael, and againft our kings, and 
againft our princes, and againft the men of Ifrael and Juda, 

2 To bring upon us great plagues, fuch as never hap- 
pened under the whole heaven, as it came to pafs in Jeru- 
falem, according to the things that were written in the 
law of Mofes ; 

3 That a man fhould a eat the flefh of his own fon, 
and the flefh of his own daughter. 

4 Moreover he hath delivered them to be in fubjec- 
tion to all the kingdoms that are round about us, to be as 
a reproach and dSfolation among all the people round 
about, where the Lord hath fcattered them. 

5 Thus we f were caft down, and not exalted, becaufe 
we have finned againft the Lord our God, and have not ¥£$%£* 
been obedient unto his voice. 

6 b To the Lord our God appertaineth righteoufnefs •, but bc.hap.i ij. 
unto us and to our fathers open fhame, as appear eth this day. 

7 For all thefe plagues are come upon us, which the 
Lord hath pronounced againft us. 

8 Yet have we not prayed before the Lord, that we 
might turn every one from the imaginations of his wick- 
ed heart. 

9 Wherefore the Lord watched over us for evil, and 
the Lord hath brought it upon us : for the Lord is 

righteous

The prayer and confejfion made

10 Yet we have not hearkened unto his voice, to waik in

thy people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand, 
and high arm, and with figns, and with wonders, and 
with great power, and haft gotten thyfelf a name, as ap- 
peareth this day : 

1 2 O Lord our God, we have finned, we have done 
ungodly, we have dealt unrighteoufly in all thine ordi-

1 3 Let thy wrath turn from us ; for we are but a few 
left among the heathen, where thou haft fcattered us.

19 f Therefore we do not make our humble fupplication

ferve the king of Babylon ; fo fhall ye remain in the land 
that I gave unto your fathers. 

22 But if ye will not hear the voice of the Lord, to 
ferve the king of Babylon, 

23 I will caufe to ceafe out of the cities of Juda, and from 
without Jerufalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of joy, 
the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride ; 
and the whole land fhall be defolate of inhabitants. 

24 But we would not hearken unto thy voice, to ferve 
the king of Babylon : therefore haft thou made good the 
words that thou fpakeft by thy fervants the prophets,name- 
ly, that the bones of our kings, and the bones of our fath- 
ers, fhould be taken out of their places. 

25 And, lo, they are caft out to the heat of the day, 
and to the froft of the night, and they died in great mife- 
ries, by famine, by fword, and by peftilence. 

26 And the houfe which is called by thy name haft thou 
laid wafte, as it is to be Jem this day, for the wickednefs of 
the houfe of Ifrael, and the houfe of Juda. 

27 O Lord our God, thou haft dealt with us after all thy 
goodnefs, and according to all that great mercy of thine, 

28 As thou fpakeft by thy fervant Mofes, in the day 
when thou didft command him to write thy law before the

34 And I will bring them again into the land which I 
promifed with an oath unto their fathers, Abraham, Ifaac, 
and Jacob ; and they fhall be lords of it : and I will in- 
creafe them, and they fhall not be diminifhed. 

35 And I will make an everlafting covenant with them 
to be their God, and they fhall be my people : and I will 
no more drive my people of Ifrael out of the land that I 
have given them.

OL O R D Almighty, God of Ifrael, the foul in an- 
guifh, the troubled fpirit, crieth unto thee. 

2 Hear, O Lord, and have mercy *, for thou art merci- 
ful : and have pity upon us, becaufe we have finned before 
thee. 

3 For thou endureft for ever, and we perifh utterly. 

4 O Lord Almighty, thou God of Ifrael, hear now the 
prayers of the dead Ifraelites, and of their children, which 
have finned before thee, and not hearkened unto the voice 
of thee their God : for the which caufe thefe plagues 
cleave unto us. 

5 Remember not the iniquities of our forefathers : but 
think upon thy power and thy name now at this time. 

6 For thou art the Lord our God : and thee, O Lord, 
will we praife. 

7 And for this caufe thou haft put thy fear in our hearts, 
to the intent that we fhould call upon thy name, and praife 
thee in our captivity : for a we have called to mind all the 
iniquity of our forefathers that finned before thee. 

8 Behold, we are yet this day in our captivity, where 
thou haft fcattered us, for a reproach and a curfe, and to 
be fubject to payments, according to all the iniquities of 
our fathers, which departed from the Lord our God. 

9 Hear, Ifrael, the commandments of life : give ear 
to underftand wifdom. 

I o How happeneth it, Ifrael, that thou art in thine 
enemies' land, that thou art waxen old in a ftrange coun- 
try, that thou art defiled with the dead, 

I I That thou art counted with them that go down in- 
to the grave ? 

12 Thou haft forfaken the fountain of wifdom. 

13 For if thou hadft walked in the way of God, thou 
fhouldeft have dwelled in peace for ever. 

14 Learn where is wifdom, where is ftrength, where is 
underftanding; that thou mayeft know alfo where is length 
of days and life, where is the light of the eyes and peace. 

15 b Who hath found out her place? or who hath b o -l° b2811

\6 Where are the princes of the heathen become, and 
fuch as ruled the beafts upon the earth : 

1 7 They that had their paftime with the fowls of the

men truft, and made no end of their getting ? 

1 8 For they that wrought in filver, and were fo care-

19 They are vanifhed, and gone down to the grave,

23 The Agarenes that feek wifdom upon earth, the

have known the way of wifdom, or remember her paths. 

24 O Ifrael, how great is the houfe of God ! and how 
large is the place of his poffeffion ! 

25 Great, and hath none end ; high, and unmeafurable. 

26 There were the giants famous from the beginning, 
that were of fo great ftature, and fo expert in war : 

27 Thofe did not the Lord choofe, neither gave he the 
way of knowledge unto them : 

28 But they were deftroyed, becaufe they had no wif- 
dom, and perifhed through their own foolifhnefs. 

29 Who hath gone up into heaven, and taken her, and 
brought her down from the clouds ? 

30 Who hath gone over the fea, and found her, and 
will bring her for pure gold ? 

3 1 No man knoweth her way, nor thinketh of her path. 

3 2 But he that knoweth all things knoweth her, and hath 
found her out with his understanding; he that prepared the 
earth for evermore hath filled it with fourfooted beafts •, 

33 He that fendeth forth light, and it goeth, calleth it 
again, and it obeyeth him with fear. 

34 The ftars ihined in their watches, and rejoiced : 
when he calleth them, they fay, Here we be : and fo with 
cheerfulnefs they fhewed light unto him that made them. 

3 5 This is our God, and there fhall none other be ac- 
counted of in comparifon of him. 

36 He hath found out all the way of knowledge, and hath 
given it unto Jacob his fervant, and to Ifrael his beloved. 

3 7 c Afterward did he fliew himfelf upon earth, andcon- 
verfed with men. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 The bo:k of the commandments is that wifdom which was 
commended in the foregoing chapter. 2 The Jews exhorted 
to lav hold on it, and comforted with hope, &c. 

^W^ HIS is the book of the commandments of God, 
and the law that endureth forever : all they that 
keep it shall come to life ; but fuch as leave it fhall die. 

2 Turn thee, O Jacob, and take hold of it ; walk f in 
the prefence of the light thereof, that thou mayeft be il- 
luminated. 

3 Give not thine honour to another, nor the things that 
are profitable unto thee to a ftrange nation. 

4 O Ifrael, happy are we : for things that are pleafing to 
God are made known unto us. 

5 Be of good cheer, my people, the memorial of Ifrael. 

6 Ye were fold to the nations, not for (your) deitruc- 
tion : but becaufe ye moved God to wrath ye were deliver- 
ed unto the enemies. 

7 For ye provoked him that made you, by Sacrificing 
unto devils, and not to God.

1 1 With joy did I nourifh them ; but fent them away 
with weeping and mourning. 

12 Let no man rejoice over me, a widow, and forfaken 
of many, who for the fins of my children am left defolate ; 
becaufe they departed from the law of God. 

1 3 They knew not his Statutes, nor walked in the ways 
of his commandments, nor trode in the paths || of difci- 
pline in his righteoufnefs. 

14 Let them that dwell about Sion come ; and remem- 
ber ye the captivity of my fons and daughters, which the 
Everlafting hath brought upon them. 

15 For he hath brought a nation upon them from far, 
a fhamelefs nation, and of a ftrange language, who neither 
reverenced old man, nor pitied child. 

16 Thefe have carried away the dear beloved children 
of the widow, and left her that was alone defolate without 
daughters. 

1 7 But what can I help you ? 

1 8 For he that brought thefe plagues upon you will de- 
liver you from the hands of your enemies. 

19 Go your way, O my children, go your way : fori am 
left defolate. 

20 I have put ofF.the clothing of || peace, and put upon 
me the fackcloth of my prayer : I will cry unto the Ever- 
lafting |] b in my days. 

2 1 Be of good cheer, O my children, cry unto the Lord, 
and he fhall deliver you from the power and hand of the 
enemies. 

22 For my hope is in the Everlafting, that he willfave 
you ; and joy is come unto me from the holy One, becaufe. 
of the mercy which fhall foon come unto you from the 
Everlafting our Saviour. 

23 For I fent you out with mourning and weeping ; 
but Godwill give you to me again with joy and gladnefs 
for ever. 

24 Like as now the neighbours of Sion have feen your 
captivity, fo fhall they fee fhortly your falvation from our 
God, which fhall come upon you with great glory, and 
brightnefs of the Everlafting. 

25 My children, fuffer patiently the wrath that is 
come upon you from God : for thine enemy hath perfecut- 
ed thee ; but. fhortly thou fhalt fee his deftruclion, and 
fhalt tread upon his neck. 

26 || My delicate ones have gone rough ways, and were 
taken away as a flock caught of the enemies. 

27 Be of good comfort, O my children, and cry unto 
God : for ye fhall be remembered of him that brought 
thefe things upon you. 

28 For as it was your mind to go aftray from God, fo, 
being returned, feek him ten times more. 

29 For he that hath brought thefe plagues upon you, 
fhall bring you everlafting joy again with your falvation. 

30 Take a good heart, O Jerufalem ; for he that gave 
thee that name will comfort thee. 

3 1 Miferable are they that afflicted thee, and rejoiced 
at thy fall. 

3 2 Miferable are the cities which thy children ferved ; 
miferable is fhe that received thy fons. 

33 For as fhe rejoiced at thy ruin, and was glad of thy 
fall ; fo fhall fhe be grieved for her own defolation. 

34 For I will take away the rejoicing of her great mul- 
titude, and her pride fhall be turned into mourning. 

35 For fire fhall come upon her from the Everlafting, 
long to endure ; and fhe fhall be inhabited of devils for a 
great time.

36 O Jerufalem, look about thee toward the eaft, and 
behold the joy that cometh unto thee from God. 
■ 3 7 Loj thy fons come, whom thou fenteft away ; they 
come, gathered together from the eaft to the weft by the 
word of the Holy One, rejoicing in the glory of God. 

CHAP. V. 

Jerufalem is moved to rejoice at her rejtoration, &c. 

PUT off, O Jerufalem, the garment of thy mourning 
and affliction, and put on the comelinefs of the glory 
that cometh from God for ever. 

2 Caft about thee a double garment of the righteoufnefs 
which cometh from God ; and fet a diadem on thine head 
of the glory of the Everlafting. 

3 For God will fhew thy brightnefs unto every coun- 
try under heaven. 

4 For thy name mall be called of God for ever, The 
peace of righteoufnefs ; and, The glory of God's worfhip. 

5 Arife, O Jerufalem, and ftand on high, and look about 
toward the eaft, and behold thy children gathered from 
the weft unto the eaft by the word of the Holy One, re- 
joicing in the remembrance of God. 

6 For they departed from thee on foot, and were led 
away cf their enemies ; but God bringeth them unto thee 
exalted with glory, as children of the kingdom. 

7 For God hath appointed that every high hill, and 
banks of long continuance, Ihould be caft down, and val- 
lies filled up, to make even the ground, that Ifrael may go 
fafely in the glory of God. 

8 Moreover, even the woods, and every fweetfrnelling 
tree, ftiall overfhadow Ifrael, by the commandment of God. 

9 For God fhall lead Ifrael with joy in the light of his 
glory, with the mercy and righteoufnefs that cometh 
from him. 

The EPISTLE of JEREMY. 

CHAP. VI. 

1 Jeremy JJj <eweth the caufe of their captivity is their fns : 4 
they are warned againjl the idolatry praclifed in Babylon. 

A Copy of an Epiftle, which Jeremy fent unto them which 
were to be led captives into Babylon by the king of the 
Babylonians, to certify them, as it was commanded 
him of God. 
ECAUSE of the fins which ye have committed be- 
fore God, ye fhall be led away captives into Babylon 
by Nabuchodonofor king of the Babylonians. 

3 So when ye be come unto Babylon, ye fhall remain 
there many years, and for a long feafon, namely, feven gen- 
erations ; and after that I will bring you away peaceably 
from thence. 
*psa.n54. 4 a Now fhall ye fee in Babylon gods of filver, and of

wisdom 13 nations to fear. 

5 Beware, therefore, that ye in no wife be like to ftran- 
gers, neither be ye afraid of them, when ye fee the multi- 
tude before them and behind them, worfhipping them. 

6 But fay ye in your hearts, O Lord, we muft worfhip 
thee. 

7 For mine angel is with you, and I myfelf caring for 
your fouls. 

8 As for their tongue, it is polifhed by the workman, 
and they themfelves are gilded, and laid over with gold ; 
yet are they but falfe, and cannot fpeak.

to go gay, they make crowns for the heads of their gods. 
-10 Sometimes alfo the pricfts convey from their gods 
gold and filver, and beftow it upon themfelves. 

1 1 Yea, they will give thereof to the || common harlots, J°£ fc 
and deck them as men with garments, (being') sods of fil- prostitute 
\er, and gods of gold, and wood. epmiy. 

1 2 Yet cannot thefe gods fave themfelves from ruft and 
moths, though they be covered with purple raiment. 

13 They wipe their faces becaufe of the duft of the 
temple, when there is much upon them. 

_ 14 And he that cannot put to death one that offendeth 
him, holdeth a fceptre, as though he were a judge of the 
country. 

1 5 He hath alfo in his right hand a dagger and an axe ; 
but cannot deliver himfelf from war and thieves. 

16 Whereby they are known not to be gods : therefore 
fear them not. 

1 7 For like as a veffel that a man ufeth is nothing worth 
when it is broken ; even fo it is with their gods : when 
they be fet up in the temple, their eyes be full of duft 
through the feet of them that come in. 

1 8 And as the || doors are made fure on every fide upon 
him that offendeth the king, as being committed to fuffer 
death •, even fo the priefts make faft their temples with 
doors, with locks and bars, left their gods be fpoiled with 
robbers. 

19 They light them candles, yea, more than for them- 
felves, whereof they cannot fee one. 

20 They are as one of the beams of the temple, yet 
they fay their hearts are f gnawed upon by things creeping 
out of the earth ; and when they eat them and their clothes, 
they feel it not. 

21 Their faces are blacked through thefmoke that com- 
eth out of the temple. 

22 Upon their bodies and heads fit bats, fwallows, and 
birds, and the cats alfo. 

23 By this ye may know that they are no gods : there- 
fore fear them not. 

24 Notwithftanding the gold that is about them to 
make them beautiful, except they wipe off the ruft they 
will not fhine : for neither when they were molten did 
they feel it. 

25 The things wherein there is no breath are bought 
for || a moft high price. 

26 b They are borne upon fhoulders, having no feet ; 
whereby they declare unto men that they be nothing 
worth. 

27 They alfo that ferye them are afhamed : for, if they 
fall to the ground at any time, they cannot rife up again 
of themfelves : neither, if one fet them upright, can they 
move of themfelves ; neither if they be bowed down, 
can they make themfelves ftraight : but they fet || gifts 
before them, as unto dead men. 

28 As for the things that are facrificed unto them, 
their priefts fell and || abufe ; in like manner their wives 
lay up part thereof in fait •: but unto the poor and impo- 
tent they give nothing of it. 

29 Menftruous women, and women in childbed, c eat 
their facrifices : by thefe things ye may know that they 
are no gods : fear them not : 

30 For how can they be called gods ? becaufe women 
fet meat before the gods of filver, gold, and wood. 

31 And the priefts fit in their temples, having their 
clothes rent, and their heads and beards {haven, and 
nothing upon their heads.

The vanity of the idols and BARUC H. 

32 They roar and cry before their gods, as men do at I 
the feaft when one is dead. 

3 3 The priefts alfo take off their garments, and clothe 
their wives and children. 

34 Whether it be evil that one doeth unto them, or 
good, they are not able to recompenfe it :' they can nei- 
ther fet up a king, nor put him down. 

35 In like manner, they can neither give riches nor 
money : though a man make a vow unto them, and keep 
it not, they will not require it. 

36 They can fave no man from death, neither deliver 
the weak from the mighty. 

3 7 They cannot reftore a blind man to his fight, nor 
help any man in his diftrefs. 

38 They can fhew no mercy to the widow, nor do good 
to the fatherlefs. 

39 Their gods of wood, and which are overlaid with 
gold and iiiver, are like the ftones that be hewn out of the 
mountain ; they that worlhip them fhall be confounded. 

40 How fhould a man then think and fay that they are 
gods, when even the Chaldeans themfelves difhonour 
them ? 

41 Who if they fhall fee one dumb that cannot fpeak, 
they || bring him, and entreat Bel that he may fpeak, as 
though he were able to underftand. . 

42 Yet they cannot underftand this themfelves, and 
leave them : for they have no || knowledge. 

43 The women alfo with cords about them, fitting in 
the ways, burn bran for perfume : but if any of them, 
drawn by fome that pafleth by, lie with him, fhe reproach- 
eth her fellow, that fhe was not thought as worthy as her- 
felf, nor her cord broken. 

44 Whatfoever is done among them is falfe : how may 
it then be thought or faid that they are gods ? 

45 They are made of carpenters and goldfmiths ; they 
can be nothing elfe than the workmen will have them 
to be. 

46 And they themfelves that made them can never con- 
tinue long ; how fhould then the things that are made of 
them be gods ? 

47 For they left lies and reproaches to them that come 
after. 

48 For when there cometh any war or plague upon 
them, the priefts confult with themfelves where they may 
be hidden with them. 

49 How then cannot men perceive that they be no 
gods, which can neither fave themfelves from war, nor 
from plague ? 

50 d For, feeing they be but of wood, and overlaid with 
filver and gold, it fliall be known hereafter that they are 
falfe : 

5 1 And it fhall manifeftly appear to all nations and 
kings, that they are no gods, but the works of men's 
hands, and that there is no work of God in them. 

5 2 Who then may not know that they are no gods ? 
53 For neither can they fet up a king in the land, nor 
give rain unto men.

idehifry of the Babylonians, 

54 Neither can they judge their own caule, nor redrefs 
a wrong, being unable ; for they are as crows between 
heaven and earth. 

55 Whereupon, when fire falleth upon the houfe of 
gods of wood, or laid over with gold or filver, their priefts- 
will flee away and efcape 5 but they themfelves fliall be 
burnt afunder like beams. 

56 Moreover, they cannot withftand any king or ene- 
mies : how can it then be thought or faid that they be 
gods ? 

57 Neither are thofe gods of wood, and laid over with 
filver or gold, able to efcape either from thieves or robbers. 

5 8 Whofe gold and filver, and garments wherewith they 
are clothed, they that are ftrong do take, and go away 
withal : neither are they able to help themfelves. 

59 Therefore it is better to be a king that fheweth his 
power, or elfe a profitable veflel in an houfe, which the 
owner fhall have ufe of, than fuch falfe gods •, or to be a 
door in an houfe, to keep fuch things fafe as be therein, 
than fuch falfe gods ; or a pillar of wood in a palace, than 
fuch falfe gods. 

60 For fun, moon, and fears, being bright, and fent to 
do their offices, are obedient. 

61 In like manner the lightning, when itbreaketh forth, 
is eafy to be feen j and || after the fame manner the wind 
bloweth in every country. 

62 And when God commandeth the clouds to go over 
the whole world, they do as they are bidden. 

63 And the fire fent from above, to confume hills and 
woods, doeth as it is commanded : but thefe are like unto 
them neither in fhew nor power. 

64 Wherefore it is neither to be fuppofed nor faid, that 
they are gods, feeing that they are able neither to judge 
caufes, nor to do good unto men. 

65 Knowing, therefore, that they are no gods, fear 
them not. 

66 For they can neither curfe nor blefs kings. 

67 Neither can they fhew figns in the heavens among 
the heathen, nor fhine as the fun, nor give light as the 
moon. 

68 The beafts are better than they ; for they can get 
under a covert, and help themfelves. 

69 It is then by no means manifeft unto us that they 
are gods : therefore fear them not. 

70 For as a fcarecrow in a garden of cucumbers keep- 
eth nothing ; fo are their gods of wood, and laid over with 
filver and gold. 

7 1 And likewife their gods of wood, and laid over with 
filver and gold, are like to a white thorn in an orchard, 
that every bird fitteth upon ; as alfo to a dead body that 
is caft into the dark. 

72 And ye fhall know them to be no gods, by the 
|| bright purple that rotteth upon them : and they them- 
felves afterward fhall be eaten, and fhall be a reproach in 
the country. 

73 Better therefore, is the juft man that hath none 
idols : for he fliall be far from reproach.

AN D they walked in the midft of the fire, praifing 
God, and blefling the Lord. 

2 Then Azarias flood up, and prayed on this manner ; 
and, opening his mouth in the midft of the fire, faid, 

3 Bleffed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers : thy 
name is worthy to be praifed and glorified for evermore : 

4 For thou art righteous in all the things that thou haft 
done to us ; yea, true are all thy works, thy ways are right, 

»ps. 25 10. and a all thy judgments truth. 

5 In all the things that thou haft brought upon us, and 
upon the holy city of our fathers, even Jerufalem, thou 
haft executed true judgment ; for according to truth and 
judgment didft thou bring all thefe things upon us, be- 
caufe of our fins. 

6 For we have finned, and committed iniquity, de- 
parting from thee. 

7 In all things have we trefpaffed, and not obeyed thy 
commandments, nor kept them, neither done as thou 
haft commanded us, that it might go well with us. 

8 Wherefore all that thou haft brought upon us> and 
every thing that thou haft done to us, thou haft done in 
true judgment. 

9 And thou didft deliver us into the hands of lawlefs 
enemies, moft hateful forfakers of God, and to an unjuft 
king, and the moft wicked in all the world. 

10 And now we cannot open our mouths, we are be- 
come a fhame and reproach to thy fervants, and to them 
that worfhip thee. 

1 1 Yet deliver us not up wholly, for thy name's fake, 
neither difannul thou thy covenant ; 

1 2 And caufe not thy mercy to depart from us, for thy 
beloved Abraham's fake, for thy fervant Ifaac's fake, and 
for thy holy Ifrael's fake ; 

13 To whom thou haft fpoken and promifed, that thou 
wouldeft multiply their feed as the ftars of heaven, and 
as the fand that lieth upon the fea fhore. 

14 For we, O Lord, are become lefs than any nation, 
and be kept under this day in all the world, becaufe of 
our fins. 

1 5 Neither is there at this time prince or prophet, or 
leader, or burnt offering, or facrifice, or oblation, or in- 
cenfe, or place to facrifice before thee, and to find mercy. 

16 Neverthelefs, in a contrite heart, and an humble 
fpirit, let us be accepted. 

17 Like as in the burnt offerings of rams and bullocks, 
and like as in ten thoufands of fat lambs ; fo let our facri- 
fice be in thy fight this day, and grant that we may wholly 
go after thee : for they fhall not be confounded that put 
their truft in thee. 

1 8 And now we follow thee with all our heart, we fear 
thee, and feek thy face. 

19 Put us not to fhame : but deal with us after thy 
loving kindnefs, and according to the multitude of thy 
mercies. 

20 Deliver us alfo according to thy marvellous works, 



and give glory to thy name, O Lord ; and let all them 
that do thy fervants hurt be afhamed -, 

21 And let them be confounded j| in all their power ; or i y t>y

22 And let them know that thou art Lord, the only 
God, and glorious over the whole world.

I The family of Susanna. 5 Two judges feek to gratify 
their lujl with her : 15 they find her alone in the gar- 
den : 28 they accufe her falfely. 45 Daniel examineth the 
matter, &c. 

THERE dwelt a man in Babylon called Joacim : 
2 And he took a wife, whofe name was Sufanna, 
the daughter of Chelcias, a very fair woman, and one that 
feared the Lord. 

3 Her parents alfo were righteous, and taught their 
daughter according to the law of Mofes. 

4 Now Joacim was a great rich man, and had a fair 
garden joining unto his houfe : and to him reforted the 
jews : becaufe he was more honourable than all others. 

5 The fame year were appointed two of the ancients of 
the people to be judges, fuch as the Lord fpake of, that 
wickednefs came from Babylon from ancient judges, who 
feemed to govern the people. 

6 Thefe kept much at Joacim's houfe ; and all that 
had any fuits in law came unto them. 

7 Now, when the people departed away at noon, Su- 
fanna went into her hufband's garden to walk. 

8 And the two elders faw her going in every day and 
walking ; fo that their luft was inflamed toward her. 

9 And they perverted their own mind, and turned away 
their eyes, that they might not look unto heaven, nor re- 
member juft judgments. 

I o And albeit they both were wounded with her love, 
yet durft not one fliew another his grief. 

I I For they were afhamed to declare their luft, that 
they defired to have to do with her. 

1 2 Yetthey watched diligently from day to day to fee her. 

1 3 And the one faid to the other, Let us now go home : 
for it is dinner time.

14 So, when they were gone out, they parted the one 
from the other, and turning back again, they came to the 
fame place : and after that they had alked one another the 
caufe, they acknowledged their luft : then appointed they 
a time both together, when they might find her alone. 

15 if And it fell out, as they watched a fit time, fiie 
went in f as before, with two maids only, and fhe was 
defirous to wafh herfelf in the garden : for it was hot. 

16 And there was no body there lave the two elders, 
that had hid themfelves, and watched her. 

1 7 Then fhe faid to her maids, Bring me oil and wafh- 
ing balls, and fhut the garden doors, that I may wafh me. 

1 8 And they did as fhe bade them, and fhut the garden 
doors, and went out themfelves at J| privy doors to fetch 
the things that fhe had commanded them : but they faw 
not the elders, becaufe they were hid. ■ 

19 Now, when the maids were gone forth, the two ei- 
ders, rofe up, and ran unto her, faying, 

20 Behold, the garden doors are fhut, that no man can 
fee us, and we are in love with thee ; therefore confent 
unto us, and lie with us. 

2 1 If thou wilt not, we will bear witnefs againft thee, 
that a young man was with thee ; and therefore thou didft 
fend away thy maids from thee. 

22 Then Sufanna fighed, and faid, I am ftraitened on 
every fide : for if I do this thing it is death unto me ; 
and if I do it not, I cannot efcape your hands. 

23 It is better for me to fall into your hands, and not 
to do it, than to fin in the fight of the Lord. 

24 With that Sufanna cried with a loud voice : and the 
two elders cried out againft her. 

25 Then ran the one, and opened the garden door. 

26 So, when the fervants of the houfe heard the cry in

the garden, they rufhed in at a privy door, to fee what was 
done unto her. 

27 But when the elders had declared their matter, the 
fervants were greatly afhamed : for there was never fuch 
a report made of Sufanna. 

28 f And it came to pafs the next day, when the peo- 
ple were afTembled to her hufband Joacim, the two elders 
came alfo full of mifchievous imagination againft Sufanna 
to put her to death ; 

29 And faid before the people, Send for Sufanna, the 
daughter of Chelcias, Joacim's wife. And fo they fent. 

30 So (he came withrher father and mother, her chil- 
dren and all her kindred. 

3 1 Now Sufanna was a very delicate woman, and beau- 
teous to behold. 

32 And thefe wicked men commanded to uncover her 
face, (for fhe was covered,) that they might be filled with 

her beauty. 

33 Therefore her friends, and all that faw her, wept. 

34 Then the two elders ftood up in the midft of the 
people, and laid their hands upon her head. 

35 And fhe, weeping, looked up towards heaven: for 
her heart trufted in the Lord. 

36 And the elders faid, As we walked in the garden 
alone, this woman came in with two maids, and fhut the 
garden doors, and fent the maids away. 

3 7 Then a young man, who was there hid, came unto 
her, and lay with her. 

38 Then we that flood in a corner of the garden, feeing 
this wickednefs, ran unto them. 

39 And when we faw them together, the man we could 
not hold : for he was ftronger than we, and opened the 
door and leaped out. 

40 But having taken this woman, we afked who the 
young man was, but fhe would not tell us : thefe things 
do we teftify. 

41 Then the affembly believed them, as thofe that were 
the elders and judges of the people : fo they condemned 
her to death. 

42 1f Then Sufanna cried out with a loud voice, and 
faid, O everlafting God, that knoweft the fecrets, and 
knoweft all things before they be ; 

43 Thou knoweft that they have borne falfe witnefs 
againft me, and, behold, I muft die ; whereas I never did 
fuch things as thefe men have malicioufly invented againft 
me. 

44 And the Lord heard her voice. 

45 Therefore, when fhe was led to be put to death, the 
Lord raifed up the holy fpirit of a young youth, whofe 
name was Daniel ; 

46 Who cried with a loud voice, I am clear from the 
blood of this woman. 

47 Then all the people turned them toward him, and 
faid, "What mean thefe words that thou haft fpoken ?

fuch fools, ye fons of Ifrael, that, without examination or 
knowledge of the truth, ye have condemned a daughter of 
Ifrael ? 

49 Return again to the place of judgment : for they 
have borne falfe witnefs againft her. 

50 Wherefore all the people turned again in hafte, and 
the elders faid unto him, Come, lit down among us, and 
fhew it us, feeing God hath given thee the honour of an; 
elder. 

5 1 Then faid Daniel unto them, Put thefe two afide 
one far from another, and I will examine them. 

52 So when they were put afunder one from another, 
he called one of them, and faid unto him, O thou that art 
waxen old in wickednefs, now thy fins which thou haft 
committed aforetime are come to light : 

53 For thou haft pronounced falfe judgment, and haft 
condemned the innocent, and haft let the guilty go free ; 
albeit the Lord faith, a The innocent and righteous fhalt * ~~ v «i- 
thou not flay. 

54 Now then, if thou haft feen her, tell me, Under 
what tree faweft thou them companying together ? Who 
anfwered, Under a f maftic tree. 

55 And Daniel faid, Very well : thou haft lied againft 
thine own head : for even now the anjjel of God hath re- 

O 

ceived the fentence of God to cut thee in two. 

56 So he put him afide, and commanded to bring the 
other, and faid unto him, O thou feed of Chanaan, and 
not of Juda, beauty hath deceived thee, and luft hath per- 
verted thine heart. 

57 Thus have ye dealt with the daughters of Ifrael, and 
they for fear companied with you ; but the daughter of 
Juda would not abide your wickednefs. 

58 Now, therefore, tell me, Under what tree didft thon 
take them companying together ? Who anfwered, Under 

an ||holm tree. \fe J 

59 Then faid Daniel unto him, Well ; thou haft alfo 
lied againft thine own head : for the angel of God wait- 
ed* with the fword to cut thee in two, that he may deftroy 
you. 

60 With that all the affembly cried out with a loud 
voice, and praifed God, who faveth them that truft in 
him. 

61 And they arofe againft the two elders, (for Daniel 
had convicted them of falfe witnefs by their own mouth,) 

62 And according to the law of Mofes b they did unto b Deut 
them in fuch fort as they malicioufly intended to do to [ 
their neighbour : and they put them to death. Thus the 
innocent blood was faved the fame day. 

63 ThereforeChelcias and his wife praifedGod for their 
daughter Sufanna, with Joacim her hufband, and all the 
kindred, becaufe there was no difhonefty found in her.

idols made with hands, but the living God, who hath 
created the heaven and the earth, and hath fovereignty 
over all flefh. 

6 Then faid the king unto him, Thinkeft thou not 
that Bel is a living god ? feeft thou not how much he eat- 
cth and drinketh every day ? 

7 Then Daniel fmiled, and faid, O King, be not de- 
ceived : for this is but clay within, and brafs without, 
and did never a eat or drink any thing. 

8 So the king was wroth, and called for his priefts, 
and faid unto them, If ye tell me not who this is that de- 
voureth thefe expenfes, ye fhall die. 

9 But if ye can certify me that Bel devOureth them, 
then Daniel fhall die : for he hath fpoken blafphemy a- 
■gainft Bel. And Daniel faid unto the king, Let it be ac- 
cording to thy word. 

io (Now the priefts of Bel were threefcore and ten, 
befide their wives and children.) And the king went 
Avith Daniel into the temple of BeL 

1 1 So Bel's priefts faid, Lo, we go out ; but thou, O 
king, fet on the meat, and make ready the wine, and fhut 
the door faft, and feal it with thine own fignet ; 

1 2 And tomorrow when thou comeft in, if thou find- 
eft not that Bel hath eaten up all, we will fuffer death ; 
or elfe Daniel, that fpeaketh falfely againft us. 

1 3 And they little regarded it : for under the table they 
had made a privy entrance, whereby they entered in con- 
tinually, and confumed thofe things. 

14 So, when they were gone forth, the king fet meats 
before Bel. Now Daniel had commanded his fervants 
to bring afh.es, and thofe they ftrewed throughout all the 
temple in the prefence of the king alone : then went they 
out, and fhut ,the door, and fealed it with the king's fig- 
net, and fo departed,. 

1 5 Now in the night came the priefts, with their wives 
and children (as they were wont to do,) and did eat and 
drink up all. 

1 6 In the morning betime the king arofe, and Daniel 
with him. 

1 7 And the king faid, Daniel, are the feals whole ? And 
he faid, Yea, O king, they be whole. 

1 8 And as foon as he had opened the door, the king 
looked upon the table, and cried with a loud voice, Great 
art thou, O Bel, and with thee is no deceit at all. 

19 Then laughed Daniel, and held the king that he 
fhouid not go in, and faid, Behold now the pavement, and 
mark well whofe footfteps are thefe. 

20 And the king faid, I fee the footfteps of men, wo- 
men and children. And then the king was angry, 

21 And took the priefts, with their wives and children, 
who fhewed him the privy doors where they came in, and 
confumed fuch things as were upon the table. 

22 Therefore the king flew them, and delivered Bel 
into Daniel's power, who deftroyed him and his temple. 



of MANASSES. 

23 || And in that fame plaoe-lliere was a 'great dragon, 
which they of Babylon worfhipped. 

24 And the king faid unto Daniel, Wilt thou alfo fay 
that this is of brafs ? lo, he liveth, he eateth, and drink- 
eth ; thou canft not fay that he is no living god: therefore 
worfhip him. 

25 Then faid Daniel unto the king, I will worfhip the 
Lord my God ; for he is the living God. 

26 But give me leave, O king, and I fhall flay this dra- 
gon without fwordor ftafF. The kingfaid, I give thee leave. 

27 Then Daniel took pitch, and fat, and hair, and did 
feethe them together, and made lu^nps thereof: this he put 
in the dragon's mouth, and fo the dragon burft in funder: 
and Daniel faid, ||Lo, thefe are the gods ye worfhip. 

28 When they of Babylon heard that, they took great 
indignation, and -confpired againft the king, faying, The 
king is become a Jew, and he hath deftroyed Bel, he hath 
flain the dragon, and put the priefts to death. 

29 So they came to the king, and faid, Deliver us 
Daniel, or elfe we will deftroy thee and thine houfe. 

30 Now, when the king faw that they preffed him fore, 
being conftrained, he b delivered Daniel unto them ; 

3 1 Who caft him into the lion's den ; where he was fix 
days. 

32 And in the den there were feven lions, and they had 
given them every day || two carcaffes, and two fheep^ which 
then were not given to them, to the intent they might de- 
vour Daniel. 

33 Now there was in Jewry a prophet called Habbacuc, 
who had || made pottage, and had broken bread in a bowl, 
and was going into the field, for to bring it to the reapers. 

34 But the angel of the Lord faid unto Habbacuc, Go, 
carry the dinner that thou haft into Babylon unto Daniel, 
who is in the lion's den. 

35 And Habbacuc faid, Lord, I never faw Babylon ; 
neither do I know where the den is. 

36 Then the angel of the Lord took him by the crown, 
and c bare him by the hair of his head, and through the 
vehemency of his fpirit fet him in Babylon over the den. 

37 And Habbacuc cried, faying, O Daniel, Daniel, d take 
the dinner which God hath fent thee. 

38 And Daniel faid, Thou haft remembered me, O God, 
neither haft thou forfaken them that feek thee, and love 
thee. 

39 So Daniel arofe, and did eat ; and the angel of the 
Lord fet Habbacuc in his own place again immediately. 

40 Upon the feventh day the king went to bewail Dan- 
iel ; and when he came to the den, he looked in, and, be- 
hold, Daniel was fitting. 

4 1 Then cried the king with a loud voice, faying, Great 
art thou, O Lord God of Daniel, and there is none other 
befide thee. 

42 e And he drew him out, and caft thofe that were the 
caufe of his deftrudtion into the den ; and they were de- 
voured in a moment before his face.

that he reigned in his ftead, the firft over Greece, 

2 And made many wars, and won many ftrong holds, 
and flew the kings of the earth, 

3 And went through to the ends of the earth, and took 
fpoils of many nations, infomuch that the earth was quiet 
before him ; whereupon || he was exalted, and his heart 
Was lifted up. 

4 And he gathered a mighty ftrong hoft, and ruled 
over countries, and nations, and || kings, who became tri-

r; And after thefe things he fell fick, and perceived

6 Wherefore he called his fervants, fuch as were hon- 
ourable, and had been brought up with him from his j 
youth, and parted his kingdom among them, while he ■ 
was yet alive. 

7 So Alexander reigned twelve years, and then died. 

8 And his fervants bare rule every one in his place. 

9 And after his death they all put crowns upon them- 
felves • fo did their fons after them many years ; and evils 
were multiplied in the earth.

and thirty and feventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks, 
i-v 1 1 In thofe days went there out of Ifrael wicked men,

and were fold to do mifchief.

\6 Now, when the kingdom Was eftablifhed before An- 
tiochus, he thought to reign over Egypt, that he might 
have the dominion of two realms. 

1 7 Wherefore he entered into Egypt with a great mul- 
titude, with chariots, and elephants, and horfemen, and a 
great navy, 

18 And made war againft Ptolemee, king of Egypt : but 
Ptolemee was afraid of him, and fied ; and many were 
wounded to death. 

19 Thus they got the ftrong cities in the land of Egypt, 
and he took the fpoils thereof. 

20 And after that Antiochus had fmitten Egypt, he re- 
turnedagain, in the hundred forty and thirdyear, and went 
up againft Ifrael and Jerufalem with a great multitude ; 

2 1 And entered proudly into the fanctuary, and took 
away the golden altar, and the candlefti ck of light, and 
all the veffels thereof, 

22 And the table of the fhew bread, and the pouring 
veffels, and the vials, and the cenfers of gold, and the 
veil, and the 1 crowns, and the golden ornaments that were 
before the temple, || all which he pulled off. 

23 He took alfo the filver and the gold, and the f prec- 
ious veffels : alfo he took the hidden treafures which he 
found. 

24 And when he had taken all away, he went into his 
own land, having made a great maffacre, and fpoken very 
proudly. 

25 Therefore there was great mourning in Ifrael, in 
every place where they were ; 

26 So that the princes and elders mourned, the virgins 
and young men were made feeble, and the beauty of wo- 
men was changed.

pofTefled the cattle. 

33 Then builded they the city of David with a great 
and ftrong wall, and with mighty towers, and made it a 
ftrong hold for them. 

34 And they put therein a finful nation, wicked men, 
and fortified them/elves therein. 

35 They ftored it alfo with armour and victuals ; and 
when they had gathered together the fpoils of Jerufalem, 
they laid them up there, and fo they became a fore fnare : 

36 For it was a place to lie in wait againft the fancluary, 
and an evil adverfary to Ifrael. 

^37 Thus they fhed innocent blood on every fide of the 
fan&uary, and defiled it : 

38 Infomuch that the inhabitants of Jerufalem fled be- 
caufe of them : whereupon the city was made an habita- 
tion of ftrangers, and became ftrange to thofe that were 
born in her ; and her own children left her. 

39 Her fandluary was laid wafte like a wildernefs, her 
feafts were turned into mourning, her fabbaths into re-

40 As had been her glory, fo was her difhonour increas-

42 And every one fhould leave his laws : fo all the hea- 
then agreed, according to the commandment of the king. 

43 Yea, many alfo of the Ifraelites confented to his relig-

44 For the king had fent letters by mefTengers unto 
Jerufalem, and the cities of Juda, that they fhould (| fol- 
low the ftrange laws of the land. 

45 And forbid burnt offerings, and facrifice, and drink 
offerings, in the temple ; and that they fhould profane the 
fabbaths and feftival days : 

46 And pollute the fanftuary and holy people : 

47 Set up altars, and groves, and chapels of idols ; and 
facrifice fwine's flefh, and unclean beafts : 

48 That they fliould alfo leave their children uncir- 
cumcifed, and make their fouls abominable with all man- 
ner of uncleannefs and profanation ; 

49 To the end they might forget the law, and change 
all the ordinances. 

50 And whofoever would not do according to the com- 
mandment of the king, he /aid, he fliould die. 

51 In the felf fame manner wrote he to his whole king- 
dom, and appointed overfeers over all the people, com- 
manding the cities of Juda, to facrifice, city by city. 

5 2 Then many of the people were gathered unto them, 
to wit, every one that forfook the law ; and fo they com- 
mitted evils in the land ; 

5 3 || And drove the Ifraelites into fecret places, even 
wherefoever they could flee for fuccour. 

54 Now, the fifteenth day of the month Cafleu, in the 
hundred forty and fifth year, they fet up the abomination 
ofdefolationupon the altar, and builded idol altars through- 
out the cities of Juda on every fide ; 

5 5 And burnt incenfe at the doors of their houfes, and 
in the ftreets. 

56 And when they had rent in pieces the books of the 
law which they found, they burnt them with fire. 

. 57 And wherefoever was found with any the book of 
the teftament, or if any confented to the law, f the king's 
commandment was, that they fhould put him to death. 

58 Thus did they, by their authority, unto the Ifrael-

Mattathias difobeys the king's orders. 
ites every month, to as many as were found in the cities. 

59 Now, the five and twentieth day of the month they 
did facrifice upon the idol altar, which was upon the altar 
of God : 

60 At which time, according to the commandment, they 
put to death certain women f that had caufed their children 
to be circumcifed. 

^ 61 And they hanged the infants about their necks, and 
rifled their houfes, and flew them that had circumcifed 
them. 

62 Howbeit, many in Ifrael were fully refolved, and 
confirmed in themfelves, not to- eat any unclean thin <*. 

63 Wherefore they chofe rather to die, that they might 
not be defiled with meats, and that they might not pro- 
fane the holy covenant : fo then they died. 

64 And there was very great wrath upon Ifrael.

refufeth to forfake his religion at the king's command-

IN thofe days || arofe Mattathias the/on of John, the fen 
of Simeon, a prieft of the fons of Joarib, from Jeru-

4 Judas, who was called Maccabeus : 

5 Eleazar, called || Avaran : and Jonathan, whofe fur- 
name was Apphus. 

6 And when he faw the blafphemies that were com-

this mifery of my people, and of the holy city, and to 
dwell there, when it was delivered into the hand of the

13 To what end therefore fhall we live any longer ? 

14 Then Mattathias and his fons rent their clothes, and 
put on fackcloth, and mourned very fore. 

.15 In the mean while, the king's officers, fuch as com- 
pelled the people to revolt, came into the city Modin, to 
make them facrifice. 

1 6 And when many of Ifrael came unto them, Matta- 
thias alfo and his fons came together. 

1 7 Then anfwered the king's officers, and faid to Mat- 
tathias on this wife, Thou art a ruler, and an honourable 
and great man in this city, and ftrengthened with fons and 
brethren : 

1 8 Now, therefore, come thou firft, and fulfil the king's

the men of Juda alfo, and fuch as remain at Jerufalem : 
fo fhalt thou and thy houfe be in the number of the king's 
friends, and thou and thy children fhall be honoured with 
filver and gold, and many rewards.

Mattathias a/failed on thefabbath. C H A 

dominion obey him, and fall away every one from the re- 
ligion of their fathers, and give confent to his command- 
*~*~v**">J ments ; 

20 Yet will I, and my fons, and my brethren, walk in 
the covenant of our fathers. 

21 God forbid that we fhould forfake the law and the 
ordinances. 

22 We will not hearken to the king's words, to go from 
our religion, either on the right hand or the left. 

23 Now, when he had left fpeaking thefe words, there 
came one of the Jews in the fight of all to facrifice on the 
•altar which was at Modin, according to the king's com- 
mandment : 

24 Which thing when Mattathias faw, he was inflam- 
ed with zeal, and his reins trembled, neither could he 
forbear to fhew his anger according to judgment : where- 
fore he ran, and flew him upon the altar. 

25 Aifo the king's commiflioner, who compelled men 
to facrifice, he killed at that time, and the altar he pulled 
down. 

26 Thus dealt he zealoufly for the law of God, like as 
bHb»i>.257. a Phinees did unto Zambri the fon of Salom. 

27 And Mattathias cried throughout the city with a 
loud voice, faying, Whofoever is zealous of the law, and 
maintaineth the covenant, let him follow me. 

28 So he and his fons fled into the mountains, and left 
all that ever they had in the city. 

29 Then many, that fought after juftice and judgment, 
went down into the wildernefs, to f dwell there : 

30 Both they, and their children, and their wives, and 
their cattle ; becaufe f afflictions increafed fore upon them. 

3 1 Now, when it was told the king's Fervants, and the 
hoft that was at Jerufalem in the city of David, that cer- 
tain men, who had broken the king's commandment, were 
gone down into the fecret places in the wildernefs, 

32 They purfued after them a great number ; and, hav- 
ing overtaken them, they camped againft them, and made 
war againft them on the fabbath day. 

33 And they faid unto them, Let that which ye have 
done hitherto fuffice ; come forth, and do according to 
the commandment of the king, and ye fhall live. 

34 But they faid, We will not come forth, neither will 
we .do the king's commandment to profane the fabbath 
day. 

35 So then they gave || them the battle with all fpeed. 

36 Howbeit, they anfwered them not, neither caft they 
a ftone at them, nor flopped the places where they lay 
hid ; 

37 But faid, Let us die all in our f innocency ; heaven 
and earth fhall teftify for us, that ye put us to death 
wrongfully. 

38 So they rofe up againft them in battle on the fab* 
bath, and they flew them, with their wives and children, 
and their cattle, to the number of a thoufand f people. 

39 Now, when Mattathias and his friends underftood 
thereof, they mourned for them right fore. 

40 And one of them faid to another, If we all do as 
our brethren have done, and fight not for our lives and 
laws againft the heathen, they will now quickly root us 
out of the earth. 

41 At that time, therefore, they decreed, faying, Who- 
foever fhall come to make battle with us on the fabbath- 
day, we will fight againft him ; neither will we die all as 
our brethren that were murdered in the fecret places. 

42 Then came there unto him a company of Affideans, 



P. II. He injlrufteth his font, and 

who were mighty men of Ifrael, even all fuch as were 
voluntarily devoted unto the law. 

43 Alfo all they that fled for perfecution joined them- 
felves unto them, and were a ftay unto them. 

44 So they joined their forces, and fmote finful men in 
their anger, and wicked men in their wrath : but the reft 
fled to the heathen for fuccour. 

45 Then Mattathias and his friends went round about, 
and pulled down the altars : 

46 And what children foever they found within the 
coaft of Ifrael uncircumcifed, thofe they circumcifed 
|| valiantly. 

47 They purfuedalfo after the proud men, and the work 
profpered in their hand. 

48 So they recovered the law out of the hand of the 
Gentiles, and out of the hand of kings, neither f fuffered 
they the finner to triumph. 

49 Now, when the time drew near that Mattathias 
fhould die, he faid unto his fons, Now hath pride and 
rebuke gotten ftrength, and the time of destruction, and 
the wrath of indignation : 

50 Now, therefore, my fons, be ye zealous for the 
law, and give your lives for the covenant of your fathers. 

5 1 Call to remembrance what acT:s our fathers did in 
their f time •, fo fhall ye receive great honour, and an 
everlafting name. 

5 2 b Was not Abraham found faithful in temptation, and 
it was imputed unto him for righteoufnefs ? 

53 c Jofeph, in the time of his diftrefs, kept the com- 
mandment, and was made lord of Egypt. 

54 cl Phinees our father, in being zealous and fervent, 
obtained the covenant of an everlafting priefthood. 

55 e Jefus, for fulfilling the word, was made ajudqe in 
Ifrael. 

56 f Caleb, for bearing witnefs before the congrega- 
tion, received the heritage of the land. 

57 s David, for being merciful, pofTefled the throne -of 
an everlafting kingdom. 

58 h Elias, for being zealous and fervent for the law, 
was taken up into heaven. 

59 ' Ananias, Azarias, and Mifael, by believing, were 
faved out of the flame. 

60 k Daniel, for his innocency, was delivered from the 
mouth of lions. 

61 And thus confider ye throughout all ages, that none 
that put their truft in him fhall be overcome. 

62 Fear not then the words of a finful man : for hij 
glory fhall be dung and worms. 

63 Today he fhall be lifted up, and tomorrow he fhall 
not be found, becaufe he is ' returned into his duft, and 
his thought is come to nothing. 

64 Wherefore, ye my fons, be valiant, and fhew your- 
felves men in the behalf of the law ; for by it fhall ye ob- 
tain glory. 

65 And, behold, I know that your brother Simon is a 
man of counfel, give ear unto him alway : he fhall be a 
father unto you. 

66 As for Judas Maccabeus, he hath been mighty and 
ftrong, even from his youth up : let him be your captain, 
and || fight the battle of the people. 

67 Take alfo unto you all thofe that obfervethe law, 
and avenge ye the wrong of your people. 

68 Recompenfe fully the heathen, and take heed to the 
commandments of the law. 

69 So he blefled them, and was gathered to his fathers,

CHAP. III. 

The valour and fame of Judas Maccabeus, CSV. 

THEN his fon Judas, called Maccabeus, rofe up in 
his ftead. 

2 And all his brethren helped him, and fo did all they 
that held with his father, and they fought with cheerful- 
nefs the battle of Ifrael. 

3 So he gat his people great honour,and put on a breaft- 
plate as a giant, and girt his warlike harnefs about him, 
and he made battles, protecting the hoft with his fword. 

4 In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp, 
roaring for his prey. 

5 For he purfued the wicked, and fought them out, 
and burnt up thofe that vexed his people. 

6 Wherefore the wicked fhrunk for fear of him, and 
all the workers of iniquity were troubled, becaufe falva- 
tion profpered in his hand. 

7 He grieved alfo many kings, and made Jacob glad 
with his acts, and his memorial is bleffed for ever. 

8 Moreover, he went through the cities of Juda, de- 
ftroying the ungodly out of them, and turning away wrath 
from Ifrael : 

9 So that he was renowned unto the utmoft part of 
t Gr. gather- the earth, and he f received unto him fuch as were ready 

edt^tlur. tpperifh< 

i o Then Apollonius gathered the Gentiles together, 
and a great hoft out of Samaria, to fight againft Ifrael. 

1 1 Which thing when Judas perceived, he went forth 
to meet him : and fo he fmote him, and flew him : many 
alfo fell down flain ; but the reft fled. 

1 2 Wherefore Judas took their fpoils, and Apollonius' 
fword alfo, and therewith he fought all his life long. 

13 Now when Seron, a prince of the army of Syria, 
heard fay that Judas had gathered unto him a multitude 
and company of the faithful to go out with him to war ; 

14 He faid, I will get me a name and honour in the 
kingdom ; for I will go fight with Judas, and them that 
are with him, who defpife the king's commandment. 

15 So he made him ready to go up, and there went 
with him a mighty hoft of the ungodly to help him, and 
to be avenged of the children of Ifrael. 

1 6 And when he came near to the going up of Beth- 
horon, Judas went forth to meet him with a fmall com- 
pany : 

1 7 Who, when they faw the hoft coming to meet 
them, faid unto Judas, How fhall we be able, being fo few, 
to fight againft fo great a multitude, andfo ftrong, feeing 
we are ready to faint with fafting all this day ? 

atsam. ii(>. 18 Unto whom Judas anfwered, a It is no hard matter 
2 ear. 14 n. £ or man y to kg £i lut U p j n the hands of a few ; and with 

the God of heaven, it is all one to deliver with a great mul- 
titude, or a fmall company : 

1 9 For the victory of battle ftandeth not in the multi- 
tude of an hoft ; but ftrength cometh from heaven. 
«or mtcM _ 20 They come || againft us f in much pride and iniquity 
Gr!in-mnl.i- to deftroy us, and our wives and children, and to fpoil 



tude of priie. 
or, in'.'y and US 

rr.tqv.lly. 



2 1 But we fight for our lives and our laws. 

22 Wherefore the Lord himfelf will overthrow them 
before our face : and, as for you, be ye not afraid of 
them. 



23 Now, as foon as he had left off fpeaking, he leapt 
fuddenly upon them ; and fo Seron and his hoft was 
overthrown before him. 

24 And they purfued them f from the going down of 
Bethhoron unto the plain, where were flain about eight 
hundred men of them ; and the refidue fled into the land 
of the Philiftines. 

25 Then began the fear of Judas and his brethren, and 
an exceeding great dread, to fail upon the nations round 
about them : 

26 Infomuch as his fame came unto the king, and all 
nations talked of the battles of Judas. 

27 Now, when king Antiochus heard thefe things, he 
was full of indignation : wherefore he fent and gathered 
together all the forces *of his realm, even a very ftrong 
army. 

28 He opened alfo his treafure, and gave his foldiers 
pay for a year, commanding them to be ready f whenfo- 
ever he fliould need them. 

29 Neverthelefs, when he faw that the money of his 
treafures failed, and f that the tributes in the country 
were fmall, becaufe of the diffenfion and plague which 
he had brought upon the land, || in taking away the laws 
which had been of old time •, 

30 He feared fthat he fhould not be able to bear the 
charges any longer, nor to have fuch gifts to give fo liber- 
ally as he did before : for he had abounded above the 
kings that were before him. 

3 1 Wherefore, being greatly perplexed in his mind, he 
determined to go into Perfia, there to take the tributes 
of the countries, and to gather much money. 

3 2 So he left Lyfias, a nobleman, and one of the blood 
royal, to overfee the affairs of the king, from the river 
Euphrates unto the borders of Egypt ; 

33 And to bring up his fon Antiochus, until he came 
again. 

34 Moreover, he delivered unto him the half of his 
forces, and the elephants, and gave him charge of all 
things that he would have done, as alfo concerning them 
that dwelt in Juda and Jerufalem ; 

35 To wit, that he fhould fend an army againft them, 
to deftroy and root out the ftrength of Ifrael, and the 
remnant of Jerufalem, and to take away their memorial 
from that place ; 

36 And that he fliould place ftrangers in all their quar- 
ters, and divide their land by lot. 

37 So the king took the half of the forces that remain- 
ed, and departed from Antioch f his royal city, the hun- 
dred forty and feventh year ; and, having palled the river 
Euphrates, he went through the high countries. 

38 Then Lyfias chofe Ptolemee the fon of Dorymenes, 
and Nicanor, and Gorgias, mighty men of the king's 
friends : 

39 And with them he fent forty thoufand footmen : 
and feven thoufand horfemen, to go into the land of Juda, 
and to deftroy it as the king commanded. 

40 So they went forth with all their power, and came 
and pitched by Emmaus, in the plain country. 

41 And the merchants of the country, hearing the fame 
of them, took filver and gold very much, with || fervants, 
and came into the camp to buy the children of Ifrael for 
flaves : a power alfo of Syria, and of the land || of the 
Philiftines joined themfelves unto them. 

42 Now, when Judas and his brethren faw that mifer-

43 They faid one to another, Let us reftore the decay- 
ed eftate of our people, and let us fight for our people, 
and the fanctuary. 

44 Then was the congregation gathered together, that 
theymight be ready for battle, and that they might pray, 
and afk mercy and compafiion. 

45 Now Jerufalem lay void as a wildernefs ; there was 
none of her children that went in or out ; the fanc- 
tuary alfo was trodden down, and aliens kept the ftrong 
hold ; the heathen had their habitation in that place •, 
and joy was taken from Jacob, and the pipe with the 
harp ceafed. 

' 46 Wherefore the Ifraelites afTembled themfelves to- 
iOr,-./;~^.gether, and came to || Mafpha, over againft Jerufalem : 
for in Mafpha was the place where they prayed aforetime 
in IfraeL 

47 Then they falted that day, and put on fackcloth, and 
caft afhes upon their heads, and rent their clothes, 

48 And laid open the book of the law, (| wherein the 
heathen had fought to paint the likenefs of their images. 

49 They brought alio the prieft's garments, and the 
'" . firft fruits, and the tithes : and the b Nazarites they ftirred

faying, What fhall we do with thefe, and whither fhall we 
carry them away ? 

5 1 For thy fanctuary is trodden down and profaned, 
and thy priefts are in heavinefs, and brought low. 

52 And lo, the heathen are affembled together againft 
us to deftroy us : what things they imagine againft us thou 
knoweft. 

53 How fhall we be able to ftand againft them, except 
thou, God, be our help ? 

54 Then founded they with trumpets, and cried with 
a loud voice. 

55 And after this Judas ordained captains over the 
people, even captains over thoufands, and over hundreds, 
and over fifties, and over tens. 

c Dew. 205. 56 But as for fuch as c were building houfes, or had be- 
djuU,;e?7 3- trothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or d were fear- 
ful, thofe he commanded that they fhould return every 
man to his own houfe, according to the law. 

57 So the camp removed, and pitched upon the fouth 
fide of Emmaus. 

58 And Judas faid, Arm yourfelves, and be valiant 
men, and fee that ye be in readinefs againft the morning, 
that ye may fight with thefe nations that are affembled to- 
gether againft us, to deftroy us and our fanctuary : 

59 For it is better for us to die in battle than to be- 
hold the calamities of our people and our fanctuary. 

60 Neverthelefs, as the will of God is in heaven, fo let 
him do. 

CHAP. IV.

THEN took Gorgias five thoufand footmen, and a 
thoufand of the beft horfemen, and removed out of 
the camp by night. 

2 To the end he might rufh in upon the camp of the 
Jews, and finite them fuddenly. And the men of the for- 
trefs were his guides. 

3 Now, when Judas heard thereof, he himfelf removed,

P. IV. and fpoileth the tents, & c . 

and the valiant men with him, that he might finite the 
king's army which was at Emmaus, 

4 AVhile as yet the forces were dilperfed from the camp. 

5 In the mean feafon came Gorgias by night into the 
camp of Judas ; and when he found no man there, he 
fought them in the mountains : for, faid he, Thefe fel- 
lows flee from us. 

6 But, as foon as it was day, Judas fhewed himfelf in 
the plain with three thoufand men, who, neverthelefs, 
had neither [| armour nor fwords to their minds. 

7 And they faw the camp of the heathen, that it was 
ftrong, and well harneffed, and compaffed round about 
with horfemen ; and thefe were expert of war. 

8 Then faid Judas to the men that were with him, Fear 
ye not their multitude, neither be ye afraid of their affault. 

9 Remember how our fathers were delivered in the 
Red Sea, when Pharaoh purfued them with an army. 

10 Now, therefore, let us cry unto heaven, if perad- 
venture the Lord will have mercy upon us, and remem- 
ber the covenant of our fathers, and deftroy this holt be- 
fore our face this day : 

1 1 That fo all the heathen may know that there is one 
who delivereth and faveth Ifrael. 

1 2 Then the ftrangers lifted up their eyes and faw them 
coming over againft them. 

13 Wherefore they went out of the camp to battle ; but 
they that were with Judas founded their trumpets. 

14 So they joined battle, and the heathen, being difcom- 
fited, fled into the plain. 

15 Howbeit, all the hindmoft of them were fiain with 
the l'word ; for theypurfued them unto f Gazera, and unto 
the plains of Idumea, and Azotus, and Jamnia •, fo that 
there were fiain of them about three thoufand men. 

16 This done, Judas returned again with his hoft from 
purfuing them, 

17 And faid to the people, Be not greedy of the fpoils, 
inafmuch as there is a battle before us ; 

1 8 And Gorgias and his hoft are here by us inthe moun- 
tain : but ftand ye now againft our enemies, and overcome 
them, and after this ye may boldly take the fpoils. 

19 As Judas was yet fpeaking thefe words, there ap- 
peared a part of them looking out of the mountain ; 

20 Who, when they perceived that the Jews had put 
their hoft to flight, and were burning the tents ; (for the 
fmoke that was feen declared what was done ;) 

21 When, therefore, they perceived thefe things, they 
were fore afraid ; and feeing alio the hoft of Judas in the 
plain ready to fight, 

22 They fled every one into the land of ftrangers. 

23 Then Judas returned to fpoil the tents, where they 
got much gold, and filver, and blue lilk, and purple of the 
lea, and great riches. 

24 After this they went home, and fung a fong of 
thankfgiving, and praifed the Lord in heaven ; becaufe it 
is good, becaufe his mercy endureth for ever. 

25 Thus Ifrael had a great deliverance that day. 
16 Now, all the ftrangers that had efcaped came and 

told Lyfus what had happened : 

27 Who, when he heard thereof, was confounded and 
difcouraged, becaufe neither fuch tilings as he would were 
done unto Ifrael, nor fuch things as the king commanded 
him were come to pafs. 

28 The next year therefore following, Lyfias gathered 
together threefcore thoufand choice men of fact, and live 

j thoufand horfemen, that he might fubdue them.

CHRIST 2 9 S° t ^ ie J r came mto Idumea, and pitched their tents 

eir. 165. at Bethfura; and Judas met them with ten thoufand men. 

30 And when he faw that mighty army, he prayed, and 

a 1 Sam. 17 faid, BlefTed art thou, O Saviour of Ifrael, a who didft 

quell the violence of the mighty man by the hand of thy 

II or, phiiht- fervant David, and gaveft the hoft of f] ftranpers into the 

b i sam. .4 hands of h Jonathan the fon of Saul, and his armourbearer ; 

3 1 Shut up this army in the hand of thy people Ifrael, 

and let them be confounded in their power and horfemen : 

32 Make them to be of no courage, and caufe the bold- 
nefs of their ftrength to f fall away, and let them quake at 
their deftrudlion : 

33 Caft them down with the fword of them that love 
thee, and let all thofe that know thy name praife thee with 
thankfgiving. 

34 So they joined battle ; and there were flain of the 
hoft of Lyiias about five thoufand men, even before them 
were they flain. 

35 Now, when Lyfias faw his army put to flight, and 
the manlinefs of Judas' foldiers, and how they were ready 
either to live or die valiantly, he went into Antiochia, and 
gathered together a company of ftrangers; and having made 
his army greater than it was, he purpofed to come again 
into Judea. 

36 Then laid. Judas and his brethren, Behold, our en- 
If or, repair. emies are difcomfited ; let us go up to cleanfe and || dedi- 
cate the fancluary. 

3 7 Upon this all the hoft affembled themfelves together, 
and went up into mount Sion. 

38 And when they faw the fancluary defolate, and the 
altar profaned,and the gates burnt up, and fhrubs growing 
in the courts as in a foreft, or in one of the mountains, 
yea, and the priefts' chambers pulled down ; 

39 They rent their clothes, and made great lamentation, 
and caft afhes upon their heads, 

40 And fell down flat to thegroundupon theirfaces, and 
blew an alarm with thetrumpets, and cried toward heaven. 

4 1 Then Judas appointed certain men to fight againft 
thofe that were in the fortrefs, until he had cleanfed the 
fancluary. 

42 So he chofe priefts of blamelefs converfation, fuch 
as had pleafure in the law ; 

43 Who cleanfed the fancluary, and bare out the de- 
filed ftones into an unclean place. 

44 And when as they confulted what to do with the altar 
of burnt offerings, which was profaned, 

45 They thought it beft to pull it down, left it fhould 
be a reproach to them, becaufe the heathen had defiled it ; 
wherefore they pulled it down, 

46 And laid up the ftones in the mountain of the tem- 
ple in a convenient place, until there fhould come a pro- 
phet to fhew what fhould be done with them. 

47 Then they took whck ftones According to the law, 
and built a new altar according to the former ; 

48 And made up the fancluary, and the things that were 
within the temple, and hallowed the courts. 

49 They made alfo new holy veffels •, and into the 
temple they brought the candleftick, and the altar of burnt 
offerings, and of incenfe, and the table. 

50 And upon the altar they burnt incenfe, and the 
lamps that were upon the candleftick they lighted, that 
they might give light in the temple.

morning, 

53 And offered facrifice, according to the law, upon 
the new altar of burnt offerings which they had made. 

54 Look at what time, and what day, the heathen had 
profaned it, even in that was it dedicated with fongs, and 
citherns, and harps, and cymbals-. 

5 5 Then all the people fell upon their faces, worfhip- 
ping and praifing the God of heaven, who had given them 
good fuccefs. 

56 And fo they kept the dedication of the altar eight 
days, and offered burnt offerings with gladnefs, and fac- 
rificed the facrifice of || deliverance and praife. 

57 They decked alfo the fore front of the temple with 
crowns of gold, and with fhields : and the gates and the 
chambers they || renewed, and || hanged doors upon them. 

58 Thus was there very great gladnefs among the peo>- 
ple, for that the reproach of the heathen was put away. 

59 Moreover, Judas and his brethren, with the whole 
congregation of Ifrael, ordained that the days of the ded- 
ication of the altar fhould be kept in their feafon from 
year to year, by the fpace of eight days, from the five and 
twentieth day ofthe month Cafleu, with mirth and gladnefs. 

60 At that time alfo they builded up the mount Sion 
with high walls, and ftrong towers round about, left the 
Gentiles fhould come and tread it down, as they had done 
before. 

61 And they fet there a garrifon to keep it, and forti-. 
fied Bethfura to preferve it ; that the people might have a

it difpleafed them very much. 

2 Wherefore they thought to deftroy the generation of 
Jacob that was among them, and thereupon they began to 
flay and deftroy the people. 

3 Then Judas fought againft the children of Efau in 
Idumea at || Arabattine, becaufe they befieged Ifrael •, and 
he <r a ve them a great overthrow, and abated their cour-

The exploits of Judas Maccabeus C H A 

heathen that are round about us are affembled together 
againft us to deftroy us : 

1 1 And they are preparing to come and take the for- 
trefs whereunto we are fled, Timotheus being captain 
of their hoft. 

12 Come now, therefore, and deliver us from their 
hands ; for many of us are flain ; 

1 3 Yea, all our brethren that were in the places of 
I or, 2*Jnr. || Tobie are put to death ; their wives and their children 

alfo they have carried away captives, and borne away their 
fluff; and they have deftroyed there about a thoufandmen. 

14 While thefe letters were yet reading, behold, there 
came other meflengers from Galilee with their clothes 
rent, who reported on this wife, 

1 5 And raid, They of Ptolemais, and of Tyrus, and 
Sidon, and all Galilee of the Gentiles, are affembled to- 
gether againft us, to confume us. 

1 6 Now, when Judas and the people heard thefe words, 
there affembled a great congregation together, to confult 
what they fliould do for their brethren that were in trou- 
ble, and afTaulted of them. 

17 Then faid Judas unto Simon his brother, Choofe 
thee out men, and go and deliver thy brethren that are 
in Galilee, for I and Jonathan my brother will go into the 
country of Galaad. 

18 So he left Jofeph the [on of Zacharias, and Azari- 
as, captains of the people, with the remnant of the hoft, 
in Judea to keep it : 

19 Unto whom he gave commandment, faying, Take 
ye the charge of this people, and fee that ye make not war 
againft the heathen until the time that we come again. 

20 Now unto Simon were given three thoufand men 
to go into Galilee, and unto Judas eight thoufand men 
for the country of Galaad. 

21 Then went Simon into Galilee, where he fought 
many battles with the heathen, fo that the heathen were 
difcomfited by him. 

22 And he purfued them unto the gate of Ptolemais ; 
and there were flain of the heathen about three thoufand 
men, whofe fpoils he took. 

23 And || thofe that were in Galilee, and in Arbattis, 
with their wives and their children, and all that they had, 
took he away ivith him, and brought them into Judea with 
great joy. 

24 Judas Maccabeus alfo, and his brother Jonathan 
went over Jordan, and travelled three day's journey in 
the wildernefs ; 

25 Where they met with the Nabathites, who came 
unto them in peaceable manner, and told them every 
thing that had happened to their brethren in the land of 
Galaad •, 

16 And how that many of them were fiiut up in || Bo- 
1 6r, chaw, fora, and Bofor, and Alema, || Cafphor, Maked, and Car- 
naim ; (all theie cities are itrong and great ;) 

27 And that they were fhut up in the reft of the cities 
of the country of Galaad, and that againft tomorrow 
|| they had appointed to bring their hoft againft the forts, 
and to take them, and to deftroy them all in one day. 

28 Hereupon Judas and his hoft turned fuddenly by 
1 or, Bosor. the way of the wildernefs unto || Bofora ; and when he 

had won the city, he flew all the males with the edge of 
the fword, and took all their fpoils, and burnt the city 
with fire. 

29 From whence he removed by night, and went till 
he came to the fortrefs. 




P. V. againft Timotheus in Galaad. 

30 And betimes in the morning they f looked up, and, 
behold, there was an innumerable people bearing ladders ' 
and other engines of war to take the fortrefs •, for || they 
affaulted them. 

3 1 When Judas, therefore, faw that the battle was be- 
gun, and that the cry of the city went up to heaven with 
trumpets, and a great found. 

32 He faid unto his hoft, Fight this day for your 
brethren. 

33 So he went forth behind them in three companies, 
who founded their trumpets, and cried with prayer. 

34 Then the hoft of Timotheus, knowing that it was 
Maccabeus, fled from him : wherefore he fmote there- 
with a great flaughter ; fo that there were killed of them- 
that day about eight thoufand men. 

35 This done, Judas turned afide to Mafpha ; and after 
he had afTaulted it, he took it, and flew all the males there- 
in, and received the fpoils thereof, and burnt it with fire. 

36 From thence went he, and took Cafphon, Maged 
Bofor, and the other cities of the country of Galaad. 

37 After thefe things gathered Timotheus anotherhoft* 
and encamped againft Raphon beyond the brook. 

38 So Judas fent men to efpy the hoft, who brought 
him word, faying, All the heathen that be round about 
us are affembled unto them, even a very great hoft. 

39 He hath alfo hired the Arabians to help them, and 
they have pitched their tents beyond the brook, ready to 
come, and fight againft thee. Upon this Judas went to 
meet them. 

40 Then Timotheus faid unto the captains of his hoft, 
When Judas and his hoft come near the brook, if he pals 
over firft unto us, we fhall not be able to withftand him ;■ 
for he will mightily prevail againft us : 

41 But if he be afraid, and camp beyond the river, we 
fhall go over unto him, and prevail againft him. 

42 Now, when Judas came near the brook, he caufed 
the fcribes of the people to remain by the brook ; unto 
whom he gave commandment, faying, Suffer no man to 
remain in the camp, but let all come to the battle. 

43 So he went firft over unto them, and all the people 
after him : then all the heathen, being difcomfited before 
him, caft away their weapons, and fled unto the temple: 
that was at Carnaim. 

44 But || they took the city, and burnt the temple with 
all that were therein. Thus was Carnaim fubdued, nei- 
ther could they ftand any longer before Judas. 

45 Then Judas gathered together all the Ifraelites that 
were in the country of Galaad, from the leaft unto the 
greateft, even their wives, and their children, and their 
ftufF, a very great hoft, to the end they might come into 
the land of Judea. 

46 Now, when they came unto Ephron, (this was a 
great city in the way as they fhoukl go, very well fortifi- 
ed,) they could not turn from it, either on the right hand 
or the left, but muft needs pafs through the midft of it. 

47 Then they of the city fhut them out, and flopped 
up the gates with ftones. 

48 Whereupon Judas fent unto them in peaceable man- 
ner, faying, Let us pafs through your land to go into our 
own country, and none fhall do you any hurt ; we will 
only pafs through on foot : howbeit, they would not open 
unto him. 

. 49 Wherefore Judas commanded a proclamation to be 
made thoughout the hoft, that every man fliould pitch 
his tent in the place where he was. 

50 So

the land of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee be- 
fore Ptolemais, 

56 Jofeph the/on of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains 
of the garrifons, heard of the valiant afts and warlike 
deeds which they had done. 

57 Wherefore they faid, Let us alfo get us a name, 
and go fight againft the heathen that are round about us. 

58 So, when they had given charge unto the garri- 
fon that was with them, they went towards Jamnia. 

+ Gr. to m'et S9 Then came Gorgias and his men out of the city f to 

them in bat* £ ght aga ; n ft t h em . 

60 And fo it was, that Jofeph and Azarias were put 
to flight, and purfued unto the borders of Judea : and 
there were flain that day of the people of Ifrael about two 
thoufand men. 

61 Thus was there a great overthrow among the chil- 
dren of Ifrael, becaufe they were not obedient unto Judas 
and his brethren, but thought to do fome valiant aft. 

61 Moreover, thefe men came not of the feed of thofe 
by whofe hand deliverance was given unto Ifrael. 

63 Howbeit, the man Judas and his brethren were great- 
ly renowned in the fight of all Ifrael, and of all the hea- 
then, wherefoever their name was heard of : 

64 Infomuch as the people aflemblcd unto them with 
joyful acclamations. 

65 Afterward went Judas forth with his brethren, and 
fought againft the children of Efau in the land toward the

67 At that time certain priefts, defirous to fhew their 
valour, were flain in battle ; for that they went out to 
fight unadvifedly. 

68 So Judas turned to Azotus in the land of the Phi- 
liftines ; and when he had pulled down their altars, and 
burnt their carved images with fire, and fpoiled their 
cities, he returned into the land of Judea.

BOUT that time king Antiochus, travelling through

3 Wherefore he came, and fought to take the city, and cir. ,6 4 . 
to fpoil it ; but he was not able, becaufe they of the city, ( - , "V sa ' 
having had warning thereof, 

4 Rofe up againft him in battle : fo he fled, and depart- 
ed thence, with great heavinefs, and returned to Babylon. 

5 Moreover, there came one who brought him tidings 
into Perfia, that the armies which went againft the land 
of Judea were put to flight : 

6 And that Lyfias, who went forth firft with a great 
power, was driven away of the Jews ; and that they were 
made ftrong by the armour, and power, and ftore of 
fpoils, which they had gotten of the armies whom they 
had deftroyed : 

7 Alfo that they had pulled down the abomination 
which he had fet up upon the altar in Jerufalem, and that 
they had compaffed about the fanftuary with high walls, 
as before, and his city Bethfura. 

8 Now, when the king heard thefe words, he was afton- 
ifhed, and fore moved : whereupon he laid him down 
upon his bed, and fell fick for grief, becaufe it had not 
befallen him as he looked for. 

9 And there he continued many days : for his grief was 
ever more and more, and he made account that he fhoulddie. 

I o Wherefore he called for all his friends, and faid un- 
to them, The fleep is gone from mine eyes, and my heart 
faileth for very care. 

I I And I thought with myfelf, Into what tribulation 
am I come, and how great a flood of mifery is it wherein 
now I am ! for I was bountiful, and beloved in my power. 

12 But now I remember the evils that I did at Jerufa- 
lem, and that I took all the veflels of gold and filver that 
were therein, and fent to deftroy the inhabitants of Judea 
without a caufe. 

1 3 I perceive, therefore, that for this caufe thefe trou- 
bles are come upon me, and, behold, I perilh through 
great grief in a ftrange land. 

14 Then called he for Philip, one of his friends, whom 
he made ruler over all his realm,

16 So king Antiochus died there in the hundred forty Zlmlo 
and ninth year. '"'"• 

1 7 Now when Lyfias knew that the king was dead, 
he fet up Antiochus his fon, whom he had brought up, 
being young, to reign in his ftead, and his name he called 
Eupator. 

18 About this time they that were in the tower fhut ifij, 
up the Ifraelites round about the fanftuary, and fought 
always their hurt, and the ftrengthening of the heathen. 

19 Wherefore Judas, purpofing to deftroy them, called 
all the people together to befiege them. 

20 So they came together, and befieged them in the 
hundred and fiftieth year, and he made mounts for fhot 
againft them, and other engines. 

21 Howbeit, certain of them that were befieged got 
forth, unto whom fome ungodly men of Ifrael joined 
themfelves ; 

22 And they went unto the king, and faid, How long 
will it be ere thou execute judgment, and avenge our 
brethren ? 

23 We have been willing to ferve thy father, and to do 
! as he would have us, and to obey his commandments;

25 Neither have they ftretched out their hand againft 
us only, but alfo againft all their borders. 

26 And, behold, this day are they befieging the tower 
at Jerufalem, to take it : the fanctuary alfo and Bethfura 
have they fortified. 

27 Wherefore, if thou doft not prevent them quickly, 
they will do greater things than thefe, .neither lhalt thou be 
able to rule them. 

28 Now, when the king heard this, he was angry, and 
gathered together all his friends, and the captains of his 
army, and thofe that had charge of the horfe. 

29 There came alfo unto him from other kingdoms, and 
from ifles of the fea, bands of hired foldiers : 

30 So that the number of his army was an hundred 
thoufand footmeh, and twenty thoufand horfemen, and 
two and thirty elephants, exercifed in battle. 

31 Thefe went through Idumea, and pitched againft 
Bethfura, which they affaulted many days, making en- 
gines of war ; but they of Bethfura came out, and burnt 
them with fire, and fought valiantly. 

32 Upon this Judas removed from the tower, and 
pitched in Bathzacharias, over againft the king's camp. 

33 Then the king, rifing very early, marched fiercely 
with his hoft toward Bathzacharias, where his armies 
made them ready to battle, and founded the trumpets. 

34 And to the end they might provoke the elephants 
to fight, they fhewed them the blood of grapes and mul- 
berries. 

35 Moreover, they divided the beafts among the ar- 
mies, and for every elephant they appointed a thoufand 
men, armed with coats of mail, and with helmets of brafs 
on their heads ; and befides this, for every beaft were 
ordained five hundred horfemen of the beft. 

36 Thefe were ready at every occafion : wherefoever 
the beaft was, and whitherfoever the beaft went, they went 
alfo, neither departed they from him. 

37 And upon the beafts there were ftrong towers of 
wood, which covered every one of them, and were girt 
faft unto them with devices : there were alfo upon every 
one two and thirty ftrong men that fought upon them, 
befides the Indian that ruled him.

high mountains, and part on the vallies below, they 
marched on fafely, and in order. 

41 Wherefore all that heard the noife of their multi- 
tude, and the marching of the company, and the rattling 
of the harnefs, were moved ; for the army was very great 
and mighty. 

42 Then Judas and his hoft drew near, and entered in- 
to battle, and there were flain of the king's army fix hun-

of the beafts, armed with royal harnefs, was higher

45 Wherefore he ran upon him courageoufly through

the left, || fo that they were divided from him on both 
fides. 

46 Which done, he crept under the elephant, and 
thruft him under, and flew him ; whereupon the elephant 
fell down upon him, and there he died. 

47 Howbeit, the reji of the Jews, feeing the ftrength of 
the king, and the violence of his forces, turned away 
from them. 

48 Then the king's army went up to Jerufalem to meet

But with them that were in Bethfura he made

no victuals there to endure the fiege, it being a year of reft 
to the land. 

50 So the king took Bethfura, and fet a garrifon there 
to keep it. 

5 1 As for the fanctuary, he befieged it many days ; and 
|| fet there artillery with engines and inftruments to caft 
fire and ftones, and pieces to caft darts and flings. 

52 Whereupon || they alfo made engines againft their 
engines, and held them battle a long feafon. 

53 Yet at the laft, their veffels being without victuals, 
(for that it was the feventh year, and they in Judea, that 
were delivered from the Gentiles, had eaten up the refi- 
due of the ftore,) 

54 There were but a few left in the fanctuary, becaufe 
the famine did fo prevail againft them, that they were 
fain to difperfe themfelves, every man to his own 
place. 

55 At that time Lyfias heard fay, that Philip, whom 
Antiochus the king, whiles he lived, had appointed to 
bring up his fon Antiochus, that he might be king, 

56 Was returned out of Perfia and Media, and the 
king's hoft alfo that went with him, and that he fought to 
take unto him the ruling of the affairs ; 

57 Wherefore he went in all hafte, and faid to the king, 
and the captains of the hoft and the company, We decay 
daily, and our victuals are but fmall, and the place we lay 
fiege unto is ftrong, and the affairs of the kingdom lie 
upon us : 

58 Now, therefore, let us f be friends with thefe men, 
and make peace with them, and with all their nation ; 

59 And covenant with them, that they fhall live after 
their laws, as they did before : for they are therefore 
difpleafed, and have done all thefe things, becaufe we 
abolifhed their laws. 

60 So the king and the princes were content : where- 
fore he font unto them to make peace ; and they accept- 
ed thereof. 

61 Alfo the king and the princes made an oath unto 
them : whereupon they went out of the ftrong hold. 

62 Then the king entered into mount Sion ; but when 
he faw the ftrength of the place, he brake his oath that he 
had made, and gave commandment to pull down the wall 
round about. 

6$ Afterward departed he in all hafte, and returned un- 
to Antiochia, where he found Philip to be m after of the 
city : fo he fought againft him, and took the city by 
force.

G H A P. VII. 

Antiochus is fain, and Demttrius reigneth in his fead, ?5V. 

~ N the hundred and one and fiftieth year, Demetrius, 

the son of Seleucus, departed from Rome, and came 

up with a few men unto || a city of the fea coaft, and 

reigned there. 

2 And as he entered into the f palace of his anceftors, 
fo it was, that his forces had taken Antiochus and Lyfias, 
to bring them unto him. 

3 Wherefore, when he knew it, he faid, Let me not 
fee their faces. 

4 So his hoft flew them. Now, when Demetrius was 
fet upon the throne of his kingdom, 

5 There came unto him all the wicked and ungodly 
men of Ifrael, having Alcimus, who was defirous to be 
high prieft, for their captain : 

6 And they accufed the people to the king, faying, 
Judas and his brethren have flain all thy friends, and 
driven us out of our own land. 

7 Now, therefore, fend fome man whom thou trufteft, 
and let him go and fee what havock he hath made among 
us, and in the king's land, and let him punifh them, with 
all them that aid them. 

8 Then the king chofe Bacchides, a friend of the king, 
who ruled beyond the flood, and was a great man in the 
kingdom, and faithful to the king. 

9 And him he fent with that wicked Alcimus, whom 
he made high prieft, and commanded that he fhould take 
vengeance of the children of Ifrae!. 

I o So they departed, and came with a great power into 
the land of judea, where they fent mefiengers to Judas 
and his brethren with peaceable words deceitfully. 

I I But they gave no heed to their words : for they faw 
that they were come with a great power. 

12 Then did there aflemble unto Alcimus and Bac- 
U or, officers, chides a company of [| fcribes, to require juftice. 
chief men, or, 1 3 Now the Aflideans were the firft among the chil- 
T/Zit"."''' dren of Ifrael that fought peace of them : 

14 For, faid they, one that is a prieft of the feed of 
Aaron is come with this army, and he will do us no wrong. 

15 So he fpake unto them peaceably, and fware unto 
them, faying, We will procure the harm neither of you 
nor your friends. 

16 Whereupon they believed him : howbeit, he took of 
them threefcore men, and flew them in one day, accord- 
ing to the words which he wrote. 

1 7 a The flefh of thy faints have they caf cut, and their 
blood have they ihed round about Jerufalem, and there 
was none to bury them. 

1 8 Wherefore the fear and dread of them fell upon all 
the people, who faid, There is neither truth nor f right- 
eoufnefs in them ; for they have broken the covenant 
and oath that they made. 

19 After this removed Bacchides from Jerufalem, and 
pitched his tents in Bezeth, where he fent and took ma- 
ny of the men that had forfaken him, and certain of the 
people alfo ; and when he had flain them, he cast them 
into the great pit. 

20 Then committed he the country to Alcimus, and left 
with him a power toaidhim: fo Bacchides went to the king. 

2 1 But Alcimus || contended for the high priefthood. 

22 And unto him reforted all fuch as troubled the peo- 
ple, who, after they had gotten the land of Juda into 
their power, did much hurt in Ifrael.

and his company had done among the Ifraelites, even 
above the heathen, 

24 He went out into all the coafts of Judea round about, 
and took vengeance of them that had || revolted from him, 
fo that they durft no more f| go forth into the country. 

25 On the other fide, when Alcimus faw that Judas 
and his company || had gotten the upper hand, and knew 
that he was not able f to abide their force, he went again *£ rmu ' B ^ c °y 
to the king, and faid all the worft of them that he could. 

26 Then the king fent Nicanor, one of his honourable 
princes, a man that bare deadly hate unto Ifrael, with 
commandment to deftroy the people. 

27 So Nicanor came to Jerufalem with a great force ; 
and fent unto Judas and his brethren deceitfully, with 
f friendly words, faying, 

28 Let there be no battle between me and you ; I' will 
come with a few men, that I may f fee you in peace. 

29 He came therefore to Judas, and they faluted one 
another peaceably. Howbeit, the enemies were prepared 
to take away Judas by violence. 

30 Which thing after it was known to Judas, to ivit, 
that he came unto him with deceit, he was fore afraid of 
him, and would fee his face no more. 

3 1 Nicanor alfo, when he faw that his counfel was dis- 
covered, went out to f fight againft Judas befide || Ca- 
pharfalama ; 

32 Where there were flain of Nicanor's fide about five 
thoufand men, and the rest fled into the city of David. 

33 After this went Nicanor up to mount Sion, and there 
came out of the fanttuary certain of the priefts, and cer- 
tain of the elders of the people, to falutehim peaceably, and 
to fhew him the burnt facrifice that was offered for the king. 

34 But he mocked them, and laughed at them, and 
f abufed them fhamefully, and fpake proudly, 

35 And fware in his wrath, faying, Unlefs Judas and 
his hoft be now delivered into my hands, if ever I come 
again f in fafety, I will burn up this houfe : and with that 
he went out in a great rage. 

36 Then the priefts entered in, and ftood before the 
altar and the temple, weeping and faying, 

37 Thou, O Lord, didft choofe this houfe to be called 
by thy name, and to be a houfe of prayer and petition for 
thy people : 

3 8 Be avenged of this man and his hoft, and let them 
fall by the fword : remember their blafphemies, and fuf- 
fer them not to continue any longer. 

39 So Nicanor went out of Jerufalem, and pitched his 
tents in Bethhoron, where an hoft out of Syria met him. 

40 But Judas pitched in Adafa with three thoufand 
men, and there he prayed, faying, 

4 1 b Lord, when they that were fent from the king 
of the Aflyrians blafphemed, thine angel went out and 
fmcta an hundred fourfcore and five thoufand of them : 

42 Even fo deftroy thou this hoft before us this day, 
that the reft may know that he hath fpoken blafphemoufly 
againft thy fancluary, and judge thou him according to 
his wickednefs. 

43 So the thirteenth day of the month Adar, the hofts 
joined battle : but Nicanor's hoft was difcomfited, and he 
himfelf was firft flain in the battle. 

44 Now, when Nicanor's hoft faw that he was flain, 
they caft away their weapons, and fled. 

45 Then || they purfued after them a day's journey,

Judea round about, and clofed them in ; fo that they, 
turning back upon them that purfued them, were all flain 
with the fword, and not one of them was left. 

47 Afterward they took the fpoils, and the prey, and 
fmote off Nicanor's head, and his right hand, which he 
ftretched out fo proudly, and brought them away, and 
hanged them up toward Jerufalem. 

48 For this caufe the people rejoiced greatly, and they 
kept that day a day of great gladnefs. 

49 Moreover, they ordained to keep yearly this day, 
being the thirteenth of Adar. 

50 Thus the land of Juda was in reft a little while.

1 7 hefendeth ambaffadors, and maketh a league, tsfc. 

TOW Judas hadheardofthe fame of the Romans, that 

J they were mighty and valiant men, and fuch as would 

lovingly accept all that joined themfelves unto them, and 

make°a league of amity with all that came unto them ; 

2 And that they were men of great valour : it was told 
him alfo of their wars and noble acts which they had done 
among the || Galatians,and how they had conquered them, 

""''*' and brought them under tribute ; 

3 And what they had done in the country of Spain, for 
the winning of the mines of the filver and gold which is 

there ; 

4 And that, by their policy and patience, they had con- 
quered || all the place, though it were very far from them ; 

pla "' and the kings alfo that came againft them from the utter- 
moft part of the earth, till they had difcomfited them, 
and given them a great overthrow, fo that the reft did 
give them tribute every year ; 

5 Befide this, how they had difcomfitedin battle Philip, 
*'««- and Perfeus king of the || Citims, with others that lifted 

M " up themfelves againft them, and had overcome them. 

6 How alfo Antiochus the great king of Afia, that came 
againft them in battle, having an hundred and twenty ele- 
phants, with horfemen, and chariots, and a very great 
army, was difcomfited by them ; 

7 And how they took him alive, and covenanted that 
he, and fuch as reigned after him, fhould pay a great trib- 
ute, and give hoftages, and that which was agreed upon, 

8 And the country of India, and Media, and Lydia, 
arid of the goodlieft countries which they took of him, 
and gave to king Eumenes : 

9 Moreover, how the Grecians had determined to come 
and deftroy them ; 

I o And that they, having knowledge thereof, fent a- 
gainft them a certain captain, and fighting with them, flew 
many of them, and carried away captives their wives, and 
their children, and fpoiled them, and took pofleffion of 
their lands, and pulled down their ftrong holds, and 
brought them to be their fervants unto this day : 

I I It tuas told him, befides, how they deftroyed and 
'brought under their dominion all other kingdoms and ifles 
that at any time refifted them ; 

1 2 But with their friends, and fu^aas relied upon them, 
they kept amity : and that they had conquered kingdoms 
both far and nigh, infomuch as all that heard of their 
name were afraid of them : 

1 3 Alfo that, whom they would help to a kingdom, 
thofe reign ; and whom again they would, they difplace ; 
finally, that they were greatly exalted : 




VIII, IX. Romans, maketh a league with them. 

14 Yet for all this none of them wore a crown, or was 
clothed in purple, to be magnified thereby : 

15 Moreover, how they had made for themfelves a 
fenate houfe, wherein three hundred and twenty men fat 
in council daily, confulting alway for the people, to the 
end they might be well ordered : 

16 And that they committed their government to one 
man every year, who ruled over all their country, and 
that all were obedient to that one, and that there was nei- 
ther envy nor emulation among them. 

17 In confideration ofthefe things, Judas chofe Eupo- 
lemus the fon of John, the fan of Accos, and Jafon the 
fon of Eleazar, and fent them to Rome, to make a league 
of amity and confederacy with them ; 

1 8 And to entreat them, that they would take the yoke 
from them : for they faw that the kingdom of the Gre- 
cians did opprefs Ifrael with fervitude. 

19 They went therefore to Rome, (which was a very 
great journey,) and came into the fenate, where they 
fpake and faid, 

20 Judas Maccabeus, with his brethren, and the peo- 
ple of the Jews, have fent us unto you, to make a con- 
federacy and peace with you, and that we might be regif- 
tered your confederates and friends. 

21 So that matter pleafed the Romans well. 

22 And this is the copy of the epiftle which the fenate 
wrote back again in tables of brafs, and fent to Jerufalem, 
that there they might have by them a memorial of peace 
and confederacy : 

23 Good fuccefs be to the Romans, and to the people 
of the Jews, by fea and by land for ever : the fword alfo 
and enemy be far from them. 

24 If there come firft any war upon the Romans, or 
any of their confederates throughout all their dominion, 

25 The people of the Jews fhall help them, as the time 
fhall be appointed, with all their heart : 

26 Neither fhall they give any thing unto them that 
make war upon them, or aid them with victuals, weapons, 
money, or fhips, as it hath feemed good unto the Romans j 
but they fhall keep their covenants without taking any 
thing therefore. 

27 In the fame manner alfo, if war come firft upon the 
nation of the Jews, the Romans fhall help them with all 
their heart, according as the time fhall be appointed them: 

28 Neither fhall victuals be given to them that take 
part againft them, or weapons, or money, or fhips, as it 
hath feemed good to the Romans ; but they fhall keep 
their coveaants, and that without deceit. 

29 According to thefe articles did the Romans make 
a covenant with the people of the Jews. 

30 Howbeit, if hereafter the one party or the other 
fhall think meet to add or diminifh any thing, they may 
do it at their pleafures, and whatsoever they fhall add or 
take away fhall be ratified. 

3 1 And as touching the evils that Demetrius doeth to 
the Jews, We have written unto him, faying, Where- 
fore haft thou made thy yoke heavy upon our friends and 
confederates the Jews ? 

32 If therefore they complain any more againft thee, we 
will do them juftice, and fight with thee by fea and by land.

I OT,Gaiiha. Arbela, and after they had won it, they flew much people. 

3 Alfo the firft month of the hundred fifty and fecond 
year, they encamped before Jerufalem : 

4 From whence they removed, and went to |] Berea, 
with twenty thoufand footmen, and two thoufand horfe- 
men. 

5 Now Judas had pitched his tents at Eleafa, and three 
thoufand chofen men with him ; 

6 Who, feeing the multitude of the other army to be 
fo great, were fore afraid ; whereupon many conveyed 
themfelves out of the hoft, infomuch as there abode of 
them no more but eight hundred men. 

7 When Judas, therefore, faw that his hoft flipt away, 
md that the battle preffed upon him, he was fore troubled 
in mind, and much diftrefled, for that he had no time to 
gather them together. 

8 Neverthelefs, unto them that remained he faid, Let 
us ariie, and go up againft our enemies, if peradventure 
we may be able to fight with them. 

9 But they dehorted him, faying, We fhall never be

will return with our brethren, and fight againft them ; 
for we are but few.

1 2 As for Bacchides, he was in the right wing ; fo the 
hoft drewnear on the twoparts,and founded theirtrumpets. 

1 3 They alfo of Judas* fide, even they founded their 
trumpets alfo, fo that the earth fhook at the noife of the 
armies : and the battle continued from morning till night. 

14 Now, when Judas perceived that Bacchides and the 
ftrength of his army were on the right fide, he took with 
him all the hardy men, 

1 5 Who difcomfited the right wing, and purfued them 
unto the mount Azotus. 

1 6 But when they of the left wing faw that they of the 
right wing were difcomfited, they followed upon Judas, 
and thofe that were with him, hard at the heelsfrom behind: 

1 7 Whereupon there was a fore battle, infomuch as 
many were flam on both parts. 

1 8 Judas alfo was killed, and the remnant fled. 

1 9 Then Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, 
and buried him in the fepulchre of his fathers in Modin.

25 Then Bacchides chofe the wicked men, and made 
them lords of the countrv. 

26 And they made inquiry and fearch for Judas' 
friends, and brought them unto Bacchides, who took ven- 
geance of them, and f ufedthemdefpitefully. 

27 So was there a great affliction in Ifrael, the like 
whereof was not fince the time that a prophet was not feen 
among them. 

28 For this caufe all Judas' friends came together, and 
faid unto Jonathan, 

29 Since thy brother Judas died, we have no man like 
him to go forth againft our enemies, and Bacchides, and 
againft them of our nation that are adverfaries to us : 

30 Now, therefore, we have chofen thee this day to be 
our prince and captain in his ftead, that thou inayeft fight 
our battles. 

31 Upon this Jonathan took the governance upon him 
at that time, and rofe up inftead of his brother Judas. 

32 But when Bacchides gat knowledge thereof, he 
fought for to flay him. 

33. Then Jonathan, and Simon his brother, and all that 
were with him, perceiving that, fled into the wildernefs 
of Thecoe, and pitched their tents by the water of the 
pool Afphar. 

34 || Which when Bacchides underftood, he came near 
to Jordan with all his hoft upon the fabbath day. 

35 Now, Jonathan had fent his brother |] John, a cap- 
tain of the people, to pray his friends the Nabathites, f that 
they might leave with them their carriage, which was 
much. 

36 But the children off Jambri came out of Medaba, 
and took John, and alL that he had, and went their way 
with it. 

3.7 After this came word to Jonathan, and Simon his 
brother, that the children of Jambri made a great mar- 
riage, and were bringing the bride from || Nadabatha with 
a great train, as being the daughter of one of the great 
princes of Chanaan. 

38 Therefore they remembered John their brother, 
and went up, and hid themfelves under the covert of the 
mountain ; 

39 Where they lifted up their eyes, and looked, and, 
behold, there was much ado, and great carriage ; and the 
bridegroom came forth, and his friends and brethren, to 
meet them with || drums, and || inftruments of mufic, and 
many weapons. 

40 Then Jonathan, and they that were with him, rofe 
up againft them from the place where they lay in ambufh, 
and made a flaughter of them in fuch fort, as many fell 
down dead, and the remnant fled into the mountain, and 
they took all their fpoils. 

41 Thus was the marriage turned into mourning, and 
the noife of their melody into lamentation. 

42 So when they had avenged fully the blood of their 
brother, they turned again to the marfh of Jordan. 

43, Now, when Bacchides heard thereof, he came on 
the fabbath day unto 'the banks of Jordan with a great 
power. 

44 Then JonathaflP faid to his company, Let us go up 
now and fight for our lives ; for it ftandeth not with us

for hoftages, and put them into the tower at Jerufalem 
to be kept. 

q4 Moreover, in the hundred fifty and third year, in 
the fecond month, Alcimus commanded, that the wall of 
the inner court of the fanctuary fhould be pulled down ; 
he pulled down alfo the works of the prophets. 

55 And as he began to pull down, even at that time 
was Alcimus plagued, and his enterprifes hindered : for 
his mouth was flopped, and he was taken with a palfy, fo 
that he could no more fpeak any thing, nor give order 
concerning his houfe. 

56 So Alcimus died at that time with great torment. 

57 Now, when Bacchides faw that Alcimus was dead, 
he returned to the king : whereupon the land of Judea was 
in reft two years. 

58 Then all the ungodly men held a council, faying, 
Behold, Jonathan and his company are at eafe, and dwell 
without care : now, therefore, we will bring Bacchides 
hither, who fhall take them all in one night. 

59 So they went and confulted with him. 

60 Then removed he, and came with a great hoft, and 
fent letters privily to his adherents in Judea, that they 
fhould take Jonathan, and thofe that were with him : 
hovvbeit, they could not, becaufe their counfel was known 
unto them. 

61 Wherefore they took of the men of the country, 
that were authors of that mifchief, about fifty perfons, 
and flew them. 

62 Afterward Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were 
with him, got them away to Bethbafi, which is in the wil- 
dernefs, and they repaired the decays thereof, and made it 
ftrong. 

63 Which thing when Bacchides knew, he gathered 
together all his hoft, and fent word || to them that were 
of Judea. 

64 Then went he and laid fiege againft Bethbafi ; and 
they fought againft it a long feafon, and made engines 
of war. 

65 But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and 
went forth himfelf into the country, and with a certain 
number went he forth. 

66 And he fmote || Odonarkes and his brethren, and 
the children of Phaflrcn in their tent.

6cy Wherefore he was very wroth at the wicked men 
that gave him counfel to come into the country, infomuch 
as he flew many of them, and purpofed to return into his 
own country. 

70 Whereof when Jonathan had knowledge, he fent 
ambaffadors unto him, to the end he lhould make peace 
with him, and deliver them the prifoners. 

71 Which thing he accepted, asid did according to his 
demands, and fware unto him that he would never do him 
harm all the days of his life. 

72 When, therefore, he had reftored unto him the prif- 
oners that he had taken aforetime out of the land of Judea, 
he returned and went his way into his own land, neither 
f came he any more into their borders.

2 Demetrius maketh large offers to have peace ivith Jonathan : 

25 his letters to the Jews, &c. 

IN the hundred and fixtieth year, Alexander, || the fan 
of Antiochus, furnamed Epiphanes, went up and took 
Ptolemais : for the people had received him, by means 
whereof he reigned there. 

2 Now, when king Demetrius heard thereof, he gath- 
ered together an exceeding great hoft, and went forth 
againft him to fight- 

j Moreover, Demetrius fent letters unto Jonathan with 
loving words, fo a-s he magnified him. 

4 For, faid he, let us firft make peace with him, before 
he join with Alexander againft us : 

5 Elfe he will remember all the evils that we have done 
againft him, and againft his brethren and his people. 

6 Wherefore he gave him authority to gather together 
an hoft, and to provide weapons, that he might aid him 
in battle : he commanded alfo that the hoftages that were 
in the tower fhould be delivered him. 

7 Then came Jonathan to Jerufalem, and read the let- 
ters in the audience of all the people, and of them that 
were in the tower ; 

8 Who were fore afraid, when they heard that the king 
had given him authority to gather together an hoft. 

9 Whereupon they of the tower delivered their hoftages 
unto Jonathan, and he delivered them unto their parents. 

I o This done, Jonathan fettled himfelf in Jerufalem, 
and began to build and repair the city. 

I I And he commanded the workmen to build the walls,, 
and the mount Sion round about with fquare ftones for 
fortification; and they did fo. 

1 2 Then the ftrangers, that were in the fortreffes which 
Bacchides had built, rled away ; 

1 3 Infomuch as every man left his place, and went into> 
his own country. 

14 Only at Betlifura certain of thofe that had forfaken 
the law and the commandments remained ftill j for it was 
their place of refuge. 

15 Now when king Alexander had heard what promifes 
Demetrius had fent unto Jonathan : when alfo it was 
told him of the battles and noble acts which he and his 

brethren 



Demetrius 1 letters to the Jews. 

Christ brethren had done,and of the pains that they had endured, 

1 6 He faid, Shall we find fuch another man ? Now 
therefore we will make him our friend and confederate. 

1 7 Upon this he wrote a letter, and fent it unto him, 
according to thefe words, faying, 

1 8 King Alexander to his brother Jonathan fendeth 
greeting : 

19 We have heard of thee, that thou art a man of 
great power, and meet to be our friend. 

20 Wherefore now this day we ordain thee to be the 
high prieft of thy nation, and to be called the king's 
friend ; (and therewithal he fent him a purple robe and 
a crown of gold : ) and require thee to take our part, and 
keep friendship with us. 

21 So in the feventh month of the hundred and fix- 
tieth year, at the feaft of the tabernacles, Jonathan put on 
the holy robe, and gathered together forces, and provided 
much armour. 

2 2 Whereof when Demetrius heard, he was very forry, 
and faid, 

23 What have we done, that Alexander hath prevented 
us in making amity with the Jews to ftrengthen himfelf ? 

24 I alfo will write unto them words of encouragement, 
andpromife them dignities and gifts, that I may have their 
aid. 

25 He fent unto them, therefore, to this effect : King 
Demetrius unto the people of the Jews fendeth greeting. 

26 Whereas ye have kept covenants with us, and con- 
tinued in our friendfhip, not joining yourfelves with our 
enemies, we have heard hereof, and are glad. 

27 Wherefore now continue ye ftill to be faithful unto 
us, and we will well recompenfe you for the things ye do 
in our behalf. 

28 And will grant you many immunities, and give you 
rewards. 

29 And now do I free you, and for your fake I releafe 
all the Jews from tributes, and from the cuftoms of fait, 
and from crown taxes. 

30 And from that which appertaineth unto me to re- 
ceive for the third part of the feed, and the half of the 
fruit of the trees, I releafe it from this day forth, fo that 
they fhall not be taken of the land of Judea, nor of the 
three governments which are added thereunto out of the 
country of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth for 
evermore. 

3 1 Let Jerufalem alfo be holy and free, with the bor- 
ders thereof, both from tenths and tributes. 

. 32 And as for the tower which is at Jerufalem, I yield 
up my authority over it, and give it to the high prieft, 
that he may fet in it fuch men as he fhall choofe to keep it. 

33 Moreover, I freely fet at liberty every one of the 
Jews that were carried captives out of the land of Judea 
into any part of my kingdom, and i" will that all my offi- 
cers remit the tributes even of their cattle. 

34 Furthermore, / wi//that all the feafts, and fabbaths, 
and new moons, and folemn days, and the three days be- 
fore the feaft, and the three days after the feaft, fhall be 
all days of immunity and freedom for all the Jews in my 
realm.' 

35 Alfo no man fhall have authority to meddle with 
thtm y or to moieft any of them in any matter. 

36 Iwill further, that there be enrolledamongtheking's 
forces about thirty thoufand men of the Jews, unto whom 
pay fhall be given, as belongeth to all the king's forces. 

3 7 And o£ th.ira.fome fhall be placed in the king's ftrong

Alexander fendeth ambajfadors to Ptolemee. 
holds, of whom zKofome fhall be fet over the affairs of the 
kingdom, which are of truft : and / will that their over- 
feers and governors be of themfelves, and that they f live 
after their own laws, even as the king hath commanded, 
in the land of Judea. 

3 8 And concerning the three governments that are added 
to Judea from the country of Samaria, let them be joined 
with Judea, that they may be reckoned to be under 
one, nor bound to obey other authority than the high 
prieft's. 

39 As for Ptolemais, and the land pertaining thereto, 
I give it as a free gift to the fan&uary at Jerufalem, for 
the neceffary expenfes || of the fanctuary. 

40 Moreover, I give every year fifteen thoufand fhek- 
els of filver out of the king's accounts from the places 
appertaining. 

4 1 And all the overplus, which the officers paid not in, 
as in former time, from henceforth fhall be given toward 
the works of the temple. 

42 And befide this, the five thoufand fhekels of filver, 
which they took from the ufes of the temple, out of the 
accounts year by year, even thofe things fhall be releafed, 
becaufe they appertain to the priefts that minifter. 

43 And whofoever they be that flee unto the temple at 
Jerufalem, or be within the liberties thereof, being in- 
debted unto the king, or for any other matter, let them be 
at liberty, and all that they have in my realm. 

44 For the building alfo, and repairing of the works of 
the fanctuary, expenfes fhall be given of the king's ac- 
counts. 

45 Yea, and for the building, of the walls of Jerufalem, 
and the fortifying thereof round about, expenfes fhall be 
given out of the king's accounts, as alfo for the building 
of the walls in Judea. 

46 Now, when Jonathan and the people heard thefe 
words, they gave no credit unto them, nor received them, 
becaufe they remembered the great evil that he had done 
in Ifrael ; for he had afflicted them very fore. 

47 But with Alexander they were well pleafed, becaufe 
he was the firft that entreated of true peace with them, 
and they were confederate with him always. 

48 Then gathered king Alexander great forces, and 
camped over againft Demetrius. 

49 Andafter the two kings had joined battle, Demetrius' 
hoft fled : but Alexander followed after him, and prevailed 
againft them. 

50 And he continued the battle very fore until the fun 
went down ; and that day was Demetrius flain. 

5 t Afterward Alexander fent ambaffadors to Ptolemee 
king of Egypt, with a maffage to this effect : 

5 2 Forafmuch as I am come again to my realm, and am 
fet in the throne of my progenitors, and have gotten the 
dominion, and overthrown Demetrius, and recovered our 
country : 

53 (For, after I had joined battle with him, both he and 
his hoft was difcomfited by us, fo that we fit in the throne 
of his kingdom :) 

54 Now, therefore, let us make a league of amity to- 
gether, and give me now thy daughter to wife : and I will 
be thy fon in law, and will give both thee and her gifts 
according to thy dignity. 

55 Then Ptolemee the king gave anfwer, faying, Happy 
be the day wherein thou didft return unto the land of thy 
fathers, and fateft in the throne of their kingdom. 

56 And now will I do to thee as thou haft written :

Jonathan encampeth at Joppe. C H A 

meet me, therefore, at Ptolemais, that we may fee one an- 
other ; for I will marry my daughter to thee according to 
thy defire. 

5 7 So Ptolemee went out of Egypt with his daughter 
Cleopatra, and they came unto Ptolemais in the hundred 
threefcore and fecond year ; 

58 Where king Alexander meeting him, he gave unto 
him his daughter Cleopatra, and celebrated her marriage 
at Ptolemais with great glory, as the manner of kings is. 

59 Now king Alexander had written unto Jonathan, 
that he fhould come and meet him. 

60 Who thereupon went honourably to Ptolemais, 
where he met the two kings, and gave them and their 
friends filver and gold, and many prefents, and found fa- 
vour in their fight. 

61 At that time certain peftilent fellows of Ifrael, men 
of a wicked life, aflembled themfelves againft him, to ac- 
cufe him : but the king would not hear them. 

62 Yea more than that, the king commanded to take 
off his garments, and clothe him in purple : and they 
did fo. 

63 Alfo he made him fit by himfelf, and faid unto his 
princes, Go with him into the midft of the city, and make 
proclamation, that no man complain againft him of any 
matter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of 
caufe. 

64 Now, when his accufers faw that he was honoured 
according to the proclamation, and clothed in purple, 
they all fled away. 

65 So the king honoured him, and wrote him among 
l^-f^.his chief friends, and made him a duke, and || partaker of 
iua. j^g dominion. 

66 Afterward Jonathan returned to Jerufalem with 
peace and gladnefs. 

67 Furthermore, in the hundred threefcore and fifth 
year, came Demetrius, fon of Demetrius, out of Crete, 
into the land of his fathers : 

68 Whereof when king Alexander heard tell, he was 
right forry, and returned into Antioch. 

69 Then Demetrius made Apollonius, the governor of 
Celofyria, his general : who gathered together a great 
hoft, and camped in Jamnia, and fent unto Jonathan the 
high prieft, faying, 

70 Thou alone lifteft up thyfelf againft us, and I am 
laughed to fcorn for thy fake, and reproached ; and why 
doft thou vaunt thy power againft us in the mountains ? 

71 Now, therefore, if thou trufteft in thine own 
ftrength, come down to us into the plain field, and there 
let us try the matter together : for with me is the power 
of the cities. 

72 Afk and learn who I am, and the reft that take our 
part, and they fhall tell thee that thy foot is not able to 
ftand before our face ; for thy fathers have been twice 
put to flight in their own land. 

73 Wherefore now thou fhalt not be able to abide the 
horfemen, and fo great a power in the plain, where is 
neither ftone nor flint, nor place to flee unto. 

74 So when Jonathan heard thefe words of Apollonius, 
he was moved in his mind ; and, choofing ten thoufand 
men, he went out of Jerufalem, where Simon his brother 
met him for to help him. 

75 And he pitched his tents againft Joppe : but they 
of Joppe fhut him out of the city, becaufe Appollonius had 
a garrifon there. 

76 Then Jonathan laid fiege unto it : whereupon they 



AND the king • of Egypt gathered together a great 
hoft, likethe fand that liethupon the fea fhore, and 
many fhips, and went about through deceit to get Alex- 
ander's kingdom, and join it to his own. 

2 Whereupon he took his journey into Syria in peace- 
able manner, fo as they of the cities opened unto him 
and met him : for king Alexander had commanded them 
fo to do, becaufe he was his father in law. 

3 Now, as Ptolemee entered into the cities, he fet in 
every one of them a garrifon of foldiers to keep it. 

4 And when he came near to Azotus, they fhewed him 
the temple of Dagon that was burnt, and Azotus and the 
fuburbs thereof that were deftroyed, and the bodies that 
were caft abroad, andthem that he had burnt in the battle : 
for they had made heaps of them by the way where he 
fhould pafs. 

5 Alfo they told the king whatfoever Jonathan had 
done, to the intent he might blame him : but the king 
held his peace. 

6 Then Jonathan met the king with great pomp at 
Joppe, where they faluted one another, and f lodged. 

7 Afterwards Jonathan, when he had gone with the 
king to the river called Eleutherus, returned again to 
Jerufalem.

77 Whereof when Apollonius heard, he took three 
thoufand horfemen, with a great hoft of footmen , and 
went to Azotus, [| as one that journeyed, and therewith- 
al || drew him forth into the plain, becaufe he had a great 
number of horfemen, in whom he put his truft. 

78 Then Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, where 
the armies joined battle. 

79 Now Apollonius had left a thoufand horfemen in 
ambufh. 

80 And Jonathan knew that there was an ambufhment 
behind him ; for they had compaffed in his hoft, and caft 
darts at the people from morning till evening. 

8 1 But the people flood ftill, as Jonathan had com- 
manded them : and fo the || enimies' horfes were tired. 

82 Then brought Simon forth his hoft, and fet them 
againft the footmen, (for the horfemen were fpent,) who 
were difcomfited by him, and fled. 

83 The horfemen alfo, being fcattered in the field, 
fled to Azotus, and went into Bethdagon, their idol's 
temple, for fafety. 

84 But Jonathan fet fire on Azotus, and the cities 
round about it, and took their fpoils ; and the temple of 
Dagon, with them that were fled into it, he burnt with fire. 

85 Thus there were burnt and flain with the fword well 
nigh eight thoufand men. 

86 And from thence Jonathan removed his hoft, and 
camped againft Afcalon, where the men of the city came 
forth and met him with great pomp. 

87 -After this returned Jonathan and his hoft unto Je- 
rufalem, having many fpoils. 

88 Now when king Alexander heard thefe things, he 
honoured Jonathan yet more, 

89 And fent him a buckle of gold, as the ufe is to be 
given to fuch as are of the king's blood : he gave him al- 
fo Accaron, with the borders thereof, in pofTeffion.

Christ rninion of the cities by the fea, unto Seleucia upon the

9 Wherenpon he fent ambaffadors unto king Deme- 
trius, faying, Come, let us make a league betwixt us, and 
I will give thee my daughter, whom Alexander hath, 
and thou fhalt reign in thy father's kingdom : 

10 For I repent that I gave my daughter unto him ; 
for he fought to flay me. 

t i Thus did he flander him, becaufe he was defirous 
of his kingdom. 

12 Wherefore he took his daughter from him, and 
gave her to Demetrius, and forfook Alexander, fo that 
their hatred was openly known. 

1 3 Then Ptolemee entered into Antioch, where he fet 
two crowns upon his head, the crown of Afia and of 
Egypt. 

14 In the mean feafon was king Alexander in Cilicia, 
becaufe thofe that dwelt in thofe parts had revolted 
from him. 

15 But when Alexander heard of this he came to war 
againft him : whereupon king Ptolemee brought forth 
his bo/?, and met him with a mighty power, and put him 
to flight. 

1 6 So Alexander fled into Arabia, there to be defend- 
ed : but king Ptolemee was exalted : 

1 7 For Zabdiel the Arabian took off Alexander's head, 
and fent it unto Ptolemee. 

18 King Ptolemee alfo died the third day after, f and 
they that were in the ftrong holds were flain one of another. 

19 By this means Demetrius reigned in the hundred 
threefcore and feventh year. 

20 At the fame time Jonathan gathered together them 
that were in Judea, to take the tower that was in Jerufa- 
lem : and he made many engines of war againft it. 

2 1 Then certain ungodly perfons, who hated their own 
people, went unto the king, and told him that Jonathan 
befieged the tower. 

22 Whereof when he heard, he was angry, and imme- 
diately removing, he came to Ptolemais, and wrote un- 
to Jonathan, that he fhould not lay fiege to the tower, 
but come and fpeak with him at Ptolemais in great 
hafte. 

23 Neverthelefs, Jonathan, when he heard this, com- 
manded to befiege itjlill .- and he chofe certain of the el- 
ders of Ifrael, and the priefts, and put himfelf in peril ; 

24 And took filver and gold, and raiment, and divers 
prefents befides, and went to Ptolemais unto the king, 
where he found favour in his fight. 

25 And though certain ungodly men of the people had 
made complaints againft him, 

26 Yet the king entreated him as his predeceflors had 
done before, and promoted him in the fight of all his 
friends, 

27 And confirmed him in the high priefthood, and in 
all the honours that he had before, and gave him pre- 
eminence among his chief friends. 

28 Then Jonathan defired the king thathe would make 
Judea free from tribute, as alfo the three governments, 
with the country of Samaria : and he promifed him three 
hundred talents. 

29 So the king confented, and wrote letters unto Jona- 
than of all thefe things after this manner : 

30 King Demetrius unto his brother Jonathan, and un- 
to the nation of the Jews, fendeth greeting : 

3 1 We fend you here a copy of the letter which we

The Jews get ptffeflion ofAruhch, 

did write unto our coufin Lafthenes concerning you, that 
ye might fee it. 

32 King Demetrius unto his father Lafthenes fendeth 
greeting : 

33 We are determined to do good to the people of the 
Jews, who are our friends, and keep covenants with us, 
becaufe of their good will toward us. 

34 || Wherefore we have ratified unto them the bor- 
ders of Judea, with the three governments of Apher- 
ema, and Lydda, and Ramathem, that are added unto 
Judea from the country of Samaria, and all things apper- 
taining unto them, for all fuch as do facrifice in Jerufa- 
lem, inftead of the payments which the king received of 
them yearly aforetime out of the fruits of the earth, and 
of trees. 

35 And as for other things that belong unto us, of the 
tithes and cuftoms pertaining unto us, as alfo the fait pits, 
and the crown taxes, which are due unto us, we dif~ 
charge them of them all for their relief. 

36 And nothing hereof fhall be revoked from this time 
forth for ever. 

37 Now therefore, fee that thou make a copy of thefe 
things, and let it be delivered unto Jonathan, and fet 
upon the holy mount in a confpicuous place. 

38 After this, when king Demetrius faw that the land 
was quiet before him, and that no refiftance was made 
againft him, he fent away all his forces, every one to his 
own place, except certain bands of ftrangers, whom he 
had gathered from the ifles of the heathen : wherefore 
all the forces of his fathers hated him. 

39 Moreover, there was one Tryphon, that had been of 
Alexander's part afore, who, feeing that all the hoft mur- 
mured againft Demetrius, went to Simalcue the Arabian, 
that brought up Antiochus, the young fon of Alexander, 

40 And lay fore upon him to deliver him this young 
Antiochus, that he might reign in his father's ftead : he told 
him therefore all that Demetrius had done, and how his 
men of war were at enmity with him ; and there he re- 
mained a long feafon. 

41 In the mean time, Jonathan fent unto king Deme- 
trius, that he would caft thofe of the tower out of Jerufa- 
lem, and thofe alio in the fortrefles ; for they fought 
againft Ifrael. 

42 So Demetrius fent unto Jonathan, faying, I will not 
only do this for thee and thy people, but I will greatly 
honour thee and thy nation, if opportunity ferve. 

43 Now, therefore, thou fhalt do well if thou fend me 
men to help me : for all my forces are gone from me. 

44 Upon this Jonathan fent him three thoufand ftrong 
men unto Antioch ; and when they came to the king, the 
king was very glad of their coming. 

45 Howbeit, they that were of the city gathered them- 
felves together into the midft of the city, to the number 
of an hundred and twenty thoufand men, and would have 
flain the king. 

46 Wherefore the king fled into the court ; but they of 
the city kept the pafTages of the city, and began to fight. 

47 Then the king called to the Jews for help, who 
came unto him all at once ; and, difperfing themfelves 
through the city, flew that day in the city to the number 
of an hundred thoufand. 

48 Alfo they fet fire on the city, and gat many fpoils 
that day, and delivered the king. 

49 So when they of the city faw that the Jews had got 
the city as they would, their courage was abated : where-

5; 1 With that they caft away their weapons, and made 
peace ; and the Jews were honoured in the fight of the 
king, and in the fight of all that were in his realm j and 
they returned to Jerufalem, having great fpoils. 

52 So king Demetrius fat on the throne of his kingdom, 
and the land was quiet before him. 

53 Neverthelefs, he diffembled in all that ever he fpake, 
and eftranged himfelf from Jonathan, neither rewarded 
he him according to the benefits which he had received 
of him, but troubled him very fore. 

54 After this returned Tryphon, and with him the 
young child Antiochus, who reigned, and was crowned. 

55 Then there gathered unto him all the men of war, 
whom Demetrius had put away, and they fought againft 
Demetrius, who turned his back and fled. 

56 Moreover, Tryphon took the f elephants, and won 
Antioch. 

5 7 At that time young Antiochus wrote unto Jonathan, 
faying, I confirm thee in the high priefthood, and appoint 
thee ruler over the four governments, and to be one of 
the king's friends. 

58 Upon this he fent him golden vefTels f to be ferved 
in, and gave him leave to drink in gold, and to be clothed 
in purple, and to wear a golden buckle. 

59 His brother Simon alfo he made captain, from the 
place called The Ladder of Tyrus unto the borders of 
Egypt. 

60 Then Jonathan || went forth, and pafled through 
the cities beyond the water, and all the forces of Syria 
gathered themfelves unto him for to help him : and when 
he came to Afcalon, they of the city met him honourably. 

6 1 From whence he went to Gaza ; but they of Gaza 
fliut him out : wherefore he laid fiege unto it, and burn- 
ed || the fuburbs thereof with fire, and fpoited them. 

place's' there- 62 Afterward, when they of Gaza made fupplication 

tGr'/ie fove^tmto Jonathan, f he made peace with them, and took the 

rlghi'hand. ^ ons °^ their chief men for hoftages, and fent them to 

Jerufalem, and pafled through the country unto Damafcus. 

63 Now when Jonathan heard that Demetrius' princes 
were come to Cades, which is in Galilee, with a great 
pewer, purpofing |j to remove him out of the country, 

64 He went to meet them, and left Simon his brother 
in the country. 

65 Then Simon encamped againft Bethfura, and fought 
againft it a long feafon, and fhut it up : 

66 But they defired to have peace with him, which 
he granted them, and then put them out from thence, and 
took the city, and fet a garrifon in it. 

67 As for Jonathan and his hoft, they pitched at the 
water of Gennefar, from whence, betimes in the morn- 
ing, they gat them to the plain of Nafor. 

68 And, behold, the hoft of ftrangers met them in the 
plain ; who, having laid men in ambufh for him in the 
mountains, came themfelves over againft him. 

69 So when they that lay in ambufh rofe out of their 
places, and joined battle, all that were of Jonathan's fide 
fled ; 

70 Infomuch as there was not one of them left, except 
Mattathias the fon of Abfalom, and Judas the. fin of Cal- 
phi, the captains of the hoft. 

71 Then Jonathan rent his clothes, and caft earth upon 
his head, and prayed. 



P. XII. He reneweth his league with the Romans. 

72 Afterwards, turning again to battle, he put them c „pJg T 
to flight, andfo they ran away. C ir. i 44 . 

73 Now, when his own men that were fled faw this, 
they turned again unto him, and with him purfued them 
to Cades, even unto their own tents, and there they 
camped. 

74 So there were flain of the heathen that day about 
three thoufand men : but Jonathan returned to Jerufalem. 

CHAP. XII. 

I Jonathan reneweth his league •with the Romans and Lace- 
demonians. 24 The forces of Demetrius Jlee away, tsV. 

NOW, when Jonathan faw that the time ferved him, he 
chofe certain men, and fent them to Rome, for to 
confirm and renew the friendfhip that they had with them. 

2 He fent letters alfo to the Lacedemonians, and to 
other places, for the fame purpofe. 

3 So they went unto Rome, and entered into the fenate, 
and faid, Jonathan the high prieft, and the people of the 
Jews, fent us unto you, to the end ye fhould renew the 
friendfhip which ye had with them, and league, as in 
former time. 

4 Upon this the Romans gave them letters unto the 
governors of every place, that they fhould bring them in- 
to the land of Judea peaceably. 

5 And this is the copy of the letters which Jonathan 
wrote to the Lacedemonians : 

6 Jonathan the high prieft, and the elders of the nation, 
and the priefts, and the other people of the Jews, unto 
the Lacedemonians their brethren, fend greeting : 

7 There were letters fent in times paft unto Onias the 
high prieft from \\ Darius, who reigned then among you, 
to fignify that ye are our brethren, as the copy here un- 
derwritten doth fpecify. 

8 At which time Onias entreated the ambafTador that 
was fent honourably, and received the letters, wherein 
declaration was made of the || league and friendfhip. 

9 Therefore we alfo, albeit we need none of thefe things, 
for that we have the holy books of fcripture in our hands 
to comfort us, 

10 Have neverthelefs attempted to fend unto you, for 
the renewingof brotherhood and friendfhip, left we fhould 
become ftrangers unto you altogether : for there is a long 
time pafled fince ye fent unto us. 

1 1 We, therefore, at all times without ceafing, both 
in our feafts, and other convenient days, do remember 
you in the facrifices which we offer, and in our prayers, 
as reafon is, and as it becometh us to think upon our 
brethren : 

12 And we are right glad of your honour. 

13 As for ourfelves, we have had great troubles and 
wars on every fide, forafmuch as the kings that are round 
about us have fought againft us. 

14 Howbeit, we would not be troublefome unto you, 
nor to others of our confederates and friends, in thefe wars. 

15 For we have help from heaven that fuccoureth us, 
fo as we are delivered from our enemies, and our ene- 
mies are brought under foot. 

16 For this caufe we chofe Numenius the fin of Anti- 
ochus, and Antipater the fin of Jafon, and fent them un- 
to the Romans, to renew the amity that we had with 
them, and the former league. 

1 7 We commanded them alfo to go unto you, and to 
falute you, and to deliver you our letters concerning the 
renewing of our brotherhood.

1 8 Wherefore now ye fhall do well to give us an an- 
fwer thereto. 

19 And this is the copy of the letters || which Oniares 
fent. 

20 Areus king of the Lacedemonians to Onias the 
high prieft, greeting : 

21 It is found in writing, that the Lacedemonians and 
Jews are brethren, and that they are of the ftock of Abra- 
ham : 

22 Now, therefore, fince this is come to our know- 
frGr. peace-, ledge, ye fhall do well to write unto us of your \ prof- 

perity. 

23 We do write back again to you, that your cattle and 
goods are ours, and ours are yours. We do command, 
therefore, our ambajfadors to make report unto you on 
this wife. 

24 Now, when Jonathan heard that Demetrius' prin- 
ces were come to fight againft him with a greater hoft than 
afore, 

25 He removed from Jerufalem, and met them in the 
land of Amathis : for he gave them no refpite || to enter 
his country. 

26 He lent fpies alfo unto their tents, who came again 
and told him, that they were appointed to come upon 
them in the night feafon. 

27 Wherefore, fo foon as the fun was down, Jonathan 
commanded his men to watch, and to be in arms, that all 
the night long they might be ready to fight : alfo he fent 
forth centinels round about the hoft. 

28 But when the adverfaries heard that Jonathan and 
his men were ready for battle, they feared, and trembled 
in their hearts, and |] they kindled fires in their camp. 

29 Howbeit, Jonathan and his company knew it not till 
the morning : for they faw the lights burning. 

30 Then Jonathan purfued after them, but overtook 
them not : for they were gone over the river Eleutherus. 

3 1 Wherefore Jonathan turned to the Arabians, who 
were called f Zabadeans, and fmote them, and took their 

ens, or, Zaba- lpOUS. 

the™. 32 And remov j n g thence, he came to Damafcus, and 

fo patted through all the country. 

33 Simon alfo went forth, and paffed through the coun- 
try unto Afcalon, and the holds there adjoining, from 
whence he turned afide to Joppe, and won it. 

34 For he had heard that they would deliver the hold 
unto them that took Demetrius' part ; wherefore he fet a 
garrifon there to keep it. 

35 After this came Jonathan home again •, and, calling 
the elders of the people together, he confulted with them 
about building ftrong holds in Judea, 

36 And making the walls of Jerufalem higher ; and 
railing a great mount between the tower and the city, for 
to feparate it from the city, that fo it might be alone, that 
men might neither fell nor buy in it. 

37 Upon this they came together to build up the city ; 
|j Forafmuch 2s, part o/"the wall toward the brook on the 
eaft fide was fallen down, and they repaired that which 
was called Caphenatha. 

38 Simon alfo fet up Adida in Sephela, and made it 
h-ook "toward, ftrong with gates and bars. 

39 Now Tryphon went about to get the kingdom of 
Afia, and to kill Antiochus the king, that he might fet the 
crown upon his own head. 

40 Howbeit, he was afraid that Jonathan would not fuf- 
fer him, and that he would fight againft him ; wherefore,

he fought a way how to take Jonathan, that he might kill 
him.. So he removed, and came to Bethfan. 

41 Then Jonathan went out to meet him with forty 
thoufand men chofen for the battle, and came to Bethfan. 

42 Now, when Tryphon faw that Jonathan came with 
fo great a force, he durft not ftretch his hand againft him ; 

43 But received him honourably, and commended him 
unto all his friends, and gave him gifts, and commanded 
his men of war to be as obedient unto him, as to himfelf. 

44 Unto Jonathan alfo he faid, Why haft thou put all this 
people to fo great trouble, feeing there is no war betwixt us? 

45 Therefore fend them now home again, and choofe 
a few men to wait on thee, and come thou with me to Pto- 
lemais, for I will give it thee, and the reft of the ftrong 
holds and forces, andall that have any charge : as for me, I 
will return and depart : for this is the caufe of my coming. 

46 So Jonathan, believing him, did as he bade him, and 
fent away his hoft, who went into the land of Judea. 

47 And with himfelf he retained but three thoufand 
men, of whom he f fent two thoufand into Galilee, and 
one thoufand went with him. 

48 Now, as foon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, 
they of Ptolemais fhut the gates, and took him ; and all 
them that came with him they flew with the fword. 

49 Then fent Tryphon an hoft of footmen and horfe- 
men into Galilee, and into the great plain, to deftroy all 
Jonathan's company. 

50 But when they knew that Jonathan and they that 
were with him, were taken and flain, they encouraged one 
another, and went clofe together, prepared to fight. 

5 1 They, therefore, that followed upon them, perceiv- 
ing that they were ready to fight for their lives, turned 
back again. 

52 Whereupon they all came into the land of Judea 
peaceably, and there they bewailed Jonathan, and them 
that were with him, and they were fore afraid ; wherefore 
all Ifrael made great lamentation. 

5 3 Then all the heathen that were round about them ; 
fought to deftroy them : For, faid they, they have no 
captain, nor any to help them : now, therefore, let us 
make war upon them, and take away their memorial from 
among men. 

CHAP. XIII. 

Simon is made captain in his brother Jonathans room, &c. 

NOW, when Simon heard that Tryphon had gathered 
together a great hoft to invade the land of Judea, 
and deftroy it ; 

2 And faw that the people was in great trembling and 
fear, he went up to Jerufalem, and gathered the people 
together, 

3 And gave them exhortation, faying, Ye yourfelves 
know what great things I, and my brethren, and my fa- 
ther's houfe, have done for the laws and the fanttuary, 
the battles alfo and troubles which we have feen, 

4 By reafon whereof all my brethren are flain for Ifrael's 
fake, and I am left alone. 

5 Now therefore, be it far from me that I fhould fpare 
mine own life in any time of trouble : for I am no better 
than my brethren. 

6 Doubtlefs I will avenge my nation, and the fanftuary, 
and our wives, and our children : for all the heathen are 
gathered to deftroy us of very malice. 

7 Now, as foon as the people heard thefe words, their 

fpirit revived.

% And they aiifwered with a loud voice, faying, Thou 
fhalt be our leader inftead of Judas and Jonathan thy 
brother* 

9 Fight thou our battles, and whatfoever thou com- 
mandeft us, that will we do. 

10 So then he gathered together all the men of war, 
•char. :2 36. and made hafte a to finifh the walls of Jerufalem, and he 

fortified it round about. 

1 1 Alfo he fent Jonathan theyow of Abfalom, and with 
■liiin a great power, to Joppe : who, calling out them that 
Were therein, remained there in it. 

1 2 So Tryphon removed from Ptolemais with a great 
power, to invade the land of Judea; and Jonathan was with 
him in ward. 

1 3 But Simon pitched his tents at Adida, over againft 
the plain. 

14 Now when Tryphon knew that Simon was rifen up 
inftead of his brother Jonathan, and meant to join battle 
with him, he fent mefiengers unto him, faying, 

15 Whereas we have Jonathan thy brother in hold, it 
is for money that he is owing unto the king's treafure, 

.11 or, for the || concerning the bufinefs that was committed unto him. 

%}icesihli he 1 6 Wherefore now fend an hundred talents of filver, 
and two of his fons for hoftages, that, when he is at liber- 
ty, he may not revolt from us, and we will let him go. 

1 7 Hereupon Simon, albeit he perceived that they fpake 
deceitfully unto him, yet fent he the money and the chil- 
dren, left peradventure he fhould procure to himfelf great 
hatred of the people : 

1 8 Who might have faid, Becaufe I fent him not the 
money and the children, therefore is Jonathan dead. 

19 So he fent them the children and the hundred tal- 
ents : howbeit Tryphon dilfembled, neither would he let 
Jonathan go. 

20 And after this came Tryphon to invade the land, 
and deftroy it, going round about by the way that leadeth 
unto Adora : but Simon and his hoft marched againft him 
in every place wherefoever he went. 

2 1 Now they thatwere in the tower fent mefiengers un- 
to Tryphon, to the end that he fhould haften his coming 
unto them by the wildernefs, and fend them victuals. 

22 Wherefore Tryphon made ready all his horfemen 
■to come that night : but there fell a very great fnow, by 
reafon whereof he came not. So he departed, and came 
into the country of Galaad. 

23 And when he came near to Bafcama, he flew Jona- 
than, who was buried there. 

24 Afterward Tryphon returned, and went into his own 
land. 

25 Then fent Simon, and took the bones of Jonathan 
his brother, and buried them in Modin, the city of his 
fathers. 

26 And all Ifrael made great lamentation for him, and 
bewailed him many days. 

27 Simon alio built a monument upon the fepulchre of 
his father and his brethren, and raifed it aloft to the fight, 
with hewn ftone behind and before. 

28 Moreover, he fet up feven pyramids, one againft 
another, for his father, and his mother, and his four bre- 
thren. 

29 And in thefe he made cunning devices, about the 
which he fet great pillars, and upon the pillars he made 
all theirarmourforaperpetual memory, and by the armour 
fliips carved, that they might be feen of all that fail on the 
fea. 



CHAP. XIII. 



Simon winneth Gaza, Ztfc. 



»«■ 



30 This is the fepulchre which he made at Modin, and 
it ftandeth yet unto this day. 

3 1 Now Tryphon dealt deceitfully with the young king 
Antiochus, and flew him. 

32 And he reigned in his ftead, and crowned himfelf 
king of Afia, and brought a great calamity upon the land. 

33 Then Simon built up the ftrong holds in Judea, and 
fenced them about with high towers, and great walls, and 
gates, and bars, and laid up victuals f therein. 

34 Moreover, Simon chofe men, and fent to king De- 
metrius, to the end he fhould give the land an immunity, 
becaufe f all that Tryphon did was to fpoil. 

35 Unto whom king Demetrius anfwered, and wrote 
after this manner : 

36 King Demetrius unto Simon the high prieft, and 
friend of kings, as alfo unto the elders and nation of the 
Jews, fendeth greeting .- 

37 The golden crown, and the fcarlet robe, which ye 
fent unto us, we have received : and we are ready to make 
a ftedfaft peace with you, yea, and to write unto our offi- 
cers, to confirm the immunities which we have granted. 

38 And whatfoever covenants we have made with you 
fhall ftand ; and the ftrong holds, which ye have builded, 
fhall be your own. 

39 As for any overfight or fault committed unto this 
day, we forgive it, and the crown tax alfo which ye owe 
us : and if there were any other tribute paid in Jerufalem, 
it fhall no more be paid. # 

40 And look who are meet among you to be in our 
court, let them be enrolled, and let there be peace be- 
twixt us. 

4 1 Thus the yoke of the heathen was taken away from 
Ifrael in the hundred and feventieth year. 

42 Then the people of Ifrael began to write in their 
inftruments and contracts, In the firft year of Simon the 
high prieft, the governor and leader of the Jews. 

43 In thofe days Simon camped againft Gaza, and be- 
fieged it round about : he made alfo an engine of war, and 
fet it by the city, and battered a certain tower, and took it. 

44 And they thatwere in the engine leapt into the city; 
whereupon there was a great uproar in the city : 

45 Infomuch as the people of the city rent their clothes, 
and climbed upon the walls with their wives and children, 
and cried with a loud voice, befeeching Simon f to grant 
them peace. 

, 46 And they faid, Deal not with us according to our 
wickednefs, but according to thy mercy. 

47 So Simon was appeafed toward them, and fought 
no more againft them, but put them out of the city, and 
cleanfed the houfes wherein the idols were, and fo enter- 
ed into it with fongs and thankfgiving. 

48 Yea, he put all uncleannefs out of it, and placed 
fuch men there as would keep the law, and made it ftrong- 
er than it was before, and built therein a dwelling place 
for himfelf. 

49 They alfo of the tower in Jerufalem were kept fo 
ftrait, that they could neither come forth nor go into the 
country, nor buy, nor fell : wherefore they were in great 
diftrefs for want of victuals, and a great number of them 
perilhed through famine. 

50 Then cried they to Simon, befeeching him || to be 
at one with them ; which thing he granted them : and 
when he had put them out from thence, he cleanfed the 
tower from pollutions,

52 He ordained alio that that day fhould be kept every

that was by the tower he made ftronger than it was, and 
there he dwelt himfelf with his company. 

53 And when Simon faw that John his fon was a valiant 
man, he made him captain of all the hofts : and he dwelt 
in Gazara. 

CHAP. XIV. 

Demetrius is taken captive by the king of Perfa, &c. 

OW, in the hundred threefcore and twelfth year, king 
Demetrius gathered his forces together, and went in- 
to Media, to get him help to fight againft Tryphon. 

2 But when Arfaces, the king of Perfia and Media, 
heard that Demetrius was entered within his borders, he 
fent one of his princes to take him alive ; 

3 Who went and fmote the hoft of Demetrius, and took 
him, and brought him to Arfaces, by whom he was put 
in ward. 

4 As for the land of Judea, that was quiet all the days 
of Simon ; for he fought the good of his nation in fuch 
wife, as that evermore his authority and honour pleafed 
them well. 

5 And as he was honourable in all his acts, fo in this, 
that he took Joppe for an haven, and made an entrance to 
the ifles of the fea. 

6 And enlarged the bounds of his nation, and recover- 
ed the country, 

7 And gathered together a great number of captives, 
and had the dominion of Gazara, and Bethfura, and the 
tower, out of the which he took all uncleannefs, neither 
was there any that refifted him. 

8 Then did they till their ground in peace, and the 
earth gave her increafe, and the trees of the field their 
fruit. 

9 The ancient men fat all in the ftreets, communing 
fZih'ofths to g et ' ier °f II good things, and the young men put on glo- 
rious and warlike apparel. 

10 He provided victuals for the cities, and fet in them 
all manner of munition, fo that his honourable name was 
renowned unto the end of the world. 

1 1 He made peace in the land, and Ifrael rejoiced with 
great joy : 

1 2 For a every man fat under his vine, and his fig tree, 
and there was none to fray them ; 

1 3 Neither was there any left in the land to fight againft 
them ; yea, the kings themfelves were overthrown in 
thofe days. 

1 4 Moreover, he ftrengthened all thofe of his people 
that were brought low : the law he fearched out, and every 
contemner of the law and wicked perfon he took away. 

1 5 He beautified the fjinctuary, and multiplied the vef- 
fels of the temple. 

16 Now, when it was heard at Rome, and as far as 
Sparta, that Jonathan was dead, they were very forry. 

1 7 But as foon as they heard that his brother Simon 
. was made high prieft in his ftead, and rtlled the country, 

and the cities therein, 

1 8 They wrote unto him, in tables of brafs, to renew 
the friendfhip and league which they had made with Judas 
and Jonathan his brethren :

city, unto Simonthe high prieft, and the elders, andpriefts, 
and refidue of the people of the Jews, our brethren, fend 
greeting : 

21 The ambafTadors that were fent unto our people, 
certified us of your glory and honour \ wherefore we 
were glad of their coming. 

22 And did regifter the things that they fpake in the 
council of the people in this manner : Numeniv.sy«« of 
Antiochus, and Antipater fon of Jafon, the Jews' am- 
bafladors, came unto us to renew the friendfhip they 
had with us. 

23 And it pleafed the people to entertain the men hon- 
ourably, and to put the copy of their ambaffage in public 
records, to the end the people of the Lacedemonians 
might have a memorial thereof •, furthermore, we have 
written a copy thereof unto Simon the high prieft. 

24 After this Simon fent Numenius to Rome, with a 
great fhield of gold of a thoufand pound weight, to con- 
firm the league with them : 

. 25 Whereof when the people heard, they faid, What 
thanks fhall we give to Simon and his fons ? 

16 For he, and his brethren, and the houfe of his fa- 
ther, have eftablifhed Ifrael, and chafed away in fight their 
enemies from them, and confirmed their liberty. 

27 So then they wrote it in tables of brafs, which they 
fet upon pillars in mount Sion : and this is the copy of 
the writing ; The eighteenth day of the month Elul, in 
the hundred threefcore and twelfth year, being the third 
year of Simon the high prieft, 

28 At || Saramel in the great congregation of the priefts 
and people, and rulers of the nation, and elders of the 
country, were thefe things notified unto us : 

29 Forafmuch as oftentimes there have been wars in 
the country, wherein, for the maintenance of their fanc- 
tuary, and the law, Simon the fon of Mattathias, of the 
pofterity of Jarib, together with his brethren, put them- 
felves in jeopardy, and refifting the enemies of their na- 
tion, did their nation great honour. 

30 (For after that Jonathan,having gathered hisnation to- 
gether, and been their high prieft, was added to his people. 

3 1 Their enemies purpofed to invade their country, 
that they might deftroy it, and lay hands on the fanttuary. 

32 At which time Simon rofe up, and fought for his 
nation, and fpent much of his own fubftance, and armed 
|| the valiant men of his nation, and gave them wages, 

33 And fortified the cities of Judea, together with 
Bethfura, that lieth upon the borders of Judea, where the 
|| armour of the enemies had been before ; but he fet a 
garrifon of Jews there.

fea, and || Gazara, that bordereth upon Azotus, where 
the enemies had dwelt before : but he placed Jews there,

paration thereof.)

him their governor and chief prieft, becaufe he had done

The letter of Antiochus to Simon, C H A 

that the heathen were taken out of their country, and 
they alfo that were in the city of David in Jerufalem, who 
had made themfelves a tower, out of which they lfiued, 
and polluted all about the fanftuary, and did much hurt 
II in the holy place : . 

37 But he placed Jews therein, and fortified it tor the 
fafety of the country and the city, and raifed up the walls 

of Jerufalem. . , . 

38 King Demetrius alfo confirmed him m the high 
priefthood"", according to thofe things, 

39 And made him one of his friends, and honoured 
him with great honour : V frf '" ( '. 

40 For he had heard fay, that the Romans had called 
the Tews their friends, and confederates, and brethren ; 
and that they had entertained the ambaffadors of Simon 

honourably ; \ ; 

41 Alfo, that the Jews and priefts were well pealed that ; 
Simon fhould be their governor and high prieftfor ever, 
until there fhould arife a faithful prophet •, \ 

42 Moreover, that he fhould be their captan, and 
fhoidd take charge of the fanftuary, to fet them ovlr their 
works, and over the country, and over the armoir, and 
over the fortreffes, that, I fay, he fhould take ch^-ge of 
the fanctuary : I 

43 Befidesthis, that he fhould be obeyed of every toan ; 
and that all the writings in the country fhould be iqkie in 
his name ; and that he fhould be clothed in purpV, and 
wear gold : \ 

44 Alfo that it fhould be lawful for none of the people 
or priefts to break any of thefe things, or to gainfa\ his 
words, or to gather an affembly in the country witW 
him, or to be clothed in purple, or wear a buckle of gild : 

45 And whofoever fhould do otherwife, or break W 
of thefe things, he fhould be punifhed. \ 

46 Thus it liked all the people to deal with Simon, a^d 
to do as hath been faid. \ 

47 Then Simon accepted hereof, and was well pleaft 
to be high prieft, and captain, and governor of the Jevl 
and priefts, and to defend them all. \ 

48 So they commanded that this writing fhould be pui| 
in tables of brafs, and that they fhould be fet up withiri 
the compafs of the fanftuary in a confpicuous place; \ 

49 Alfo, that the copies thereof fhould be laid up in the 
treafury,to the end that Simon arid his fons might have them.

7 And as concerning Jerufalem, and the fanctuary, let 
them be free ; and all the armour that thou haft made, and 
fertrefTes that thou haft built, and keepeft in thine hands, 
let them remain unto thee. 

8 And if any thing be, or fhall be, owing to the king, let 
it be forgiven thee from this time forth for evermore. 

9 Furthermore, when we have obtained our kingdom, 
we will honour thee, and thy nation, and thy temple, 
with great honour, fo that your honour fhall be known 
throughout the world. 

I o In the hundred threefcore and fourteenth year went 
Antiochus into the land of his fathers ; at which time all 
the forces came together unto him, fo that few were left 
with Tryphon. 

I I Wherefore, being purfued by king Antiochus, he 
fled unto Dora, which lieth by the fea fide : 

1 2 For he faw that troubles came upon him all at once, 
and that his forces had forfaken him. 

1 3 Then camped Antiochus againft Dora, having with 
him an hundred and twenty thoufand men of war, and 
eight thoufand horfemen. 

14 And when he had compaffed the city round about, 
and joined fhips clofe to the town on the fea fide, he vex- 
ed the city by land and by fea, neither fuffered he any to 
go out or in. 

1 5 In the mean feafon came Numenius, and his com-

.ple of the Jews : 

18 And they brought a fhield of gold of a thoufand

nor fight againft them, their cities or countries, nor yet

Judas and "john prevail agalnji Antiochus, 

all the covenants which he had made with him afore, and 
became ftrange unto him. 

28 Furthermore, he fent unto him Athenobius, one of 
his friends, to commune with him, and fay, Ye withhold 
Joppe and Gazara, with the tower that is in Jerufalem, 
whjch are cities of my realm. 

29 The borders thereof ye have wafted, and done great 
hurt in the land, and got the dominion of many places 
within my kingdom. 

30 Now, therefore, deliver the cities which ye have 
taken, and the tributes of the places whereof ye have got- 

)h? r ba'derT ten dominion || without the borders of Judea : 
ire. 31 Or elfe give me for them five hundred talents of fil- 

ver ; and for the harm that ye have done, and the tributes 
of the cities, other five hundred talents : if not, we will 
KTikfi U hi ue come a "d II %ht againft you. 

32 So Athenobius the king's friend came to Jerufalem -, 
and when he faw the glory of Simon, and the cupboard 
of gold and filver plate, and his great attendance, he was 
aftonifhed, and told him the king's meffage. 

33 Then anfwered Simon, and faid unto him, We have 
neither taken other men's land, nor holden that which ap- 
pertaineth to others, but the inheritance of our fathers, 
which our enemies had wrongfully in pofleffion a certain 
time. 

34 Wherefore we, having opportunity, hold the inher- 
itance of our fathers ; 

35 And whereas, thou demandeft Joppe and Gazara, 
albeit they did great harm unto the people in our country, 
yet will we give an hundred talents for them. Hereunto 
Athenobius anfwered him not a word ; 

36 But returned in a rage to the king, and made report 
unto him of thefe fpeeches, and of the glory of Simon, 
and of all that he had feen : whereupon the king was ex- 
ceeding wroth. 

37 In the mean timefledTryphonby fhipunto Orthofias. 

38 Then the king made Cendebeus captain of the fea 
coaft, and gave him an hoft of footmen and horfemen, 

39 And commanded him to remove his hoft toward 
Judea : alio he commanded him to build up Cedron, and 
to fortify the gates, and to war againft the people ; but!, as 
for the king himfelf he purfued Trypbon. 

40 So Cendebeus came to Jamnia, and began to pro 
voke the people, and to invade Judea, and to take the per 
pie prifoners, and flay them. 

41 And when he had built up Cedron, he fet horferrA 
there, and an hoft of footmen, to the end that, ifluing ct, 
they might make outroads upon the ways of Judea, as-^e 
king had commanded him.

The murder of Simon, and two of bis ft 
of war, with horfemen, who went out againft Cendebeus, 
and refted that night at Modin. 

5 And when as they rofe in the morning, and went into 
the plain, behold, a mighty great hoft, both of footmen 
and horfemen, came againft them : howbeit, there was a 
water brook betwixt them. 

6 So he and his people pitched over againft them : and 
when he faw that the people were afraid to go over the 
water brook, he went firft over himfelf ; and then the 
men, feeing him, patted through after him. 

7 That done, he divided his men, and fet the horfemen 
in the midft of the footmen : for the enemies' horfemen 
were very many. 

8 Then founded they with the holy trumpets : where- 
upon Cendebeus and his hoft were put to flight, fo that 
many of them were flain, and the remnant gat them to 
the ftrong hold. 

9 At that time was Judas, John's brother, wounded : 
but Join ftill followed after them, until he came to Ced- 
ron, vhich Cendebeus had built. 

10 || So they fled even unto the towers in the fields of 
Azotis : wherefore he burnt it with fire ; fo that there 
wereflain of them about two thoufand men. Afterwards 
he r turned into the land of Judea in peace. 

t, Moreover, in the plain of Jericho was Ptolemeus, 
thelfoj of Abubus, made captain, and he had abundance 
of fiVer and gold : 

11 For he was the high prieft's fon in law. 
3 Wherefore, his heart being lifted up, he thought to 

ge'the country to himfelf, and thereupon confulted de- 
cecfully againft Simon and his fons, to deftroy them. 

14 Now Simon was vifiting the cities that were in the 
cuntry, and taking care for the good ordering of them ; 
? which time he came down himfelf to Jericho with his 
ms, Mattathias and Judas, in the hundred threefcore and 
eventeenth year, in the eleventh month, called Sabat ; 

15 Where the fon of Abubus, receiving them deceitful- 
ly into a little hold, called Docus, which he had built, made 
them a great banquet ; howbeit, he had hid men there. 

16 So when Simon and his fons had drunk largely, 
Ptolemee and his men rofe up, and took their weapons, 
and came upon Simon into the banqueting place, and flew 
him, and his two fons, and certain of his fervants : 

1 7 In which doing he committed a great treachery, 
and recompenfed evil for good. 

1 8 Then Ptolemee wrote thefe things, and fent to the 
king, that he fhould fend him an hoft to aid him, and he 
would deliver him the country and cities. 

icj He fent others alfo to Gazara, to kill John ; and un- 
to the f tribunes he fent letters to come unto him, that he 
might give them filver, and gold, and rewards. ' 

20 And others he fent to take Jerufalem, and the 
mountain of the temple. 

2 1 Now, one had run afore to Gazara, and told John 
that his father and brethren were flain, and, quoth he, Ptole- 
mee hath fent to flay thee alio. 

22 Hereof, when he heard, he was fore aftonifhed : fo he 
laid hands on them that were come to deftroy him, and flew 
them ; for he knew that they fought to make him away. 

23 As concerning the reft of the acts of John, and his 
wars and worthy deeds which he did, and the buiiding of 
the walls which he made, and his doings,

*^~*~>-' fire difcovered by Neemias, CSV. 

TH E brethren, the Jews that be at Jerufalem, and 
in the land of Judea, wifh unto the brethren, the 
Jews that are throughout Egypt, health and peace. 

2 God be gracious unto you, and remember his cove- 
nant that he made with Abraham, Ifaac, and Jacob, his 
faithful fervants : 

3 And give you all an heart to ferve kim, and to do his 
will, with a good courage, and a willing mind ; 

4 And open your hearts in his law and commandments, 
and fend you peace, 

5 And hear your prayers, and be at one with you, and 
never forfake you in time of trouble. 

6 And now we be here praying for you. 

7 What time as Demetrius reigned, in the hundred 
threefcore and ninth year, we the Jews wrote unto you, 
in the extremity of trouble that came upon us, in thofe 
years, from the time that Jafon and his company revolted 
from the holy landand. kingdom, 

8 And burnt the porch, and fhed innocent blood : then 
we prayed unto the Lord, and were heard ; we offered 
alfo facrifices,. and fine flour, and lighted the lamps,- and 
fet forth the loaves. 

a- Lev-it. 23 3;. 9 And now fee that ye keep the feaft of a tabernacles 
in the month Cafleu.. 

10 In the hundred fourfcore and eighth year, the peo- 
ple that were at Jerufalem and in Judea, and the council, 
and Judas, fent greeting and health unto Ariftobulus, 
king Ptolemeus' matter, who was of the ftock of the 
anointed priefts, and to the Jews that were in Egypt :. 

11 Infomuchas God hath delivered us from great per- 
ils, we thank him highly, as having been in battle againft 
a king. 

1 2 For he caft them out that fought within the holy 
city.- 

13 For, when the leriler was come into Perfia, and the 
army with him that feemed invincible, they were flain 
m the temple of Nanea, by the deceit of Nanea's priefts. 

14 For Antiochus, as though he would marry her, 
came into the place, and his friends that were with him, 
to receive money in name of a dowry : 

1 5 Which, when the priefts of Nanea had fet forth, and 
he was entered with a fmall company into the compafs of 
the temple, they fliut the temple as foon as Antiochus was 
come in : 

16 And opening a privy door of the roof, they threw 
ftones like thunderbolts, and ftruck down the captain, 
hewed them in pieces, fmote off their heads, and caft 
them to thofe that were without. 

1 7 BlefTed be our God in all things, who hath delivered 
up the ungodly. 

1 8 Therefore, whereas we are now purpofed to keep 
the purification of the temple, upon the five and twentieth 

24 day of the month b Cafleu, we thought it neceflary to cer- 
tify you thereof, that ye alfo might keep it, as the feajl 
of the tabernacles, and of the fire, -which was given us 
when Neemias offered facrifice, after that he had builded 
the temple and the altar. 

19 For when our fathers were led into Perfia, the priefts 



b Lev. 23 
'7 3 I- 
Nuni. 29. 



that were then devout, took the fire of the altar privily, 
and hid it in an hollow place of a pit without water, 
where they kept it fure, fo that the place was unknown to 
ail men. 

20 Now, after many years, when it pleafed God, Nee- 
mias being fent from the king of Perfia, did fend of the 
pofterity of thofe priefts that had hid it, to the fire : but 
when they told us they found no fire, but thick water ; . 

2 1 Then commanded he them to draw it up, and to 
bring it ; and when the facrifices were laid on, Neemias 
commanded the priefts to fprinkle the wood, and the 
things hid thereupon, with the water, 

22 When this was done, and the time came that the 
fun fhone, which afore was hid in the cloud, there was a 
great fire kindled, fo that every man marvelled. 

23 And the priefts made a prayer whilft the facrifice 
was confuming, I fay, both the priefts, and all the rejl, 
Jonathan beginning, and the reft anfwering thereunto, as 
Neemias did. 

24 And the prayer was after this manner ; O Lord, 
Lord God, Creator of all things, who art fearful, and 
ftrong,.and righteous, and merciful, and the only and gra- 
cious Kingi 

25" The only giver of all things, the onlyjuft, almighty, 
and everlafting, thou that deliverer!: Ifrael from all trouble, 
and didftchoofe the fathers, and fanctify them ; 

26 Receive the facrifice for thy whole people Ifrael, 
and preferve thine own portion, and fandtify it. 

27 Gather thofe together that are fcattered from us,. 
deliver them that ferve among the heathen, look upon 
them that are defpifed and abhorred, and let. the heathen 
know that thou art our God; 

28 Punifh them that opprefs us, and with pride do us 
wrong. 

29 Plant thy people- again in thy holy place,, as Mofes 
hath fpoken. 

30 And the priefts fung pfalms of thankfgiving. 

3 1 Now, when the facrifice was confumed, Neemias 
commanded the water that was left to be poured on the 
great ftones. 

32 When this was done, there was kindled a flame : 
but it was confumed by the light that fhined from the 
altar. 

33 So when this matter was known, it was told the king 
of Perfia, that in the place where the priefts that were led 
away, had hid the fire, there appeared water, and that 
|| Neemias had purified the facrifices therewith ; 

34 Then the king, inclofing the place, made it holy, 
after he had tried the matter. 

35 And the king took many gifts, and beftowed there- 
of on thofe whom he would gratify. 

36 And Neemias called this thing Naphthar, which is 
as much as to fay, A cleanfing : but many men call it 
Nephi.

when they fee images of filver and gold, with their orna-

3 And with other fuch fpeeches exhorted he them, 
that the law fhould not depart from their hearts. 

4 It was alfo contained in the fame writing, that the 
prophet, being warned of God, commanded the taberna- 
cle and the ark to go with him, as he went forth into the 
mountain, where Mofes climbed up, and faw the heritage 
of Cod. 

5 And when Jeremy came thither, he found an hollow 
cave, wherein he laid the tabernacle and the ark, and the 
altar of incenfe, and fo ftopped the door. 

6 And fome of thofe that followed him came to mark 
the way, but they could not find it. 

7 Which when Jeremy perceived, he blamed them, 
faying, As for that place, it fhall be unkown until the 
time that God gather his people again together, and re- 
ceive them unto mercy. 

8 Then fhall the Lord fliew them thefe things, and the 
glory of the Lord fhall appear, and the cloud alfo, as it 
was fhewed unto Mofes, and as when Solomon defired 
that the place might be honourably fanctified. 

9 It was alfo declared, that he, being wife, offered the 
facrifice of dedication, and of the flnifhing of the temple. 

i o And as when Mofes prayed unto the Lord, the fire 
came down from heaven, and confumed the facrifices ; 
even fo prayed Solomon alfo, and the fire came down 
from heaven, and confumed the burnt offerings. 

1 1 And Mofes faid, Becaufe the fin offering was not to 
be eaten, it was confumed. 

12 So Solomon kept thofe eight days. 

1 3 The fame things alfo were reported in the writings 
and commentaries of Neemias ; and how he, founding 
a library, gathered together the acts of the kings, and the 
prophets, and of David, and the epiftles of the kings 
concerning the holy gifts. 

14 In like manner alfo Judas gathered together all 
thofe things that were loft by reafon of the war we had, 
and they remain with us. 

1 5 Wherefore if ye have need thereof, fend fome to

16 Whereas we then are about to celebrate the purifi-

ye keep the fame days.

CHAP. III. 

1 Of the honour done to the temple by the Gentile princes. 
4 Simon informeth concerning the treafures in the tern* 
pie. 7 Heliodorus isfent to fetch them away, &c. 

OW when the holy city was inhabited with all peace, 
and the laws were kept very well, becaufe of the 

godlinefs of Onias the high prieft, and his hatred of wick- 

ednefs. 

2 It came to pafs, that even the kings themfelves did 
honour the place, and magnify the temple with their beft 
gifts ; 

3 Infomuch that Seleucus king of Afia, of his own reve- 
nues, bare all the cofts belonging to the fervice of the 
facrifices. 

4 But one Simon, of the tribe of Benjamin, who was 
made governor of the temple, fell out with the high prieft 
about diforder in the city. 

5 And when he could not overcome Onias, he gat him 
to Apollonius the fon of Thrafeas, who then was governor 
of Celofyria and Phenice, 

6 And told him that the treafury in Jerufalem was full 
of infinite fums of money, fo that the multitude of their 
riches, which did not pertain to the account of the facrifi- 
ces, was innumerable, and that it was poffible to bring all 
into the king's hand. 

7 Now, when Apollonius came to the king, and had 
fhewed him of the money whereof he was told, the king 
chofe out Heliodorus his treafurer, and fent him with a 
commandment to bring him the aforefaid money. 

8 So forthwith Heliodorus took his journey, under a 
colour of vifiting the cities of Celofyria and Phenice, 
but indeed to fulfil the king's purpofe. 

9 And 



187, 



The apparition of a horfe and a rider. C H A P. IV. 

p And when he was come to Jerusalem, and had been 




courteoufly received of the high prieft of the city, he told 
him what intelligence was given of the money, and de- 
clared wherefore he came, and afked if thefe things were 
lb indeed. 

io Then the high prieft told him, that there was fuch 
money laid up for the relief of widows and fatherlefs 
children ; 

1 1 And that fome of it belonged to Hircanus, fan 
of Tobias, a man of great dignity, and not as that 
wicked Simon had mifmformed : the fum whereof in all 
was four hundred talents of filver, and two hundred of 
gold ; 

12 And that it was altogether impofllble that fuch 
wrongs fhould be done unto them that had committed it 
to the holinefs of the place, and to the majefty and in- 
violable fanftity of the temple, honoured over all the 
world. 

1 3 But Heliodorus, becaufe of the king's command- 
ment given him, faid, That in any wife it muft be brought 
into the king's treafury. 

14 So at the day which he appointed, he entered in to 
order this matter : wherefore there was no fmall agony 
throughout the whole city. 

15 But the priefts, proftrating themfelves before the 
altar in their priefts' veftments, called unto heaven upon 
him that made a law concerning thirigs given to be kept, 
that they fhould fafely be preferved for fuch as had com- 
mitted them to be kept. 

16 Then whofo had looked the high prieft in the face, 
it would have wounded his heart : for his countenance, 
and the changing of his colour, declared the inward ago- 
ny of his mind. 

1 7 For the man was fo compaffed with fear and horror 
of the body, that it was manifeft to them that looked upon 
him, what forrow he had now in his heart. 

1 8 Others ran flocking out of their houfes || to the 
general fupplication, becaufe the place was like to come 
into contempt. 

19 And the women, girt with fackcloth under their 
breafts, abounded in the ftreets ; and the virgins that 
were kept in, ran, fome to the gates, and fome to the 
walls, and others looked out of the windows. 

20 And all, holding their hands toward heaven, made 
fupplication. 

2 1 Then it would have pitied a man to fee the falling 
down of the multitude of all forts, and the f fear of the 
high prieft, being in fuch an agony. 

22 They then called upon the Almighty Lord, to keep 
the things committed of truft, fafe and fure, for thofe that 
had committed them. 

23 Neverthelefs, Heliodorus executed that which was 
decreed. 

24 Nowashe was there prefent himfelf with his guard 
Lird of about the treafury, the || Lord of fpirits, and the Prince 

of all power, caufed a great apparition, fo that allthatpre- 
fumed to come in with him, were aftonifhed at the power 
of God, and fainted, and were fore afraid. 

25 For there appeared unto them an horfe with a ter- 
rible rider upon him, and adorned with a very fair cover- 
ing, and he ran fiercely, and fmote at Heliodorus with his 
forefeet, and it feemed that he that fat upon the horfe 
had complete harnefs of gold. 

26 Moreover, two other young men appeared before 
him, notable in ftrcngth, excellent in beauty, and comely

in apparel, who ftood by him on either fide, and fcourged 
him continually, and gave him many fore ftripes. 

27 And Heliodorus fell fuddenly unto the ground, and 
was compafTed with great darknefs ; but they that were 
with him, took him up, and put him into a litter. 

28 Thus him, that lately came with a great train, and 
with all his guard, into the faid treafury, they carried out, 
being unable to help himfelf with his weapons : and 
manifeftly they acknowledged the power of God : 

29 For he, by the hand of God, was caft down, and 
lay fpeechlefs without all hope of life. 

30 But they praifed the Lord that had miraculoufly 
honoured his own place : for the temple, which a little 
afore was full of fear and trouble, when the Almighty 
Lord appeared, was filled with joy and gladnefs. 

3 1 Then ftraightway certain of Heliodorus' friends 
prayed Onias, that he would call upon the moft High, to 
grant him his life, who lay ready to give up the ghoft. 

32 So the high prieft, iufpecting left the king fhould 
mifconceive that fome treachery had been done to Helio- 
dorus by the Jews, offered a facrifice for the health of the 
man. 

33 Now, as the high prieft was making an atonement, 
the fame young men, in the fame clothing, appeared, and 
ftood befide Heliodorus, faying, Give Onias the high 
prieft great thanks, info much as for his fake the Lord 
hath granted thee life : 

34 And feeing that thou haft been fcourged from heav- 
en, declare unto all men the mighty power of God. And 
when they had fpoken thefe words, they appeared no 
more. 

35 So Heliodorus, after he had offered facrifice unto the 
Lord, and made great vows unto him that had faved his 
life, and faluted Onias, returned with his hoft to the king. 

36 Then teftified he to all men the works of the great 
God, which he had feen with his eyes. 

37 And when the king afked Heliodorus, who might be 
a fit man to be fent yet once again to Jerufalem, he faid, 

38 If thou haft any enemy or traitor, fend him thither, 
and thou fhalt receive him well fcourged, if he efcape 
with his life : for in that place, no doubt, there is an 
efpecial power of God. 

39 For he that dwelleth in heaven, hath his eye on 
that place, and defendeth it ; and he beateth and deftroy- 
cth them that come to hurt it. 

40 And the things concerning Heliodorus, and the 
keeping of the treafury, fell out on this fort. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 Simon Jlandereth Onias. 7 Jafon made high priejl, lafc. 

THIS Simon now, (of whom we fpake afore,) having 
been a bewrayer of the money, and of his country, 
flandered Onias, as if he had terrified Heliodorus, and 
been the worker of thefe evils. 

2 Thus was he bold to call him a traitor, that had de- 
fcrved well of the city, and tendered his own nation, 
and was fo zealous of the laws. 

3 But when their hatred went fo far, that, by one of 
Simon's facYion, murders were committed, 

4 Onias feeing the danger of this contention, and that 
Apollonius, as being the govenor of Cclofyria and Phe- 
nice, did rage, and increafe Simon's malice, 

5 He went to the king,not to be an accufer of his coun- 
trymen, but feeking the good of all, botli public and 
private ; 

6 For 



Jafon obialneth the office of high prieft. II. MAC 

CHRIST ^ For he faw that it was impoffible that the frate fhould 
i . -i. continue quiet, and Simon leave his folly, unlefs the king 
did look thereunto. 

7 But after the death of Seleucus, when Antiochus, 
called Epiphanes, took the kingdom, Jafon, the brother 
of Onias, laboured underhand to be high prieft, 

8 Promising unto the king, by interceffion, three hun- 
dred and threefcore talents of filver, and of another rev- 
enue eighty talents. 

9 Befide this, he promifed to affign an hundred and 
fifty more, if he might have licence to fet him up a place 
for exercife, and for the training up of youth in the 
fafhions of the heathen, and to write them of Jerufalem 
by the name o/"Antiochians. 

i o Which when the king had granted, and he had got- 
ten into his hand the rule, he forthwith brought his own 
nation to the Greekifh fafhion. 

1 1 And the royal privileges granted of fpecial favour 
to the Jews by the means of John the father of Eupolemus, 
who went ambafllidor to Rome for amity and aid, he took 
away ; and putting down the governments which were 
according to the law, he brought up new cuftoms againft 
the law : 

12 For he built gladly a place of exercife under the 
tower itfelf, and brought the chief young men under his 
fubje&ion, and made them wear a hat. 

1 3 Now fuch was the height of Greek fafhions, and 
increafe of heatheniih manners, through the exceeding 
profanenefs of Jafon, that ungodly wretch, and no high 
prieft ; 

14 That the priefts had no courage to ferve any more 
at the altar : but defpifing the temple, and neglecting the 
facrifkes, haftened to be partakers of the unlawful allow- 

m> r . the ance in the place of exercife, after the game of || Difcus 
called them forth ; 

1 5 Not fetting by the honours of their fathers, but lik- 
ing the glory of the Grecians beft of all. 

1 6 By reafon whereof fore calamity came upon them : 
for they had them to be their enemies and avengers, whofe 
cuftom they followed fo earneftly, and unto whom they 
<Aeiired to be like in all things. 

1 7 For it is not a light thing to do wickedly againft 
the laws of God : but the time following fhall declare 
thefe things. 

1 8 Now, when the game that was ufed every fifth 
year was kept at Tyrus, the king being prefent, 

t Rr. i; 19 Thisungracious Jafon fent f fpecial meffengers from 

TnliJs'aiots. 5 Jerufalem, who were Antiochians, to carry three hundred 
drachms of- filver to the facrifice of Hercules, which even 
the bearers thereof thought fit not to beftow upon the 
facrifice, becaufe it .was not convenient, but to be referved 
for other charges. 

20 This money then, in regard of the fender, was ap- 
pointed to Hercules' facrifice ; but becaufe of the bearers 
thereof, it was employed to the making of gallies. 

21 Now, when Apollonius, the fon of Meneftheus, was 
fent into Egypt for the || coronation of king Ptolemeus 
Philometor, Antiochus, underftanding him not to be well 
affected to his affairs, provided for his own fafety ; where- 
upon he came to Joppe, and from thence to Jerufalem. 

22 Where he was honourably received of Jafon, and 
of the city, and was brought in with torch light, and 
with great fh outings : and fo afterward went with his 
hoft unto Phenice. 

23 Three years afterward, Jafon fent Menelaus, the

aforefaid Simon's brother, to bear the money unto the 
king, and to put him in mind of certain neceffary mat- 
ters. 

24 But he, being brought to the prefence of the king, 
when he had magnified him, for the glorious appearance 
of his power, got the priefthood to himfelf, offering more 
than Jafon by three hundred talents of filver. 

25 So he came with the king's mandate, bringing 
^nothing worthy the high priefthood, but having the fury 

of a cruel tyrant, and the rage of a favage beaft. 

26 Then Jafon, who had undermined his own brother, 
being undermined by another, was compelled to flee into 
the country of the Ammonites. 

27 So Menelaus got the principality: but, as for the 
money that he had promiled unto the king, he took no 
good order for it, albeit Softratus the ruler of the cattle 
required it : 

28 For unto him appertained the gathering" of the cuf- 
toms. Wherefore they were both called before the king. 

29 Now Menelaus left his brother Lyfimachus in his 
ftead in the priefthood ; and Softratus left Crates, who 
was governor of the Cyprians. 

30 While thofe thing9 were in doing, they of Tarfus 
and Mall os made infurreclion, becaufe they were given to 
the king's concubine, called Antiochis. 

3 1 Then came the king in all hafte to appeafe matters, 
leaving Andronicus, a man in authority, for his deputy. 

32 Now Menelaus, fuppofing that he had gotten a con- 
venient time, ftole certain veffels of gold out of the tem- 
ple, and gave fome of them to Andronicus, and fome he 
fold into Tyrus, and the cities round about. 

33 Which, when Onias knew of a furety, he reproved 
him, and withdrew himfelf into a fanctuary at Daphne, 
that lieth by Antiochia. 

34 Wherefore Menelaus, taking Andronicus apart, 
prayed him to get Onias into his hands ; who, being per- 
fuaded thereunto, and coming to Onias in deceit, gave 
him his right hand with oaths : and though he were fuf- 
pedted by him, yet perfuaded he him to come forth of the 
fanctuary : whom forthwith he fhut up without regard 
of juftice. 

35 For the which caufe not only the Jews, but many 
alfo of other nations, took great indignation, and were 
much grieved for the unjuft murder of the man. 

36 And when the king was come again from the places 
about Cilicia, the Jews that were in the city, and certain 
of the Greeks that abhorred the fact: alfo, complained, 
becaufe Onias was flain without caufe. 

3 7 Therefore Antiochus was heartily forry, and moved 
to pity, and wept, becaufe of the fober and modeft be- 
haviour of him that was dead. 

3 8 And being kindled with anger, forthwith he took 
away Andronicus' purple, and rent off his clothes, and 
leading him through the whole city unto that very place 
where he had committed impiety againft Onias, there 
flew he the curfed murderer. Thus the Lord rewarded 
him his punifhment, as he had deferved. 

39 Now when many facrileges had been committed in 
the city by Lyfimachus with the confent of Menelaus, and 
the bruit thereof was fpread abroad, the multitude gather- 
ed themfelves together againft Lyfimachus, many veflels 
of gold being already carried away. 

40 Whereupon the common people rifing, and being 
filled with rage, Lyfimachus armed about three thoufand 
men, and began firft to offer violence \ one j| Auranus

being the leader, a man far gone in years, and no lefs in 
folly. 

4 1 They then feeing the attempt of Lyfimachus, fome 
of them caught ftones, fome clubs, others taking handfuls 
of duft, that was next at hand, caft them altogether upon 
Lyfimachus, and thofe that fet upon them. 

42 Thus many of them they wounded, and fome they 
ftruck to the ground, and all of them they forced to flee : 
but as for the church robber himfelf, him they killed 
befide the treafury. 

43 Of thefe matters therefore there was an accufation 
laid againft Menelaus. 

44 Now, when the king came to Tyrus, three men that 
were fent from the fenate pleaded the caufe before him : 

45 But Menelaus, being now convicted, promifed 
-Ptolemee, the fon of Dorymenes, to give him much mo- 
ney, if he would pacify the king toward him. 

46 Whereupon Ptolemee, taking the king afide into a 
certain gallery, as it were to take the air, brought him to 
be of another mind. 

47 Infomuch that he difcharged Menelaus from the 
accufations, who, notwithftanding, was caufe of all the 
mifchief : and thofe poor men, who, if they had told their 
caufe, yea, before the Scythians, fhould have been judged 
innocent, them he condemned to death. 

48 Thus they that followed the matter for the city, 
and for the people, and for the holy veflels, did foon fufFer 
unjuft punifhment. 

49 Wherefore even they of Tyrus, moved with hatred 
of that wicked deed, caufed them to be honourably buried. 

50 And fo, through the covetoufnefs of them that were 
of power, Menelaus remained ftill in authority, increafing 
in malice, and being a great traitor to the citizens. 

CHAP. V. 

Of the figns and tokens feen in Jerufalem^ &C. 

BOUT the fame time Antiochusprepared his fecond 
voyage into Egypt : 

2 And then it happened, that through all the city, for 
the fpace almoft of forty days, there were feen horfemen 
running in the air, in cloth of gold, and armed with lan- 
ces, like a band of foldiers, 

3 And troops of horfemen in array, encountering and 
running one againft another, with fhaking of fhields, and 

I or, staves, multitude of II pikes, and drawing of fwords, and cafting 
of darts, and glittering of golden ornaments, and harnefs 
of all forts. 

4 Wherefore every man prayed, that that apparition 
might turn to good. 

5 Now, when there was gone forth a falfe rumour, as 
though Antiochus had been dead, Jafon took at the leaft a 
thoufand men,and fuddenly made an aflault upon the city ; 
and they that were upon the walls being put back, and 
the city at length taken, Menelaus fled into the caftle : 

6 But Jafon flew his own citizens without mercy, not 
confidering that to get the day of them of his own nation 
wouid be a moll unhappy day for him : but thinking they 
had been his enemies, and not his countrymen, whom he 
conquered. 

7 Howbeit, for all this he obtained not the principality, 
but at the laft received fhame for the reward of his trea- 
fon, and fled again into the country of the Ammonites. 

C In he ;nd, therefore, he had an unhappy return, 
being accufed before Aretas the king of the Arabians, 
fleeing from city to city, purfued of all men, hated as a

forfaker of the laws, and being had in abomination as an C hrist 
open || enemy of his country and countrymen, he was caft city 170. 
out into Egypt. ^£o£^- 

9 Thus he that had driven many out of their country, ,,ener ' 
perifhed in a ftrange land, retiring to the Lacedemonians, 
and thinking there to find fuccour by reafon of his kin- 
dred. 

10 And he that had caft ont many unburied, had none 
to mourn for him, nor any folemn funeral at all, nor fe- 
pulchre with his fathers. 

1 1 Now, when this that was done came to the king's 
ear, he thought that Judea had revolted : whereupon, 
removing out of Egypt in a furious mind, he took the 
city by force of arms. 

12 And commanded his men of war not to fpare fuch 
as they met, and to flay fuch as went up upon the houfes. 

13 Thus there was killing of young and old, making 
away of men, women, and children, flaying of virgins and 
infants. 

14 And there were deftroyed, within the fpace of • 
three whole days, fourfcore thoufand, whereof forty thou- 
fand were flain in the conflict ; and no fewer fold than flain. 

1 5 Yet was he not content with this, but prefumed to 
go into the moft holy temple of all the world ; Menelaus, 
that traitor to the laws, and to his own country, being his 
guide : 

16 And taking the holy veflels with polluted hands, 
and with prophane hands pulling down the things that 
were dedicated by other kings to the augmentation, and 
glory, and honour, of the place, he gave them away. 

17 And fo haughty was Antiochus in mind, that he 
confidered not that the Lord was angry for a while for 
the fins of them that dwelt in the city, and therefore his 
eye was not upon the place. 

1 8 For had they not been formerly wrapped in many 
fins, this man, as foon as he had come, had forthwith 
been fcourged, and put back from his prefumption, as 
Heliodorus was, whom Seleucus the king fent to view the 
treafury. 

1 9 Neverthelefs, God did not choofe the people for 
the place's fake, but the place for the people's fake. 

20 And therefore the place itfelf, that was partaker 
with them of the adverfity that happened to the nation, 
did afterward communicate in the benefits fent from the 
Lord : and as it was forfaken in the wrath of the Al- 
mighty, fo again, the great Lord being reconciled, it was 
fet up with all glory. 

21 So when Antiochus had carried out of the temple a 
thoufand and eight hundred talents, he departed in all 
hafte unto Antiochia, weening in his pride to make the 
land navigable, and the fea paflable by foot : fuch was the 
haughtinefs of his mind. 

2 2 And he left governors to vex the nation .: at Jeru- 
falem, Philip, for his country a Phrygian, and for man- 
ners more barbarous than he that fet him there : 

23 And at Garizim, Andronicus .: and befides, Mene- 
laus, who, worfe than all the reft, bare an heavy hand 
over the citizens, having a malicious mind againft his 
countrymen the Jews. 

24 He fent alfo that deteftable ringleader Apollonius, 
with an army of two and twenty thoufand, commanding 
him to flay all thofe that were in their beft ,i-c, and to 
fell the women and the younger fort : 

25 Who coming to Jerufalem, and pretending peace, 
did forbear till the holy day of the fabbath, when taking

the Jews keeping holy day, he commanded his men to arm 
themfelves : 

26 And fo he flew all them that were gone to the cele- 
brating of the fabbath, and running through the city with 
weapons flew great multitudes. 

27 But Judas Maccabeus f with nine others, or there- 
about, withdrew himfelf into the wildernefs, and lived in 
the mountains after the manner of beafts, with his com- 
pany, who fed on herbs continually, left they fhould be 
partakers of the pollution. 

CHAP. VI. 
I The Jeivs are compelled toferfake the laiu of God, and the 
temple alfo is defiled. 1 o Cruelties exercifed, CSV. 

NOT long after this, the king fent an old man of || A- 
thens, to compel the Jews to depart from the laws of 
their fathers, and not to live after the laws of God ; 

2 And to pollute alfo the temple in Jerufalem, and to 
call it the temple of Jupiter, Olympius •, and that in Gar- 
izim, of Jupiter the Defender of ftrangers, [| as they did 
dellre that dwelt in the place. 

3 The coming in of this mifchief was fore and grievous 
to the people : 

4 For the temple was filled with riot and revelling by 
the Gentiles, who dallied with harlots, and had to do with 
women within the circuit of the holy places, and befides 
that, brought in things that were not lawful. 

^ The altar alfo was filled with prophane things, which 
the law forbiddeth. 

6 Neither was it lawful for a man to keep fabbath days, 
or ancient feafts, or to profefs himfelf at all to be a Jew. 

7 And in the day, of the king's birth, every month they 
were brought by bitter conftraint to eat of the facrifices ; 
and when the feaft of Bacchus was kept, the Jews were 
compelled to go in proceffion to Bacchus, carrying ivy. 

8 Moreover, there went out a decree to the neighbour 
cities of the f heathen, by the fuggeftion of Ptolemee, a- 
gainft the Jews, that they ihould obferve the fame fafhions, 
and be partakers of their facrifices : 

9 And whofo would not conform themfelves to the 
manners of the Gentiles, fhould be put to death. Then 
might a man have {een the prefent mifery. 

I o For there were two women brought, who had cir- 
cumcifed their children ; whom, when they had openly 
led round about the city, the babes hanging at their breafts, 
they caft them down headlong from the wall. 

I I And others, that had run together into caves near 
by, to keep the fabbath day fecretly, being difcovered to 
Philip, were all burnt together, becaufe they made a con- 
ference to help themfelves for the honour of the moft fa- 
cred dav. 

1 2 Now, I befeech thofe that read this book, that they 
be not difcouraged for thefe calamities, but that they 
judge thofe punifhments not to be for deftruction, but for 
a chaftening of our nation. 

1 3 For it is a token of his great goodnefs, when wicked 
doers are not fuffered any long time,butforthwith punifhed. 

14 For not as with other nations, whom the Lord pa-

unto us. And now will we come to the declaring of the cir. 167/ 
matter in few words. •*•">'■>•' 

18 Eleazar, one of the principal fcribes, an aged man, 
and of a well favoured countenance, was conftrained to 
open his mouth, and to eat fwine's flefh. 

19 But he, choofing rather to die glorioufly, than to live 
ftained with fuch an abomination, fpit it forth, and came 
of his own accord to the torment. 

20 As it behoved them to come, that are refolute to 
ftand out againft fuch things as are not lawful for love of 
life to be tafted. 

2 1 But they that had the charge of that wicked feaft, 
for the old acquaintance they had with the man, taking 
him afide, befought him to bring fiefh of his own provi- 
sion, fuch as was lawful for him to ufe, and make as if he 
did eat of the flefh taken from the facrifice commanded 
by the king ; 

22 That in fo doing he might be delivered from death, 
and for the old friendfhip with them find favour. 

23 But he began to confider difcreetly, and as became 
his age, and the excellency of his ancient years, and the 
honour of his gray head, whereunto he was come, and his 
moft honeft education from a child, or rather the holy law 
made and given by God : therefore he anfwered according- 
ly, and willed them ftraightways to fend him to the grave. 

24 For it becometh not our age, /aid he, in any wife to 
diffemble, whereby many young perfons might think that 
Eleazar, being fourfcore years old and ten, were now gone 
to a Arrange religion ; 

25 And fo they, through mine hypocrify, and defire to 
live a little time, and a moment longer, fhould be deceived 
by me, and I get a ftain to mine old age, and make it abomi- 
nable. 

26 For though for the prefent time I fhould be deliver- 
ed from the punifhment of men, yet fhould I not efcape the 
hand of the Almighty, neither alive nor dead. 

27 "Wherefore now, manfully changing this life, I will 
fhew myfelf fuch an one as mine age requireth. 

28 And leave a notable example to fuch as be young, to 
die willingly and courageoufly for the honourable and holy 
laws. And, when he had faid thefe words, immediately 
he went to the torment ; 

29 They that led him, changing the good will they bare 
him a little before, into hatred, becaufe the forefaid fpeeches 
proceeded, as they thought, from || a defperate mind. n or, 

30 But when he was ready to die with ftripes, he groan- mfpriid* 
ed, and laid, It is manifeft unto the Lord, that hath the 

holy knowledge, that whereas I might have been delivered 
from death, I noiv endure fore pains in body, by being 
beaten ; but in foul am well content to fuffer thefe things, 
becaufe I fear him. 

3 1 And thus this man died, leaving his death for an 
example of a noble courage, and a memorial of virtue, not 
only unto young rndh, but unto all his nation.

law to tafte fwine's flefh, and were tormented with fcourges 
and whips.

cruel death of /even brethren 

wouldeft thou afk or learn of us ? we are ready to die, 
rather than to tranfgrefs the laws of our fathers. 

3 Then the king, being in a rage, commanded pans and 
caldrons to be made hot : 

4 Which forthwith being heated, he commanded to cut 
out the tongue of him that fpake firft, and to cut off the 
utmoft parts of his body, the reft of his brethren and his 
mother looking on. 

5 Now, when he was thus maimed in all his members, 
he commanded him, being yet alive, to be brought to the 
fire, and to be fried in the pan : and as the vapour of the 
pan was for a good fpace diiperfed, they exhorted one an- 
other, with the mother, to die manfully, faying thus, 

6 The Lord God looketh upon us, and in truth hath 
comfort in us, as a Mofes in his fong, which witneffed to 
their faces, declared, faying, And he fhall be comforted in 
his fervants. 

I So when the firft was dead, after this manner, they 
brought the fecond to make him a mocking ftock ; and 
when they had pulled off the fkin of his head with the 
hair, they afked him, Wilt thou eat, before thou be punifh- 
ed throughout every member of thy body ? 

8 But he anfwered in his own language, and faid, No. 
Wherefore he alfo received the next torment in order, as 
the former did. 

9 And when he was at the laft gafp, he faid, Thou, like 
a fury, takeft us out of this prefent life, but the King of 
the world fhall raife us up, who have died for his laws, 
unto everlafting life. 

io After him was the third made a mocking ftock ; 
and when he was required, he put out his tongue, and 
that right foon, holding forth his hands manfully ; 

I I And faid courageously, Thefe I had from heaven, 
and for his laws I defpife them ; and from him I hope to 
receive them again. 

1 2 Infomuch, that the king, and they that were with 
him, marvelled at the young man's courage, for that he 
nothing regarded the pains. 

13 Now, when this man was dead alfo, they tormented 
and mangled the fourth in like manner. 

14 So, when he was ready to die, he faid thus, It is 
good, being put to death by men, to look for hope from 
God, to be raifed up again by him j as for thee, thou fhalt 
have no refurrection to life. 

1 5 Afterward they brought the fifth alfo, and mangled 
him. 

16 Then looked he unto the king, and faid, Thou haft 
power over men, thou art corruptible, thou doeft what 
thou wilt ; yet think not that our nation is forfaken of 
God ; 

1 7 But abide awhile, and behold his great power, how 
he will torment thee and thy feed. 

18 After him alfo they brought the fixth, who, being 
ready to die, faid, Be not decehed without caufe ; for 
we fuffer thefe things for ourfelves, having finned againft 
our God : therefore marvellous things are done unto us. 

19 But think not thou, that takeft in hand to ftrive 
againft God, that thou fhalt efcape unpunifhed. 

20 But the mother was marvellous above all, and wor- 
thy of honourable memory : for, when fhe faw her feven 
fons flain, within the fpace of one day, fhe bare it with a 
good courage, becaufe of the hope that fhe had in the 
Lord. 

21 Yea, fhe exhorted every one of them, in her own 
language, filled with courageous fpirits -, and flirring up 



and their mother in cr.e day. 
manly ftomach, fhe faid 



her womanifh thoughts with a 
unto them : 

22 I cannot tell how ye came into my womb ; for I 
neither gave you breath nor life, neither was it I that 
formed the members of every one of you ; 

23 But doubtlefs the Creator of the world, who form- 
ed the generation of man, and found out the beginning 
of all things, will alfo, of his own mercy, give you breath 
and life again, as ye now regard not your own felves for 
his laws' fake. 

24 Now Antiochus, thinking himfelf defpifed, and 
iufpec~ting it to be a reproachful ipeech, whilft the youngeft 
was yet alive, did not only exhort him by words, but 
alfo allured him with oaths, that he would make him both 
a rich and a happy man, if he would turn from the laws of 
his fathers ; and that alfo he would take him for his friend, 
and truft him with affairs. 

2C But when the voun^ man would in no cafe hearken 
unto him, the king called his mother, and exhorted her 
that fhe would counfel the young man to fave his life. 

26 And when he had exhorted her with many words, 
fhe promifed him that fhe would counfel her fon. 

27 But ihe, bowing herfelf toward him, laughing the 
cruel tyrant to fcorn, fpake in her country's language on 
this manner ; O my fon, have pity upon me that bare thee 
nine months in my womb, and gave thee fuck three years, 
and nourifhed thee, and brought thee up unto this age, and 
endured the troubles of education. 

28 I befeech thee, my fon, look upon the heaven and 
the earth, and all that is therein, and confider that God 
made them of things that were not ; and fo was mankind 
made likewife. 

29 Fear not this tormentor ; but, being worthy of thy 
brethren, take thy death, that I may receive thee again in 
mercy with thy brethren. 

30 While fhe was yet fpeaking thefe words, the young 
man faid, Whom wait ye for ? I will not obey the king's 
commandment ; but I will obey the commandment of 
the law, that was given unto our fathers, by Mofes. 

3 1 And thou, that haft been the author of all mifchief 
againft the Hebrews, fhalt not efcape the hands of God : 

32 For we fuffer becaufe of our fins. 

33 And though the living Lord be angry with us a 
little while for our chaftening and correction, yet fhall 
he be at one again with his fervants. 

34 But thou, O godlefs man, and of all other moft. 
wicked, be not lifted up without a caufe, nor puffed up 
with uncertain hopes, lifting up thy hand againft the fer- 
vants of God : 

35 For thou haft not yet efcaped the judgment of Al- 
mighty God, who feeth all things. 

36 For our brethren, who now have fuffered a fhort 
pain, are dead under God's covenant of everlafting life ; 
but thou, through the judgment of God, fhalt receive juft 
punifhment for thy pride. 

37 But I, as my brethren, offer up my body and life for 
the laws of our fathers, befeeching God that he would 
fpeedily be merciful unto our nation : and that thou, by 
torments and plagues, mayeft confefs, that he alone is 
God ; 

38 And that in me, and my brethren, the wrath of the 
Almighty, which is juftly brought upon all our nation, 
may ceafe. 

39 Then the king, being in a rage, handled him worfc 
than all the reft, and took it grievoufly that he was mocked. 

40 So

40 So this man died undefiled, and put his whole truft

41 Laft of all, after the fons, the mother died. 

42 Let this be enough now to have fpoken concerning 
the idolatrous feafts, and the extreme tortures. 

CHAP. VIII. 

1 Judas gathereth an army. 8 Nicanorfent againjl him. 

THEN Judas Maccabeus, and they that were with 
him, went privily into the towns, and called their 
kinsfolks together, and took unto them all fuch as con- 
tinued in the Jews' religion, and affembled about fix 
thoufand men. 

2 And they called upon the Lord, that he would look 
upon the people that was trodden down of all : and alfo 
pity the temple, profaned of ungodly men ; 

3 And that he would have companion upon the city, 
fore defaced, and ready to be made even with the ground, 
and hear the blood that cried unto him, 

4 And remember the wicked flaughter of harmlefs in- 
fants, and the blafphemies committed againft his name ; 
and that he would fhew his hatred againft the wicked. 

5 Now, when Maccabeus had his company about him, 
he could not be withftood by the heathen : for the wrath 
of the Lord was turned into mercy. 

6 Therefore he came at unawares, and burnt up towns 
and cities, and got into his hands the moft commodious 
places, and overcame and put to flight no fmall number of 
his enemies. 

7 But efpecially took he advantage of the night for fuch 
privy attempts, infomuch that the bruit of his maniinefs 
was fpread every where. 

8 So when Philip faw that this man increafed by little 
Mid little, and that things profpered with him ftill more 
and more, he wrote unto Ptolemeus, the governor of 
Celofyria and Phenice, to yield more aid to the king's 
affairs. 

9 Then forthwith, chooflng Nicanor the/on of Patro- 
clus, one of his fpecial friends, he fent him with no fewer 
than twenty thoufand of all nations under him, to root 
out the whole generation of the Jews; and with him he 
joined alfo Gorgias a captain, who in matters of war had 
great experience. 

10 So Nicanor undertook to make fo much money of 
the captive Jews, as fhould defray the tribute of two thou- 
fand talents, which .the king was to pay to the Romans. 

1 1 Wherefore immediately he fent to the cities upon 
the fea coaft, proclaiming a fale of the captive Jews, and 
promifing that they fhould have fourfcore and ten bodies 
for one talent, not expecting the vengeance that was to 
follow upon him from the Almighty God. 

1 2 Now, when word was brought unto Judas of Nica- 
nor's coming, and he had imparted unto thofe that were 
with him, that the army was at hand, 

13 They that were fearful, and diftrufted the juftice of 
God, fled, and conveyed themfelves away. 

1 4 Others fold all that they had left, and withal be- 
fought the Lord to deliver them, being fold by the wicked 
Nicanor before they met together : 

1 5 And if not for their own fakes, yet for the covenants 
he had made with their fathers, and for his holy and glo- 
rious name's fake, by which they were called. 

16 So Maccabeus called his men together unto the 
number of fix thoufand, and exhorted them not to be 
ftrickm with terror of the enemy, nor to fear the great

multitude of the heathen, who came wrongfully againft 
them ; but to fight manfully, 

17 And to fet before their eyes the injury that they 
had unjuftly done to the holy place, and the cruel hand- 
ling of the city, whereof they made a mockery, and alfo 
the taking away of the government of their forefathers : 

1 8 For they, /aid he, truft in their weapons and bold- 
nefs : but our confidence is in the Almighty God, who at 
a beck can caft down both them that come againft us, and 
alfo all the world. 

19 Moreover, he recounted unto them what helps their 
forefathers had found, and how they were delivered, when, 
under Sennacherib, an hundred fourfcore and five thou- 
fand perifhed. 

20 And he told them of the battle that they had in 
Babylon with the Galatians, how they came but eight 
thoufand in all to the bufinefs, with four thoufand Mace- 
donians, and that, the Macedonians being perplexed, the 
eight thoufand deftroyed an hundred and twenty thoufand, 
becaufe of the help that they had from heaven ; and fo 
received a great booty. 

21 Thus, when he had made them bold with thefe 
words, and ready to die for the laws and the country, he 
divided his army into four parts : 

22 And joined with himfelf his own brethren, leaders 
of each band, to wit, Simon, and Jofeph, and Jonathan, 
giving each one fifteen hundred men. 

23 Alfo, he appointed Eleazar to read the holy book : 
and when he had given them this watch word, The Help 
of God : himfelf leading the firft band, he joined battle 
with Nicanor. 

24 And, by the help of the Almighty, they flew above 
nine thoufand of their enemies, and wounded and maimed 
the moft part of Nicanor's hoft, and fo put all to flight ; 

25 And took their money that came to buy them, and 
purfued them far ; but lacking time, they returned •: 

2-6 For it was the day before the fabbath, and therefore 
they would no longer purfue them. 

27 So when they- had gathered || their armour to- 
gether, and fpoiled their enemies, they occupied them- 
felves about the fabbath, yielding exceeding praife and 
thanks to the Lord, who had preferved them unto that 
day, which was the beginning of mercy diftilling upon 
them. 

2 8 And after the fabbath, when they had given part of 
the fpoils to the || maimed, and the widows and orphans, 
the refidue they divided among themfelves and their fer- 
vants. 

29 When this was done, and they had made a common 
fupplication, they befought the merciful Lord to be recon- 
ciled with his fervants for ever. 

30 Moreover, of thofe that were with Timotheus and 
Bacchides, who fought againft them, they flew above 
twenty thoufand, and very eafily got high and ftrong 
holds, and divided among themfelves many fpoils more, 
and made the || maimed, orphans, widows, yea, and the 
aged alfo, equal in fpoils with themfelves. 

3 1 And when they had gathered their armour together, 
they laid them up all carefully in convenient places, and 
the remnant of the fpoils they brought to Jerufalem. 

32 They flew alfo Philarches, that wicked perfon, who 
was with Timotheus, and had annoyed the Jews many 
ways. 

33 Furthermore, at fuch time as they kept the feaft for 
the victory in their country, they burnt Callifthenes, that

34 As for that moft ungracious Nicanor, who had 
brought a thoufand merchants to buy the Jews, 

35 He was, through the help of the Lord, brought 
down by them, of whom he made leaft account •, and put- 
tin<r off his glorious apparel, and difcharging his compa- 
ny, he came like a fugitive fervant, through the midland, 
unto Antioch, having very great dishonour, for that his 
hoft was destroyed. 

36 Thus he, that took upon him to make good to the 
Romans their tribute, by means of the captives in Jerufa- 
lem, told abroad, that the Jews had God to fight for 
them, and therefore they could not be hurt, becaufe they 
followed the laws that he gave them. 

CHAP. IX. 

1 Antiochus is chafed from Perfepolis .* 5 he is Jlrichn with

l6 A BOUT that time came Antiochus |) with difhonour 

ISf'f '■*'"'' jLjL out °* t!ae countrv of Perfia. 

2 For he had entered the city, called Perfepolis, and 
went about to rob the temple, and to hold the city ; 
whereupon the multitude, running to defend themfelves 
with their weapons, put them to flight : and fo it hap- 
pened, that Antiochus, being put to flight of the inhabit- 
ants, returned with fhame. 

3 Now, when he came to Ecbatane, news was brought 
him what had happened unto Nicanor and Timotheus. 

4 Then, fweiling with anger, he thought to avenge 
upon the Jews the difgrace done unto him by thofe that 
made him flee. Therefore commanded he his chariot- 
man to drive without ceafing, and to difpatch the jour- 
ney, the judgment of God now following him : for he had 
fpoken proudly in this fort, that he would come to Jeru- 
falem, and make it a common burying place of the Jews. 

5 But the Lord Almighty, the God of Ifrael, fmote 
him with an incurable and invifible plague : for as foon as 
he had fpoken thefe words, a pain of the bowels that was 
remedilefs, came upon him, and fore torments of the in- 
ner parts ; 

6 And that moft juftly : for he had tormented other 
men's bowels with many and ftrange torments. 

7 Howbeit, he nothing at all ceafed from his bragging, 
but ftill was filled with pride, breathing out fire in his rage 
againft the Jews, and commanding to hafte the journey : 
but it came to pafs, that he fell down from his chariot, 
carried violently ; fo that, having a fore fall, all the mem- 
bers of his body were much pained. 

8 And thus he, that a little afore thought he might com- 
mand the waves of the fea, (fo proud was he beyond the 
condition of man,) and weigh the high mountains in a bal- 
ance, was now caft on the ground, and carried in an horfe- 
litter, fhewing forth unto all, the manifeft power of God ; 

9 So that the worms rofe up out of the body of this 
wicked man : and, whiles he lived in forrow and pain, 
his flefh fell away, and the filthinefs of his fmell was noi- 
fome to all his army. 

10 And the man, that thought a little afore he could 
reach to the ftars of heaven, no man could endure to car- 
ry, for his intolerable ftink. 

1 1 Here therefore, being plagued, he began to leave off 
his great pride, and to come to the knowledge of himfelf y 
by the fcourge of God, his pain increafing every moment. 



IX. he dieth mifera&fy 

12 And when he himfelf could not abide his own 




P. 



fmell, he faid thefe words, It is meet to be fubjeel unto 
God ; and that a man that is mortal fhould not proudly 
think of himfelf, as if he were God. 

1 3 This wicked perfon vowed alfo unto the Lord, 
(who now no more would have mercy upon him, faying 
thus, 

14 That the holy city to the which he was going in 
hafte to lay it even with the ground, and to make it a com- 
mon hurrying place) he would fet at liberty: 

15 And as touching the Jews, whom he had judged 
not worthy to be fo much as buried, but to be caft out 
with their children, to be devoured of the fowls and wild 
beafts, he would make them all equals to the citizens of 

|| Athens : fl Or.Antieck 

16 And the holy temple, which before he had fpoiled,- 
he would garnifh with goodly gifts, and reftore all the ho- 
ly veffels with many more, and out of his own revenue 
defray the charges belonging to the facrifices : 

1 7 Yea, and that alfo he would become a Jew himfelf, 
and go through all the world that was inhabited, and de- 
clare the power of God. 

1 8 But for all this lire pains would not ceafe ; for the 
juft judgment of God was come upon him : therefore, 
defpairing of his health, he wrote unto the Jews, the let- 
ters under written, containing the form of a fupplication, 
after this manner : 

19 Antiochus, king, and governor, to the good Jews, 
his citizens, wifheth much joy, health and profperity : 

20 If ye and your children fare well, and your affairs 
be to your contentment, 1 give very great thanks to God,. 
having my hope in heaven. 

2 1 As for me, I was weak, or elfe I would have re- 
membered kindly your honour and good will. Return- 
ing out of Perfia, and being taken with a grievous difeafe, 
I thought it neceffary to care for the common fafety 
of all : 

22 Not diftrufting mine health, but having great hope 
to efcape this fickneis : 

23 But confidering that even my father, at what time 
he led an army into the high countries, appointed a fuc- 
ceffor, 

24 To the end that, if any thing fell out contrary to 
expectation, or if any tidings were brought that were 
grievous, they of the land, knowing to whom || the ftate 
was left, might not be troubled. 

25 Again, confidering how that the princes that are 
borderers, and neighbours unto my kingdom, wait for 
opportunities, and expect what fhall be the event, I have 
appointed my fon Antiochus king, whom I often com- 
mitted and commended unto many of you, when I went 
up into the high provinces ; to whom I have written as 
followeth : 

26 Therefore I pray and requeft you to remember the 
benefits that I have done unto you generally, and in fpec- 
ial, and that every man will be ftill faithful to me and 
my fon : 

27 For I am perfuaded that he, || underftanding my I! or, futtmo 
mind, will favourably and gracioufly yield to your delires. '""' 

28 Thus the murderer and blafphemer, having fuffered 
moft grievoufly, as he entreated other men, fo died he a 
miferable death, in a ftrange country, in the mountains. 

29 And Philip, that was brought up with him, carried 
away his body ; who alfo, fearing the fon of Antiochus, 
went into Egypt to Ptolemeus Philometor.

Judas recover eth the city, and purijieth the temple, &c. 

OWj Maccabeus and his company, the Lord guiding 
them, recovered the temple and the city. 

2 But the altars which the heathen had built in the 
open ftreet, and alfo the chapels, they pulled down. 

3 And, having cleanfed the temple, they made another 
altar ; and, ftriking ftones, they took fire out of them, 
and offered a facrifice after two years, and izt forth in- 
cenfe, and lights, and fhewbread. 

4 When that was done, they fell flat down, and be- 
fought the Lord that they might come no more into fuch 
troubles ; but if they finned any more againft him, that he 
himfelf would chaften them with mercy, and that they 
might not be delivered unto the blafphemous and barba- 
rous nations. 

5 Now, upon the fame day that the ftrangers profaned 
the temple, on the very fam6 day it was cleanfed again, 
even the five and twentieth day of the fame month, which 
is Cafleu. 

6 And they kept eight days with gladnefs, as in the 
feaft of the tabernacles, remembering that, not long afore, 
they had held the feaft of the tabernacles, when as they 
wandered in the mountains and dens like beafts. 

7 Therefore they bare branches, and fair boughs, and 
palms alfo, and fang pfalms unto him that had given them 
good fuccefs in cleanfing his place. 

8 They ordained alfo, by a common ftatute and decree, 
That every year thofe days fhould be kept of the whole 
nation of the Jews. 

9 And this was the end of Antiochus, called Epiphanes. 
io Now will we declare the acts of Antiochus Eupa- 

tor, who was the fon of this wicked man, gathering briefly 
the calamities of the wars. 

1 1 So, when he was come to the crown, he fet one 
Lyfias over the affairs of his realm, and appointed him chief 
governor of Celofyria and Phenice. 

1 2 For Ptolemeus, that was called Macron, choofing 
rather to do juftice unto the Jews for the wrongs that had 
been done unto them, endeavoured to continue peace 
with them. 

1 3 "Whereupon, being accufed of the king's friends be-

II. MACCABEES. Gazara taken, and Timotheus killed, 

19 Maccabeus left Simon and Jofeph, and Zaccheus 
alfo, and them that were with him, who were enough to 
befiege them, and departed himfelf unto thofe places 
which more needed his help. 

20 Now |] they that were with Simon, being led with 
covetoufnefs, were perfuaded for money, (through certain 
of thofe that were in the caftle,) and took feventy thou- 
fand drachms, and let fome of them efcape. 

21 But when it was told Maccabeus what was done, 
he called the governors of the people together, and accuf- 
ed thofe men that they had fold their brethren for mo- 
ney, and fet their enemies free to fight againft them. 

22 So he flew thofe that were found traitors, and im- 
mediately took the two caftles. 

23 And, having good fuccefs with his weapons in all 
things he took in hand, he flew in the two holds more 
than twenty thoufand. 

24 Now Timotheus, whom the Jews had overcome 
before, when he had gathered a great multitude of for- 
eign forces, and horfes out of Afia not a few, came as 
though he would take Jewry by force of arms. 

25 But when he drew near, || they that were with 
Maccabeus turned themfelves to pray unto God, and 
fprinkled earth upon their heads, and girded their loins 
with fackcloth, 

26 And fell down at the foot of the altar, and be- 
fought him to be merciful to them, and to be a an enemy 
to their enemies, and an adverfary to their adverfaries, as 
the law declareth. 

27 So, after the prayer, they took their weapons, and 
went on further from the city ; and when they drew near 
to their enemiesj.they kept by themfelves. 

28 Now, the fun being newly rifen, they joined both 
together ; the one part having, together with their vir- 
tue, their refuge alfo unto the Lord, for a || pledge of 
their fuccefs and victory, the other fide making their rage 
leader of their battle. 

29 But whe-n the battle waxed ftrong, there appeared 
unto the enemies from heaven five comely men upon 
horfes, with bridles of gold, and two of them led the Jews, 

30 And took Maccabeus betwixt them, and covered 
him on every fide with their weapons, and kept him fafe, 
but fhot arrows and lightnings againft the enemies : fo 
that, being confounded with blindnefs, and full of trou- 
ble, they were killed. 

31 And there were flain of footmen twenty thoufand 
and five hundred, and fix hundred horfemen. 

3 2 As for Timotheus himfelf, he fled into a very ftrong 
hold, called Gazara, where Chereas was governor. 

33 But they that were with Maccabeus laid fiege 
againft the fortrefs courageoufly four days. 

34 And they that were within, trufting to the ftrength 
of the place, blafphemed exceedingly, and uttered wicked 
words.

young men of Maccabeus' company, inflamed with anger,

with a fierce courage killed all that they met withal. 

36 Others likewife afcending after them, whiles they 
were bufied with them that were within, burnt the tow- 
ers, and, kindling fires, burnt the blafphemers alive ; and

Lyfias, thittking to take Jerufalem, is put to fight, &C. 

NOT long after this, Lyfias, the king's f protector and 
coufin, who alfo managed the affairs, took fore dif- 
pkaiure for the things that were done. 

2 And when he had gathered about fourfcore thoufand, 
with all the horfemen, he came againft the Jews, thinking 
to make the city an habitation of the || Gentiles, 

3 And to make a gain of the temple, as of the other 
chapels of the heathen, and to fet the high priefthood to 
fale every year : 

4 Not at all considering the power of God, but puffed 
up with his ten thoufands of footmen,, and his thoufands 
of horfemen, and his fourfcore elephants. 

5 So he came to Judea, and drew near to Bethfura, 
which was a Strong town, but distant from Jerufalem about 
five furlongs, and he laid fore fiege unto it. 

6 Now, when |j they that were with Maccabeus heard 
that he befieged the holds, they and all the people, with 
lamentation and tears, befought the Lord that he would 
fend a good angel to deliver Ifrael. 

7 Then Maccabeus himfelf, firft of all, took weapons, 
exhorting the other, that they would jeopard themSelves 
together with him, to help their brethren : fo they went 
forth together with a willing mind. 

8 And, as they were at Jerufalem, there appeared before 
them, on horfeback, one in white clothing, Shaking his 
armour of gold. 

9 Then they praifed the merciful God all together, and 
took heart, infomuch that they were ready not only to 
fight with men, but with moft cruel beafts, and to pierce 
through walls of iron. 

10 Thus they marched forward in their armour, hav- 
ing an helper from heaven : for the Lord was merciful 
unto them. 

1 1 And, giving a charge upon their enemies like lions, 
they flew eleven thoufand footmen, and fixteen hundred 
horfemen, and put all the other to flight. 

1 2 Many of them, alfo, being wounded, efcaped naked ; 
and Lyfias himfelf fled away Shamefully, and fo efcaped. 

1 3 Who, as he was a man of understanding, cafting with 
himfelf what lofs he had had, and considering that the 
Hebrews could not be overcome, becaufe the Almighty 
God helped them, he fent unto them, 

14 And perfuaded them to agree to all reafbnable con- 
ditions, and promifed that he would perfuade the king, that 
he muft needs be a friend unto them. 

1 5 Then Maccabeus confented to all that Lyfias defir- 
ed, being careful of the common good ; and whatfoever 
Maccabeus wrote unto Lyfias concerning the Jews, the 
king granted it. 

16 Tor there were letters written unto the Jews from 
Lyfias to this effect : Lyfias, unto the people of the Jews, 
fendeth greeting : 

1 7 John and Abfalom, who were fent from you, deliv- 
ered me the petition fubferibed, and made requeft for the

granted as much as might be.

23 Since our father is translated unto the gods, our 
will is, that they that are in our realm live quietly, that 
every one may attend upon his own affairs. 

24 We understand alfo that the Jews would not con— 
fent to our father, for to be brought unto the cuftom of 
the Gentiles, but had rather keep their own manner of 
living \ for the which caufe they require of us that we 
Should fuffer them to live after their own laws. 

25 Wherefore our mind is, that this nation Shall be in

26 Thou Shalt do well,, therefore, to fend unto them, 
and || grant them peace, that when they are certified of 
our mind, they may be of good comfort, and ever go 
cheerfully about their, own affairs. 

27 And the letter of the king unto the nation of the 
Jews was after this manner : King Antiochus fendeth greet- 
ing unto the council, and the reft of the Jews : 

28 If ye fare well, we have our defire ; we are alfo in

30 Wherefore they that will depart, Shall have fafe con- 
duct, till the thirtieth day of Xanthicus with fecurity. 

31 And the Jews Shall- ufe their own kind of meats and

of the city, as being defirous to live in peace, and fufpect- 
ing nothing : but, when they were gone forth into the 
deep, they drowned no lefs than two hundred of them. 

5 When Judas heard of this cruelty done unto his 
countrymen, he commanded thofe that were with him to 
make them ready. 

6 And, calling upon God, the righteous Judge, he 
came againft thofe murderers of his brethren, and burnt 
the haven by night, and fet the boats on fire, and thofe 
that fled thither he flew. 

7 And when the town was fliut up, he went backward, 
to \\ as if he would return to root out all them of the city of 

Joppe. 

8 But when he heard that the Jamnites were minded to 
do in like manner unto the Jews that dwelt among them, 

9 He came upon the Jamnites alfo by night, and fet fire 
on the haven and the navy, fo that the light of the fire was 
feen at Jerufalem, two hundred and forty furlongs off. 

io Now when they were gone from thence nine fur- 
longs in their journey toward Timotheus, no fewer than 
five thoufand men on foot, and five hundred horfemen of

- 1 1 Whereupon there was a very fore battle ; but Judas* 
fide, by the help of God, got the victory ; fo that the 
Nomades of Arabia, being overcome, befought Judas for 
peace, promifing both to give him cattle, and to pleafure 
him otherwife.

profitable in many things, granted them peace : where-

ftrong city, which was fenced about with walls, and in- 
habited by people of divers countries ; and the name of 
it was ^Cafpis. 

14 But they that were within it put fuch truft in the 
ftrength of the walls, and provifion of victuals, that they 
behaved themfelves rudely toward them that were with 
Judas, railing and blafpheming, and uttering fuch words 
as were not to be fpoken. 

15 ^Therefore Judas with his company, calling upon 
the great Lord of the world, who, without any rams or 
engines of war, did caffc down Jericho in the time of Jofh- 
ua, gave a fierce affault againft the walls, 

16 And took the city by the will of God, and made 
unfpeakable {laughters, infomuchthat a lake two furlongs 
broad, near adjoining thereunto, being filled full, was 
feen running with blood. 

17 Then departed they from thence feven hundred 
and fifty furlongs, and came to Characa, unto the Jews 
that are called Tubieni. 

1 8 But as for Timotheus, they found him not in the 
places : for before he had difpatched any thing, he depart- 
ed from thence, having left a very ftrong garrifon in a 
.certain hold. 

19 Howbeit,Dofitheus and Sofi pater, who were of Mac- 
cabeus' captains, went forth, and flew thofe that Timo- 
t-heus had left in the fortrefs, above ten thoufand men. 

20 And Maccabeus ranged his army by bands, and fet 
$Dotit1ieus i| them over the bands, and went againft Timotheus, who 
** '"** tr ' had about him an hundred and twenty thoufand men of 

foot, and two thoufand and five hundred horfemen.

coming, he fent the women and children, and the other 
baggage, unto a fortrefs called Carnion : (for the town 
was hard to befiege, and uneafy to come unto, by reafon 
of the ftraitnefs of all the places.) 

22 But when Judas' firft band came in fight, the ene- 
mies, being fmitten with fear and terror through the ap- 
pearing of him that feeth all things, fled amain, one run- 
ning this way, another that way, fo as that they were often 
hurt of their own men, and wounded with the points of 
their own fwords. 

23 Judas alfo was very earneft in purfuing them, kill- 
ing thofe wicked wretches, of whom he flew about thirty 
thoufand men. 

24 Moreover, Timotheus himfelf fell into the hands 
of Dofitheus and Sofipater, whom he befought with much 
craft to let him go with his life, becaufe he had many of 
the Jews' parents, and the brethren of fome of them, 
who, if they put him to death, fhould not be regarded. 

25 So, when he had afltired them with many words that 
he would reftore them without hurt, according to the agree- 
ment they let him go, for the faving of their brethren. 

26 Then Maccabeus marched forth to Carnion, and to 
the temple of || Atargatis, and there he flew five and 
twenty thoufand perfons. 

27 And after he had put to flight and deftroyed them, 
Judas removed the hoft toward Ephron, a ftrong city, 
wherein Lyfias abode, and a great multitude of divers 
nations ; and the ftrong young men kept the walls, and 
defended them mightily : wherein alfo was great pro- 
vifion of engines and darts. 

28 But when Judas and his company had called -upon 
Almighty God, (who with his power breaketh the ftrength 
of his enemies) they won the city, and ftew twenty and 
five thoufand of them that were within. 

29 From thence they departed to Scythopolis which 
lieth fix hundred furlongs from Jerufalem. 

30 But when the Jews that dwelt there had teftified- 
that the Scythopolitans dealt lovingly with them, and en- 
treated them kindly in the time of their adverfity, 

3 1 They gave them thanks, defiring them to be friend- 
ly ftill unto them : and fo they came to Jerufalem, the 
feaftof the weeks' approaching. 

3 2 And after the feaji, called Penticoft, they went 
forth againft Gorgias the governor of Idumea. 

33 Who came out with three thoufand men of foot 
and four hundred horfemen. 

34 And it happened that, in their fighting together, a 
few of the Jews were flam. 

35 At which time Dofitheus, one of Bacenor's com- 
pany, who was on horfeback and a ftrong man, was ftill 
upon Gorgias, and taking hold of his coat drew him by 
force ; and when he would have taken that curfed man 
alive, a horfeman of Thracia coming upon him || fmote 
off his fhoulder, fo that Gorgias fled unto Marifa. 

36 Now when they that were with Gorgias had 
fought long, and were weary, Judas called upon the 
Lord, that he would fhew himfelf to be their helper and 
leader of the battle. 

3 7 And with that he began in his own language, and 
fung pfalms with a loud voice, and rufhing unawares upon 
Gorgias' men, he put them to flight. 

38 So Judas gathered his hoft, and came into the city 
of Odollam. And when the feventh day came, they 
purified themfelves, as the cuftom was, and kept the fab- 
bath in the fame place.

their fathers' graves. 

40 Now, under the coats of every one that was flain 
they found things confecrated to the idols of the Jamnites, 
which is forbidden the Jews by a the law. Then every 
man faw that this was the caufe wherefore they were flain. 

41 All men, therefore, praifing the Lord, the righteous

42 Betook themfelves unto prayer,. and befought him, 
that the fin committed might wholly be put out of remem 7

to keep themfelves from fin, forfomuch as they faw be- 
fore their eyes the things that came to pafs for the fins of 
thofe that were flain. 

43 And when he had made a gathering throughout; the 
company, to the fum of two thoufand drachms of filVer, 
he fent it to Jerufalem to offer a fin offering, doing there- 
in very well and honeftly, in that he was mindful of the 
refurrection : 

44 (For if he had not hoped that they that were flain 
fhould have rifen again, it had been fuperfluous and vain 
to pray for the dead.) 

45 And alfo, in that he perceived that there was great 
favour laid up for thofe that died godly. (It was an ho- 
ly and good thought.) Whereupon he made a reconcili- 
ation for the dead, that they might be delivered from fin. 

CHAP. XIII. 

I Eupator invadeth Judea. 8 Menelaus put to death. 9 
Judas attacketh the king's camp, CSV. 

IN the hundred forty and ninth year, it was told Judas, 
that Antiochus Eupator was coming with a great 
power into Judea. 

2 And with him Lyfias his protector and ruler of his 
affairs, having either of them a Grecian power, of foot- 
men an hundred and ten thoufand, and horfemen five 
thoufand and three hundred, and elephants two and twen- 
ty, and three hundred chariots armed with hooks. 

3 Menelaus alfo joined himfelf with them, and with 
great diflimulation encouraged Antiochus, not for the 
fafeguard of the country, but becaufe he thought to have 
been made governor. 

4 But the King of kings moved Antiochus' mind againft 
this wicked wretch, and Lyfias informed the king that 
this man was the caufe of all mifchief, fo that the _ king 
commanded to bring him unto Berea, and to put him to 
death, as the manner is in that place. 

5 Now, there was in that place a tower of fifty cubits 
high, full of allies, and it had a round inftrument, which 
on every fide hanged down into the alhes. 

6 And whofoever was condemned of facrilege, or had 
committed any other grievous crime, there did all men 
thruft him unto death. 

7 Such a death it happened that wicked man to die, not 
having fo much as burial in the earth, and that mod juftly : 

8 For inafmuch as he had committed many fins about 
the altar, whofe fire and afhes were holy, he received his 
death in afhes. 

9 Now the king came with a barbarous and haughty 
mind, to do far worfe to the Jews than had been done in 
his father's time. 

10 Which things when Judas perceived, he command- 
ed the multitude to call upon the Lord night and day,

that, if ever, at any other time, he would now alfo help 
them, being at the point to be put from their law, from 
their country, and from the holy temple : 

1 r And that he would not fuffer the people, that || had 
even now been but a little refrefhed, to be in fubjection 
to the blafphemous nations. 

12 So when they had all done this together, and be- 
fought the merciful Lord, with weeping and fafting, and 
lying fiat upon the ground, three days long, Judas, hav- 
ing exhorted them, commanded they fhould be in a rea- 
dinefs. 

13 And Judas, being apart with the elders, determin- 
ed before the king's hoft fhould enter into Judea, and 
get the city, to go forth and try the matter injight by the 
help of the Lord. 

14 So, when he had committed all to the || Creator of 
the world, and exhorted his foldiers to fight manfully, 
even unto death, for the laws, the temple, the city, the 
country, and the commonwealth, he camped by Modin : 

1 5 And having given the watchword to them that were 
about him, Victory is of God ; with the moft valiant and 
choice young men he went in into the king's tent by 
night, and flew in the camp about four thoufand men, and 
the chiefeft of the elephants, with all that were upon him. 

16 And at laft they filled the camp with fear and tu- 
mult, and departed with good fuccefs. 

17 This was done in the break of the day, becaufe the 
protection of the Lord did help him. 

1 8 Now, when the king had taken a tafte of the man- 
linefs of the Jews, he went about to take the holds by 
policy, 

19 And marched toward Bethfura, which was a flrong 
hold of the Jews ; but he was put to flight, failed, and 
loft of his men : 

20 For Judas had conveyed unto them that were in it, 
fuch things as were neceffary. 

21 But Rhodocus, who was in the Jews' hoft, difclofed 
the fecrets to the enemies ; therefore he was fought out, 
and when they had gotten him, they put him in prifon. 

22 The king treated with them in Bethfura the fecond 
time, gave his hand, took theirs, departed, fought with 
Judas, was overcome ; 

23 Heard that Philip, who was left over the affairs in 
Antioch || was defperately bent, confounded, entreated 
the Jews, fubmitted himfelf, and fware to all equal condi- 
tions, agreed with them, and offered facrifice, honoured 
the temple, and delt kindly with the place, 

24 And accepted well of Maccabeus, made him princi- 
pal governor from Ptolemais unto the Gerrhenians, 

25 Came to Ptolemais : the people there were griev- 
ed for the covenants ; for they ftormed, becaufe they 
would make their covenants void : 

26 Lyfias went up to the judgment feat, faid as much 
as could be, in defence of the caufe, perfuaded, pacified, 
made them well affected, returned to Antioch. Thus it 
went touching the king's coming and departing.

captain is Judas Maccabeus, nourifh war, and are fedi- 
tious, and will not let the realm be in peace : 

7 Therefore, I, being deprived of mine anceftors' hon- 
our, (I mean the high priefthood,) am now come hither : 

8 Firft, verily, for the unfeigned care I have of things 
pertaining to the king : and, fecondly, even for that I 
intend the good of mine own countrymen : for all our 
nation is in no fmall mifery, through the unadvifed deal- 
ing of them aforefaid. 

9 Wherefore, O king, feeing -thou knoweft all thefe 
things, be careful for the country and our nation, which 
Is preiTed on every fide, according to the clemency that 
thou readily fheweft unto all. 

io For as long as Judas liveth, it is not poflible that 
the ftate fhould be quiet. 

1 1 This was no fooner fpoken of him, but others of 
the king's friends, being malicioufly fet againft Judas, 
did more^ncenfe Demetrius. 

12 And forthwith, calling Nicanor, who had been 
mafter of the elephants, and making him governor over 
Judea, he fent him forth, 

1 3 Commanding him to flay Judas, and to fcatter them 
that were with him, and to make Alcimus high prieft of 
the great temple. 

14 Then the heathen, that had fled out of Judea from 
Judas, came to Nicanor by flocks, thinking the harm and 
calamities of the Jews to be their welfare. 

15 Now when the Jews heard of Nicanor's .coming, 
and that the heathen || were up againft them, they caft 
earth upon their heads, and made fupplication to him that 
had eftabliflied his people for ever, and who always help- 
eth his portion with manifeftation of his prefence. 

16 So, at the commandment of the captain, they re- 
moved ftraightways from thence, and came near unto 
them at the town of Deffau. 

17 Now Simon, Judas' brother, had joined battle 
*mth Nicanor, but was fomewhat difcomfited through the 
fudden filence of his enemies. 

1 8 Neverthelefs, Nicanor, hearing of the manlinefs of 
them that were with Judas, and the courageoufnefs that 
•they had to fight for thei* country, durft not try the mat- 
ter by-the fword. 

■19" Wherefore he fent Pofidonius, and Theodotus, 
and Mattathias to make peace. 

20 So, when they had taken long advifement there- 
upon, and the captain had made the multitude acquaint- 
ed therewith, and it appeared that they were all of one 
mind, they confented to the covenants, 

2 1 And appointed a day to meet in together by them- 
felves : and when the day came, and ftools were fet for 
either of them,

A B E TL S. which he afterwards T?reaketh, 

left fome treachery fhould be fuddenly praftifed by the 
enemies : fo they made a peaceable conference. 

53 Now Nicanor abode in Jerufalem, and did no hurt, 
but fent away the people that came flocking unto him. 

24 And he would not willingly have Judas out of his 
fight ; for he loved the man from his heart. 

25 He prayed him alfo to take a wife, and to beget 
children : fo he married, was quiet, and |l took part of 
this life. 

16 But Alcimus, perceiving the love that was betwixt 
them, and confidering the covenants that were made, 
came to Demetrius, and told him that Nicanor was not 
well affected toward the ftate •■, for that he had ordained 
Judas, a traitor to his realm, to be the king's fucceflbr. 

2-7 Then the king, being in a rage, and provoked with 
the accufations of the moft wicked man, wrote to Nica- 
nor, fignifying that he was much difpleafed with the cov- 
enants, and commanding him that he fhould fend Mac- 
cabeus prifoner, in all hafte, unto Antioch. 

28 When this came to Nicanor's hearing, he was much 
confounded in himfelf, and took it grievoufly that he 
fhould make void the articles which were agreed upon, 
the man being in no fault. 

29 But becaufe there was no dealing againft the king, 
he watched his time to accomplifh this thing by policy. 

30 Notwithstanding, when Maccabeus faw that Ni- l6 s* 
canor began to be churlifh unto him, and that he entreat- 
ed him more roughly than he was wont, perceiving that 
fuch four behaviour came not of good, he gathered to- 
gether not a few of his men, and withdrew himfelf from 
Nicanor. * 

3 1 But the other, knowing that he was notably pre- 
vented by Judas' policy, came into the great and holy 
temple, and commandedrfhe priefts, that were offering 
their ufual facrifices, to deliver him the man. 

3 2 And when they fware, that they could not tell where 
the man was whom he fought, 

33 He ftretched out his right hand toward the temple, 
and made an oath in this manner : If ye will not deliver 

me Judas fas a prifoner, I will lay this temple of God t Gr - **»** 
even with the ground, and I will break down the altar, 
and erect a notable temple unto Bacchus. 

34 After thefe words, he departed. Then the priefts 
lifted up their hands toward heaven, and befought him 
that was ever a defender of their nation, faying in this 
manner ■; 

35 Thou, O Lord of all things, who haft need of" 
nothing, waft pleafed that the temple of thine habitation, 
fhould be among us : 

36 Therefore now, O holy Lord of all holinefs, keep 
this houfe ever undefiled, which lately was cleanfed, and 
flop every unrighteous mouth. 

3 7 Now was there accufed unto Nicanor one Razis, 
one of the elders of Jerufalem, a lover of his country- 
men, and a man of very good report, who for his kind- 
nefs was called a father of the Jews. 

38 For in the former times, when they mingled not 
themfelves with the Gentiles, he had been accufed of Ju- 
daifm, and did boldly jeopard his body and life with all 
•vehemency for the religion of the Jews. 

39 "So Nicanor, willing to declare the hate that he bare 
unto the Jews, fent above five hundred men of war to 
take him. 

40 For he thought by taking hhn, to do the Jews 
moch hurt. 

41 Now, 










yudas encourageth his men. C H A 

41 Now, when the multitude would hare taken the 
tower, and violently broken into the outer door, and bade 
that fire fhould be brought to burn it, he, being ready to 
be taken on every fide, fell upon his fword ; 

42 Choofing rather to die manfully than to come into 
the hands of the wicked, to be abufed otherwife than be- 
feemed his noble birth : 

43 Bur miffing his ftroke through hafte, the multitude 
alfo rufhing within the doors, he ran boldly up to the wall, 
and call himielf down manfully among the thickeft of 
them. 

44 But they quickly giving back, and a fpace being 
made, he fell down into the midft of the void place. 

45 Neverthelefs, while there was yet breath within 
him, being inflamed with anger, he rofe up ; and though 
his blood gufhed out like fpouts of water, and his wounds 
were trievous, yet he ran -through the midfVof the throng ; 
and, {landing upon a fteep rock, 

46 When as his blood was now quite gone, he pluck- 
ed out his bowels, and taking them in both his hands, he 
caft them upon the throng ; and, calling upon the Lord 
of life and fpirit to reftore him thofe again, he thus died.

5 Nicanor' s blafphemy. 8 Judas enc$urageth his men by 
his dream. 28 Nicanor is Jlain. 

BU T Nicanor, hearing that Judas and his company 
were in the ftrong places about Samaria, refolved, 
without any danger, to fet uponthem on the fabbath day. 

2 Neverthelefs, the Jews that were compelled to go 
with him, faid, O deftroy not fo cruelly and barbaroufly, 
but give honour to that day, which he that feeth all things 
hath honoured with holinefs above other days. 

3 Then the moft ungracious wretch demanded, if there 
were a Mighty One in heaven, that had commanded the 
fabbath day to be kept *? 

4 And when they faid, There is in heaven a living Lord, 
and mighty, who commanded the feventh day to be kept : 

5 Then faid the other, And I alfo am mighty upon 
earth, and I command to take arms, and to do the king's 
bufinefs. Yet he obtained not to have his wicked will 
done. 

6 So Nicanor, in exceeding pride and haughtinefs, de- 
termined to fet up a public monument of his victory over 
Judas and them that were with him. 

7 But Maccabeus had ever fure confidence that the 
Lord would help him : 

8 Wherefore he exhorted his people not to fear the 
coming of the heathen againft them, but to remember 
the help which in former times they had received from 
heaven, and now to expect the victory and aid, which 
fhould come unto them from the Almighty. 

9 And fo comforting them out of the law and the 
prophets, and withal putting them in mind of the battles 
that they won afore, he made them more cheerful. 

10 And, when he had ftirred up their minds, he gave 
them their charge, fhewing them therewithal the falfe- 
hood of the heathen, and the breach of oaths. 

1 1 Thus he armed every one of them, not fo much 
with defence of fhields and fpears, as with comfortable 
and good words : and befides that, he told them a dream 
worthy to be believed, as if it had been fo indeed, which 
did not a little rejoice them. 

1 2 And this was his vifion : That Onias, who had 
been high prieft, a virtuous and a good man, reverend

in converfation, gentle in condition, well fpoken alio, and 
exercifed from a child, in all points of virtue, holding up 
his hands, prayed for the whole body of the Jews. 

1 3 This done, in like manner there appeared a man 
with gray hairs, and exceeding glorious, who was of a 
wonderful and excellent majefty. 

14 Then Onias anfwered, faying, This is a lover of 
the brethren, who prayeth much for the people, and for 
the holy city, to ivit> Jeremias the prophet of God. 

15 Whereupon Jeremias, holding forth his right hand, 
gave to Judas a fword of gold, and in giving it fpake thus, 

16 Take this holy fword, a gift from God, with the 
which thou fhalt wound the adverfaries. 

17 Thus, being well comforted by the words of Judas, 
which were very good, and able to ftir them up to valour, 
and to encourage the hearts of the young men, they de- 
termined not to pitch camp, but courageoufly to fet upon 
them, and manfully to try the matter by conflict, becaufe 
the city, and the fanctuary, and the temple, were in 
danger. 

1 8 For the care that they took for their wives and 
their children, their brethren, and kinsfolks, was in leaft 
account with them : but the greateft and principal fear 
was for the holy temple. 

19 Alfo they that were in the city took not the leaft 
care, being troubled for the conflict abroad. 

20 And now, when as all looked what fhould be the 
trial, and the enemies were already come near, and the 
army was fet in array, and the beafts conveniently placed, 
and the horfemen fet in wings, 

21 Maccabeus, feeing the coming of the multitude, 
and the divers preparations of armour, and the fierce- 
nefs of the beafts, ftretchedout his hands toward heaven, 
and called upon the Lord that worketh wonders, knowing 
that victory cometh not by arms, but even as it feemeth 
good to him, he giveth it to fuch as are worthy. 

22 Therefore, in his prayer, he faid after this manner ; 
O Lord, thou didft fend thine angel in the time of Eze- 
kias king of Judea, and didft flay in the hoft of Senna- 
cherib an hundred fourfcore and five thoufand : 

23 Wherefore now alfo, O Lord of heaven, fend a 
good angel before us, for a fear and dread unto them ; 

24 And through the might of thine arm, let thofe be 
ftricken with terror that come againft thy holy people to 
blafpheme. And he ended thus. 

25 Then Nicanor, and they that were with him, came 
forward with trumpets and fongs. 

26 But Judas and his company encountered the ene- 
mies with invocation and prayer. 

27 So that fighting with their hands, and praying unto 
God with their hearts, they flew no lefs than thirty and 
five thoufand men : for through the appearance of God 
they were greatly cheered. 

28 Now, when the battle was done, returning again 
with joy, they knew that Nicanor lay dead in his harnefs. 

29 Then they made a great fhout, and a noife, praiiing 
the Almighty in their own language. 

30 And Judas, who was ever the chief defender of 
the citizens both in body and mind, and who continued 
his love toward his countrymen all his life, commanded 
to ftrike ofFNicanor's head, and his hand with his fhoul- 
der, and bring them to Jerufalem. 

31 So, when he was there, and had called them of his 
nation together, and fet the priefts before the altar, he 
fent for them that were of the tower, 

32 And 




Nicanor's head hanged upon the tower. II. MAC 

32 And fhewed them vile Nicanor's head, and the 
hand of that blafphemer, which with proud brags he had 

' ftretched out againft the holy temple of the Almighty. 

33 And when he had cut out the tongue of that un- 
godly Nicanor, he commanded that they fhould give it 
by pieces unto the fowls, and hang up the reward of his 
madnefs before the temple. 

34 So every man praifed toward the heaven, the glori- 
ous Lord, faying, Blefied be he that hath kept his own 
place undefiled. 

35 He hanged alfo Nicanor's head upon the tower, an 
evident and manifeft fign unto all of the help of the Lord. 

36 And they ordained all with a common decree, in no 
cafe to let that day pafs without folemnity, but to cele- 




C A B E E S. The day to be kept with folemnity. 

brate the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which, in 
the Syrian tongue, is called Adar, the day before Mar- 
docheus' day. 

37 Thus went it with Nicanor ; and from that time 
forth the Hebrews had the city in their power. And 
here will I make an end. 

38 And if I have done well, and as is fitting the ftory, 
it is that which I defired ; but if flenderly and meanly, it 
is that which I could attain unto. 

39 For as it is hurtful to drink wine or water alone ; 
and as wine mingled with water is pleafant, and delight- 
eth the tafte ; even fo fpeech finely framed delighteth 
the ears of them that read the ftory. And here fhall be 
an end.

1 Wise men from the east come to Jerusalem to inquire, 
after Christ. 3 Herod is alarmed. 9 The wise men 
are directed by a star to Christ, and worship him, 
offering gifts. 13 Joseph fleeth with Jesus and 
bis mother into Egypt. 16 Herod's massacre. 19 
Upon Herod's death Christ is brought out of Egypt, 
and dwelleth at Nazareth. 

NOW, when a Jefus was born in Bethlehem of 
Judea, in the days of Herod the king, behold, 
there came wife men from the eaft to Jerufalem, 

2 Saying^ Where is he that is born king of the 
Jews ? for we have feen his ftar in the eaft, and are 
come to worfhip him. 

3 If When Herod the king had heard these things 
he w r as troubled j and all Jerufalem with him. 

4 And when he had gathered all the chief priefts 
and fcribes of the people together, he demanded of 
them where Chrift fhould be born. 

5 And they faid unto him, In Bethlehem of Judea : 
for thus it is written by the prophet. 

6 b And thou , Bethlehem, in the land of Juda, art 
not the leaft among the princes of Juda : for out of 
thee fhall come a Governor > thatfhall || rule my people

7 Then Herod, when he had privily called the wife 
men, inquired of them diligently what time the ftar 
appeared. 

8 And he fent them to Bethlehem, and faid, Go 
and fearch diligently for the young child ; and, when 
ye have found him, bring me word again, that I may- 
come and worfhip him alio. 

9 IF When they had heard the king they departed, 
and, lo, the ftar which they law in the eaft went before 
them, till it came and ftood over where the young 
child was* 

10 When they faw the ftar they rejoiced with ex- 
ceeding great joy. 

11 And, when they were come into the houfe, they 
faw the young child with Mary his mother, and fell 
down, and worfhipped him : and, when they had 
opened their treafures, they || prelented unto him gifts, 
gold, and frankincenfe, and myrrh.

fhould not return to Herod, they departed into their 
own country another way*

baptized of thee, and comelt thou to me ? 

15 And Jefus, anfwering, laid unto him, Suffer it to 
be so now : for thus it becometh us to fulfil all right- 
eoufnefs. Then he fuffered him. 

16 And Jefus, when he was baptized, went, up 
ftraightway out of the water ;. and, lo, the heavens 
were opened unto him, and he faw the Spirit of God 
defcending like a dove, and lighting upon him : 

17 And, lo, a voice from heaven, faying, This is 
my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleafed. 

C H A P. IV. 

I Christ fasteth forty days, is tempted, and ministered 
unto by angels : 12 be choelleth in Capernaum ; 17 
beginneth to preach ; 18 calleth Peter and Andrew, 
21 James and John; 23 teachethin the synagogues of 
Galilee, and healeth all manner of sickness anddisease. 

THEN was a Jefus led up of the fpirit into the wil- aM k arkI ,2; 
dernefs, to be tempted of the devil. u e4 '' 

2 And when he had faffed forty days and forty 
nights, he was afterward an hungered. 

3 And when the tempter came to him, he faid, If 
thou be the Ton of God, command that thefe ftones be 
made bread. 

4 But he anfweredand faid, It fs written, b Man 
fhall not live by bread alone, but by every word that 
proceedeth out of the mouth of God. 

5 Then the devil taketh him up into the holy city, 
and fetteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 

6 And faith unto him, If thou be the fon of God", 
caftthyfelf down : for it is written, c He fhall give his 
angels charge concerning thee ; and in their hands 
they fhall bear thee up, left at any time thou dalh thy 
foot againft a ftone. 

7 Jefus faid unto him, it is written again, d Thou dDcut.6i# 
fhalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 

_ 8 Again, the devil taketh him up into an exceeding 
high mountain, and fheweth him all the kingdoms of 
the world, and the glory of them ; 

9 And faith unto him,. All thele things will I give 
thee, if thou wilt fall down and worfhip me. 

10 Then faith Jefus unto him,. Get thee hence, Sa- 
tan : for it is written, e Thou fhalt worfhip the Lord g^ofo. 6 ' 5 ' 
thy God, and him only fhalt thou ferve. 

11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold,. angels An. Dom. 
came and miniftered unto him. 3 °" 

12 TI f Now, when Jefus had heard that John was £*££ijfe 

II caft into prifon he departed into Galilee : 

13 And, leaving Nazareth, he came and dwelt in 
Capernaum, which is upon the fea coaft, in the bor- 
ders of Zabulon and Nephthalim ; 

14 That it might be fulfilled which was fpoken by 
Efaias the prophet, faying, 

15 s The land of Zabulon, and the land of Neph- gisaiahji; 
thalim, by the way of the fea, beyond Jordan, Galilee 

of the Gentiles ; 

16 The people which fat in darknefs faw great light ; 
and to them which fat in the region and fliadow* of 
death light is fprung up. 

17 H h From that time Jefus began to preach, and h Marks 14; 
to fay, Repent : for the kingdom of heaven is at hand. 

18 IT 1 And Jefus, walking by the fea of Galilee, faw iMarkuft 
two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his bro- 
ther, calling a net into the fea : for they were fifhers.

-20 And they ftraightway left their nets and fol- 
lowed him. 

21 And going on from thence he faw other two 
brethren, James the son of Zebedee, and John his 
brother, in a fhip with Zebedee their lather, mending 
their nets ; and he called them. 

22 And they immediately left the fhip and their 
father, and followed him. 

23 1f And Jefus went about all Galilee, teaching in 
their fynagogues, and preaching the gofpel of the king- 
dom, and healing all manner of ficknels, and all man- 
ner of difeafe among the people, 

24 And his fame went throughout all Syria : and they 
brought unto him all fick people that were taken with 
divers difeafes and torments, and thole which were 
poiTeffed with devils, and thole which were lunatick, 
and thole that had the palfy, and he healed them. 

25 And there followed him great multitudes of peo- 
ple from Galilee, and from Decapolis, and from Jeru- 
ialem, andfwm Judea, and from bevond Jordan. 

CHAP. V. 
1 Christ beghineth his sermon on the mount, 3 declaring 
who are blessed: 13 he calleth his disciples the salt of 
the earth, and the light of the world ; by the simili- 
tudes of a city on an hill, and of a candle, he urgeth 
a good example .-17 that he came not to destroy but to 
fidfil the taw :2l he extendeth the precepts against 
murder, 27 adultery, 33 and false swearing : 38 he 
exhort eth to suffer patiently , &c. 

N D feeing the multitudes, he went up into a 

mountain ; and, when he was fet, his difciples 

came unto him : 

2 And he opened his mouth, and _taughtthem, faying, 

m 3 a Bleffed we the poor in fpirit : for theirs is the 

kingdom of heaven. 

4 Bleiled are they that mourn : for they fhall be 
comforted. 

5 b Bleffed are the meek : for they fhall inherit the 
earth. 

6 Bleffed are they which do hunger and thirft after 
righteoufnefs : c for they lhall be filled. 

7 Bleffed are the merciful : for they fhall obtain 
mercy. 

8 d Bleffedrt7rthepureinheart; for they fhall fee God. 

9 Bleiled arc the peace makers : for they lhall be 
called the children of God. 

10 e Bleffed are they which are perfecuted for right- 
eoufnefs' fake : for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 

1 1 Bleffed are ye when men fhall revile you, and 
■ Ptt. 4 1 4 . perfecute you, and lhall lay all manner of f evil againil

12 Rejoice, and be exceeding glad : for great is 
your reward in heaven : for fo perfecuted they the 
prophets which were before yon. 

13 If Ye are the fait of the earth : shut if the fait 
have loll his favour, wherewith lhall it be falted : it 
is thenceforth good for nothing but to be call out, and 
to be trodden under foot of men. 

14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that is fet 
on an hill cannot be hid. 

15 Neither do men h light a candle, and put it un- 
der * a bufhel, but on a candleftick, and it giveth light 
unto all that are in the houfe.

17 If Think not that I am come to deftroy the law or 
the prophets : I am not come to deftroy, but to fulfil. 

18 For verily I fay unto you, k Till heaven and 
earth pafs, one jot or one tittle lhall in no wile pals 
from the law, till all be fulfilled. 

19 J Whoibever, therefore, fhall break one of thefe 
leaft commandments, and lhall teach men fo, he fhall 
be called the leaft in the kingdom of heaven : but 
whoibever lhall do and teach them, the fame lhall be 
called great in the kingdom of heaven. 

20 For I fay unto you, That except your righteouf- 
nefs fhall exceed the righteousness of the fcribes and 
Pharifees, ye lhall in no cafe enter into the kingdom 
of heaven. 

21 II Ye have heard that it was faid || by them of 
old time, m Thou fhalt not kill ; and, whoibever fhall 
kill lhall be in danger of the judgment : 

22 But I fay unto you, That whofoever is angry 
with his brother without a caufe lhall be in danger of 
the judgment ; and whoibever lhall lay to his brother, 
|| Raca, fhall be in danger of the council ; but whofo- 
ever fhall fay, Thou fool, fliall be in danger of hell fire. 

23 Therefore, if thou bring thy gift to the altar, 
and there re membereft that thy brother hath aught 
againft thee ; 

24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy 
way ; firft be reconciled to thy brother, and then 
come and offer thy gift. 

25 n Agree with thine adverfary quickly, whiles thou 
art in the way with him ; left at any time the adver- 
fary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver 
thee to the officer, and thou be cait into priibn. 

26 Verily I fay unto thee, Thou fhalt by no means come 
out thence, till thou haft paid the uttermoft farthing. 

27 If Ye have heard that it was faid by them of old 
time, ° Thou ihalt not commit adultery : 

28 But I fay unto you, That whofoever looketh on 
a woman to lull after her, hath committed adultery 
with her already in his heart. 

29 p And if thy right eye || offend thee, pluck it out, 
and call it from thee : for it is profitable for thee that 
one of thy members fhould perifh, and not that thy 
whole body fhould be call into hell. 

30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, and 
call it from thee : for it is profitable for thee that one 
of thy members fhould perifh, and not that thy whole 
body fhould be call into hell. 

31 It hath been faid, ll Whofoever fliall put away 
his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement : 

32 But I fay unto you, That r whofoever lhall put 
away his wife, laving for the caufe of fornication, 
caufeth her to commit adultery : and whoibever lhall 
marry her that is divorced, committeth adultery. 

33 If Again, ye have heard that it hath been faid by 
them of old time, s Thou ihalt not forfwear thy fell", 
but fhalt perform unto the Lord thine oaths : 

34 But I fay unto you, Swear not at all : neither 
by heaven ; for it is God's throne : 

35 Nor by the earth ; for it is his footftool : neither 
by Jerufalem ; for it is the city of the great King : 

36 Neither fhalt thou fwear by thy head ; becaufe 
thou can ft not make one hair white or black. 

37 l Butlet your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, 
nay : for whatsoever is more than thefe cometh of evil. 

38 ff Ye have heard that it hath been laid, u An

.39 Bat I fay unto you, "That ye refift not evil : 
but whofoever fhall fmite thee on thy right cheek, 
turn to him the other alio. 

40 And if any man will fue thee at the law, and 
take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak alfo. 

41 And whofoever fhall compel thee to go a mile, 
go with him twain. 

42 Give to him that afketh thee ; and y from him 
that would borrow of thee turn not thou away. 

43 IF Ye have heard that it hath been faid, z Thou 
fhalt love thy neighbour and hate thine enemy : 

44 But I fay unto you, a Love your enemies, blefs 
them that curfe you, do good to them that hate you, 
and b pray for them which defpitefully ufe you, and 
perfecute you ; 

45 That ye may be the children of your Father 
which is in heaven : for he maketh his fun to rife on 
the evil and on the good, and fendeth rain on the juft 
and on the unjuft. 

46 c For if ye love them which love you, what re- 
ward have ye ? do not even the publicans the fame ? 

47 And if ye falute your brethren only, what do ye 
more than others ? do not even the publicans fo ? 

48 1[ Be ye, therefore, perfect, even as your Father 
which is in heaven is perfect. 

CHAP. VI. 
1 Christ continuing his sermon, gheth directions about 
alms giving, 5 prayer, \4> forgiving our brethren, 
16 fasting, 19 laying up treasure in heaven, 22 
keeping a single eye; 24 and exhorteth against 
anxiety about ivorldly things, but principally to 
seek God's kingdom and righteousness. 

TAKE heed that ye do not your alms before men, 
to be feen of them ; otherwife ye have no re- 
ward || of your Father which is in heaven. 

2 Therefore, a when thou doeft ^i;?*? alms, ||donot 
found a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in 
the fynagogues, and in the ftreets, that they may have 
glory of men. Verily I fay unto you , They have their 
reward. 

3 But when thou doeft alms, let not thy left hand 
know what thy right hand doeth ; 

4 That thine alms maj 7 be in fecret : . and thy Father. 
which feeth in fecret, himfelf fhall reward thee openly. 

5 IF And, when thou prayeft, thou lhalt not be as 
the hypocrites are: for they love to pray Handing in 
the fynagogues, and in the corners of the ftreets, that 
they may be feen of men. Verily I fay unto you, 
They have their reward. 

6 But thou, when thou prayeft, enter into thy clof- 
et ; and, when thou haft ihut thy door, pray to thy 
Father which is in fecret ; and thy Father, which 
feeth in fecret, iliall reward thee openly. 

7 But when ye pray, h ufe not vain repetitions, as 
the heathen do : for they think that they fhall be heard 
for their much fpeaking. 

8 Be not ye, therefore, like unto them : for your 
Father knoweth what things ye have need of before 
ye afk him. 

9 After this manner, therefore, pray ye : c Our Fa- 
ther which art in heaven ; Hallowed be thy name. 

10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in 
earth, as it is in heaven. 

1 1 Give us this day our daily bread. 

1 2 And forgive us our debts , as we forgive our debtors. 

13 And lead us not into temptation ; but deliver us 



from evil ; for thine is the kingdom, and the -power, 
and the glory, for ever. Amen. 

14 *FF tl For if ye forgive men their trefpaffes, your 
heavenly Father will alio forgive you : 

15 But if ye forgive not men their trefpaffes, nei- 
ther will your Father forgive your trefpaifes. 

16 IF Moreover, when ye faft, be not as the hypo- 
crites, of a fad countenance ; for they disfigure their 
faces, that they may appear unto men to fait. Verily 
I fay unto you, They have their reward. 

17 But thou, when thou faileft, anoint thine head, 
and waih thy face ; 

18 That thou appear not unto men to faft, but unto 
thy Father which is in fecret : and thy Father, which 
feeth in fecret, iliall reward thee openly. 

19 IF Lay not up for yourfelves treafures upon 
earth, where moth and ruft doth corrupt, and where 
thieves break through and ileal : 

20 e But lay up for yourfelves treafures in heaven, 
where neither moth nor ruft doth corrupt, and where 
thieves do not break through nor ileal. 

21 For where your treafure is, there will your 
heart be alfo. 

22 IF f The light of the body is the eye v if, therefore, 
thine eye be iingle, thy whole body iliall be full of light. 

23 But if thine eye be evil , thy whole body fhall 
be full of darknefs. If, therefore, the light that is in 
thee be darknefs, how great is that darknefs. 

24 IF e No man can ferve two mailers ; for either 
he will hate the one, and love the other ; or elfe he 
will hold to the one, and defpife the other. Ye can- 
not ferve God and mammon. 

25 Therefore I fay unto you, h Take no thought 
for your life, what ye fhall eat, or what ye fhall drink ; 
nor yet for your body, what ye iliall put on. Is not 
the life more- than meat, and the body than raiment ? 

26 Behold the fowls of the air : for they fow not, 
neither do they reap, nor gather into barns ; yet your 
heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much 
better than they ? 

27 Which of you, by taking thought, can add one 
cubit unto his itature ? 

28 And why take ye thought for raiment ? Cqnfider 
the lilies of the field how they grow : they toil not, 
neither do they fpin ; 

29 And yet I fay unto you, That even Solomon, 
in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of thefe. 

30 Wherefore, if God fo clothe the grafs of the field, 
which today is, and tomorrow is caft into the oven, 
shall he not much more clothe you ? O ye of little faith ! 

31 Therefore take no thought, faying, What fhall 
we eat, or, What iliall we drink ? or, Wherewithal 
fhall we be clothed ? 

32 (For after all thefe things do the Gentiles feek ;) 
for your heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need 
of all thefe things. 

33 But feek ye firjl the kingdom of God, andhis righ- 
teoufnefs ; and all thefe things fhall be added unto you. 

34 Take therefore, no thought for the morrow ; 
for the morrow fhall take thought for the things of 
itfelf. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

a TUDGE not, that ye be not judged. 
'■J- 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye fhall 
54 . be judged ; b and with what meafure ye mete, it (hall 
be meafured to you again. 

3 c And why beholdeft thou the mote that is in thy 
brother's eye, but confidereft not the beam that is in 
thine own eye ? 

4 Or how wilt thou fay to thy brother, Let me pull 
out the mote out of thine eye ; and, behold, a beam 
is in thine own eye ? 

5 Thou hypocrite ! firft call out the beam out of 
thine own eye ; and then lhalt thou fee clearly to can- 
out the mote out of thy brother's eye. 

6 "U Give not that which is holy to the dogs ; nei- 
ther caft ye your pearls before fwine, left diey trample 
them under their feet, and turn again and rend you. 

7 «f d Afk, and it fhall be given you j feek, and ye 
fhall find ; knock, and it fhall be opened unto you : 

8 For every one that afketh, receiveth ; and he that 
feeketh, findeth ; and to him that knocketh, it fhall 
be opened. 

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his fon afk 
bread, will he give him a ftone ? 

10 Or if he afk a fifh, will he give him a ferpent ? 

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good 
gifts unto your children, how much more fhall your 
Father which is in heaven give good things to them 
that afk him I 

12 Therefore, all things e whatfoever ye would that 
men fhould do to you, do ye even fo to them : for 
this is the law and the prophets. 

13 If f Enter ye in at the ftrait gate ,* for wide w the 
gate, and broad is the way, that leadethto deftruclion, 
and many there be which go in thereat : 

1 4 || Becaufe ftrait is the gate, and narrow is the way, 
which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 

15 H Beware of falfe prophets, which come to you in 
fheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves*. 

16 Ye fhall know them by their fruits. g Do men 
gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thiftles. 

17 Even fo, every good tree bringeth forth good 
fruit ; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 

18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, nei- 
ther can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 

19 h Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is 
hewn clown, and caft into the fire. 

20 Wherefore by their fruits ye fhall know them. 

21 II Not every one that faith unto me, ! Lord, 
Lord, fhall enter into the kingdom of heaven ; but he 
that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. 

22 Many will fay unto me in that day, Lord, Lord, 
have we not prophefied in thy name ? and in thy 
name have caft out devils ? and in thy name done 
many wonderful works ? 

23 And k then will I profefe unto them, I never 
knew you : ' depart from me, ye that \v,ork iniquity. 

24 II Therefore, m whofoever heareth thefe layings 
of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wife 
man, which built his houfe upon a rock : 

25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, 
and the winds blew, and beat upon that houfe ; and 
it fell not : for it was founded upon a rock. 

26 And every one that heareth thefe fayings of

unto a 
foolifh man, whichbuilt his houfe upon the land : 

27 And the rain defcended, and the floods came, 
and the winds blew, and beat upon that houie ; and 
it fell, and great was the fall of it. 

28 H And it came to pafs, when Jefus had ended 
thefe fayings, n the people were aftonifhed at his doc- 
trine ; 

29 For he taught them as one having authority, and 
not as the fcribes. 

CHAP. VIII. 
2 Christ cleanseth the leper, 5 healeth the centurion' 's 
servant, 14 Peter's mother in law, 16 and many 
other diseased: 18 sheweth how he is to be follow- 
ed ; 23 stilkth the tempest on the sea ; 28 drvoeth 
the devils out of two men possessed, and suffereth 
them to go into the swine. 

HEN he was come down from the mountain, 
great multitudes followed him. 

2 a And, behold, there came a leper and worfhip- 
ped him, faying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canft make 
me clean. 

3 And Jefus put forth his hand, and touched him, 
faying, I will : be thou clean. And immediately his. 
leprofy was cleanfed. 

4 And Jefus faith unto him, See thou tell no man ; 
but go thy way, fhew thyfelf to the prieft, and offer 
the gift that b Moles commanded for a teftimony unto 
them. 

5 a il c And when Jefus was entered into Capernaum, 
there came unto him a centurion,, befeeching him, 

6 And faying, Lord, my fervant lieth at home nek 
of the palfy, grievoufly tormented. 

7 And Jefus faith unto him, I will come and heal him, 

8 The centurion anfwered, andfaid, Lord, I am not 
worthy that thou fhouldeft come under my roof ; but 
fpeak the word only, and my fervant fhall be healed. 

9 For I am a man under authority, having foldiers 
under me ; and I fay to this man, Go, and he goeth ; 
and to another, Come, and he cometh ; and to my 
fervant, Do this,, and he doeth it. 

10 When Jefus heard it he marvelled, and faid to. 
them that followed, Verily I fay unto you,. I have not 
found fo great faith, no, not in "Ifrael.. 

1 1. And I fay unto you, That many fhall come from 
theeaftand weft, and fhall fit down with Abraham,

and the birds of the air have neils ; but the Son of man 
hath not where to lay his head. 

21 And another of his difciples faid unto him, 
Lord, fuffer me firft to go and bury my father.

the dead bury their dead. 

_ 23 IF And when he was entered into a fhip, his dif-

24 h And, behold, there arofe a great tempeft in

faying, Lord, fave us ; we perifh. 

26 And he faith unto them, Why are ye fearful ? O 
ye of little faith ! Then he arofe, and rebuked the 
winds and the fea ; and there was a great calm. 

27 But the men marvelled, laying, What manner 
of man is this, that even the winds and the fea obey 
him ! 

28 IF 5 And when he was come to the other fide, into 
the country of the Gergefenes, there met him two 
poffeifed with devils coming out of the tombs, exceed- 
ing fierce, fo that no man might pafs by that way. 

29 And, behold, they cried out, faying, What have 
we to do with thee, Jefus, thou Son of God : art thou 
come hither to torment us before the time ? 

30 And there was a good way off from them an 
herd of many fwine feeding. 

31 So the' devils befougfithim, faying, If thou caft 
us out, fuffer us to go away into the herd of fwine. 

32 And he faid unto them, Go. And, when they 
were come out, they went into the herd of fwine ; and, 
behold, the whole herd of fwine ran violently down 
a fteep place into the fea, and perifhed in the waters. 

33 And they that kept them fled, and went their 
ways into the city, and told every thing ; and what 
was befallen to the poffeffed of the devils.

Jefus : and, when they faw him, they befought him

8 But when the multitude law it they marvelled, and 
glorified God which had given fuch power unto men. 

9 H b And, as Jefus paffed forth from thence, he 
faw a man named Matthew, fitting at the receipt of 
cuftom : and he faith unto him, Follow me. And 
he arofe and followed him. 

10 II And it came to pafs, as Jefus fat at meat in the 
houfe, behold, many publicans and linners came, and 
fat down with him and his difciples. 

11 And when the Pharifees few it, they faid unto 
his difciples, Why eateth your Mailer with publicans 
and finners ? 

12 But, when Jefus heard that, he faid unto them, 
They that be whole need not a phylician, but they 
that are lick. 

13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, c I will 
have mercy, and not facrifice : for I am not come to 
call the righteous, d but linners to repentance. 

14 IF Then came to him the difciples of John, fay- 
ing, 6 Why do we and the Pharifees fail oft, but thy 
difciples fail not . ? 

15 And Jefus faid unto them, Can the children of 
the bride chamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom 
is with them ? but the days will come when the bride- 
groom fhall be taken from them, and then fhall they 
fail. 

16 No man putteth a piece of H new cloth unto an 
old garment ; for that which is put in to fill it up tak- 
eth from the garment, and the rent is made worfe. 

1 7 Neither do men put new wine into old bottles ; 
elfe the bottles break, and the wine runneth out, and 
the bottles peril Ti, but they put new wine into new 
bottles, and both are preferved. 

18 IF f While he fpake thefe things unto them, be- 
hold, there came a certain ruler and worfhipped him, 
faying, my daughter is even now dead : but come and 
lay thy hand upon her and fhe fhall live. 

19 And Jefus arofe and followed him, and so didhis 
difciples. 

20 IF (And, behold, a woman, which wasdifeafed 
with an iifue of blood twelve years, came behind him, 
and touched the hem of his garment : 

21 For fhe faid within herfelf, If I may but touch 
his garment I fhall be whole. 

22 But Jefus turned him about ; and, when he faw 
her, he faid, Daughter, be of good comfort : thy faith 
hath made thee whole. And the woman was made 
whole from that hour.) 

23 U And 'when Jefus came into the ruler's houfe, 
and faw the minftrels, and the people making a noiie, 

24 He faid unto them, Give place ; for the maid is 
not dead, but ileepeth. And they laughed him to fcorn. 

25 But when the people were^ut forth he went in, 
and took her by the hand, and the maid arofe. 

26 And It the fame hereof went abroad into all that 
land. 

27 IF And when Jefus departed thence, two blind 
men followed him, crying, and faying, Thou fon of 
David, have mercy pn us. 

28 And when he was come into the houfe the 
blind men came to him : and Jefus faith unto them, 
Believe ye that I am able to do this ? They faid unto 
him, Yea, Lord. 

29 Then touched he their eyes, faying, According 
to your faith be it unto you. 

30 And their eyes were opened : and Jefus ftraitly 
charged them, faying, See that no man know it.

32 H s As they went out, behold, they brought to

33 And when the devil was call out, the dumb 
fpake ; and the multitudes marvelled, faying, It was

difeafe among the people. 

36 II k But when he law the multitudes, he was mov-

were fcattered abroad, ' as iheep having no ihepherd. 

37 Then faith he unto his difciples, m The harveil

he will fend forth labourers into his harveft,

1 Christ sendeth forth his twelve apostles : 5 he in- 
structeth them ; 16 andforexvarnetb them of perse- 
cutions, &c. 40 Blessings promised to those who 
should receive them. 

AND a when he had called unto him his twelve dif- 
ciples, he gave them power || against unclean 
ipirits, to call them out, and to heal all manner of 
ficknefs, and all manner of difeafe. 

2 Now the names of the twelve apoftles are thefe ; 
The firft, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew 
his brother ; James the son of Zebedee, and John his 
brother ; 

3 Philip, and Bartholomew ; Thomas, and Mat- 
thew the publican ; James the son of Alpheus, and 
Lebbeus, whofe furname was Thaddeus ; 

4 Simon the Canaanite, and Judas Ifcariot, who 
aifo betrayed him. 

5 1 Thefe twelve Jefus fent forth, and commanded 
them, faying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and 
into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not : 

6 But b go rather to the loft Iheep of the houfe of 
Ifrael. 

7 And, as ye go, preach, faying, c The kingdom of 
heaven is at hand. 

8 Heal the fiek, cleanle the lepers, raife the dead, 
call out devils : freely ye have received, freely give. 

9 d || Provide neither gold, nor filver, nor brafs, in 
your purfes, 

10 Nor fcrip for your journey, neither two coats, 
neither fhoes, nor yet ftaves : e for the workman is 
worthy of his meat. 

1 1 f And into whatsoever city or town ye fhall enter, 
inquire who in it is worthy ; and there abide till ye 
go thence. 

12 And when ye come into an houfe, falute it. 

13 And if the houie be worthy, let your peace 
come upon it : but if it be not worthy, let your peace 
return to you. 

14 e And whofoever fhall not receive you, nor hear 
your words, when ye depart out of that houfe or city, 

• h f hake off the dull of your feet. 

15 Verily I fay unto you, It {hall be more tolerable 
for the land of Sodom and Gomorrha in the day of 
judgment than for that city. 

16 H \ Behold, I fend you forth as flieep in the midft 



of wolves : be ye, therefore, wife as ferpents, and 
!| harmlefs as doves. 

17 But beware of men ; for they will deliver you 
up to the councils, and they will fcourge you in their 
fynagogues : 

_ 18 And ye fhall be brought before governors and 
kings for my fake, for a teltimony againlt them and 
the Gentiles. 

19 k But when they deliver you up, take no thought 
how or what ye fhall fpeak ; lor it lhuil be given you 
in that fame hour what ye ihall fpeak. 

20 For it is not ye that fpeak, but the Spirit of your 
Father which fpeaketh in you. 

21 : And the brother lhall deliver up the brother to 
death, and the father the child : and the children fhall 
rife up againft their parents, and caufe them to be put 
to death. 

22 And ye fhall be hated of all men for my name's 
fake ; m but he that endureth to the end lhall be lined. 

23 But when they periecute you in this city, flee ye 
into another : for verily I fay unto you, Ye lhall not 
|| have gone over the cities of Ifrael "till the Son of man 
be come. 

24 "■ The difciple is not above his mailer, nor the 
fen-ant above his lord. 

25 It is enough for the difciple that he be as his 
mailer, and the iervant as his lord. If they have called 
the mailer of the houfe Beelzebub, how 'much more 
shall they call them of his houiehold ? 

26 Fear them not, therefore : ° for there is nothing 
covered that lhall not be revealed ; and hid, that fhall 
not be known. 

27 What I tell you in darknefs, that fpeak ye in 
light ; and what ye hear in the ear, that preach ye up>- 
on the houfetops. 

28 p And fear not them: which kill the bod}', but are 
not able to kill the foul ; but rather fear him which is 
able to deflroy both foul and body in hell. 

29 Are not two fparrows fold for a * farthing ? and 
one of them ihall not fall on the ground without your 
Father. 

30 q Butthe very hairs of your head are allnumbcred. 

31 Fear ye not, therefore ; ye are of more value 
than many fparrows. 

32 'Whofoever, therefore, fhall confefs me before 
men, him will I confefs alfo before my Father which 
is in heaven. 

33 s But whofoever fhall deny me before men, him 
will I alfo deny before my Father which is in heaven. 

34 ' Think not that I am come to fend peace on 
earth : I came not to fend peace, but a fword. 

# 35 For I am come to fet a man at variance u againft 
his father, and the daughter againft her mother, and 
the daughter in law againft her mother in law. 

36 And a man's foes shall be thev of his own houfe - 
hokl. 

37 x He that loveth father or mother more than me, 
is not worthy of me ; and he that loveth ion or daugh- 
ter more than me, is not worthy of me : 

38 y And he that taketh not his crofs and folio weth 
after me, is not worthy of me. 

39 ■ He that findeth his life ihall lofe it ; and he that 
lofeth his life for my fake ihall iind it.

penitency : 25 he thankeththe Father for revealing 
his gospel to the simple only ; 28 and inviteth the 
veary to partake of hh rest. 
ND it came to pafs, when Jefus had made an end 
of commanding his twelve difciples, he departed 
thence to teach and to preach in their cities, 

2 If a Now when John had heard in the prifon the 
works of Chrift, he fent two of his difciples, 

3 And faid unto him, Art thou he that fhould come, 
or do we look for another ? 

4 Jefus anfwered, and faid unto them, Go and fhew 
John again thofe things which ye do hear and fee : 

5 b The blind receive their light, and the lame walk ; 
the lepers are cleanfed, and the deaf hear ; the dead 

cisaiah5i i. are raifed up, and c the poor have the gofpel preached 
to them. 

6 And bleffed ishe, whofoever fhall not be offended 
in me. 

7 IT And, as they departed, Jefus began to fay unto 
the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out in- 
to the wildernefs to fee ? A reed fhaken with the wind ? 

8 But what went ye out for to fee ? A man clothed 
in foft raiment •? Behold, they that wear foft clothing 
are in kings' houfes. 

9 But what went ye out for to fee ? A prophet ? yea, 
I fay unto you, and more than a prophet. 

10 For this is he of whom it is written, d Behold, I 
fend my meffenger before thy face, which ihall pre- 
pare thy way before thee. 

1 1 Verily I fay unto you, Among them that are 
born of women there hath not rifen a greater than 
John the Baptift : notwithftanding he that is leaft in 
the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 

12 e And from the days of John the Baptift-, until

the violent take it by force. 

13 For all the prophets and the law prophefied un-

repented not. 

21 Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Beth- 
faida S for if the mighty works which were done in 
you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would

1 Christ allege th scripture in excuse of his disciples 
charged with breaking the sabbath : 9 he appealeth 
to reason, andhealeth the withered hand: 22 he heal- 
eth a man possessed, who ivas blind and dumb : 24 he 
confuteth the absurd charge of casting out devils by 
Beelzebub, andsheweth that blasphemy against, the 
Holy Ghost shall never be for given ; and that every 
idle word must bc-accountedfor : 33 he rebuketh those 
who sought of him a sign, &c. 

AT that time a Jefus went on the fabbath day 
through the corn; and his difciples were anhun- 
gered, and began to pluck the ears of corn, and to eat. 

2 But when the Pharifees few it, they_ faid unto 
him, Behold, thy difciples do that which is not law- 
ful to do upon the fabbath day. 

3 But he faid unto them, Have ye not read b what h j^- 
Da^id did when he was an hungered, and they that 
were with him; 

4 How he entered into the houfe of God, and did 
eat the fhewbread, which was Hot lawful for him to

10 And, behold, mere was a man which had ms

11 And he laid unto them, What man mail there

S3 Eidier make the tree good, and his fruit good ; 
or elfe make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt ; 
for the tree is known by his fruit. 

34 O generation of vipers ! how can ye, being evil, 
fpeak good things ? l for out of die abundance of the 
heart the mouth fpeaketh. 

35 A good man, out of die good treafure of die 
heart, bringeth forth good tilings ; and an evil man, 
out of die evil treafure, bringeth forth evil thii 

36 But I fay unto you, That every idle word 
men fhall fpeak, they Ihall give account thereof in the 
day of judgment. 

37 For by thy words thou fhalt be juftified, and by 
thy words thou fhalt be condemned. 

38_ If m Then certain of the- fcribes and of the 
Pharifees anfwered, faying, Mafter, we would fee a 
fign from thee. 

39 But he anfwered and faid unto them, An evil 
and adulterous generation feeketh after a fign ; and 
there fliali no Ggn be given to it, but the fign of the 
prophet Jonas. 

40 n For as Jonas was three days and three nights njooAxir 
in the whale's belly ; fo Ihall the Son of man be three 

daj's and three nights in the heart of die earth. 

41 The men of Nineveh fhall rife in judgment with 

diis generation, and fhall condemn it : ° became they °j™»*35 
repented at the preaching of Jonas ; and, behold, a 
greater than Jonas is here. 

42 - c The queen of the fouth fliali rife up in die 
judgment with this generation, and fhall condemn it : 
forme came from the uttermeft parts of the eardi to 
hear die wifdom of Solomon ; and, behold, a greater 
dian Solomon is here. 

43 q When die unclean fpirit is gone out of a man, g^*** 11 
he walketh through dry places, feeking reft, and ftnd- 
eth none. 

44 l hen he faith, I will return into my houfe from 
whence I came out ; and, when he is come, he findeth 
it empty, fwept, and gamifhed. 

45 Then goeth he, and taketh with himfelf feven 
other fpirits more wicked than himfelf, and they enter 
in, and dwell there : r and die laft state of that man is 
worfe than the firft. Even fo ihall it be alfo unto this 
wicked generation. 

46 Tf While he yet talked to the people, s behold, his 
mother and his brethren flood without, denring to 
fpeak with him. 

4 7 Then one faid unto him , Behold, thy modier, and 
thy brethren ftand w ithout, defiring to fpeak widi thee. 

48 But he anfwered, and faid unto him that told 
him, Who is my mother ? and who are my brethren ? 

49 And he ftretched forth his hand toward his dif- 
ciples, and faid, Behold my mother and my brethren ! 

50 For whofoever fliali do the will of my Father

unto him, fo that he went into a fhip and fat j and 
the whole-multitude flood on the ihore. 

3 And he fpakemany things unto them in parables, 
faying, b Behold, a fower went forth to low : 

4 Anjd, when he fowed, fome seeds fell by the way 
fide ; and the fowls came and devoured them up. 

5 Some fell upon flony places, where they had not 
much earth ; and forthwith they fprung up, becaufe 
they had no deepnefs of earth : 

6 And when the fun was up they were fcorched ; 
and, becaufe they had no root, they withered away. 

7 And fome fell among thorns ; and the thorns 
fprung up and choked them. 

8 But other fell into good ground, and brought 
forth fruit, fome an hundred fold, fome fixty fold, 
fome thirty fold. 

9 Who hath ears to hear, let him hear. 

10 "H And the difciples came and faid unto him, 
Why fpeakefl thou unto them in parables ? 

11 He anfwered and faid unto them, Becaufe it is 
given unto you to know the myfteries of the kingdom 
of heaven, but to them it is not given. 

c chap. 23 29. 12 c For whofoever hath, to him (hall be given, and 
he fhall have more abundance : but whofoever hath 
not, from him fhall be taken away even that he hath. 

13 Therefore fpeak I to them in parables : becaufe 
they feeing, fee not ; and hearing, they hear not ; 
neither do they, underftand. 

14 -And in them is fulfilled the prophecy of Efaias, 
which faith, d By hearing ye fhall hear, and fhall not 
underftand : and feeing ye fhall fee, and fhall not 
perceive : 

.15 For this people's heart is waxed grofs, and their 
ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have 
clofed : left at any time they fhould fee with their eyes, 
and hear with their ears, and fhould underftand with 
their heart, and fhould be converted, and I fhould 
heal them. 

16 But e bleffed are your eyes, for they fee ; and 
your ears, for they hear. 

17 For verily I fay unto you, That many prophets 
and righteous men have defired to fee those things 
which ye fee, and have not feen them ; and to hear 
those things which ye hear, and have not heard them. 

18 II Hear ye, therefore, the parable of the fower. 

19 When any one heareth the word of the king- 
dom, and underftandeth it not, then cometh the wick- 
ed one, and catcheth away that which was fown in his 
heart, This is he which received feed by the way fide. 

20 But he that received the feed into ftony places, 
the fame is he that heareth the word and anon with 
joy receiveth it : 

21 Yet hath he not root in himfelf, but dureth for 
a while ; for when tribulation or perfecution arifeth 
becaufe of the word, by and by he is offended. 

22 He alfo that received feed among the thorns, is 
he that heareth the word-; and the care of this world, 
and the deceitfulnefs of riches, choke the word, and 
he becometh unfruitful. 

23 But he that received feed into the good ground 
is he that heareth the word, and underftandeth it ; 
which alfo beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, fome an 
hundred fold, fome fixty, fome thirty. 

24 U Another parable put he forth unto them, fay- 
ing, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man 
which fowed good feed in his field :

25 But while men flept, his enemy came, and fow- 
ed tares among the wheat,, and went Ins way. 

26 But when the blade was fprung up, and brought 
forth fruit, then appeared the tares aifo. 

27 So the fervants of the houfeholder came and faid 
unto him, Sir, didft not thou fow good feed in thv 
field ? from whence then hath it tares ? 

28 He faid unto them, An enemy hath done this. 
The fervants faid unto him, Wilt thou then that we 
go and gather them up ? 

29 But he faid, Nay ; left, while ye gather up the 
tares, ye root up alfo the wheat with them. 

30 Let both grow together until the harveft : and' 
in the time of harveft I will fay to the reapers, Gather 
ye together firft the tares, and bind them in bundles, 
to burn them ; but gather the wheat into my barn. 

31 IT Another parable put he forth unto them, fay- 
ing, f The kingdom of heaven is like to a grain of 
milliard feed, which a man took and fowed in his field* 

32 Which indeed is the leaft of ail feeds; but when 
it is grown, it is the greateft among herbs, and be- 
cometh a tree: fo that the birds of the air come and 
lodge in the branches thereof. 

_ 33 H « Another parable fpake he unto them ; The 
kingdom, of heaven is like unto leaven, which a wo- 
man took, and hid in three *meafures of meal,, till 
the whole was leavened. 

34 h All thefe things fpake Jefus unto the multi- 
tude in parables ; and without a parable fpake he not Xt^^l' 
unto them : utuemore 

35 That it might be fulfilled which was fpoken by raMs+33 
the prophet, faying, * I will open my mouth, in para- iPsaim-^ 
bles ; I will utter things which have been kept lecret 

from the foundation of the world. 

36 If Then Jefus fent the multitude away, and 
w r ent into the houfe ; and his difciples came unto 
him, faying, Declare unto us the parable of the tares 
of the field. 

37 He anfwered and faid unto them, He that fow- 
eth the good feed is the Son of man ; 

38 The field is the world ; the good feed are the 
children of the kingdom ; but the tares are the chil- 
dren of the wicked one ; 

39 The enemy that fowed them is the devil ; k the |Joei3»3- 
harveft is the end of the w r orld ; and the reapers are ev,I4,i " 
the angels. 

40 As therefore the tares are gathered and burned 
in the fire ; fo fhall it be in the end of this world. 

41 The Son of man fhall fend forth his angels, and 
they fhall gather out of his kingdom all || things that )°% ial . 
offend, and them which do iniquity, 

42 And fhall call them into a furnace of fire ; there 
fhall be wailing and gnafhing of teeth. 

43 'Then fhall the righteous . fhine forth as the 1D ^- 1:! ?' 
fun in the kingdom of their Father. Who hath ears 

to hear, let him hear. 

44 H Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto 
treafure hid in a field ; the which when a man hath 
found he hideth, and, forjoy thereof, goeth and felleth 
all that he hath, and buyeth that field. 

45 H Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a 
merchantman feeking goodly pearls. 

46 Who, when he had found one pearl of great 
price, went and fold all that he had, and bought it. 

47 IT Again, the kingdom of heaven is like unto a 
net that wascafl into the fea, and gathered of every kind :

49 So fhall it be at the end of the world : the angels 
fhall come forth, and fever the wicked from among

50 And (hall call them into the furnace of fire ;

51 Jefus faith unto them, Have ye underflood all 
thefe things ? They fay unto him, Yea, Lord. 

52 Then faid he unto them, Therefore every fcribe 
which is inftrucled unto the kingdom of heaven is like 
unto a man that is an houfeholder, which bringeth 
forth out of his treafure things new and old. 

53 H And it came to pals, that, when Jefus had 
finilhed thefe parables, he departed thence. 

54 m And when he was come into his own country, 
he taught them in their fynagogue, infomuchthat they 
were aftonifhed, and laid, Whence hath this man this 
wifdom, and these mighty works ? 

55 n Is not this the carpenter's fon t is not his mo- 
ther called Mary ? and his brethren James, and Jofes, 
and Simon, and Judas ? 

56 And his fillers, are' they not all with us ? whence 
then hath this man all thefe things ? 

57 And they were offended in him. But Jefus faid 
unto them, ° A prophet is not without honour, fave in 
his own country, and in his own houfe. 

58 And he did not many mighty works there, be- 
caufe of their unbelief.

had heard thereof, they followed him on foot out of

14 And Jefus went forth, and faw a great multitude,

healed their fick. 

_ 15 { And when it was evening his difciples came to j^ 1 ?'. 35,

16 But Jefus faid unto them, They need not de- 
part ; give ye them to eat. 

17 And they fay unto him, We have here but five 
loaves, and two nines. 

18 He faid, Bring them hither to me. 

19 And he commanded the multitude to fit down on 
the grafs, and took the five loaves and the two fifhes, 
and, looking up to heaven, he blehed, and brake, and 
gave the loaves to bis difciples, and the difciples to 
the multitude.

took up of the fragments that remained, twelve bas- 
kets full. 

21 And they that had eaten were about five thou- 
fand men, belide women and children. 

22 If And ftraightway Jefus conftrained his difciples 
to get into a fhip, and to go before him unto the other 
fide, while he fent the multitudes away. 

23 g And, when he had fent the multitudes away, he g Mark 646, 
went up into a mountain apart to pray: h and, when hjohndc. 
the evening was come, he was there alone. 

24 But the ihip was now in the midll of the fea 
toffed with waves i for the wind was contrary. 

25 And in the fourth watch of the night, Jefus went 
unto them walking on the fea. 

26 And when the difciples faw him walking on the 
fea, they were troubled, faying, It is a fpirit : and they 
cried out for fear. 

27 But ftraightway Jefus fpake unto them, faying, 
Be of good cheer ; it is I ; be not afraid. 

28 And Peter anfwered him, and faid, Lord, if it 
be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 

29 And he faid, Come. And when Peter was come

10 he tecicheth what defileth and what doth not de- 
file a man : 21 he healeth the daughter of a %vo?nan 
of Canaan, 29 and great multitudes, near the sea of 
Galilee : 32 he feedeth four thousand with seven 
loaves and a few small fishes. 

THEN a came to Jefus fcribes and Pharifees, which 
were of Jerufalem, faying, 

2 Why do thy difciples tranfgrefs the tradition of 
the elders ? for they waili not their hands when they 
eat bread. 

3 But he anfwered, and faid unto them, Why do ye 
alio < tranfgrefs the commandment of God by your 
tradition ? 

4 For God commanded, faying, b Honour thy 
father and mother : and, c He that curfeth lather or 
mother, let him die the death. 

5 But ye fay, Whofoever fhall fay to his father or 
his mother, d It is a gift, by whatfoever thou mighteft 
be profited by me ; 

6 And honour not his father or his mother, he shall 
be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of 
God of none effecl by your tradition. 

7 Te hypocrites ! well did Efaias prophefyof you, 
faying, 

8 e This people draweth nigh unto me with their 
mouth, and honoureth me with their lips ; but their 
heart is far from me. 

9 But in vain they do worfhip me, teaching for 
doctrines the commandments of men. 

10 If f And he called the multitude, and faid unto 
them. Hear, and underitand : 

1 1 Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth 
a man ; but that which comethout of the mouth, this 
defileth a man, 

12 Then came his difciples, and faid unto him, 
Knoweft thou that the Pharifees were offended after 
they heard this faying ? 

13 But he anfwered and faid, s Every plant which my 
heavenly Father hath not planted, fhall be rooted up. 

14 Let them alone : h they be blind leaders of the 
blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both fhall fall 
into the ditch. 

15 i Then anfwered Peter, and faid unto him, De- 
clare unto us this parable. 

16 And Jefus faid, Are ye alfo yet without under- 
ftanding ? 

17 Do not ye yet under Hand, that whatfoever en - 
tereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is call 
cut into the draught : 

18 But thofe things which proceed out of the mouth 
come forth from the heart, and they defile the man ? 

19 k For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, 
murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, falfe witnefs, 
blafphemies ; 

20 Thefe are the things which defile a man : but 
to eat with unwafhen liands defileth not a man. 

21 II l Then Jefus went thence, and departed into 
the coalts of Tyre and Sidon. 

22 And, behold, a woman of Canaan came out of 
the fame coafts, and cried unto him, faying, Have 
mercy on me, O Lord, thou Son of David ; my 
daughter is grievouily vexed with a devil. 

23 But he anfwered her not a word. And his dif- 
ciples came and befought him, faying, Send her away ;

the children's bread, and tocaft it to dogs. 

27 And fhe faid, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat 
of the crumbs which fall from their matter's table. 

28 Then Jefus anfwered, and faid unto her, O wo- 
man, great is thy faith : be it unto thee even as thou 
wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that 
very hour. 4 

29 If " And Jefus departed from thence, arid came 
nigh unto the fea of Galilee, and went up into a moun- 
tain, and fat down there. 

30 ° And great multitudes came unto him, having 
with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maim- 
ed, and many others, and call them down at Jefus' 
feet, and he healed them ; * 

31 Inibmuchthat the multitude wondered; Mvhen 
they faw the dumb to fpeak, the maimed to be whole, 
the lame to walk, and the blind to fee : and they glo- 
rified the God of Ifrael.

faid, I have compaffion on the multitude, becaufe they 
continue with me now three days, and have nothing 

to eat : and I will not fend them away falling, left they 
faint in the way. 

33 And his difciples fay unto him, Whence fhould 
we have fo much bread in the wildernefs, as to fill fo 
great a multitude ? 

34 And Jefus faith unto them, How many loaves 
have ye ? And they laid, Seven, and a few little fifhes. 

35 And he commanded the multitude to fit down 
on the ground. 

36 And he took the feven loaves and the fifties, and 
gave thanks, and brake them, and gave to his difci- 
ples, and the difciples to the multitude. 

37 And they did all eat, and were filled : and they 
took up of the broken meat that was left, feven baf- 
kets full.

THE a Pharifees alfo, with the Sadducees, came, 
and, tempting, defired him that he would fliew 
them a fign from heaven. 

2 He anfwered,^ and faid unto them, When it is 
evening, ye fay, It will be fair weather ; for the fky is red : 

3 And in the morning, It will be foul weather to- 
day ; for the fky is red and lowering. O ye hypocrites I 
ye can difcern the face of the fky ; but can ye not dis- 
cern the figns of the times ? 

4 A wicked and adulterous generation feeketh after 
a fign ; and there fhall no fign be given unto it, but 
the fign of the prophet Jonas. . And he left them, and 
departed.

5 If And when his difciples were come to the other 
fide, they had forgotten to take bread, 

6 Then Jefus laid unto them, Take heed and be- 
w r are of the leaven of the Phariiees, and of the Sad- 
ducees. 

7 And they reafoned among themfelves, faying, It 
is becaufe we have taken no bread. 

8 Which when Jefus perceived, he faid unto them, 
O ye of little faith ! why reafon ye among yourfelves, 
becaufe ye have brought no bread ? 

6cnap.H 17. 9 b J) ye not yet underiland, neither remember the 
five loaves of the five'thoufand, and how many bafkets 
ye took up ? 

10 c Neither the feven loaves of the four thoufand, 
and how many bafkets ye took up ? 

11 How is it that ye do not underftand that I fpake 
it not to you concerning bread, that ye fhould beware 
of the leaven of the Pharifees, and of the Sadducees ? 

12 Then underftood they how that he bade them 
not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine 
of the Phariiees, and of the Sadducees. 

13 If When Jefus came into the coafls of Cefarea 
Philippi, he alked his difciples, faying, d Whom do 
men fay that I, the Son of man, am ? 

14 And they (aid, Some say that thou, art John die 
Baptift, fome Elias, and others Jeremias, or one of 
th© prophets- 

15'He faith unto them, But whom fay ye that I am ? 

16 And Simon Peter anfwered and faid, e Thou 
art the Chrift, the Son of the living God. 

17 And Jefus anfwered,' and faid unto him, BlefTed 
art thou, Simon Barjona : for flefh and blood hath 
not revealed it unto thee, but my father which is in 
heaven. 

18 And I fay alfo unto thee, f That thou art Peter ; 
and upon this rock I will build my church, and the 
gates of hell (hall not prevail againitit. 

19 s And I will give unto thee the keys of the king- 
dom of heaven : and whatsoever thou (halt bind on 
earth lliall be bound in heaven ; and whatibever thou 
lhalt loofe on earth (hall be looted in heaven. 

■ 20 Then charged he his difciples, that they fhould 
tell no man that he was Jefus the Chrift. 

_ 21 If From that time forth began Jefus to fhew unto 
his difciples, how that he mull go unto Jerufalem, and 
fuffer many things of the elders, and chief priefts, and 
fcribes, and be killed, and be raited again the third day. 

22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke 
him, faying, Be it far from thee, Lord : this ihall not 
be unto thee. 

23 But he turned and faid unto Peter, Get thee 
behind me, Satan ; thou art an offence unto me : for 
thou lavoureit not the things that be of God, butthofe 
that be of men. 

24 If h Then faid Jefus unto his difciples, If any man 
will come after me, let him deny himfelf, and take up 
his crofs and follow me. 

25 For whofoever will fave his life fhall lofeit ; and 
whofoever will lofehis life for my fake, fhall find it. 

26 For what is a man profited, if he fhall gain the 
whole world, and lofe his own foul ? or what fhall a 
man give in exchange for his foul ? 

27 For the Son of man fliall come in the glory of 
a^m"^ 12 ' his Father with his angels ; ! and then he ihall reward I 

every man according to his works.

1 The transfiguration of Christ ; 10 he instructeth his 
disciples concerning the coming of Elias : 14 he heal- 
cth the lunatick, 22foretelkth his own passion, 24 
and payeth tribute. 

N D a after fix days Jefus taketh Peter, James, 
and John his brother, and bringeth them tip in- 
to an high mountain apart, 

_ 2 And was transfigured before them : and his face 
did fhine as the fun , and his raiment was white as the light . 

3 And, behold, there appeared unto them Motes 
and Elias, talking with him. 

4 Then anfwered Peter, and faid unto Jefus, Lord, 
it is good for us to be here : If thou wilt, let us make 
here three tabernacles ; one for thee, and one for 
Moles, and one for Elias. 

5 b While he yet tbake, behold, a bright cloud 
overfhadowed them : an4? behold, a voice out of the 
cloud, which faid, This 'i&ny beloved Son, in whom 
I am well pleated : hear ye him. 

6 And when the difciples heard it, they fell on their 
face, and were fore afraid. 

7 And Jefus came and touched them, and faid, 
Arife, and be not afraid. 

8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they few 
no man, fave Jefus only. 

9 And, as they came down from the mountain, Je- 
fus charged them, faying. Tell the vifion to no man, 
until the Son of man be rifen again from the dead. 

10 If And his difciples afked him, faying, c Why 
then fay the fcribes, that Elias muft fiift come ? 

11 And Jefus anfwered, and faid unto them, Elias 
truly fliall firft come, and reftore all things. 

12 But I fay unto you, That Elias is come already, 
and they knew him not ; but have done unto him 
whatfoeyer they lifted : likewife ihall alio the Son of 
man fuffer of them. 

13 Then the difciples underftood that he fpake un- 
to them of John the Baptift. 

14 If d And when they were come to the multitude, ^Man o w 
there came to him a certain man, kneeling down* to 

him, and faying, 

15 Lord, have mercy on my fon ; for he is luna- 
tick, and fore vexed : for oft times he falleth into the 
fire, and oft into the water. 

16 And I brought him to thy difciples, and they 
could not cure him. 

17 Then Jefus anfwered and faid, O faithlefs and 
perverfe generation ; how long fliall I be with you ? 
how long ihall I fuffcr you ? Bring him hither to rac. 

18 And Jefus rehtfked the devil, and he departed out 
of him : and the child was cured from that very hour. 

19-Then came the difciples to Jefus apart, and faid, 
Why^ould not we call him out ? 

20 And Jefus faid unto them, becaufe of your un- 
belief: for verily I lay unto you, e If ye have faith as eLct '' ; -°- 
a grain of muftard feed, ye ihall fay unto this moun- 
tain, Remove hence to yonder place, and it fhall re- 
move ; and nothing ihall be impoflibie unto you.

and tatting.

faid, Doth not your mailer pay tribute ? 

25 He faith, Yes. And when he was come into the 
home, Jefus prevented him, laying, Whatthinkeit thou,

or tribute ? of their own children, or of ftrangers ? 

26 Peter faith unto him, Of ftrangers. Jefus faith, 
unto him, Then are the children free.

CHAP. XVIII. 
1 Christ, for a pattern, proposeth a little child to his 
disciples: 7 he warneth them to avoid offences, 10 
and ?iot to despise the little ones, whom it is the Fath- 
er 's will to save : 15 he teacheth hsriv to treat an of- 
fending brother, 21 and how oft to for give him, by 
the parable of a king who punished one of his ser- 
vants, for refusing that mercy to his fellow which 
he had experienced from his lord. 

AT a the fame time came the difciples unto Jefus, 
faying, Who is the greateit in the kingdom of 
heaven ? 

2 And Jefus called a little child unto him, and fet 
him in the midft of them, 

3 And faid, Verily I fay unto you, b Except ye be 
converted, and become as little children, ye lhall not 
enter into the kingdom of heaven. 

4 Whofoever, therefore, lhall humble himfelf as 
this little child, the iame is greateft in the kingdom 
of heaven. 

5 And whofo fhall receive one fuch little child in 
my name, receiveth me. 

6 c But whofo lhall offend one of thefe little ones 
which believe in me, it were better for him that a mill- 
ftone were hanged about his neck, and that he were 
drowned in the depth of the fea. 

"i If Woe unto the world became of offences ! for 
it mult needs be that offences come ; but woe to that 
man by whom the offence cometh ! 

8 d Wherefore if thy hand or thy foot offend thee, cut 
them off, and caft them from thee : it is better for thee 
to enter into life halt or maimed,, rather than^ having 
two hands, or two feet, to be caft into everlafting fire. 

9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, and 
caft it from thee •: it is better for thee to enter into 
life with one eye, rather than having two eyes to be 
caft into hell lire. 

10 If Take heed that ye defpife not one of thefe 
little ones : for I fay unto you, That in heaven their 
angels do always behold the face of my Father which 
is in heaven. 

11 e For the Son of man is come to fave that which 
was loft. 

12 f How think ye ? If a man have an hundred 
fheep, and one of them be gone aftray, doth he not 
leave the ninety and nine, and goeth into the moun- 
tains, and feeketh that which is gone aftray ? 

13 And if fo be that he find it, verily I fay unto you, 
He rejoiceth more of that sheep, than of the ninety 
and nine which went not aftray. 



S. MATTHEW.

14 Evenfo it is not the will of your Father which is 
in heaven that one of thefe little ones lhould perifh. 

15 If Moreover, / if thy brother lhall trefpais againft 
thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him 
alone : if he lhall hear thee, thou haft gained thy 
brother. 

16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee

22 Jefus faith unto him, I fay not unto thee, Until 
feven times ; but, Until feventy times feven. 

23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened 
unto a certain king, which would take account of his 
fervants. 

24 And when he had begun to reckon, one was 
brought unto him which owed him ten thoufand * tal- 
ents .: 

25 But forafmuch as he had not to pay, his lord fi 
commanded him to be fold, and his wife and children, trounce" 58

26 The fervant therefore, fell down and || worlhip- \\ 0r ,

27 Then the lord of that fervant was moved with 
compaffion, and loofed him, and forgave him the debt. 

_ 28 But the fame fervant went out and found one of 
his fellow fervants, which owed him an hundred 
* pence : and he laid hands on him and took him by » TheRo .

29 And his fellow fervant fell down at his feet, and partoFL* 
befought him, faying, Have patience with me, and I Xcl' after 
will pay thee all,. 

30 And he would not ; but went and call him into 
prifon till he lhould paythe debt,. 

31 So when his fellow fervants faw what was done, 
they were very forry, and came and told unto their 
lord all diat was done. 

32 Then his lord, after that he had called him, 
faid unto him, O thou wicked fervant, I forgave thee 
all that debt, becaufe thou defiredft me ; 

33 Shoulcleft not thou alfo have had compafhon on 
thy fellow fervant, even as I had pity on thee ? 

34 And his lord was wroth, 'and delivered him to 
the tormentors, till he lhould pay all that was due un- 
to him, 

35 So like wife fhall my heavenly father do alfo un- 
to you, if j'e from your hearts forgive not every one 
his brother their trefpaffes.

ed them there,

put away his wife for every caufe ?

her away ? 

8 He faidi unto them, Mofes, becaufe of the hard- 
nefs of your hearts, fuffered you to put away your 
wives : but from the beginning it was not fo.

Luke \% \i his wife, except it be for fornication, and fhall marry 

''"' another, committeth adultery; and whofo marrieth 
her which is put away, doth commit adultery. 

10 His difciples fay unto him, If the cafe of the 
man be fo with his wife, it is not good to marry. 

11 But he faid unto them, All men cannot receive 
this faying, fave they to whom it is given. 

12 For there are fome eunuchs, which were fo born 
from their mother's womb ; and there are fome eu-

FOR the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man 
that is an houfeholder, which went out early in 
the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard..

a * penny a day, he lent them into his vineyard. *The ko.

6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and 
found others ftanding idle, and faith unto them, Why

7 They fay unto him, Becaufe no man hath hired 
us. He faith unto them, Go ye alfo into the vineyard ; 
and whatfoever is right, that fliall ye receive : 

8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard 
faith unto his fteward, Call the labourers, and give 
them their hire, beginning from the laft unto the firft. 

9 And when they came that were hired about the 
eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.

and thou haft made them equal unto us, which have 
borne the burden and heat of the day. 

13 But he anfwered one of them, and faid, Friend, 
I do thee no wrong : didft not thou agree with me 
for a penny ? 

14 Take that thine is, and go thy way : I will give 
unto this laft even as unto thee. 

15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with 
mine own ? Is thine ej'e evil becaufe I am good ? 

16 a So the laft fhall be firft, and the firlt laft : for 
many be called, but few chofen. 

17 H b And Jefus, going up to Jerufalem, took the 
twelve difciples apart in the way, and faid unto them, 

18 Behold, we go up to Jerufalem ; and the fon of 
man fhall be betrayed unto the chief priefts, and unto 
the fcribes, and they fhall condemn him to death. 

19 c And Avail deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, 
and to fcourge, and to crucify him : and the third day 
he Aiall rife again. 

20 U d Then came to him the mother of Zebedee's 
children with her fons, worlhipping him, and defiring 
a certain thing of him. 

21 And he faid unto her, What wilt thou ? She 
faith unto him, Grant that thefe my two fons may fit, 
the one on thy right hand, and the other on the left, 
in thy kingdom. 

22 But Jefus anfwered and faid, Ye know not what 
ye aik. Are ye able to drink of the cup that I Aiall 
drink of, and to be baptized with the baptifm that I. 
am baptized with ? They fay unto him, We are able. 

23 And he faith unto them, Ye Aiall drink indeed 
of my cup, and be baptized with the baptifm that I 
am baptized with : but to fit on my right hand, and 
on my left, is not mine to give ; but it shall be given 
to them for whom it is prepared of my Father. 

24 e And when the ten heard it, they were moved 
with indignation againft the two brethren. 

25 But Jefus called them nnto him, and faid. Ye 
know that the princes of the Gentiles exercife domin- 
ion over them, and they that are great exercife au- 
thority upon them. 

26 But it fhall not be fo among you : butwhofoever 
will be great among you, let him be 3 r our minifter ; 

27 And whofoever will be chief among you, let 
him be your fervant :

multitude followed him :

faying, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thoui'on of David.

fhould hold their peace : but they cried the more, fay- 
ing, Have mercy on us, O Lord, thou fon of David. 

32 And Jefus ltood ftill, and called them, and faid, 
What will ye that I Aiall do unto you ? 

33 They fay unto him, Lord, that our eyes may 
be opened.

their eyes : and immediately their eyes received light,

roho questioned his authority . 28 The parable of the 
two sons sent to work in the vineyard.- 33 Parable of 
the vineyard let out to wicked husbandmen. 

AND a when they drew nigh unto Jerufalem, and 
were come to Bethphage, unto the mount of Lukeii ' 2S 
Olives, then fent Jefus two difciples, 

2 Saying unto them, Go into the village over againft 
you, and itraightway ye fhall find an afs tied, and a 
colt with her : loofe them, and bring them unto me. 

3 And if any man fay aught unto you, ye Aiall lay, 
The Lord hath need of them ; and Itraightway he 
will fend them. 

4 All this was clone, that it might be fulfilled which 
was fpoken by the prophet, faying, 

5 b Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King 
cometh unto thee, meek, and fitting upon an afs, and 
a colt the foal of an afs. 

6 c And the difciples went, and did as Jefus com- 
manded them, 

7 And brought the afs, and the colt, and put on 
them their clothes, and they let him thereon. 

8 And a very great multitude fpread their garments 
in the way ; others cut down branches from the trees, 
and ftrawed them in the way. 

9 And the multitudes that went before, and that 
followed, cried, faying, Hofanna to the fon of David ; 
Bleffed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord ; 
Hofanna in the higheft. 

10 _ d And when he was come into Jerufalem, all 
the city was moved, faying, Who is this ? 

11 And the multitude faid, This is Jefus the 
prophet, of Nazareth of Galilee. 

12 II And Jefus went into the temple of God, and 
caft out all them that fold and bought in the temple, 
and overthrew the tables of the money changers, and 
the feats of them that fold doves, 

13 And faid unto them, It is written, e My houfe 
Aiall be called the houfe of prayer ; f but ye have 
made it a den of thieves. 

14 And the blind and the lame came to him in the 
temple ; and he healed them. _ 

15 If And when the chief priefts and fcribes faw the 
wonderful things that he did, and the children crying 
in the temple, and faying, Hofanna to the fon of 
David ; they were fore difpleafed, 

16 And faid unto him, Heareft thou what thefe 
fay ? And Jefus faith unto them, Yea ; have ye never 

read, g Out of the mouth of babes and fucklings thou ePsaim 8 2 
haft perfected praife ? 

17 If And he left them, and went out of the city 
into Bethany ; and he lodged there- 

1 8 Now in the morning, as he returned into the 
city, lie hungred. 

19 h And when he faw a fig tree in the way, he J 1 **«* £I 
came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves 

only ; and faid unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee 
henceforward for ever. And prefently the fig tree 
withered away. 

20 And when the difciples faw it, they marvelled, 
faying, How foon is the fig tree withered away ! 

21 Jefus anfwered, and faid unto them, Verily I fay 
unto you, If ye have faith, and doubt not, ye Aiall not 
only do this which is done to the fig tree, but alfo, if

ye (hall fay unto this mountain, Be thou removed, 
and be thou call into the fea ; it mail be done. 

-22 And all things, whatfoeveryeihall afkin prayer, 
believing, ye mall receive, 

23 If ' And when he was come into the temple, the 
chief prieils and the elders of the people came unto him, 
as he was teaching, and faid, By 'what authority doeft ! 
thou thefe things ? and who gave thee this authority ? 

24 And Jefus anfwered and laid unto them, I alio 
will afk you one thing, which if ye tell me, I in like 
wife will tell you by what authority 1 do thefe things. 

25 The baptifm of John, whence was it ? from hea- 
ven, or of men ? And they reafoned with themfelves, 
faying, if we mail fay, From heaven ; he will fay unto 
us, Why, did ye not then believe him ? 

26 But ifwe fhall fay, Of men ; we fear the people : 
tcKp. m s- k f or a n hold John as a prophet. 

27 And they anfwered Jefus, and faid, We cannot 
tell. And he faid unto them, Neither tell I you by 
what authority I do thefe things. 

28 *[f But what think ye ? A certain man had two 
Tons ; and he came to the full, and faid, Son, go work 
to-day in my vineyard. 

29 He anfwered and faid, I will not ; but afterward 
he repented, and went. 

30 And he came to the fecond, and faid like wife. 
And he anfweredand faid, I go, fir ; and went not. 

-31 Whether of them twain did the will of bis fa- 
ther ? They fay unto him, The firft. Jefus faith unto 
them, Verily I lay unto you, That the publicans and 
the hailots go into the kingdom of God before you. 

32 For l John ^came unto you in the way of righ- 
teoufnefs, and ye believed him not ; but the publicans 
and the harlots believed him : and ye, when ye had 
feen it, repented not afterward, that ye might believe 
him. 

33 If Hear another parable ; There was a certain 
houfeholder m which planted a vineyard, and hedged 
it round about, and digged a wine prefs in it, and built 
a tower, and let it out to hufbandmen s and went into 
a far country. 

34 And, when the time of the fruit drew near, he 
fent his fervants to the hufbandmen, that they might 
receive the fruits of it. 

35 And the hufbandmen took his fervants, and beat 
one, and killed another, and Honed another. 

36 Again, he fent other fervants more than the firft : 
and they did unto them likewife. 

37 But lad of all he lent unto them his Ton, faying, 
They will reverence my fon. 

38 But when the hufbandmen faw the fon, they faid 
among themfelves, This is the heir ; "come, Ictus kill 
him, and let us feize on his inheritance. 

39 And they caught him, and call him out of the 
vineyard, and Hew him. 

40 When the lord, therefore, of the vineyard com- 
cth, what will he do unto thofe hufbandmen ? 

41 They fay unto him, He will miferably deflroy 
thofe wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto 
other hufbandmen, which fhall render him the fruits 
in their feafons. 

42 Jefus faith unto them, ° Did ye never read in the 
fcriptures, The ftone which the builders rejected, the 
fame is become the head of the comer : this is the 
Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes ?

C H A P. XXII. 

1 The parable of the 7narriage of the king's son ; the 
unworthiness of those first bidden ; others called in 
their room ; the punishment of one who wanted a wed- 
ding garment. 15 Concerning paying of tribute to 
Cesar. 23 Christ confuteth the Sadducees touching 
the resurrection, 34 answer eth the lawyer, which is 
the first and great commandment, 41 and proposeth 
to the Pharisees a question concerning Christ. 

AND Jefus anfwered, a and fpake unto them again ^^<= h & 
by parables, and faid, Kev ' I9 s ' 

-2 The kingdom of heaven is like unto a certain 
king which made a marriage for his fon, 

3 And fent forth his fervants to call them that were 
bidden to the wedding : and they would not come. 

4 Again, he fent forth other fervants, faying, Tell 
them which are bidden, Behold, I have prepared my 
dinner ; my oxen and my fatiings are killed, and all 
things are ready : come unto the marriage. 

5 But they made light of it, and went their ways, 
one to his farm, another to his merchandife : 

6 And the remnant took his fervants, and entreated 
them fpitefully, and flew them. 

7 But when the king heard thereof, he was wroth : 
and he fent forth his armies, and deftroyed thofe mur- 
derers, and burnt up their city. ; 

8 Then faith he to his fervants, The wedding is' 
ready, but they which were bidden were not worthy. 

9 Go ye, therefore, into the highways, and, as ma- 
ny as ye fhall find, bid to the marriage. 

10 So thofe fervants went out into the highways, and 
gathered together all as many as they found, both bad 
and good : and the wedding was furnifhed with guefts. 

1 1 And Avhen the king came in to fee the guefts, he 
faw there a man which had not on a wedding garment : 

12 And he faith unto him, Friend, how cameft 
thou in hither, not having a wedding garment ? and 
he was fpeechlefs. 

13 Then faid the king to the fervants, Bind him 
hand and foot, and take him away, and caft him into 
outer darknefs : there fhall be weeping and gnafhing 
of teeth. 

14 b For many are called, but few are chofen. bchap - 20 16 

15 If c Then went the Pharifees, and took counfel l^mM?" 
how they might entangle him in his talk. 

16 And they fent out unto him their difciples, with 
the Herodians, faying, Mafter, we know that thou art 
true, and teacheft the May of God in truth, neither 
careft thou for any man ; for thou regardeft not the 
perlbn of men : 

17 Tell us, therefore, What thinkeft thou ? Is it 
lawful to give tribute unto Cefar, or not ? 

18 But Jefus perceived their wickednefs, and faid, 
Why tempt ye me, ye hvpocrites ? 

19 Shew me the tribute money, And they brought ' ' 



unto him a * penny.

Christ co'nfuteth the Pharisees. 

20 And he faith unto them, 
and |i iupericription f ■ 

21 They lay unto him, Cefar's. Then faith he 
unto them, d Render, therefore, unto Cefar the things 
which are Cefar's ; and unto God the things that are 
God's. 

22 When they had heard these words, they marvel- 
led, and left him, and went their way. 

23 II e The fame day came to him the Sadducees 
f which fay that there is no refurre6tion, and afked 
him, 

24 Saying, Mailer, sMofesfaid, If a man die, having 
no children, his brother fhall marry his wife, and raife 
up feed unto his brother. 

25 Now, there were with us feven brethren : and 
the firft, when he had married a wife, deceafed ; and 
having no iffue, left his wife unto his brother : 

26 Likewife the fecond alio, and the third, unto the 
feventh. 

27 And laft of all the woman died alfo. 
28, Therefore in the refurrection, whofe wife fhall 

fhe be of the feven ? for they all had her. 

29 Jefus anfwered, and laid unto them, Ye do 
err, not knowing the fcriptures, nor the power of 
God. 

30 For in the refurreclion they neither marry nor 
are given in marriage ; but are as the angels of God 
in heaven. 

31 But as touching the refurreclion of the dead, 
have ye not read that which was fpoken unto you by 
God, faying, 

32 h I am the God of Abraham, and the God of 
Ifaac, and the God of Jacob ? God is not the God of 
the dead, but of the living. 

33 And when the multitude heard this, they were 
aftoniihed at his doclrine. 

iMark!2 28. 34 11' But when the Pharifees had heard that he 
had put the Sadducees to filence, they were gathered 
together. 

35 Then one of them, which was a lawyer, afked 
him a question, tempting him, and faying, 

36 Mailer, which is the great commandment in the 
law ? 

37 Jefus faid unto him, k Thou (halt love the Lord 
thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy foul, and 
with all thy mind. 

38 This is the firft and great commandment. 

39 And the fecond is like unto it, ' Thou fhalt love 
thy neighbour as thyfelf. 

40 On thefe two commandments hang all the law 
and the prophets. 

41 IT m While the Pharifees were gathered together, 
Jefus afked them, 

42 Saying, what think ye of Chrift ? whofe fon is 
he ? They fay unto him, The son of David. 

43 He faith unto them, How then doth David in 
fpirit call him Lord, laying, 

44 n The Lord faid unto my Lord, Sit thou on my 
right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footftool? 

45 If David then call him Lord, how is he his fon ? 

46 And no man was able to anfwer him a word ; 
neither durfl any man, from that day forth, alk him 
any more questions.

and particularly to beware of their ambition : 13 he 
dcnounceth divers woes against them for their blind- 
ness and hypocrisy ; 34 and prophcsieth the destruc- 
tion of Jerusalem. 

THEN fpake Jefus to the multitude, and to his 
difciples, 

2 Saying, The fcribes and the Pharifees fit in 
Moles' feat : 

3 All, therefore, whatfoever they bid you obferve, 
that obferve and do ; but do not ye after their works ; 
for they fay, and do not. 

4 a For they bind heavy burdens, and grievous to 
be borne, and lay them on men's fhoulders ; but they 
themselves will not move them with one of their fingers. 

5 But all their works they do for to be feen of men ; 
b they make broad their phylacleries, and enlarge the 
borders of their garments, 

6 c And Jove the uppermoft rooms at feafts, and the 
chief feats in the fynagogues, 

7 And greetings in the markets, and to be called of 
men, Rabbi, Rabbi. 

8 d But be not ye called Rabbi : for one is your 
Mafter, even Chrift ; and all ye are brethren. 

9 And call no man your Father upon the earth : 
e for one is your Father which is in heaven. 

10 Neither be ye called mailers : for one is your 
Mafter, even Chriil. 

1 1 But he that is greateft among you fhall be your 
fervant. 

12 f And whofoever fhall exalt himfelf fhall be 
abafed j and he that fhall humble himfelf fhall be ex- 
alted. 

13 11 But s woe unto you, fcribes and Pharifees, 
hypocrites ! for ye fhut up the kingdom of heaven 
againft men : for ye neither go in yourselves, neither 
i'uffer ye them that are entering to go in. 

14 Woe unto you, fcribes and Pharifees, hypo- 
crites ! h for ye devour widows' houfes, and for a pre- 
tence make long prayer: therefore ye fhall receive 
the greater damnation. 

15 Woe unto you, fcribes and Pharifees, hypo- 
crites ! for ye compafs fea and land to make one profe- 
lyte ; and when he is made, ye make him two fold 
more the child of hell than yourfelves. 

16 Woe unto you, ye blind guides ! which fay, 
WhofoeA^er fhall fwear by the temple, it is nothing ; 
but whofoever fhall fwear by the gold of the temple, 
he is a debtor. 

17 Tc fools and blind ! for whether is greater, the 
gold, or the temple that fanftifieth the gold ? 

18 And, Whofoever fhall fwear by the altar, it is 
nothing ; but whofoever fweareth by the gift that is 
upon it, he is || guilty. 

19 Ye fools, and blind ! for whether is greater, the 
gift, or the altar that fanclineth the gift ? 

20 Whofo, therefore, fhall fwear by the altar, fwear- 
eth by it, and by all things thereon. 

21 And whofo fhaU fwear by the temple, fweareth 
by it, and by him that dwelleth therein. 

22 And he that fhall fwear by heaven, fweareth by 
the throne of God, and by him that fitteth thereon. 

23 Woe unto you, fcribes and Pharifees, hypo- 
crites ! ' for ye pay tithe of mint, and anife, and cum- 
min, and have omitted the weightier matters of the 
law, judgment, mercy, and faith : thefe ought ye to 
have done, and not to leave the other undone.

3 5 That upon you may come all the righteous blood 
fhed upon the earth, l from the blood of righteous 
Abel unto the blood of Zacharias, fon of Barachias,

32 *il Now learn a parable of the fig tree ; When 
his branch is yet tender and putteth forth leaves, ye 
know that fummer is nigh. 

33 So like wife ye, when ye fhall fee all thefe tilings, 
know that || it is near, even at the doors- 

34 Verily I fay unto you, This generation fhall not 
pafs till all thefe things be fulfilled. 

35 l Heaven and earth fhall pafs away, but my words 
fhall not pafs away. 

36 If But of that day and hour knoweth no man ; 
no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only. 

37 But as the days ofNoe were, fo fhall alfo the 
coming of the Son of man be. 

38 m For as in the days that were before the flood, 
they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving 
in marriage until the day that Noe entered into the ark. 

39 And knew not until the flood came,, and took 
them all away ; fo fhall alfo the coming of the Son of 
man be. 

40 n Then fhall two be in the field ; the one fhall 
be taken, and the other left. 

41 Two women shall be grinding at the mill ; the 
one fhall be taken, and the other left. 

42 II ° Watch, therefore : for ye know not what 
hour your Lord doth come. 

43 p But know this, that if the good man of the 
iuvei. i6 J i5. houfe had known in what watch the thief would come, 

he would have watched, and would not have fuffered 
his houfe to be broken up. 

44 Therefore be ye alfo ready : for in fuch an 
hour as ye think not, the Son of man cometh. 

45 q Who then is a faithful and wife fervant, whom 
his lord hath made ruler over his houfehold, to give 
them meat in due feafon ? 

46 Bleffed is that fervant whom his lord, when he 
cometh, fhall find fo doing. 

47 Verily I fay unto you, That he fhall make him 
ruler over all his goods. 

48 But and if that evil fervant fhall fay in his heart, 
My lord delay eth his coming ; 

49 And fhall begin to fmite his fellow fervants, and 
to eat and drink with the drunken ; 

50 The lord of that fervant fhall come in a day 
when he looketh not for him, and in an hour that he 
is not aware of ; 

51 And fhall || cut him afunder, and appoint him 
his portion with the hypocrites : there fhall be weep-

HEN fhall the kingdom of heaven be likened un- 
to ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went 
forth to meet the bridegroom. 

2 And five of them were wife, and five were foolifh. 

3 They that were foolifh took their lamps, and took 
no oil with them : 

4 But the wife took oil in their veffels with their 
lamps. 

5 While the bridegroom tarried, they all flumbered 
and flept.

and of the talents, 

6 And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, 
the bridegroom cometh ; go ye out to meet him. 

7 Then all thofe virgins arofe, and trimmed their 
lamps. 

8 And the foolifh faid unto the wife, Give us of 
your oil ; for our lamps are H gone out. 

9 But the wife anfwered, faying, Not so ; left there 
be not enough for us and you :. but go ye rather to 

I them that fell, and. buy for yourfelves. 

10 And while they went to buy, the bridegroom 
came ; and they that were ready went in with him 
to the marriage : and the door was fhut.. 

11 Afterward came alfo the other virgins, faying, 
Lord, Lord,, open to us. 

12 But he anfwered and faid, Verily I fay unto you, 
I know you not. 

13 a Watch r therefore ;.-. for ye know neither the a 
day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh. 

14 y b For the kingdom of heaven is as a man trav- 
elling into, a far country, who called his own fervants, 
and delivered unto them his goods.. 

15 And unto one he gave five * talents, to another 
two, and to another, one ; to every man according to 
his feveral ability, and ftraightway took his journey. 

16 Then he that had received the five talents went 
and traded with the fame, and made them other five 
talents. 

17 And like wife he that had received two, he alfo 
gained other two, 

18 But he that had received one, went and digged 
in the earth, and hid his lord's money. 

19 After a long time the lord of thofe fervants 
cometh, and reckoneth with them. 

20 And fo he that had received five talents came, 
and brought other five talents, faying, Lord, thou de- 
liveredft unto me five talents : behold, I have gained 
befide them five talents more. 

21 His lord faid unto him, Well done, thou good 
and faithful fervant ; thou haft been faithful over a few 
things, I will make thee ruler over many things : enter 
thou into the joy of thy lord. 

22 He alfo that had received two talents came, and 
faid, Lord, thou delivered!!: unto me two talents : be- 
hold, I have gained two other talents befide them. 

23 His lord faid unto him, Well done, good and 
faithful fervant j thou haft been faithful over a few 
things, I will make thee ruler over many tilings : enter 
thou into the joy of thy Lord. 

24 Then he which had received the one talent 
came, and faid, Lord, I knew thee, that thou art an 
hard man, reaping where thou haft not fown, and 
gathering where thou haft not ftrawed - t 

25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy talent 
in the earth :. lo, there thou haft that is thine. 

26 His lord aufwered^and faid unto him, Thou wick- 
ed and flothfiil fervant, thou kneweft that I reap where 
I fowed not, and gather where I have not ftrawed ; 

27 Thou oughteft therefore to have put my money 
to the exchangers, and then at my coming I fhould 
have received mine own with ufury. 

28 Take, therefore, the talent from him, and give 
it unto him which hath ten talents. 

29 * For unto every one that hath fhall be given, 
and he fhall have abundance : but from him that hath \ 
not, fhall be taken away even that which he hath. 

30 And call ye the unprofitable fervant into outer 

darknefs :

and he fhall feparate them one from another, as a 
fhepherd divideth his fheep from the goats : 

33 And he fhall fet the fheep on his right hand, but 
the goats on the left. 

34 Then fhall the King fay unto them on his right 
hand, Gome, ye bleffed of my Father, inherit the king- 
dom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 

35 d For I was "an hungred, and ye gave me meat: 
I was thirfty, and ye gave me drink : I was aflranger, 
and ye took me in : 

36 Naketi, and ye clothed me : I was fick, and ye 
vifited me : I was in prifon, and ye came unto me. 

37 Then fhall the righteous anfwer him, faying, 
Lord, when faw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or 
tbirfty, and gave thee drink ?.. 

38. When law we thee a {hanger, and took thee in ? 
or naked, and clothed thee ? 

39 Or when faw we thee fick, or in prifon, and 
came unto thee ? 

40 And the King fhall anfwer, and fay unto them, 
Verily I fay unto you, inafmuch as ye have done it 
unto one of the leaft of thefe my brethren, ye have 
done it unto me. 

41 Then fhall he fay alfo unto them on the left 
band, e Depart from me, ye curfed, into everlafting 
fire, prepared for the devil and his angels : 

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat : 
I was thirfty, and ye gave me no drink : 

43 I was a ftranger, and ye took me not in : naked, 
and ye clothed me not : fick> and in prifon, and ye 
vifited me not, 

44 Then fhall they alfo anfwer him, faying, Lord, 
when faw we thee an hungred, or athirft, or a ftranger, 
or naked, or lick, or in prifon, and did not minifter 
unto thee. 

45 Then fhall he anfwer them, faying, Verily I fay 
unto you, Inafmuch as ye did it not to one of the leaft 
of thefe, ye did it not to me. 

46 And f thefe fhall go away into everlafting p*nifh-

the garden : 47 he is betrayed with « kiss, 57 and 
carried to Caiaphas. 69 Peter's denial. 

AN D it came to pais, when Jefus^had finiflicd all 
thefe fayings, he faid unto his difciples, 

2 a Ye know that after two days is the feast tf/ the paff- 
ovcr, and the Son of man is betrayed to be crucified. 

3 1i t k Then ailembled together the chief prieils, and 
the fcribes, and the elders of the people, unto the pal- 
ace of the high prieft, who was called Caiaphas, 

_ 4 And confulted that they might take Jefus by fub- 
tilty, and kill him. 

5 But they faid, not on the feaft day, left there be 
an uproar among the people. 

6 If c Now, when Jefus was in Bethany, in the houfe 
of Simon the leper, 



7 There came unto him a woman having an ala- 
bafter box of very precious ointment, and poured if 
on his head, as he fat at meat. 

8 But when his difciples faw it, they had indigna- 
tion, faying, To what purpole is this wafte ? 

9 For this ointment might have been fold for much, 
and given to the poor. 

10 When Jefus underftood it, he faid unto them, 
Why trouble ye the woman ? For fhe hath wrought 
a good work upon me. 




e Mark 14 10, 
Luke 22 3. 



11 d For ye have the poor always with you; but dDeut! 5 i: 
me ye have not always. 

12 For in that fhe hath poured this ointment on my 
body, fhe did it for my burial. 

13 Verily I fay unto you, Wherefoever this gofpel 
fhail be preached in the whole world, there fhall aifo 
this that this woman hath done, be told for a memo- 
rial of her. 

14 If e Then one of the twelve, called Judas Ifcariot, 
went unto the chief priefts, 

15 And faid unto them, What will ye give me, and 
I will deliver him unto you ? And they covenanted 
with him for thirty pieces of filver. 

16 And from that time he fought opportunity to be- 
tray him. 

17 If f Now, thefirft day of the feast of unleavened ^V 2 4 7 '; 
bread, the difciples came to Jefus, faying unto him, 
Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the 
paffover ? 

18 And he faid, Go into the city to fuch a man, and 
fay unto him, The Mafter faith, my time is at hand ; 
I will keep the paffover at thy houfe with my difciples. 

19 And the difciples did as Jefus had appointed 
them ; and they made ready the paffover. 

20 s Now, when the even was come,, he fat down 
with the twelve. 

21 And as they did eat, he faid, Verily I fay unto 
you, that one of you fhall betray me. 

22 And they were exceeding forrowful, and began 
every one of them to fay unto him, Lord is it I ? 

23 And he anfwered and faid, h He that dippeth Ms 
hand with me in the difh, the fame fhall betray me. 

24 The Son of man goeth, as it is written of him : 
but woe unto that man by whom the Son of man is 
betrayed ! It had been good for that man, if he had 
not been born. 

25 Then Judas, which betrayed him, anfwered and 
faid, Mafter, is it I ? He laid unto him, Thou haft faid. 

26 If And, as they were eating, : ' Jefus took bread, 
and || bleffed it, and break it, and gave it to the difci- jL M »K ' 
pies, and faid, Take, eat ; this is my body. 

27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave 
it to them, faying, Drink ye all of it : 

28 For this is my blood of the new tefiament, 
which is.fhed for many for the rcmiffion of fins. 

29 But I fay unto you, I will not drink henceforth 
of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink 
it new with you in my Father's kingdom. 

30 If And when they had fung an || hymn, they 
went out into the mount of Olives. 

31 Then faith Jefus unto them, k All ye fhall be f W£'

thee, yet will I not deny thee. Likewife a!fo faid all

called Gethfemane, and faith unto his difciples, Sit ye 
here, while I go and pray yonder. 

37 And he took with him Peter and the two fons of 
Zcbedee, and began to be forrowfui and very heavy. 

38 Then faith he unto them, My foul is exceeding 
forrowfui, even unto death ; tarry ye here, and watch 
with. me. 

39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, 
and prayed, faying, O my Father, if it be poflible, let 
this cup pafs from me : neverthelefs, not as I will, 
but as thou wilt. 

40 And he cometh unto the difciples, and findeth 
them afleep, and faith unto Peter, What ! could ye 
not watch with me one hour ? 

41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into tempta- 
tion : the fpirit indeed \}s willing, but the flefh is weak. 

42 He went away again the fecond time and pray- 
ed, faying, O my Father, if this cup may not pafs away 
from me, except I drink it, thy will be done. _ 

43 And he came and found them afleep again : for 
their eyes were heavy. 

44 And he left them, and went away again, and 
prayed the third time, faying the fame Avords ; 

45 Then cometh he to his difciples, and faith unto 
them, Sleep on now, and take your reft : behold, the 
hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into 
the hands of finners. 

46 Rife, let us be going : behold, he is at hand 
that doth betray me. 

47 H And * while he yetfpake, lo, Judas, one of the

49 And forthwith he came to Jefus, and faid, Hail,

50 And Jefus faid unto him, Friend, wherefore art 
thou come ? Then came they and laid hands on Jefus, 
and took him. 

51 H And, behold, one of them which were with Je- 
fusftretched out /Iwhand, anddrewhisfword,andftruck 
afervant of the high prieft's, and fmote off his ear. 

52 Then faid Jefus unto him, Put up again thy 
fword into his place : "J for all they that take the fword 
fhall perifh with the fword. 

53 Thinkell thou that I cannot now pray to my 
Father, and he fhall prefently give me more than 
twelve legions of angels ? 

54 But how then fhall the fcriptures be fulfilled, 
r that thus it mull be ? 

55 In that fame hour faid Jefus to the multitudes, 
Are ye come out, as againft a thief, _ with fwords and

forfook him, and fled. 

57 U* And they that had laid hold on Jefus led him 
away to Caiaphas the high priefl, where the fcribes 
and the elders were affembled. 

58 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high 
prieft's palace, and went in, and fat with the fervants, 
to fee the end. 

_ 59 Now the chief priefts and elders, and all the coun- 
cil, fought falfe witnefsagainft Jefusto puthimto death ; 

60 But found none : yea, though many falfe wit- 
neffes came, yet found they none. At the laft came 
two falfe witneffes, 

61 And faid, This fellow faid, u I am able to deftroy 
the temple of God, and to build it in three days. 

62 And the high prieft arofe, and faid unto him, 
Anfwereft thou nothing ? what is it which thefe wit- 
nefs againft thee ? 

63 But Jefus held his peace. And the high prieft 
anfwered, and faid unto him, I adjure thee by the 
living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the 
Chrift, the Son of God. 

64 Jefus faith unto him, Thou haft faid : neverthe- 
lefs I fay unto you, x Hereafter fhall ye fee the Son of 
man fitting on the right hand of power, and coming in 
the clouds of heaven. 

65 Then the high prieft rent his clothes, faying, He 
hath fpoken blafphemy ; what further need have we of 
witneffes ? behold now ye have heard his blafphemy. 

66 What think ye ? They anfwered and faid, He 
is guilty of death. 

67 y Then did they fpit in his face, and buffeted him ; 
and others fmote him with the || palms of their hands, 

68 Saying, Prophefy unto us, thou Chrift ; Who 
is he that fmote thee ? 

69 If z Now Peter fat without in the palace : and a 
damfel came unto him, faying, Thou alfo waft with 
Jefus of Galilee. 

70 But he denied before them all, faying, I know 
not what thou fay eft. 

71 And when he was gone out into the porch, an- 
other maid faw him, and faid unto them that w T ere 
there, This fellow was alfo with Jefus of Nazareth. 

72 And again he denied with an oath, I do not 
know the man. 

73 And after a while came unto him they that flood 
by, and faid to Peter, Surely thou alfo art one of them ; 
for thy fpeech bewrayeth thee. 

74 Then began he to curfe and to fwear, saying, I 
know not the man. And immediately the cock crew. 

75 And Peterrernembered the words of Jefus, which 
faid unto him, Before the cock crow thou fhalt deny

And the chief priefts took the filver pieces, and 
faid, It is not lawful for to put them into the treaiury, 
becaufe it is the price of blood. 

7 And they took counfel, and bought with them 
the potter's field, to bury ftrangers in. 

8 Wherefore that field was called, c The field of 
blood, unto this day.

Jeremy the prophet, faying, d And they took the thir- 
ty pieces of filver, the price of him that was valued 

hel'bnghfof II whom they of the children of Ifrael did value. 

10 And gave them for the potter's field, as the 
Lord appointed me.) 

11 II And Jefus flood before the governor ; and the 
governor afked him. faying, Art thou the king of the 
Jews ? And Jefus faid unto him, Thou fayefl. 

12 And when he was accufed of the chief priefts 
and elders, he anfwered nothing. 

13 Then faid Pilate unto him, Hearefl thou not 
how many things they witnefs againfl thee ? 

14 And he anfwered him to never a word ; info- 
much that the governor marvelled greatly. 

15 IT e Now at that feaft the governor was wont to 
releafe unto the people a prifoner, whom they would. 

16 And they had then a notable prifoner, called 
Barabbas. 

17 Therefore, when they were gathered together, 
Pilate faid unto them, Whom will ye that I releafe 
unto you ? Barabbas, or Jefus which is called Chrift ? 

18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered 
him. 

19 If When he was fet down on the judgment feat, 
his wife fent unto him, faying, Have thou nothing to 
do with that juft man : for I have fuffered many 
things this day in a dream becaufe of him. 

20 If f But the chief priefts and elders perfuaded the 
multitude that they fhould aik Barabbas, and deftroy 
Jefus. 

21 The governor anfwered, and faid unto them, 
Whether of the twain will ye that I releafe unto you ? 
They faid, Barabbas. 

22 Pilate faith unto them, Whatfhall I do then 
with Jefus, which is called Chrift ? They all fay unto 
him, Let him be crucified. 

23 And the Governor faid, Why, what evil hath 
he done ? But they cried out the more, faying, Let 
him be crucified. 

24 When Pilate faw that he could prevail nothing, 
but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and 
waihed his hands before the multitude, faying, I am 
innocent of the blood of this juft perlbn ; fee ye to it. 
. 25 Then anfwered all the people, and faid, His 
Blood be on us, and on our children. 

; 26 Then releafed he Barabbas unto them ; and, 
when he had fcourged Jefus, he delivered him to be

29 If And when they had platted a crown of thorns, 
they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right 
hand; and they _ bowed^ the knee before hiin, and 
mocked him, faying, Hail, king of the Jews ! 

30 And they fpit upon him, and took the reed, Sncl 
fmote him on the head. 

31 And after that they had mocked him, they took 
the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on 
him, and led him away to crucify hi?n. 

32 And, as they came out, h they found a man of 5*^i'* 
Cyrene, Simon by name ; him they compelled to : -i^ c 
bear his crofs. 

33 If 'And when they were come unto a place called » J ch -" ! s " 
Golgotha, that is to fay, A place of a fcull, 

34 They gave him vinegar to drink, mingled -with 
gall : and, when he had tailed thereof, he would not 
drink. 

35 And they crucified him, and parted his gar- 
ments, calling lots ; that it might be fulfilled which 
was fpoken by the prophet, k They parted my gar- 
ments among them, and upon my vefture did they 
caft lots. 

36 And, fitting down, they watched him there ; 

37 And fet up over his head his accufation written, 
THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS! 

38 Then were there two thieves crucified with 
him ; one on the right hand, and another on the left. 

39 If And they that palled by reviled him, wagging 
their heads, 

40 And faying. Thou that deftroyeft the temple, 
and buiideft it in three days, fave thyfelf : if thou be 
the Son of God, come down from the crofs. 

41 Likewife alfo the chief priefts mocking him, 
with the fcribes and elders, laid, 

42 He faved others, himfelf he cannot fave. If he 
be the King of Ifrael, let him now come down from 
the crofs, and we will believe him.

The thieves alfo, which were crucified with 
caft the fame in his teeth. 

45 ff Now from the fixth hour, there was darknefs 
over all the land unto the ninth hour. 

46 And about the ninth hour, Jefus cried with a 
loud voice, faying, Eli, Eli, lama fabachfhani ? that 

is to fay, m My God, My God, why haft thou for- "■•Psaia 
faken me ? 

47 Some of them that flood there, when they heard 
that, faid, This man callcth for Elias. 

48 And ftraitway one of them ran, and took a 
fponge, n and filled it with vinegar, and put it on a l^r r - 
reed, and gave him to drink. 

49 The reft faid, Let be, let us fee whether Elias 
will come to fave him. 

50 If Jefus, when he had cried again with a loud 
voice, yielded up the ghoft. 

51 And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in 
twain from the top to the bottom : and the earth did 
quake, and the rocks rent,

and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 

54 Now, when the centurion, and they that were 
with him, watching Jefus, faw the earthquake, and 
thoi'e things that were done, they feared greatly, fay- 
ing, Truly this was the Son of God. 

55 And many women were there, beholding afar 
off", which followed Jefus from Galilee, miniftering 
unto him : 

56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and Mary 
the mother of James and Jofes, and the mother of 
Zebedee's children. 

57 If ° When the even was come, there came a rich 
man of Arimathea, named Jofeph, who alfo himfelf 
was Jefus' difciple : 

58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jefus. 
Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. 

59 And when Jofeph had taken the body, he wrap- 
ped it in a clean linen cloth, 

60 And laid it in his own new tomb, which lie had 
hewn out in the rock : and he rolled a great ftone to 
.the door of the fepulchre, and departed. 

61 And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other 
Mary fitting over againfl the fepulchre. 

62 II Now, the next day, that followed the day of 
the preparation, the chief prieits and Pharifees came 
together unto Pilate, 

63 Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver 
faid, while he was yet alive, After three days I will 
rife again. 

64 Command, therefore, that the fepulchre be made 
fure until the third day, left his difciples come by night 
and Ileal him away, and fay unto the people, He is 
rifen from the dead : fo the laft error fhall be worfe 
than the firft. 

65 Pilate faid unto them, Ye have a watch ; go 
your way, make it as fure as ye can. 

66 So they went and made the fepulchre fure, feal- 
ing the Hone; and fetting a watch.

IN the a end of the fabbath, as it began to dawn to- 
ward the firft day of the week, came Mary Magda-

for the angel of the Lord defcended from heaven, and 
came and rolled back the ftone from the door, and 
fat upon it 

3 His countenance was like lightning, and his rai- 
ment white as fnow ; 

4 And for fear of him the keepers didfhake, and 
became as dead men. 

5 And the angel anfwered and faid unto the wo- 
men, Fear not ye : for 1 know that ye feek Jefus 
which was crucified. 

6 He is not here ; for he is rifen, as he'faid. Come, 
fee the place where the Lord lay. 

7 And go quickly, and tell his difciples, that he is 
rifen from the dead ; and, behold, he goe'th before 
you into Galilee ; there fliall ye fee Mm 1 lo, I have 
told yon. 

8 And they departed quickly from the fepulchre 
with fear and greatjoy, and did run to bring his dif- 
ciples word. 

9 If And, as they went to tell his difciples, behold, 
Jefus met 'them, faying, All hail. And they came and 
held him by the feet, and worshipped -him. 

10 Then faid Jefus unto them, Be not afraid : go 
tell my brethren that they go into Galilee, and there 
ihall they fee me, 

11 If Now, when they were going, behold, fome 
of the watch came into the city, and i hewed unto the 
chief priefts all the things that were done. 

12 And when they were affembled with the elders, 
and had taken counfel, they gave large sums of mo- 
ney unto the foldiers, 

13 Saying, Say ye, His difciples came by night, 
and Hole him away while we flept. 

14 And if this come to the governor's ears, we 
will perfuade him, and fecure you. 

15 So they took the money, and did as they were 
taught : and this faying is commonly reported among 
the Jews until this day. 

16 II Then the eleven difciples went away into Gall, 
lee, into a mountain where. Jefus had appointed them; 

17 And when they faw him, they worshipped him : 
but fome doubted. 

18 U And Jefus came, and (pake unto them, faying,

came fromNazareth oi Galilee, and was baptized of 
John, in Jordan. 

10 And ftraightway, coming up out of the water, 
L?riwf' c *' he & w t' ie heavens || opened, and the Spirit, like a 

dove, defending upon him, 

11 And there came a voice from heaven, saying, 
Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well p leafed. 

12 If s And immediately the fpirit driveth him into 
the wildernefs. 

13 And he was there in the wildernefs forty days 
tempted of Satan ; and was with the wild beaits ; and 
the angels miniftered unto him. 

14 11 h Now after that John was put in prifon, Jefus 
came into Galilee, preaching the goipel of the king- 
dom of God. 

1 5 And faying, The time is fulfilled, and thekingdom 
of God is at hand : repent ye, and believe the goipel. 

16 If ' Now, as he walked by the lea of Galilee, he 
faw Simon, and Andrew his brother, calling a net 
into the fea : for they were fifhers. 

17 And Jefus iaicl unto them, Come ye after me, 
and I will make you to become filhers of men. 

18 And ftraightway they forfook their nets, and 
followed him. 

19 And when he had gone a little further thence, 
he faw James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother, 
who alio were in the fhip mending their nets. 

20 And ftraightway he called them : and they left 
their father Zebedee in the fhip with the hired fer- 
vants, and went after him. 

21 k And they went into Capernaum ; and ftraight- 
way on the fabbath day he entered into the fynagogue 
and taught. 

22 l And they were aftonifhed at his doctrine : for 
he taught them as one that had authority, and not as 
the fcribes. 

23 If m And there was in their fynagogue a man 
with an unclean fpirit ; and he cried out, 

24 Saying, Let us alone ; what have we to do with 
thee thou Jefus of Nazareth ? art thou come to deftroy 
us ? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God. 

25 And Jefus rebuked him, faying, Hold thy peace, 
and come out of him. 

26 And when the unclean fpirit had torn him, and 
cried with a loud voice, he came out of him. 

27 And they were all amazed, infomuch that they 
queftioned among themfeives, faying, What thing is 
this ? what new doctrine is this r for with authority 
commandeth he even the unclean fpirits, and they do 
obey him. 

28 And immediately his fame fpread abroad 
throughout all the region round about Galilee. 

29 If n And forthwith, when they were come out of 
the fynagogue, they entered into the houfe of Simon 
and Andrew with James and John. 

30 But Simon's wife's mother lay fick of a fever : 
and anon they tell him of her.

lifted her up ; and immediately the lever left her, and

_ 34 And he healed many that were lick of divers 
difeafes, and call out many devils ; and fuflered not 
the devils \\ to fpeak, becaufe they knew him. 

55 If And in the morning, rifing up a great while 
before day, he went out, and departed into a folitary 
place, and there prayed. 

36 And Simon, and they that were with him, fol- 
lowed after him. 

_ 37 And when they had found him, they faid unto 
him, All men feek for thee. 

38 And he faid unto them, Let us go into the next 
towns, that I may preach there alfo : for therefore 
came I forth. 

39 And he preached in their fynagogues through- 
out all Galilee, and call out devils. 

40 If ° And there came a leper to him, befeeching 
him, and kneeling down to him, and faying unto him, 
If thou wilt, thou canit make me clean. 

41 And Jefus, moved with companion^ put forth 
his hand, and touched him, and faith unto him, I will ; 
be thou clean. 

42 And, as foon as he had fpoken, immediately the 
leprofy departed from him, and he was cleanfed. 

43 And he flraitly charged him, and forthwith fent 
him away ; 

44 And faith unto him, See thou fay nothing to any 
man : but go thy way, ihew thyfelf to the prieft, and 
offer for thy cleanfing thofe things which Mofes com- 
manded, for a teftimony unto them. 

45 p But he went out, and began to publifh it much, 
and to blaze abroad the matter, infomuch that Jefus 
could no more openly enter into the city, but was with- 
out in defert places : and they came to him from every 
quarter.

fasting, 23 and viudicateth them for plucking the 
cars of corn on the sabbath day. 

AND again a he entered into Capernaum after some 
days ; and it was noifed that he was in the houle. 

2 And ftraightway many were gathered together, 
infomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, 
not fo much as about the door .; and he preached the 
word unto them. 

3 If And they come unto him, bringing one fick of 
the palfy, which was borne of four. 

4 And, when they could not come nigh unto him 
for the prefs, they uncovered the roof w here he was, 
and, when they had broken it up, they let down the 
bed wherein the lick of the palfy lay. 

5 When Jefus faw their faith, he faid unto the lick 
of the palfy, Son, thy fins be forgiven thee. 

6 But there were certain of the fcribes fitting there, 
and reafoning in their hearts,

17 When Jefus heard z7,he faith unto them, They 
that are whole have no need of the phyfician, but 
they that are lick. I came not to call the righteous, 
but finners to repentance. 

18 If d And the difciples of John and of the Phari- 
fees ul'ed to faft ; and they come and fay unto him, 
Why do the difciples of John and of the Pharifees 
fail, but thy difciples fait not ? 

19 And Jefus faid unto them, Can the children of

them ? as long as they have the bridegroom with them 
they cannot faft. 

20 But the days will come, when the bridegroom 
fhall be taken away from them, and then IhaU they

began, as they went, to pluck the ears of corn. 

24 And the Pharifees faid unto him, Behold, why 
do they on the fabbath day that which is not lawful ? 

25 And he faid unto them, Have ye never read 
what David did, when he had need, and was an hun-

there was gathered unto him a great multitude,

it had no depth of earth : 

6 But when the fon was up, it was fcorched ; and, 
becaufe it had no root, it withered away.

them that are without, all these things are done in

that it fhould come abroad. 

23 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 

24 And he faith unto them, Take heed what ye hear.

you : and unto you that hear, fhall more be given.

31 It is like a grain of muftard feed, which, when it

32 But when it is fown, it groweth up, and becom-

ters and chains, and the chains had been plucked 
afunder by him, and the fetters broken in pieces ; 
neither could any man tame him.

and in the tombs, crying and cuttinghimfelfwithltones.

shipped him ; 

7 And cried with a loud voice, and faid, What have 
I to do with thee, Jefus, thou Son of the molt high 
God ? I adj ure thee by God that thou torment me not. 

8 (For he faid unto him, Come out of the man, 
thou unclean fpirit.) 

9 Andhe afkedhim, What is tlry name ? And he an- 
fwered, faying, My name is Legion : for we are many. 

10 And he befought him much that he would not 
fend them away out of the country. 

11 Now there was there, nigh unto the mountains, 
a great herd of fwine feeding. 

12 And all the devils befought him, faying, Send 
us into the fwine, that we may enter into them. 

13 And forthwith Jefus gave them leave. And 
the unclean fpirits went out, and entered into the 
fwine ; and the herd ran violently down a fteep place 
into the fea, (they were about two thoufand,) and 
were choked in the fea. 

14 And they that fed the fwine fled, and told it in 
the city, and in the country. And they went out to 
fee what it was that was done.

24 And Jesus went with him ; and much people 
followed him, and thronged him.

fhall be whole. 

29 And ftraightway the fountain of her blood was 
dried up ; and liie felt in her body that fhe was healed 
of that plague. 

# 30 And Jefus, immediately knowing in hi mfelf that 
virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the 
prefs, and faid, Who touched my clothes ? 

31 And hisdifciples faid unto him, Thou feed the 
multitude thronging thee, and fayeft thou, Who 
touched me ? 

32 And he looked round about to fee her that had 
done this thing. 

33 But the woman, fearing and trembling, know- 
ing what was done in her, came and fell down before 
him, and told him all the truth. 

34 And he faid unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath 
made thee whole ; go in peace, and be whole of thy 
plague. 

35 If Wliile heyetfpake, there came from the ruler of

37 And he fuffered no man to follow him, fave 
Peter, and James, and John the brother of James. 

38 And he cometh to the houfe of the ruler of the 
fynagogue, and feeth the tumult, and them that wept 
and wailed greatly.

Why make ye this ado, and weep ? the damfel is not

had put them all out, he taketh the father and the

fuch like things do ye. 

14 If d And, when he had called all the people unto <imm.i$m9

of yon, and underftand. 

15 There is nothing from without a man that en- 
tering into him can defile him : but the things which 
come out of him, thofe are they that defile the man. * 

16 If any man have ears to hear, let him hear. 

17 And, when he was entered into the houfe from the 
people, his difciples afked him concerning the parable. 

18 And he faith unto them, Are ye fo without un- 
derftanding alfo ? Do ye not perceive, that whatfoever 
thing from without entereth into the man, it camiot 
defile him ; 

19 Becaufe it entereth not into his heart, but into the 
belly, andgoeth out into the draught, purging all meats? 

20 And he faid, That which cometh out of the man, 
that defileth the man. 

21 £ For from within, out of the heart of men, pro- %.% en 2 \ 6s; 
ceed evil thoughts, adulteries, fornications, murders, mm.% ij,

23 All thefe evil things come from within, and de- 
file the man. 

24 If f And from thence he arofe and went into the f ***• 'su- 
borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered into an houfe, 

and would have no man know it; but he could not 
be hid. 

25 For a certain woman whofe young daughter had 
an unclean fpirit, heard of him, and came and fell at 
his feet ; 

26 (The woman was a || Greek, a Syrophenician lor.Gemiiei

forth the devil out of her daughter. 

27 But Jefus faid unto her, Let the children firft 
be filled : for it is not meet to take the children's 
bread, and to caft it unto the dogs. 

28 And fhe anfwered, and faid unto him, Yes, 
Lord : yet the dogs under the table eat' of the chil-

his tongue ; 

34 And, looking up to heaven, he fighed, and faith

35 And ftraightway his ears were opened , and the 
firing of his tongue was loofed and he fpake plain. 

36 And he charged them that they fhould tell no 
man : but the more he charged them, fo much the 
more a great deal they publifned it ; 

37 And were beyond meafure, aftonifhed, faying, 
He hath done all things well : he maketh both the 
deaf to hear, and the dumb to fpeak. 

CHAP. VIII. 
1 Christ miraculously feedeth four thousand: 10 he re-

and explaineth his meaning : 22 he giveth a blind 
man sight. 27 The peoples opinions, and Peters 
confession of him. 31 Christ foresbcweth his death, 
and rebuke th Peter .-34 he exhorteth to self denial, 
and not to be ashamed of him and his gospel. 

IN thofe days, a the multitude being very great, and 
having nothing to eat, Jefus called his difciples un- 
to him, and faith unto them, 

2 I have companion on the multitude becaufe they 
have now been with me three days, and have nothing 
to eat ; 

3 And if I fend them away falling to their own 
houfes, they will faint by the way : for divers of them 
came from far. 

4 And his difciples anfwered him, From whence 
can a man iatisfy theie men with bread here in the 
wildernefs ? 

5 And he afked them, How many loaves have ye ? 
And they laid, Seven. 

6 And he commanded the people to fit down on 
the ground : and he took the feven loaves, and gave 
thanks, and brake, and gave to his difciples to fet be- 
fore them ; and they did fet them before the people. 

7 And they had a few fmall fifties : and he bleffed, 
and commanded to fet them alfo before them. 

8 So they did eat, and were filled : and they took 
up, of the broken meat that was left, feven bafkets. 

9 And they that had eaten were about four thou- 
fand : and he lent them away. 

10 If And ftraightway he entered into a fhip with 
his difciples, and came into the parts of Dalmanutha. 

11 b And the Pharifees came forth, and began to 
queftion with him, feeking of him a fign from heaven, 
tempting him. 

12 And he fighed deeply in his fpirit, and faith, 
Why doth this generation feek after a lign ? Verily 
I fay unto you,. There fhall no fign be given unto this 
generation. 

13 And he left them, and, entering into the fhip 
again, departed to the other fide. 

14 TI c Now the disciples had forgotten to take bread, 
neither had they in the fhip with them more than 
one loaf. 

15 And he charged them? faying, Take heed, be- 
ware of the leaven of the Pharifees, and o/the leaven 
of Herodl. 

16 And they reafoned among themfelves, faying, 
It is d becaufe we have no bread. 

17 And, when Jefus knew it, he faith unto them, 
Why reafon yc becaufe ye have no bread , ? perceive 



ye not yet, neither underlland ? have ye your heart 
yet hardened ? 

1 8 Having eyes, fee ye not ? and having ears, hear v 
ye not ? and do ye not remember ? 

19 When I brake the five loaves among five thou- 
fand, how many balkets full of fragments took ye up ? 
They fay unto him, Twelve. 

20 And when the feven among four thoufand, how 
many balkets full of fragments took ye up ? And they 
faid, Seven. 

21 And he faid unto them, How is it that ye do 
not underlland ? 

22 H And he cometh to Betlifaida ; and they bring 
a blind man unto him, and befought him to touch him. 

23 And he took the blind man by the hand, and led 
him out of the town ; and, when he had fpit on his 
eyes, and put his hands upon him, he afked him if he 
faw aught ? 

24 And he looked up, and faid, I fee men as trees 
walking. 

25 After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, 
and made him look up i and he was reftored and faw 
every man clearly. 

26 And he fent him away to hishoufe, faying, Nei- 
ther go into the town, nor tell it to any in the town. 

27 TI e And Jefus went out and his difciples into the 
towns of Cefarea Philippi : and by the way he afked 
his difciples, faying unto them, Whom do men fay 
that I am ? 

28 And they anfwered, John the Baptifl ; but fome 
say, Elias ; and others, One of the prophets. 

29 And he faith unto them, But whom fay ye that 

1 am I And Peter anfwereth, and faith unto him, Thou 
art the Chrift. 

30 And he charged them that they fhould tell no 
man of him. 

31 II And he began to teach them, that the Son of 
man mufl fuffer many things, and be rejected of the 
elders, and of the chief priefts, and fcribes, and be 
killed ; and after three days rife again. 

32 And he fpake that faying openly. And Peter 
took him and began to rebuke him. 

33 But when he had turned about, and looked on 
his difciples, he rebuked Peter, faying, Get thee be- 
hind me, Satan : for thou favourefl not the things that 
be of God, but the things that be of men. 

34 II And when he had called the people unto him, 
with his difciples alfo, he faid unto them, f Whofoever 
will come after me, let him deny himfelf, and take up 
his crofs, and follow me. 

35 For whofoever will fave his life, fhall lofe it ; 
but whofoever fhall lofe his life for my fake and the 
gofpel's, the fame fhall fave it. 

36 For what fhall it profit a man if he fhall gain the 
whole world and lofe his own foul ? 

37 Or what fhall a man give in exchange for his foul ? 

38 E Whofoever, therefore, fhall be alhamcdof me, 
raid of my words, in this adulterous and linful gener- 
ation, of him alfo fhall the Son of man be afhamed, 
when he cometh in the glory of his father, with the 
holy angels.

That there be fome of them that Hand here, 
which fliall not talle of death till they have fecn the 
kingdom of God come with -power. 
• 2 V And, after fix days, Jefus taketh with him Pe- 
ter, and James, and John, and leadeth them up into 
an high mountain apart by themfelves : and he was 
transfigured before them. 

3 And his raiment became fhining, exceeding white 
as fnow : fo as no fuller on earth can white them. 

4 And there appeared unto them Elias with Mo- 
fes : and they were talking with Jefus. 

5 And Peter anfwered, and faid to Jefus, Mailer, 
it is good for us to be here : and let us make three 
tabernacles ; one for thee, and one for Mofes, and 
one for Elias. 

6_ For he will not what to fay : for they were fore 
afraid. 

7 And there was a cloud that overlhadowed them : 
and a voice came out of the cloud, faying, This ie my 
beloved Son ; hear him. 

8 And fuddenly, when they had looked round 
about, they faw no man any more, fave Jefus only 
with themfelves. 

9 Ancf , as they came down from the mountain, he 
charged them that they ihould tell no man what things 
they had feen, till the Son of man were rifen from the 
dead. 

10 And they kept that faying with themfelves, 
queilioning one with another what the rifing from the 
dead Ihould mean. 

1 1 If And they alked him, faying, Why fay the 
fcribes that Elias mull firll come ? 

12 And he anfwered, and told them, Elias verily 
cometh firll, and relloreth all things ; and c how it is 
written of the Son of man, that he multfuffer many 
things, and be fet at nought. 

13 But I fay unto you, That Elias is indeed come, 
and they have done unto him whatfoever they lifted, 
as it is written of him. 

14 II d And, when he came to his difciples, he faw a 
great multitude about them, and the fcribes queilion- 
ing with them- 

15 And llraightway all the people, when they be- 
held him, were greatly amazed, and, running to him, 
faluted him. 

IS And he alked the fcribes, What quellion ye 
il with them ! 

17 And one of the multitude anfwered, and faid, 
Mailer, I have brought unto thee my fon, which hath 
a dumb fpirit : 

18 And where foe ver he taketh him, he || teareth 
him; and he foameth, and gnafheth with his teeth, 
and pineth away : and I {pake to thy difciples that 
they Ihould caft him out ; and they could not. 

19 tie anfwereth him, and faith, O faithlefs gener- 
ation ! how longlhall I be with you ? how long lhall 
I fuffer you ? Bring him unto me. 

20 And they brought him unto him : and, when 
he faw him, llraightway the fpirk tare him ; and he 
fell op the ground, and wallowed, foaming. 

21 And he alked his father, How long is it ago fince 
this came" unto him ? And he faid, Of a child.

23 Jeius laid unto him, If thou canll believe 
things are poifible to him that believeth. 

24 And llraightway the father of the child cried out, 
and laid with tears, Lord, I believe; help thou mine 
unbelief. 

25 When Jefus faw that the people came running 
together, he rebuked the foul fpirit, faying unto him, 
Thou dumb and deaf fpirit, I charge thee, come out 
of him, and enter no more into him. 

26 And the spirit cried, and rent him fore, and 
jame out of him : and he was as one dead ; infomuch 
that many faid, He is dead. 

27 But Jefus took him by the hand, and lifted him 
up ; and he arofe. 

_ 28 And when he was come into the houfe, his dif- 
ciples alked him privately, Why could not we call 
him out ? 

29 And he faid unto them, This kind can come 
forth by nothing but by prayer and falling. 
^ 30 1[ And they departed thence, and palled through 
Galilee ; and he would not that any man Ihould know it. 

3 1 e For he taught his difciples, and faid unto them, 
The Son of man is delivered into the hands of men, 
and they fliall kill him ; and after that he is killed, he 
lhall rile the third day. 

32 But they underilood not that fajdng, and were 
afraid to alk him. 

33 IT f And he came to Capernaum : and, being in 
the houfe, he afked them, What was it that ye difput- 
ed among yourfelves by the way ? 

34 But they held their peace ; for by the way they 
had difputed among themfelves, who should be the 
greateft. 

35 And he fat down, and called the twelve, and 
faith unto them, If any man defire to be firft, the same 
(hall be laft of all, and fervant of all. 

36 And he took a child, and fet him in the midlt 
of them : and, when he had taken him in his arms, 
he faid unto them, 

37 Whofoever lhall receive one of fuch children 
in my name, receive th me ; and whofoever lhall re- 
ceive me, receiveth not me, but him that fent me. 

38 H e And John anfwered him, faying, Mailer, we g Luke 9 49,

eth not us ; and we forbade him, becaufe he followeth 
not us. 

39 But Jefus faid, Forbid him not : h for there is no & 1 cor.u 3. 
man which lhall do a miracle in my name, that can 
lightly fpeak evil of me. 

40 For he that is not againft us is on our part.

1 Christ teacheth in Judea; 2 answer eth the Pharisees' 1 
question concerning divorce ; 13 blesseth the children 
that were brought unto him; 17 ' instruct eth a rich man 
how to attain eternal life, 23 andsheweth how diffi- 
cult it is for the rich to enter into the kingdom of God; 
28 promiscth rewards to them who for sake any thing 
for his gospels sake; 32 foretelleth his own death 
and resurrection ; 35 putteth by the ambitious suit of 
Zebedee'ssons; 46 and giveth sight to blindBartimeus. 

AND a he arofe from thence, and cometh into the 
coafts of Judea, by the farther fide of Jordan : 
and the people refort unto him again ; and, as he was 
wont, he taught them again. 

2 H And the Pharifees came to him, and afked him. 
Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife ? tempting 
him, 

3 And he anfwered, and faid unto them, What did 
Mofes command you ? 

4 And they faid, Mofes fuffered to write a bill of 
divorcement, and to put her away. 

5 And Jefus anfwered, and faid unto them, For the 
hardnefs of your heart, he wrote you this precept : 

6 But from the beginning of the creation God made 
them male and female. 

7 For this caufe fhall a man leave his father "and 
mother, and cleave to his wife ; 

8 And they twain fhall be one flefh : fo then they 
are no more twain, but one flefh. 

9 What> therefore, God hath joined together, let 
not man put afunder. 

10 And in the houfe his difciples afked him again 
of the fame matter. 

11 And he faith unto them, b Whofoever fhall put 
away his wife, and marry another, committeth adul- 
tery againft her. 

12 And if a woman fhall put awav her hufband, and 
be married to another, fhe committeth adultery. 

13 i If « And they brought young children to him, 
that he fhould touch them ; and his difciples rebuked 
thole that brought them. 

14 But when Jefus law it, he was much difpleafed, 
and laid unto them, Suffer the little children to come 
unto me and forbid them not : for of fuch is the king-

17 II d And, when he was gone forth into the way, 
there came one running, and kneeled to him , and afked 
him, Good Mafler, what fhall I do that I may inherit **»*• '» 1& 
eternal life ? 

18 And Jefus faid unto him, Why calleft thou me 
good ? there is none good, but one, that is, God. 

19 Thou knoweft the commandments, Do not 
commit adultery, Do not kill, Do not fteal, Do not 
bear falfe witnefs, Defraud not, Honour thy father 
and mother. 

20 And he anfwered, and faid unto him, Mailer, 
all thefe have I obferved from my youth. 

21 Then Jefus, beholding him, loved him, and faid 
unto him, One thing thou lackeft : go thy way, fell 
whatfoever thou haft, and give to the poor, and thou 
fhalt have treafure in heaven ; and come, take up the 
crofs, and follow me. 

22 And he was fad at that faying, and went away 
grieved : for he had great poffeffions. 

23 II And Jefus looked round about, and faithunto 
his difciples, How hardly fhall they that have riches 
enter into the kingdom of God ! 

24 And the difciples were aftonifhed at his words. 
But Jefus anfwereth again, and faith unto them, Chil- 
dren, how hard _ is it for them that truft in riches to 
enter into the kingdom of God ! 

25 It is eafier for a camel to go through the eye of 
a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom 
of God. 

26 And they were aftonifhed out of meafure, fay- 
ing among themfelves, Who then can be faved ? 

27 And Jefus, looking upon them, faith, With men 
it is impoffible, but not with God : for with God all 
things are poflible. 

28 H e Then Peter began to fay unto him, Lo, we etm. 19 s» 
have left all, and have followed thee. 

29 And Jefus anfwered, and faid, Verily I fay unto 
you, There is no man that hath left houfe, or brethren, 
or fifters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, 
or lands, for my fake and the gofpel's, 

_ 30 But he fhall receive an hundred fold now in this

laft firft. 

32 H g And they were in the way going up to- Jem- gMat.2017; 
falem ; and Jefus went before them : and they were 
amazed ; and as they followed, they^vere afraid. 

And he took again the twelve, and began "to. tell them 
what things fhould happen unto him, 

33 Saying, Behold, 'we go up to Jerufalem ; and the 
Son of man fhall be delivered unto the chief priefts, 
and unto the fcribes ; and they fhall condemn him to 
death, and fhall deliver him to the Gentiles : 

34 And they fhall mock him, and fhall fcourge him, 
and fhall fpit upon him, and ihall kill him ; and the 
third day he fhall rife again. 

35 H h And James and John, the fons of Zebedce, h M at.3o:». 
come unto him, faying, Mafler, we would that thour 
fhouldeft do for us whatfoever we fhall defire. 

36 And he faid unto them, What would ye that I 
fhould do for you ? 

37 They faid unto him, Grant unto us that we may 
fit, one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left 
hand, in thy glory.

faid unto them, Ye fhall indeed drink of the cup that

withal fhall ye be baptized : 

40 But to fit on my right hand, and on my left hand. 
is not mine to give ; but it shall be given to them for 
whom it is prepared. 

41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be 
much difpleafed with James and John. 

42 But Jefus called them to. him, and faith unto 
|S'4 25 ' tilem > i Ye know that they which || are accounted to 
vol rule over the Gentiles, exercife lorclfhip over them ; 

and their great ones exercife authority upon them.. 

43 But fo fhall it not be among you r but whofoever 
will be great among you, iliall be your minifler ; 

44 And whofoever of you will be the chiefefl, fliall 
be fervant of all.

iflered unto, but to minifter, and to give his life a ran- 
fom for many.

out of Jericho with his difciples, and a great number 
of people, blind Bartimeus, thefon of Timeus, fat by 
the highway fide begging. 

47 And, when he heard that it was Jefus of iNaza- 
reth, he began to cry out, and fay, Jefus, thou Son of 
David, have mercy on me. 

48 And many charged him that he fhould hold his 
peace :_ but he cried the more a great deal, Thou Son 
of David, have mercy on me. 

49 And Jefus flood ftill, and commanded him to be 
called. And they call the blind man, faying unto him, 
Be of good comfort, rife ; he calleth thee. 

50 And he, calling away his garment, rofe, and 
came to Jefus. 

.51 And Jefus anfwered, and faid unto him, What 
wilt thou that I fhould do unto thee ? The blind-man 
faid unto him. Lord, that I might receive my light. 

52 And Jefus faid unto him, Go thy way - y thy faith 
hath || made thee whole. And immediately he receiv-

7 And they brought the coit to Jefus, and cafl their v ^ r>

8 And many fpread their garments in the way ; and 
others cut down branches off the trees, and flrawed 
them in the way. 

9 And they that went before, and they that follow- 
ed, cried, faying, Hofanna ; Bleffed is he that cometh 
in the name of the Lord :. 

1.0 Bleffed be the kingdom of our father David, that 
cometh in the name of the Lord : Hofanna in the highefl. 

11 And Jefus entered into Jerufalem,. and into the 
temple : and when he had looked round about upon 
all things, and now the eventide was come, he went 
out unto Bethany with the twelve. 

12 If And on the morrow, when they were come 
from Bethany, he was hungry. 

13 b _And feeing a fig tree afar off having leaves, he b Matti ° 
came, if haply he might find any thing thereon : and, 
when he came to it,, he found nothing but leaves ; for 

the time of figs was not yet.

eat fruit of thee hereafter for ever. And his difciples 
heard it. 

15 If c And they come toJerufalem: and Jefus Avent into t™*!**'

bought in the temple, and overthrew the tables of the 
money changers, and the feats of them that fold doves ; 

16 And would not fuffer that any man fhould carry 
any veffel through the temple. 

17 And he taught, faying unto them, Is it not writ- 
ten, My houfe iliall be called of all nations the houfe 
of prayer ? but ye have made it a den of thieves. 

18 And the fcribes and chief priefls heard it, and 
fought how they might deflroy him : for they fear- 
ed him, becaufe all the people was aflonifhed at his 
doclrine^ 

1 9 And when even was come he went out of the city. 

20 If d And in the morning, as they paffed by, they 
faw the fig tree dried up from the roots.

CHAP. XII. 

1 In the parable of the vineyard let out to wicked hus- 
bandmen, Christ foretelleth the reprobation of the 
Jews, and the calling of the Gentiles : 13 his reply 
to the insidious question concerning paying tribute to 
Cesar : 18 he confuteth the Sadducees, who question 
him concerning the resurrection : 28 he sheweth which 
are the two great -commandments of the law : 35 he 
proposeth a difficulty to the scribes concerning Christ : 
38 hecautioneth the. people against their ambition and 
hypocrisy ; 41 and value ib the poor widow' 's two 
mites above all the gifts of the rich, 

AND a he began to fpeak unto them by parables. 
A certain man planted a vineyard, and fet an 
hedge about it, and digged a place for the wine fat, 
and built a tower, and let it out to hufbandmen, and 
went into a far country. 

2 And at the feafon he fent to the hufbandmen a fer- 
vant, that he might receive from the hufbandmen of 
the fruit of the vineyard. 

3 And they caught him, and beat him, and fent him 
away empty. 

4 And again he fent unto them another feryant ; 
and at him they call ftones, and wounded him in the 
head, and fent him away ihamefully handled. 

5 And again he fent another ; and him they killed, 
and many others ; beating fome, and killing fome. 

6 Having yet, therefore, one fon, his well beloved, 
he fent him alfo laft unto them, faying, They will 
reverence my fon. 

7 But thofe hufbandmen faid among themfelves, 
This is the heir ; come, let us kill him, and the inher- 
itance lhall be ours. 

8 And they took him, and killed him, and caft him 
out of the vineyard. 

9 What lhall, therefore, the lord of the vineyard 
•do ? He will come and deftroy the hufbandmen, and 
will give the vineyard unto others. 

10 And have ye not read thisfcripture, b The ftone 
which the builders rejected, is become the head of the 
corner : 

11 This was the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous 
in our eyes ? 

12 And t'-ey fought to lay hold on him, but feared 
the people ; for they knew that he had fpoken the par- 
able againft them : and they left him, and went their 
way. 

13 Tl c And they fend unto him certain of the Phari- 
fees, and of the Herodians, to catch him in his words. 

14 And when they were come, they fay unto him, 
Mailer, we know that thou art true, and careft for 
no man ; for thou regardeit not theperfon of men, but

teacheft the way of God in truth 
give tribute to Cefar, or not ? 

15 Shall we give, or lhall we not give ? But he, 
knowing their hypocrify, laid unto them, Why tempt 

ye me ? bring me a * penny, that I may fee it. * value in 

16 And they brought it. And he faith unto them, *£ £&T 
Whofe is this image and fuperfcriptiori ? And they P™", h " ! 
faid unto him, Cefar's. 

17 And Jefus, anfwering, faid unto them, Render to 
Cefar the things that are Cefar's, and to God the things 
that are God's. And they marvelled at him. 

18 V Then come unto him the Sadducees, which fay 
there is no refurreftion ; and they alked him, faying, 

19 Mailer, Mofes wrote unto us, If a man's bro- 
ther die, and leave his wife behind him, and leave no 
children, that his brother fhould take his wife, and 
raife up feed unto his brother. 

20 Now there were feven brethren : and the firft 
took a wife, and dying left no feed. 

21 And the fecond took her, and died, neither left 
he any feed : and the third like wife. 

22 And the feven had her, and left no feed : laft of 
all the woman died alfo. 

23 In the refurreclion, therefore, when they fhall 
rife, whofe wife fhall lhe be of them ? for the feven 
had her to wife. 

24 And Jefus, anfwering, faid unto them, Do ye 
not therefore err, becaufe ye know not the fcriptures, 
neither the power of God ? 

25 For when they lhall rife from the dead, they 
neither marry nor are given in marriage ; but are as 
the angels which are in heaven. 

26 And as touching the dead that they rife ; have 
ye not read in the book of Moles, how in the bufh 
Godfpake unto him, faying, I am the God of Abra- 
ham, and the God of Ifaac, and the God of Jacob ? 

27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of 
the living : ye therefore, do greatly err. 

28 IT e And one of the fcribes came, and, having 
heard them reafoning together, and perceiving that 
he had anfwered them well, alked him, Which is the 
firft commandment of all ? 

29 And Jefus anfwered him, The firft of all the 
commandments is, Hear, O Ifrael ; The Lord our God 
is one Lord : 

30 And thou fhalt love the Lord thy God with all 
thy heart, and with all thy foul, and with all thy mind, 
and with all thy ftrength. This is the firll command- 
ment. 

31 And the fecond is like, namely this, Thou fhalt 
love thy neighbour as thyfelf. There is none other 
commandment greater than thefe. 

32 And the fcribes faid unto him, Well, Mafler, 
thou haft faid the truth : for there is one God, and 
there is none other but he ; 

33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all. 
the underftanding, and with aU the foul, and with all 
the ftrength, and to love his neighbour as himfelf, is 
more than all whole burnt offerings and facrifices. 

34 And when Jefus faw that he anfwered difcreetly, 
he faid unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom 
of God. And no man after that durft afk him any 
question. 

35 II f And Jefus anfwered and faid, whilehe taught fM.«ii.

and love falutations in the market places,

seeMatI029 -and many that were rich call in much. 

42 And there came a certain poor widow, and flie 
threw in two * mites, which make a farthing. 

43 And he called unto him his difciples, and faith 
unto them, Verily I fay unto you, That this poor 
widow hath caft more in than all they which have 
caft into the treafury. 

44 For all thei/ did caft in of their abundance ; but

1 Christ forctelleih the destruction of the temple : 3 
sheive th what signs and calamities should go before, 
24 and what should happen at the time of his cwn- 
ing. 32 No man knoweth the day or hour ;, we must 
therefore watch and pray, that we may not oe found 
unprepared. I * 

ND. a as he went out of the temple, one'' of his 
difciples faith unto him, Mailer, fee what man* 
ner of ftones and what buildings are here ! „ 

2 And Jefus, anfwering, faid unto him, Seeftthou 
thefe great buildings ? there fhall not be left one ftone 
upon another, that fhall not be thrown down. 

3 If And as he fat upon the mount of Olives, over 
againft the temple, Peter, and James, and John, and 
Andrew, afked him privately, 

b Mata. 24 3- 4 b Tell us, when fhall thefe things be ? and what 
shall be the iign when. all thefe things fhall be fulfilled ? 

5 And Jefus, anfwering them, began to fay, Take 
heed left any man deceive you : 

6 For many fhall come in my name, faying, I am 
Christ ; and fhall deceive many. 

7 And when ye fhall hear of wars and rumours of 
wars, be ye not troubled : for such things muft needs 
be ; but the end shall not be yet. 

8 For nation fhall rife againft nation, and kingdom 
againft kingdom ; and there fhall be earthquakes in 
divers places, and there fhall be famines and troubles: 

The won! thefe are the beginnings of || forrows. 
nanm'o^h 9 But take heed to yourfelvcs : for they fhall de- 
t ^H^f n ofa liver you up to councils ; and in the fynagogues ye

up againft their parents, and fhall caufe them to be put 
to death. 

13 And ye fhall be hated of all men for my name's 
fake ; but he that fhall endure unto the end, the fame 
fhall be faved. 

14 If d But when ye fhall fee the abomination of def- 
olation, fpoken of by Daniel the prophet, ftanding 
where it ought not, (let him that readeth underftand,) 
then let them that be in Judea flee to the mountains : 

15 And let him that is on the houfe top not go 
down into the hqufe, neither enter therein, to take 
any thing out of his houfe : 

16 And let him that is in the field not turn back 
again for to take up his garment. 

17 But woe to them that are with child, and to 
them that give fuck, in thofe days ! 

18 And pray ye that your flight be not in the winter. 

19 For in thofe days fhall be affliction, fuch as was 
not from the beginning of the creation which God 
created unto this time, neither fhall be. 
' 20 And except that the Lord had fhortened thofe 
days, no flefh fhould be faved ; but for the elect's fake, 
whom he hath chofen, he hath fhortened the days. 

21 e And then, if any man fhall fay to you,' Lo, 
here is Chrift ; or, lo he is there ; believe him not : 

22 For falfe Chrifts and falfe prophets fhall rife, and 
fhall fhew figns and wonders, to feduce, if it were 
poflible, even the elecl. 

23 But take ye heed : behold, I have foretold you 
all things. 

2f^f f But in thofe days, after that tribulation, the f 9 Ma » h - 2 4 
fun fhall be darkened, and the moon fhall not give 
her light ; 

25 And the ftars of heaven fhall fall,, and the pow- 
ers that are in heaven fhall be fhaken. 

26 And then fliali they fee .the Son of man coming 
in the clouds, with great power and glory. 

■ ; 27 And then fliali he fend his angels, and fliali 
gather together his eleel from the four winds, from 
the utternioft part of the earth to the uttermoft part 
of heaven. 

28 Now learn a parable of the fig tree ; When her 
branch is yet tender, and putteth forth leaves, ye know 
that fummer is near : 

29 So ye, in like manner, when ye fliali fee thefe 
things come to pafs, know that it is nigh, even at the 
doors. 

30 Verily I fay unto you, That this generation fliali 
not pafs till all thefe things be done. 

3 1 Heaven and earth fhall pafs away ; but my words 
fliali not pafs away. 

32 U But of that day and that hour knoweth no man, 
no, not the angels which are in heaven, neither the 
Son, but the Father. 

33 e Take ye heed, watch and pray : for ye know g Matth. 24 
not when the time is. 

34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a far 
journey, who left his houfe, and gave authority to 
his fervants, and to every man his work, and com- 
manded the porter to watch, 

35 Watch ye, therefore : for ye know not when 
the mafter of the houfe cometh ; at even, or at mid- 
night, or at the cock crowing, or in the morning : 

56 Left, coming fuddenly, he find you fieeping. 

57 And what I fay unto you, I fay unto all, Watch.

CHAP. XIV. 

1 The chief priests and scribes conspire against Christ. 
3 A woman poureth precious ointment on bis head. 
10 Judas covenanteth to betray him ; 12 Christ eat- 
eth the passover with his disciples, and sheweth that 
one of them shoidd betray him : 22 he institute th his 
last supper : 26 he foretelleth the desertion of all his 
disciples, and Peter's denial of him : 32 his agony 
and prayer in the garden. 43 Judas betray eth him, 
and he is apprehended ; his disciples flee : 53 he is 
carried before the council, falsely accused, examin- 
ed, pronounced guilty, and treated ivith indignity. 
66 Peter's denial and repentance. 

AFTER a two days was the feast o/the paflbyer, 
and of unleavened bread : and the chief priefts 
and the fcribes fought how they might take him by 
craft, and put him to death. j 

2 But they faid, Not on the feaft day, left there be 
an uproar of the people. 

3 If b And being in Bethany, in the houfe of Simon 
the leper, as he fat at meat, there came a woman, hav- 
ing an alabafler box of ointment of || fpikenard, very 
precious ; and fhe brake the box, and poured it on 
his head. 

4 And there were fome that had indignation within 
themfelves, and faid, Why was this wafte of the oint- 
ment made ? 

5 For it might have been fold for more than three 
hundred || pence, and have been given to the poor. 
And they murmured againfl her. 

6 And Jefus faid, Let her alone, why trouble ye 
her ? fhe hath wrought a good work on me. ff^ 

7 For ye have the poor with you always, and wnen- 
foeverye will, ye may do them good ; but me- ye have 
not always. 

8 She hath done what fhe could ; fhe is come a- 
forehand to anoint my body to the burying. 

9 Verily I fay unto you, Wherefoever this gofpel 
f hall be preached throughout the whole world, this 
alfo that lhe hath done lhall be Ipoken of, for a me- 
morial of her. 

10 IF c And Judas Ifeariot, one of the twelve, went 
unto the chief priefts, to betray him unto them. 

11 And when they heard it, they were glad, and 
promifed to give him money. And he fought how 
he might conveniently betray him. 

12 II d And the firft day of unleavened bread, when 
they || killed the paffover, his difciples faid unto him, 
Where wilt thou that we go and prepare, that thou 
mayeil eat the paffover ? 

13 And he fendeth forth two of his difciples, and 
faith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there fliall 
meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water : follow him. 

14 And wherefoever he lhall go in, lay ye to the 
good man of the houfe, The Mailer faith, Where is 
the gueft chamber, where I iliall eat the paffover with 
my difciples ? 

15 And he will fhew you a large upper room fur- 
nil bed and prepared : there make ready for us. 

_ 16 And his difciples went forth, and came into the 
city, and found as he had faid unto them : and they 
made ready the paffover. 

17 e And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. 

18 And as they Hit and did eat, Jefus faid, Verily 
I fay unto you, One of you which eateth with me, 
lhall Dctray me.

20 And he anfwered, and faid unto them, It is one 
of the twelve that dippeth with me in the difli. 

21 The Son of man indeed goeth, as is written 
of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of 
man is betrayed ! good were it for that man if he had 
never been born. 

22 IF f And as they did eat, Jefus took bread, and 
blefled, and brake it, and gave to them, and faid, 
Take, eat ; this is my body. 

23 And he took the cup, and, when he had given 
thanks, he gave^ it to them : and they all drank of it. 

24 And he laid unto them, This is my blood of the 
new teftament, which is (hed for many. 

25 Verily I fay unto you, I will drink no more of 
the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new 
in the kingdom of God. 

26 IF And when they had fung an ||hyrnn, they II ° r > />«#«• 
went out into the mount of Olives. 

27 E And Jefus faith unto them, All ye fliall be of- £***•** 
fended becaufe of me this night : for it is written, I 

will fmite the fhepherd, and the iheep fliall be fcat- 
tered. 

28 But after that I am rifen, I will go before you 
into Galilee. 

29 h But Peter faid unto him, Although all fliall be ***•■*& 
offended, yet will not i. 

30 And Jefus faith unto him, Verily I fay unto 
thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock 
crow twice, thou lhalt deny me thrice. 

_ 31 But he fpake the more vehemently, If I fliould 
die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wife. Like- 
wife alfo laid they all. 

32 IF ' And they came to a place which was named * Mat - 26 & : 
Gethfemane : and he faith to his difciples, Sit ye here, 

while I lhall pray. 

33 And he taketh with him Peter, and James, and 
John, and began to be fore amazed, and to be very 
heavy ; 

34 And faith unto them, My foul is exceeding for- 
rowful unto death : tarry ye here and watch. 

35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the 
ground, and prayed, that, if it were poffible, the hour 
might pals from him. 

36 And he faid, Abba, Father, all things are poffi- 
ble unto thee ; take away this cup from me ? never- 
thelefs, not what I will, but what thou wilt. 

_37 And he cometh, and fuideth them lleeping, and 
faith unto Peter, Simon, fleepeft thou ! couldeft not 
thou watch one hour ? 

38 Watch ye and pray, left ye enter into temptation: 
the fpirit truly is ready, but the flelh is weak. 

39 And again he went away, and prayed, and fpake 
the fame words. 

40 And when he returned, he found them afleep 
again ; (for their eyes were heavy :) neither will they 
what to anfwerhim. 

41 And he cometh the third time, and faith unto 
them, Sleep on now, and take your reft : it is enough, 
the hour is come ; behold, the Son of man is betrayed 
into the hands of finners. 

42 Rife up, let us go : lo, he that betraycth me is 
at hand.

44 And he that betrayed him had given them a

45 And as foon as he was come, he goeth ftraightway

46 And they laid their hands on him, and took him. 

47 And one of them that itood by drewafword, and 
fmote a fervant of the high prieft, and cut off his ear. 

43 And Jefus anfwered, and faid unto them, Are 
ye come out, as againft a thief, with fwords and with 
ftaves to take me ? 

49 I was daily with you in the temple, teaching, and 
ye took me not: but the fcriptures mull be fulfilled. 

50 And they all forfook him and fled. . 

51 And there followed him a certain young man, 
having a linen cloth caft about his naked body ; and 
the young men laid hold on him : 

52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them 
naked. 

- .53 If 1 And they led Jefus away to the high prieft ; 
•and with him were affembled all the chief priefts, and 
the elders, and the fcribes. 

54 And Peter followed him afar off, even into the 
palace of the high prieft : and he fat with the fervants, 
and warmed himfelf at the fire. 

55 m And the chief priefts, and all the council, 
fought for witnefs againft Jefus to put him to death ; 
and found none : 

56 For many bear faife witnefs againft him ; but 
their witnefs agreed not together. 

51 And there arofe certain, and bare faife witnefs 
againft him, faying, 

58 We heard him fay, I will deftroy this temple 
that is made with hands, and within three days I will 
build another made without hands. 

59 But neither fo did their witnefs agree together. 

60 And the high prieft ftood up in the midft, and 
afked Jefus, faying, Anfwereft thou nothing? what is 
it which thefe witnefs againft thee '? 

61 But he held his peace, and anfwered nothing. 
Again the high prieft afked him, and faid unto him, 
Art thou the Chrift, the Son of the bleffed ? 

62 And Jefus laid, I am : n and ye fhallfee the Son 
of man fitting on the right hand of power, and coming 
in the clouds of heaven. 

63 Then the high prieft rent his clothes, and faith, 
What need we any further witneffes ? 

64 Ye have heard the blafphemy : what think ye ? 
And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. _ 

65 And fome began to fpit on him, and to cover his 
face, and to buffet him, and to fay unto him, Prophefy : 
and the fervants did ftrike him with the palms of their 
hands. 

66 If ° And as Peter was beneath in the palace, 
there cometh one of the maids of the high prieft :

looked upen him, and faid,, And thou alio waft with

68 But he denied, faying, I know not, neither un-

the porch ; and the cock crew. 

69 And a maid faw him again, and began to fay to

them : for thou art a "Galilean, and thy fpeech agreeth 
thereto. 

71 But he began to curfe and tofwear, saying, I 
know not this man of whom ye fpeak.

1 Jesus is brought bound and accused before Pilate ; his 
silence before the governor. .6 Pilate, prevailed upon 
by the clamour s of the people , releasethBar abbas, and 
giveth up Jesus to be crucified. 16 Christ is mocked 
of the soldiers, crowned with thorns, and led to the 
place of crucifixion : 24 he is crucified between two 
thieves ; 29 reviled; 33 and, calling upon God, ex- 
pireth. 38 The veil of the temple rent. 39 The cen- 
turion's confession, &c, 

AND c ftraightway in the morning the chief priefts 
held a confultation with the elders and fcribes, 
and the whole council, and bound Jefus, and carried 
him away, and delivered him to Pilate. 

2 And Pilate alked him, Art thou the king of the 
Jews ? And he,anfwering, faid unto him,Thou fayeft it. 

3 And the chief priefts accufed him of many things : 
but he anfwered nothing. 

4 b And Pilate afked him again, faying, Anfwereft 
thou nothing? behold how many things they witnefs 
againft thee. 

5 But Jefus yet anfwered nothing; fo that Pilate 
marvelled. 

6 If Now at that feaft he releafed unto them one 
prifoner, whofnfoever they defired". 

7 And there was one named Barabbas, which lay 
bound with them that had made infurreclion with him, 
who had committed murder in the infurreclion. 

8 -And the multitude, trying aloud, began to defire 
him to do as he had ever done unto them. 

9 But Pilate anfwered them, faying, Will ye that I 
releafe unto you the King ,of the Jews ? 

l6 (For he knew that the chief priefts had delivered 
him for envy.) 

11 But the chief priefts moved the people, that he 
fhould rather releafe Barabbas unto them. 

12 And Pilate anfwered, and faid again unto them, 
What will ye then that I fhall do unto him whom ye 
call the King of the Jews ? 

13 And they cried out again, Crucify him. 

14 Then Pilate faid unto them, Why ? what evil 
hath he done ? and they cried out the more exceed- 
ingly, Crucify him. 

15 And so Pilate, willing to content the people, re- 
leafed Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jefus, when 
he had fcourged him, to be crucified. 

16 If And the foldiers led him away into the hall called 
Pretoriuim; and they call together the whole band. 

17 And they clothed him with purple, and platted 
a crown of thorns, and put it about his head, 

18 And began to falute him, Hail, King of the Jews ! 

19 And they fmote him on the head with a reed, 
and did fpit upon him, and, bowing their knees, wor- 
fhipped him. „ 

20 And when they had mocked him, they took oil 
the purple from him, and put his own clothes on him, 

and led him out to crucify him. . eMattV

32 Let C brill the king of Ifrael c'.efcend now from

that were crucified with him, reviled him. 

33 If And, when the iixth hour was come, there was 
darknefs over the whole land until the ninth hour. 

34 And at the ninth hour Jefus cried with a loud 
voice, laying, e Eloi, Eloi, lama fabachthani ? which 
is, being interpreted, My God, my God, why halt thou 
forfaken me ? 

35 Andfome of them that flood by, when they 
heard it, faid, Behold, he calleth Elias. 

36 And one ran, and filled a fponge full of vinegar, 
and put it on a reed, and gave him to drink,* faying, 
Let alcne ; let us fee whether Elias will come to take 
him down, 

37 And Jefus cried with a loud voice, and gave up 
the ghoft. 

38 If And the veil of the temple was rent in twain, 
from the top to the bottom. 

39 *ff And when the centurion, which flood over

41 (Who alfo, when he was in Galilee, f followed 
him, and miniftered unto him ;) and many other 
women which came up with him unto Jerufalem.

it was the preparation, that is, the day before the

43 Jofeph of Arimathea, an honourable counfellor, 
which alfo waited for the kingdom of God, came and 
wentin boldly unto Pilate, andcraved the body of Jefus. 

44 And Pilate marvelled if he were already dead : 
and, calling unto him the centurion, he afked him 
whether he had been any while dead. 

t 45 And when he knew it of the centurion, he gave 
the body to Jofeph: 

46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, 
and wrapped him in the linen, and fuel him in a fepul- 
chre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a ftone 
unto the door of the fepulchre.

4 (And when they looked, they faw that the ftone 
was rolled away ;) for it was very great. 

5 b And, entering into the fepulchre, they faw a

1 Lake's preface. 5 An angel promiseth a son to Zach-

wife Elisabeth conceiveth. 26 The angel's visit to 
Mary. 39 Elisabeth prophesietb. 46 Mary's song. 
57 John the Baptist's birth and circumcision. 64 
Zacharias' mouth opened : 67 his prophecy. 

FORASMUCH as many have taken in hand to fet 
forth in order a declaration of thofe things which 
are moft furely believed among us, 

2 Even as they delivered them unto us, which 
from the beginning were eye witneffes, and minifters 
of the word ; 

3 It feemed good to me alfo, having had perfecl 
understanding of all things from the very firft, to 
write unto thee in order, moft excellent Theophilus, 

4 That thou mighteft know the certainty of thofe 
things wherein thou haft been inftrucled. 

5 IF nnHERE was, in the days of Herod the king 

Jl of ludea, a certain pried named Zachari- 
as, of the courfe of Abia : and his wife was of the 
daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elifabeth. 

6 And they were both righteous before God, walk- 
ing in all the commandments and ordinances of the 
Lord blamelefs. 

7 And they had no child, becaufe that Elifabeth was 
barren : and they both were nonu well ftricken in years. 

8 And it came to pafs, that, while he executed the 
prieft's office before God, in the order of his courfe, 

9 According to the cuftom of the prieft's office, 
his lot was to burn incenfe when he went into the 
temple of the Lord. 

10 a And the whole multitude of the people were 
praying without at the time of incenfe. 

11 And there appeared unto him an angel of the 
Lord Handing on the right fide of the altar of incenfe. 

12 And when Zacharias faw him, he was troubled, 
and fear fell upon him. _ 

13 But the angel faid unto him, Fear not, Zacha- 
rias : for my prayer is heard ; and thy wife Elifabeth 
fhall bear thee a fon, and thou ihalt call his name 
John. 

14 And thou fhalt have joy and gladnefs ; and 
many (hall rejoice at his birth. 

15 For he fhall be great in the fight of the Lord, 
and fhall drink neither wine nor ftrong drink ; and 
he fhall be filled with the Holy Ghoft, even from his 
mother's womb. 

16 b And many of the children of Ifrael fhall he 
turn to the Lord their God. 

17 And he fhall go before him in the fpirit and 
power of Elias, to turn the hearts of the fathers to 
the children, and the difobedient || to the wifdom of 
the juft, to make ready a people prepared for the 
Lord. 

18 II And Zacharias faid unto 'the angel, Where- 
by fhall I know this ? for I am an old y*an, and my 
wife well ftricken in years. 

19 And the angel anfwering, faid umo him, I am 
Gabriel, that ftand in the prefence of God ; and am 
fentto fpeak unto thee, and to fhew thee thefe glad 
tidings. 

20 And, behold, thou fhalt be dumb, and not able 



to fpeak, until the day that thefe things fhall be per- * ef °f *!* 
formed, becaufe thou believeft not my words, which eSS^D«n! 
fhall be fulfilled in their feafon. f^ th 

21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and mar- ^-^^^^ 
veiled that he tarried fo long in the temple. 

22 And when he came out, he could not fpeak unto 
them : and they perceived that he had feen a vifion in 
the temple ; for he beckoned unto them, and remain- 
ed fpeechlefs. 

23 And it came to pafs, that, as foon as the days of 
his miniftration were accomplifhed, he departed to his 
own houfe. 

24 If And after thofe days his wife Elifabeth con- 
ceived, and hid herfelf five months, faying, 

25 Thus hath the Lord dealt with me in the days 
wherein he looked on 7ne, to take away my reproach 
among men. 

26 1 And in the fixth month, the angel Gabriel 
was fent from God unto a city of Galilee, named 
Nazareth, 

27 To a virgin efpoufed to a man whofe name was 
Jofeph, of the houfe of David ; and the virgin's name 
was Mary. 

28 And the angel came in unto her, and faid, Hail, 
thou that art 11 highly favoured, the Lord is with thee : 
bleffed art thou among women. 

29 And when fhe law him, fhe was troubled at his 
faying, and caft in her mind what manner offalutation 
this fhould be. 

30 And the angel faid unto her, Fear not, Mary : 
for thou haft found favour with God. 

31 c And, behold, thou fhalt conceive in thy womb, 
and bring forth a Son, and fhalt call his name JESUS. 

32 He fhall be great, and fhall be called The Son 
of the Higheft : and the Lord God fhall give unto him 
the throne of his father David : 

33 d And he fhall reign over the houfe of Jacob for ££3:* I* 
ever : and of his kingdom there fhall be no end. 

34 Then faid Mary unto the angel, How fhall this 
be, feeing I know not a man ? 

35 And the angel anfwered, and faid unto her, The 
Holy Ghoft fhall come upon thee, and the power of 
the Higheft fhall overfhadow thee : therefore alfo, 
that holy thing which fhall be born of thee, fhall be 
called The Son of God. 

36 And, behold, thy coufin Elifabeth, (lie hath alfo 
conceived a fon in her old age : and this is the fixth 
month with her who was called barren. 

37 For with God nothing fhall be impoffible. 

38 And Mary faid, Behold the handmaid of the 
Lord ; be it unto me according to thy word. And the 
angel departed from her. 

39 If And Mary arofe in thofe days, and went into 
the hill country with hafle, into a city of Juda, 

40 And entered into the houfe of Zacharias, and 
faluted Elifabeth. 

41 And it came to pafs, that, when Elifabeth heard 
the falutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb ; 
and Elifabeth was filled with the Holy Ghoft : 

42 And fhe fpake out with a loud voice, and faid, 
Bleffed art thou among women, and bleffed is the 
fruit of thy womb. 

43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of 
I my Lord ihould come to me ?

45 And blefled is ihe || that believed : for there 
fli'all be a performance of thole things which were told 
her from the Lord. 

46 Ti And Mary faid,Myfoul doth magnify the Lord, 

47 And my fpirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour : 

48 For he hath regarded the low eftate of his hand- 
maiden : for, behold, from henceforth all generations 
iliall call me blefled. 

49 For he that is mighty hath done to me great 
things; and holy is his name. 

50 And his mercy is on them that fear him from 
generation to generation. 

51 e He hath ihe wed itrength with his arm: f he hath 
fcattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. 

52 g He hath put down the mighty from their feats, 
and exalted them of low degree. 

53 h He hath filled the hungry with good things ; 
and the rich he hath lent empty away. 

54 He hath holpen his fervant Ifrael, i in remem-

and returned to her own houfe. 

57 liNow Elifabeth's full time came, that ihe 
fhould be delivered ; and fhe brought forth a fon. 

58 And her neighbours and her coufins heard how 
the Lord had fhewed great mercy upon her : and 
they rejoiced with her. 

59 And it came to pafs, that on the eighth day they 
came to circumcife the child : and they called him 
Zacharias, after the name of his father. 

60 And his mother anfwered and faid, Not so ; but 
he iliall be called John. 

61 And they faid unto her, There is none of thy 
kindred that is called by this name. 

62 And they made figns to his father how he would 
have him called. 

63 And he aiked for a writing table, and wrote, 
faying, His name is John. And they marvelled all. 

64 1 And his mouth was opened immediatelj , and 
his tongue loosed, and he fpake, and praifed God. 

65 And fear came on all that dwelt round about 
them : and all thefe || fayings were noifed abroad 
throughout all the hill country of Judea. 

66 And all they that had heard them, laid them up 
in their hearts, faying, What manner of child fhall this 
be ! And the hand of the Lord was with him. 

67 H And his father Zacharias was filled with the 
Holy Ghoft, and propheiied, faying, 

68 Blefled be the Lord God of Ifrael ; for he hath 
vifited and redeemed his people, 

69 ] And hath raifed up an horn of falvation for us

whofe name was Simeon ; and the fame man %vas juft

the Holy Ghoft was upon him. 

26 And it was revealed unto him by the Holy 
Ghoft, that he fhould not fee death before he had feen 
the Lord's Chrift. 

27 And he came by the Spirit into the temple : and 
when the parents brought in the child Jefus, to do for 
him after the cufiom of the law. 

28 Then tcok he him up in his arms and bleffed 
God, and faid, 

29 Lord, now letteft thou thy fervant depart in 
peace, according to thy word : 

30 For mine eyes have feen thy falvation, 

31 Which thou haft prepared before the face of all 
people ; 

32 A light to lighten the Gentiles, and the glory of 
thy people Ifrael. 

33 And Jofeph and his mother marvelled at thofe 
things which were fpoken of him. 

34 And Simeon bleffed them, and faid unto Mary 
his mother, Behold, this child is fet for the f fall and 
rifmg again of many in Ifrael : and for a fign which 
fhall be fpoken againft ; 

35 (Yea, a fword fhall pierce through thy own foul 
alfo;) that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.

among their kinsfolk and acquaintance. 

45 And when they found him not, they turned 
back again to Jerufalem, feeking him. 

46 And it came to pafs, that after three days they

1 Christ fastetb, and is tempted : 14 he beginneth to 
preach : 16 the people of Nazareth admire his gra- 
cious words, but, being immediately offended, go 
about to kill him : 34 he caste th out a devil ; 38 heal- 
eth Simon' 's mother in law, 40 and many other dis- 
eased persons. 41 The devils acknowledge Christ : 
4-2 he preacheth in the cities of Galilee. 

AND a Jefus, being full of the Holy Ghoft, returned a MattU - 4 ! 
from Jordan, and was led by the Spirit into the 
wildernefs, 

2 Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in 
thofe days he did eat nothing : and, when they were 
ended, he afterward hungred. 

3 And the devil faid unto him, If thou be the Son 
of God, command this ftone that it be made bread. 

4 And Jefus anfwered him, faying, It is written, 
That man fhall not live by bread alone, but by every 
word of God. 

5 And the devil taking him up into an high moun- 
tain, fhewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world 
in a moment of time. 

6 And the devil faid unto him, All this power will 
I give thee, and the glory of them : for that is delivered 
unto me ; and to whomfoever I will', I give it. 

7 If thou, therefore, wilt || worfhip me, all fhall be J*#? 

thine. fore me. 

8 And Jefus anfwered and faid unto him, Get thee 
behind me, Satan : for it is written, Thou fhalt wor- 
fhip the Lord thy God, and him only lhalt thou ferve. 

9 And he brought him to Jerufalem, and fet him on 
a pinnacle of the temple, and faid unto him, If thou be 
the Son of God, call thy felf down from hence : 

10 For it is written, he fhall give his angels charge 
over thee, to keep thee ; 

11 And in their hands they fhall bear thee up, left 
at any time thou daJh thy foot againft a ftone. 

12 And Jefus, anfwering, faid unto him, It is faid, 
Thou fhalt not tempt the Lord thy God. 

13 And when the devil had ended all the tempta- 
tion, he departed from him for a leafon.

rified of all. 

16 If And he came to b Nazareth, where he had 
been brought up : and, as his cuftora was, he went 
into the fynagogue on the fabbath day, and ltood up 
for to read. 

17 And there was delivered unto him the book of 
the prophet Efaias : and when he had opened the 
book, he found the place where it was written, 

18 c The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, becaufe he 
hath anointed me to preach the gofpel to the poor ; 
he hath fent me to heal the broken hearted, to preach 
deliverance to the captives, and recovering of light to 
the blind, to fet at liberty them that are bruifed : 

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord. 

20 And he clofed the book, and he gave it again to 
the minifter, and fat down. And the eyes of all them 
that were in the fynagogue were fattened on him. 

21 And he began to fay unto them, This day is 
this fcripture fulfilled in your ears. 

22 And all bare him witnefs, and wondered at the 
gracious words which proceeded out of his mouth. 
And they faid, Is not this Jofeph's fon ? 

23 And he faid unto them, Ye will furely fay unto 
me this proverb, Phyfician, heal thyfelf : whatfoever 
we have heard done in Capernaum, do alio here in 
thy country. 

24 And he faid, Verily I fay unto you, No d pro- 
phet is accepted in his own country. 

25 But I tell you of a truth , c Many widows were 
in Ifrael in the days of Elias, when the heaven was 
fhut up three years and fix months, when great fam- 
ine was throughout all the land ; 

26 But unto none of them was Elias fent, fave un- 
to Sarepta, a city of Sidon, unto a woman that was a 
widow. 

27 f And many lepers were in Ifrael in the time of 
Elifeus the prophet : and none of them was cleanfed, 
faving Naaman the Syrian. 

28 And all they in the fynagogue, when they heard 
thefe things, were filled with wrath, 

29 And rofe up, and thruft him out of the city, and 
led him unto the || brow of the hill whereon their city 
was built, that they might call him down headlong. 

30 But he, palling through the midft of them, went 
his way, 

31 And came down to Capernaum, a city of Gali- 
lee, and taught them on the fabbath days. 

32 And they were aftoniilied at his doclrine : siov 
his word was with power. 

33 II h And in the fynagogue there was a man which 
had a fpirit of an unclean devil, and cried out with 
a loud voice, 

34 Saying, || Let us alone; what have we to do with 
thee, thou Jefus of Nazareth ? artthou come to deftroy 
us ? I know thee who thou art, the Holy One of God.' 

35 And Jefus rebuked him, faying, Hold thy peace, 
and come out of him. And when the devil had thrown 
him in the midft, he came out of him, and hurt him not. 

36 And they were all amazed, and Ipake among 
themfelves, faying, What a word is this ! for with 
authority and power he commandeth the unclean 
fpirits, and they come out. 

37 And the lame of him went out into every place 
of the country round about.

miraculous draught of fishes ; Simon and the two 
sons of Zebedee follow him. 12 Christ cleanseth a le-

the scribes and Pharisees, and healeth one sick of the 
palsy ; 27 calleth Levi from the receipt of custom ; 
29 justifieth his eating with publicans and sinners ; 
33 excuseth his disciples from fasting ; 36 and illus- 
trateth the matter by a two fold parable v 

AND a it came to pafs, that, as the people preffed aMat.- 4 "8. 
upon him to hear the word of God, he flood by 
the lake of Gennefar et, 

2 And faw two imps Handing by the lake : but the 
fiihermen were gone out of them, and were wafhing 
their nets. 

3 And he entered into one of the fhips which was 
Simon's, and prayed him that he would thruft out a 
little from the land. And he fat down, and taught 
the people out of the fhip. 

4 IF Now, when he had left fpeaking, he faid unto 
Simon, Launch out into the deep, and let down your 
nets for a draught. 

5 And Simon, anfwering, faid unto him, Mailer, 
we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing : 
neverthelefs, at thy word I will let down the net. 

6 And when they had this done, they enclofed a 
great multitude of filhes ; and their net brake. 

7 And they beckoned unto their partners, which 
were in the other fhip, that they fhould come and help 
them. And they came and filled both the fhips, 16 
that they began to fink. 

8 When Simon Peter faw it, he fell down at Jefus' 
knees, faying, Depart from me ; for I am a finfui man, 
O Lord. 

9 For he was aftonifhed, and all that were with him, 
at the draught of the fifhes which they had taken : 

10 And fo was alfo James and John, the fons of 
Zebedee, which were partners with Simon. And 
Jefus faid unto Simon, Fear not ; from henceforth 
thou fhalt catch men. 

1 1 And when they had brought their fhips to land, 
they forfook all, and followed him.

if thou wilt, thou canft make me clean. 

13 And he put forth his hand, and touched him, 
faying, I will ; be thou clean. And immediately the 
leprofy departed from him. 

14 And he charged him to tell no man : but go, 
and lhew thyfelf to the prieft, and offer for thy cieanf- 
ing according as Mofes commanded, for a teftimony 
unto them. 

15 But fo much the more went there a fame abroad 
of him ; and great multitudes came together to hear, 
and to be healed by him of their infirmities. 

16 IT And he withdrew himfelf into the wildernefs, 
and prayed. _ 

17 If And it came to pafs on a certain day, as he was 
teaching, that there were Pharifees and doctors of the 
law fitting by, which were come out of every town of 
Galilee, and Judea, and Jerufalem ; and the power of 
the Lord was present to heal them. 

cMatth.92. 18 c And, behold, men brought in a bed a man 
which w;as taken with a palfy : and they fought means 
to bring him in, and to lay him before him. 

19 And when they could not find by what way they 
might bring him in, becaufe of the multitude, they went 
upon the houfe top, and let him down through the 
tiling, with his couch, into the midft before Jef lis. 

20 And, when he faw their faith, he laid unto him, 
Man, thy fins are forgiven thee. 

21 And the fcribes and the Pharifees began to rea- 
fon, faying, Who is this which fpeaketh blafphemies 1 
who can forgive fins but God alone I 

22 But, when Jefus perceived their thoughts, he, an- 
fweringjfaidunto them, What reafon ye in your hearts ? 

23 Whether is eafier to fay, Thy fins be forgiven 
thee ; or to fay, Rife up and walk ? 

24 But that ye may know that the Son of man hath 
power upon earth to forgive fins, (he faid unto the 
lick of the palfy,) I fay unto thee, Arife, and take up 
thy couch, and go unto thine houfe. 

25 And immediately he role up before them, and 
took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own 
houfe, glorifying God. 

26 And they were all amazed, and they glorified 
God, and were filled with fear, faying, We have feen 
flrange things today. 

27 II d And after thefe things he went forth, and 
faw a publican, named Levi, fitting at the receipt of 
cuflom : and he faid unto him, Follow me. 

28 And he left all, rofe up, and followed him. 

29 IF And Levi made him a great feaft in his own 
houfe : and there was a great company of publicans, 
and of others that fat down with them. 

30 But their fcribes and Pharifees murmured againft 
his dii'ciples, faying, Why do ye eat and drink with 
publicans and finners ? 

•31 And Jefus, anfwering, faid unto them, They that 
are whole need not a phyfician : but they that are lick. 

32 I came not to call the righteous, but finners to 
repentance. 

33 IF And they faid unto him, e Why do the difciples 
of John faft often, and make prayers, and likewife the 
disciples of the Pharifees ; but thine eat and drink ? 

34 And he faid unto them. Can ye make the chil- 
dren of the bride chamber fall while the bridegroom 
is with them ? 

35 But the days, will come, when the bridegroom

manputteth a piece of a new garment upon an old ; 
if other wile, then both the new maketh a rent, and 
the piece that was taken out of the new agreeth not 
with the old. 

37 And no man putteth new wine into old bottles : 
elfe the new wine will burfl the bottles, and be fpilled, 
and the bottles fhall perifli. 

38 But new wine mull be put into new bottles ; and 
both are preferved. 

39 No man, alfo, having drunk old wine, firaight-

rubbing them in their hands.

Why do ye that which is not lawful to do on the 
fabbath days I 

3 And Jefus anfwering them, faid, Have ye. not 
readfo much as this, what David did, when himfelf 
was an hungred, and they which were with him ; 

4 How he went into the houfe of God, and did 
take and eat the ihewbread, and gave alfo to them 
that were with him ; which is not lawful to eat but 
for the priefb alone ? 

5 And he laid unto them,. That the Son of man is 
Lord alfo of the fabbath.

might find an accufation againft him. 

8 But he knew their thoughts, and faid to the man 
which had the withered hand, Rife up, and fund forili 
in the midft. And he arofe, and flood forth. 

9 Then faid Jefus unto them, I w ill afk yen one 
thing, Is it lawful on the fabbath days to do good, or 
to do evil I to fave life, or to deflroy it ? 

10 And, looking round about upon them all, he 
faid unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. And he

and Simon called Zelotes, 

16 And d Judas the brother \ of James, and Judas 
Ifcariot, which alio was the traitor. 

17 If And he came down with them, and flood in 
the plain ; and the company of his difciples, and a 
great multitude of people out of all Judea and Jerufa- 
lem, and from the fea coafts of Tyre and Sidon, which 
came to hear him, and to be healed of their difeafes ; 

18 And they that were vexed with unclean fpirits : 
and they were healed. 

19 And the whole multitude fought to touch him : 
for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. 

20 II And he lifted up his eyes on his difciples, and 
faid, e Bleifed be ye poor : for yours is the kingdom of 
God. 

21 BlefTcd are ye that hunger now : for ye fhall be 
filled. Bleifed are ye that weep now : for ye mall laugh. 

22 Bleifed are ye when men lhall hate you, and 
when they lhall feparate you from their company, and 
fhall reproach yon, and call out your name as evil, for 
the Son of man's fake. 

23 Rejoice ye in that day, and leap for joy : for, 
behold, your reward is great in heaven : for in the 
like manner did thei-r fathers unto the prophets. 

24 f But woe unto you that are rich ! for ye have 
received your confolation. 

25 s Woe unto you that are full ! for ye lhall hunger. 
Woe unto you that laugh now ! for ye lhall mourn 
and weep. 

26 Woe unto you when all men lhall fpeak well of 
j'ou ! for fo did their fathers to the falfe prophets. 

27 II h But I fay unto you which, hear, Love your 
enemies, do good to them which hate you ; 

28 Blefs them that curfe you, and pray for them 
which defpitefully ufe you. 

29 ' And unto him that fmiteth thee on the one 
cheek, offer alfo the other ; k and him that taketh away 
thy cloak, forbid not to take thy coat alfo. 

30 Give to every man that alketh of thee : and of 
him that taketh away thy goods, alk them not again. 

31 ' And as ye would that men mould do to you, 
do ye alfo to them likewife. 

32 m For if ye love them which love you , what thank 
have ye ? for tinners alfo love thofe that love them. 

33 And if ye do good to them which do good to 
you, what thank have ye ? forfmners alfo do even the 
fame. 

34 n And if ye lend to them of whom ye hope to 
receive, what thank have ye ? for finners alfo lend to 
fmners, to receive as much again. 

35 But love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend, 
hoping for nothing again ; and your reward lhall be 
great; and ye lhall be the children of the Higheft ; for 
he is kind unto the unthankful, and to the evil. 

36 Be ye, therefore, merciful, as your Father alfo 
is merciful. 

37 ° Judge not, and ye fhall not be judged : con- 
demn not, and ye fhall not be condemned ; forgive, 
and ye lhall be forgiven : 

38 Give, and it lhall be given unto you : good 
meafure, preffed down, and lhaken together, and run- 
ning over, lhall men give into your boforn : for with 
the fame meafure that ye mete withal, it mall be 
meafured to you again.

K E. * The centurion s faith % 

blind lead the blind ? lhall they not both fall into the 
ditch ? 

40 * The difciple is not above his mailer : but 
every one || that is perfecl lhall be as his mailer. 

41 r And why beholdelt thou the mote that is in 
thy brother's eye, but perceivell not the beam that is 
in thine own eye ? 

42 Either how canft thou fay to thy brother, Broth- 
er, let me pull out -the mote that is in thine eye, when 
thou thyfelf beholdell not the beam that is in thine

of thine own eye, and then malt thou fee clearly to 
pull out the mote that is in thy brother's eye. 

43 s For a good tree bringeth not forth corrupt fruit ; 
neither doth a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 

44 For every tree is known by his own fruit : for of 
thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble buili 
gather they grapes. 

45 A good man, out of the good treafure of his 
heart, bringeth forth that which is good ; and an evil 
man, out of the evil trealure of his heart, bringeth 
forth that which is evil : for of the abundance of the 
heart his mouth fpeaketh. 

46 IT * And why call ye me, Lord, Lord ; and do tM«a, 
not the things which I fay ? 7 2U 

47 Whofoever cometh to me , and heareth my fayings , 
and doeth them, I will mew you to whom he is like : 

48 He is like aman which built an houfe, and dig- 
ged deep, and laid the foundation on a rock ; and, 
when the flood arofe, the llream beat vehemently 
upon that houfe, and could not fhake it : for it was 
founded upon a rock. 

49 But he that heareth, and doeth not, is like a man 
that, without a foundation, built an houfe upon the 
earth ; againll which the llream did beat vehemently, 
and immediately it fell ; and the ruin of that houfe 
was great. 

CHAP. VII. 

1 Christ admiretb the centurion's singular faith, and 
healeth his absent servant : 11 he raiseth to life the 
widow's son at Nain : 18 he sendeth back John's 
messengers with an account of his miracles : 24 his 
testimony of John: 31 he reproveth theperverseness 
of the people, who neither could be won by the man- 
ners of John nor of himself : 36 he suffer eth a 'woman 
to wash and anoint his feet who had been a sinner ; 
and in a parable sheweth that even the worst of sin- 
ners may be forgiven upon a sincere repentance. 

NOW, when he had ended all hisfaj'ingsin theaudi- 
ence of the people, a he entered into Capernaum. 

2 And a certain centurion's fervant, who was dear 
unto him, was fick, and ready to die. 

3 And, when he heard of Jefus, he fent unto him 
the elders of the Jews, befeeching him that he would 
come and heal his fervant. 

4 And, when they came to Jefus, they befought 
him inilantly, faying, That he was worthy for whom 
he lhould do this : 

5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built us a 
fynagogue. 

6 Then Jefus went with them. And when he was now 
not far from the houfe , the centurion fent friends to . 
him, faying unto him, Lord, trouble not thyfelf; for lam 
not worthy that thou moulded enter under my roof: 

7 Wherefore neither thought I myfelf worthy to

come unto thee : but fay in a word, and my fervant 
fhali be healed. 

8 For I alfo am a man fet under authority, having 
under me foldiers ; and I fay unto one, Go, and he 
goeth ; and to another, Come, and he cometh ; and 
to my fervant, Do this, and he doeth it. 

9 When Jefus heard thefe things» he marvelled at 
him, and turned him about, and faid unto the people 
that followed him, I fay unto you, I have not found 
fo great faith, no, not in Ifrael. 

10 And they that were fent returning to the houfe, 
found the fen-ant whole that had been lick. 

11 IF And it came to pafs the day after, that he went 
into a city called Nain ; and many of his difciples 
Went with him, and much people. 

12 Now, when he came nigh to the gate of the city, 
behold, there was a dead man carried out, the only 
fon of his mother, and fhe was a widow: and much 
people of the city was with her. 

13 And when the Lord faw her, he had compamon 
on her, and faid unto her, Weep not. 

lor,<r<#M. 14 And he came and touched the ||bier : and they 
that bare him flood ftill. And he faid, Young man, I 
fay unto thee, Arife. 

15 And he that was dead, fat up, and began to 
fpeak. And he delivered him to his mother. 

16 And there came a fear on all : and they glorified 
God, faying, Tl'at a great prophet is rifen up among 
us ; and, That God hath vilited his people. 

17 And this rumour of him went forth through- 
out all Judea, and throughout all the region round 
about. 

b.Mat. n 2. 18 H b And the difciples of John fhewed him of all 
thefe things. 

19 And John » calling unto him two of his difciples, 
fent them to Jefus, faying, Art thou he that fhould- 
come ? or look we for another f 

20 When the men were come unto him, they faid, 
John Baptifl hath fent us unto thee, faying, Art thou 
he that fhould come ? or look we for another ? 

21 And in that feme hour he cured many of their 
infirmities and plagues, and of evil fpirits : and unto 
many that were blind lie gave fight. 

22 Then Jefus, anfwering, faid unto them, Go your 
\\ay, and tell John what things ye have feen and 
heard ; how that the blind fee, the lame walk, the 
lepers are cleanfed, the deaf hear, the dead are raifed, 
to the poor the gofpel is preached. 

23 And bleffed is be, whofoever fhall not be offend- 
ed in me. 

24 HAnd, when the meffengers of John were de- 
parted, he began to fpeak unto the people concerning 
John, What went ye out into the wildernefs for to 
foe ? A reed fhaken with the wind ? 

25 But what went ye out for to fee ? A man clothed 
in foft raiment ? Behold, they which are gorgeoufly 
apparelled, and live delicately, are in kings' courts. 

26 But what went ye out for to fee ? A prophet ? 
Yea, 1 fay unto you, and much more than a prophet. 

27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I fend 
my meffenger before thy face, which fhall prepare 
thy way before thee. 

28 For Jl fay unto you, Among thofe that are born 
of women, there is not a greater prophet than John 
the Baptifl : but he that is leait in the kingdom of 
God, is greater than he. 



29 And all the people that heard him, and the pub- 
licans, juftified God, being baptized with the baptifm 
of John. 

50 But the Pharifees and lawyers || rejected the 
counfel of God || againflthemfelves, being not baptiz- 
ed of him. 

_ 31 IT And the Lord faid, c Whereunto then fhall I 
liken the men of this generation ? and to what are 
they like ? 

32 They are like unto children fitting in the mar- 
ket place, and calling one to another, and faying, We 
have piped unto you, and ye have not danced ; we 
have mourned to you, and ye have not wept. 

33 For John the Baptift came neither eating bread, 
nor elrinking wine ; anel ye fay, He hath a devil. 

34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; 
and ye fay , Behold a gluttonous man, and a wine bib- 
ber, a friend of publicans and fmners ! 

35 But wifdom is juftified of all her children. 

36 Tf d And one of the Pharifees defired him that he 
woukl eat with him. And he went into the Pharifee's 
houfe, and fat down to meat. 

57 And, behold, a woman in the city, which was a 
finner, whenflie knewthat Jesus fax. at meat in the Phar- 
ifee's houfe, brought an alabafter box of ointment, 

38 And flood at his feet behind him weeping, and 
began to wafh his feet with tears, and did wipe them 
with the hairs of her head, and killed his feet, and 
anointed them with the ointment. 

39 Now, whenthe Pharifee which had bidden him 
faw it, he fpake within himfelf, faying, This man, if he 
were a prophet, would have known who and what 
manner of woman this is that toucheth him ; for fhe 
is a finner. 

40 And Jefus, anfwering, faid unto him, Simon, I 
have fomewhat to fay unto thee. And he faith, Maf- 
ter, fay on. 

41 There was a certain creditor which had two 
debtors ; the one owed five hundred || pence, and the 
other fifty. 

42 And when they had nothing to pay, he frankly 
forgave them both. Tell me, therefore, which of 
them will love him mofl ? 

43 Simon anfwered and faid, I fuppofe that he to 
whom he forgave mofl. And he faid unto him, Thou 
hafl rightly judged. 

44 And he turned to the woman, and faid unto 
Simon, Seeft thou this woman ? I entered into thine 
houfe, thou gavefl me no water for my feet : but fhe 
hath wafhed my feet with tears, and wiped them with 
the hairs of her head. 

45 Thou gavefl me no kifs : but this women, fincc 
the time I came in, hath not ceafed to kifs my feet. 

46 My head with oil thou didfl not anoint : but this 
woman hath anointed my feet with ointment. 

47 Wherefore, I fay unto thee, Her fins, which are 
many, are forgiven : for flic loved much : but to 
whom little is forgiven, the same loveth little. 

48 And he faid unto her, Thy fins are forgiven. 

49 And they that fat at meat with him began to fay 
within themfelves, Who is this that forgivcth lins alfo ? 

50 And he faid to the woman, Thy faith hath faved 
thee ; go in peace.

ble of the sower. 9 Why Christ taught in parables. 11 
The parable expounded. 1 6 L ight is given to be im- 
proved and communicated. 19 Christ declare tb who 
are his mother and brethren ; 22 stilleth a tempest ; 
26 casteth out the legion of devils, and suffer etb them 
to enter into the swine ; 37 is rejected of the Gada- 
renes; 49 and raiseth J aim >$' daughter. 
ND it came to pais afterward, that he went 
throughout every city and village, preaching, 

and fhewing the glad tidings of the kingdom of God ; 

ami the twelve ivere with him, 

2 And certain women, which had been healed of 
evil ipirits and infirmities, Mary called Magdalene, 
a out of whom went feven devils, 

3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's fteward, 
and Sufanna, and many others, which miniftered un- 
to him of their fubllance. 

4 H b And when much people were gathered to- 
gether, and were come to him out of every city, he 
ipake by a parable : 

5 A Tower went out to fow his feed ; and, as he 
fowed, fome fell by the way fide, and it was trodden 
dowm and the fowls of the air devoured it : 

6 And fome fell upon a rock ; and, as foon as it was 
fprung up, it withered away, becaufc it lacked moiflure. 

7 And fome fell among thorns ; and the thorns 
f prang up with it, and choked it : 

8 And other fell on good ground, and fprang up, 
and bare fruit an hundred fold. And when he had 
laid thefe things, he cried, He that hath ears to hear, 
let him hear. 

9 If And his difeiples afked him, faying, What 
might this parable be ? 

10 And he laid, Unto you it is given to know the 
myfteries of the kingdom of God ; but to others in 
parables : that feeing they might not fee, and hearing 
they might not nnderfland. 

11 11 c Now the parable is this ; the feed is the word 
of God. 

12 Thofe by the way fide are they that hear : then 
cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of 
their hearts, left they fhould believe and be faved. 

13 They on the rock are they, which, when they 
hear, receive the word with joy ; and thefe have no 
root, which for a while believe, arid in time of temp- 
tation fall away. 

14 And that which fell among thorns are they 
which, when they have heard, go forth, and are chok- 
ed with cares, and riches, and pleafures of this life, 
and bring no fruit to perfection. 

15 But that on the good ground are they, which, 
inanhoneft and good heart, having heard the word, 
keep it, and bring forth fruit with patience. 

• 16 If d No man, <when he hath lighted a candle, cov- 
ereth it with a veffel, or putteth it under a bed ; but 
fetteth it on a candleftick, that they which enter in 
may fee the light. 

17 e For nothing is fecret, that fhall not be made 
manifeft ; neither any thing hid, that fhall not be 
known, and come abroad. 

18 Take heed, therefore ,_ how ye hear : , f for whofo- 
ever hath, to him fhall be given ; and whofoever hath 
not, from hi m fhall be taken, even that which he || feem-

21 And he anfwered, and faid unto them, My mo- 
ther and my brethren are thefe which hear the word 
of God, and do it. 

22 IT ^ Now it came to pafs on a certain day. that hsaatt.?^- 
he went into a fhip with his difeiples : and he laid 

unto them, Let us go over unto the other fide of the 
lake. And they launched forth. 

23 But as they failed, he fell afleep : and there came 
down a ftorm of wind on the lake; and they were 
filled with water, and were in jeopardy. 

24 And they came to him, and awoke him, faying, 
Mafter, Mafter, we perifli ! Then he arofe, and re- 
buked the wind and the raging of the water ': and 
they ceafed, and there was a calm. 

25 And he faid unto them, Where is your faith ? 
And they, being afraid, wondered, faying one to an- 
other, What manner of man is this ! for he com- 
mandeth even the winds and water, and they obey 
him. 

26 U 5 And they arrived at the country of the Gad- 
arenes, which is over againft Galilee. 

27 And when he went forth to land, there met him 
out of the city a certain man which had devils long 
time, and ware no clothes, neither abode many houfe 
but in the tombs. 

28 When he law Jefus, he cried out, and fell down 
before him, and with a loud voice faid, What have I 
to do with thee, Jefus, thou Son of God moft high . ? 
I befeech thee torment me not. 

29 (For he had commanded the unclean fpirit to 
come out of the man. For oftentimes it had caught 
him ; and he was kept bound with chains and in fet- 
ters ; and he brake the bands, and was driven of the 
devil into the wildernefs.) 

30 And Jefus allied him, faying, What isthy name ? 
And he faid. Legion ; becaufe many devils were en- 
tered into him. 

31 And they befought him that he Avould not com- 
mand them to go out into the deep. 

32 And there was there an herd of many fwine 
feeding on the mountain : and they befought him that 
he would fuffer them to enter into them. And he fuf- 
fered them. 

33 Then went the devils out of the man, and enter- 
ed into the fwine : and the herd ran violently down a 
fteep place into the lake, and were choked. 

34 When they that fed them faw what was done, 
they fled, and went and told it in the city, and in the 
country. 

35 Then they went out to fee what was done ; and 
came to Jefus, and found the man, out of whom the 
devils were departed, fitting at the feet of Jefus, 
clothed, and in his right mind : and they were afraid. 

36 They alfo which faw it, told them by what means 
he that was poffeffed of the devils, was healed. 

37 1 Then the whole multitude of the country of 
the Gadarenes, round about, befought him to depart 
from them : for they were taken with great fear. And 
he went up into the fhip, and returned back again. 

38 Now the man, out of whom the devils were de- 
parted, befought him that he might be with him : but 
Jefus fent him away, faying,

things God hath done unto thee. And he went his 
way, and publifhed throughout the whole city how 
great things Jefus had done unto him. 

40 And it came to pafs, that, when Jefus was re- 
turned, the people gladly received him : for they were 
all waiting for him. 

41 II k And, behold, there came a man named Jai- 
rus, and he was a ruler of the fynagc-gue : and he fell 
down at Jefus' feet, and befought him that he would 
come into his houfe : 

42 For he had one only daughter, about twelve 
years of age, and fhe lay a dying. (But, as he went, 
the people thronged him. 

43 1 And a woman having an iffue of blood twelve 
years, which had fpent all her living upon phyficians, 
neither could be healed of any, 

44 Came behind him, and touched the border of his 
garment : and immediately her iffue of blood ftanched. 

45 And Jefus laid, Who touched me ? When all 
denied, Peter, and they that were with him, laid, 
Mailer, the multitude throng thee, and prefs thee, and 
fayeft thou, Who touched me ? 

46 And Jefus faid, Somebody hath touched me : 
for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me. 

47 And when the woman faw that ihe was not hid, 
fhe came trembling ; and, falling down before him, 
flie declared unto him before all the people for what 
caufe flie had touched him, and how fhe was healed 
immediately. 

48 And he faid unto her, Daughter, be of good com- 
fort : thy faith hath made thee whole ; go in peace.) 

49 II While he yet fpake, there cometh one from 
the ruler of the fynagogue's house, faying to him, Thy 
daughter is dead ; trouble not the Mailer. 

50 But when Jefus heard it, he anfwered him, fay- 
ing, Fear not : believe only, and fhe fhall be made 
whole. 

51 And when he came into the houfe, he fuffered 
no man to go in, fave Peter, and James, and John, and 
the father and the mother of the maiden. 

52 And all wept and bewailed her : but he faid, 
Weep not ; flie is not dead, but fleepcth. 

53 And they laughed him to fcorn, knowing that 
flie was dead. 

54 And he put them all out, and took her by the 
hand, and called, faying, Maid, arife. 

55 And her fpirit came again, and flie arofe flraight- 
way : and he commanded to give her meat. 

56 And her parents were allonifhed : but he charged 
them that they fhould tell no man what was done.

12 II d And, when the day began to wear away, then d Matth. 
came the twelve, and faid unto him, Send the multi- 
tude away, that they may go into the towns and coun- 
try round about, and lodge, and get victuals ; for we 
are here in a defert place. 

13 But he faid unto them, Give ye them to eat. 
And they faid, We have no mere but five loaves and 
two fillies ; except we fhould go and buy meat for all 
this people : 

14 (For they were about five thoufand men.) And 
he faid to his difciples, Make them lit down by fifties 
in a company. 

15 And they did fo, and made them all fit down. 

16 Then he took the five loaves and the two fifties \ 
and, looking up to heaven, hebleffed them, and brake, 
and gave to the difciples to fet before the multitude. 

17 And they did eat, and were all filled : and there 
was taken up of fragments that remained to them 
twelve bafkets. 

18 II e And it came to pafs, as he was alone praying, 
his difciples were with him : and he afked them, fay- 
ing, Whom fay the people that I am ? 

19 They, anfuering, laid, John the Baptifl : but 
fome say, Elias ; and others say, that one of the old 
prophets is rifen again. 

20 He faid unto them, But whom fay ye that I am ? 
Peter, unfwering, faid, The ChrifJ of God. 

21 And he flraitly charged them, and commanded 
them to tell no man that thing ; 

22 Saying, f The Son of man mufl fuffcr many 
things, and be rejected of the elders, and chief priefls, 
and fcribes, and be flain, and be railed the third day. 

23 If e And he faid to them all, If any man will come f ^ nh 
after me, let him deny himfelf, and take up his crpfs 
daily, and follow me. 

24 For whofoever will fave his life, fhall lofe it : but 
whofoever will lofe his life for my lake, the fame fhall 
fave it.

25 h For what is a man advantaged, if he gain the 
whole world, and lofe himfelf, or be caft away ? 

26 ' For whofoever fliall be afhamed of me, and of 
my words, of him fliall the Son of man be afhamed, 
when he fhall come in his own glory, and in his Fa- 
ther's, and of the. holy angels. 

27 k But I tell you of a truth, There be fome {land- 
ing here which fliall not tafte of death till they fee the 
kingdom of God. 

28 If ' And it came to pafs, about an eight days after 
thefe || fayings, he took Peter, and John, and James, 
and went up into a mountain to pray. 

29 And as he prayed, the fail) ion of his countenance 
was altered, and his raiment was white and gliftering. 

30 And, behold, there talked with him two men, 
which were Mofes and Elias ; 

3 1 Who appeared in glory, and fpake of his deceafe, 
which he fhould accomplifh at Jerufalem. 

32 But Peter, and they that were with him, were 
heavy with fleep : and when they were awake they 
law his glory, and the two men that flood with him. 

33 And it came to pafs, as they departed from him, 
Peter faid unto Jefus, Mailer, it is good for us to be 
here : and let us make three tabernacles ; one for thee, 
and one for Mofes, and one for Elias ; not knowing 
what he faid. 

34 While he thus fpake, there came a cloud and 
overfhadowed them ; and they feared as they entered 
into the cloud. 

35 And there came a voice out of the cloud, faying, 
This is my beloved Son ; hear him. 

36 And when the voice was paft, Jefus was found 
alone. And they kept it clofe, and told no man in 
thole days any of thofe things which they had feen. 

'37 % m And it came to pafs, that, on the next day, 
when they were come down from the hill, much peo- 
ple met him. 

38 And, behold, a man of the company cried out, 
faying, Mailer, I befeech thee, look upon my fon ; for 
he is mine only child : 

39 And, lo, a fpirit taketh him, and he fuddenly 
crieth out ; and it teareth him that he foameth again ; 
and, bruifing him, hardly departeth from him. 

40 And I befought thy difciples to caft him out ; 
and they could not. 

41 And Jefus, anfwering, faid, O faithlefs and per- 
verfe generation ! how long fhall I be with you, and 
fuller you ? Bring thy fon hither. 

42 And as he was yet a coming, the devil threw 
him down, and tare him : and Jelus rebuked the un- 
clean fpirit, and healed the child, and delivered him 
again to his father. 

43 II And they were all amazed at the mighty power 
of God. But, while they wcndered every pne at all 
things which Jefus did, he faid unto his difciples, 

44 n Let thefe fayings fink down into your ears : for 
the Sonof man fhall bedelivered into the hands of men. 

45 But they underflood not this faying, and it was 
hid from them , that they perceived it not : and the j 
feared to afk him of that "faying. 

46 1° Then there arofe a reafoning among them, 
which of them fhould be greatefl. 

47 And Jefus perceiving the thought of their heart, 
took a child, and fet him by him, 

48 And faid unto them, > Whofoever fhall receive 
this child in my name, receiveth me ; and whofoever 
fliall receive me, receiveth him that lent me : for he

49 If ? And John anfwered and faid, Mailer, wefaw 
one cafling out devils in thy name : and we forbade 
iiins, becaufe he fo'.loweth not with us. 

50 And Jefus faid unto him, Forbid him not : for 
he that is not againft us is for us. 

5 1 If And it came to pafs, when the time was come 
that he fhould be received up, he iledfaitly fet his face 
to goto Jerufalem, 

52 And fent melfengers before his face ; and they 
went and entered into a village of the Samaritans to 
make ready for him. 

53 And they did not receive him, becaufe his face 
was as though he would go to Jerufalem. 

54 And when his difciples, James and John, faw 
this, \hty faid, Lord, wilt thou, that we command fire 
to come down from heaven, and confume them, even 
as q Elias did ? 

55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and faid, Ye 
know not what manner of fpirit ye are of. 

56 For the Son of man is not come to deflroy 
men's lives, but to fave them. And they went to an- 
other village. 

57 If r And it came to pafs, that ? as they went in 
the way, a certain man faid unto him, Lord, I will 
follow thee whitherfoever thou goefl. 

_ 58 And Jefus faid unto him, Foxes have holes, and 
birds of the air have nefls ; but the Son of man hath 
not where to lay his head. 

59 s And he faid unto another, Follow me, But he 
faid, Lord, fufler me firfl to go and bury my father. 

60 Jefus faid unto him, Let the dead bury their 
dead ; but go thou and preach the kingdom of God. 

61 And another alfo faid, Lord, I will follow thee ; 
but let me firfl go bid them farewell which are at home 
at my houfe. 

62 And Jefus faid unto him, No man having put 
his hand to the plough, and looking back, is lit for the 
kingdom of God.

great while ago repented, fitting in fackcloth and afhes.

ing, Lord even the devils are fubjeel unto us through

18 And he faid unto them, I beheld Satan as light- 
ning fall from heaven. 

19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on fer- 
pents and Scorpions, and over all the power of the 
enemy ; and nothing fhall by any means hurt you.

thieves, which ftripped him of his raiment, and 
wounded him, and departed, leaving him half dead. 

31 And, by chance, there came down a certain 
prieft that way ; and when he ikw him, he paffed by 
on the other fide. 

32 And likewife a Levite, when he was at the 
place, came and looked on him, and paffed by on the 
other fide. 

33 But a certain Samaritan, as he journeyed, came 
where he was : and when he faw him, he had compaf- 
lion on him, 

34^ And went to him, and bound up his wounds, 
pouring in oil and wine, and fet him on his own beaft, 
and brought him to an inn, and took care of him. 

35 And on the morrow, when he departed, he took 
out || two pence, and gave them to the holt, and laid 
unto him, Take care of him: and whatfoever thou 
fpendeft more, when I come again, I will repay thee. 

36 Which now of thefe three, thinkeft thou, was 
neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves ? 

37 And he faid, Fie that fhewed mercy on him. 
Then faid Jefus unto him, Go, and do thou likewife. 

38 If Now it came to pafs, as they went, that he 
entered into a certain village : and a certain woman, 
named Martha, received him into her houfe. 

39 And Die had a fifter called Mary, which alfo fat 
at Jefus' feet, and heard his word. 

40 But Martha was cumbered about muchferving, 
and came to him, and faid, Lord, dolt thou not care 
that my fifter hath left me to ferve alone . ? bid her* 
therefore, that fhe help me. 

41 And Jefus anfwered, and faid unto her, Martha, 
Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many 
things ; 

42 But one thing is needful : and Mary hathchofen 
that good part, which fhall not be taken away from 
her.

1 Christ teacheth to pray, assuring that God will give 
all good things to them that ask him : 14 he castetb 
out a devil, and rcbuketh the Pharisees' blasphemy. 
27 Who are truly blessed. 29 Christ sheweth how 
inexcusable they are who disbelieve the gospel : 37 he 
reprehendeththe Pharisees' outwardshew oj holiness, 
andpronounceth woes against them, &c. 

AND it came to pafs, that, as he was praying in a 
certain place, when he ceafed, one of his difci- 
ples faid unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as John 
alfo taught his difciples. 

2 And he faid unto them, When ye pray, fay,

opened unto you. 

10 For every one that afketh, receiveth ; and he 
that feeketh, findeth ; and to him that knocketh, it 
ihall be opened. 

11 c If a fon fhall afk bread of any of you that is a 
father, will he give him a flone ? or, if he ask a fifh, 
will he for a fifh give him a ferpent ? 

12 Or, if he ill all afk an egg, will he offer him a 
fcorpion ? 

13 If ye then being evil, know how to give good gifts 
unto your children ; how much more fhall your hea- 
venly Father give the holy Spirit to them that afk him ? 

14 IT And he was calling out a devil, and it was 
dumb. And it came to pafs, when the devil was gone 
out, the dumb fpake ; and the people wondered. 

15 But fome of them faid, d He cafleth out devils 
24- through Beelzebub the chief of the devils. 

16 And others, tempting him, fought of him a fign 
from heaven. 

17 But he, knowing their thoughts, faid unto them, 
Every kingdom divided againfl itfelf is brought to def- 
olation ; and a houfe divided againft a houfe falleth. 

18 If Satan alfo be divided againfl himfelf, how 
fhall his kingdom Hand ? becaufe ye fay that I call out 
devils through Beelzebub. 

19 And if I by Beelzebub cafl out devils, by whom 
do your fons cafl them out ? therefore fhall they be 
your judges. 

20 But if I with the finger of God caft out devils, 
no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you. 

21 When a ftrong man armed keepeth his palace, 
his goods are in peace : 

22 But when a ilronger than he fhall come upon 
him, and overcome him, he taketh from him all his 
armour wherein he trufled, anddivideth his fpoils. 

23 He that is not with me is againfl me ; and he 
that gathereth not with me fcattereth. 

24 e When the unclean fpirit is gone out of a man, 
he walketh through dry places, feeking reft ; and find- 
ing none, he faith, I will return unto my houfe whence 
I came out. 

25 And when he cometh, he fmdeth it fwept and 
garnifhed. 

26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him feven other 
fpirits more wicked than himfelf ; and they enter in, 
and dwell there : and the laft state of that man is 
worfe than the firft. 

27 II And it came to pafs, as he fpake thefe things, 
a certain woman of the company lifted up her voice, 
and faid unto him, Bleffed is the womb that bare thee, 
and the paps which thou haft fucked. 

28 But he faid, Yea, rather bleffed are they that 
hear the word of God, and keep it.

together, he began to fay, This is an evil generation : 
they feek a fign ; and there fhall no fign be given it, 
but the fign of Jonas the prophet. 

30 For as Jonas was a fign unto the Ninevites, fo 
fhall alfo the Son of man be to this generation.

they repented at the preaching of Jonas ; and, behold,

wickednefs. 

40 Ye fools ! did not he that made that which is 
without, make that which is within alfo ? 

41 But rather give alms || of fuch things as ye have ; 
and, behold, all things are clean unto you. 

42 But woe unto you, Pharifees ! for ye tithe mint,

ment and the love of God : thefe ought ye to have 
done, and not to leave the other undone. 

43 k Woe unto you, Pharifees ! for ye love the up- 
permoft feats in the fynagogues, and greetings in the

44 Woe unto you, fcribes and Pharifees, hypocrites ! 
for ye are as graves which appear not, and the men 
that walk over them are not aware of them.

48 Truly ye bear v\ itnefs that ye allow the deeds of 
your fathers : for they indeed killed them, and ye 
build their fepulchres.

53 And ashefaidthefe things unto them, the fcribes 
, and the Pharifees began to urge him vehemently, and 

to provoke him tofpeak of many things ; 

54 Laying wait for him, and feeking to catch fome- 
thing out of his mouth, that they might accuiehim. 

CHAP. XII. 

1 Christ teacheth his disciples to avoid hypocrisy, and 
not to be fearful in publishing his doctrine: 13 he 
warneth the people to beware ofcovetousness, by the 
parable of a rich man who boasted himself in his mul- 

- tiplied stores : 22 he exhort eth not to be over anxious 
about earthly things, but to seek the kingdom of God; 
33 to lay up treasure in heaven by almsgiving, £s?c. 
35 to be always ready , as servants for their lord'' s 
coming. 41 By the parable of a good and a wicked 
steve <ard 'he pointeth out ministers'' duty in particular; 
49 foretelleth divisions ; 54 reproveth the people for 
not discerning the times ; 57 and sheweth the clanger 
of neglecting the means of reconciliation offered them. 

IN a the mean time, when there were gathered to- 
gether an innumerable multitude of people, info- 
much that they trode one upon another, he began to 
fay unto his difciples firft of all, Beware ye of the 
leaven of the Pharifees, which is hypocrify. 
b Mat. 10 26. 2 b For there is nothing covered, that fhall not be 
revealed ; neither hid, that fhall not be known. 

3 Therefore, whatfoever ye have fpoken in dark- 
nefs, fhall be heard in the light ; and that which ye 
have fpoken in the ear in clofets, fhall be proclaimed 
upon the hcufe tops. 
e Mat. 10 28. 4 c a 1k ] I fay unto you, my friends, B3 not afraid 
of them that kill the body* and alter that have no 
more that they can do. 

5 But I will forewarn you whom ye fhall fear ; 
Fear him, which, after he hath killed, hath power to

ground of a certain rich man brought forth plentifully : 

17 And he thought within himfeif, faying, What 
fhall I do, becaufe 1 have no room where to bellow 
my fruits ? 

18 And he faid, This will I do : I will pull down 
my barns, and build greater : and there will I bellow 
ail my fruits and my goods. 

19 And I will fay to my foul, Soul, thou haft much 
goods laid up for many years ; take thine eafe, eat, 
drink, and be merry. 

20 But God faid unto him, Thou fool ! this night 
[| thy foul fhall be required of thee ; then whofe fhall 
thole things be which thou haft provided ? _ 

21 So is he that layeth up treafure for himfeif, and 
is not rich toward God. 

22 TI And he faid unto his difciples, Therefore I 
fay unto you, f Take no thought for your life, what ye 
fhall eat ; neither for the body, what ye fhall put on. 

23 The life is more than meat, and the body is more 
than raiment. 

24 Confider the ravens : for they neither fow nor 
reap ; which neither have ftorehoufe nor barn ; and 
God feedeth them. How much more are ye better 
than the fowls ? 

25 And which of you, with taking thought, can add 
to his ftature one cubit ? 

26 If ye then be not able to do that thing which is 
leaft, why take ye thought for the reft ? 

27 Confider the lilies how they grow : they toil not, 
they fpin not ; and yet I fay unto you, that Solomon, 
in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of thefe. 

28 If then God fo clothe the grafs, which is today 
in the field, and tomorrow is call into the oven ;. how 
much m jre will he clothe you ? O ye of little faith ! 

29 And feek not ye what ye fhall eat, or what ye 
fhall drink, || neither be ye of doubtful mind. 

30 For all thefe things do the nations of the world wwa 
feek after : and your Father knoweth that ye have ""'"'"" 
need of thefe things. 

31 But rather feek ye the kingdom of God ; and 
all thele things fhall be added unto you. 

32 Fear not, little flock ; for it is your Father's good 
pleafure to give you the kingdom. 

33 H Sell that ye have, and give alms ; g provide g^ rth - 
yourfelves bags which wax not old, a treafure in the 
heavens that faileth not, where no thief approacheth, 
neidier moth corrupteth. 

34 For where your treafure is, there will your heart 
be alfo. 

35 II h Let your loins be girded about, and your 
lights burning ;

thofe fervants.

thou this parable unto us, or even to all ? 

42 And the Lord faid, Who then is that faithful 
and wife fteward, whom his lord fhall make ruler 
Over his houiehold to give them their portion of meat 
in due feafon ? 

43 Bleffed is that fervant whom his lord, when he 
cometh, fhall find lb doing. 

. 44 Of a truth I fay unto you, That he will make 
him ruler over all that he hath. 

45 But and if that fervant fay in his heart, My lord 
delayeth his coming ; and fhall begin to beat the men- 
iervants and maidens, and to eat and drink, and to be 
drunken ; 

46 The lord of that fervant will come in a day when 
he looketh not for him, and at an hour when he is not 
aware, and will || cut him in funder, and will appoint 
him his portion with the unbelievers. 

47 And that fervant which knew his lord's will, and 
prepared not himself, neither did according to his 
will, fhall be beaten with many stripes. 

48 But he that knew not, and did commit things 
worthy of ftripes, fhall be beaten with few stripes. 
For unto whomfcever much is given, of him fhall be 
much required ; and to whom men have committed 
much, of him they will alk the more.

52 For from henceforth there fhall be five in one

53 The father fhall be divided againft the fon, and 
the fon againft the father ; the mother againft the 
daughter, and the daughter againft the mother ; the 
mother in law againft her daughter in law, and the 
daughter inlaw againft her mother in law.

THERE were prefent at that feaibn fome that told 
him of the Galileans, whole blood Pilate had

6 l! He fpake alfo this parable ; A certain man had 
a fig tree planted in his vineyard ; and he came and 
fought fruit thereon, and found none. 

7 Then faid he unto the drefler of his vineyard, 
Behold, thefe three years I come feeking fruit on this 

fig tree, and find none : cut it down ; why cumbereth ** 

it the ground ? 

8 And he, anfwering, faid unto him, Lord, let it 
alone this year alfo, till I fhall dig about it, and dung it; 

9 And if it bear fruit, well ; and if not, then alter 
that thou fhalt cut it down. 

10 If And he was teaching in one of the fynagogues - 
on the fabbath. 

11 And, behold, there was a woman which had a 
fpirit cf infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed to- 
gether, and could in no wife lift up herself. 

12 And when Jefus faw her, he called her to him, 
and faid unto her, Woman, thou art looied from thine 
infirmity. 

13 And he laid his hands on her ; and immediately 
flie was made ftraight, and glorified God. 

14 And the ruler of the fynagogue anfwered with 
indignation, becaufe that Jefus had healed on the 
fabbath day, and faid unto the people, There are fix 
days in which men ought to work : in them, therefore, 
come and be healed, and not on the fabbath day. 

15 The Lord then anfwered him, and faid, Thou 
hypocrite ! doth not each one of you on the fabbath 
loofe his ox or his afs from the ftall, and lead him away 
to watering ; . 

16 And ought not this woman, being a daughter of 
Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, thefe eighteen 
years, be looted from this bond on the iabbath day ?

verfaries were afhamed ; and all the people rejoiced

1 Christ healeth the dropsy on the sabbath : 7 he rec-

places filled by others. 25 Christ sheweth that those 
ivho are willing to be his disciples, must examine

hath lost its savour. 

ND it came topafs, as he went into the houfe of 
one of the chief Pharifees, to eat bread on the 
fabbath day. that they watched him. 

2 And, behold, there was a certain man before him, 
which had the dropfy. _ 

3 And Jefus, anfwering, fpake unto the lawyers and 
Pharifees, faying, Is it lawful to heal on the fabbath day ? 

4 And they held their peace. And he took him, 
and healed him, and let him go ; 

5 And anfwered them, faying, Which of you fhall 
have an afs or an ox fallen into a pit, and will not 
ftraightway pull him out on the fabbath day ? 

6 And they could not anfwer him again to thefe things. 

_ 7 1 And he put forth a parable to thofe which were 
bidden, when he marked how they chofe out the chief 
rooms ; faying unto them, 

8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wedding, 
fit not down in the higheft room, left a more honour- 
able man than thou be bidden of him ; 



CHAP. XIV. 



Christ teacheth humility.

9 And he that bade thee and him, come and fay to 
thee, Give this man place ; and thou begin with i hame 
to take the loweft room. 

10 a But when thou art bidden,, go and fit down in 
the loweft room ; that, when he that bade thee cometh, 
he may fay unto thee, Friend, go up higher ; then 
ihait thou have worfhip in the prefence of them that 
fit at meat with thee. 

1 1 b For whofoever cxalteth himfelf fhall be abafed ; 
and he that humbleth himfelf fhaij be exalted. 

12 1 Then faid he alio to him that bade him, When 
thou makeft a dinner or a fupper, call not thy friends, 
nor thy brethren, neither thy kinfmen, nor thy rich 
neighbours ; left they alio bid thee again, and a recom- 
penfe be made thee. 

13 But when thou makeft a feaft, c call the poor, the 
maimed, the lame, the blind : 

14 And thou fhalt be bleffed ; for they cannot rec- 
ompenfe thee : for thou ihalt be recompenfed at the 
refurrettion of the j nil. 

15 1 And when one of them that fat at meat with 
him, heard thefe things, he faid unto him, d Bieffed is 
he that fhall eat bread in the kingdom of God. 

16 e Then faid he unto him, A certain man made a 
great fupper, and bade many : 

17 And fent his fervant at fupper time, to fay to 
them that were bidden, Come, for all things are now 
ready. 

18 And they all with one consent began to make ex- 
cufe. The firft faid unto him, I have bought a piece 
of ground, and I muft needs go and fee it : I pray thee 
have me excufed. 

19 And another faid, I have bought five yoke of oxen, 
and I go to prove them : I pray thee have me excufed. 

20 And another faid, I have married a wife, and 
therefore I cannot come.. 

21 So that fervant came, and fhewed his lord thefe 
things. Then the mafter of the houfe, being angry, 
faid to his fervant, Go out quickly into the ftreets and 
lanes of the city, and bring in hither the poor, and the 
maimed, and the halt, and the blind.. 

22 And the fervant faid, Lord, it is done as thou 
haft commanded, and yet there is room. 

23 And the lord faid unto the fervant, Go out into 
the highways and hedges, and compel them to come 
in, that my houfe may be filled. 

24 For I fay unto you, That none of thofe men 
which were bidden, fhall tafte of my fupper. 

25 1 And there went great multitudes with him : 
and he turned, and faid unto them, 

26 f If any man come to me, and hate not his father, 
and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, 
and lifters, yea, and his own life alfo, he cannot be my 
difciple. 

27 And whofoever doth not bear his crofs, and 
come after me, cannot be my difciple. 

28 For which of you, intending to build a tower, 
fitteth not down firft, and counteth the coft, whether 
he have sufficient to finifh it? 

29 Left haply, after he hath laid the foundation, 
and is not able to finifh it, all that behold it begin to 
mock him,

1 The Pharisees murmur at Christ. 3 The parable of 
the lost sheep, 8 of the piece of silver ; Wand of the 
prodigal son. 

THEN drew near unto him all the publicans and 
finners for to hear him. 

2 And the Pharifees and fcribes murmured, faying, 
This man receiveth finners, and eateth with them. 

3 IF And he fpake this parable unto them, faying, 

4 a What man of you, having an hundred fheep, if 
he lofe one of them, doth not leave the ninety and 
nine in the wildernefs, and go after that which is loft, 
until he find it ? 

5 And when he hath found it, he layeth it on his 
fhoulders, rejoicing. 

6 And when he cometh home, he calleth together 
his friends and neighbours, faying unto them, Rejoice 
with me ; for I have found my fheep which was loft. 

7 I fay unto you, That like wife joy (hall be in heaven 
over one finner that repenteth, more than over ninety 
and nine juft perfons, which need no repentance. 

8 IF Either what woman, having ten * pieces of fil- 
ver, if (lie lofe one piece, doth not light a candle, and 
fweep the houfe, and feek diligently till (lie find it ? 

9 And when me hath found it, Ihe calleth her friends 
and her neighbours together, faying, Rejoice with me ; 
for I have found the piece which I had loft. 

10 Likewife, I fay unto you, There is joy in the 
prefence of the angels of God, over one fmner that 
repenteth. 

11 IF And he faid, A certain man had two fons : 

12 And the younger of them faid to his father, 
Father, give me the portion of goods that falleth to 
me. And he divided unto them his living. 

13 And not many days after, the younger fon gath- 
ered all together, and took his journey into a far coun- 
try, and there wafted his fubftance with riotous living. 

14 And when he had fpent all, there arofe a mighty 
famine in that land ; and he began to be in want. 

15 And he went and joined himfelf to a citizen of 
that country ; and he fent him into his fields to feed 
fwine. 

16 And he would fain have filled his belly with the 
hulks that the fwine did eat : and no man gave unto 
him. 

17 And when he came to himfelf, he faid, How 
many hired fervants of my father's have bread enough, 
and to fpare, and I perifh with hunger ! 

18 I will arife, and go to my father, and will fay un- 
to him, Father, 1 have finned againft heaven, and be- 
fore thee, 

1 9 And am no more worthy to be called thy fon : 
make me as one of thy hired fervants. 

20 And he arofe, and came to his father. But, 
when he was yet a great way off, his father faw him, 



K E. 



The unjust steward; 
and fell on his neck, 



and had companion, and ran 
and kilfed him. 

21 And the fon faid unto him, Father, I have fin- 
ned againft heaven, and in thy light, and am no more 
worthy to be called thy fon. 

22 But the father faid to his fervants, Bring forth 
the beft robe, and put it on him ; and put a ring on 
his hand, and fhoes on his feet : 

23 And bring hither the fatted calf, and kill it ; and 
let us eat and be merry : 

24 For this my fon was dead, and is alive again ; he 
was loft, and is found. And they began to be merry. 

25 Now, his elder fon was in the field : and as he 
came, and drew nigh to the houfe, he heard mufick 
and dancing. 

26 And he called one of the fervants, and alked 
what thefe things meant. 

27 And he faid unto him) Thy brother is come ; 
and thy father hath killed the fatted calf, becaufe he 
hath received him fafe and found. 

28 And he was angry, and would not go in : there- 
fore came his father out and entreated him. 

29 And he, anfwering, faid to his father, Lo, thefe 
many years do I ferve thee, neither tranfgrtffed I at 
any time thy commandment ; and yet thou never 
gaveft me a kid, that I might make merry with my 
friends ; 

30 But as foon as this thy fon was come, which hath 
devoured thy living with harlots, thou haft killed for 
him the fatted calf. 

31 And he faid unto him, Son, thou art ever with 
me, and all that I have is thine. 

32 It was meet that we mould make merry, and be 
glad : for this thy brother was dead, and is alive again ; 
and was loft, and is found. 

CHAP. XVI. 

1 The parable of the unjust steward. 14 Christ re- 
proveth the hypocrisy of the Pharisees, who were 
covetous. 19 The parable of the rich man, and 
L azarus the beggar. 

NDhe faid alfo unto his difciples, There was a cer- 
tain rich man which had a fteward : andthe fame 
was accufed unto him that he had wafted his goods. 

2 And he called him, and faid unto him, How is it 
that I hear this of thee ? give an account of thy ftew- 
ardfhip ; for thou mayeft be no longer fteward. 

3 Then the fteward faid within himfelf, What 
fhall I do, for my lord taketh away from me the 
ftewardfhip ? I cannot dig ; to beg I am afhamed. 

4 I am refolved what to do, that when I am put 
out of the ftewavdlhip, they may receive me into 
their houfes. 

5 So he called every one of his lord's debtors unl9 
him, and faid unto the firft, How much oweft thou 
unto my lord ? 

6 And he faid, An hundred * meafures of oil. And 
he faid unto him, Take thy bill, and lit down quickly, 
and write fifty. 

7 Then faid he to another, And how much feweft 
thou ? and he faid, An hundred * meafures of wheat. 
And he faid unto him, Take thy bill and write four 
fcore. 

8 And the lord commended the unjuft fteward, be- 
caufe he had done wifely : for the children of this world 
are in their generation wifer than the children of light.

9 And I fay unto you, Make to yourfelves friends 
of the || mammon of unrighteoufnefs ; thatj when ye fail, 
they may receive you into everlafling habitations. 

10 He that is faithful in that which is leafl, is faith- 
ful alfo in much ; and he that is unjufl in the lealt is 
unjufl alfo in much. 

11 If, therefore, ye have not been faidiful in the 
unrighteous || mammon, who will commit to your 
trull the true riches ? 

12 And if ye have not been faithful in that which is 
another man's, who ihall give you that which is your 
own I 

13 a No fervant can ferve two mailers : for either 
he will hate the one, and love the other ; or elfe he 
will hold to the one, and defpife the other. Ye cannot 
ferve God and mammon. 

14 If And the Pharilees alfo, who were covetous, 
heard all thefe things : and they derided him. 

15 And he laid unto them, Ye are they which jufti- 
fy yourfelves btfore men ; but God knoweth your 
hearts : lor that which is highly efteemed among men 
is abomination in the fight of God. 

16 b The law and the prophets "were until John : 
fince that time the kingdom of God is preached, and 
every man preffeth into it. 

17 c And it is eafier for heaven and earth to pafs, 
than one tittle of the law to fail. 

18 d Whofoever putteth away his wife, and marri- 
edi another, committeth adultery ; and whofoever 
marrieth her that is put away from her hulband, com- 
mitteth adultery. 

19 If There was a certain rich man, which was 
clothed in purple and fine linen, and fared fumptu- 
oully every day : 

20 And there was a certain beggar named Lazarus, 
which was laid at his gate, full of fores, 

21 And deiiring to be fed with the crumbs which 
fell from the rich man's table : moreover, the dogs 
came and licked his fores. 

22 And it came to pafs that the beggar died, and 
was carried by the angels into Abraham's bofom : the 
rich man alfo died, and was buried ; 

23 And in hell he lifted up his eyes, being in tor- 
ments, and feeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his 
bofom. 

24 And he cried, and faid, Father Abraham, have 
mercy on me ; and fend Lazarus, that he may dip the 
tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue ; for 1 
am tormented in this flame. 

25 But Abraham faid, Son, remember, that thou in 
thy lifetime receivedll thy good things, and likewife 
Lazarus evil things : but now he is comforted, and 
thou art tormented. 

26 And befide all this, between us and you there 
is a great gulf fixed : fo that they which would pafs 
from hence to you cannot ; neither can they pafs to us 
.that would come from thence. 

27 Then he faid, I pray thee, therefore, father, that 
thou wouldeft fend him to my father's houfe : 

28 For I have five brethren ; that he may teftify unto 
them, left they alfo come into this place of torment. 

29 Abraham faith unto him, They have Mofes and 
the prophets ; let them hear them. 

30 And he faid, Nay, father Abraham : but if one 
went unto them from the dead, they will repent. 

31 And he faid unto him, if they hear not Mofes

and the prophets, neither will they be perfuaded 
though one role from the dead. 

CHAP. XVII. 

1 Christ teacheth to avoid giving occasions of offence, 
3 and to for give one another. 5 The power of faith) 
and defect of merit toward God in our best services. 
11 Christ healeth ten lepers ; 20 sheweth the spirit- 
ual nature of the kingdom of God, 22 and the coming 
of the Son of man. 

THEN faid he unto his difciples, a It is impoflible 
but that offences will come : but woe unto him 
through whom they come ! 

2 It were better for him that a millflone were hang- 
ed about his neck, and he call into the fea, than that 
he fhould offend one of thefe little ones. 

3 Tf Take heed to yourfelves : b If thy brother tref- 
pafs againfl thee, rebuke him ; and if he repent, for- 
give him. 

4 And if he trefpafs againfl thee feven times in a 
day, and feven times in a day turn again to thee, fay- 
ing, I repent ; thou fhalt forgive him. 

5 H And the apoflies faid unto the Lord, Increafe 
our faith. 

6 c And the Lord faid, If ye had faith as a grain of 
muflard feed, ye might fay unto this fycamine tree, 
Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted 
in the fea ; and it fhould obey you. 

7 But which of you, having a fervant ploughing, or 
feeding cattle, will fay unto him by and by, when he 
is come from the field, Go and fit down to meat : 

8 And will not rather fay unto him, Make ready 
wherewith I may fup, and gird thyfelf, and ferve me, 
till I have eaten and drunken ; and afterward thou 
fhalt eat and drink ? 

9 Doth he thank that fervant becaufe he did the 
things that were commanded him ? I trow not. 

10 So likewife ye, when ye fhall have done all thofe 
things which are commanded you, fay, We are un- 
profitable fervants : we have done that which was our 
duty to do. 

11 HAnd it came to pafs, as he went to Jerufa- 
lem, that he palled through the midfl of Samaria and 
Galilee. 

12 And as he entered into a certain village, there 
met him ten men that were lepers, which flood afar off: 

13 And they lifted up their voices, and faid, Jefus, 
Mafler, have mercy on us. 

14 And, when he faw them, he faid unto them, 
d Go fhew yourfelves unto the priefts. And it came 
to pafs, that, as they went, they were cleanfed. 

15 And one of them, when he faw that he was 
healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified 
God, 

16 And fell down on his face at his feet, giving him 
thanks : and he was a Samaritan. 

17 And Jefus anfwering, faid, Were there not ten 
cleanfed ? but where are the nine ? 

1 8 There are not found that returned to give glory 
to God, fave this flranger. 

19 And he faid unto him, Arife, go thy way ; thy 
faith hath made thee whole. 

20 11 And when he was demanded of the Pharilees 
when the kingdom of God fhould come, he anfwered 
them and faid, The kingdom of God comcth not || with 
obfervation.

21 Neither fhall they fay, Lo here ; or, lo there ! 
for, behold, the kingdom of God is || within you. 

22 If And he faid unto the difciples, The days will 
come, when ye {hall delire to fee one of the days of 
the Son of man, and ye fliall not fee it. 

23 e And they ihall fay to you, See here ; or, fee 
there ! go not after them, nor follow them. 

24 For as the lightning that lighteneth out of the 
one part under heaven, lhineth unto the other part un- 
der heaven ; fo fhall alio the Son of man be in his day. 

25 But firft rauft he fuffer many things, and be re- 
jected of this generation. 

26 f And as it was in the days of Noe, fo fhall it 
be alfo in the days of the Son of man : 

27 They did eat, they drank, they married wives, 
they were given in marriage, until the day that Noe 
entered into the ark ; and the flood came, and deftroy- 
ed them all. 

_ 28 s Likewife alfo, as it was in the days of Lot, they 
did eat, they drank, they bought, they fold, they 
planted, they builded : 

29 But the fame day that Lot went out of Sodom, 
it rained fire and brimftone from heaven, and deflroy- 
ed them all. 

30 _ Even thus fhall it be in the day when the Son of 
man is revealed. 

3 1 In that day, he which fhall be upon the houfe - 
top, and his fluff in the houfe, let him not come down 
to take it away : and he that is in the field, let him 
likewife not return back. 

52 h Remember Lot's wife. 

33 ' l Whofoever fhall feek to fave his life fhall lofe 
; and whofoever fliall lofe his life fhall preferve it. 

34 k I tell you, in that night tiiere fliall be two men 
one bed ; the one lhall be taken, and the other 

fliall be left. 

35 Two women fhall be grinding together ; the one 
fhall be taken, and the other left. 

36 * Two men fliall be in the field ; the one fhall 
th!Gr«k stof k e ta ken, and the other left. 

37 And they anfwered, and faid unto him, l Where, 
Lord ? And he faid unto them, Wherefoever the 
body is, thither will the eagles be gathered together.

I The parable of the unjust judge and the importunate 
ividow. 9 Of the Pharisee and publican. 15 Christ's 
tenderness to little children : 18 he teacheth a ruler 
how to attain eternal life : 28 rewards promised to 
them who leave all for his sake: 31 he foresheweth 
his death and resurrection. 

AND he fpake a parable unto them to this end, that 
men ought a always to pray, and not to faint ; 

2 Saying, There was in a city a judge, which fear- 
ed not God, neither regarded man : 

3 And there was a widow in that city ; and fhe 
came unto him, faying, Avenge me of mine adverfary. 

4 And he would not for a while : but afterward he 
faid within himfelf, Though I fear not God, nor re- 
gard man ; 

5 Yet, becaufe this widow troubleth me, I will 
avenge her, left by her continual coming fhe weary me. 

6 And theLord faid, Hear what the unjuft judge faith. 

7 And fhallnot Godavenge hisown elect, which cry 
day andnight unto him, though he bear long with them ? 

8 I tell you, that he will avenge them fpeedily.

Neverthelefs, when the Son of man cometh, fhall he 
find faith on the earth ? 

9 H And he fpake this parable unto certain which 
trufted in themfelves || that they were righteous, and 
defpifed others : 

10 Two men went up into the temple to pray ; the 
one a Pharifee, and the other a publican. 

11 The Pharifee flood and prayed thus with himfelf, 
God, I thank thee, that I am not as othermenard', ex- 
tortioners, unjuft, adulterers, or even as this publican. 

12 I fall twice in the week, I give tithes of all that 
I poifefs. 

13 And the publican, Handing afar off, would not lift 
up fo much as his eyes unto heaven, but fmote upon 
his breaft, faying, God be merciful to me a finner. 

14 I tell you this man went down to his houfe 
juftified rather than the other : b for every one that 
exalteth himfelf fhall be abafed ; and he that hum- 
bleth himfelf fliall be exalted. 

15 IF And they brought unto him alfo infants, that 
he would touch them : but when his difciples faw it, 
they rebuked them. 

16 But Jei'us called them unto him, and faid, Suffer 
little children to come unto me, and forbid them not : 
for offuch is the kingdom of God. 

17 Verily I lay unto you, Whofoever fhall not re- 
ceive the kingdom of God as a little child, fhall in 
no wife enter therein. 

18 If c And a certain ruler afked him, faying, Good 
Mailer, what fhall I do to inherit eternal life ? 

19 And Jefus faid unto him, Why calleft thou me 
good ? none is good fave one, that is God. 

20 Thou knoweft the commandments, Do not com- 
mit adultery, Do not kill, Do not Ileal, Do not bear 
falfe witnefs, Honour thy father and thy mother. 

21 And he faid, All thefe have I kept from my 
youth up. 

22 Now, when Jefus heard thefe things, he faid 
unto him, Yet lack eft thou one thing : fell all that 
thou haft, and diftribute unto the poor, and thou (halt 
have treafure in heaven ; and come, follow me. 

23 And when he heard this, he was very forrow- 
ful : for he was ve^ rich. 

24 And when Jefus faw that he was very forrow- 
ful, he faid, How hardly fhall they that have riches 
enter into the kingdom of God ; 

25 For it is eafier for a camel to go through a 
needle's eye than for a rich man to enter into the 
kingdom of God. 

26 And they that heard it, faid, Who then can be 
faved? 

27 And he faid, The tilings which are impoffiblc 
with men are pofiible with God. 

28 If d Then Peter faid, Lo, we have left all, and 
followed thee. 

29 Andhe laid untothem, Verily Ifayunto you, There 
is no man that hath left houfe, or parents, or brethren, 
or wife, or children, for the kingdom of God's fake, 

30 Who fliall not receive manifold more in this pref- 
ent time, and in the world to come life everlafting. 

31 If e Then he took unto him the twelve, and faid 
untothem, Behold, we go up to Jerufalem, and all 
things that are written by the prophets concerning 
the Son of man fhall be accomplifhed. 

32 For he fhall be delivered unto the Gentiles, and 
fhall be mocked, andfpitefuilyentreatedj andfpitted on ;

34 And they underftood none of thefe things ; and 
this faying was hid from them, neither knew they the 
things which were fpoken, 

35 If f And it came to pafs, that, as he was come

he fhouid hold his peace : but he cried fo much the 
more, Thou fon of David, have mercy on me. 

40 And Jefus Hood, and commanded him to be 
brought unto him ; and, when he was come near, he 
afked him, 

41 Saying, What wilt thou that I fhall do unto 
thee ? And he faid, Lord, that I may receive my light. 

42 And Jefus faid unto him, Receive thy fight : thy 
faith hath faved thee. 

43 And immediately he received his fight, and fol- 
lowed him, glorifying God : and all the people, when 
they faw it, gave praife unto God,

1 Christ visit eth Zaccheus the publican. 11 The para- 
He of a nobleman who left money with his servants 
to trade with, 28 Christ ridetbfnto Jerusalem: 41 
he wecpeth over it : 45 he driveth the buyers and 
sellers out of the temple ; 47 be teacheth daily there- 
in ; the rulers seek to destroy him. 

AN D Jesus entered and paffed through Jericho. 
2 And, behold, there was a man named Zac- 
cheus, which was the chief among the publicans, and 
he was rich. 

3 And he fought to fee Jefus who he was, and could 
not for the prefs, becaufe he was little of ftature. 

4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a fyca- 
more tree to fee him ; for he was to pafs that way. 

5 And,, when Jefus came to the place, he looked up 
and faw him, and faid unto him, Zaccheus, make hafte, 
and come down ; for today I mull abide at thy houfe. 

6 And he made halte, and came down, and receiv- 
ed him joyfully. 

7 And when they faiv it, they all murmured, faying, 
That he wasgone to be gueft with a man that isa firmer. 

8 And Zaccheus Hood, and faid unto the Lord, Be- 
hold ; Lord, the half of my goods I give to the poor : 
and if I have taken any thing from any man by falle 
accufation, J reflore him fourfold. 

9 And Jefus laid unto him, This day is falvation 
come to this houfe, forfomuch as he alfo is a fon of 
Abraham. 

10 *For the Son of man is come to feek and to fave 
that which was loll. 

11 If And as they heard thefe things he added, and 
fpake a parable, becaufe he was nigh to Jerufalem, 
and becaufe they thought that the kingdom of God 
fhouid immediately appear, 

12 b He faid, therefore, A certain nobleman went 
into a for country to receive lor himlelf a kingdom, 
and to return.

Christ rideth into Jerusalem, 



13 And he called his ten fervants, and delivered them 
ten * pounds, and faid unto them, Occupy till I come. 

14 But his citizens hated him, and lent a meliage 
after him, faying, We will not have this man to reign 
over us. 

15 And it came to pafs, that, when he was returned, 
having received the kingdom, then he commanded 
thefe fervants to be called unto him, to whom he had 
given the money, that he might know how much ev- 
ery man had gained by trading. 

16 Then came the firft, faying, Lord, thy pound 
hath gained ten pounds. 

17 And he faid unto him, Well, thou good fervant : 
becaufe thou haft been faithful in a very little, have 
thou authority over ten cities. 

18 And the fecond came, faying, Lord, thy pound, 
hath gained five pounds. 

19 And he faid likewife to him, Be thou alfo over 
five cities. 

20 And another came, faying, Lord, behold, here 
is thy pound, which I have kept laid up in a napkin ; 

21 For I feared thee, becaufe thou art an aufiere 
man; thou takeft up that thou laidefl not down, and 
reapefl that thou diclft not fow. 

22 And he faith unto him, Out of .thine own mouth 
will I judge thee, thou wicked fervant. Thou kneweft 
that I was an auftere man, taking up that I laid not 
down, and reaping that I did not fow : 

23 Wherefore then gavell not thou my money into 
the bank, that at my coming I might have required 
mine own with ufury ? 

24 And he faid unto them that flood by, Take 
from him the pound, and give it to him that hath ten 
pounds : 

25 (And they faid unto him, Lord, he hath ten 
pounds :) 

26 For I fay unto you, c That unto everv: one which 
hath, fhall be given ; anel from him that hath not, even 
that he hath lhall be taken away from him. 

27 But thofe mine enemies, which would not that 
I fhouid reign over them, bring hither, and flay them 
before me. 

28 If And when he had thus fpoken he went before, 
afcending up to Jerufalem. 

29 d And it came to pafs, when he was come nigh 
to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the 
mount of Olives, he fent two of his difciples, 

30 Saying, Go ye into the village over againfl you ; 
in the which, at your entering, ye fhall find a colt 
tied, whereon yet never man fat : loofe him, and 
bring him hither. 

31 And if any man afk you why do ye loofe him ? 
thus fhall ye fay unto him, Becaufe the Lord hath 
need of him. 

32 And they that were fent went their way, and 
found even as he had faid unto them. . 

33 And, as they were looting the colt, the owners 
thereof faid unto them, Why loofe ye the colt ? 

34 And they faid, The Lord hath need of him. 

35 And diey brought him to Jefus : and they call 
their garments upon the colt, and they fet Jefus thereon. 

36 And, as he went, they fpread their clothes in 
the way. 

37 And when he was come nigh, even now at the de- 
scent of the mount of Olives, the whole multitude of

39 And fome of the Pharifees from among the 
multitude faid unto him, Mailer, rebuke thy difciples. 

40 And he anfwered, and faid unto them, I tell you, 
that if thefe fhould hold their peace, the ftones would 
immediately cry out. 

_ 41 H And when he was come near, he beheld the 
city, and wept over it, 

42_ Saying, If thou hadft known, even thou, at 
leaft in this thy day, the things which belong unto thy 
peace ! but now they are hid from thine eyes. 

43 For the days ihall come upon thee, that thine 
enemies fhall caft a trench about thee, and compafs 
thee round, and keep thee in on every fide, 

44 And fhall lay thee even with the ground, and 
thy children within thee ; and they fhall not leave in 
thee one ft one upon another : becaufe thou kneweft 
not the time of thy vifitation.

caft out them that fold therein, and them that bought, 

46 Saying unto them, It is written, My houfe is the 
houfe of prayer ; but ye have made it a den of thieves. 

47 II And he taught daily in the temple. But the 
chief priefts, and the fcribes, and the chief of the peo-

cerning his character : 45 he warmth his disciples 
against we ambition and hypocrisy of the scribes. 

ND a it came to pafs, that on one of thofe days, 
as he taught the people in the temple, and 
preached the gofpel, the chief priefts and the fcribes 
came upon him> with the elders, 

2 And fpake unto him, faying, Tell us by what 
authority doeft thou thefe things ? or who is he that 
gave thee this authority ? 

3 And he anfwered and faid unto them, I will alfo 
afk you one thing ; and anfwer me : 

4 The baptifm of John, was it from heaven, or of men ? 

5 And they reafoned with themfelves, faying, If we 
fhall fay, From heaven; he will fay, Why then believed 
ye him not ? 

6 But and if we fay, Of men ; all the people will ftone 
us : for they be penuaded that John was a prophet. 

7 And they anfwered, That they could not tell 
whence it was. 

8 And Jefus faid unto them, Neither tell I j^ou by 
what authority I do thefe things. 

9 1 Then began he to fpeak to the people this para- 
ble ; b A certain man planted a vineyard, and let it 
forth to^ hufbandmen, and went into a far country for 
a long time.

beat him alfo, and entreated him iliamefully, and fent

12 And again he fent a third : and they wounded 
him alfo, and caft him out. 

13 Then faid the lord of the vineyard, What fhall 
I do ? I will fend my beloved fon : it may be they will 
reverence him when they fee him. 

14 But when the hufbandmen faw him, they reafon- 
ed among themfelves, laying, This is the heir : come, 
let us kill him, that the inheritance may be ours. 

15 So they caft him out of the vineyard, and killed 
him. What, therefore, fhall the lord of the vineyard 
do unto them ? 

16 He fhall come and deftroy thefe hufbandmen, 
and fhall give the vineyard to others. And, when they 
heard it, they faid, God forbid. 

17 And he beheld them, and faid, What is this 
then that is written, c The ftone which the builders 
rejected, the fame is become the head of the corner ? 

18 Whofoever fhall fall upon that ftone fhall be 
broken ; but on whomlbever it fhall fall, it will grind

fhould feign themfelves juft men, that they might take 
hold of his words, that fo they might deliver him unto

22 Is it lawful for us to give tribute unto Cefar, or no ?

25 And he faid unto them, Render, therefore, unto 
Cefar the things which be Cefar's, and unto God the 
things which be God's. 

26 And they could not take hold of his words be- 
fore the people ; and they marvelled at his anfwer, 
and held their peace. 

27 IT e Then came to him certain of the Sadducees, 
which deny that there is any refurre£tion, and they 
afked him, 

28 Saying, Mafter, Mofes wrote unto us, If any 
man's brother die, having a wife, and he die without 
children, that his brother lhould take his wife, and 
raife up feed unto his brother. 

29 There were, therefore, feven brethren : and the 
firft took a wife, and died without children. 

30 And the fecond took her to wife, and he died 
childlefs. 

3 1 And the third took her ; and in like manner the 
feven alfo : and they left no children, and died. 

32 Laft of all the woman died alfo. 

33 Therefore, in the refurrection, whofe wife of 
them is fhe ? for feven had her to wife. 

34 And Jefus, anfwering, faid unto them, The chil- 
dren of this world marry, and are given in marriage : 

35 But they which fhall be accounted worthy to 
obtain that world, and the refurre£tion from the dead, 
neither marry, nor are given in marriage.

36 Neither can they die any more: for they are 
equal unto the angels - y and are the children of God, 
being the children of the refurrection. 

37 Now that the dead are raifed, f even Mofes fhew- 
ed at the bufh, when he calleth the Lord the God of 
Abraham, and the God of Ifaac, and the God of Jacob. 

38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the 
living : for all live unto him. 

39 1 Then certain of the fcribes, anfwering, faid, 
Mailer, thou hall well faid, 

40 And after that they durft not afk him any 
question at all. 

41 H And he faid unto them, * How fay they that 
Chrift is David's fon ? 

42 And David himfelf faith in the book of Pfalnis, 
h The Lord faid unto my Lord, Sit thou on my right 
hand, 

43 Till I make thine enemies thy footftool. 

44 David, therefore, calleth him Lord, how is he 
then his fon ? 

45 H Then, in the audience of all the people, he 
faid unto his difciples, 

46 * Beware of the fcribes, which defire to walk in 
long robes, and love greetings in the markets, and 
the higheft feats in the fynagogues, and the chief 
rooms at feafts ; 

47 Which devour widows' houfes, and for a fhew 
make long prayers : the fame fhall receive greater 
damnation. 

CHAP. XXI. 
1 Christ commendeth the poor widow : 5 heforetelleth 
the destruction of the temple, 7 and the signs and 
calamities thereon ; 25 the signs also which should 
happen before the coming of the Son of man : 34 he 
exhorteth to watchfulness and prayer. 

AND he looked up, a and faw the rich men calling 
their gifts into the treafury. 

2 And he faw alfo a certain poor widow calling in 
thither two |] mites. 

3 And he faid, Of a truth I fay unto you, That this 
poor widow hath call in more than they all. 

4 For all thefe have of their abundance call in un- 
to the offerings of God : but fhe of her penury hath 
call in all the living that Ihe had. 

5 ff b And as fome fpake of the temple, how it was 
adorned with goodly Hones and gifts, he faid, 

6 As for thefe things which ye behold, the days will 
come, in the which there fhall not be left one Hone 
upon another, that fhall not be thrown down. 

7 If And they afked him, faying, Mailer, but when 
fhall thefe things be ? and what fign will there be when 
thefe things lhall come to pafs ? 

8 And he faid, Take heed that ye be not deceived : 
for many fhall come in my name, faying, I am Christ ; 
and the time draweth near : go ye not, therefore, 
after them. 

9 But when ye fhall hear of wars and commotions, 
be not terrified : for thefe things mull firll come to 
pafs ; but the end is not by and by. 

10 c Then faid he unto them, Nation fhall rife againlt 
nation, and kingdom againlt kingdom : 

1 1 And great earthquakes fliall be in divers places, 
and famines, and pellilences ; and fearful lights and 
great figns lhall there be from heaven. 

12 But before all thefe they lhall lay their hands 
on you, and perfecute you, delivering you up to the

kings and rulers for my name's fake. 

13 And it fliall turn to you for a tellimony. 

14 d Settle it, therefore, in your hearts, not tomed- a Matth. 
itate before what ye fhall anfwer : I0 " 9 " 

15 For Iwillgive you a mouth and wifdom, which all 
your adverfaries fhall not be able to gainfay nor refill. 

16 And ye fhall be betrayed both by parents, and 
brethren, and kinsfolks, and friends ; and some of you. 
fhall tiiey caufe to be put to death. 

17 And ye fliall be hated of all men for my name's 
fake. 

18 e But there fliall not an hair of your head perifh. {*%£&: 

19 In your patience poffefs ye your fouls. 

20 f And when ye fhall fee Jerufalem compaffed with f m*"*- 
armies, then know that the defolation thereof is nigh. 24 ' 5 ' 

21 Then let them which are in Judea flee to the 
mountains ; and let them which are in the midfc of 
it depart out : and let not them that are in the coun- 
tries enter thereinto. 

22 For thefe be the days of vengeance, that all 
things which are written may be fulfilled. 

23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to 
them that give fuck, in thofe days ! for there lhall be 
great diftrefs in the land, and wrath upon this people. 

24 And they fliall fall by the edge of the fword, 
and fhall be led away captive into all nations : and 
Jerufalem lhall be trodden doAvn of the Gentiles, until 
the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled. 

25 If g And there fliall be figns in the fun, and in the s Matth. 
moon, and in the liars ; and upon the earth diftrefs of 
nations, with perplexity ; the fea and the waves 
roaring ; 

26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for look- 
ing after thofe things which are coming on the earth : 
for the powers of heaven fhall be fhaken. 

27 And then fliall they fee the Son of man coming 
in a cloud, with power and great glory. 

28 And when thefe things begin to come to pafs, 
then look up, and lift up your heads ; for your re- 
demption draweth nigh. 

29 And he fpake to them a parable ; Behold the 
fig tree, and all the trees ; 

30 When they now flioot forth, ye fee and know 
of your ovyn felves that fummer is now nigh at hand. 

31 So likewife ye, when ye fee thefe things come to 
pafs, knowye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand. 

32 Verily I fay unto you, This generation lhall 
not pais away till all be fulfilled. 

33 Heaven and earth fliall pafs away ; but my words 
fliall not pafs away. 

34 fl And take heed to yourfelves, left at any time 
your hearts be overcharged with furfeiting, and drunk- 
ennefs, and cares of this life, and so that day come up- 
on you unawares. 

35 For as a fnare fliall it come on all them that 
dwell on the face of the whole earth. 

36 Watch ye, therefore, and pray always, that ye 
may be accounted worthy to efcape all thefe things 
that fliall come to pafs, and to Hand before the Son 
of man. 

37 And in the day time he was teaching in the 
temple, and at night he went out, and abode in the 
mount that is called the mount of Olives. 

38 And all the people came early in the morning 
to him in the temple, for to hear him.

1 The chief priests and scribes conspire against Christ ; 
3 Judas covenantcth to betray hinu 7 The apostles 
sent to prepare thepassover. 19 Christ ivstituteth his 
holy supper ; 21 he covertly pointcth wit the traitor ; 
24 checketh the ambitions strife of his disciples; 31 
telle th Peter of Satan's desire to sift him, and that he 
should deny him thrice ; 39 his agony and prayer 
in the garden .-47 he is betrayed : 50 he healeth 
Mnlchus" 1 ear : 54 he is led to the high priest's house, 
63 scornfully used ; 66 and, confessing himself the 
Son of God, is pronounced guilty of blasphemy, 

NOW a the feaft of unleavened bread drew nigh, 
which is called The PalTover. 

2 And the chief priefts and fcribes fought how they 
might kill him ; for they feared the people. 

3 If b Then entered Satan into Judas, furnamed 
Ifcariot, being of the number of the twelve. 

4 And he went his way, and communed with the 
chief priefts and captains how he might betray him 
unto them. 

5 And they were glad, and covenanted to give him 
money.. 

6 And he promifed, and fought opportunity to be- 
tray him unto them || in the abfence of the multitude. 

7 1 c Then came the day of unleavened bread, when 
the paffover muft be killed. 

8 And he fent Peter and John, faying, Go and pre- 
pare us the paffover, that we may eat. 

9 And they faid unto him, Where wilt thou that 
we prepare ? 

10 And he faid unto them, Behold, when ye are en- 
tered into the city, there fhall a man meet you bearing 
a pitcher of water ; follow him into the houfe where he 
entereth in. 

11 And ye fhall fay unto the good man of the houfe, 
The mafter faith unto thee, Where is the gueft cham- 
ber, where I fhall eat the paffover with my difciples ? 

12 And he fhall fliew you a large upper room fur- 
nifhed : there make ready. 

13 And they went, and found as he had faid unto 
them ; and they made ready the paffover. 

14 d And when the hour was come, he fat down, 
and the twelve apoftles with him. 

15 And he faid unto them, || With defire I have 
defired to eat this paifover with you before I fuffer : 

16 For I fay unto yon, I will not any more eat 
thereof, until it be fulfilled in the kingdom of God. _ 

17 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, and laid, 
Take this, and divide it- among yourfelyes : 

18 For I fay unto you, I will not drink of the fruit 
of the vine, until the kingdom of God fhall come. 

19 If e And he took bread, and gave thanks, and 
brake it, and gave unto them, faying, This is my body, 
which is given for you : this do in remembrance of me. 

20 Likewife alfo the cup after (upper, faying,This cup 
is the new te {lament in my blood, which is fhed for you . 

21 If f But, behold, the hand of him that betrayeth 
me is with mc on the table. 

22 And truly the Son of man goeth, as it was deter- 
mined : but woe unto that man by whom he is betrayed ! 

23 And they began to inquire among themfelves 
which of them it was that (liquid do this thing. 

24 TI And there was alio a ftrife -among them, which 
of them fhould be accounted the greateit. 

25 s And he faid unto them, The kings of the Gen- 



Christ is betrayed* 

tiles exercife lordfhip over them ; and thev that exer. 
cife authority upon them are called benefactors. 

26 But ye shall not be fo : but he that is greateft 
among you let him be as the younger j and he that is 
chief as lie that doth ferve, 

27 For whether is greater, he that fitteth at meat, 
or he that ferveth ? is not he that fitteth at meat ? but 
I am among you as he that ferveth, 

28 Ye are they which have continued with me in 
my temptations : 

29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as mv Fa« 
ther hath appointed unto me ; 

1 30 That ye may eat and drink at my table in my 
kingdom, h and fit on thrones, judging the twelve J^** 
tribes of Ifrael. ,p?8, 

31 If And the Lord faid, Simon, Simon, behold, 

1 Satan hath defired to have you, that he may fift you 1 > *«• it 
as wheat : 

32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not 1 
and when thou art converted, ftrengthen thy brethren, 

33 And he faid unto him, Lord, I am ready to go 
with thee, both into prifon, and to death. 

34 k And he faid, I tell thee, Peter, the cock fhall k M »t* 
not crow this day, before that thou (halt thrice deny 

that thou knoweft me. 

35 If 1 And he faid unto them, When I fent you 'J****' 
without purfe, and fcrip, and fhoes, lacked ye any M 
thing ? And they faid, Nothing. 

36 Then faid he unto them, But now, he that hath a 
purfe, let him take it, and likewife his fcrip ; and he that 
hath no fword, let Mm fell his garment and buy one, 

37 For I fay unto you, That this that is written muft 

yet be accomplished in me, w And he was reckoned »"« 
among the tranfgrefibrs : for the thmgs concerning me • 3 '* 
have an end. 

38 And they faid, Lord, behold, here are two 
fwords. And he faid unto them, It is enough. 

39 If n And he came out, and went, as he was wont, nwawju 
to the mount of Olives ; and his difciples alio follow. ? * 3 * 
edhim: 

40 ° And w r hen he was at the place> he faid unto « Mat*, 
them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. 

41 And he was withdrawn from them about a (tone's 
caft, and kneeled down, and prayed, 

42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this 
cup from me : neverthelefs, not my will, but thine* be 
done. 

43 And there appeared an angel unto him from 
heaven, ftrengthening him. 

44 And, being in an agony, he prayed more earn* 
eftly : and his fweat was as it were great drops of blood 
falling down to the ground. 

45 And when he rofe up from prayer, and was come 
to his difciples, he found them deeping for forrow, 

46 And faid unto them, Why deep ye ? rife and 
pray, left ye enter into temptation. 

47 If And while he yet fpake, p. behold a multitude, 
and he that was calied Judas, one of the twelve, went 
before them, and drew near unto Jefus to kifs him. 

48 But Jefus faid unto him, Judas, betrayed thou 
the Son of man with a kiis ? 

49 When they which were about him faw what 
would follow, they faid unto him, Lord, ihall we finite 
with the fword ?

51 And Jefus anfwered and faid, Suffer ye thus far. 
And he touched his ear, and healed him. 

52 Then Jefus faid unto the chief priefts, and cap- 
tains of the temple, and the elders^ which were ^ come 
to him, Be ye come out, as againft a thief, with 1 words 
and ftaves 1 

53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye 
ftretched forth no hands againft me : but this is your 
hour, and thepower of darknefs. 

54 M 1 Then took they him, and led him, and 
brought him into the high prielt's houfe. And Peter 
followed afar off. 

55 r And when they had kindled a fire in the midft 
of the hall, and were fet down together, Peter fat 
down among them. 

56 But a certain maid beheld him as he fat by the 
fire, and earneftly looked upon him, and faid, This 
man was alfo with him. 

57 And he denied him, faying, Woman, I know 
him not. 

58 And after a little while another faw him, and faid, 
Thou art alfo of them. And Peter laid, Man, I am not. 

59 And about the fpaceof one hour after, another 
confidently affirmed, faying, Of a. truth this fellow alfo 
was with him ; for he is a Galilean. 

60 And Peter faid , Man, I know not what thou fay eft. 
And immediately, while he yet fpake, the cock crew. 

61 And the Lord turned and looked upon Peter : 
and Peter remembered the word of the Lord, how 
he had faid unto him, Before the cock crow, thou 
fhalt deny me thrice. 

62 And Peter went out, and wept bitterly. 

63 11 And the men that held Jefus mocked him, 
and fmote him. 

m 64 And when they had blindfolded him, they {truck 
him, on the face, and afked him, faying, Prophefy, 
who is it that fmote thee ? 

65 And many other things blafphemoufly fpake 
they againft him. 

66 f s And as foon as it was day, the elders of the 
people, and the chief priefts, and the fcribes, came 
together, and led him into their council, 

67 Saying, Art thou the Chrift ? tell us. And he 
faid unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe : 

68 And if I alfo afk you, ye will not anfwer me, 
nor let me go. 

69 Hereafter fhall the Son of man fit on the right 
hand of the power of God. 

70 Then faid they all, Art thou then the Son of 
God ? And he faid, unto them, * Ye fay that I am. 

71 And they faid, What need we any further wit - 
nefs ? for we ourfelves have heard of his own mouth. 

CHAP. XXIII. 

1 Jesus is accused before Pilate, who scndeth him to 
Herod ; 8 Herod and his men of ivar mock him. 12 
Herod and Pilate are made friends. 13 Pilate wil- 
ling to release Jesus, is prevailed upon to release Bar- 
abbas. 26 Christ exhorteth the women who lamented 
him rather to weep for themselves and their children : 
32 he is crucified between two malefactors : 34 he 
pray eth for his enemies : 46 his death : 47 the cen- 
turion'' s confession of him : 50 his burial, &c. 

ND the whole multitude of them arofe, and led 
him unto Pilate. 
2 And they began to accufe him, faying, We found 



A 



this fellow perverting the nation, and foi bidding to 
give tribute to Cefar, faying, that he himfelf is Chrift 
a king. 

3 a And Pilate afked him, faying, Art thou the king 
cf the Jews ? And he anfwered him, and faid, Thou 
fayefl it. 

4 Then faid Pilate to the chief priefts, and to the 
people, I find no fault in this man. 

5 And they were the more fierce, faying, He ftir- 
reth up the people, teaching throughout all Jewry, 
beginning from Galilee to this place. 

6 When Pilate heard of Galilee, he afked whether 
the man were a Galilean. 

7 And as foon as he knew that he belonged unto 
Herod's jurifdiclion, he lent him to Herod, who him- 
felf alfo was at Jerufalem at that time, 

8 IT And when Herod faw Jefus, he was exceeding 
glad : for he was defirous to fee him of a long season, 
becaufe he had heard many things of him ; and he 
hoped to have feen fome miracle done by him. 

9 Then he queftioned with him in many words ; 
but he anfwered him nothing. 

10 And the chief priefts and fcribes flood, and ve- 
hemently accufed him. 

11 And Herod, with his men of war, fet him at 
nought, and mocked him, and arrayed him in a gor- 
geous robe, and fent him again to Pilate. 

12 H And the fame day Pilate and Herod were 
made friends together : for before they were at en- 
mity between themfelves. 

1*3 IP And Pilate, when he had called together the 
chief priefts, and the rulers,, and the people, 

14 Said unto them, Ye have brought this man un- 
to me as one that perverteth the people : and, behold, 
I, having examined him before you, have found no 
fault in this man, touching thole things whereof ye 
accufe him ; 

15 No, nor yet Herod : for I fent you to him : 
and, lo, nothing worthy of death is done unto him : 

16 I will therefore chaftife him, and releafe him. 

17 (For of neceffity he muft releafe one unto therrr 
at the feaft,) 

18 And they cried out all at once, faying, Away 
with this man, and releafe unto us Barabbas : 

19 (Who for a certain (edition made in the city, 
and for murder, was caft into prifon.) 

20 Pilate,, therefore, willing to releafe Jefus, fpake 
again to them. 

21 But they cried, faying, Crucify him, crucify him. 

22 And he faid unto them the third time, Why ? 
what evil hath he d6ne ? I have found no caufe of 
death in him: I will therefore chaftife him and let 
him go. 

23 And they were inftant with loud voices, requir- 
ing that he might be crucified : and the voices of 
them, and of the chief priefts prevailed. 

24 And Pilate || gave fentence'that it fliould be as 
they required. 

25 And he rcleafed unto them him that for fedition 
and murder was caft into prifon, whom they had dc- 
fired :. but he delivered Jefus to their will. 

26 II c And, as they led him away, they laid hold 
upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out of the 
country, and on him they laid the crofs, that he 
might bear it after Jefus. 

27 And there followed him a great company of 

people,

28 But Jefus, turning unto them, faid, Daughters 
of Jerufalem, weep not for me, but weep for your- 
felves, and for your children. , 

29 For, behold, the days are coming, in the which 
they fhall fay, Blefled are the barren, and the wombs 
that never bare, and the paps which never gave fuck. 

30 d Then fhall they begin to fay to the mountains,

fhall be done in the dry ?

led with him to be put to death.

is called || Calvary, there they crucified him and the 
malefactors ; one on the right hand, and the other on

they know not what they do. And they parted his 
raiment, and call lots.

rulers alfo with them derided him, faying, He faved 
others ; let himfave himfelf, if he be Chrift, the chof-

_ 36 And the foldiers alfo mocked him, coming to 
him, and offering him vinegar, 

37 And faying, If thou be the king of the Jews, fave 
thyfelf. 

38 And a faperfcription alfo was Avritten over him, 
in letters of Greek, and Latin, and Hebrew, THIS IS 
THE KING OF THE JEWS. 

39 IT And one of the malefactors, which were hang- 
ed, railed on him, faying, If thou be Chrift, fave thy- 
felf and us. 

40 But the other, anfwering, rebuked him, faying, 
Doft not thou fear God, feeing thou art in the fame 
condemnation ? 

41 And we indeed juftly ; for we receive the due 
reward of our deeds : but this man hath done nothing 
amifs. 

42 And he faid unto Jefus, Lord, remember me 
when thou comeft into thy kingdom. 

43 And Jefus faid unto him. Verily I fay unto thee, 
Today fhalt thou be with me in paradife. 

44 If And it was about the lixth hour, and there 
was darknefs over all the || earth until the ninth 
hour. 

45 And the fun was darkened, and the veil of the 
temple was rent in the midft. 

46 IT And when Jefus had cried with a loud voice, 
he faid, E Father, into thy hands I commend my fpirit : 
and, having faid thus, he gave up the ghoft. 

47 IT Now, when the centurion faw what was done, 
he glorified God, faying, Certainly this was a righteous 
man. 

48 And all the people that came together to that 
fight, beholding the things which were done, fmote 
their breafts, and returned. 

49 h And all his acquaintance, and the women that 
followed him from Galilee, flood afar off, beholding 
thefe things. 

50 TT And, behold, there was a man named Jofeph, 
a counfellor ; and he was a good man and a jufl :

deed of them :) he was of Arimathea, a city of the

52 This man went unto Pilate, and begged the

53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, ' 
and laid it in a fepulchre that was hewn in flone, 
wherein never man before was laid. 

54 And that day was the preparation, and the fab- 
bath drew on. 

55 II And the women alfo, which came with him 
from Galilee, followed after, and beheld the fepulchre, 
and how his body was laid. 

56 And they returned, and prepared fpices and 
ointments ; and refted the fabbath day, according to 
the commandment. 

CHAP. XXIV. 

1 Christ's resurrection is declared by two angels to the 
women that came to the sepulchre, who report it to 
others, but are not believed. 12 Peter msiteth the 
sepulchre. 13 Christ appeared to two disciples go- 
ing to Emmaus, 36 and to the apostles, who are af- 
frighted ; he desireth them to handle him, eateth 
before them, and explaineth the scriptures concerning 
himself ; 49 he promiseth them the Holy Ghost, 50 
and ascendeth into heaven. 

NOW, a upon the firfl day of the week, very early a Mat*. 
in the morning, they came unto the fepulchre, 28 '' 
bringing the fpices which they had prepared, and cer- 
tain others with them. 

2 And they found the flone rolled away from the 
fepulchre. 

3 And they entered in, and found not the body of 
the Lord Jefus. 

4 And it came to pafs, as they were much perplex- 
ed_ thereabout, behold, two men flood by them in 
fhining garments. 

5 And as they were afraid, and bowed down their 
faces to the earth, they faid unto them, Why feek ye 

|| the living among the dead ? Rpr, 

6 He is not here, but is rifen. b Remember how he uveth. a * 
fpake unto you when he was yet in Galilee, ^l.*** 

7 Saying, The Son of man mufl be delivered into 
the hands of finful men, and be crucified, and the 
third day rife again. 

8 And they remembered his words, 

9 And returned from the fepulchre, and told all 
thefe things unto the eleven, and to all the reft. 

10 It was Mary Magdalene, and Joanna, and Mary 
the mother of James, and other women that were with 
them, which told thefe things unto the apoftles. 

1 1 And their words feemed to them as idle tales, 
and they believed them not. 

12 IT c Then arofe Peter, and ran unto the fepulchre ; c Jf* 
and, flooping down, he beheld the linen clothes laid 

by themfelves, and departed, wondering in himfelf at 
that which was come to pafs. 

13 1 d And behold, two of them wentthat fame day dMar* 
to a village called Emmaus, which was from Jerufa- l6 "' 
lem about threefcore furlongs. 

14 And they talked together of all thefe things 
which had happened. 

15 And it came to pafs, that, while they commun- 
ed together and reafoned, Jefus himfelf drew near, and 
went with them. 

16 But their eyes were holden, that they fhould not 
know him. '-. .

17 And he faid unto tliem, What manner of com- 
munications are thefe that ye have one to another as 
ye walk, and are fad . ? 

18 And the one of them, whofe name was Cleopas, 
anfwering, laid unto him, Art thou only a ftranger 
in Jerufaiem, and haft not known the things which 
are come to pafs there in thefe days ? 

19 And he faid unto them, What things ? And 
they laid unto him, Concerning Jefus of Nazareth, 
which was a prophet, mighty in deed and word before 
God and all the people : 

20 And how the chief priefts and our rulers de- 
livered him to be condemned to death, and have 
crucified him. 

21 But we trufted that it had been he which fhould 
have redeemed Ifrael : and, befides all this, today is 
the third day fmce thefe things were done. 

22 Yea, and certain women alfo of our com- 
pany made us aftoniihed, which were early at the 
fepulchre ; 

23 And, when they found not his body, they came, 
faying, that they had alfo feen a virion of angels, 
which faid that he was alive. 

24 And certain of them which were with us went 
to the fepulchre, and found it even fo as the women 
had faid ; but him they faw not. 

25 Then he laid unto them, O fools, and flow 
of heart to believe all that the prophets have fpoken ! 

26 Ought not Chrifl to have fuffered thefe things, 
and to enter into his glory ? 

27 And beginning at Mofes and all the prophets, 
he expounded unto them in all the fcriptures the 
things concerning himfelf 

28 And they drew nigh unto the village whither 
they went : and he made as though he would have 
gone further. 

29 But they conftrained him, faying, Abide with 
us : for it is toward evening, and the day is far fpent. 
And he went in to tarry with them. 

30 And it came to pafs, as he fat at meat with them, 
he took bread, and bleffed it, and brake, and gave to 
them. 

31 And their eyes were opened, and they knew 
him ; and he || vanilhed out of their fight. 

32 And they faid one to another, Did not our 
heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the 
way, and while he opened to us the fcriptures ? 

33 And they rofe up the fame hour, and returned 



Anno 
DOMlNX 



to Jerufaiem, and found the eleven gathered together, 
and them that were with them, 

34 Saying, The Lord is rifen indeed, and hath > " 
appeared to Simon. 

35 And they told what things were done in the way, 
and how he was known of them in breaking of bread. 

36 *H e And, as they thus fpake, Jefus himfelf flood «M»rk 
in the midftof them, and faith unto them, Peace be l 
unto you. 

37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and fup- 
pofed that they had feen a fpirit. 

38 And he faid unto them, Why are ye troubled ? 
and why do thoughts arife in your hearts ? 

39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I my- 
felf ; handle me, and fee ; for a fpirit hath not fleili 
and bones, as ye fee me have. 

40 And when he had thus fpoken, he fhewed them 
bis hands and his feet. 

41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and won- 
dered, he faid unto them, Have ye here any meat ? 

42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fifh, 
and of an honeycomb. 

43 And he took it, and did eat before them. 

44 And he faid unto them, Thefe are the words 
which I fpake unto you, while I was yet with you, 
that all things muft be fulfilled, which were written in 
the law of Mofes, and in the prophets, and in the 
Pfalms, concerning me. 

45 Then opened he their understanding, that they 
might underfland the fcriptures, 

46 And faid unto them. Thus it is written, and 
thus it behoved Chrift to fuffer, and to rife from the 
dead the third day. 

47 And that repentance and remimon of fins fhould 
be preached in his name, among all nations, beginning 
at Jerufaiem. 

48 And ye are witneffes of thefe things. 

49 If f And, behold, I fend the promife of my Fa- 
ther upon you : but tarry ye in the city of Jerufaiem, 
until ye be endued with power from on high. 

50 \ And he led them out as far as to Bethany, 
and he lifted up his hands, and bleffed them. 

51 s And it came to pafs, 1 while he bleffed them, he 
was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. 

52 And they worfhipped him, and returned to Je- 
rufaiem with great joy ; 

53 And were continually in the temple, praifmg 
and bleffing God. Amen.

among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the 
only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 

15 If John bare witnefs of him, and cried, faying, 
This was he of whom I fpake, He that cometh after 
me is preferred before me ; for he was before me. 

16 And of his f fulnefs have all we received, and 
grace for grace. 

17 For the law was given by Mofes, but grace and 
truth came by Jefus Chrift. 

18 s No man hath feen God at any time ; the only 
begotten Son which is in the bofom of the Father, he 
hath declared him. 

19 If And this is the record of John, when the Jews 
fent priefts and Levites from Jerufaiem to alk him, 
Who art thou ? 

20 And he confeffed, and denied not ; but confeff- 
ed, I am not the Chrift. 

21 And they afked him, What then ? Art thou 
Elias ? And he faith, I am not. Art thou || that proph-

22 Then faid they unto him, Who art thou ? that 
we may give an anfwer to them that fent us ; what 
fayeft thou of thyfeif ? 

23 h He faid, I am the voice of one crying in the 
wildernefs, Make ftraight the way of the Lord, as faid 
the prophet Efaias. 

24 And they which were fent were of the Pharifees. 

25 And they afked him, and faid unto him, Why 
baptized thou then, if thou be not that Chrift, nor 
Elias, neither that prophet ? 

26 John anfwered them, faying, £ I baptize with 
water : but there ftandeth one among you whom ye 
know not ; 

27 He it is, who coming after me is preferred before 
me, whofe fhoe's latchet I am not worthy to unloofe. 

28 Thefe things were done in Bethabara beyond 
Jordan, where John was baptizing. 

29 If The next day John feeth Jefus coming unto 
him, and faith, Behold the Lamb of God, which 
f| takelh away the fm of the world ! 

50 This is he of whom I faid, After me cometh a man 
which is preferred before me : for he was before me. 

31 And I knew him not : but that he fhouldbe 
made manifeft to Ifrael, therefore ami come baptizing 
with water. 

32 k And John bare record, faying, I faw the Spirit 
defcending from heaven like a dove, and it abode

33 And I knew him not : but he that fent me to 
baptize with water, the fame faid unto me, Upon

thou lhalt fee greater things than theie.

9 When the ruler of the feail had tailed the water 
that was made wine, and knew not whence it was, 

' (but the fervants which drew the water knew,) the 
governor of the feail called the bridegroom, 

10 And faith unto him, Every man at the begin- 
ning doth fet forth good wine ; and when men have 
well drunk, then that which is worfe : but thou haft 
kept the good wine until now. 

11 This beginning of miracles did Jefus in Cana 
cf Galilee, and manifefted forth his glory ; and his 
difciples believed on him. 

12 *fi After this he went down to Capernaum, he, 
and his mother, and his brethren, and his difciples ; 
and they continued there not many days. 

13 .Tf And the Jews' paffover was at hand; and 
Jefus went up to Jerufalem, 

14 And found in the temple thofe that fold oxen, and 
fheep, and doves, and the changers of money, fitting : 

15 And, when he had made a fcourge of fmall cords, 
he drove them all out of the temple, and the fheep, 
and the oxen ; and poured out the changers' money, 
and overthrew the tables ; 

16 And faid unto them that fold doves, Take thefe 
things hence : make not my Father's houfe an houfe 
ofmerchandife. 

17 And his difciples remembered that it was writ- 
? . ten, a The zeal of thine houfe hath eaten me up. 

18 If Then anfwered the Jews, and faid unto him, 
What hgn fljeweft thou unto us, feeing that thou 
doeft thefe things ? 

19 Jefus anfwered, and faid unto them, b Deftroy 
this temple, and in three days I willraife it up. 

20 Then faid the Jews, Forty and fix years was 
this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in 
three days ? 

21 But he fpakeof the temple of his body. 

22 When, therefore, he was rifen from the dead, 
his difciples remembered that he had faid this unto 
them : and they believed the fcripture, and the word 
which Jefus had faid. 

23 If Now, when he was, in Jerufalem at the paff- 
over, in the feaft day, many believed in his name, 
when they faw the miracles which he did. 

24 But Jefus did not commit himfelf unto them, 
becaufe he knew all men, 

25 And needed not that any fhould teflify of man : 
for he knew what was in man.

Except a man be born of water, and oflhe. Spirit, he 
cannot enter into the kingdom of God. 

6 That which is born of the fielli is nefh ; and that 
which is born of the Spirit is fpirit. 

7 Marvel not that I faid unto thee, Ye mull be born

8 The wind bloweth where it lifteth, and thou hear- 
eft the found thereof, but canft not tell whence it Com- 
eth, and whither it goeth : fo is every one that is bora

9 Nicodemus anfwered and faid unto him, How can 
thefe tilings be ? 

10 Jefus anfwered, and faid unto him, Art thou a 
mailer of Ifrael, and kno weft not thefe things ? 

1 1 Verily, verily, I fay unto thee, We fpeak that 
we do know, andteftify that we have feen; and ye 
receive not our witnefs. 

12 If I have told you earthly things, and ye believe 
not, how fhall ye believe if I tell you of heavenly things ? 

13 And no man hath afcended up to heaven, but he 
that came down from heaven, even the Son of man, 
which is in heaven. 

14 If a And as Mofes lifted up the ferpent in the a Numb. 
wildernefs, even fo mull the Son of man be lifted up ; 2I 9 * 

15 That whofoever believeth in him fhould not 
periih , but have eternal life. 

16 II b For God fo loved the world, that he gave his 
only begotten Son, that whofoever believeth in him 
fhould not periih, but have everlafting life. 

17 c For God lent not his Son into the world to 
condemn the world ; but that the world through him 
might be faved. 

18 If He that believeth on him is not condemned : 
but he that believeth not is condemned already ; 
becaufe he hath not believed in the name of the only 
begotten Son of God. 

19 And this is the condemnation, d that light is come 
into the world, and men loved darknefs rather than 
light, becaufe their deeds were evil. 

20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, 
neither cometh to the light, left his deeds fhould be 
|| reproved. 

_ 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that 
his deeds may be made manifeft that they are wrought 
in God. 

22 If After thefe things came Jefus and his difciples 
into the land of Judea ; and there he tarried with them, 
e and baptized. 

23 And John alfo was baptizing in iEnon, near to 
Salim, becaufe there was much water there ; and they 
came, and were baptized : 

24 For John was not yet call into prifon.

John's difciples and the Jews about purifying.

1 Christ talketb ivitb a woman of Samaria, and re-

3\he declareth to them his zeal to God's glory ': 39 
many Samaritans believe on hini : 43 he departeth 
into Galilee, and healeth the ruler 's son ivbo lay sick 
at Capernaum. 

WHEN, therefore, the Lord knew how the Phari- 
fees had heard that Jefus made and baptized 
more difciples than John, 

2 (Though Jefus himfelf baptized not, but his dif- 
ciples,) 

3 He left Judea, and departed again into Galilee. 

4 And he mull needs go through Samaria. 

5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is 
called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground a that

6 Now Jacob's well was there. Jefus, therefore, 
being wearied with his journey, fat thus on the well : 
and it was about the fixth hour. 

7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw wa- 
ter. Jefus faith unto her, Give me to drink : 

8 (For his difciples were gone away unto the city 
to buy meat.) 

9 Then faith the woman of Samaria unto him, 
How is it that thou, being a Jew, afkeft drink of me, 
which am a woman of Samaria ? (for the Jews have 
no dealings with the Samaritans.) 

10 Jefus anfwered, and faid unto her, If thou 
kneweft the gift of God, and who it is that faith to 
thee, Give me to drink ; thou wouldeft have afked

nothing to draw with , and the well is deep : from 
whence then haft thou that living water ? 

12 Art thou greater than our father_ Jacob, which 
gave us the well, and drank thereof himfelf, and his 
children, and his cattle ? 

13 Jefus anfwered, and faid unto her, Whofoever 
clrinketh of this water fhall thirft again : 

# 14 But whofoever drinketh of the water that I fhall 
give him fhall never thirft ; but the water that I fhall 
give him fhall be in him a well of water fpringing up 
into everlafting life. 

15 The woman faith unto him, Sir, give me this 
water, that I thirft not, neither come hither to draw.

1 8 For thou haft had five hufbands, and he whom thou 
now haft, is not thy hufband : in that faidft thou truly. 

19 The woman faith unto him, Sir, I perceive that 
thou art a prophet. 

20 Our fathers worfhipped in this mountain ; and 
ye fay, that in b Jerufalem is the place where men bDeut. I25 .

21 Jefus faith unto her, Woman, believe me, the 
hour cometh, when ye fhall neither in this mountain, 
nor yet at Jerufalem, worfhip the Father. 

22 Ye worfhip ye know not what : we know what 
we worfhip ; for falvation is of the Jews. 

23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true 
worfhippers fliall worfhip the Father in fpirit and in 
truth : for the Father feeketh fuch to worfhip him. 

24 c God is a fpirit ; and they that worfhip him, 
muft worfhip him in fpirit and in truth. 

25 The woman faith unto him, I know that MefTias 
cometh, which is called Chrift : when he is come, he 
will teli us all things. 

26 Jefus faith unto her, I that fpeak unto thee am he. 

27 M And upon this came his difciples, and mar- 
velled that he talked with the woman : yet no man faid 
What feekeft thou ? or, Why talkeft thou with her ? 

28 The woman then left her water, pot, and went 
her way into the city, and faith to the men, 

29 Come, fee a man which told me all things that 
ever I did : is not this the Chrift ? 

30 Then they went out of the city, and came unto him. 

31 II In the meanwhile his difciples prayed him, 
faying, Mailer, eat. 

32 But he faid unto them, I have meat to eat that 
ye know not of. 

33 Therefore faid the difciples one to another, 
Hath any man brought him ought to eat ? 

34 Jefus faith unto them, My meat is to do the 
I will of him that fent me, and tofinifh his work. 

35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and 
then cometh harveft ? behold, I fay unto you, Lift up 
your eyes, and look on the fields : d for they are white a

36 And he that reapeth receiveth wages, and gath- 
ereth fruit unto life eternal ; that both he that fow-

they befought him that he would tarry with them : 
and he abode there two days. 

41 And many more believed, becaufe of his own

Christ healeth an impotent man* 

44 e For Jefus himfelf teftified, that a prophet hath 
, no honour in his own country. 

45 Then, when he was come into Galilee, the Ga- 
lileans received him, having feen all the things that he 
did at Jerufalem at the feaffc : for they alio went unto 
the feaft. 

46 So Jefus came again into Cana of Galilee, f where 
he made the water wine. And there was a certain 
|i nobleman, whole fon was fick at Capernaum. 

47 When he heard that Jefus was come out of 
Judea into Galilee, he went unto him, and befought 
him that he would come down and heal his fon ; for 
he was at the point of death. 

48 Then faid Jefus unto him, Except ye fee jigns 
and wonders, ye will not believe. 

49 The nobleman faith unto him, Sir, come down 
ere my child die. 

50 Jefus faith unto him, Go thy way ; thy fon liv- 
eth. And the man believed the word that Jefus had 
fpoken unto him, and he went his way. 

51 And as he was now going down, his fervants 
met him, and told him, faying, Thy fon liveth ! 

52 Then inquired he of them the hour when he 
began to amend. And they faid unto him, Yefterday 
at the feventh hour the fever left him. 

53 So the father knew that it was at the fame hour 
in the which Jefus faid unto him, Thy fon liveth ; and 
himfelf believed, and his whole houfe. 

54 This is again the fecond miracle that Jefus did, 
when he was come out of Judea into Galilee. 

CHAP. V. 
1 Jesus, en the sabbath day, cureth an impotent man 
at the pool of Bethesda; 10 the Jews cavil, and per- 
secute him for it : 17 he justifieth himself by the ex- 
ample of God his Father ; 19 and asserteth the pow- 
er and judgment committed to him by the Father : 
51 he appealeth to the testimony of John, 36 of the 
Father, 3 9 and of the scrip tares. 

FTJER a this there was a feaft of the Jews ; and 
Jefus went up to Jerufalem. 

2 Now there is at Jerufalem, by the fheep || market, 
a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue, Beth- 
efda, having five porches. 

3 In thefe lay a great multitude of impotent folk, 
of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the 
water. 

4 For an angel went down at a certain feafon into 
the pool, and troubled the water : whofoever then 
firft, after the troubling of the water, ftepped in, was 
made whole of whatfoever difeafe he had. 

5 And a certain man was there, which had an infir- 
mity thirty and eight years. _ 

6 When Jefus law him lie, and knew that he had 
been now a long time in that case, he faith unto him, 
Wilt thou be made whole ? 

7 The impotent man anfwered him, Sir, I have no 
man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the 
pool : but, while I am coming, another lleppeth down 
before me. 

8 Jefus faith unto him, Rife, take up thy bed and walk. 

9 And immediately the man was made whole, and 
( took up his bed, and walked : and on the fame day 
" was the fabbath. 

10 11 The Jews, therefore, faid unto him that was 
cured, It is the fabbath day ; 4tis not lawful for thee 
to cany thy bed.

11 lie anfwered them, He that made me whole, 
the lame faid unto me, Take up thy bed and walk. 

12 Then alkecl they him. What man is that which 
faid unto thee, Take up thy bed and walk? 

13 And he that was healed wilt not who it was : 

for Jefus had conveyed himfelf away, || a multitude n or, 
being in ahat place £&& 

14 Afterward Jefus findeth him in the temple, and that ™ s - 
faid unto him, Behold, thou art made whole : fin no 
more, left a Avorft thing come unto thee. 

15 The man departed, and told the Jews,, that it 
was Jefus which had made him whole. 

16 And therefore did the Jews perfecute Jefus, and 
fought to flay him, becaufe he had done thefe things 
on the fabbath clay. 

m 17 If But Jefus anfwered them, My Father worketh. 
hitherto, and I work. 

18 Therefore the Jews fought the more tokill him, 
becaufe he not only had broken the fabbath, but faid 
alfo, that God was his Father, making himfelf equal 
with God. 

19 IF Then anfwered Jefus, and faid unto them, Veri- 
ly, verily, I fay unto you, The Son can do nothing of 
himfelf, but what hefeeththe Father do : for what things 
foever he doeth, thefe alfo doeth the Son likewife. 

20 For the Father loveth the Son, and fheweth him 
all things that himfelf doeth : and he will fhew him 
greater works than thefe, that ye may marvel. 

21 For as the Father raifeth up the dead, and quick- 
eneth them; even fo the Son quickeneth whom he will. 

22 For the Father judgeth no man ; but hath com- 
mitted all judgment unto the Son : 

23 That all men mould honour the Son, even as 
they honour the Father. He that honoureth not the 
Son, honoureth not the Father which hath fent him. 

24 Verily, verily, I fay unto you, He that heareth 
my word, and believeth on him that fent me, hath 
everlafting life, and fhall not come into condemnation ; 
but is palled from death unto life. 

25 Verily, verily, I fay unto you, the hour is com- 
ing, and now is, when the dead fhall hear the voice of 
the Son of God : and they that hear fhall live. 

26 For as the Father hath life in himfelf, fo hath he 
given to the Son to have life in himfelf; 

27 And hath given him authority to execute judg- 
ment alfo, becaufe he is the Son of man. 

28 Marvel not at this : for the hour is coming, in the 
which all that are in the graves fhall hear his voice, 

29 And fhall come forth ; c they that have done c ? ra - t!i - 
good, unto the refurreclion of life, and they that have 2i 4& ' 
done evil, unto the refurreclion of damnation. 

50 I can of mine own felf do nothing : as I hear, I 
judge, and my judgment is juft; becaufe I feek not 
mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath 
fent me.

CHAP. VI. 

1 Christ feedeth five thousand men with five loaves a?id 
two fishes ;- 15 he withdraweth himself from the peo- 
ple who would have made him a king, andwalketh 
on the sea : 22 the multitude flocking unto him, he 
reproveth their carnal views ■: 30 they ask a sign 
like that of the manna, and he declareth himself to 
be the bread of life. 66 Many leaving him, Peter, 
in the name of the twelve, prof cssetb stedfast faith 
in him. 

AFTER thefe^ things Jefus went over the fea of 
Galilee, which is the sea of Tiberias. 

2 And a great multitude followed him, becaufe 
they faw his miracles which he did on them that were 
difeafed. 

3 And Jefus went up into a mountain, and there 
he fat with his difciples. 

4 a And the paffover, a feaft of the Jews, was nigh. 

5 b When Jefus then lifted up his eyes, and faw 
a great company come unto him, he faith unto 
Philip, Whence fhall we buy bread, that thefe may 
eat? 

6 (And this he faid to prove him : for he himfelf 
knew what he would do.) 

7 Philip anfwered him, Two hundred penny worth 
of bread is not fufficient for them, that every one of 
them may take a little. 

8 One of his difciples, Andrew, Simon Peter's bro- 
ther, faith unto him, 

9 There is a lad here which hath five barley loaves, 
and two fmall fifh.es : but what are they among fo 
many ? 

10 And Jefus faid, Make the men fit clown. Now 
there was much grafs in the place. So the men fat 
down, in number about five thoufand. 

11 And Jefus took the loaves ; and, when he had 



The people ask a sign, 

given thanks, he diftributed to the difciples, and the 
difciples to them that were fet down ; and likewife of. 
the fillies, as much as they would. 

12 When they were filled, he faid unto his difciples, 
Gather up the fragments that remain, that nothing be 
loft. 

13 Therefore they gathered them together, and 
filled twelve bafkets with the fragments of the five 
barley loaves, which remained over and above unto 
them that had eaten. 

14 Then thofe men, when they had feen the mira- 
cle that Jefus did, faid, This is of a truth that prophet 
that fhould come into the world. 

15 IF When Jefus, therefore, perceived that they 
would come and take him by force to make him a 
king, he departed again into a mountain himfelf 
alone. 

16 c And when even was now come, his difciples f^!* 
went down unto the fea, 

17 And entered into a fhip, and went over the fea 
toward Capernaum : audit w T as now dark, and Jefus 
was not come to them. 

18 And the fea arofe, by reafon of a great wind 
that blew. 

19 So when they had rowed about five and twenty 
or thirty furlongs, they fee Jefus walking on the fea, - 
and drawing nigh unto the ihip : and they were 
afraid. 

20 But he faith unto them, It is I ; be not afraid. 

21 Then they willingly received him into the fhip ; 
and immediately the fhip was at the land whither they 
went. 

22 IF The day following, when the people which 
flood on the other fide of the fea, faw that there was 
none other boat there fave that one whereinto his 
difciples were entered, and that Jefus went not with 
his difciples into the boat, but that his difciples were 
gone away alone ; 

23 (Howbeit there came other boats from Tiberias, 
nigh unto the place where they did eat bread, after 
that the Lord had given thanks ;) 

24 When the people, therefore, faw that Jefus was 
not there, neither his difciples, they alfo took fhipping, 
and came to Capernaum, feeking for Jefus. 

25 And, when they had found him on the other 
fide of the fea, they faid unto him» Rabbi, when cam- 
ell thou hither ? 

26 Jefus anfwered them, and faid, Verily, verily, 
I fay unto you, Ye feek me, not becaufe ye faw the 
miracles, but becaufe ye did eat of the loaves, and 
were filled. 

27 || Labour not for the meat which perifheth, but 
for that meat which endureth unto everlafting life, 
which the Son of man fhall give unto you : d for him 
hath God the Father fealed. 

28 Then faid they unto him, What fhall we do, 
that we might work the works of God ? 

29 Jefus anfwered, and faid unto them, e This is 
the work of God, that ye believe on him whom he 
hath fent. 

30 IT They faid therefore unto him, What fign 
fhewefi thou then, that we may fee and believe thee I 
what doll thou work ?

32 Then Jefus faid unto them, Verily, verily, I fay 
, unto you, Mofes gave you not that bread from hea- 
ven ; but my Father giveth you the true tfread from 
heaven. 

33 For the bread of God is he which cometh down 
from heaven, and giveth life unto the world. 

34 Then laid they unto him, Lord, evermore give 
us this bread. 

35 And Jefus faid unto them, I am the bread of life ; 
he that cometh to me fhall never hunger ; and he that 
believeth on me fliall never third. 

36 But I faid unto you, that ye alfo have feen me, 
and believe not. 

37 All that the Father giveth me fliall come to me ; 
and him that cometh to me, I will in no wife call 
out. 

38 For I came down from heaven, not to do mine 
own will, but the will of him that fent me. 

39 And this is the Father's will'which hath fent me, 
that of all which he hath given me I fhould lofe 
nothing, but fhould raife it up again at the lad day. 

40 And this is the will of him that fent me, that 
every one which feeth the Son, and believeth on him, 
may have everlading life : and I will raife him up at 
the lad day. 

41 The Jews then murmured at him, becaufe he 
faid, I am the bread which came down from heaven. 

42 And they faid, h Is not this Jefus the Son of 
Jofeph, whofe father and mother we know ? how is it 
then that he faith, I came down from heaven ? 

43 Jefus, therefore, anfwered, and faid unto them, 
Murmur not among yourfelves. 

44 No man can come to me, except the Father 
which hath fent me, draw him : and I will raife him 
up at the lad day. 

45 l It is written in the prophets, And they fhall be 
all taught of God. Every man, therefore, that hath 
heard, and hath learned of the Father, cometh unto me. 

46 Not that any man hath feen the Father, k fave he 
which is of God, he hath feen the Father. 

47 Verily, verily, I fay unto you, He that believeth 
on me hath everlading life. 

48 I am that bread, of life. 

49 Your fathers did eat manna in the wildernefs, 
and are dead. 

50 This is the bread which cometh down from hea- 
ven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die. 

51 I am the living bread which came down from 
heaven: if any man eat of this bread he fhall live for 
ever ; and the bread that I will give is my flefli, which 
I will give for the life of the world. 

52 The Jews, therefore, drove among themfelves, 
faying, How can this man give us his flelh to eat ? 

53 Then Jefus faid unto them, Verily, verily, I fay 
unto you, Except ye eat the flelh of the Son of man, 
and drink his blood, ye have no life in you. 

54 Whofo eateth my flelh, and drinketh my blood, 
hath eternal life ; and I will raife him up at the lad 
day. 

55 For my flefli is meat indeed, and my blood is 
drink indeed. 

56 He that eateth my flefli, and drinketh my blood, 
dwcllcth in me, and I in him. 

57 As the living Father hath fent me, and I live by 
the Father ; fo he that eateth me, even he ihall live 
by me. 



58 This is that bread which came down from hea- 
ven : not as your fathers did eat manna, and are dead. 
He that eateth of this bread fliall live for ever.

man can come unto me, except it were given unto 
him of my Father.

1 Jesus refuseth to go to Jerusalem at the feast of tab- 
ernacles, but afterward goeth up in secret. 11 The 
Jews seek him : 14 he teacheth in the temple ; 30 
many believe ; officers sent to take him: 40 clivers 
opinions concerning him among the people : 45 the 
officers, struck with his discourse, return without him, 
and are rebuked by the Pharisees, who also chide 
with Nicodemusfor taking his part. 

AFTER thefe things Jefus walked in Galilee : for 
he would not walk in Jewry, becaufe the Jews 
fought to kill him. 

2 a Now the Jews' fead of tabernacles was at hand. 

3 His brethren, therefore, faid unto him, Depart 
hence, and go into Judea, that thy difciples alio may 
fee the works that thou doed. 

4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in fecret, 
and he himiclf feeketh to be known openly "• if thou 
do thefe things, ihew thyfelf to the world. 

5 For neither did his brethren believe in him, 

6 Then Jefus laid unto them, My time is not yet 
come ; but your time is alway ready. 

7 The world cannot hate you ; but me it hateth, 
becaufe I tcdify of it, that the works thereof are evil. 

8 Go ye up unto this fead : I go not up yet unto

faid, When Chrift cometh, will he do more miracles 
than thefe which this man hath done ? 

32 Tiie Pharifees heard that the people murmured 
fuch things concerning him ; and the Pharifees and 
the chief priefts fent officers to take him. 

33 II Then faid Jefus unto them, Yet a little while 
am I with you, and then I go unto him that fent me. 

34 ll Ye ilia.ll feek me, and lhall not find me: and 
where lam, thither ye cannot come, 

3 5 Then faid the Jews among themfelves, Whither will 
he gc> that we lhall not find him ? will he go unto the 
difperfed among the || Gentiles, and teach the Gentiles ? 

36 What manner of faying is this that he faid, Ye 
fliall feek me, and (hall not find me ; and where I am, 
thither ye cannot come ? 

37 : In the laft day, that great day of the feaft, Jefus

11 VFhen the Jews fought him at the feaft, and 
faid, Where is he ? 

12 And there was much murmuring among the 
people concerning him : for fome faid, He is a good 
man; others faid, Nay; but he deceiveth the people. 

13 Howbeit, no man fpake openly of him for fear 
of the Jews. 

14 If Now, about the midft of the feaft, Jefus went 
up into the temple, and taught. 

15 And the Jews marvelled, faying, Plow knoweth 
this man || letters, having never learned ? 

16 Jefus anfwered them, and laid, My doctrine is 
not mine, but his that fent me. 

17 If any man will do his will, he fhail know of 
the doclrine, whether it be of God, or whether I 
fpeak of myielf. 

18 He that fpeaketh of himfelf feeketli his own glo- 
ry ; but he that feeketh his glory that fent him, the 
fame is true, and no unrighteoufnefs is in him. 

19 c Did not Mofes give you the law, and yet none 
of y ou keepeth the law ? d Why go ye about to kill me ? 

20 The people anfwered and laid, Thou haft a devil: 
who goeth about to kill thee ? 

21 Jefus anfwered, and faid unto them, I have done 
one work, and ye all marvel. 

22 e Mofes, therefore, gave unto you circumcifion, 
(not becaufe it is of Mofes, f but of the fathers,) and 
ye on the fabbath day circumcife a man. 

23 If a man on the fabbath day receive circumci- 
fion, || that the law of Mofes ihould not be broken ; 
are ye angry at me, becaufe I have made a man every

no man laid hands on him.

deceived ? 

48 Have any of the rulers, or of the Pharifees, be-

at the eldeft, even unto the laft ; and Jefus was left 
alone, and the woman Handing in the midft. 

10 When Jefus had lifted up himfelf, and faw none 
but the woman, he faid unto her, Woman, where are 
thofe thine accufers ? hath no man condemned thee. 

11 She laid, No man, Lord. And Jefus faid unto 
her, neither do I condemn thee : go, and fin no more. 

12 Ti Then fpake Jefus again unto them, faying, c I 
am the light of the world : he that followeth me lhall 
not walk in darknefs, but fliall have the light of life. 

13 The Pharifees, therefore, faid unto him, d Thou 
beareft record of thyfelf ; thy record is not true. 

14 Jefus anfwer-ed, and faid unto them, Though I 
bear record of -myfelf, yet my record is true : for I 
know whence I came, and whither I go ; but ye can- 
not tell whence I come, and whither I go. 

15 Ye judge after the flefh : I judge no man. 

16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true ; for I 
am not alone, but I and the Father that fent me. 

17 e It is alfo written in jour law, that the teftimony 
of two men is true, 

18 1 am one that bear witnefs of myfelf, and the Fa- 
ther that fent me beareth witnefs of me. 

19 Then faid they unto him, Where is thy Father ? 
Jefus anfwered, Ye neither know me ncr my Father : 
if ye had known me, ye fhould have known my Fa- 
ther alfo. 

20 Thefe words fpake Jefus in the treafury, as he 
taught in the temple ; and no man laid hands on him ; 
for his hour was not yet come. 

21 Then laid Jefus again unto them, I go my 
way, and ye fhall feek me, and lhall die in your iins : 
whither I go, ye cannot come. 

22 Then faid the Jews, Will he kill himfelf? becaufe 
he faith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. 

23 And he faid unto them, Ye are from beneath ; I 
am from above : ye are of this world ; I am not of 
this world, 

24 I faid, therefore, unto you, that ye fhall die in 
your fins : for if ye believe not that I am he, ye fhall 
die in your fins. 

25 Then faid they unto him, Who art thou ? And 
Jefus faith unto them, Even the same that I faid unto 
you from the beginning. 

26 I have many things to fay and to judge of you : 
but he that fent me is true ; and I fpeak to the world 
thofe things which I have heard of him. 

27 They underftood not that he fpake to them of 
the Father. 

28 Then faid Jefus unto them, When ye have lifted 
tip the Son of man, then lhall ye know that I am he, 
and that I do nothing of myielf ; but as my Father 
hath taught me, I fpeak thefe things. 

29 And he that fent me is with me : the Father 
hath not left me alone ; for I do always thofe things 
that pleafe him. 

30 As he fpake thefe words, many believed on 
him. 

31 II Then faid Jefus to thofe Jews which believed 
on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my 
difciples indeed ; 

32 And ye lhall know the truth, and the truth lhall 
make you free. 

33 IF They anfwered him, We be Abraham's feed, 
and wefe never in bondage to any man : how layeft 
thou, Ye lhall be made free ? 

4Q 




34 Jefus anfwered them, Verily, verily, I fay unto 
you, f Whofoever committeth fin is the fervant of fin. 

35 And the fervant abideth not in the houfe for 
ever : but the Son abideth ever. 

36 If the Son, therefore, fhall make you free, 
fhall be free indeed. 

37 I know that ye are Abraham's feed ; but ye feek 
to kill me, becaufe my w r ordhath no place in you. 

38 1 fpeak that which I have feen with my Father ; 
and ye do that which ye have feen with your father. 

39 They anfwered and faid unto him, Abraham is 
our father. Jefus faith unto them, If ye were Abra- 
ham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. 

40 But now ye feek to kill me, a man that hath told 
you the truth, which I have heard of God : this did 
not Abraham. 

41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then faid they 
to him, We be not born of fornication ; we have one 
Father, even God. 

42 Jefus faid unto them, If God were your Father, 
ye would love me : for I proceeded forth, and came 
from God ; neither came 1 of myfelf, but he fent me. 

43 Why do ye not underftand my fpeech ? even 
becaufe ye cannot hear my word. 

44 s Ye are of your father the devil, and the lulls of | \ J ohn 
your father ye will do ; he was a murderer from the 
beginning, and abode not in the truth, becaufe there is 

no truth in him. When he fpeaketh a lie, he fpeaketh 
of his own : for he is a liar, and the fadier of it. 

45 And becaufe I tell you the truth, ye believe me 
not. 

46 Which of you convinceth me of fin ? And if I 
fay the truth, why do ye not believe me ? 

47 h He that is of God heareth God's words ; ye, h I J oho 
therefore, hear them not, becaufe ye are not of God. 

48 IT Then anfwered the Jews, and faid unto him, 
Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and haft a 
devil ? 

49 Jefus anfwered, I have not a devil : but I honour 
my Father, and ye do difhonour me. 

50 And I feek not mine own glory ; there is one 
that feeketh and judgeth. 

51 Verily, verily, I fay unto you, If a man keep my 
faying, he lhall never fee death. 

52 Then laid the Jews unto him, Now we know 
that thou haft a devil. Abraham is dead, and the pro-- 
phets ; and thou fayeft, If a man keep my faying, he 
fhall never tafte of death. 

53 Art thou greater than otir father Abraham which 
is dead ? and the prophets are dead ; whom makeft 
thou thyfelf ? 

54 Jefus anfwered, If I honour myfelf, my honour 
is nothing ; it is my Father that honoureth me, of 
whom ye fay, that he is your God. 

55 Yet ye have not known him ; but I know him : 
and if I fhould fay, I know him not, I fhall be a liar 
like unto you ; but I know him, and keep his faying. 

56 Your father Abraham rejoiced to fee my day ; 
and he faw it, and was glad. 

57 Then laid the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet 
fifty years old, and haft thou feen Abraham ? 

58 Jefus faid unto them, Verily, verily, I fay unto 
you, Before Abraham was, I am. 

59 1 Then took they up ftones to call at him : but 
Jefus hid himfelf, and went out of the temple, going 
through the midft of them, andfo palfed by.

CHAP. IX. 
A man who was born blind restored to sight: %he re- 
late th the means of his cure : 13 he is brought to the 
Pharisees, who_ examine him stricthj : 34 they ex- 
communicate him: 35 he is received of Jesus, and 
confesseth him. 39 Christ chargeth the Pharisees 
with spiritual blindness. 

AND as Jesus patted by, he faw a man which was 
blind from his birth. 
. 2 And his difciples alked him, faying, Mailer, who 
did fin , this man , or his parents , that he was born blind ? 
_ 3 Jef lis anfvvered, Neither hath this man finned, nor 
his parents : but that the works of God fhould be 
made manifefl in him. 

4 I mull work the works of him that fent me while 
it is day : the night cometh when no man can work. 

5 As long as I am in the world, a I am the light of 
the world. 

6 When he had thus fpoken, he fpat on the ground, 
and made clay of the fpittle, and he || anointed the eyes 
of the blind man with the clay, 

7 Andfaid unto him, Go, wafh in the pool of Silo- 
am, ( which is,, by interpretation, Sent.) He went his 
way, therefore, and warned,, and came feeing. 

8 II The neighbours, therefore, and they which be- 
fore had feen him, that he was blind, faid, Is not this 
he that fat and begged ? 

9 Some faid, This is he ; others said, He is like 
him : but he faid, I am he. 

10 Therefore, faid they unto him, How were thine 
eyes opened ? 

• it He anfwered and faid, A man that is called Je- 
ms, made clay, and anointed mine eyes, and faid unto 
me, Go to the pool of Siloam, and wafh : and I went 
and walhed, and I received light. 

12 Then faid they unto him, Where is he I He faid, 
I know not. 

13 If They brought to the Pharifees, him that afore- 
time was blind. 

14 And it was the fabbath day when Jefus made the 
clay, and opened his eyes. _ 

15 Then again the Pharifees alfo alked him how he 
had received his light. He faid unto them, He put 
clay upon mine eyes, and I waihed, and do lee. 

16 Therefore, faid fome of the Pharifees, This man 
is not of God, becaufe he keepeth not the fabbath day. 
Others faid, How can a man that is a fmner, do fuch 
miracles ? And there was a divifion among them. 

17 They fay unto the blind man again, What fayeft 
thou of him ? that he hath opened thine eyes ? He 
faid, He is a prophet. 

18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him that 
he had been blind, and received his fight, until they 
called the parents of him that had received his fight. 

19 And they alked them, faying, Is this your fon, 
who ye fay was born blind ? how then doth he now fee ? 

20 His parents anfwered them, and faid, We know- 
that this is our fon, and that he was born blind : 

21 But by what means he now feeth, we know not ; 
or who hath opened his eyes, we know not : he is of 
age ; alk him : he fhall fpeak for himfelf. 

22 Thefe words fpake his parents, becaufe they fear- 
ed the Jews : for the Jews had agreed already, that if 
any man did confefs that he was Chrift, he fhould be 
put out of the fynagogue. 

23 Therefore, faid his parents, He is of age, alk him. j 



Christ the door, &c. 



24 Then again called they the man that was blind, 
and faid unto him, Give God the praife : we know 
that this man is a finner. 

25 He anfwered and faid, Whether he be a finner 
or no, I know not : one thing I know,: that whereas I 
was blind, now I fee, 

26 Then faid they to him again, What did he to 
thee ? how opened he thine eyes ?. 

27 He anfwered them,. I have told you already, and 
ye did not hear : wherefore would ye hear it again ? 
will ye alfo be his difciples I 

28 Then they reviled him, and faid, Thou art his 
difciple ; but we are Mofes difciples. 

29 We know that God fpake unto Mofes :. as for 
this fellow, we know not from whence he is. 

30 The man anfwered, and faid unto them, Why, 
herein, is a marvellous thing, that ye know not from 
whence he is, and ye t he hath opened mine eyes. 

. 31 Nov/ we know that God '.eareth not linners t 
but if any man be a worfliipper of God, and doeth his 
will, him he heareth... 

- 32 Since the world began was it not heard, that any 
man opened the eyes of one that was born blind; 

33 If this man were not of God, .he could do nothing. 

34 1 They anfwered, and faid unto him, Thou waft 
altogether born in fins, and doll thou teach us ? And 
they || call him out. 

35 If Jefus heard that they had call him. out : and 
when he had found him, he faid unto him, Doft thou 
believe on the Son of God ?. 

36 He anfwered and faid, Who is he, Lord, that I 
might believe on him ? 

37 And Jefus laid unto him, Thou hall both feen 
him, and it is he that talketh with thee. 

38 And he faid, Lord, I believe., And he worfhip- 
ped him. 

39 If And Jefus faid, for judgment I am come into 
this world ; that they which fee not,_ might fee, and 
that diey which fee, might be made blind. 

40 And some of the Pharifees,. which were with him, 
heard thefe words, and faid unto him, Are we blind alfo? 

41 Jefus faid unto them, If ye were blind, ye fhould 
have no fin : but now ye fay, We fee ; therefore your 
fin remaineth.

7 Then faid Jefus unto them again, Verily, verily, 
I fay unto you, I am the door of the lheep. 

8 All that ever came before me are thieves and 
robbers : but the fheep did not hear them. 

9 1 am the door ; by me, if any man enter in, he 
fball be laved, and fhall go in and out and findpafture. 

10 The chief cometh not but for to ileal, and to 
kill, and to deftroy : I am come that they might have 
life, and that they might have it more abundantly, 

11 a Iam the good fhepherd : the goqd fhepherd 
giveth his iife for the fheep. 

12 But he that is an hireling, and not the fhepherd, 
whofe own the fheep are not, feeth the wolf coming, 
and leaveth the fheep and fleeth ; and the wolf catch- 
eth them, and fcattereth the flieep. 

13 The hireling fieeth, becaufe he is an hireling, 
and careth not for the flieep. 

14 I am the good fhepherd, and know my sheep, 
and am known of mine. 

15 As the Father knoweth me, even fo know I the 
Father : and I lay down my life for the flieep. 

16 And other fheep I have, which are not of this 
fold : them alfo I mult bring, and they fhall hear my 
voice : b and there fhall be one fold, and one fhep- 
herd. 

17 Therefore doth my Father love me, c becaufe 
I lay down my life, that I might take it again. 

18 No man taketh it from me, but I lay it down 
ofmyfelf: I have power to lay it down, and I have 
power to take it again. d This commandment have 
I received of my Father. 

19 11 There was a divifion, therefore, again among 
the Jews for thefe \Vyings. 

20 And many of them faid, He hath a devil, and 
is mad ; whj' hear ye him ? 

21 Others faid, Thefe are not the words of him that 
hath a devil : can a devil open the eyes of the blind ? 

22 1 And it was at Jerufalem the e feaft of the ded- 
ication, and it was winter. 

23 And Jefus walked in the temple in Solomon's 
porch. 

24 Then came the Jews round about him and faid 
unto him, How long doll thou || make us to doubt? 
If thou be the Chrift, tell us plainly. 

25 Jefus anfwered them, I told you, and ye believ- 
ed not : the works that I do in my Father's name, 
they bear witnefs of me, 

26 But ye believe not -, becaufe ye are not of my 
flieep, as I faid unto you. 

27 My fheep hear my voice, and I know them, 
and they follow me : 

28 And I give unto them eternal life ; and they 
fhall never perifh, neither (hall any man pluck them 
out of my hand. 

29 My Father, w T hich gave them me, is greater than 
all : and no man is able to pluck them out of my Fa- 
ther's hand. 

30 I and my Father are one. 

311 Then the Jews took up flones again to ftone 
him. 

32 Jefus anfwered them, Many good works have 
I fhewed you from my Father ; for which of thofe 
works do ye ftone me ? 

33 The Jews anfwered him, faying, For a good 
work we ftone thee not, but for blafphemy, and be- 
caufe that thou, being a man, makc.ft tliyielf God. 



Of * Psalm

34 Jefus anfwered them, f Is it not written in your 
law, I faid, Ye are gods ? 

35 If he called them gods unto whom the word 
God came, and the fcripture cannot be broken, 

36 Say ye of him whom the Father hath faiicllned, 
and lent into the world, Thou blafphemeft ; becaufe 
I faid, I am the Son of God ? 

37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me 
not. 

38 But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe 
the works ; that ye may know and believe that the 
Father is in me, and I in him, 

39 U Therefore they fought again to take him : but 
he efcaped out of their hand, 

40 And went away again beyond Jordan, into the 
place where John at firft baptized ; and there he abode.

did no miracle ; but all things that John fpake of this 
man were true.

1 The sickness .and death of Lazarus ; Jesus raiseth 
him to life ; many Jews believe. 47 The Pharisees 
hold a council against Christ ; 49 Caiaphas prophe- 
sietb ; Jesus ivitbdratvetb himself. 55 At the ap- 
proach of the passover the Jews inquire about him ; 
the rulers give orders to apprehend him. 

NOW a certain man was lick, named Lazarus of 
Bethany, the town of Mary and her lifter Martha. 
p. ( a It was that Mary which anointed the Lord aMat*, 
with ointment, and. wiped his feet with her hair, 
whofe brother Lazarus Was fick.) 

3 Therefore his lifters fent unto him, faying, Lord, 
behold, he whom thou loveft is lick. ' 

4 When Jefus heard that, he faid, This ficknefs is 
not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the 
Son of God might be glorified thereby. 

5 Now Jefus loved Martha, and her filler, and 
Lazarus. 

6 When he had heard, therefore, that he was fick, 
he abode two days Hill in the fame place where he was. 

7 Then after that faith he to his difciples, Let us 
go into Judea again. 

8 His difciples fay unto him, Mailer, the Jews of late 
fought to ftone thee, and goeft thou thither again ? 

9 Jefus anfwered. Are there not twelve hours in 
the day ? If any man walk in the day, he Uumbleth 
not, becaufe he feeth the light of this world : 

10 But if a man walk in the night, he Uumbleth, 
becaufe there is no light in him. 

1 1 Thefe things faid he : and after that he faith

that I may awake him out of fleep.

Lazarus is raised from the dead. S. J 

18 (Now Bethany was nigh unto Jerufalem, || about 
fifteen furlongs off) 

19 And many of the Jews came to Martha and 
Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 

20 Then Martha, as foon as ihe heard that Jefus 
was coming, went and met him : but Mary fat still 
in the houfe. 

21 Then faid Martha unto Jefus, Lord, if thou 
hadft been here, my brother had not died. 

22 But I know, that even now, whatfoever thou 
wilt afk of God, God will give it thee. 

23 Jefus faith unto her, Thy brother fhall rife again. 
m 24 Martha faith unto him, b I know that he ihall 

rife again in the refurreclion at the laft day. 

25 Jefus faid unto her, I am the refurre£lion and 
the c life : he that believeth in me, though he were 
dead, yet fhall he live. 

26 And whofoever liveth, and believeth in me, 
fhall never die. Believefl thou this ? 

27 She faith unto him, Yea, Lord : I believe that 
thou art the Chrift, the Son of God, which ihould 
come into the world. 

28 And when fhe had fo faid, flie went her way, 
and called Mary her filler fecretly, faying, The Mailer 
is come, and calleth for thee. 

29 As foon as ihe heard thah fhe arofe quickly, 
and came unto him. 

30 Now Jefus was not yet come into the town, but 
was in that place where Martha met him. 

3 1 The Jews then which were with her in the houfe, 
and comforted her, when they faw Mary, that ihe rofe 
up haflily and went out, followed her, faying, She 
goeth unto the grave to weep there. 

32 Then when Mary was come where Jefus was, and 
faw him, fne fell down at his feet, laying unto him, 
Lord, if thou hadft been here my brother had not died. 

33 When Jefus, therefore, faw iter weeping, and the 
Jews alio weeping which came with her, he groaned 
in the fpirit, and f was troubled, 

34 And faid, where have ye laid him ? They fay 
unto him, Lord, come and fee. 

35 Jefus wept. 

36 Then faid the Jews, Behold how he loved him ! 

37 And fome of them faid, Could not this man, 
d which opened the eyes of the blind, have caufed 
that even this man ihould not have died ? 

38 Jefus therefore, again groaning in himfelf, com- 
eth to the grave. It was a cave, and a ftone lay upon it. 

39 Jefus faid, Take ye away the ftone. Martha> the 
filler of him that was dead, faith unto him, Lord, by 
this time he ftinketh ; for he hath been dead four days. 

40 Jefus faith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, 
if thou wouldeft believe, thou fhouldeft fee the glory 
of God? 

41 Then they took away the ftone from the place 
where the dead was laid. And Jefus lifted up his eyes, 
and faid, Father, I thank thee that thou haft heard me. 

42 And I knew that thou heareft me always : but 
becaufe of the people which Hand by, I faid it, that 
they may believe that thou haft lent me. 

43 And when he thus had fpoken, he cried with a 
loud voice, Lazarus, come forth, 

44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand 
and foot with grave clothes : and his face was bound 
about with a napkin. Jefus faith unto them, Loofe 
him, and let him go.

Mary anoint eth the feet of jfesur* 

45 Then many of the Jews which came to Mary, 
and had feen the things which Jefus did, believed on 
him. 

46 But fome of them went their ways to the Phar- 
ifees, and told them what things Jefus had done. 

47 IT Then gathered the chief priefts and the Phar- 
ifees, a council, and faid, What do we ? for this man 
doeth many miracles. 

48 If we let him thus alone, all men Avill believe on 
him ; and the Romana iliall come and take away both 
our place and nation. 

49 And one of them, named Caiaphas, being the 
high prieft that fame year, faid unto them, Ye know 
nothing at all, 

50 e Nor confider that it is expedient for us that one e chap-.* i«i 
man ihould die for the people, and that the whole na- 
tion perifli not. 

51 And this fpake he not of himfelf : but being 
high prieft that year, he propheiled that Jefus ihould 
die for that nation ; 

52 And not for that nation only, but that alfo he 
fhouid gather together in one the children of God that 
were fcattered abroad. 

53 Then, from that day forth, they took counfel 
together for to put him to death. 

54 Jefus, therefore, walked no more openly among 
the Jews ; but went thence unto a country near to the 
wildernefs, into a city called Ephraim, and there con- 
tinued with his diiciples. 

55 IF And the Jews' paffover was nigh at hand ; and 
many went out of the country up to Jerufalem before 
the paifover, to purify themfelves. 

56 Then fought they for Jefuv, and fpake among 
themfelves, as they ftood in the temple, What think 
ye ? that he will not come to the feail ? 

57 Now both the chief prieils and the Pharifees 
had given a commandment, that if an>? man knew 
where he were, he fhouid mew k t that tiiey might 
take him. 

CHAP. XII. 

1 Mary anointeth the feet of Jesus ; Judas murmur- 
eth at the cost. 9 The people flock to see Lazarus ; 
the chief priests consult to kill him. 12 Jesus rideth 
into Jerusalem; 20 certain Greeks desire to see him .- 
23 hesheweth the benefit of his death to believers. 37 
The generality of the Jews believe not ; 42 yet ma- 
ny of the chief rulers believe, but do not confess him : 
44 he urg eth faith in his divine mission. 

THEN Jefcs, fix days before the paffover, came 
to Bethany, where Lazarus was, which had been 
dead, whom he raifed from the dead. 

2 There they made him a fupper, and Martha 
ferved : but Lazarus was one of them that fat at the 
table with him. 

3 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of fpike- 
nard, very coftiy, and anointed the feet of Jefus, and 
wiped his feet with her hair : and the houfe was filled 
with the odour of the ointment. 

4 Then faith one of his difciples, Judas Ifcariot, 
Simon's son, which ihould betray him, 

; 5 Why was not this ointment fold for three hun- 
dred pence, and given to the poor ? 

6 This he laid, not that he cared for the poor ; but 
becaufe he was a thief, and *had the bag, and bare a cha P .i 3 ^

7 Then faid Jefus, Let her alone : againft the day 
cf my burying hath ihe kept this. 

8 For the poor always ye have with you ; but me 
ye have not always. 

9 If Much people of the Jews, therefore, knew that 
he was there ; and they came, not for Jefus' fake only, 
but that they might fee Lazarus alfo, whom he had 
raifed from the dead. 

10 But the chief priefts confulted that they might 
put Lazarus alfo to death ; 

11 Becaufe that by reafon of him many of the 
Jews went away, and believed on Jefus. 

12 If b On the next day, much people that were 
come to the feaft, when they heard that Jefus was 
coming to Jerufalem, 

13 Took branches of palm trees, and went forth 
to meet him, and cried, Hofanna : Bieffed is the King 
of Ifrael that cometh in the name of the Lord. 

14 And Jefus, when he had found a young afs, fat 
thereon 1 as it is written, 

15 c Fear not, daughter of Sion : behold, thy King 
cometh, fitting on an afs's colt. 

16 Thefe things underftood not his difciples at the 
firft : but when Jefus was glorified, then remembered 
they that thefe things were written of him , and that 
they had done thefe things unto him. 

17 The people, therefore, that was with Mm when 
he called Lazarus out of his grave, and raifed him 
from the dead, bare record. 

18 For this caufe the people alfo met him, for that 
they heard that he had done this miracle. 

19 The Pharifees, dierefore, faid amiongthemfelves, 
Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing ? behold, the 
world is gone after him. 

20 If And there were certain Greeks among them, 
diat came up to worfhip at the feaft : 

21 The fame came, therefore, to Philip, which was 
of Bethfaida of Galilee, and defired him, faying, Sir, 
we would fee Jefus. 

22 Philip cometh and telleth Andrew ; and again, 
Andrew and Philip tell Jefus. 

23 U And Jefus anfwered them, faying, The hour 
is come, that the Son of man fhould be glorified. 

24 Verily, verily, I fay unto you. Except a corn of 
wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone : 
but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. 

25 d He that Ioveth his life, fhall lofe it ; and he 
that hateth his life in this world, fhall keep it unto 
life eternal. 

26 If any man ferve me, let him follow me ; and 
where I am, there fhall alfo my fervant be ; if any man 
ferve me, him will my Father honour. 

27 Now is my foul troubled ; and what fhall I fay ? 
Father, fave me from this hour : but for this caufe 
came I unto diis hour. 

28 Father, glorify thy name. Then came there 
a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, 
and will glorify it again. 

29 The people, therefore, that ftood by, and heard 
it, faid that it thundered : others faid, An angel fpake 
to him. 

30 Jefus anfwered, and faid, This voice came not 
becaufe of me, but for your fakes. 

31 Now is the judgment of this world : now fhall 
the prince of this world be caft out. 

32 And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw 
all men unto me,.

fayeftthou, The Son of man mull be lifted up ? Who

35 Then Jefus laid unto them, Yet a litde while is

darknefs come upon you : for he that walketh in 
darknefs, knoweth not whither he goeth. 

36 "While ye have light, believe in the_ light, that

Jefus, and departed, and did hide himfelf from them.

before them, yet they believed not on him ; 

38 That the faying of Efaias the prophet might be 
fulfilled, which he fpake, f Lord r who hath believed

been revealed ? 

39 Therefore they could not believe, becaufe that

believed on him ; but becaufe of the Pharifees, they 
did not confefs him, left they U10uld.be put out of the 
fynagogue : 

43 h For they loved the praife of men more than ^ a ^ 
thepraife of God. 

44 If Jefus cried and faid, He that believeth on me, 
believeth not on me, but on him that lent me. 

45 And he that feeth me, feeth him that fentme.. 

46 i I am come a light into the world,, that whofo- \f^

4 He rifeth from flipper, and kid afide his garments ; 
and took a towel, and girded hirofelf. 

5 After that, he poureth water into a bafon, and be- 
gan to wafh the difciples' feet, and to wipe them with 
the towel wherewith he was girded. 

6 Then cometh he to Simon Peter : and Peter faid 
unto him, Lord, doft thou wafli my feet ? 

7 Jei'us anfwered, and faid unto him, What I do, 
thou knoweft not now ; but thou fhalt know hereafter. 

8 Peter faith unto him, Thou fhalt never walh my 
feet. Jei'us anfwered him, If I wafh thee not, thou 
halt no part with me. 

9 Simon Peter faith unto him, Lord, not my feet 
only, but alio my hands and my head. 

10 Jefus faith to 'him, He that is warned, needeth 
not, fave to. wafh. his feet, but is clean every whit : and 
ye are clean, but not all 

11 For he knew who fhould betray him ; therefore 
faid he, Ye are not all. clean. 

_ 12 So after he had warned their feet, and had taken 
his garments, and was fet down again, he faid unto 
them, Know ye what I have done to you ? 

13 Ye call me Mailer and Lord : and ye fay well ; 
for so I am. 

14 If T then, your Lord and Mailer, have wafhed 
your feet, ye alfo ought to wafh one another's feet. 

15 for I have given you ;yi example, that ye ihould 
do as I have done to you, <rU 

16 b Verily, verily, I fay unto you, The fervant is 
not greater than his lord : neither he that is fent, 
greater than he that fent him. 

17 If ye know thefe things, happy are ye if ye do them. 

18 H I fpea'k not of you all ; I know whom I have 
chofen : but that the fcripture may be fuIfilJed, c He 
that eateth bread with me hath lifted up his heel againfl

19 || Now 1 tell you before it come, that, when it is 
come to pafs, ye may believe that I am he . 

20 d Verily, verily, I fay unto you, He that receiv- 
eth whomfoever I fendi, receiveth me ; and he that 
receiveth me, receiveth him that fent me. 

21 e When_ Jefus had thus faid, he was troubled in 
fpirit, and teftified, and faid, Verily, verily, I fay unto 
you, that one of you fhall betray me. 

22 Then the difciples looked one on another, doubt- 
ing of whom he fpake, 

23 Now there was leaning on Jefus' bofom one of 
his difciples, whom Jefus loved. 

24 Simon Peter, therefore, beckoned to him, that 
he'fhould afk who it ihould be of whom he fpake. 

28 He then, lying on Jefus' breafl, faith unto him, 
l^ud, who is it ? 

,; 26 Jefus anfwered, He it is to whom I fhall give a 
11 fop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped 
the fop, he gave it to Judas Ifcariot, the son of Simon. 

27 And after the fop, Satan entered into him. Then 
faid Jefus unto him, That thou doeft, do quickly. 

28 Now no man at the table knew for what intent 
he fpake this unto him. 

29 For fome of them thought, becaufe Judas had the 
bag, that Jefus had faid unto him, Buy those things 
that we have need of againfl the feaft ; or, that he 
Ihould give fomething to the poor. 

30 He then, having received the fop, went imme- 
diately out ; and it was nl°i.'t. 

31 H Therefore, when ae was gone out, Jefus faid,

He promisdh his disciples power ', &c. 
, and God is glori- 



Now is the Son of man glorified

< 32 If God be glorified in him, God fhall alfo giorify

37 Peter faid unto him, Lord, why cannot I follow 
thee now .? I will h lay down my life for thy fake. 

38 Jefus anfwered him, Wilt thou lay down thy life

1 Under the parable of a vine Christ setteth forth 
God' 's government of his church: 12 he commanded) 
his disciples to love one another : heforewarneth them 
of the hatred and persecution of the world : 26 he 
sheweth the testimony which the Holy Ghost, and 
they also should bear to him. 

I AM the true vine, and my Father is the huiband-

another, as I have loved you. 

13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man 
lay down his life for his friends. - 

14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatfoever I com- 
mand you, 

15 Henceforth I call you not fervants ; for the fer- 
vant knoweth not what his lord doeth : but I have 
called you friends ; for ail things that L have heard of 
my Father, I have made known unto you, 

16 Ye have not chofen me, but I have chofen you, 

and d ordained you, that ye mould go and bring forth H x ^ 
fruit, and that your fruit ihould remain ; that whatfo- 
ever ye fhall afk of the Father in my name, he may 
give it you. 

17 Thefe things I command you, that ye love one 
another. 

18 H If the world hate you, ye know that it hated 
me before it hated you. 

19 If ye were of the world, the world would love 
his own: but becaufe ye are not of the world, but I 
have chofen you out of the world, therefore the world 
hateth you, 

20 Remember the word that I faid unto you, e The e ^ atth ' 
fervant is not greater than his lord. If they have per- cha,t 
fecuted me, they will alfo perfecute 5 r ou : if they have ' 3 16 " 
kept my faying, they will keep your 's alfo. 

21 But all thefe things will they do unto you for 
my name's fake, becaufe they know not him that fent 
me. 

22 If I had not come and fpoken unto them, they 
had not had fin : but now they have no || cloak for 
their fin, 

23 He that hateth me,, hateth my Father alfo. 

24 If I had not done among them the works which 
none other man did,, they had not had lin : but now 1 
have they both feen and hated both me and my Fatncr. 

25 But this cometh to pass, that the word might lie 
fulfilled that is written in their law, f They hated me 
without a caufe. 

26 M s But when the Comforter is come, whom I ***** 
will fend unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of ch»& 
truth, which proceeded! from the Father, he ihall ' 4 ~ 6 ' 
teftify of me : 

27 And ye alfo fhall bear witnefs, becaufe ye have 
been with me from the beginning.

him; he promiseth them peace in him amidst their 
tribulation in the world. 

THESE things have I fpoken unto you, that ye 
fhould not be offended. 

2 They ihall put you out of the fynagogues ; yea, 
the time eometh, that whofoever kiileth you, will 
think that he doeth God fervice. 

3 And thefe tilings wiil^they do unto you, becaufe 
they have not known the Father, nor me. 

4 But thefe things have I told you, 'that, when the 
lime ihall come, ye may remember that I told you of 
them. And thefe things I faid not unto you at the 
beginning, becaufe I was with you. 

5 If But now I go my way to him that fent me ; and 
none of you afketh me, Whither goeft thou ? 

6 But becaufe I have faid thefe things unto you, 
forrow hath filled your heart. 

7 Nevertheless, I tell you the truth ; It is expedient 
for you that I go away : for if I go not away, the 
Comforter will not come unto you ; but if I depart, 
I will fend him unto you. - 

8 And, when he is come, he will !| reprove the 
world ofiin, and of righteoufnefs, and of judgment : 

9 Of fin ; becaufe they believe not on me : 

10 Of righteoufnefs ; becaufe I go to my Father, 
and ye fee me no more ; 

11 Of judgment ; becaufe the prince of this world 
is judged. 

12 I have yet many things to fay unto,you, but ye 
cannot bear them now. 

13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, 
he will guide you into all truth : for he fhall not fpeak 
ofhimfelf; but whatfoever he fhall hear, that fhall he 
fpeak : and he will fhew you things to come. 

14 He ihall glorify me : for he fhall receive of mine, 
and fhall fhew it unto you. 

15 All things that the Father hath are mine : there- 
fore faid I, that he fhall take of mine, and fhall fhew 
zVunto you. 

16 If A little while, and ye fhall not fee me ; and 
again, a little while, and ye fhall fee me ; becaufe I go 
to the Father. 

17 Then faid some of his difciples among themfelves, 
What is this that he faith unto us, A little while, and 
ye fhall not fee me ; and again, a little while, and ye 
fhall fee me : and, becaufe I go to the Father ? 

18 They faid, therefore, what is this that he faith, 
A little while ? we cannot tell what he faith. 

19 Now Jefus knew that they were deiirous to afk 
him } and faid unto them, Do ye inquire among your- 
felves of that I faid, A little while, and ye fhall not fee 
me ; and again, A little while, and ye ihall fee me ? 

20 Verily, verily, Ifay unto you, That ye fhall weep 
and lament, but the world fhall rejoice : and ye fhall 
be forrowful, but your forrow fhall be turned into joy. 

21 A woman when fhe is in travail hath forrow 
becaufe her hour is come : but as foon as fhe is de- 
livered of the child, fhe remembereth no more the 
anguxfh, for joy that a man is born into the world. 

22 And ye now, therefore, have forrow : but I will 
fee you again, and your heart ihall rejoice, and your 
joy no man taketh from you. 

23 And in that day ye fhall afk me nothing. a Verily, 
verily, I fay unto you, Whatfoever ye fhall afk the

26 At that day ye fhall afk in my name ; and I fay

have loved me, and have believed that I came out 
from God. 

28 I came forth from the Father, and am come in- 
to the world ; again, I leave the world, and go to the 
Father. 

29 If His difciples faid unto him, Lo, now fpeakeft 
thou plainly, and fpeakeft no || proverb. 

30 Now are we fure that thou knowefl all things, 
and needefl not that any man fhould afk thee t by this 
we believe tiiat thou cameft forth from God.

1 Christ pray eth to his Father to glorify him ; 6 to 
preserve his apostles in unity of faith, 15 and from 
all evil ; 20 and for the perfect union of all believers, 
and their admission to a share of his glory in heaven. 

THESE words fpake Jefus, and lifted up his eyes 
to heaven, and faid, Father, the hour is come : 
glorify thy Son, thai thy Son alfo may glorify thee : 

2 a As thou haft given him power over all flefh, "g"!!*'' 
that he fhould give eternal life to as many as thou haft 
given him. 

3 And this is life eternal, that they might know thee 
the only true God, and Jefus Chrift, whom thou haft 
fent. 

4 I have glorified thee on the earth : I have finifhed 
the work which thou gaveft me to do. 

5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine 
own felf, with the glory which I had with thee before 
the world was. 

6 II I have manifefted thy name unto the men which 
thou gaveft me out of the world : thine they were, and 
thou gaveft them me ; and they have kept thy word. 

7 Now they have known that all things whatfoever 
thou haft given me are of thee : 

8 For I have given unto them the words which thou 
gaveft me ; and they have received them, b and have *c£* 
known furely that I came out from thee, and they have 
believed that thou didft fend me. 

9 I pray for them : I pray not for the world, but for 
them which thou haft given me ; for they are thine. 

10 And all mine are thine, and thine are mine ; and 
I am glorified in them. 

1 1 And now I am no more in the world, but thefe 
are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, 
keep through thine own name thofe whom thou haft 
given me, that they may be one, as we are.

filled in themfclves. 

14 I have given them thy word ; and the world 
hath hated them, becaufe they are not of the world, 
even as I am not of the world. 

15 H I pray not that thou fhouldeft take them out 
of the world, but that thou fhouldeft keep them from 
the evil. 

'16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of 
the world. 

17 If Sandify them through thy truth : thy word 
is truth.

have I alfo fent them into the world. 

19 And for their fakes I fanclify myfelf, that they 
alfo might be j| fanclified through the truth. 

20 If Neither pray I for thefe alone, but for them 
alfo which {hall believe on me through their word ; 

21 That they all may be one ; as thou, Father, art 
in me, and I in thee, that they alfo may be one in us ; 
that the world may believe that thou haft fent me. _ 

22 And the glory which thou gaveft me I have given 
them ; that they may be one, even as we are one ; 

23 I in them, and thou in me, that they maybe 
made perfect in one : and that the world may know 
that thou haft fent me, and haft loved them, as thou 
haft loved me. 

24 d Father, I will that they alfo whom thou haft 
given me be with me where I am : that they may be- 
hold my glory, which thou haft given me : for thou 
lovedft me before the foundation of the world. 

25 O righteous Father, the world hath not known 
thee : but I have known thee, and thefe have known 
that thou haft fent me. 

26 And I have declared unto them thy name, and 
will declare it ; that the love wherewith thou haft 
loved me, may be in them, and I in them.

1 Judas betray cth Jesus ; the band of men fall to the

Jesus is taken and led unto Annas and Caiaphas. 15 
Peter's denial. 19 Jesus examined before Caia- 
phas : 28 his arraignment before Pilate ; the Jews 
prefer Barabbas. 

WHEN Jefus had fpoken thefe words, * he went 
forth with his difciples over the brook Cedron, 
where was a garden, into the which he entered, and 
his difciples. 

2 And Judas alfo, which betrayed him, knew the 
place: for Jefus oft times reforted thither with his 
difciples. 

3 b Judas then, having received a bando/" menzvA 
officers from the chief priefts and Pharifees, cometh 
thither with lanterns, and torches, and weapons. 

4 Jefus, therefore, knowing all things that ihould 
come upon him, went forth, and faid unto them, 
Whom feek ye ? 

5 They anfwered him, Jefus of Nazareth, Jefus 
faith unto them, I am he. And Judas alfo, which be- 
trayed him f ftood with them.

therefore, ye feek me, let thefe go their way ; 

9 That the faying might be fulfilled, which he 
fpake, c Of them which thou gaveft me, have I loft 
none. 

10 II Then Simon Peter having a fword, drew it, 
and i'mote the high prieft's fervant, and cut off his 
right ear. The iervant's name was Malchus. 

1 1 Then laid Jefus unto Peter, Put up thy fword 
into the iheath : the cup which my Father hath given 
me, mall I not drink it ? 

12 If Then the band, and the captain and officers 
of the Jews, took Jefus, and bound him, 

13 And led him away to Annas firft : (for he was 
father in law to Caiaphas, which was the high prieft 
that fame year. ||) 

14 d Now Caiaphas was he which gave counfel to „ 
the Jews that it was expedient that one man fhould j^"M|"? 
die for the people. thl%Jh 

15 If e And Simon Peter followed Jefus, and so did v«Je 2V 
another difciple. That difciple was known unto the t°£ Pm 
high prieft, and went in with Jefus into the palace of 2 e 6 ^ ul,> 
the high prieft. 

16 But Peter ftood at the door without. Then 
went out that other difciple, which was known unto 
the high prieft, and fpake unto her that kept the door, 
and brought in Peter. 

17 Then faith the damfel that kept the door unto 
Peter, Art not thou alfo one of this man's difciples ? 
He faith, I am not. 

18 And the fervants and officers flood there, who 
had made a fire of coals, (for it was cold,) and they 
warmed themfelves : and Peter ftood with them, and 
warmed himfelf. 

19 If The high prieft then afked Jefus of his difci- 
ples, and of his doctrine. 

20 Jefus anfwered him, I fpake openly to the 
world : I ever taught in the fynagogue, and in the 
temple, whither the Jews always retort ; and in fecret 
have I faid nothing. 

21 Whyafkeft thou me? afk them which heard me 
what I have laid unto them : behold, thev know what 
I laid. 

22 And, when he had thus fpoken, one of the officers 
which ftood by, ftruck Jefus || with the palm of his 
hand, faying, Anfwereft thou the high prieft fo ? 

23 Jefus anfwered him, If I have fpoken evil, bear 
witnefs of the evil ; but if well, why fmiteft thou me ? 

24 ( f Noav Annas had fent him bound unto Caia- 
phas the high prieft.) 

25 If And Simon Peter flood and warmed himfelf: 

c they faid, therefore, unto him, Art not thou alio one k Matt*. 
of his difciples ? He denied /'/, and faid, I am not. 

26 One of the fervants of the high prieft (being bis 
kinfman whole ear Peter cut oft) faith, Did not I fee

27 Peter then denied again ; and immediately the 
cock crew.

30 They anfwered, and faid unto him, If he were 
not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him 
up unto thee. 

_ 31 Then faid Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and 
judge-him according to your law. The Jews, there- 
fore, faid unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any 
man to death : 

32 k That the faying of Jefus might be fulfilled, 
which he fpake, fignifying what death he fhculd die. 

33 l Then Pilate entered into the judgment hall 
again, and called Jefus, and faid unto him, Art thou 
the king of the Jews ? 

34 Jefus anfwered him, Sayeft thou this thing of 
thyfelf, or did others tell it thee of me ? 

35 Pilate anfwered, Am I a Jew ? Thine own na- 
tion and the chief priefts have delivered thee unto me. 
What haft thou done ? 

36 Jefus anfwered, My kingdom is not of this world. 
It my kingdom were of this world, then would my 
fervants fight, that I fhould not be delivered to the 
Jews : but now is my kingdom not from hence. 

37 Pilate, therefore, faid unto him, Art thou a king 
then ? Jefus anfwered, Thou fayeft that I am a king. 
To this end was I born, and for this caufe came I into 
the world, that I fhould bear witnefs unto the truth. 
Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice. 

38 Pilate faith unto him, What is truth ? And when 
he had faid this, he went out again unto the Jews, 
and faith unto them, I find in him no fault at all. 

39 m But ye have a cuftom that I fhould releafe un- 
to you one at the paffover : will ye, therefore, that I 
releafe unto you the king of the Jews? 

40 n Then cried they all again, faying, Not this 
man, but Barabbas. Now Barabbas was a robber. 

CHAP. XIX. 

1 Jesus is scourged, crowned with thorns, mocked, and 
buffeted. 4 Pilate declareth his imweence, 8 and, on 
further examination, is more desirous to release him; 
but being overcome with the clamours of the Jews, he 
deliver eth him to be crucified: 17 he is crucified: 19 
the inscriptio?i on his cross : 23 the soldiers cast lots 
for his garments : 25 he commendeth his mother to 
John : 28 he givethup the ghost ; 31 his side pierc- 
ed. 38 Joseph and Nicodemus bury him. 

THEN a Pilate, therefore, took Jefus, and fcourged 
him. 

2 And the foldiers platted a crown of thorns, and 
put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, 

3 And faid, Hail, king of the Jews ! and they fmote 
him with their hands. 

4 IF Pilate, therefore, went forth again, and faith 
unto them, Behold, I bring him forth to you, that ye 
may know that I find no fault in him. 

5 Then came Jefus forth, wearing the crown of 
thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate faith unto 
them, Behold the man ! 

6 When the chief priefts, therefore, and officers faw 
him, they cried out, faying, Crucify him, crucify him. 
Pilate faith unto them, Take ye him, and crucify him : 
for I find no fault in him. 

7 The Jews anfwered him, We have a law, and by 
our law he ought to die, becaufe he made himfelfthe 
Son of God. 

8 If When Pilate, therefore, heard that faying, he 
was the more afraid ; 

2 



b Matth. 
27 3'« 



H N. Christ commendeth his mother to John. 

9 And went again into the judgment hall, and faith 
unto Jefus, Whence art thou ? But Jefus gave him no 
anfwer. 

10 Then faith Pilate unto him, Speakeft thou not 
unto me ? knoweft thou not that I have power to 
crucify thee, and have power to releafe thee ? 

1 1 Jefus anfwered, Thou couldeft have no power 
at tf//againft me, except it were given thee from above : 
therefore he that delivered me unto thee hath the 
greater fin. 

m 12 And from thenceforth Pilate fought to releafe 
him : but the Jews cried out, faying, If thou let this 
man go, thou art not Cefar's friend : whofoever mak- 
eth himfelf a king, fpeaketh againft Cefar. 

13 When Pilate, therefore, heard that faying, he 
brought Jefus forth, and fat down in the judgment 
feat, in a place that is called the Pavement, but in the 
Hebrew, Gabbatha. 

14 And it was the preparation of the paffover, and 
about the fixth hour : and he faith unto the Jews, 
Behold your king ! 

15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with 
him, crucify him. Pilate faith unto them, Shall I cru- 
cify your king ? The chief priefts anfwered, We have 
no king but Cefar. 

16 b Then delivered he him, therefore, unto them to 
be crucified. And they took Jefus, and led him away. 

17 If And he, bearing his crofs^ went forth into a 
place called the place of a fcull, which is called in the 
Hebrew, Golgotha ; 

_ 18 Where they crucified him, and two others with 
him, on either fide one, and Jefus in the midft. 

19 IT And Pilate wrote a title, and put it on the crofs. 
And the writing was, JESUS OF NAZARETH, 
THE KING OF THE JEWS. 

20 This title then read many of the Jews : for the 
place where Jefus was crucified was nigh to the city : 
and it was written in Hebrew, and Greek, and Latin. 

21 Then faid the chief priefts of the Jews to Pilate, 
Write not, The king of the Jews ; but that he faid, I 
am king of the Jews. 

22 Pilate anfwered, What I have written, I have 
written. ' 

23 If c Then the foldiers, when they had crucified 
Jefus, took his garments, and made four parts, to 
every foldier a part, and alfo his coat : now the coat 
was without feam, || woven from the top throughout. 

24 They faid, therefore, among themfelves, Let us W9U t htt 
not rend it, but caft lots for it, whofe it fhall be : that 
the fcripture might be fulfilled, which faith, d They 
parted my raiment among them, and for my vefture 
they did caft lots. . Thefe things, therefore, the fol- 
diers did. 

25 If Now there flood by the crofs of Jefus, his 
mother, and his mother's fifter, Mary the wife of 
|| Cleopas, and Mary Magdalene. 

26 When Jefus, therefore, faw his mother, and the 
difciple Handing by, whom he loved, he faith unto his 
mother, Woman, behold thy fon ! 

27 Then faith he to the difciple, Behold thy mother ! 
And from that hour that difciple took her unto Jbis 
own home. 

28 If After this, Jefus, knowing that all things were 
now accompliihed, £ that the fcripture might be ful- 
filled, laith, I thirft. 

29 Now there wasfet a veffel full of vinegar : and

they filled a fponge with vinegar, and put it upon 
hyffop, and put it to his mouth. 

30 When Jefus, therefore, had received the vinegar, 
he faid, It is finiihed : and he bowed his head, and 
gave up the ghoft. 

3 1 If The Jews, therefore, becaufe it was the prep- 
aration, that the bodies fhould not remain upon the 
crofs on the fabbath day, (for that fabbath day was 
an high day,) befought Pilate that their legs might be 
broken, and that they might be taken away. 

32 Then came the foldiers, and brake the legs of 
the firft, and of the other which was crucified with him- 

33 But when they came to Jefus ? and faw that he 
was dead already, they brake not his legs : _ 

34 But one of the foldiers with a fpear pierced his 
fide, and forthwith came thereout blood and water. 

35 And he that faw it, bare record, and his record 
is true ; and he knoweth that he faith true, that ye 
might believe. 

36 For thefe things were done, f that the fcripture 
fhould be fulfilled, A bone of him fhall not be broken. 

37 And again, another fcripture faith, s They fhall 
look on him whom they pierced. 

38 If h And after this, Jofeph of Arimathea (being 
a difciple of Jefus, but fecretly for fear of the Jews) 
befought Pilate that he might take away the body of 
Jefus : and Pilate gave him leave. He came, there- 
fore, and took the body of Jefus. 

39 And there came alfo Nicodemus, (which at the 
firft came to Jefus by night,) and brought a mixture 
of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight. 

40 Then took they the body of Jefus, and wound 
it in linen clothes, with the fpices, as the manner of 
the Jews is to bury. 

41 Now, in the place where he was crucified, there 
was a garden ; and in the garden a new fepulchre, 
wherein was never man yet laid. 

42 There laid they Jefus, therefore, becaufe of the 
Jews' preparation day : for the fepulchre was nigh at 
hand.

fepulchre, and feeth the ftone taken away from the 
fepulchre. 

2 Then fhe runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, 
and to the b other difciple whom Jefus loved, and 
faith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out 
of the fepulchre, and we know not where they have 
laid him. 

3 Peter, therefore, went forth, and that other difci- 
ple, and came to the fepulchre. 

4 So they ran both together, and the other difciple 
did outrun Peter, and came firft to the fepulchre. 

5 And he, {looping down, and looking in, faw the 
linen clothes lying ; yet went he not in. 

6 Then cometh Simon Peter Tollowing him, and 
went into the fepulchre, and feeth the linen clothes lie ; 

7 And the napkin that was about his head, not 
lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in 
a place by itfelf. 



8 Then went in alfo that other difciple, which came 
firft to the fepulchre, and he faw and believed. , 

9 For as yet they knew not the fcripture, that he 
muft rife again from the dead. 

10 Then the difciples went away again unto their 
own home. 

11 If But Mary flood without at the fepulchre 
weeping : and, as fhe wept, fhe ftooped down, and 
looked into the fepulchre, 

12 And feeth two angels in white, fitting, the one 
at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body 
of Jefus had lain. 

13 And they fay unto her, Woman, why weepeft 
thou? She faith unto them, Becaufe they have taken 
away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid 
him. 

14 And when fhe had thus faid, fhe turned herfelf 
back, and faw Jefus ftanding, and knew not that it was 
Jefus. 

15 Jefus faith unto her, Woman, why weepeft thou ? 
whom feekeft thou ? She, fuppofmg him to be the gar- 
dener, faith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him 
hence, tell me where thou haft laid him, and I will 
take him away. 

16 Jefus faith unto her,. Mary, She turned herfelf, 
and faith unto him, Rabboni ; which is to fay, Mafter. 

17 Jefus faith unto her, Touch me not ; for I am 
not yet afcended to my Father : but go to my breth- 
ren, and fay unto them, I afcend unto my Father, and 
your Father, and to my God, and your God. 

18 Mary Magdalene came and told the difciples 
that flie^ had feen the Lord) and that he had lpoken 
thefe things unto her. 

19 If c Then the fame day at evening, being the firft 
day of the week, when the doors were fhut where the 
diiciples were affembled for fear of the Jews, came 
Jefus, and flood in the midft, and faith unto them, 
Peace be unto you. 

20 And when he had fo faid, he fhewed unto them 
his hands and his fide. Then were the difciples glad 
when they faw the Lord. 

21 Then faid Jefus to them again, Peace be unto 
you : as my F.ither hath fent me, even fo fend I you. 

22 And when he had faid this, he breathed on them, 
and faith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghoft : 

23 d Whole foever (ins ye remit, they are remitted 
unto them ; and whole foever sins ye retain, they are 
retained. 

24 If But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didy- 
mus, was not with them when Jefus came. 

25 The other difeiplcs, therefore, faid unto him, 
We have feen the Lord. But he faid unto them, 
Except I fhall fee in his hands the print of the nails, 
and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thruft 
my hand into his fide, I will not believe. 

26 If And after eight days, again his difciples were 
within, and Thomas with them : then came Jefus, the 
doors being fhut, and flood in the midft, and laid, 
Peace be unto you. 

27 Then faith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy 
finger, and behold my hands ; and reach hither thy 
hand, and thruft it into my fide : and be not faithlefs, 
but believing. 

28 And Thomas anfwered, and faid unto him, My 
Lord, and my God.

prefence of his difciples, which are not written in this 
book : 

31 But thefe are written, that ye might believe that 
Jefus is the Chrift, the Son of God ; and that believ-

CHAP. XXL 
1 Christ appeareth to his disciples at the- sea of Tibe- 
rias, and maketh himself /mown by a great draught 
of fishes : 12 he eateth xvith them ; he thrice repcat- 
eth his charge to Peter; 18 foretelleth him of his 
death, 22 and rebuke th his curiosity concerning 
John. 24 The conclusion. 

AFTER thefe things Jefus fhewed himfelf again to 
the difciples at the fea of Tiberias ; and on this 
wife fhewed he himself. 

2 There were together Simon Peter, and Thomas 
called Didymus, and Nathaniel of Cana in Galilee, 
and the sons of Zebedee, and two other of his difciples. 

3 Simon Peter faith unto them, I go afifhing. They 
fay unto him, We alfo go with thee. They went 
forth, and entered into a fhip immediately ; and that 
night they caught nothing. 

4 But, when the morning was now come, Jefus 
ftood on the fhore : but the difciples knew not that it 
was Jefus. 

5 Then Jefus faith unto them, || Children, have ye 
any meat I They anfwered him, No. 

6 And he faid unto them, Caft the net on the right 
fide of the fhip, and ye fhall find. They caft there- 
fore, and now they were not able to draw it for the 
multitude of fiih.es. 

7 Therefore that difciple whom Jefus loved faith 
unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now, when Simon Peter 
heard that it Avas the Lord, he girt /fe fifher's coat 
unto him, (for he was naked,) and did caft himfelf 
into the fea. 

8 And the other difciples came in a little fhip, (for 
they were not far from land, but as it were two hun- 
dred cubits,) dragging the net with fillies. 

9 As foon then as they were come to land, they 
law a fire of coals there, and fifh laid thereon, and 
bread. 

10 Jefus faith unto them, Bring of the fifli which 
ye have now caught. 

11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land 
full of great fillies, an hundred and fifty and three ; 
and for all there were fo many, yet was not the net 
broken. 



S. J O H N. His charge to Peten. 

12 H Jefus faith unto them, Come and dine. And 



none of the difciples durftafk him, Who art thou ?' 
knowing that it was the Lord. 

13 Jefus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth 
them., and filh likewife. 

14 This is now the third time that Jefus fhewed 
himfelf to his difciplea after that he was rifen from 
the dead. 

15 IF So, when they had dined, Jefus faith to Simon 
Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, Ioveit thou 'me more than 
thefe . ? He faith unto him, Yea, Lord % thou know- 
eft that I love thee. He faith unto him, Feed my 
lambs. 

16 He faith to him again the fecond time* Simon, 
son of Jonas, loveft thou me ? He faith unto him, 
Yea, Lord ; thou knoweft that I love thee.. He faith 
unto him, Feed my fheep. 

17 He faith unto him the third time, Simon, son 
of Jonas, loveft thou me ? Peter was grieved becaufe 
he faid unto him the third time, Loveft thou me I 
And he laid unto him, Lord, thou knoweft all things ;.. 
thou knoweft that I love thee., Jefus faith unto him, 
Feed my fheep. 

18 Verily, verily, I fay unto thee, When thou waft 
young, thou girdedft thyfelf, and walkedft whither 
thou wouldeft : but when thou fhalt be old,, thou fhalt 
ftretch forth thy hands, and another fhall gird thee, 
and carry thee whither thou wouldeft not.. 

19 This fpake he, fignifying by what death he 
fliould glorify God. And when lie had fpoken this, 
he faith unto him, Follow me. 

20 Then Peter, turning about, jTeeth the difciple 
a whom Jefus loved following ; which alfo leaned on 
his breaft at fupper, and faid, Lord, which is he that 
betrayeth thee I 

21 Peter feeing him, faith to Jefus, Lord, and what 
shall this man do ? 

22 Jefus faith unto him, If I will that he tarry till 
I come, what is that to thee ? follow tiiou me. 

23 Then went this faying abroad among the breth- 
ren, that that difciple fhould not die : yet Jefus faid 
not unto him, He fhall not die ; but, If I will that he 
tarry till I come, what is that to thee ? 

24 This is the difciple which teftifieth of thefe 
things, and wrote thefe things : and we know that 
his teftimony is true. 

25 b And there are alfo many other things which !j o ch o 3 * 
Jefus did, the which, if they ihould be written every 
one, I fuppofe that even the world itfelf could not 
contain the books that fliould be written. Amen.

C H A P. I. 

I Christ after his resurrection, having giveninstructions 
to his apostles, and commanded them to wait in Jeru- 
salem the coming of the Holy Ghost, which he prom- 
iseth after a few days, ascendeth into heaven in their 
sight. 10 After his ascension, they are warned by 
two angels to depart, a?ul to look for his second com- 
ing : 12 they return and give themselves unto pray- 
er. 1 5. Peter exhorting to fill up the place of Judas, 
Matthias is chosen by lot to be an apostle. 

THE former treatife have I made, O- Theophilus, 
of all that Jefus began both to do and teach, 

2 Until the day in which he was taken up, after 
that he through the Holy Ghoft had given command- 
ments unto the apoftles whom he had chofen. 

3 To whom alio he fhewed himfelf alive after his 
paffion by many infallible proofs,, being feen of them 
forty days ,. and fpeaking of the things pertaining to 
the kingdom of God :. 

4 And, || being affembled together with them, 
commanded them that they fhould not depart from 
lerufalem, but wait for the promife of the Father, 
a which, saith he, ye have heard of me. 

5 h For John truly baptized with water; butyefliall 
be baptized with the Holy Ghoit not many days hence. 

6 When they, therefore, were come together, they 
afked of him, faying, Lord, wilt thou at this time 
reitore again the kingdom to Ifrael ? 

7 And he laid unto them. It is not for you to know 
the times or the feafons which the Father hath put in 
his own power :; 

8 c But ye fball receive || power, after that the Holy 
Gholl is come upon you : and ye ihall be witneffes 
unto me, both in Jerufalem and in all Judea, and in 
Samaria,, and unto the uttermoft part of the earth. 

9 d And, when he had fpoken thefe things, while 
they beheld, he was taken up ; and a cloud Veceived 
him out of their light. 

10 If And while they looked ftedfailly toward 
heaven, as he went up,, behold, two men flood by 
them in white apparel ; 

11 Whi^h alio laid, Ye men of Galilee, why Hand 
ye gazing up into heaven ? this fame Jefus, which is 
taken up from you into heaven, fhall fo come in like 
manner as ye have feen him go into heaven. 

12 If Then returned they unto Jerufalem from the 
mount called Olivet, which is from Jerufalem a fab- 
bath day's journey.. 

13 And when they were come in, they went up into 
an upper room, where abode both Peter, and James, 
and John, and Andrew, Philip, and Thomas, Bar- 
tholomew, and Matthew, James the son of Alpheus, 
and Simon Zelotes, and Judas the brother of James. 

14 Thefe all continued with one accord in prayer 
and Amplication with the women, and Mary the 
mother of Jefus, and with his brethren. 

15 If And in thofe days Peter itood up in the midft 
of the difciples, and faid", (the number of the names 
together were about an hundred and twenty,) 

16 Men and brethren, this fcripture mull needs 
have been fulfilled, e which the Holy Ghoft, by the 
mouth of David, fpake before concerning Judas, 
which was guide to them that took Jefus. 



17 For he was numbered with us, and had obtain- 
ed part of this miniitry. 

18 f Now ■this man purchased a field with the re- 
ward of iniquity ; and, falling headlong, he burftafun- 
der in the midft, and all his bowels guihed out. 

19 And it was known unto all the dwellers at Jeru- 
falem ; infomuch as that field is called in their proper 
tongue, Aceldama, that is to fay, The field of blood. 

20 For it is written in the book of Pfalms, g Let his 
habitation be defolate, and let no man dwell therein : 
and, h His || bilhoprick let another take. 

2.1 Wherefore, of thefe men which have companied 
with us. all the time that the Lord Jefus went in and 
out among us, 

22 Beginning; from the baptifm of John, unto that 
fame day that he was taken up from us, mull one be 
ordained, to be a witnefs with us of his refurre£lion. 

23; And they appointed two, Jofeph called Barfabas, 
who was furnamed Julius, and Matthias.. 

24 And they prayed, and faid, Thou, Lord, which 
knoweft.the hearts of all men, fiiew whether of thefe 
two thou hail chofen. 

25 That he may take part of this miniftry and 
apoftlefhip, from which Judas by tranfgreffion fell, 
that he might go to his own place. 

26 And they gave forth their lots : and the lot fell 
upon Matthias ;. and he was numbered with the eleven 
apoilles.. 

CHAP. II. 
L The. descent of the Holy Ghost upon the apostles; 
they speak divers languages to the general amaze- 
ment, but some deride them. 14 Peter sheweth that 
the inspiration spoken of by Joel was now. fulfilled >*- 
that Jesus was now risen from the dead, and ac- 
cording to David' 's predictions, ascended into hea- 
ven, and had shed forth the promise of the holy Spir- 
it, in full proof of his being the Messias. 37 A 
great number are converted by Peters preaching, 41 
who, being baptized, converse devoutly and charita- 
bly together, the apostles working many miracles, &c 
AND when the day of Pentecoll was fully come, 
they were all with one accord in one place. 

2 And fuddenly there came a found from heaven,., 
as of a ruining mighty wind, and it filled all the houfe 
where they were fitting.. 

3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues, 
like as of fire, and it fat upon each of them : 

4 And they were all filled with the Holy Ghoft, and. 
began to fpeak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave 
them utterance. 

5 And there were dwelling at Jerufalem Jews, de- 
vout men, out of every nation under heaven.. 

6 Now, f when this was noiied abroad, the multi- 
tude came together, and were || confounded, becaufe 
that every man heard them fpeak in his own language. 

7 And they were all amazed, and marvelled, fil- 
ing one to another, Behold,, are not all thefe which 
fpeak Galileans ? 

8 And how hear we every man in our own tongue, 
wherein we were born ?.

Jews and profelytes, 

11 Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them fpeak in 
our tongues the wonderful works of God. 

12 And they were all amazed, and were in doubt, 
faying one to another, What meaneth this ? 

13 Others mocking, faid, thefe men are full of new 
wine. 

14 H But Peter, {landing up with the eleven, lifted 
up his voice, and laid unto them, Ye men of Judea, 
and all ye that dwell at Jerufalem, be this known un- 
to you, and hearken to my words : 

15 For thefe are not drunken, as ye fuppofe, feeing 
it is but the third hour of the day. 

16 But this is that which was fpoken by the 
prophet Joel, 

17 a And it fhallcome to pafs in the lalt days, (faith 
God,) I will pour out of my Spirit upon all ftefh : and 
your fons and your daughters {hall prophefy, and your 
young men fhall fee viiions, and your old men ihall 
dream dreams : 

18 And on my fervants, and on my handmaidens, 
I will pour out in thofe days of my Spirit : and they 
fhall prophefy :_ 

19 b And I will fhew wonders in heaven above, and 
figns in the earth beneath, blood, and fire, and vapour 
of fmoke: 

20 The fun fhall be turned into darknefs, and the 
moon into blood, before that great and notable day of 
the Lord come : 

21 And it fhall come to pafs, that c whofoever fhall 
call on the name of the Lord fhall be faved. 

22 Ye men of Ifrael, hear thefe words : Jefusof 
Nazareth, a man approved of God among you, by 
miracles and wonders, and figns, which God did by 
him in the midft of you, as ye yourfelves alio 
know : 

23 Him, being delivered by the determinate coun- 
fel and foreknowledge of God, ye have taken, and by 
wicked hands have crucified and {lain ; 

24 Whom God hath raifed up, having loofed the 
pains of death ; becaufe it was not poffible that he 
lhould be holden of it. 

25 For David fpeaketh concerning him, d I forefaw 
the Lord always before my face : for he is on my right 
hand, that I mould not be moved : 

26 Therefore did my heait rejoice, and my tongue 
was glad : moreoveralfo, my flefh fhall reft in hope : 

27 Becaufe thou wilt not leave my foul in hell, nei- 
ther wilt thou fuffer thine holy One to fee corrup- 
tion. 

28 Thou haft made known to me the ways of life ; 
' thou {halt make me full of joy with thy countenance. 

29 Men and brethren, j| let me freely fpeak unto 
you c of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and 
buried,, and nis fepulchre is with us unto this day. 

30 Therefore being a prophet, f and knowing that 
God had fworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit 
of his loins, according to the fle{h, he would raife up 
Chrift to lit on his throne ; 

31 He, feeing this before, fpake of the refurreclion 
of Chrift, E that his foul was not left in hell, neither his 
flefh did fee corruption. 

32 This Jefus hath Godrajfed up, whereof we all 
arc witneffes.

33 Therefore, being by the right hand of God ex- 
alted, and having received of the Father the promife 
of the Holy Ghoft, he hath fhed forth this which ye v ^" 
now fee and hear. 

34_ For David is not afcended into the heavens : but 
he faith himfelf, h The Lord faid unto my Lord, Sit • il,s ™ 
thou on my right hand, II0 '" 

35 Until I make thy foes thy footftool. 

36 Therefore let all the houfe of Ifrael know affur- 
edly, that_ God hath made that fame Jefus, whom ye 
have crucified, both Lord and Chrift. 

37 If Now, when they heard this, they were prick- 
ed in their heart, and faid unto Peter, and to the reft 
of the apoftles, Men and brethren, what fhall we do ? 

38 Then Peter faid unto them, Repent, and be 
baptized every one of you in the name of Jefus Chrift 
for the remifnon of fins, and ye fhall receive the gift 
of the Holy Ghoft. _ 

39 For the promife is unto you, and to your chil- 
dren, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the 
Lord our God fhall call. 

40 And with many other words did he teftify and 
exhort 5> faying, Save yourfelves from this untoward 
generation. 

41 11 Then they that gladly received his word were 
baptized : and the fame day there were added unto 
them about three thoufand fouls. 

42 And they continued ftedfaftly in the apoftles' 
doclrine and fellowfhip, and in breaking of bread, 
and in prayers. 

43 And fear came upon every foul : and many 
wonders and figns were done by the apoftles. 

44 And all that believed were together, and had all 
things common, 

45 And fold their poffefiions and goods, and parted 
them to all men, as every man had need. 

46 And they, continuing daily with one accord in 

the temple, and breaking bread || from houfe to houfe, j}°* r# 
did eat their meat with gladnefs and finglenefs of" 
heart ; • 

47 Praifing God, and having favour with all the 
people. And the Lord added to the church daily fuch 
as fhould be fayed. 

CHAP. III. 

1 A lame man healed by Peter and John. 12 Peter 
declareth to the people that this cure was not wrought 
by any power or holiness in himself or John, but by 
the ppwer of God through faith in the 7iame of Jesus, 
whom they had ignorantly crucified, but whom God 
had raised from the dead accordingto the scriptures ; 
andexhorteth them by faith to seek remission of sins, 
and salvation in Jesus, whose coming had been spoken 
of by Moses and all the prophets. 

NOW Peter and John went up together into the 
temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour. 

2 And a certain man, lame from his mother's womb, 
was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the 
temple which is called Beautiful, to afk alms of them 
that entered into the temple ; 

3 Who feeing Peter and John about to go into the 
temple, afked an alms. \ 

4 And Peter, fattening his eyes upon him, with 
John, faid, Look on us.

6 Then Peter faid, Silver and gold have I none; 
but fuch as I have, give I thee : In the name of Jefus 
Chrift of Nazareth, rife up and walk. 

7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted 
him up : and immediately his feet and ancle bones 
received ftrength. 

8 And he, leaping up, flood, and walked, and enter- 
ed with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, 
and praifmg God. 

9 And all the people faw him walking and praifing 
God: 

10 And they knew that it was he which fat for alms 
at the beautiful gate of the temple ; and they were 
filled with wonder and amazement at that which had 
happened unto him. 

11 And, as the lame man which was healed, held 
Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them 
in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly won- 
dering. 

12 II And when Peter faw it, he anfwered unto the 
people, Ye men of Ifrael, why marvel ye at this ? or 
why look ye fo earneflly on us, as though by our own 
power or holinefs we had made this man to walk ? 

13 The God of Abraham, and of Ifaac, and of Jacob, 
the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jefus ; 
whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the prefence 
of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go. 

14 a But ye denied the Holy One, and the Juft, and 
defired a murderer to be granted unto you : 

15 And killed the || Prince of life, whom God hath 
raifed from the dead, whereof we are witneffes. 

16 And his name, through faith in his name, hath 
made this man flrong, whom ye fee and know ; yea, 
the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect 
foundnefs in the prefence of you all. 

17 And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance 
ye did it, as did alfo your rulers. 

18 But thofe things, which God before had fhewed 
by the mouth of all his prophets, that Chrift lhould 
fuffer, he hath fo fulfilled. 

19. Repent ye, therefore, and be converted, that 
yourfinsmay be blotted out, when the times of refrefh- 
ing (hall come from the prefence of the Lord ; 

20 And he fhall fend Jefus Chrift, which before was 
preached unto you : 

21 Whom the heaven muft receive until the times 
of reftitution of all things, which God hath fpoken by 
the mouth of all his holy prophets fince the world 
began. 

22 For Mofes truly faid unto the fathers, b A 
Prophet fhall the Lord your God raife up unto you 
of your brethren, like unto me ; him fhall ye hear in 
all things, whatfoever he fhall fay unto you. 

23 And it fhall come to pafs, that every foul which 
will not hear that Prophet, fhall be deftroyed from 
among the people. 

24 Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel, and thofe 
that follow after, as many as have fpoken, have like- 
wife foretold of thefe days. 

25 Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the 
covenant which God made with our fathers, faying 
unto Abraham, c And in thy feed fhall all the kindreds 
of the earth be blcfled. 

26 Unto you firft, God having raifed up his Son 
Jefus, fent him to blefs j r ou, in turning away every 
one of you from his iniquities.

that men can be saved by 110 other name. 13 The 
council struck with the boldness of the two apostles, 
after conferring together, dismiss themwith a threat- 
ening charge to speak no more in the name of Jesus. 
23 The church betaketh itself to prayer. 31 The 
presence of the Holy Ghost is signified by the house 
shaking, and the apostles thereby emboldened to speak 
the word. 32 Theunity andcharity of the church, &c. 

AN D, as they fpake unto the people, the priefts, 
and the || captain of the temple, and the Saddu- 
cees, came upon them, 

2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and 
preached through Jefus the refurreclion from the dead. 

3 And they laid hands on them, and put them in 
hold unto the next day : for it was now eventide. 

4 Howbeit, many of them which heard the word, 
believed ; and the number of the men was about five 
thoufand. 

5 11 And it came to pafs on the morrow, that their 
rulers, and elders, and fcribes, 

6 And Annas the high priefl, and Caiaphas, and 
John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the 
kindred of the high priefl, were gathered together at 
Jerufalem. 

7 And when they had fet them in the midfl, they afk- 
ed, By what power, or by what name, haveye done this? 

8 Then Peter, filled with the Holy Ghoft, faid unto 
them, Ye rulers of the people, and elders of Ifrael, 

9 If we this day be examined, of the good deed done 
to the impotent man, by what means he is made whole ; 

10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of 
Ifrael, that by the name of Jefus Chrift of Nazareth, 
whom ye crucified, whom God raifed from the dead, 
evenby him doth this man flancl here before you whole. 

11 a This is the flone which was fet at nought of M"'" 1 
you builders, which is become the head of the corner. 

12 Neither is there falvation in any other : for 
there is none other name under heaven given among 
men, whereby we mufl be faved. 

15 If Now, when they faw the boldnefs of Peter and 
John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ig- 
norant men, they marvelled ; and they took knowl- 
edge of them that they had been with Jefus. 

14 And beholding the man which was healed ftand- 
ing with them, they could fay nothing againft it. 

15 But when they had commanded them to go afide 
out of the council, "they conferred among themfelves, 

16 Saying, What i hail we do to thefe men ? for 
that indeed a notable miracle hath been done by them 
is manifcfl to all them that dwell in Jerufalem ; and 
we cannot deny it. 

17 But, that it fpread no farther among the people, 
let us flraitly threaten them, that they fpeak hence- 
forth to no man in this name. 

18 And they called them, and commanded them 
not to fpeak at all, nor teach in the name of Jefus. 

19 But Peter and John anfwered, and faid unto 
them", Whether it be right in the light of God, to 
hearken unto you more than unto God, judge ye. 

20 For we cannot but fpeuk the things which we 
have feen and heard. 

21 So, 



Matth. 
21 4'- 



e Psalm 2 i. 



The Holy Ghost cometh on the apostles : 

DOMrfti 2 1 So, when they had further threatened them j they 
let them go, finding nothing how they might puniih 
them becaufe of the people ; for all men glorified God 
for that which was done. 

22 For the man was above forty years old on whom 
this miracle of healing was i hewed. 

23 11 And, being let go, they went to their own 
company, and reported all that the chief priefts and 
elders had laid unto them. 

24 And, when they heard that, they lifted up their 
voice to God with one accord, and faid, Lord, thou 

'mrt God, which haft made heaven, and earth, and the 
iea, and all that in them is : 

25 Who by the mouth of thy fervant David haft 
faid, b Why did the heathen rage, and the people 
imagine vain things ? 

26 The kings of the earth flood up, and the rulers 
were gathered together againft the Lord, and againft 
his Chrift. 

27 For, of a truth, againft thy holy child Jefus, 
whom thou haft anointed, both Herod and Pontius 
-Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Ifrael, 
were gathered together, 

28 For to do whatfoever thy hand and thy counfel 
determined before to be done. 

29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and 
grant unto thy fervants, that with all boidneis they 
may fpeak thy word. 

30 By ilretching forth thine hand to heal ; and that 
figns and wonders may be done by the name of thy 
holy child Jefus. 

31 1 And, when they had pra3*ed, the place was 
fhaken where they were affembled together ; and 
they were all filled with the Holy Ghoft, and they 
ipake the word of God with boldnefs. 

32 If And the multitude of them that believed were 
of one heart, and of one foul : neither faid any of them 
that aught of the things which he poffeffed, was his 
own; but they had all things common. 

33 And with great power gave the apoftles witnefs 
of the refurreclionofthe Lord Jefus : and great grace 
was upon them alk 

34 Neither was there any among them that lacked : 
for as many as were poffeffors of lands or houfes, fold 
them, and brought the prices of the things that were 
fold. 

35 And laid them down at the apoftles' feet ; and 
cliftribution was made unto every man according as 
he had need. 

36 AndJofes, who by the apoftles was furnamed 
Barnabas, (which is, being interpreted, The fon of 
confolation,) a Levite, and of the country of Cyprus, 

37 Having land, fold it, and brought the money, and 
laid it at the apoftles' feet. 

CHAP. V. 
1 Ananias and Sappbira, profanely tempting the 
Spirit of the Lord, at Peter's rebuke fall down dead. 
1 2 The apostles work many miracles to the great in- 
crease of the faith. 17 They are all imprisoned, but 
released by_ an angel, and sent to preach openly in the 
temple: being brought before the council, 29 they sup- 
port their witness with great freedom. 33 The coun- 
cil, restrained from their bloody design by the advice 
of Gamaliel, beat and dismiss them, with a charge 
not to speak in the name of Jesus. 41 They rejoice 
in their sufferings, and cease not to preach Christ. 



The ACTS. 



They are imprisoned* 



UT a certain man, named Ananias, with Sapphira 
his wife, fold a poffefhon, 

2 And kept back part of the price, his wife alfo 
being privy to it, and brought a certain part, and laid 
it at the apoftles' feet. 

3 But Peter faid, Ananias, why hath Satan filled 
thine heart || to lie to the Holy Ghoft, and to keep 
6ack part of the price of the land ? 

4 Whiles it remained, was it not thine own ? and 
after it was fold, was it not in thine own power ? why 
haft thou conceived this thing in thine heart , ? thou 
haft not lied unto men, but unto God, 

5 And Ananias, hearing thefe words, fell down, and 
gave up the ghoft : and great fear came on all them 
that heard thefe things. ». 

6 And the young men arofe, wound him up, and 
carried him out, and buried him. 

7 And it was about the fpace of three hours after, 
when his wife, not knowing what was done, came 
in. 

8 And Peter anfwered unto her. Tell me, whether 
ye fold the land for fo much 1 And ihe faid, Yea, for 
fo much. 

9 Then Peter faid unto her. How is it that ye have 
agreed together to tempt the Spirit of the Lord , ? Be- 
hold, the feet of them which have buried thy hufband 
are at the door, and mall carry thee out. 

10 Then fell fhe down ftraightway at his feet, and 
yielded up the ghoft : and the young men came in, 
and found her dead, and, carrying her forth, buried 
her by her hufband, 

11 And great fear came upon all the church, and 
upon as many as heard thefe things. 

12 If And by the hands of the apoftles were many 
figns and wonders wrought among the people : (and 
they were all with one accord in Solomon's porch • 

13 And of the reft durft no man join himfelf to 
them ; but the people magnified them : 

14 And believers were the more added to the Lord, 
multitudes both of men and women :) 

15 Inlbmuch, that they brought forth the fick || into 
the ftreets, and laid them on beds and couches, that, 
at the leaft, the lhadow of Peter pafling by, might over- 
lhadow fome of them, 

16 There came alfo a multitude out of the cities 
round about unto Jerufaiem, bringing lick folks, and 
them which were vexed with unclean fpirits ; and they 
were healed every one. 

17 If Then the high prieft rofe up, and all they that 
were with him, (which is the feci; of the Sadducees,.) 
and were filled with || indignation, 

18 And laid their hands on the apoftles, and put 
them in the common prifon. 

19 But the angel of the Lord by night opened the 
prifon doors, and brought them forth, and faid, 

20 Go, ftand and fpeak in the temple to the people, 
all the words of this life, 

21 And when they heard that, they entered into 
the temple early in the morning, and taught. But the 
high prieft came, and they that were with him, and 
called the council together, and all the ienate of the 
children of Ifrael, and feat to the prifon to have them 
brought. 

22 But when the officers came, and found them not 
in the prifon, they returned and told,

fafety, and the keepers Handing without before the 
doors ; but, when we had opened, we found no man 
within. 

24 Nov, when the high priefl, and the captain of 
the temple, and the chief priefts, heard thefe things, 
they doubted of them w hereunto this would grow. 

25 Then came one and told them, faying, Behold, 
the men whom ye put in prifon are {landing in the 
temple, and teaching the people. 

26 Then went the captain with the officers, and 
brought them without violence : (for they feared the 
people, left they ihould have been ironed :) 

27 And, when they had brought them, they fet 
them before the council : and the high prieit alked 
them, 

28 Saying, a Did not we flraitly command you, that 
ye ihould not teach in this name ? and, behold, ye 
have filled Jerufalem with your doctrine, and intend 
to bring this man's blood upon us. 

29 IF Then Peter and the other apoftles anfwered, 
and laid, We ought to obey God rather than men. 

50 The God of our fathers raifed up Jefus, whom ye 
flew, and hanged on a tree. 

3 1 Him hath God exalted with his right hand to be 
a Prince and a Saviour, for to give repentance to If- 
rael, and forgivenefs of fins. 

32 And we are his witneffes of thefe things ; and so 
is alio the Holy Ghoft, whom God hath given to them 
that obey him. 

33 If When they heard that, they were cut to the 
heart, and took counfel to flay them. 

34 Then flood there up one in the council, a Phar- 
ifee, named Gamaliel, a doclor of the law, had in rep- 
utation among all the people, and commanded to put 
the apoftles forth a little fpace ; 

35 And faid unto them, Ye men of Ifrael, take 
heed to yourfelves what ye intend to do as touching 
thefe men. 

36 For l>efore thefe days rofe up Theudas, bcafting 
himfelfto befomebody ; to whom a number of men, 
about four hundred, joined themfelves : who was 
flain ; and all, as many as (| obeyed him, werefcatter- 
ed, and brought to nought. 

37 After this man rofe up Judas of Galilee, in the 
days of the taxing, and drew away much people after 
him : he alfo perifhed : and all, even as many as obey- 
ed him, were difperfed. 

38 And now, I fay unto you, Refrain from thefe 
men, and let them alone : for if this counfel, or this 
work, be of men, it will come to nought : 

39 But if it l>e of God, ye cannot overthrow it ; 
left haply ye be found even to fight againft God. . 

40 And to him they agreed : and when they had 
called the apoftles, and beaten them, they commanded 
that they mould not fpeakinthe name of Jefus, and 
let them go. 

41 \ And they departed from the prefence of the 
council, rejoicing that they were counted worthy to 
iuffcr f liame for his name. 

42 And daily in the temple, and in every houfc, they 
ceafed not to teach and preach Jefus Chrift. 

CHAP. VI. 

1 The apostles, desirous that the poor might not be 

neglected, recommend, 5 and, with the consent of the 

church, appoint to the office of deacon seven chosen

AND in thofe days, when the number of the dif- 
ciples was multiplied, there arofe a murmuring 
of the Grecians againft the Hebrews, became their 
widows were neglected in the daily miniftration. 

2 Then the twelve called the multitude of the difci- 
ples unto them, and faid, It is not reafon that we Ihould 
leave the word of God and ferve "tables. 

3 Wherefore, brethren, look ye out among you, 
fevenmen of honeft report, full of the Holy Ghoft and 
wifdom, whom we may appoint over this bufinefs. 

4 But we will give ourfelves continually to prayer, 
and to the miniftry of the word. 

5 If And the faying pleafed the w-hole multitude ; 
and they chofe Stephen, a man full of faith and of the 
Holy Ghoft, and Philip, and Prochorus, and Nicanor, 
and Timon, and Parmenas, and Nicolas a profelyte of 
Antioch ; 

6 Whom they fet before the apoftles ; and, wdien 
they had prayed, they laid their hands on them. 

7 If And the word of God increafed ; and the number 
of the difciples multiplied in Jerufalem greatly; and a 
great company of the priefts were obedient to the faith. 

8 If And Stephen, full of faith and power, did great 
wonders and miracles among the people. 

9 Then there arofe certain of the fynagogue, which 
is called the synagogue of the Libertines, and Cyreni- 
ans, and Alexandrians, and of them of Cilicia, and of 
Afia, difputing with Stephen. 

10 And they were not able to refill the wifdom and 
the fpirit hy which he fp:^ke. 

11 Then they fuborned men, which faid, We have 
heard him fpeak blafphemous w r ords againft Mofes, 
and against God. 

12 And they flirred up the people, and the elders, 
and the fcribes, and came upon him, and caught him, 
and brought him to the council, 

13 And fet up falfe witneffes, which faid, This man 
ceafeth not to fpeak blafphemous words againft this 
holy place, and the law : 

14 For we have heard him fay, that this Jefus of 
Nazareth fhall deftroy this place, and fhall change the 
II cuftoms which Mofes delivered us. 

15 And all that fat in the council, looking ftedfaftly 
on him, faw his face as it had been the face of an angel.

his seed the land of Canaan by promise : 9 how Jo- 
seph was sold by his brethren, and of Jacob's going

Abraham, when he was in Mefopotamia, before he 
dwelt in Char ran, 

3 And {'aid unto him, a Get thee out of thy country, 
and from thy kindred, and come into the land which 
I fhall fhew thee. 

4 Then > came he out of the land of the Chaldeans, 
and dwelt in Charran ; and from thence, when his fa- 
ther was dead, he removed him into this land, where- 
in ye now dwell. 

5 And he gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so 
much as to fet his foot on : yet he promifed that he 
would give it to him for a poffefiion, and to his feed 
after him, when as yet. he had no child. 

6 And God fpake on this wife, that his feed fhould 
fojourn in a llxange land ; and that they fhould bring 
them into bondage, and entreat them evil four hundred 
years. 

7 And the nation to whom they fhall be in bondage 
win I judge, faid God : and after that lhall they come 
forth, and ferve me in this place. 

8 b And he gave him the covenant of circumcihon ; 
c and fo Abraham begat Ifaac, and circumcifed him the 
eighth day ; d and Ifaac begat Jacob ; and e Jacob be- 
gat the twelve patriarchs. 

9 H f And the patriarchs, moved with envy> fold Jo- 
feph into Egypt : but God was with him, 

10 And delivered him out of all his affli&ions, E and 
gave him favour and wifdom in the fight of Pharaoh 
king of Egypt ; and he made him governor over Egypt, 
and all his houfe. 

11 Now there came a dearth over all the land of 
Egypt and Chanaan, and great affliction ; and our 
fathers found no fuftenance. 

12 h But when Jacob heard that there was corn in 
Egypt, lie fent out our fathers firft. 

13 i And at the fecond time Jofeph was made known 
to his brethren ; and Jofeph's kindred was made known 
unto Pharaoh. 

14 Then fent Jofeph, and called his father Jacob to 
him, and all his kindred, threeicore and fifteen fouls. 

15 k So Jacob went down into Egypt, l and died, he, 
and our fathers. 

16 And were carried over into Sychem, and laid in 
the fepulchre that Abraham bought for a fum of 
money of the fonsof Emraor, the father of Sychem. 

17 If But when the time of the promife drew nigh, 
which God had fworn to Abraham, the people grew, 
and multiplied in Egypt, 

18 Till another king arofe, which knew not Jofeph. 

19 The fame dealt fubtile)y with our kindred, and 
evil entreated our fathers, fo Jiat^ they caft out their 
young children, to the end they might not live. 

20 m In which time Mofes was born, and n was 
i| exceeding fair, and nourifhed up in his father's 
houfe three months : 

21 And when he was caft out, Pharaoh's daughter 
took him up, and nourifhed him for her own fon. 

^ 22 And Mofcs was learned in all the wifdom of the 
Egyptians, and was mighty in words and in deeds. 

23 And, when he was full forty years old, it came 
into his heart to vifit his brethren the children of 
Ifrael. 

24 ° And feeing one of them fuffer wrong, he defend- 
ed him, and avenged him that was oppreffed, and 
fmote the Egyptian : 

25 For he fuppofed his brethren would have im-

them : but they underftood not 

26 p And the next day he fhewed himfelf unto them 
as they ftrove, and would have let them at one again, 
laying, Sirs, ye are brethren ; why do ye wrong one 
to another ? 

27 But he that did his neighbour wrong, thruft him 
away, faying, Who made thee a ruler and a judge 
over us ? 

28 Wilt thou kill me, as thou didft the Egyptian 
yefterday ? 

29 Then fled Mofes at this faying, and was a ftran- 
ger in the land of Madian, where he begat two fons. 

30 q And when forty years were expired, there ap- qExoa. 
peared to him in the wildernefs of mount Sina an an 
gel of the Lord in a flame of fire in a bufh. 

31 When Mofes faw it, he 'wondered at the fight : 
and, as he drew near to behold it, the voice of the Lord 
came unto him, 

32 Saying, I am the God of thy fathers, the God of 
Abraham, and the God of Ifaac, and the God of Jacob, 
Then Moles trembled, and durft not behold. 

33 Then faid the Lord to him, Put off thy fhoes 
from thy feet : for the place where thou ftandeft is 
holy ground. 

34 I have feen, I have feen the affliction of my 
people which is in Egypt, and I have heard their 
groaning, and am come down to deliver them. And 
now come, I will fend thee into Egypt. 

35 This Mofes whom they refufed, faying, Who 
made thee a ruler and a judge ? the fame did God 
lend to be a ruler and a deliverer by the hand of the 
angel which appeared to him in the bufh. 

36 He brought them out, after that he had r (hew- 
ed wonders and figns in the land of Egypt, and in the 
Red fea, s and in the wildernefs forty years. 

37 IT This is that Mofes which faid unto the chil- 
dren of Ifrael, * A Prophet ihall the Lord your God 
raife up unto you of your brethren, || like unto me: 
him fhall ye hear. 

38 u This is he that was in the church m the wilder- 
nefs with the angel which fpake to him in the mount 
Sina, and with our fathers ; who received the lively 
oracles to give unto us : 

39 To whom our fathers wouM not obey, but 
thruft him from them, and in their hearts turned back 
again into Egypt, 

40 x Saying unto Aaron, Make us gods to go before *k*°*> 
us : for as" for this Mofes, which brought us out of the 3 
land of Egypt, we wot not what is become of him. 

41 And they made a calf in thofe days, and offered 
facrifice unto the idol, and rejoiced in the works of 
their own hands. 

42 Then God turned, and gave them up to w r orfhip 
the hoft ofhcaven ; as it is written in the book of the 
prophets, y O ye houfe of Ifrael, have ye offered to me y Am** 
(lain beafts and facrifices by the space of forty years in 5 2i '

43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle of Moloch, and 
the ftar of your god Retophan, figures which ye made, 
to worfhip them : and I will carry you away beyond 
Babylon.

54 II When they heard thefe things, they were cut to

ftedfaftly into heaven, and fawthe glory of God, and 
Jefus Handing on the right hand of God ; 

56 Andfaid, Behold, I fee the heavens opened, and

57 Then they cried out with a loud voice, and {top- 
ped their ears, and ran upon him with one accord. 

58 And caft him out of the city, and ftoned him : 
and the witneffes laid down their clothes at a young 
man's feet, whofe name was Saul. 

59 And they ftoned Stephen, calling upon God,

when he had laid this, he fell afleep.

prayed, and laid their hands on them, the Samari- 
tans receive the Holy Ghost. 1 8 Simon ofereth money 
for the like power, but is sharply reproved by Peter 
for his wickedness and hypocrisy, and admonished to 
repent ; the apostles having preached in many vil- 
lages of the Samaritans, return to Jerusalem. 26 
Philip is sent by an angel to convert and baptize an 
Ethiopian eunuch ; after which he preachctb in 
many cities in his journey to Cesar ea. 

AN D Saul was contenting unto his death. And 
at that time there was a great perfecution againft 
the church which was at Jerufalem ; and they were 
all fcattered abroad throughout the regions of Judca 
and Samaria, except the apoftles. 

2 And devout men carried Stephen to his burial, 
and made great lamentation over him. 

3 As for Saul, he made havock of the church, en- 
tering into eveiy houfe, and, haling men and women, 
committed *&?»ztoprifon. 

4 Therefore they that were fcattered abroad, went 
every where preaching the word. 



5 Then Philip went down to the city of Samaria, 
and preached Chrift unto them. v 

6 And the people with one accord gave heed unto 
thofe things which Philip fpake, hearing and feeing 
the miracles which he did. 

7 For unclean fpirits crying with loud voice, came 
out of many that were poileffed with them ; and 
many taken with pallies, and that were lame, were 
healed. 

8 And there was great joy in that city. 

9 But there was a certain man, called Simon, which 
beforetime in the feme city ufedlbrcery, and bewitch- 
ed the people of Samaria, giving out that himielf was 
fome great one : 

10 To whom they all gave heed from the leaft to the 
greateft, faying. This man is the great power of God. 

11 And to him they had regard, becaufe that of 
long time he had bewitched them with forceries. 

12 But when they believed Philip, preaching the 
things concerning the kingdom of God, and the name 
of Jefus Chrift, they were baptized, both men and 
women. 

13 Then Simon himfelf believed alfo ; and when he 
was baptized he continued with Philip, and wondered, 
beholding the miracles and ligns which were done. 

14 If Now when the apoftles, which were at Jeru- 
falem, heard that Samaria had received the word of 
God, they fent unto them Peter and John : 

15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for 
them, that they might receive the Holy Ghoft. 

16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them : 
only they were baptizedin the name of the Lord Jefus.) 

17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they 
received the Holy Ghoft. 

18 If And when Simon faw that, through laying on 
of the apoftle's hands the Holy Ghoft was given, he 
offered them money, 

19 Saying, Give me alfo this power, that on whom - 
foever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghoft. 

20 But Peter faid unto him, Thy money perifh 
with thee, becaufe thou haft thought that the gift of 
God may be purchafe'd with money. 

21 Thou haft neither p, .rt nor lot in this matter : 
for thy heart is not right in the fight of God. 

22 Repent, therefore, of this thy wickednefs, and 
pray God, if perhaps the thought of thine heart may 
be forgiven thee. 

23 For I perceive that thou art in the gall of bitter- 
nefs, and in the bond of iniquity. 

24 Then anfwered Simon, and faid, Pray ye to the 
Lord for me, that none of thefe things which ye have 
fpoken come upon me. 

25 And they, when they had teftified and preached 
the word of the Lord, returned to Jerufalem, and 
preached the gofpel in many villages of the Samar- 
itans. 

26 If And the angel of the Lord fpake unto Philip, 
faying, Arife, and go toward the foutn, unto the way 
that goeth down from Jerufalem unto Gaza, which is 
defert. 

27 And he arofe and went : and, behold, a man of 
Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace 
queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of all her 
treafurc, and had come to Jerufalem for to worfhip, 

28 Was returning ; and, litting in his chariot, read 
Efaias the prophet.

domini 29 Then the Spirit faid unto Philip, Go near, and 
join thyfelf to this chariot. 

30 And Philip ran thither to him. and heard him 
read the prophet Efaias, and faid, Underftandeft thou 
what thou readeft ? 

31 Andjie faid, How can I, except feme man 
fhould guide me ? And he delired Philip 1 that he 
would come up and fit with him. 

32 The place of the fcripture whichhe read was this, 
a He was led as a iheep to the flaughter ; and like a lamb 
dumb before his fhearer, fo opened he not his mouth. 

33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken 
away ; and who Ihall declare his generation ? for his 
life is taken from the earth. 

34 And the eunuch anfwered Philip, and laid, I 
pray thee, of whom fpeaketh the prophet this ? of 
himfelf, or of fome other man ? 

35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and began at the 
fame fcripture, and preached unto him Jefus. 

36 And, as they went on their way , they came unto 
a certain water : and the eunuch faid, See, here is 
water ; what doth hinder me to be baptized ? 

37 And Philip faid, if thou believeft with all thine 
heart, thou mayeft. And he anfwered and faid, I be- 
lieve that Jefus Chrifl is the Son of God. 

38 And he commanded the chariot to Hand ftill ; 
and they went down both into the water, both Philip 
and the eunuch ■ and he baptized him. 

39 And, when they were come up out of the water, 
the Spirit of the Lord caught away Philip, that the 
eunuch faw him no more : and he went on his way 
rejoicing. 

40 But Philip was found at Azotus ; and, palfmg 
through, he preached in all the cities till he came to 
Cefarea.

1 Saul going toward Damascus, by a light from hea- 
ven is stricken to the earth. 10 Ananias is sent to him, 
by whom he is restored to sight, and baptized: he 
straightway preacbeth Christ. 23 The Jews of 
Damascus seek to kill Saul: 26 he goeth to Jerusa- 
lem, and is received by tl ■: apostles. 3 L The church 
hath rest, and is multiplied. 32 Peter healeth Eneas 
of the palsy, 36 and restoreth Tabitha to life. 

AN D Saul, yet breathing out threatenings and 
flaughter againft the difciples of the Lord, went 
unto the high prieft, 

2 And defired of him letters to Damafcus to the 
fynagogues, that if he found any of this way, whether 
they were men or women, he might bring them bound 
unto Jerufalem. 

3 And, as he journeyed, he came near Damafcus ; 
and fuddenly there (hined round about him a light 
from heaven. 

4 And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice faying 
unto him, Saul, Saul, why perfecuteft thou me ? 
^ 5 And he faid, Who art thou, Lord ? And the Lord 
faid, I am Jefus whom thou perfecuteft. It is hard for 
thee to kick againft the pricks. 

6 And he, trembling and aftonifhed, faid, Lord, 
what wilt thou have me to do ? And the Lord said 
unto him, Arife, and go into the city, and itfhall be 
told thee what thou muft do. 

7 And the men which journeyed with him flood 
Jbeechlefs, hearing a voice, but feeing no man.

He preacheth Christ boldly. 

8 And Saul arofe from the earth ; and when his 
eyes were opened he faw no man : but they led him 
by the hand, and brought him into Damafcus. 

. 9 And he was three days without fight, and neither 
did eat nor drink. 

10 If And there was a certain difciple at Damafcus, 
named Ananias ; and to him laid the Lord in a viiion, 
Ananias. And he faid. Behold, I am here, Lord. 

11 And the Lord said unto him, Arife, and go into 
the ftreet which is called Straight, and inquire in the 
houfe of Judas, for one called Saul of Tarfus : for, be- 
hold, he prayeth. 

12 And hath feen in a virion a man, named Ana- 
nias, coming in, and patting his hand on him, that 
he might receive his fight. 

13 Then Ananias anfwered, Lord, 1 have heard by 
many of this man, how much evil he hath done to thy 
faints at Jerufalem : 

14 And here he hath authority from the chief priefts 
to bind all that call on thy name. 

15 But the Lord faid unto him, Go thy way : for he 
is a chbferi vefl'ei unto me, to bear my name before 
the Gentiles, and kings, and the children of Ifrael. 

16 For I will fhew him how great things he muft 
fuller for my name's fake. 

17 And Ananias -went his way and entered into the 
houfe; and, putting his hands on him, laid, Brother 
Saul, the Lord, even Jefus, that appeared unto thee in 
the way as thou cameft, hath lent me, that thou might- 
eft receive thy fight, and be filled with the Holy Ghoft. 

18 And immediately there fell from his eyes as it 
had beenfcales ; and he received fight forthwith, and 
arofe, and was baptized. 

19 And when he had received meat he was ftrength- 
ened. Then was Saul certain days with the difciples 
which were at Damafcus. 

20 And ftraightway he preached Chrifl in the fyna- 
gogues, that he is the Son of God. 

21 But all that heard him were amazed, and faid, 
Is not this he that deftroyed them which called on 
this name in Jerufalem, and came hither for that 
intent, that he might bring them bound unto the 
chief priefts ? 

22 But Saul increafed the more in ftrength, and 
confounded the Jews which dwelt at Damafcus, prov- 
ing that this is very Chrift. 

23 If And after that many days were fulfilled, the 
Jews took counfel to kill him : 

24 a But their laying await was known of Saul : and 
they watched the gates day and night to kill him. 

25 Then the difciples took him by night, and let 
him down by the wall in a bafket. 

26 If And when Saul was come to Jerufalem, he affay- 
ed to join himfelf to the difciples : but they were all 
afraid of him, and believed not that he was a difciple. 

27 But Barnabas took him, and brought him to the 
apoftles, and declared unto them how he had feen the 
Lord in the way, and that he had fpoken to him, and 
how he had preached boldly at Damafcus in the name 
of Jefus. 

28 And he was with them coming in and going out 
at Jerufalem. 

29 And he fpake boldly in the name of the Lord 
Jefus, and difputed againft the Grecians : but they 
went about to flay him :

31 If Then hadthe churches reft throughout all 
Judea, and Galiiee, and Samaria, and were edified ; 
and, walking in the fear of the Lord, and in the com- 
fort of the Holy Ghoft, were multiplied. 

32 II And it came to pafs, as Peter paffed through- 
out all quarters, he came down alfo to the faints which 
dwelt at Lydda. 

33 And there he found a certain man named Eneas, 
which had kept his bed eight years, and was fick of 
the palfy. 

34 And Peter faid unto him, Eneas, Jefus Chrift 
maketh thee whole : arife, and make thy bed. And 
he arofe immediately. 

35 And all that dwelt in Lydda and Saron faw him, 
and turned to the Lord. 

36 If Now there was at Joppa a certain difciple 
named Tabitha, which, by interpretation, is called 
Dorcas : this woman was full of good works and 
alms deeds which fhe did. 

37 And it came to pafs in thofe days that fhe was 
fick, and died : whom when they had wafhed, they 
laid her in an upper chamber. 

38 And forafmuch as Lj r dda was nigh to Joppa, 
and the difciple s had heard that Peter was there, they 
fent unto him two men, defiring him that he would 
not || delay to come to them. 

39 Then Peter arofe, and went with them. When 
he was come, they brought him into the upper cham- 
ber ; and all the widows Hood by him weeping, and 
fhewing the coats and garments which Dorcas made 
while fhe was with them. 

40 But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down 
and prayed ; and, turning him to the body, faid, 
Tabitha, arife. And fhe opened her eyes : and, when 
flie faw Peter, fhe fat up. 

41 And he gave her his hand, and lifted her up ; 
and, when he had called the faints and widows, he 
prefented her alive. 

42 And it was known throughout all Joppa ; and 
many believed in the Lord. 

43 And it came to pafs, that he tarried many days 
in Joppa with one Simon a tanner. 

CHAP. X. 

1 Cornelius a devout centurion, being commanded by an 
angel, sendethfor Peter, 9 who in the mean time is 
prepared by an heavenly vision : 17 he goeth with 
the messengers: 34 he preach eth Christ to Cornelius 
and his company : 44 the Holy Ghost falleth on them, 
and they are baptized. 

a. o. 4 ;. r-r\ HERE was a certain man in Cefarea, called Cor- 
X nelius, a centurion of the band called the Italian 
band. 

2 A devout man, and one that feared God with all 
his houie, which gave much alms to the people, and 
prayed to God alway : 

3 He faw in a vifion evidently about the ninth 
hour of the clay, an angel of God coming in to him, 
and laying unto him, Cornelius. 

4 And when he looked on him, he was afraid, and 
faid, What is it, Lord ? And he faid unto him, Thy 
prayers and thine alms are come up for a memorial 
before God. 

5 And now fend men to Joppa, and call for one 
Simon, whofe furname is Peter ; 

6 He lodgeth with one Simon a tanner, whofc 

* 4 S 



houfe is by the fea fide ; he mall tell thee what thou 
oughtefi to do. 

7 And, when the angel which fpake unto Cornelius 
was departed, he called two of his houfehold fervants, 
and a devout ibldier of them that waited on him 
continually ; 

8 And, when he had declared all these things unto 
them, he fent them to Joppa. 

9 if On the morrow, as they went on their journey, 
and drew nigh unto the city, Peter went up upon the 
houfe top to pray, about the fixth hour. 

10 And he became very hungry, and would have 
eaten : but while they made ready he fell into a trance, 

11 And faw heaven opened, and a certain veffel 
defcending unto him, as it had been a great flieet 
knit at the four corners, and let down to the earth ; 

12 Wherein were all manner of fourfooted beads 
of the earth, and wild beads, and creeping things, and 
fowls of the air. 

< 13 And there came a voice to him, Rife, Peter ; 
kill, and eat. 

14 But Peter faid, Not fo, Lord ; for I have never 
eaten any thing that is common or unclean. 

15 And the voice spake unto him again the fecond 
time, What God hath cleanfed, that call not thou 
common. 

16 This was done thrice : and the veffel was re- 
ceived up again into heaven. 

m 17 If Now, while Peter doubted in himfelf what this 
vifion which he had feen fliould mean, behold, the 
men which were fent from Cornelius, had made in- 
quiry for Simon's houfe, and flood before the gate, 

18 And called, and alked whether Simon, which 
was furnamed Peter, were lodged there. 

19 If While Peter thought on the vifion, the Spirit 
faid unto him, Behold, three men feok thee. 

20 Arife, therefore, and get thee down, and go 
with them, doubting nothing ; for I have fent them. 

21 Then Peter went down to the men which were 
fent unto him from Cornelius, and faid, Behold, I am 
he whom ye feek : what is the caufe wherefore ye 
are come ? 

22 And they faid, Cornelius the centurion, a juft 
man, and one that feareth God, and of good report 
among all the nation of the Jews, was warned from 
God by an holy angel to lend for thee into his houfe. 
and to hear words of thee. 

23 Then called he them in, and lodged them. And 
on the morrow Peter went away with them, and cer- 
tain brethren from Joppa accompanied him. 

24 And the morrow after, they entered into Cefa- 
rea. And Cornelius waited for them, and hud called 
together his kinfmen and near friends. 

25 If And, as Peter was coming in, Cornelius met 
him, and fell down at his feet and worlhipped him. 

26 But Peter took him up, faying, Stand up ; I 
myfelf alfo am a man. 

27 And, as he talked with him, he went in, and 
found many that were come together. 

28 And he faid unto them, Ye know how that it 
is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Jew to keep 
company, or come unto one of another nation: but 
God hath (hewed me that I fhould not call any mar. 
common or unclean. 

29 Therefore' came I unto you without gainfaying, 
as foon as I was lent for : I afk, therefore, for what 
intent ye have fent for me :

30 And Cornelius faid, Four days ago I was falling 
until this hour ; and at the ninth hour I prayed in my 
houfe, and, behold, a man Hood before me in bright 
clothing, 

31 And faid, Cornelius, thy prayer is heard, and 
thine alms are had in remembrance in the fight of 
God. 

32 Send, therefore, to Joppa, and call hither Si- 
mon, whole furname is Peter ; he is lodged in the 
houfe of one Simon a tanner, by the fea fide ; who, 
when he cometh, fhall fpeak unto thee. 

33 Immediately, therefore,. I fent to thee ; and thou 
haft well done that thou art come. Now, therefore, 
are we all here prefent before God, to hear all things 
that are commanded thee of God. 

34 If Then Peter opened his mouth, and faid, a Of 
a truth I perceive that God is no refpecler of perfons : 

35 But in every nation, he that feareth him, and 
worketh righteoufnefs, is accepted with him. 

36 The word which God fent unto the children of 
Jfrael, preaching peace by Jefus Chrilt, (he is Lord 
of all,) 

37 That word, I say, ye know, which was pub- 
Iifhed throughout all Judea, and began from Galilee, 
after the baptifm which John preached ; 

38 How God anointed Jefus of Nazareth with the 
Holy Ghoft, and with power : who went about doing 
good, and healing all that were oppreffed of the devil : 
for God was with him. 

39 And we are witneffes of all things which he did, 
both in the land of the Jews, and in Jerufalem ; whom 
they flew, and hanged on a tree :_ 

40 Him God railed up the third day, and fhewed 
him openly ; 

41 Not to all the people, but unto witneffes chofen 
before of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with 
him after he rofe from the dead. 

42 And he commanded us to preach unto the peo- 
ple, and to teftify that it is he which was ordained of 
God to be the judge of quick and dead. 

43 b To him give all the prophets witnefs, that, 
through his name, whofoever believeth in him fhall 
receive remiffion of fins. 

44 "ff While Peter yet fpake thefe words, the Holy 
Ghoft fell on all them which heard the word. 

45 And they of the circumcilion which believed 
were aftonifhed, as many as came with Peter, becaufe 
that on the Gentiles alfo was poured out the gift of the 
Holy Ghoft : 

46 For they heard them fpeak with tongues, and 
magnify God. Then anfwered Peter, 

47 Can any man forbid water, that thefe fhould not 
be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghoft as 
well as we ? 

48 And he commanded them to be baptized in the 
name of the Lord. Then prayed they him to tarry 
certain days. 

C H A P. XL 

1 Peter being accused for going _ in to the Gentiles, 
makelh his defence ; the church is satisfied. 19 The 
gospel having spread unto Phenice, Cyprus, and 
Antioch, 22 Barnabas is sent thither ; fnany believe 
dt Antioch, where the disciples are first called Chris- 
tians : 27 Agabus prophesieth a dearth ; the disci- 
ples send relief to the brethren in Judea* 



AND the apoftles and brethren that were in Judea 
heard that the Gentiles had alio received 
word of God. 

2 And when Peter was come up to Jerufalem, they 
that were of the circumcifion contended with him, 

3 Saying, Thou wenteft in to men uncircumcifed, 
and didft eat with them. 

# 4 But Peter rehearfed the matter from the begin- 
ning, and expounded it by order unto them, faying, 

5 1 was in the city of Joppa praying ; and in a 
trance I faw a vifion, A certain veffel defcend, as it 
had been a great Iheet, let down from heaven by four 
corners y and it came even to me : 

6 Upon the which, when I had fattened mine eyes, 
I conlidered, and faw four footed beafts of the earth, 
and yvild beafts, and creeping things, and fowls of 
the air. 

7 And I heard a Voice faying unto me, Arife, Pe- 
ter ; llay and eat. 

8 But I faid, Not fo, Lord ; for nothing common 
or unclean hath at any time entered into my mouth. 

9 But the voice anfwered me again from heaven, 
What God hath cleanfed, that call not thou common. 

10 And this was done three times : and all were 
drawn up again into heaven. 

1 1 And, behold, immediately there were three men 
already come unto the houfe where I was, fent from 
Cefarea unto me. 

12 And the Spirit bade me go with them, nothing- 
doubting. Moreover, thefe fix brethren accompanied 
me, and we entered into the man's houfe : 

_ 13 And he fhewed us how he had feen an angel in 
his houfe, which ftoodand faid unto him, Send men 
to Joppa, and call for Simon, whole furname is Peter ; 

14 Who fhall tell thee words, whereby thou and all 
thy houfe fhall be faved. 

15 And, as I began to fpeak, the Holy Ghoft fell 
on them, a as on us at the beginning. 

16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how 
that he faid, b John indeed baptized with water ; but 
ye fhall be baptized with the Holy Ghoft. 

17 Foralmuch then as God gave them the like gift 
as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord Jefus 
Chrift ; what was I that I could withftand God ? 

18 When they heard thefe things, they held their 
peace, and glorified God, faying, Then hath God alfo 
to the Gentiles granted repentance unto life. 

19 II c Now they which were fcattered abroad up- 
on the perfecution that arofe about Stephen, travelled 
as far as Phenice, and Cyprus, and Antioch, preach- 
ing the word to none but unto the Jews only. 

20 And fome of them were men of Cyprus, and Gy- 
rene, which, when they were come to Antioch, fpake 
unto the Grecians, preaching the Lord Jefus. 

21 And the hand of the Lord was with them ; and 
a great number believed, and turned unto the Lord. 

22 H Then tidings of thefe^ things came unto the 
ears of the church which was in Jerufalem ; and they 
fent forth Barnabas,, that he ihould go as far as 
Antioch : 

23 Who, when he came, and had feen the grace of 
God, was glad, and exhorted them all that with pur- 
pofe of heart they would cleave unto the Lord. 

24 For he was a good man, and full of the Holy 
Ghoft, and of faith : and much people was added un- 

i to the Lord.

4 And, when he had apprehended him, he put him

bind on thy fandals : and fo he did. And he faith un- 
to him, Call thy garment about thee, and follow mc. 

9 And he went out and followed him ; and will not 
that it was true which was done by the angel: but 
thought he faw a vifion. 

10 When they were pail the firft and the fecond 
v ward, they came unto the iron gate that Ieadeth unto 

the city, which opened to them of his own accord : 
and they went out, and pafled on through one flreet; 
and forthwith the angel departed from him. 

11 And when Peter was come to himfelf, he faid, 
Now I know of afurety that the Lord hath fent his 
angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of He- 
rod, and from all the expectation of the people of the 
Jews. 

12 And, when he had confidered the thing, he

whole furname was Mark ; where many were gather- 
ed together praying. 

13 And, as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, 
a damfel came || to hearken, named Rhoda. 

14 And, when fhe knew Peter's voice, ihe opened 
not the gate for gladnefs, but ran in, and told how 
Peter flood before the gate. 

15 And they faid unto her, Thou art mad. But fhe 
conflantly affirmed tiiat it was even fo. Then faid 
they, It is his angel. 

16 But Peter continued knocking. And when they 
had opened the door, and faw him, they were aflonifhed. 

17 But he, beckoning unto them with the hand to 
hold their peace, declared unto them how the Lord 
had brought him out of the prifon. And he faid, Go, 
fliew thefe things unto James, and to the brethren. 
And he departed, and went into another place. 

18 Now, as foon it was day, there was no fmall flir 
among the foldiers what was become of Peter. 

19 And when Herod had fought for him, and found 
him not, he examined the keepers, and commanded 
that they fhould be put to death. And he went down 
from Judea to Cefarea, and there abode. 

20 IF And Herod || was highly difpleafed with them 
of Tyre and Sidon : but they came with one accord 
to him ; and, having made Blaftus t the king's cham- 
berlain their friend, defired peace : becaufe then- 
country was nourifhed by the king's country. 

21 And upon a fet day, Herod, arrayed in royal 
apparel, fat upon his throne, and made an oration un- 
to them. 

22 And the people gave a fhout, saying, It is the 
voice of a god, and not of a man. 

# 23 And immediately the angel of the Lord fmote 
him, becaufe he gave not God the glory : and he was 
eaten of worms, and gave up the ghofl. 

24 IF But the word of God grew and multiplied. 

25 IF And Barnabas and Saul returned from Jerufa- 
lem, when they had fulfilled their || miniflry, and took ii^or, 
with them John, whofe furname was Mark.

The Gentiles desire to hear the word again ; many

blaspheme : the apostles profess to turn to the Gen-

6 IF And when they hud gone through the ifle unto 
Paphos, they found a certain forcerer, a falfe prophet, 
a Jew, whofe name was Barjefus, 

. 7 Which was with the deputy of the country, Ser- 
gius Pauius, a prudent man; who called tor Barnabas 
and Saul,- and defired to hear the word of God. 

8 But Elymas the forcerer (for fo is his name by 
interpretation) withstood them, feeking to turn away 
the deputy from the faith. 

9 Then Saul, Cwho a!fo is called ~Pau\,) filled with 
the Holy Ghoft, let his eyes on him, 

10 And faid, O full of all fubtilty and all mifchief, 
thou child of the devil, thou enemy of all righteouf- 
nefs ! wilt thou not ceafe to pervert the right ways of 
the Lord ? 

1 1 And now, behold, the hand of the Lord is upon 
thee, and thou (halt be blind, not feeing the fun for a 
ieafon. And immediately there fell on him a milt and 
adarknefs ; and he went about feeking fome to lead 
him by the hand. 

12 Then the"deputy, when he faw what was done, 
believed, being aftoniihed at the doctrine of the Lord. 

13 II Now, when Paul and his company loofed from 
Paphos, they came to Pergain Pamphylia : and John, 
departing from them, returned to Jerufalem. 

14 But when they departed from Perga they came 
to Antioch in Pilidia, and went into the fynagogue on 
the fabbath day, and fat down. 

15 And after the reading of the law and the pro- 
phets, the rulers of the fynagogue lent unto them, lay- 
ing, Ye men and brethren, if ye have any word of ex- 
hortation for the people, fay on. 

16 Then Paul flood up, and, beckoning with his 
hand, faid, Men of Ifrael, and ye that fear God, give 
audience. 

17 The God of this people of Ifrael chofe our fa- 
thers, and exalted the people a when they dwelt as 
flrangers in the land of Egypt, b and with an high arm 
brought he them out of it. 

18 And about the time of forty years f fuffered he 
their manners in the wildernefs. 

19 And when he had deltroyed feven nations in the 
land of Chanaan, c he divided their land to them by lot. 

20 And after that d he gave unto them judges, about 
the fpace of four hundred and fifty years, until Samuel 
the prophet. 

21 e And afterward they deiired a king : and God 
gave unto them. Saul the (on of Cis, a man of the tribe 
of Benjamin, by the fpace of forty years. 

22 And when he had removed him, f he raifed up 
unto them David to be their king; to whom alio he 
gave teftimony, and faid, s I have found David the son 
of Jeffe, a man after mine own heart, which fhali fulfil 
all my will. 

23 h Of this man's feed hath God, according to his 
promife, railed unto Ifrael a Saviour, Jefus; 

24 'When John had firft preached before his coming 
the baptifm of repentance to all the people of Ifrael. 

25 And as John fulfilled his courfe, he faid, k Whom 
think ye that I am ? I am not he : but, behold, there 
cometh one after me, whofe fhoes of his feet I am not 
worthy to loofc. 

26 Men and brethren, children of the (lock of 
Abraham, and whofoever among you feareth God, 
to you is the word of this falvation lent.

of the prophets which are read every fabbath clay, they 
have fulfilled them in condemning him. 

28 'And though they found no caufe of deatfr% iMat* 
him, yet defired they Pilate that he fhould be iiain. " 7 "" 

29 And when they had fulfilled all that was written 
of him, they took him down from the trees and laid 
him in a fepulchre. 

30 m But God raifed him from the dead : 
5 i And he was feen many days of them which 

came up with him from Galilee to Jerufalem, who 
are his witneffes unto the people. 

32 And we declare unto you glad tidings, how that 
the promife which was made unto the fathers, 

33 pod hath fulfilled the fame unto us their chil- 
dren, in that he hath raifed up Jefus again ; as it is alfo 
written in the fecond pfalm, n Thou art my Son, this \ * salra 
day have I begotten thee. 

34 And as concerning that he raifed him up from 
the dead, now no more to return to corruption, he 
faid on this wife, °I will give you the fure t mercies 
of David. 

35 Wherefore he faith alfo in another psalm, p Thou 
flialt notfuffer thine holy One to fee corruption. 

36 For David, || after he had ferved his own gene- 
ration, by the will of God q fell on deep, and was laid 
unto his fathers, and law corruption : 

_ 37 But he whom God raifed again faw no corrup- 
tion ; 

38 Be it known unto you, therefore, men and 
brethren, that through this man is preached unto you 
the forgivenefs of fins. 

39 And by him all that believe are juflified from all 
things from which ye could not be juflified by the law 
of Moles. 

40 Beware, therefore, left that come upon you 
which is fpoken of in r the prophets ; 

41 Behold, ye defpifers, and wonder, and perifh : 
for I work a work in your days, a work which ye (hall 
in no wife believe, though a man declare it unto you. 

42 HAnd, when the Jews were gone out of the 
fynagogue, the Gentiles befought that thefe words 
might be preached to them tthe next fabbath. 

43 Now, when the congregation was broken up, 
many of the Jews and religious profelytes followed 
Paul and Barnabas ; who, fpeaking to them, perfuad- 
ed them to continue in the grace of God. 

44 II And the next fabbath day came almofl the 
whole city together to hear the word of God. 

45 But when the Jews faw the multitudes, they 
were filled with envy, and' fpake againfl thofe things 
which were fpoken by Paul, contradicting and blaf- 
pheming. 

46 Then Paul and Barnabas waxed bold, and faid, 
It was neceffary that the word of God fhould firft 
have been fpoken to you ; but feeing ye put it from 
you, and judge yourfelves unworthy of everlafting life, 
lo, we turn to the Gentiles : 

47 For fohath the Lord commanded us, saying, S I 
have fet thee to be alight of the Gentiles, that thou 
(houldeft be for falvation unto the ends of the earth. 

48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they were 
glad, and glorified the word of the Lord : and as many 
as v ere ordained to eternal life believed. 

49 And the word of the Lord was publifhed 
throughout all the region.

ra'ued perfecution againft Paul and Barnabas, and ex- 
pellee I them out of their coafts. . 

51 r But they fhook off the duff of their feet againit 
them, and came unto Iconium. . 

52 And the difciples were filled with joy, and with 
the Holy Ghoii. 

C H A P. XIV. 
1 Paul and Barnabas are persecuted from Iconium. 
8 At Lystra tbeij heal an impotent man, and refuse 
divine 'honours with abhorrence. 1 9 Paul is stoned, 
but cocapeth alive. 21 Rating passed through di- 
vers places, and confirmed the churches in faith and 
patience, they return to Antioch, and give an account 
oj their ministry. 
N D it came to pafs in Iconium, that they went 
both together into the fynagogueof the Jews, and 
fofpake, that a great multitude, bodi of the Jews, and 
alfo of the Greeks, believed. 

2 But the unbelieving Jews ftirred up the Gentiles, 
and made their minds evil affecled againft the brethren. 

3 Longtime, therefore, abode they, fpeaking boldly 
in the Lord ; which gave teftimony unto the word of 
his grace, and granted figns and wonders to be done 
by their hands. 

4 But the multitude of the city was divided ; and 
part held with the Jews, and part with the apoftles. 

5 And when there was an affault made, both of the 
Gentiles, and alfo of the Jews, with their rulers, to ufe 
them defpitefully, and to (tone diem, 

6 They were ware of it, and fled unto Lyftra and 
Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the region that 
lieth round about ; 

7 And there they preached the gofpel. 

8 IT And there fat a certain man at Lyftra, impotent 
in his feet, being a cripple from his mother's womb, 
who never had walked : 

9 The fame heard Paul fpeak ; who ftedfaftly behold- 
ing him, and perceiving that he had faith to be healed, 

10 Said, with aloud voice, Stand upright on thy feet. 
And he leaped and walked. 

11 And when the peoplefaw what Paul had done, they 
lifted up their voices, faying in the ipeech of Lycaonia, 
The gods are come down to usinthelikenefs of men. 

12 And they called Barnabas Jupiter, and Paul 
Mercurius, becaufe he was the chief fpeaker. 

13 Then the prieft of Jupiter, which was before 
their city, brought oxen and garlands unto the gates, 
and would have clone facrifice with the people. 

14 Which when the apoftles, Barnabas and Paul , 
heard of they rent their clothes, and ran in among the 
people, crying out, 

15 And faying, Sirs, why do yethefe things ? We 
alfo are men of like paftions with you, and preach unto 
you, that ye fhould turn from thefe vanities unto the 
living God, * which made heaven, and earth, and the 
fea, and all things that are therein ; 

16 b Who in times paft fuffered all nations to walk 
in their own ways. 

17 Neverthelefs he left not himfelf without witnefs, 
in that he did good, and gave us rain from heaven, and

19 If And there came thither certain Jews from An- 
tioch and Iconium, who perfuaded the people ; c and ^ 
having Honed Paul, drew him out of the city, fuppof- * 
ing he had been dead. 

20 Howbeit, as the difciples flood round about him, 
he rofe up, and came into the city : and the next day 
he departed with Barnabas to Derbe. 

21 11 And when they had preached the gofpel to 
that city, and had taught many, they returned again to 
Lyftra, and to Iconium, and to Antioch, 

22 Confirmingthefoulsofthe difciples, dWexhorting 
them to continue in the faith, and that we muft through 
much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God. 

23 And when they had ordained them elders in 
every church, and had prayed with failing, they com- 
mended them to the Lord, on whom they believed. 

24 And after they had patted throughout Piiidia, 
they came to Pamphylia. 

25 And when they had preached die word in Perga, 
they went down into Attalia ; 

26 And thence failed to Antioch, from whence they 
had been recommended to die grace of God for the 
work which they fulfilled. 

27 And when they were come, and had gathered 
the church together, they 7 rehearfed all that God had 
done with them, and how he had opened the door of 
faith unto the Gentiles. 

28 And there they abode long time with the difciples. 

CHAP. XV. 

1 Great dissensions about circumcising the Gentiles ; 
Paul and Barnabas arc sent to consult the apostles 
and elders at Jerusalem. 13 James dclivercih him- 
self in favour of the Gentiles. 22 The apostles'' de- 
termination sent to the churches. 36 Paul and Bar- 
nabas propose to visit the churches, &C. 

AN D certain men which came down from Judea 
taught the brethren, and said, a Except ye be cir- 
cumcifedafter the manner of Mofes, ye cannot be faved. 

2 When, therefore, Paul and Barnabas had no fmall 
diffenfion and difputation with them, they determined 
that Paul and Barnabas, and certain other of them, 
fhould go up to Jerulalem unto the apoftles and elders 
about this queftion. 

3 Aid being brought on their way by the church, 
they palled through PhenicS: and Samaria, declaring 
the converfionofthe Gentiles : and they caufed great 
joy unto all the brethren. 

4 And when they were come to Jerufalem, they 
were received of the church, and of the apoftles and 
elders, and they declared all things that God had done 
with them. 

5 H But there rofe up certain of the fe£t of the Pilar* 
ifees which believed, faying, that it was needful to cir- 
cumcifc them, and to command them to keep the law 
of Moles. 

6 And the apoftles and ciders came together for to 
confider of this matter. 

7 And, when there had been much difputing, Peter 
rofe up, and (aid unto them, b Men and brethren, ye 1. cj»ir 
know how, that a good while ago, God made choice 
among us, that the Gentiles by my mouth fhould hear 
the word of the gofpel, and believe.

9 And put no difference between us and them, 
purifying their hearts by faith. 

10 Now, therefore, why tempt ye God, d to put a 
yoke upon the neck of the difciples, which neither our 
fathers nor we were able to bear ? 

11 But we believe, that, through the grace of the 
Lord Jems Chrift, we fhall be favedeven as they. 

12 1 Then all the multitude kept lilence, and gave 
audience to. Barnabas and Paul, declaring what mir- 
acles and wonders God had wrought among the Gen- 
tiles by them. 

13 If And, after they had held their peace, James 
anfwered, faying, Men and brethren, hearken unto me : 

14 Simeon hath declared how God at the firft did 
vifit the Gentiles, to take out of them a people for his 
name. 

15 And to this agree the words of the prophets : as 
it is written, 

16 e After this I will return, and will build again the 
tabernacle of David which is fallen down ; and I will 
build again the ruins thereof, and I will fet it up ; 

17 That the relidue of men might feek after the 
Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my name is 
called, faith the Lord, who doeth all thefe things. 

18 Known unto God are all his works from the 
beginning of the world. 

19 Wherefore my fentence is, that we trouble not 
them which from among the Gentiles are turned to 
God: 

20 But that we write unto them, that they abftain 
from pollutions of idols, and from fornication, and 
from things ftrangled, and from blood. 

21 For Moles of old time hath in every city them 
that preach him, being read in the fynagogues every 
fabbath day. 

22 U Then pleafed it the apoftles and elders, with 
the whole church, to fend chofen men of their own 
company to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas ; name- 
ly, Judas, furnamed Barfabas, and Silas, chief men 
among the brethren : 

23 And they wrote letters by them after this man- 
ner : The apoftles, and elders, and brethren, send 
greeting unto the brethren which are of the Gentiles 
in Antioch, and Syria, and Cilicia : 

24 Forafmuch as we have heard that certain which 
went out from us, have troubled you with words, fub- 
verting your fouls, faying, Te must be cireumcifed, 
and keep the law ; to whom we gave no such com- 
mandment : 

25 It leemed good unto us, being affembled with 
one accord, to fend chofen men unto you with our 
beloved Barnabas and Paul : 

25 Men that have hazarded their lives for the name 
of our Lord Jefus Chrift. 

27 We have fent, therefore, Judas and Silas, who 
fha!l alfo tell you the fame things by mouth. 

28 For it feemed good to the Holy Ghoft, and ta 
us, to lay upon you no greater burden than thefe nec- 
eflliry things ; 

29 That ye abftain from meats offered to idols, and 
fromblood, and from things ftrangled, and from for- 
nication : from which if ye keep yourfelves, ye fhall 
do well. Fare ye well. 

30 So, when they were difmiffed, they came to 
Antioch ; and, when they had gathered the multitude 
together, they delivered the epiftle : 



Paul and Timothy go to Macedonia.

31 Which when they had read., they rejoiced for the 
|| confoiation. 

32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets alfo them- 
felves, exhorted the brethren with many words, and 
confirmed them. 

33 And after they had tarried there a fpace, they were 
let go in peace from the brethren unto the apoftles. 

34Notwithftanding itpleafed Silas to abide there ftill. 

35 Paul alfo and Barnabas continued in Antioch, 
teaching and preaching the word of the Lord, with 
many others alfo. 

36 II And fome days after, Paul faid unto Barnabas, 
Let us go again and vifit our brethren in every city 
where we have preached the word of the Lord, and 
sec how they do. 

37 And Barnabas determined to take with them 
John, whofe furname was Mark. 

38 But Paul thought not good to take him with 
them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and 
went not with them to the work. 

39 And the contention was fo fharp between them, 
that they departed afunder one from the other : and fo 
Barnabas took Mark, and failed unto Cyprus ; 

40 And Paul chofe Silas, and departed, being rec- 
ommended by the brethren unto the grace of God. 

41 And he went through Syria and Cilicia, con- 
firming the churches. 

CHAP. XVI. 
1 Paul, having circumcised Timothy, and taken him 
for his companion, passeth through divers countries: 
14 he converteth Lydia at Philippi, andcasteth out 
a spirit of divination : 19 he and Silas are beaten and 
imprisoned. 25 The prison doors opened by an earth- 
quake; the jailor converted, 35 and 'they are delivered. 
THEN came he to Derbe and Lyftra ; and, behold, 
a certain difciple was there, a named Timotheus, 
the fon of a certain woman which was a Jewels, and 
believed ; but his father was a Greek : 

2 Which was well reported of by the brethren that 
were at Lyftra and Iconium. 

3 Him would Paul have to go forth with him ; and 
took and cireumcifed him, becaufe of the Jews which 
w r ere in thofe quarters : for they knew all that his 
father was a Greek. 

4 And as they went through the cities they delivered 
them the decrees for to keep, b that were ordained of b chap, 
the apoftles and elders which were at Jerufalem. 15 2 

5 And fo were the churches eftablifhed in the faith, 
and increaied in number daily. 

6 Now, when they had gone throughout Phrygia, 
and the region of Galatia, and were forbidden of the 
Holy Ghoft to preach the word in Aha, 

7 After they were come to Myiia, they allayed to 
go into Bithynia : but the Spirit fufferedthem not. 

8 And they, palling by Myfia, came down to Troas. 

9 H And a vilion appeared to Paul in the night : 
There flood a man of Macedonia, and prayed him, 
faying, Come over into Macedonia, and help us. 

10 And after he had feen the vifion, immediately 
we endeavoured to go into Macedonia, affuredly 
gathering that the Lord had called us for to preach the 
gofpel unto them. 

11 Therefore, loofingfrom Troas, we came with a

chief city of that part of Macedonia, and a colony: 
and we were in that city abiding certain days. 

13 And on the fabbath, we went out of the city 
by a river lide, where prayer was wont to be made ; and 
we fat down and fpake unto the women which refort- 
ed thither. 

14 If And a certain woman, _ named Lydia, a feller 
of purple, of the city of Thyatira, which worihipped 
God, heard us : whofe heart the Lord opened, that fhe 
attended unto the things which were fpoken of Paul. 

15 And when fhe was baptized, and her houfehold, 
fhe befought us, faying, If ye have judged me to be 
faithful to the Lord come into my houfe, and abide 
there. And fhe conftrained us. 

16 If And it came topafs,as we wenttoprayer, a cer- 
tain damfel, pollened ofafpirit |j of divination, met us, 
which brought her mailers much gain by fqothfaying : 

17 The fame followed Paul and us, and cried, faying, 
Thefe men arethe fervantsof the molt high God, which 
fhew unto us the way of falvation. 

18 And this did fhe many days. But Paul, being 
grieved, turned, and faid to the fpirit, I command thee 
in the name of Jefus Chrift to come out of her. And 
he came out the fame hour. 

19 If And when her mailers faw that the hope ©f 
their gains was gone , they caught Paul and Silas, and 
drew them into the || market place unto the rulers, 

20 And brought them to the magiltrates, laying, 
Thefe men, being Jews, doexceedingly trouble ourcity, 

21 And teach cufloms which are not lawful for us 
to receive, neither toobferve, being Romans. 

22 And the multitude role up together againft them ; 
and the magiltrates rent off their clothes, c and com- 
manded to beat them. 

23 And when they bad laid many flripes upon them, 
they call them into prifon, charging the jailor to keep 
them fafely : 

24 Who having received fuch a charge, thrufl them 
into the inner prifon, and made their feet fall in the 
flocks. 

25 If And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and 
fang praifes unto God : and the prifoners heard them. 

26 And fuddenly there was a great earthquake, fo 
that the foundations of the prifon were lhaken ; and 
immediately all the doors were opened, and every 
<one's bands were loofed. 

27 And the keeper of the prifon awaking out of his 
fleep, and feeing the prifon doors open, he drew out 
bis ftvord, and would have killed himfelf, fuppoling 
that the prifoners bad been fled, 

28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, faying, Do 
tbyfelf no harm ; for we are all here. 

29 Then he called for a light, and fprang in, and 
came trembling, and fell down before Paul and Silas : 

30 And brought them out, and faid, Sirs, what 
muft I do to be faved ? 

31 And they faid, Believe on the Lord Jefus Chrift, 
and thou fhalt be faved, and thy houfe. 

32 And they fpake unto him the word of the Lord, 
and to all that were in his houfe. 

33 And he took them the fame hour of the night, 
and wafhed their flripes, and was baptized, he and 
all his, ftraightway. 

34 And when he had brought them into his houfe, 
he fet meat before them, and rejoiced, believing in God 
with all his houfe. 



Paul and Silas preach at Berea*. 

35 If And when it was daj^, the magiftrates fent the 
ferjeants, faying, Let thofe men go. 

36 And the keeper of the prifon told this faying to 
Paul, The magiltrates have fent to let you go : now, 
therefore depart, and go in peace. 

37 But Paul faid unto them, They have beaten us 
openly uncondemncd, being Romans, and have cafl us 
into prifon ; and now do they thrufl us out privily ? nay, 
verily ; but let them come themfelves and fetch us out. 

38 And the ferjeants told thefe words unto the mag- 
iltrates : and they feared when they heard that they 
were Romans. 

39 And they came and befought them, and brought 
them out, and defired them to depart out of the city. 

40 And they went out of the prifon, d and entered d Ver,r <« 
into the house of Lydia : and when they had feen the 
brethren, they comforted them> and departed. 

CHAP. XVII. 
1 Paul preaching at Thessalonica, somebclieve. 5 The 
Jews raise an uproar. 10 Paul and Silas sent to 
Berca. 13 Being persecuted at Thessalonica, Paul 
cometh to Athens : 22 he preacheth the living God, 
to the Athenians unknoivn ; his general call to re- 
pentance, &c. 

NOW, when they had paffed through Amphipolis, 
and Apollonia, they came to Thelfalonica, where 
was a fynagogue of the Jews : 

2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, 
and three fabbath days reafoned with them out of the 
fcriptures, 

3 Opening and alledging, that Chrift muft needs 
have fuffered, and rifen again from the dead : and that 
this Jefus, whom I preach unto you, is Chrift. 

4 And fome of them believed, and confor ted with 
Paul and Silas : and of the devout Greeks a great 
multitude, and of the chief women not a few. 

5 U But the Jews which believed not, moved with 
envy, took unto them certain lewd fellows of the bafer 
fort, and gathered a company, and fet all the city on an 
uproar, and affaulted the houfe of Jafon, and fought to 
bring them out to the people. 

6 And when they found them not, they drew Jafon, 
and certain brethren unto the rulers cf the city, cry- 
ing, Thefe that have turned the world upfide down 
are come hither alfo : 

7 Whom Jafon hath received : and thefe all do 
contrary to the decrees of Cefar, laying, That there is 
another king, one Jefus. 

8 And they troubled the people, and the rulers of 
the city, when they heard thefe things. 

9 And when they had taken fecurity of Jafon, and 
of the other, they let them go. 

10 If And the brethren immediately fent awajr Paul 
and Silas by night unto Berea: w'uo coming thither, 
went into the fynagogue of the Jews. * 

11 Thefe were more noble than thofe in Thelfalon- 
ica, in that they received the word with all readinefs 
of mind, and fearched the fcriptures daily, whether 
thofe things were lb. 

12 Therefore many of them believed ; alfo of hon- 
ourable women which were Greeks, and of men not a 
few. 

13 If But when the Jews of Thelfalonica had knowl- 
edge that the word of God was preached of Paul at Be- 
rca, they came thither alfo, and ftirred up the people. 

14 And then immediately the brethren fent away"

Paul, to go as it were to the fea 
Timotheus abode, there ftill. 

15 And they that conducted Paul brought him un- 
to Athens : and receiving a commandment unto Silas 
and Timotheus for to come to him with all fpeed, 
they departed. 

16 1f_Now, while Paul waited for them at Athens 
his fplrit was ftirred in him, when he law the city 
|| wholly given to idolatry. 

17. Therefore difputed he in the fynagogue with 
the Jews, and with the devout perfons, and in the 
market daily with them that met with him. 

18 Then certain philofophers of the Epicureans, 
and of the Stoicks, encountered him : and fomc laid, 
What will this || babbler fay ? other fome, He fecmeth 
to be a fetter forth of ftrange gods ; becaufe he preach- 
ed unto them Jefus, and the refurreelion. 

19 And they took him, and brought him unto 
|| Areopagus, faying, May we know what this new 
doclrine, whereof thou fpeakeil, is ? I 

.20 For thou bringeft certain ftrange things to our 
ears : we would know, therefore, what thefe things 
mean. 

2 1 (For all the Athenians , and flrangers which were 
there, fpent their time in nothing elie, but either to 
tell or to hear fome new thing.) 

22 % Then Paul Hood in the midft of || Marfhill, 
and faid, Te men of Athens, I perceive that in ail 
things ye are too fuperllitious. 

23 For as I palled by, and beheld your II devotions, 
I found an altar with this infeription, TO THE 
UNKNOWN GOD. Whom, therefore, ye ig- 
norantly worfhip, him declare I unto you. 

24 * God that made the world, and all things there- 
in, feeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwell- 
eth not in temples made with hands ; 

25 Neither is worfhipped with men's hands, b as 
though he needed any thing, feeing he giveth to all 
life, and breath, and all things : 

26 And hath made of one blood all nations of men, 
for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath de- 
termined the times before appointed, and the bounds 
of their habitation ; 

27 That they ihould feek the Lord, if haply they 
might feel after him, and find him, though he be not 
far from every one of us : 

28 For in him we live, and move, and have our be- 
ing; as certain alfo of your own poets have faid, For 
we are alfo his offspring. 

29 Forafmuch then as we are the offspring of God, 
c we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto 



rold, 



lilver, or itone, graven by art and man's 



6 wxv., or 
device. 

30 And the times of this ignorance God winked at ; 
but now commandeth all men every where to repent : 

31 = Becaufe he hath appointed a day in the which 
he will judge the world in righteoufnefs by thai man 
whom he hath ordained ; •whereof he hath || given 
afTurance unto all men, in that he hath raifed him from 
the dead. 

32 "[f And when they heard of the refurreclion of 
the dead, fome mocked; and others faid, We will 
hear thee again of this matter. 

33 So Paul departed from among them. 

34 Howbeit, certain men clave unto him, and be- 
lieved ; among the which w as Dionyfius the Areopa-

them. 

CHAP. XVIII. 

1 Paul labouretb with his hands, and preacheth at Co- 
rinth, first to the yews, and then to the Gentiles : 9 he 
is encouraged by the Lord in a vision: 12 he is ac- 
cused by the Jews before Gallio the deputy, but As 
dismissed. 18 Paul p asset h from city to city, con- 
firming the disciples. 24 Apollos cometh to Epbe.sus; 
being instructed more perfectly by Aquila and Pris- 
cilia, he preacheth Christ %vith great efficacy. 

AFTER thefe things, Paul departed irom Athens,, 
and came to Corinth ; 

2 And found a certain Jew, named a Aquila, bom 
in Pontus, lately come from Italy, with his wife Prif- 
cilla, (becaufe that Claudius had commanded all Jews 
to depart from Rome,) and came unto them. 

3 And becaufe he was of the fame craft, he abode 
with them, and wrought : (for by their occupation 
they were tent makers.) 

4 And he realbned in the fynagogue every fabbath, 
and perfuaded the Jews and the Greeks. 

5 And, when Silas and Timotheus were come from 
Macedonia, Paul was preii'ed in fpirit, and teitified to 
the Jews, that Jefus was Chriit. 

6 And when they oppoled themfelves, and blafphe- 
med, b he ihook his raiment, and faid unto them, 
Your blood be upon your own heads ; I am clean : 
from henceforth I will go unto ine Gentiles. 

7 And he departed thence, and entered into a cer- 
tain mail's houfe, named Julius, one that worfhipped 
God, whole houle joined hard to the fynagogue. 

8 c And Crifptis, the chief ruler of the fynagogue, 
believed on the Lord with ail his houfe ; and many of 
the Corinthians hearing, believed, and were baptized. 

. 9 If Then fpake the Lord to Paul in the night by a 
vifion, Be not afraid, but fpeakj and hold not thy 
peace : 

10 For I am with thee, and no man fhall fet on thee 
to hurt thee ; for I have much people m this city. 

1 1 And he f continued there a year and lix months, 
teaching the word of God among them. 

12 II And when Gallio was the deputy of Achia, 
the Jews made infurreclion with one accord againft 
Paul, and brought him to the judgment feat. 

13 Saying, This fellow perfuadeth men to worfhip 
God contrary to the law. 

14 And, when Paul was now about to open his 
mouth, Gallio faid unto the Jews, If it were a matter 
of wrong, or wicked lewdnefs, O ye Jews ! reafon 
would that I fhduld bear with you : 

15 But if it be a queftion of words, and names, and 
ofyowr law, look ye to it ; for I will be no judge of 
fuch matters. 

16 And he drave them from the judgment feat. 

17 1 hen all the Greeks took Soithenes, the chief 
ruler of the fynagogue, and beat him before the judg- 
ment feat : and Gallio cared for none of thofe things. 

18 U And Paul after this tarried there yet a good 
while, and then took his leave of the brethren, and 
failed thence into Syria, and with him Prifcilla and 
Aquila, having fhorn his head in Cenchrea ; for he had 
a vow. 

19 And he came to Ephefus, and left them there : 
but he himfelf entered into the fynagogue, and reafon- 
ed with the Jews.

20 When they defired him to tarry longer time 
with them, he confented not ; 

21 But bade them farewell ; faying - , I mull by all 
means keep this feaft that cometh in Jerufalem : but 
I will return again unto you, d if God will. And he 
failed from Ephefus. 

22 And when he had landed at Cefarea, and gone 
up and fainted the church, he went down to Antioch. 

23 And after he had (pent fome time there, he de- 

farted, and went over all the country of Galatia and 
'hrygia, m order, llrengthening ail the difciples. 

24 % e And a certain Jew, named Apoiios. born at 
Alexandria, an eloquent man, w/c/ mighty in the fcrip- 
tures, came to Ephefus. 

25 This man was inftrucled in the way of the Lord, 
and, being fervent in the fpirit, he fpake and taught 
diligently the things of the Lord, knowing only the 
baptifm of John. 

26 And he began to fpeak boldly in the fynagogue : 
whom when Aquila and Prifcilla had heard, they 
took him wito them, and expounded unto him the 
way of God more perfectly. 

27 And when he was difpofed to pafs into Achaia, 
the brethren wrote, exhorting the difciples to receive 
him : who, when he was come, helped them much 
which had believed through grace : 

28 For he mightily convinced the Jews, and thatpxib- 
licly, (hewing by the fcriptures that Jefus was Chrift. 

CHAP. XIX. 
1 Paidfindeth disciples at Ephesus ; they receive the 
Holy Ghost: 8 be preaeheth there for two years, God 
confirming the word by special miracles. 13 Certain 
J ewish exorcists for attempting a miracle are obliged 
to fly away naked and wounded ; the gospel received 
by many, and magical books burned. 21 Demetrius 
and the silversmiths raise an uproar against Paul, 
which is appeased by the town clerk. 

AN D it came to pafs, that, while Apollos was at 
Corinth, Paul, having paffed through the upper 
coafts, came to Ephefus ; and finding certain difciples, 

2 He faid unto them, Have ye received the Holy 
Ghoft lince ye believed ? And they faid unto him, 
We have not fo much as heard whether there be any 
HolyGhoft. 

3 And he faid unto them, Unto what then were ye 
baptized ? And they faid, Unto John's baptifm. 

4 Then faid Paul, a John verily baptized with the 
baptifm of repentance, faying unto the people, that 
they fhould believe on him which fhould come after 
him, that is, on Chrift Jefus. 

5 When they heard this, they were baptized in the 
name of the Lord Jefus. 

6 And, when Paul had laid bis hands upon them, 
the Holy Gholt came on them ; and they fpake with 
tongues, and prophelied. 

7 And all the men were about twelve. 

8 1i And he went into the fynagogue, and fpake bold- 
ly for thefpace of three months, difputing and perfuad- 
ing the things concerning the kingdom of God. 

9 But when divers were hardened, and believed 
not, but fpake evil of that way before the multitude, 
he departed from them, and fcparated the difciples, 
difputing daily in the fchool of one Tyrannus. 

10 And this continued by the fpace of two years ; 
fo that all they which dwelt in Alia, heard the word 
of the Lord Jefus, both Jews and Greeks. 



1 1 And God wrought fpecial miracles by the hands 
of Paul: 

12 So that from his body were brought unto the 
lick, handkerchiefs or aprons, and the difeafes depart- 
ed from them, and the evilfpirits went out of them. 

13 c il Then certain of the vagabond Jews, exorcilts, A - D- 5? ' 
took upon them to call over them which had evil fpir- 

its, the name of the Lord Jefus, faying, We adjure 
you by Jefus, whom Paul preaeheth. 

14 And there were feven ions of one Sceva a Jew, 
and chief of the priefts, which did fo. 

15 And the evil fpirit anfwered and faid, Jefus I 
know, and Paul I know : but who are ye ? 

16 And the man in whom the evil fpirit was, leaped 
on them, and overcame them, and prevailed againlt 
them, fo that they fled out of that houfe naked and 
wounded, 

17 And this Avas known to all the Jews and Greeks 
alfo dwelling at Ephefus ; and fear fell on them ail, 
and the name of the Lord Jefus was magnified. 

18 And many that believed came, and confeffed, 
and (hewed their deeds * 

19 Many_ of them alfo which ufed curious arts 
brought their books together, and burned them be- 
fore all men : and they counted the price of them, and 
found it fifty thouiknd pieces of (ilver. 

20 So mightily grew the word of God, anel pre- 
vailed. 

21 IF After thefe things were ended, Paul purpofed a.d. 55 , 
in the fpirit, when he had paffed through Macedonia, 

and Achaia, to go to Jerufalem, faying, After I have 
been there, I muft alio fee Rome. 

22 So he fent into Macedonia two of them that 
miniftered unto him, Timotheus and Eraftus ; but he 
himfelf flayed in Alia for a feafon. 

23 And the fame time there arofeno fmall ftir about 
that way. 

24 For a certain man, named Demetrius, a filver- 
fmith, which made iilver (hrines for Diana, brought 
no fmall gain unto the craftfmen ; 

25 Whom he called together, with the workmen of 
like occupation, and faid, Sirs, ye know that by this 
craft we have our wealth. 

^ 26 Moreover, ye fee and hear, that not alone at 
Ephefus, but almoft throughout all Alia, this Paul 
hath perfuaded and turned away much people, faying, 
that they be no gods which are made with hands : 

27 So that not only this our craft is in danger to be 
let at nought ;. but alfo that the temple of the great 
goddefs Diana fhould be defpifed, and her magnifi- 
cence fhould be deftroyed, whom all Alia and the 
world worlhippeth. 

28 And when they heard these sayings, they were 
full of wrath, and cried out, faying, Great is Diana of 
the Ephelians. 

29 And the whole city was filled with confulion : 
and, having caught Gains and Ariftarchus, men of 
Macedonia, Paul's companions in travel, they ruined 
with one accord into the theatre. 

30 And when Paul would have entered in unto the 
people, the difciples fuffered him not. 

31 And certain of the chief of Afia, which were 
his friends, fent unto him, defiring him that he would- 
not adventure himfelf into the theatre. 

32 Some, therefore, cried one tiling, and fome an- 
other ; for the alfembly was confided ; and the more

part knew not wherefore they were come together. 

33 And the}? drew Alexander out of the multitude, 
the Jews putting him forward. And Alexander beck- 
oned with the hand, and would have made his defence 
unto the people. 

34 But when they knew that he was a Jew, all with 
one voice, about the fpace of two hours, cried out, 
Great is Diana of the Ephefians. 

35 And when the town clerk had appeafed the peo- 
ple, he faid, Te men of Ephefus, what man is there 
that knoweth not how that the city of the Ephefians 
is f a worihipper of the great goddefs Diana, and of 
the irriage^ which fell down from Jupiter ? 

36 Seeing then that thefe things cannot be fpoken 
againft, ye ought to be quiet, and to do nothing rafhly. 

37 For ye have brought hither thefe men, which 
are neither robbers of churches, nor yet blafphemers 
of your goddefs. 

38 Wherefore if Demetrius, and the craftimen 
which are with him, have a matter againft any man, 
J[ the law is open, and there are deputies ; let them 
implead one another. 

39 But if ye inquire any thing concerning other 
matters, it fhall be determined in a || lawful affembly. 

40 For we are in danger to be called in queftion 
for this day's uproar, there being no caufe whereby 
we may give an account of this concourfe. 

41 And when he had thus fpoken, he difmiffed the 
affembly. 

CHAP. XX. 

1 Paul goeth to Macedonia, and afterwards cometb to 
Troas : 7 he preacheth long ana brcaketh bread. 17 
At Miletus Paid calleth the elders of the church of 
Ephesus to him, and, taking a solemn and affection- 
ate leave of them, committeth God 's flock to them, 
and commendeth them to God^s grace : 36 heprayeth 
with them, and departcth. 

AND after the uproar was ceafed, Paul called unto 
him the difciples, and embraced them, and de- 
parted for to go into Macedonia. 

2 And when he had gone overthofe parts, and had 
given them much exhortation, he came into Greece, 

3 And there abode three months ; and when the 
Jews laid wait for him, as he was about to fail into 
Syria, he purpofed to return through Macedonia. 

4 And there accompanied him into Afia Sopater 
of Berea ; and of the Theffalonians, Ariftarchus and 
Secundus ; and Gaius of Derbe, and Timotheus ; 
and of Alia, Tychicus and Trophimus. 

5 Thefe, going before, tarried for us at Troas. 

6 And we' failed away from Philippi after the days 
of unleavened bread, and came unto them to Troas 
in five days ; where we abode feven days. 

7 H And upon the firft day of the week, when the 
difciples came together a to break bread, Paul preach- 
ed unto them, ready to depart on the morrow ; and 
continued his fpeech until midnight. 

8 And there were many lights in the upper cham- 
ber where they were gathered together. 

9 And there fat in a window a certain young man 
named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep fleep : and, 
as Paul was long preaching, he funk down with fleep, 
and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up 
dead. 

10 And Paul went down, and fell on him, and, em- 



bracing him, faid, Trouble not yourfelves ; for his life 
is in him. 

11 When he, therefore, was come up again, and 
had broken bread, and eaten, and talked a long while, 
even till break of day, fo he departed. 

12 And they brought the young man alive, and 
were not a little comforted. 

13 Tf And we went before to fhip, and failed unto 
Alios, there intending to take in Paul : for fo had he 
appointed, minding himfelf to go afoot. 

14 And when he met with us at Affos, we took him 
in, and came to Mitylene. 

15 And we failed thence, and came the next day 
over againft Chios ; and the next day we arrived at 
Samos, and tarried at Trogyllium ; and the next day 
we came to Miletus. 

16 For Paul had determined to fail by Ephefus, 
becaufe he would not fpend the time in Alia :~ for he 
hafted, if it were poflible for him, to be at Jerufalem 
the day of Pentecoft. 

17 \ And from Miletus he fent to Ephefus, and 
called the elders of the church. 

18 And when they were come to him he faid, unto 
them, Ye know from the firft day that. I came into 
Afia, after what manner I have been with you at all 
feafons, 

19 Serving the Lord with all humility of mind, and 
with many tears, and temptations which befel me by 
the lying in wait of the Jews : 

20 And how I kept back nothing that was profita- 
ble unto you, but have Ihewed you, and have taught 
you publicly, and from houfe to houfe. 

21 Teftifying both to the Jews, and alfo to the 
Greeks, repentance toward God, and faith toward 
our Lord Jefus Chrift. 

22 And now, behold, I go bound in the fpirit unto 
Jerufalem, not knowing the things that fhall befall me 
there ; 

23 Save that the Holy Ghoft witneffeth in every

24 But none of thefe things move me ; neither 
count I my life dear unto myfelf, fo that I might finiih 
my courfe with joy, and the miniftry which I have 
received of the Lord Jefus, to teftify the gofpel of the 
grace of God. 

25 And now, behold, I know that ye all, among 
whom I have gone preaching the kingdom of God, 
fhall fee my face no more. 

26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I 
am pure from the blood of all men. 

27 For I have not fliunned to declare unto you all 
the counfel of God. 

28 Take heed, therefore, unto yourfelves, and to all 
the flock over the which the Holy Ghoft hath made 
you overfeers, to feed the church of God which he 
hath purchafed with his own blood. 

29 For I know this,that after my departing lhall 
grievous wolves enter in among you, not fparing the 
flock. 

30 Alfo of your ownfelves lhall men arife, fpeaking 
perverfe things, to draw away difciples after them. 

31 Therefore watch, and remember, that, by the 
fpace of three years, I ceafed not to warn eveiy one 
night and day with tears. 

32 And now, brethren, I commend you to God,

member the words of the Lord Jefus, how he faid, 
It is more bleffed to give than to receive. 

36 IF And when he had thus fpoken, he kneeled 
down, and prayed with them all. 

37 And they all wept fore, and fell on Paul's neck, 
and killed him ; 

38 Sorrowing moft of all for the words which he 
fpake, that they fhould fee his face no more. And 
thev accompanied him unto the fliip. 

CHAP. XXI. 
1 Paul journeying, cometh to doe house of Philip the 
evangelist, whose four daughters prophesied. 10 
Agabus foretelleth Paul his danger. 17 Paul com- 
eth to Jerusalem ; 27 where he is set upon by the 
Jews of Asia, but rescued by the chief captain : 
37 he requesteth, and is permitted, to speak to the 
people. 

N D it came to pafs, that after we were gotten 
from them, and had launched, we came with a 
ftraight courfe unto Coos, and the day following unto 
Rhodes, and from thence unto Patara : 

2 And finding a fhip failing over unto Phenicia, we 
went aboard, and fet forth. 

3 Now, when we had difcovered Cyprus, we left it 
on the left hand, and failed into Syria, and landed at 
Tyre : for there the lhip was to unlade her burden. 

4 And, finding difciples, we tarried there feven 
days ; who faid to Paul, through the Spirit, that he 
fhould not go up to Jerufalem. 

5 And, when we had accomplifhed thofe days, we 
departed, and went our way ; and they all brought us 
on our way, with wives and children, till we were out 
of the city : and we kneeled down on the fhore, and 
prayed. 

6 And when we had taken our leave one of another, 
we took fhip ; and they returned home again. 

7 And when we had finifhed our courfe from Tyre, 
we came to Ptolemais, and faluted the brethren, and 
abode with them one day. 

8 And the next day, we that were of Paul's compa- 
ny, departed, and came unto Cefarca ; and we entered 
into the houfe of Philip the evangelift, ( a which was 
one of the feven,) and abode with him. 

9 And the fame man had four daughters, virgins, 
which did prophefy. 

10 II And as Ave tarried there many days, there came 
down from Judea a certain prophet, named Agabus. 

_ 11 And when he was come unto us, he took Paul's 
girdle, and bound his own hands and feet, and laid, 
Thus faith the Holy Ghoft, So fhall the Jews at Jeru- 
falem bind the man that owneth this girdle, and lhall 
tleliver him into the hands of the Gentiles. 

12 And, when we heard thefe things, both we and 
they of that place befought him not to go up to Jeru- 
falem. 

13 Then Paul anfwered, What mean ye to weep, 
and to break mine heart ? for I am ready not to be 



bound only, but alfo to die at Jerufalem, for the name 
of the Lord Jefus. 

14 And when he would not be perfuaded, we ceaf- 
ed, faying, The will of the Lord be done. 

15 And after thole days we took up our carriages, 
and went up to Jerufalem. 

16 There went with us alfo certain of the difciples 
ofCefarea, and brought with them one Mnafon of 
Cyprus, an olddiiciple, with whom we fhould lodge. 

17 T And when we were come to Jerufalem, the 
brethren received us gladly. 

18 And the day following Paul went in with us un- 
to James ; and all the elders were prefent. 

19 And, when he had faluted them, he declared 
particularly what things God had wrought among the 
Gentiles by his miniltry. 

20 And when they heard it, they glorified the Lord, 
and faid unto him, Thou feeft, brother, how many 
thoufands of Jews there are which believe ; and they 
are all zealous of the law : 

21 And they are informed of thee, that thou teach- 
eft all the Jews which are among the Gentiles to for- 
fake Mofes, faying, that they ought not to circumcife 
their children, neither to walk after the cuftoms. 

22 What is it therefore ? the multitude mult needs 
come together : for they will hear that thou art come. 

23 Do, therefore, this that we fay to thee : We 
have four men which have a vow on them ; 

24 Them take, and purify thyfelfwith them, and 
be at charges with them, that they may b fhave their 
heads : and all may know that thole things, whereof 
they were informed concerning thee, are nothing ; 
but that thou thyfelf alfo walked orderly, and keepeft 
the law. 

25 As touching the Gentiles which believe, c we 
have written and concluded, that they obferve no 
fuch things, lave only that they keep themfeives from 
things offered to idols, and from blood, and from 
ftrangled, and from fornication. 

26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day pu- 
rifying himfelf with them, entered into the temple, 
d to fignify the accomplifhment of the days of purifi- 
cation, until that an offering fliould be offered for 
every one of them. 

27 HAnd, whenthefeven days were almoft ended, the 
Jews which were of Afia, when they faw him in the 
temple^ ftirred up all the people, and laid hands on him, 

28 Crying out, Men of Ifrael, help : this is the man 
that teacheth all men every where againft the people, 
and the law, and this place ; and further, brought 
Greeks alfo into the temple, and hath polluted this 
holy place. 

29 (For they had feen before with him in the city, 
Trophimus an Ephefian, whom they fuppofed that 
Paul had brought into the temple.) 

30 And all the city was moved, and the people ran 
together ; and they took Paul, and drew him out of 
the temple ; and forthwith the doors were fhut. 

31 And, as they went about to kill him, tidings 
came unto the chief captain of the band, that all Je- 
rufalem was in an uproar ; 

32 Who immediately took foldiers and centurions, 
and ran down unto them : and when they faw the chief 
captain and the foldiers, they left beating of Paul. 

33 Then the chief captain came near, and took him, 
and commanded him to be bound with two chains ;

and demanded who he was, anel what he had done ? 

34 Anel fome cried one thing, feme another, among 
the multitude ; and, when he could not know the cer- 
tainty for the tumult, he commanded him to be car- 
ried into the callle. 

55 And when he came upon the flairs, fo it was that 
he was borne of the foidiers, for the violence of the 
people. 

36 For the multitude of the people followed after, 
crying, Away w-ith him. 

37 And as Paul was to be led into the caftle, he faid 
unto the chief captain, May I fpeak unto thee ? Who 
laid, Canfl thou lpeak Greek ? 

38 e Art not thou that Egyptian, which before thefe 
days maelefl an uproar, and leddeft out into the wil- 
dernels four thoufand men that were murderers ? 

39 But Paul faid, I am a man which am a Jew of 
Tarfus, a city of Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city : 
and I befeech thee fuffer me to fpeak unto the people. 

40 And, when he had given him licenfe, Paul Hood 
on the flairs, and beckoned with the hand unto the 
people. And when there was made a great lilenee, 
he fpake unto them in the Hebrew tongue, faving, 

C H A P. XXII. 
1 Paid declareth the manner of his conversion, and call 
to the apostleship. 22 At the very mentioning of the 
Gentiles, the people exclaim furiously against him : 
25 he avoideth scourging by claiming the privilege 
of a Roman citizen : 50 he is brought before the 
Jewish council. 

MEN, brethren, and fathers, hear ye my defence, 
which I make now unto you. 

2 (And when they heard that he fpake in the He- 
brew tongue to them, they kept the more filence : and 
he faith,) 

3 a I am verily a man which am a Jew, born in Tar- 
fus, a city of Cilicia, yet brought up in this city at the 
feet of Gamaliel, and taught according to the perfeevt 
manner of the law of the fathers, and was zealous to- 
ward God, as ye all are this day. 

4 b And I perfecuted this way unto the death, bind- 
ing and delivering into prifons both men and women. 

5 As alfo the high priefldoth bear me witnefs, and 
all the eflate of the elders : from whom alfo I received 
letters unto the brethren, and went to Damafcus, to 
bring them which were there, bound unto Jerufalem, 
for to be punifheel. 

6 And it came to pafs, that, as I made my journey, 
and was come nigh unto Damafcus about noon, fud- 
denly there fhone from heaven a great light round 
about me, 

7 And I fell unto the ground, and heard a voice 
faying unto me, Saul, Saul, why perfecutefl thou me ? 

8 And I anfwered, Who art thou, Lord ? And he 
faid unto me, I am Jefus of Nazareth, whom thou 
perfecutefl. 

9 And they that were with me faw indeed the 
light, and were afraid ; but they heard not the voice 
of him that fpake to me. 

10 And I faid, What fhall I do, Lord ? Anel the 
Lord faid unto me, A rife, and go into Damafcus ; 
and there it fhall be tokl thee of all things which are 
appointed for thee to do. 

11 And when I could not fee for the glory of that 
yght, being led by the hand of them that were with 
pie, I came into Damafcus. 



he is brought before the Jewish council. 

12 And one Ananias, a devout man, according to 
the law, having a good report of all the Jews which 
dwelt there, 

13 Came unto me, and flood, and faid unto me, 
Brother Saul, receive thy fight. And the fame hour 
I looked up upon him, 

14 And he faid, The God of our fathers hath chofen 
thee, that thou fhouldeft know his will, and fee that 
J ufl One, and fhouldeft hear the voice of his mouth. 

15 For thou fhalt be his witnefs unto all men of 
what thou haft feen and heard. 

16 And now why tarrieft thou ? arife, anchbebap- 
tized, and wafh away thy fins, calling on the name 
of the Lord. 

17 And it came to pafs, that, when I was come 
again to Jerufalem, even while I prayed in the temple, 
I was in a trance ; 

18 And law him faying unto me, Make hafle, and 
get thee quickly out of Jerufalem : for they will not 
receive thy teflimony concerning me. 

19 And I faid, Lord, they know that I imprifoned 
and beat in every fynagogue them that believed on 
thee : 

20 c And when the blood of thy martyr Stephen c 9 t ha p 
was fried, I alfo was Handing by, and confenting unto 

his death, anel kept the raiment of them that flew him. 

21 And he faid unto me, Depart: for I will fend 
thee far hence unto the Gentiles. 

22 U And they gave him audience unto this word, 
and then lifted up their voices, and faid, Away with 
fuch a fellow from the earth ; for it is not fit that he 
fhould live. 

23 And as they cried out, and call off their clothes, 
and threw duft into the air, 

24 The chief captain commanded him to be brought 
into the caftle, and bade that he fhould be examined 
by fcourging ; that he might know wherefore they 
cried fo againft him. 

25 If And, as they bound him with thongs, Paul 
faid unto the centurion that flood by, Is it lawful for 
you to fcourge a man that is a Roman, and uncon- 
demned ? 

26 When the centurion heard that, he went and 
told the chief captain, faying, Take heed what thou 
doeft : for this man is a Roman. 

27 Then the chief captain came, and faid unto him, 
Tell me, art thou a Roman ? He faid, Yea. 

28 And the chief captain anfwered, With a great 
fum obtained I this freedom. And Paul faid, But I 
was free born. 

29 Then flraightway they departed from him which 
fhould have || examined him : and the chief captain 
alfo was afraid, after he knew that he was a Roman, 
and becaufe he had bound him. 

30 H On the morrow, becaufe he would have known 
the certainty wherefore he was accufed of the Jews, 
he loofed him from his bands, and commandeel the 
chief priefts anel all their council to appear, and 
brought Paul down, and fet him before them.

conspiracy against Paul, discovered : C HA P. 

AN D Paul, earneftly beholding the council, faid, 
Men and brethren, I have lived in all good con- 
icience before God until this day. 

2 And the high prieft Ananias commanded them 
that ftood by him, to finite him on the mouth. 

3 Then laid Paul unto him, God lhali finite thee, 
thou vvhited wall : for iitteft thou to judge me after the 
law, and commanded me to be fmitten contrary to 
the law ? 

4 And they that flood by faid, Revileft thou God's 
high priefl ? 

5 Then faid Paul, I wifl not, brethren, that he was 
the high prieft : for it is written, a Thou (halt not 
ipeak evil of the ruler of thy people. 

6 1f But when Paul perceived that the one part were 
Sadducees, and the other Pharifees, he cried out in 
the council, Men and brethren, b I am aPharifee, the 
fon of a Pharifee : c of the hope and refurreCtion of the 
dead I am called in queflion. 

7 And when he had fb faid, there arofe a diffenfion 
between the Pharifees and the Sadducees : and the 
multitude was divided. 

8 d For the Sadducees fay that there is no refurrec- 
tion, neither angel nor fpirit ; but the Pharifees confefs 
both. 

9 And there arofe a great cry : and the fcribes that 
were of the Pharifees' part arofe, and ftrove, faying, 
We find no evil in this man : but if a fpirit or an angel 
hath fpoken to him, let us not fight againft God. 

10 If And when there arofe a great diffenfion, the 
chief captain, fearing left Paul fhould have been pulled 
in pieces of them, commanded the foldiers to go down, 
and to take him by force from among them, and to 
bring him into the caftle. 

11 And the night following, the Lord flood by him, 
and faid, Be of good cheer, Paul ; for as thou haft tef- 
tified of me in Jerufalem, fo muft thou bear witnefs 
alfo at Rome. 

12 If And, when it was day, certain of the Jews 
banded together, and bound themfelves || under a 
curfe, faying, That they would neither eat nor drink 
till they had killed Paul. 

13 And they were more than forty which had made 
this confpiracy. 

14 And they came to the chief priefls and elders, 
and faid, We have bound ourfelves under a great curfe, 
that we will eat nothing until we have flain Paul. 

15 Now, therefore, ye with the council fignify to 
the chief captain, that he bring him down unto you 
tomorrow, as though ye would inquire fomething 
more perfectly concerning him ; and we, or ever he 
come near, are ready to kill him. 

16 And when Paul's lifter's fon heard of their lying 
in wait, he went and entered into the caftle, and told 
Paul. 

17 Then Paul called one of the centurions unto 
him, and faid, Bring this young man unto the chief 
captain : for he hath a certain thing to tell him. 

18 So he took him and brought him to the chief 
captain, and faid, Paul the prifoner called me unto him, 
and prayed me to bring this young man unto thee, 
who hath fomething to fay unto thee. 

19 Then the chief captain took him by the hand, 
and went with him afide privately, and afkccl him, 
What is that thou haft to tell me ? 

20 And he faid, The Jews have agreed to defire

thee, that thou wouldefl bring down Paul to tomorrow 
into the council, as though they would inquire fo me- 
what of him more perfectly. 

21 But do not thou yield unto them : for there lie 
in wait for him of them more than forty men, which 
have bound themfelves with an oath, that they will 
neither eat nor drink till they have killed him : and. 
now are they ready, looking for a promife from thee. 

22 So the chief captain then let the young man de-. 
part, and charged him. See thou tell no man that thou 
haft fhewed thefe things to me. 

23 If And he called unto him two centurions, faying, 
Make ready two hundred foldiers to go to Cefarea, 
and horfemen threefcore and ten, and fpearmen two 
hundred, at the third hour of the night ; 

24 And provide them beafts, that they may fet Paul 
on, and bring him fafe unto Felix the governor. 

25 And he wrote a letter after this manner : 

26 Claudius Lyfias unto the moft excellent gover- 
nor Felix, sendeth greeting. 

27 This man was taken of die Jews, and fhould 
have been killed of them : then came I with an army, 
and refcued him, having underftood that he was a 
Roman. 

28 And when I would have known the caufe where- 
fore they accufed him, I brought him forth into their 
council ; 

29 Whom I perceived to be accufed of queftions 
of their law, but to have nothing laid to his charge 
worthy of death or of bonds. 

30 And when it was told me how that the Jews 
laid wait for die man, I fent ftraightway to thee, and 
gave commandment to his accufers alfo to fay before 
thee what they had againft him. Farewell. 

31 Then the foldiers, as it was commanded them, 
took Paul, and brought himby night to Antipatris. 

32 On the morrow they left the horfemen to go with 
him, and returned to the caftle : 

33 Who, when they came to Cefarea, and delivered 
the epiftle to the governor, prefented Paul alfo before 
him. 

34 And when the governor had read the letter, he 
afked of what province he was. And when he under- 
ftood that he was of Cilicia ; 

35 1 will hear thee, faid he, when thine accufers 
are alfo come. And he commanded him to be kept 
in Herod'sjudgment hall. 

CHAP. XXIV. 
1 Paul is accused before ■ Felix by Tertullus : 10 he 
answereth in defence of his life and doctrine. 22 The 
hearing is deferred. 24 Paul preaching freely before 
the governor, and his wife, Felix trembleth. 26 The 
governor hopethfor a bribe from Paul to release him, 
but in vain ; and, going out of his office, leaveth him 
bound. 

AN D after five days, Ananias the high prieft de- 
fcended with the elders, and with a certain ora- 
tor, named Tertullus, who informed the governor 
againfl Paul. 

2 And, when he was called forth, Tertullus began 
to accufe him, faying, Seeing that by thee we enjoy 
great quietnefs, and that very worthy deeds are done 
unto this nation by thy providence, 

3 We accept it always, and in all places, moft noble 
Felix, with all thankfulnefs.

unto thee, I pray thee, that thou wculdefl hear us'of 
thy clemency a few words. 

5 For we have found this man a peftilent fellow, 
and a mover of fedition among all the Jews throughout 
the world, and a ringleader of the feet of the Naza- 
renes : 

6 Who alfo hath gone about to profane the temple; 
whom we took, and would have judged according to 
our law : 

7 But the chief captain Lynas came upon us, and 
with great violence took him away out of our hands, 

8 Commanding his accufers to come unto thee ,-. re- 
examining of whom, thyfelf mayeft take knowledge of 
all thefe things whereof we accufe him. 

9 And the Jews alfo affented, faying, That thefe 
things were fo. 

10 If Then Paul, after that the governor had beckon- 
ed unto him to fpeak, anfwered, Forafmuchas I know 
that thou hall been of many years a judge unto this 
nation, I do the more cheerfully anfvver for myfelf : 

11 Becaufe that thou mayeft underftand, tliat there 
'are yet but twelve days fince I went up to Jerufalem 

for to worfhip. 

12 And they neither found me in the temple difput- 
ing with any man, neither raifmg up the people, neither 
in the lynagogues, nor in the city : 

13 Neither can they prove the things whereof they 
now accufe me. 

14 But this I confefs unto thee, that after the way 
which they call herefy, fo worfhip I the God of my 
fathers, believing all things which are written in the 
law, and in the prophets : 

15 And have hope toward God, which they them- 
felves alfo allow, that there, fhall be a refurreclicn of 
the dead, both of the jnft and unjuft. 

16 And herein do I exercife myfelf, to have always 
a conference void of offence toward God, and toward 
men. 

17 Now, after many years, I came to bring alms to 
my nation, and offerings. 

18 a Whereupon certain Jews from Afia found me 
purified in the temple, neither with multitude nor with 
tumult : 

19 Who ought to have been here before thee and 
object, ifthey had aught againfl me. 

20 Or elfe let thefe fame here fay, ifthey have found 
any evil doing in me while I flood before the council. 

21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried 
flanding among them, b Touching the refurrection of 
the dead I am called in queflion by you this day. 

22 If And when Felix heard thefe things, having 
more perfect knowledge of that way, he deferred them, 
and faid, When Lyfias the chief captain fhall come 
down, I will know the uttermofl of your matter. 

23 And he commanded a centurion to keep Paul, 
and to let him have liberty, and that he fhoulcl forbid 
none of his acquaintance to minifler or come unto 
him. 

24 If And after certain days, when Felix came with 
his wife Drufilla, which was a Jewefs, he fent for Paul, 
and heard him concerning the faith in Chrifl. 

25 And as he reafoned of righteoufnefs, temper- 
ance, and judgment to come, Felix trembled, and an- 
fwered, Go thy way for this time ; when I have a con- 
venient feafon I will call for thee. 

26 If He hoped alfo that money fhoulcl have been

he fent for him the oftener, and communed with him. 
27 But after two years Porcius Feftus came into 
lehx' room : and Felix, willing to (hew the Jews a A - D - 62 * 
pleafure,; left Paul bound. 

CHAP. XXV. 
1 The Jews accuse Paul before Festus, both at Jeru- 
salem and at Cesarea : 8 he answer eth for himself 
and appealeth to Cesar. 13 Festus openeth the mat- 
ie> to king Agrippa. 23 \ Paul is brought forth ; 25 
festus declarcth he found nothing in him worthy of 
death. J 

O W when Feftus was come into the province, 
after three days he afcended from Cefarea to Je- 
rufalem. 

2 Then the high prieft, and the chief of the Jews, 
informed him againfl Paul, and befought him, 

3 And defired favour againfl him, that he would 
fend for him to Jerufalem, laying wait in the way to 
kill him* 

4 But Feftus anfwered, that Paul fhould be kept 
at Cefarea, and that he himfelf would depart fhorcly 
thither. 

5 Let them, therefore, faid lie, which among you

6 And when he had tarried among

next day, fitting on the judgment feat, 
Paul to be brought. 

7 And when he was come, the lews which came 
down from Jerufalem flood round about, and laid 
many and grievous complaints againfl Paul, which 
they could not prove : 

8 If While he anfwered for himfelf, Neither againfl 
the law of the Jews, neither againfl the temple, nor 
yet againfl Cefar, have I offended any thing at all. 

9 But Feflus, willing to do the Jews a pleafure, an- 
fwered Paul, and faid, Wilt thou go up to Jerufalem, 
and there be judged of thefe things before me ? 

10 Then faid Paul,! ftand at Cefar's judgment feat, 
where I ought to be judged : to the Jews have I done" 
no wrong, as thou very well knoweft. 

11 For if I be an offender, or have committed any 
thing worthy of death, I refufe not to die : but if there 
be none of thefe things whereof thefe accufe me, 
no man may deliver me unto them. I appeal unto 
Cefar. 

12 Then Feflus, when he had conferred with the 
council, anfwered, Haft thou appealed unto Cefar ? 
unto Cefar (halt thou go. 

13 If And after certain days, king Agrippa and Ber- 
nice came unto Cefarea to falute Feflus. 

14 And when they had been there many days, Fef- 
tus declared Paul's caufe unto the king, faying, There 
is a certain man left hi bonds by Felix : 

15 About whom, when I was at Jerufalem, the 
chief priefts and the elders of the Jews informed me y 
defiring to have judgment againfl him. 

16 To whom I anfwered, It is not the manner of 
the Romans to deliver any man to die before that he 
which is accufed have the accufers face to face, and 
have licenfe to anfwer for himfelf, concerning the 
crime laid againfl him.

out any delay, on the morrow I fat on the judgment 
feat, and I commanded the man to be brought forth : 

18 Againft whom, when the accufers flood up, they 
brought none accufation of fuch things as I fuppofed : 

19 But had certain queltions againft him of their 
own fuperftition, and of one Jefus, which was dead, 
whom Paul affirmed to be alive. 

20 And beeaufe || I doubted of fuch manner of quelt- 
ions, I afked him whether he would go to Jerufalem, 
and there be judged of thefe matters. 

21 But when Paul had appealed to be referved 
unto the || hearing of Auguftus, I commanded him 
to be kept till I might fend him to Cefar. 

22 Then Agrippa faid unto Feftus, I would alfo 
hear the man myfelf, Tomorrow, faid he, thou (halt 
hear him. 

23 \ And on the morrow, when Agrippa was come, 
and Bernice, with great pomp, and was entered into 
the place of hearing, with the chief captains, and 
principal men of the city, at Feltus' commandment 
Paul was brought forth. 

24 And Feftus faid, King Agrippa, and all men 
which are here prefent with us, ye fee this man, 
about whom all the multitude of the Jews have dealt 
with me, both at Jerufalem, and also here, crying, 
that he ought not to live any longer. 

25 But when I found that he had committed noth- 
ing worthy of death, and that he himfelf hath appealed 
to Auguftus, 1 have determined to fend him. 

26 Of whom I have no certain thing to write unto 
my lord. Wherefore I have brought him forth before 
you, and specially before thee, O king Agrippa, that, af- 
ter examination had, I might have fomewhat to write. 

27 For it feemeth to me unreafonable to fend a 
prifoner, and not withal to fignify the crimes laid 
againft him. 

C H A P. XXVI. 
1 Paul, in Agrippa' s presence, declareth his life from 
his childhood, his wonderful conversion, and call to the 
apostleship. 24 Festus chargeth Paul with mad- 
ness ; 25 his modest reply, end address to Agrippa ; 

28 Agrippa^s answer. 30 The whole company 
pronounce him innocent. 

THEN Agrippa faid unto Paul, Thou art permit- 
ted to fpeak for thyfelf. Then Paul ftretched 
forth the hand, and anfwered for himfelf. 

2 I think myfelf happy, king Agrippa, beeaufe I 
ihall anfwer for myfelf this day before thee, touching 
all the things whereof I am accufed of the Jews ; 

3 Especially because Lhnow thee to be expert in all 
cuftoms and queftions which are among the Jews : 
wherefore I befeech thee to hear me patiently. 

4 My manner oflife from my youth, which was at 
the firft among mine own nation at Jerufalem, know 
all the Jews ; 

5 Which knew me from the beginning, (if they 
would teftify, - ) that, after the moft ftraiteft feci of our 
religion, I lived a Pharifee. 

6 And now I Hand and am judged for the hope of 
the promife made of God unto our fathers : 

7 Unto which promise our twelve tribes, inflantly 
ferving God day and night, hope to come : for which 
hope's fake, king Agrippa, I am accufed of the Jews. 

8 Why fhould it be thought a thing incredible with 
you, that God fhould raife the dc^d :

9 I verily thought with myfelf, that I ought to do 
mairy things contrary to the name of Jefus of Nazareth. 

10 a Which thing I alfo did in Jerufalem : and many ^Ch^.83! 
of the faints did I fhut up in prilbn, having received 
authority from the chief priefts ; and when they were 

put to death, I gave my voice againft them. 

11 And 1 punifhed them oft in every fynagogue, 
and compelled them to blafpheme : and, being ex- 
ceedingly mad againft them, I perfecuted them even 
unto ftrange cities. 

12 b Whereupon, as I went to Damafcus with au- bchap.93. 
thority and commifiion from the chief priefts, 

13 At midclay, O king, Ifawinthe way a light 
from heaven, above the brightnefs of the fun, fhining 
round about me, and them which journeyed with me. 

14 And, when we were all fallen to the earth, I 
heard a voice fpeaking unto me, and faying in the 
Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why perfeeuteft thou me ? 
It is hard for thee to kick againft the pricks. 

15 And I faid, Who art thou, Lord ? And he faid, 
I am Jefus, whom thou perfecuteft. 

16 But rife, and ftand upon thy feet : for I have 
appeared unto thee for this purpofe, to make thee a 
minifter and a witnefs, both of thefe things which 
thou haft feen, and of thofe things in the which I will 
appear unto thee ; 

17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the 
Gentiles, unto whom now I fend thee, 

18 To open their ey es, azz^to turn them from darknefs 
to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that 
they may receive forgivenefs of fins, and inheritance 
among them which are fanclified by faith that is in me. 

_ 19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not difobe- 
dient unto the heavenly viiion : 

20 But fhewed, firft unto them of Damafcus and 
at Jerufalem, and throughout all the coafts of Judea, 
and then to the Gentiles, that they fhould repent and 
turn to God, and do works meet for repentance. 

21 For thefe caufes the Jews caught me in the tem- 
ple, and went about to kill me. 

22 Having, therefore, obtained help of God, I con- 
tinue unto this day, witneffmg both to fmall and 
great, faying none other things than thofe which the 
prophets and Moles did fay fhould come ; 

23 That Chrift fhould fuffer, andxhzt he fhould be 
the firft that lhould rife from the dead, and fhould 
fhew light unto the people, and to the Gentiles. 

24 IF And as he thus fpake for himfelf, Feftus faid 
Avith a loud voice, Paul, thou art befide thyfelf; much 
learning doth make thee mad. 

25 But he faid, I am not mad, moll noble Feftus ; 
but fpeak forth the words of truth and fobernefs. 

26 For the king know eth of thefe things, before 
w r hom alfo I 
none of thefe 



fpeak freely: for I am perfuaded that 
things are hidden from him ; for this 



thing was not done in a corner. 

27 King Agrippa, believeft thou the prophets ? I 
know that thou believeft. 

28 Then Agrippa iaid unto Paul, Almoft thou pcr- 
fuadeftme to be a Chriflian. 

29 And Paul laid, I would to God, that not only 
thou, but alfo all that hear me this day, were both al- 
moft and altogether fuch as I am, except thefe bonds. 

30 And, when he had thus fpoken, the king role 
up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they that fat

Cefar.

forteth those in the ship with assurance of their lives, 
but foretelleth the shipwreck. 

WD when it was determined that we fhould fail 
into Italy, they delivered Paul, and certain other 

pin jiiers, unto one named Julius, a centurion of Au- 

guftus' band. 

2 And entering into a fhip of Adramyttium, we 
launched, meaning to fail by the coaft of Alia, one Arif- 
tarchus, a Macedonian of Thefialonica, being with us.- 

3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. And 
Julius courteoufly entreated Paul, and g-axe him lib- 
erty to go unto his friends to refreih himfelf. 

4 And when we had launched from thence , we fail- 
ed under Cyprus, becaufe the winds were contrary. 

5 And when we had failed over the fea of Ciiicia 
and Pamphyiia,- we came to Myra, a city of Lycia. 

6 And there the centurion found a fhip of Alexan- 
dria failing into Italy ; and he put us therein. 

7 And when we had failed flowly many days, and 
fcarce were come over againft Cnidus, the wind not fuf- 
feringus,we failedunder || Crete, over againft Salmone. 

8 And, hardly palling it, came unto a place which 
is called, The Fair Havens, nigh whereunto was the 
city o/Lafea. 

9 1l Now, when much time was fpent, and when 

^Jo/rtfe fai^g was now dangerous, becaufe * the fafl was now 

oTtheiel already paft, Paul admoniihed them, 

entk month. 10 And faid unto them, Sirs, I perceive that this

hfwy. of the lading and fhip, but alfo of our lives. 

1 1 Neverthelefs, the centurion believed the mafter 
and the owner of the ihip more than thofe things 
which were fpoken by Paul. 

12 IT And, becaufe the haven was not commodious 
to winter in, the more part advifed to depart thence 
alfo, if by any means they might attain to Phenice, 
and there to winter : vjhich is an haven of Crete, and 
lieth toward the fouth welt, and north weft, 

13 And when the fouth wind blew foftly, fuppofing 
that they had obtained their purpofe, looiing thence, 
they failed clofe by Crete.

ed Clauda, Ave had much work to come by the boat ; 

17 Which when they had taken up, they ufed 
helps, undergirding the fhip ; and, fearing left they 
fhould fall into the quickfands, ftrake fail, and fo were 
driven. 

18 And we, being exceedingly toffed with a tem- 
peft, the next day they lightened the fhip ; 

19 And the third day we call out with our own 
bands the tackling of the fhip.

Ij appeared, and no fmail tempeft lay on us, all hope that 
we I houid be fayed was then taken away. 

21 H But, after long abftinence, Paul flood forth in 
the midll of them, and laid, Sirs, ye fhould have 
learkened unto me, and not have loofed from Crete, 
and to have gained chis harm and lolls. 

22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer : for 
there fhall be no lofs of any marts life among you,

23 For there flood by me this night the angel of 
God, whofe I am, and whom I ferve, 

24 Saying, Fear not, Paul ; thou mufl be brought 
before Cefar : and, lo, God hath given thee all them 
that fail with thee. 

25 Wherefore, firs, be of good cheer: for I be- 
lieve God, that it fhall be even as it was told me. 

26 Howbeit, we mufl be caft upon a certain ifland. 

27 But when the fourteenth night was come, as 
we were driven up and down in Adria, about mid- 
night the fhipmen deemed that they drew near to 
fome country ; 

28 And founded, and found it twenty fathoms ; and 
when they had gone a little further, they founded 
again, and found it fifteen fathoms. 

29 Then, fearing left they ihouid have fallen upon 
rocks, they call four anchors out of the ftera, and 
wiflied for the day. 

30 And as the fhipmen were about to flee out of the 
fhip, when they had let down the boat into the fea, 
under colour as though they would have caft anchors 
out of the forefhip. 

31 Paul faid to the centurion, and to the foldiers, 
Except thefe abide in the fhip, ye cannot be faved. 

32 Then the foldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, 
and let her fall off. 

33 And, while the day was coming on, Paul be- 
fought them all to take meat, faying, This day is the 
fourteenth day that ye haA'e tarried and continued 
faffing, having taken nothing. 

34 Wherefore I pray you to take some meat ; for 
this is for 5"our health : for there fhall not an hair fall 
from the head of any of you. 

35 And when he had thus fpoken, he took bread, 
and gave thanks to God in pretence of them all : and 
when he had broken it, he began to eat. 

36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they alfo 
took some meat. 

37 And we were in all in the fhip two hundred 
threefcore and fixteen fouls. 

38 And when they had eaten enough, they lighten- 
ed the fhip, and caft out the wheat into the fea. 

39 And when it was day, they knew not the land : 
but they difcovered a certain creek with a fhore, into 
the which they were minded, if it were poffible, to 
thruft in the fhip.. 

40 And when they had || taken up the anchors, they \^f a ^f hoti 
committed themselves unto die fea, and loofed the rud- \hlyuft" s 
der bands, and hoifed up the mainfail to the wind, t !£! , £'f hl 
and made toward fhore. 

41 And, falling into a place where two feas met, 
they ran the fhip aground : and the fore part fluck 
fafl, and remained unmoveable, but the hinder part 
was broken with the violence of the waves. 

42 And the foldiers' counfel was to kill the prifon- 
ers, left any of them fhould fwim out and efcape.

hand, and hurttth him not : 7 he healeth many- dis- 
eases in the iihnd : 1 1 they depart toward Pome : 
17 he dec/a re th ike cause of his coming : 23 he 
preacheth Christ; some believe* and some believe not : 
30 he continueth to preach there nuo years. 

N D when they were efcaped, then they knew 
that the ifland was called Melita. 

2 And the barbarous people {hewed us no little kind- 
nefs : for they kindled a fire, and received us everyone, 
becaufe of the prcfent rain, and became of the cold. 

3 If And when Paul had gathered a bundle of flicks . 
and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of 
the heat, and faftened on his hand. 

4 And, when the barbarians law the venomous beaft 
hang on his hand, they faid among themfelves, No 
doubt this man is a murderer, whom, though he hath 
efcaped the fea, yet vengeance fufiereth not to live. 

5 And he ihook off the beaft into the fire, and felt 
no harm. 

6 Howbeit, they looked when he fhould have fwol- 
len, or fallen down dead fuddeniy : but after they had 
looked a great while, and faw no harm come to him, 
they changed their minds, and faid that he was a god. 

7 11 In the fame quarters were poffeffions of the chief 
man of the ifland, whofe name was Publius, who re- 
ceived us, and lodged us three days courteoufly. 

8 And it came to pafs, that the father of Publius 
lay fick of a fever and of a bloody flux : to whom 
Paul entered in, and prayed, and laid his hands on 
him, and healed him. 

9 So when this was done, others alfo which had 
difeafes in the ifland, came, and were healed ; 

10 Who alfo honoured us with many honours ; 
and, when we departed, they laded us with fuch tilings 
as were neceffary. 

11 TT And after three months we departed in a fhip 
of Alexandria, which had wintered in die ifle, whole 
lign was Caflor and Pollux. 

12 And landing at Syracufe, we tarried there three 
days. 

13 And from thence we fetched a compafs, and 
came to Rhegium : and after one day the fouth wind 
blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli ; 

14 Where we found brethren, and were defired to 
tarry with them feven days : and fo we went toward

as, they came to meet us as far as Appii Forum, 
and the' Three Taverns ; whom when Paul faw, he 
thanked God, and took courage. 

16 And, when we came to Rome, the centurion 
delivered the prifoners to the captain of the guard : 
but Paul was fuffered to dwell by himfelf with a fol- 
dier that kept him. 

17 If And it came to pafs, that, after three days, 
Paul called die chief of the Jews together, and,' when 
they were come together, he faid unto them, Men 
and brethren, though I have committed nothing 
againft the people or cuftoms of our_ fathers, yet was- 
I delivered prilbner from Jernfalem into the hands of- 
the Romans ; 

18 Who, when they had examined me, would have 
let me go, becaufe there was no caufe of death in me. 

19 But when the Jews fpake againft it, I was con- 
ftrained to appeal unto Cefar ; not that I had aught to 
accaufe my nation of. 

20 For this caufe therefore have I called for you, 
to fee you, and to fpeak with you ; becaufe tiiat for 
the hope of Ifrael I am bound with this chain. 

21 And they faid unto him, We neither received 
letters out of Judea concerning thee, neitlier any of 
the brethren that came fhewed or fpake any harm of 
thee. 

22 But Ave defire to hear of thee what thou think - 
eft : for as concerning this feet:, we know that every 
where it is fpoken againft. 

23 TT And when they had appointed him a day, there 
came many to him into his lodging ; to whom he ex- 
pounded and teftified the kingdom of God, perfuading 
them concerning Jefus, both out of the law of Mofes, 
and out of the prophets, from morning till evening. 

24 And fome believed the things which were 
fpoken, and fome believed not. 

25 And when they agreed not among themfelves, 
they departed, after that Paul had fpoken one word, 
W T ell {pake the Holy Gholl by Efaias.the prophet 
unto our fathers, 

26 Saying, a Go unto this people, and fay, Hearing 
ye ihall hear, and lhall not underftand ; and feeing ye 
lhall fee, and not perceive. 

27 For the heart of this people is waxed grofs, and 
j their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they 
I clofed ; left they ihould fee with their eyes, and hear 
' with their ears, and underftand with their heart, and 

fliould be converted, and I ihould heal them. 

28 Be it known, therefore, unto you, that the fal- 
I vation of God is fent unto the Gentiles, and that they 

will hear it. 

29 And when he had faid thefe words, the Jews de- 
parted, and had great reafoning among themfelves. 

30 IT And Paul dwelt two whole years in liis own 
hired houfe, and received all that came in unto him, 

31 Preaching the kingdom of God, and teaching 
thofe things which concern the Lord Jefus Clirift 
with all confidence, no man forbidding liim.

16 he shelve th that the gospel is for the justification 
of all mankind through faith: 18 having premised 
that all sinners arc liable to God's wrath, he describ- 
eth the Gentiles' 1 sins. 

AUL, a fervaht of Jefus Chrift, called to be an

in the holy fcriptures,) 

3 Concerning his Son Jefns Chrift our Lord, which 
was made of the feed of David according to thefkih, 

4 And j declared to be the Son of God with power, 
according to the Spirit of holinefs, by the refurrection 
from the dead ; 

5 By whom we have received grace and apoftle- 
fhip, || for obedience to the faith among all nations for 
his name ; 

6 Among whom are ye alfo the called of Jefus Chrift: 

7 To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called 
to be faints : Grace to you, and peace, from God our 
Father, and the Lord Jefus Chrift. 

8 Firit, I thank my God through Jefus Chrift for 
you all, that your faith is ipoken of throughout the 
whole world. 

9 For Gdd is my witnefs, whom I ferve || with my 
fpirit in the gofpel of his Son, that without ceafmg I 
make mention of you always in my prayers, 

10 Making requeft, (if by any means now at length 

I might have a profperous journey by the will of God,) 
to come unto you. 

1 1 For I long to fee you , that I may impart unto you 
fome fpiritual gift to the end ye may be eftablifhed ; 

12 That is, that I may be comforted together 
|| with you, by the mutual faith both of you and me. 

13 Now, 1 would not have you ignorant, brethren, 
that oftentimes I purpofed to come unto you, (but 
was let hitherto,) that I might have fome fruit 

II among you alio, even as among other Gentiles. 

14 I am debtor both to the Greeks and to the Bar- 
barians, both to the wife and to the unwife. 

15 So, as much as in me is,I am ready to preach 
the golpel to you that are at Rome alfo. 

16 For I am not afhamed of the gofpel of Chrift : 
for it is the power of God unto falvatioh to every one : 
that believeth ; to the Jew firft, and alfo to the Greek. 

17 For therein is the righteoufnefs of God revealed 
from faith to faith : as it is written, b The juft fhall 
live by faith. 

18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven, 
againft all ungodlinefs and unrighteoufnefs of men, 
who hold the truth in unrighteoulhefs : 

19 Became that which may be known of God, is 
monifeft || in them: for God hath fhewed it unto them. 

20 For the invisible things of him from the creation 
of the world are clearly feen, being underilood by the 
things that are made, even his eternal power and God- 
head ; || fo that they are without excufe : 

21 Becaufe that, "when they knew God, they glori- 
fied him not as God, neither were thankful ; but be-

of their error which was meet. 

28 And even as they did not like || to retain God in 
their knowledge, God gave them over to |j a reprobate 
mind, to do thoie things which are not convenient : 

29 Being filled with all unrighteoufnefs, fornication, 
wickednefs, covetoufnefs, malicioulhefs : full of envy, 
murder, debate, deceit, malignity ; whifperers, 

30 Backbiters, haters of God, defpiteful, proud, 
boafters, inventors of evil tilings, difobedient to par- 
ents. 

31 Without underftanding, covenant breakers, 
|| without natural affeclion, implacable, unmerciful: 

32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they 
which commit fuch things are worthy of death, not 
only do the lame, but || have pleafure in them that do 
them. 

C FI A P. II. 

1 They that condemn sin in others, and are guilty of 
' the like themselves, cannot escape God^s judgment, 
6 which will be according to every mati's deserts, 
whether Jew or Gentile. 14 The Gentiles not left 
without a rule of conduct : 17 the Jews who boast of 
greater light, doubly criminal in sinning against it. 

25 Of circumcision without keeping the law. 

THEREFORE, thou art inexcuiable, O man, 
whofoever thou art that judgeft : a for wherein 
thou judgeft another, thou condemneft thyfelf ; for 
thou that judgeft dceft the fame things. 

2 But we are lure that the judgment of God is accord- 
ing to truth againft them which commit fuch things. 

3 And thinkeft thou this, .O man, that judgeft them 
which do fuch things, and doeft the fame, that thou 
ihaltefcape the judgment of God ? 

4 Or defpifeft thou the riches of his goodnefs, and 
forbearance, and long fuffering ; not knowing that the 
goodnefs of Goclleadeth thee to repentance ? 

5 But after thy hardnefs and impenitent heart, b treaf- b r Jf mw 
ureft up unto thyfelf wrath againft the day of wrath J 
and revelation of the righteous judgment of God ;

, and wrath ; 

9 Tribulation and anguifh, upon every foul of. man 
that doetli evil ; of the Jew firft, and alio of the 
t Gentile ; 

10 But glory, honour, and peace, to every man 
that worketh good ; to the Jew firft; and alfo to the 
t Gentile : 

11 For d there is no refpeci ofperfons with GocL 

12 For as many as have finned without law, fhall 
alfo perHh without law ; and as many as have finned 
in the law, fhall be judged by the law ; 

13 (For £ not the hearers of the law arejuft before 
God, but the doers of the law fhall be juftified : 

14 For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, 
do by nature the things contained in the lav/, thefe, 
having not the law, are a law unto themfelves : 

15 Which fliew the work of the law written in their 
hearts, || their confeience alfo bearing witnefs, and 
their thoughts || the mean while accufmg or elie ex- 
cufmg one another ;J 

16 In the day when God fhall judge the fecrets of 
men by Jefus Chrift, according to my gofpel. 

17 Behold, thou art called a Jew, and refteft in the 
law, and makeft thy boaft of God, 

1 8 Andknoweft/fe will, and Hand approveflthe things 
thatare more excellent, beinginftructed out of the law ; 

19 And art confident that thou thyfelf art a guide of 
the blind, alight of them, which ore in darknefs, 

20 An inftruelor of the fcolifh, a teacher of babes, 
which hall the form of knowledge, and of the truth in 
the law: 

21 Thou, therefore, which teacheft another, teacheft 
thou not thyfelf ? thou that preacher! a man fhould 
not Ileal, doft thou Ileal r 

22 Thou that fayeft a man fhould not commit adul- 
tery, doll thou commit adultery ? thou that abhorreft 
idols, doll thou commit facrilege ? 

23 Thou that makeft thy boaft of the law, through 
breaking the law diflionourcft thou God ? 

24 For the name of God is blafphemed among the 
Gentiles through you, as it is f written. 

25 For circumciiion verily profiteth, if thou keep 
the law : but if thou be a breaker of the Jaw, thy cir- 
cumcifion is made uncireumcifion. 

26 Therefore if the uncireumcifion keep the right- 
eoufhefs 01 the law, fhall not his uncireumcifion be 
counted for circumcifion ? 

27 And fhall not uncireumcifion which is by nature, 
if it fulfil the law, judge thee, who by the letter and 
circumcifion doft tranfgrefs the law ? 

28 For he is not a Jew which is one outwardly ; nei- 
ther is tha tc\vcumdll.oii which is outward in the fiefh : 

29 But he is a Jew,, which is one inwardly ; and cir- 
cumcifion is that of tne heart, in the fpirit, and not in 
the letter ; whole praife is not of men, but of God. 

CHAP. III. 
1 The yews' 1 prerogative, 3 which is not vacated by 
the unbelief of some. 9 The law universally convinc- 
eth the Jews also of sin ; 20 so that no flesh is jus- 
tified by the deeds of the law, 21 but all indiscrimi- 
nately by faith in Christ, &fc. 

WHAT advantage then hath the Jew ? or what 
profit is there of circumcifion ? 
2 Much every way ; chiefly, becaufe that unto them 
were committed the oracles of God.

juftified in thy fayingsj and mighteft overcome when 
thou || art judged. 

5 But if our unrighteoufnefs- commend the right-

eous who taketh vengeance ? (I fpeak as a man.) 

6 God forbid 1 for then how ihall God judge the

7 For if the truth of God hath more abounded 
through my lie unto his glory, why yet am I alio judg- 
ed as a firiner ? 

8 And not rather, (as we be flanderoufly reported, 
and as fome affirm that we fay,). Let us do evil that 
good may come ? whofe damnation is juft. 

9 What then ? are we better than they ? No, in no 
wife : for we have before f proved both Jews and 
Gentiles, that they are all under fin : 

10 As it is written, c There is none righteous, no, 
not one :. 

11 There is none that under Pcandeth, there is none 
that feeketh after God. 

12 They are all gone out of the way, they are to- 
gether become unprofitable : there is non§ that doeth 
good, no. not one, 

13 d Their throat is an open fepulchre ; with their 
tongues they have ufed deceit ; e the poifon of afbs is

14 f Whofc mouth is Ml of curfmgand bitternefs: 

15 s Their feet are fwift to flied blood : 

16 DcftruClion and mifery are in their ways ; 

17 And thevvay of peace have they not known : 

18 h There is no fear of God before their eyes. 

19 Now we know, that what things foever the law 
faith, it faith to them who are under the law ; that 
every mouth may be flopped, and all the world may 
become |j guilty before God. 

20 Therefore ; by the deeds of the law there fhall 
no flefh be juftified in his fight : for by the law is the 
knowledge of I'm. 

21 But now the righteoufhefs of God without the 
law is manifefted, being witneffed by the law and the 
prophets : 

22 Even the righteoufhefs of God which is by faith 
of Jefus Chrift unto all and upon all them that believe ; 
for there is no difference : 

23 For all have finned, and come fliort of the glory 
of God ; 

24 Being juftified freely by his grace, through the 
redemption that is in Chrift Jefus :

that he might be juft, and the juuifier of him which 
beiieveth in Jefus. 

27 Where is boafting then ? It is excluded. By 
what law ? of works ? Nay ; but by the law of faith. 

28 Therefore wc conclude, that a man is juftified

domini cumcifion by faith, and uncircumcifion through faith. 
, 3 1 Do we then make void the law through fait.n ? 
God forbid : yea, we eftablilli the law. 

CHAP. IV, 
1 Abraham himself \vas justified by 'faith ; 9 which was 
imputed to him for righteousness before circumcision, 
that be might be the common father of believers, 
whether circumcised or not. 13 The promise was not 
given him through the law, but being of faith, by 
grace is sure to all the seed, &c. 

HAT iliall we then fay, that Abraham, our 
father as pertaining to the flefh, hath found ? 

2 For if Abraham were juilified by works, he hath 
whereof to glory, but not before God. 

3 For what faith the fcripture ? a Abraham believed 
God, and it was counted unto him for righteoufnefs. 

4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reck- 
oned of grace, but of debt : 

5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on 
him that juilifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted 
for righteoufnefs. 

. 6 Even as David alfo defcribeth the bleffednefs of 
the man unto whom God imputeth righteoufnefs with- 
out works, 

7 Saying b Blefled are they whofe iniquities are 
forgiven, and whofe fins are covered. 

8 Bleffed is the man to whom the Lord will not 
impute fin. 

9 Cometh this bleffednefs then upon the circumcif- 
ion only, or upon the uncircumcifion alfo ? for we fay 
that faith was reckoned to Abraham for righteoufnefs. 

10 How was it then reckoned ? when he was in 
circumciiion, or in uncircumcifion ? Not in circum- 
cifion, but in uncircumcifion. 

11 And he received thelign of circumcifion, a feal 
of the righteoufnefs of the faith which he had, yet being 
uncircumcifed ; that he might be the father of all them, 
that believe, though they be not circumcifed, that 
righteoufnefs might be imputed unto them alfo ; 

12 And the father of circumcifion to them who are 
not of the circumcifion only, but who alfo walk in the 
fteps of that faith of our father Abraham, which he 
had, being yet uncircumcifed. 

13 For the promife that he fhould be the heir of the 
world, was not to Abraham, or to his feed, through 
the law, but through the righteoufnefs of faith. 

14 For if they which are of the law be heirs, faith 
is made void, and the promife made of none effecl : 

15 Becaufe the law worketh wrath : for where no 
law is, there is no tranfs;reffion. 

16 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace ; 
to the end the promife might be fure to all the feed ; 
not to that only which is of the law, but to that alfo 
which is of the faith of Abraham, who is the father 
of us all. 

17 (As it is written, c I have made thee a father of 
many nations,) [| before him whom he believed, even 
God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth thofe 
things which be not as though they were : 

18 Who'againft hope believed in hope, that he 
might become the father of many nations; according 
to that which was fpoken, d So fhall thy feed be. 

19 And, being not weak in faith, heconfidered not 
his own body apwdead,when he was about an hundred 
^ear s old, neither yet the deadnefs of Sara's womb : 

4%20 He daggered not at the promife of God through

unbelief; but was ftroiig in faith, giving glory to God. 

21 And being fully perfuaded, that what he had 
promifed he -was able alfo to perform. 

22 And therefore it was imputed to him for right, 
eouihefs. 

23 Now, it was not written for his fake alone, that 
it was imputed to him ; 

24 But for us alfo, to whom it iliall be imputed, if 
we believe on him that raifcd up Jcfus our Lord from 
the dead ; 

25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was 
railed again for our j unification. 

C H A P. V. • 

1 Being justified by faith, we have peace with God / 2 
and glory\in our hopes ; 3 and in present afflictions ; 
6 from past experience of God's love, looking with 
more assurance of complete salvation. 12 As sin and 
death came by Adam, so righteousness and life more 
abundantly by Jesus Christ, 

HEREFORE, beingjuftified by faith, we have 
peace with God, through our Lord Jefus Chrift. 

2 a By whom alio we have accefs by faith into this a Ephe*. 
grace wherein we ftand, and rejoice in hope of the 
glory of God. 

3 And not only so, but we glory in tribulations 
alfo : h knowing that tribulation worketh patience ; 

4 And patience, experience ; and experience, hope : " 3l 

5 And hope maketh not afhamed ; becaufe the love 
of God is fhed abroad in our hearts by the Holy Ghoft, 
which is given unto us. 

6 For when we were yet without flrength, || in due 
time Chrift died for the ungodly. 

7 For fcarcely for a righteous man will one die : 
yet peradventure for a good man forue would even 
dare to die. 

8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in 
that, while we were yet finners, Chrift died for us. 

9 Much more then, being now juftified by his 
blood, we fhall be faved from wrath through him. 

10 For if, when we were enemies, we were rec- 
onciled to God by the death of his Son ; much more, 
being reconciled, we iliall be faved by his life. 

11 And not only so, but we alfo joy in God through 
our Lord Jefus Chrift, by whom we have noAV receiv- 
ed the || atonement. 

12 Wherefore, as by one man, fin entered into the c ' liatic »- 
world, and death by fin ; and fo death paffed upon all 
men, || for that all have finned : 

13 (For until the law fin was in the world : but iin 
is not imputed when there is no law. , 

14 Neverthelefs, death reigned from Adam to 
Mofes, even over them that had not finned after the 
fimilitude of Adam's tranfgreffion, who is the figure 
of him that was to come. 

15 But not as the offence, fo alfo is the free gift. 
For if through the offence of one many be dead, much 
more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is 
by one man, Jefus Chrift, hath abounded unto many. 

16 And not as it was by one that finned, so is the 
gift : for the judgment voas by one to condemnation ; 
but the free gift is of many offences unto juftificatjon. 

17 For if || by one man's offence, death reigned . 
by one ; much more they which receive abundance < " ! "^ m 
of grace, and of the gift of righteoufnefs, iliall reign 

in life by one, Jefus Chrift :)

came upon all men to condemnation ; even fo || by

men unto jullification of life. 

19 For as by one man's difobedience many were 
made linners ; fo by the obedience of one (hall many 
be made righteous. 

20 Moreover, the law entered, that the offence 
might abound : but where fin abounded, grace did 
much more abound ; 

21 That as fin hath reigned unto death, even fo 
might grace reign through righteoufnefs unto eternal 
life, by Jefus Chrift our Lord. 

CHAP. VI. 
1 Though justified by grace, ive may not live in sin, 
for by the very figure of our baptism we are dead 
nnto it. 14 The dispensation of grace freeth us from 
the dominion of sin, but we are still the servants of 
sin if ive obey it, &c. 

WHAT fhall we fay then ? Shall we continue in 
fin, that grace may abound ? 

2 God forbid : how fhall we that are dead to fin 
live any longer therein ? 

3 Know ye not, that a fo many of us as || were bap- 
tized into Jefus Chrift, were baptized into his death ? 
. 4 Therefore we are b buried with him by baptifm 
into death ; that, like as Chrift was raifed up from the 
dead by the glory of the Father, evenfo we alfo Ihould 
walk in newnefs of life. 

5 For if we have been planted together in the 
likenefs of his death, we fhall be alfo in the likeness of 
his refurrecTtion : 

6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with 
him, that the body of fin might be deftroyed, that 
henceforth we fhould not ferve fin. 

7 For he that is dead is \ freed from fin. 

8 Now if we be dead with Chrift, we believe that 
we fhall alfo live with him : 

9 Knowing that Chrift being raifed from the dead, 
dieth no more ; death hath no more dominion over 
him. 

10 For in that he died, he died unto fin once ; but 
in that he liveth, he liveth unto God. 

11 Likewife reckon ye alfo yourfelves to be dead 
indeed unto I'm, but alive unto God through Jefus 
Chrift our Lord. 

12 Let not fin, therefore, reign in your mortal body, 
that ye fhould obey it in the lufts thereof : 

13 Neither yield ye your members as f inftruments 
of unrighteoufneis unto fin : but yield yourfelves unto 
God, as thofe that are alive from the dead, and your 
members as inftruments of righteoufnefs unto God. 

14 For fin ill all not have dominion over you : for 
ye are not under the law, but under grace. 

15 What then ? fhall we fin, becaufe we are not 
under the law, but under grace ; God forbid. 

16 Know ye not, that c to whom ye yield your- 
felves fervants to obey, his fervants ye are to whom 
ye obey ; whether of fin unto death, or of obedience 
unto righteoufnefs ? 

17 But God be thanked, that ye || were the fervants 
of fin ; but ye have obeyed from the heart that form 
of doclrine t which was delivered you. 

18 Being then made free from fin, ye became the 
fervants of righteoufnefs. 

19 I fpeak after the manner of men, becaufe of 
the infirmity of your ftefh : for as ye have yielded 

4X 



ri;l+eOV.i~ 



your members fen-ants to uncleannefs and to iniquity, 
unto iniquity ; even fo now yield your members fe*-- 
vants to righteoufnefs, unto holinefs. 

20 For when ye were the fervants of fin,. ye were 
free j from righteoufnefs. 

21 What fruit had ye then in thofe things whereof , 
ye arenowafhamed ? fortheend of thofe things is death. 

22 But now, being made free from fin, and become 
fervants to God, ye have your fruit unto holinefs, 
and the end everlafting life. 

23 For the wages of tin is death : but the gift of 
God is eternal life, through Jefus Chrift our Lord. 

CHAP. VII. 
1 No law having power ove$ a person longer than he 
liveth ; 4 we, therefore, being become dead to the law 
by the body of Christ, are left free to place ourselves 
under a happier dispensation. 12 The law holy, 
just, and good, &c. 

KNOW ye not, brethren, (for I fpeak to them that 
know the law,) how that the law hath dominion 
over a man as long as he liveth ? 

2 For a the woman which hath an hufband is bound * l£°* 
by the law to her hufband fo long as he liveth : but 

if the hufband be dead, fhe is loofed from the law of 
her hufband. 

3 So then, if while her hufband liveth, fhe be mar- 
ried to another man, fhe fhall be called an adulterefs : 
but if her hufband be dead, fhe is free from that law ; 
fo that fhe is no adulterefs, though fhe be married to 
another man. 

4 Wherefore, my brethren, ye alfo are become dead 
to the law by the body of Chrift ; that ye fhould be 
married to another, even to him who is raifed from 
the dead, that we fhould bring forth fruit unto God. 

5 For when we were in the flefh, the j- motions of \^[ mu 
fins, which were by the law, did work in our mem- 
bers to bring forth fruit unto death. 

6 But now we_ are delivered from the law, |l that J °J J ,S/ 
being dead wherein we were held ; that, we fhould 

ferve in newnefs of fpirit, and not in the oldnefs of 
the letter. 

7 What (hall we fay then ? Is the law fin ? God 
forbid. Nay, I had not known fin but by the law : 
for I had not known |] luft, except the law had faid, 
b Thou fhalt not covet. 

8 But fin, taking occafion by the commandment, pe«cr.5«. 
wrought in me all manner of concupifcence. For 
without the law fin was dead. 

9 For I was alive without the law once : but when 
the commandment came, fin revived, and I died. 

10 And the cammandment which was ordained to 
life, I found to be unto death. 

11 For fin, taking occafion by the commandment, 
deceived me, and by it flew me. 

12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the command- 
ment holy, and juft, and good. 

13 Was then that which is good made death unto 
me? God forbid. But fin, that it might appear fin, 
working death in me by that which is good ; that fin 
by the commandment might become exceeding finful. 

14 For we know that the law is fpiritual : but I am 
carnal, fold under fin. 

15 For that which I do, I f allow not : for what I 
would, that do I not ; but what I hate, that dp I. 

16 If then I do that which I would not, I confent 
unto the law that it is good.

17 Now then, it is no mote I that do it, but fin

18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flefli)

me ; but ho-iv to perform that which is good, 1 find not.

20 Now, if I do that I would not, it is no more I 
that do it, but fin that dwelleth in me.

ward man : 

23 But I fee another law in my members warring 
againft the law of my mmd, and bringing me into 
captivity to the law of fin, which is in my members.

1 They who live according to the Spirit are free from 
condemnation. 5, 13 The evil 'of 'being carnally mind- 
ed, 6, 14 and the good of being spiritually minded. 
15 The privilege of the sons of God. 19 The manifes- 
tation of the Spirit earnestly looked for by the crea- 
ture, novo travailing in pain. 23 Believers still long 
for a more full manifestation. 31 The ground of the 
Christian' 's hope. 

r^HERE is, therefore, now no condemnation to 
them which are in Chrift Jefus, who walk not 
after the fiefh, but after the Spirit. 

2 For the law of the Spirit of life in Chrift Jefus 
hath made me free from the law of fin and death. 

3 For what the law could not do, in that it was 
weak through the flefli, God, fending his own Son 
in the likenefs of finful flefh, and || for fin condemned 
fin in the flefh ; 

4 Thatthe righteoufnefs of the law might be fulfilled 
in us, who walk not after the flefli, but after the Spirit. 

5 For they that are after the flefh do mind the 
things of the flefli : but they that are after the Spirit 
the things of the Spirit. 

^ 6 For tto be carnally minded is death ; but fto be 
fpiritually minded is life and peace. 

7 Becaufe t the carnal mind is enmity againft God ; 
■ for it. is not fubje6t to the law of God, neither indeed 

can be. 

8 Sothen,they thatarein the flefh cannot pleafe God. 

9 But ye are not in the flefh, but in the Spirit, if fo 
be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now, if any 
man have not the Spirit of Chrift, he is none of his. 

10 And if Chrift be in you, the body is dead becaufe 
of fin : but the Spirit is life becaufe of righteoufnefs. 

11 But if the Spirit of him that raifed up Jefus from 
the dead dwell in you, he that raifed up Chrift from 
the dead fhall alfo quicken your mortal bodies || by 
his Spirit that dwelleth in you. 

12 Therefore, brethren, we are debtors, not to the 
flefli, to live after the flefh. 

13 For if ye live after the flefli, ye fhall die: but 
if ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the 
body, ye fhall live. 

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, 
they are thefonsofGod.

15 For ye 
again to fear 
adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. 

16 The Spirit itfelf beareth witnefs with our fpirit, 
that we are the children of God : 

17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and 
joint heirs with Chrift : if fo be that we fufler with 
him, that we may be alfo glorified together. 

18 For I reckon that the fuflerings of this prefent 
time are not worthy to be compared with the glory 
which fhall be revealed in us. 

19 For the earneft expectation of the creature 
waiteth for the manifeftation of the fons of God. 

20 For the creature was made fubjecl to vanity, 
not willingly, but by reafon of him who hath fubjecV 
ed the same in hope : 

21 Becaufe the creature itfelf alfo fhall be delivered 
from the bondage of corruption, into the glorious lib- 
erty of the children of God. 

22 For we know that || the whole creation groaneth j^ 
and travaileth in pain together until now. 

23 And not only they, but ourfelves alfo, which 
have the firft fruits of the Spirit, even we ourfelves 
groan within ourfelves, waiting for the adoption, to 
wit, the b redemption of our body. 

24 For we are faved by hope. But hope that is feen 
is not hope : for what a man feeth, why doth he yet 
hope for ? 

25 But if we hope for that we fee not, then do we 
with patience wait for it. 

26 Likewife the Spirit alfo helpeth our infirmities : 
for we know not what Ave ihould pray for as we 
ought ; but the Spirit itfelf maketh interceffion for 
us with groanings which cannot be uttered. 

27 And he that fearcheth the hearts knoweth what 
is the mind of the Spirit, || becaufe he maketh inter- 
ceffion for the faints according to the will o/'God. 

28 And we know that all things work together for 
good to them that love God, to them who are the 
called according to his purpofe. 

29 For whom he did foreknow, he alfo did predef- 
tinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that 
he might be the firftborn among many brethren. 

30 Moreover, whom he did predeftinate, them he 
alfo called ; and whom he called, them he alfo juftifi- 
ed ; and whom he juftified, them he alfo glorified. 

31 What fhall we then fay to thefe things ? if God 
be for us, who can be againft us ? 

32 He that fpared not his own Son, but delivered 
him up for us all, how fhall he not with him alfo 
freely give us all things ? 

33 Who fhall lay any thing to the charge of God's 
eleel ? It is God that juftifieth ; 

34 Who is he that condemneth ? It is Chrift that 
died, yea, rather that is rifen again, who is even at the 
right hand of God, who alfo maketh interceffion for us, 

35 Who fhall feparate us from the love of Chrift ? 
shall tribulation, ordiftrefs, or perfecution, or famine, 
or nakednefs, or peril, or fword ? 

36 (As it is written, c For thy fake we are killed ^if^ 
all the day long ; we are accounted as fheep for the 
flaughter.) 

37 Nay, in all thefe things we are more than con- 
querors, through him that loved us. 

38 For I am perfuaded,_ that neither death nor life, 
nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things 
prefent, nor things to come,

C H A P. IX. 

1 Paul's unfeigned sorrow for the Jews: 6 he proveth 
that the promise to Abraham did not necessarily in- 
clude all his descendants. 14 (God is not unrighteous 
in bestowing his unmerited mercy ^ on whom he pleas- 
eth. 25 The calling of the Gentiles and rejection of 
the Jews foretold, £s?c. 

I SAY the truth in Chrift, I lie not, my confcience 
alfo bearing me witnefs in the Holy Ghoft, 

2 That I have great heavinefs and continual forrow 
in my heart. 

3 For I could wilh that myfelf were f| accurfed 
from Chrift, for my brethren, my kinfmen according 
to the nefh : 

4 Who are Ifraelites ; to whom pertaineth the adop- 
tion, and the glory, and the || covenants, and the giv- 
ing of the law, and the fervice of God, and the promifes ; 

5 Whofe are the fathers, and of whom, as con- 
cerning the nefh, Chrift came, who is over all, God 
blelfed for ever. Amen. 

6 Not as though the word of God hath taken none 
effecl. For they are not all Ifrael which are of Ifrael : 

7 Neither, becaufethey are the feed of Abraham are 
they all children : but, in a Ifaac fhall ttry feed be called ; 

8 That is, They which are the children of the nefh, 
thefe are not the children of God : but b the children 
of the promife are counted for the feed. 

9 For this is the word of promife, c At this time 
will I come, and Sarah fliall have a fon. 

10 And not only this, but when Rebecca alfo had 
conceived by one, even by our father Ifaac, 

11 (For the children being not yet born, neither 
having done any good or evil, that the purpofe of 
God according to election might Hand, not of works, 
but of him that calleth,) 

12 It was faid unto her, The d || elder fhall ferve 
the || younger. 

13 As it is written, e Jacob have I loved, but Efau 
have I hated. 

14 What fliall we fay then ? Is there unrighteouf- 
nefs with God ? God forbid. 

15 For he faith to Mofes, f I will have mercy on 
whom I will have mercy, and I will have companion 
on whom I will have companion. 

16 So then, it is not of him that willeth, nor of him 
that runneth, butof God that fheweth mercy. 

17 For the fcripture faith unto Pharaoh, s Even 
for this fame purpofe have I raifed thee up, that I 
might fhew my power in thee, and that my name 
might be declared throughout all the earth. 

18 Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will 
have mercy, and whom he will, he hardeneth. 

19 Thou wilt fay then unto me, Why doth he yet 
find fault ? for who hath refilled his will ? 

20 Nay but, O man, who art thou that || replied 
againft God ? h Shall the thing formed fay to him 
that formed it, Why haft thou made me thus ? 

21 Hath not the * potter power over the clay, of 
the fame lump to make one veffel unto honour, and 
another unto difhonour ? 

22 What if God, willing to fhew his wrath, and to 
make his power known, endured with much long

■ 23 And that he might make known the riches of 
his glory on the veffels of mercy, which he had afore 
prepared unto glory, 

24 Even us, whom he hath called, not of the Jews 
only, but alfo of the Gentiles ? 

25 As he faith alfo in Ofee, k I will call them my 
people, which were not my people ; and her beloved, 
which was not beloved. 

26 l And it fliall come to pafs, that in the place where \ «° se ». 
it was faid unto them, Ye are not my people ; there I IT. 
fliall theybe called. The children of the living God. 

27 Efaias alfo crieth concerning Ifrael, m Though misaiah 
the number of the children of Ifrael be as the fand of '° 22 ' 
the fea, a remnant fliall be faved : 

28 For he will finiih || the work, and cut it fliort n or, 
in righteoufnefs ; becaufe a lliort work will the Lord I'oLT 
make upon the earth. 

29 And as Efaias faid before, n Except the Lord of nI ^ak 
fabaoth had left us a feed, we had been as Sodoma, ' 9 " 
and been made like unto Gomorrha. 

30 What fliall we fay then ? That the Gentiles, which 
followed not after righteoufnefs, have attained to right- 
eoufnefs, even the righteoufnefs which is of faith ; 

31 But Ifrael, which followed after the law of right- 
eoufnefs, hath not attained to the law of righteouf- 
nefs. 

32 Wherefore ? Becaufe they sought it not by faith, 
but as it were by the works of the law : for they {tum- 
bled at that Humbling ftone ; 

33 As it is written, ° Behold, I lay in Sion a {tum- 
bling ftone, and rock of offence : and whofoever be- 
lie veth on him fliall not be || aihamed. 

CHAP. X. 

1 The apostle's prayer for Israel %v ho were misled by 
blind zeal. 4 The difference between justification by 
the law and by faith explained from scripture. 11 
That all who believe, both few and Gentile, shall be 
saved. 14 The necessity of preaching to the Gentiles 
inferred. 19 God's accep tance of them known before to 
the Jews, 21 as also their own refusal of offered mercy. 

BRETHREN, my heart's defire and prayer to 
God for Ifrael is, that they might be faved. 

2 For I bear them record, that they have a zeal of 
God, but not according to knowledge. 

3 For they, being ignorant of God's righteoufnefs, 
and going about to eftablifh their own righteoufnefs, 
have not fubmitted themfelves unto the righteoufnefs 
of God. 

4 For Chrift is the end of the law for righteoufnefs 
to every one that believeth. 

5 For Mofes defcribeth the righteoufnefs which is 
ofthalaw, a That the man which doeth thofe things ^)' vit ' 
lhall live by them. ' f™} iel 

6 But the righteoufnefs which is of faith fpeaketh %**• 
on this wife, b Say not in thine heart, Who fhall ' 
afcend into heaven ? (that is, to bring Chrift down 
from above ;) 

7 Or, Who fliall defcend into the deep ? (that is, 
to bring up Chrift again from the dead :) 

8 But what faith it ? c The word is nigh thee, even 
in thy mouth, and in thy heart ; that is, the word of 
faith, which we preach, 

9 That if thou (halt confers with thy mouth the 
Lord Jefus, and fhalt believe in thine heart, that God 
hath raifed him from, the dc<>d, thou fhalt be faved.

CHAP. XL 

1 God hath not so far cast off all Israel, but that a 
remnant shall be saved by grace. 7 The judicial 
blindness of the rest prophesied of . 17 The Gentiles 
cautioned not to insult the yews, but to make a proper 
use of God's dealings. 23 The J exvs may and shall 
in time believe and be saved. 

SAY then, Hath God call away his people ? God 
forbid. Fori alfo am an Ifraelite, of the feed of 
Abraham, of the tribe of Benjamin. 

2 God hath not call away his people which he fore- 
knew. Wot ye not what the fcripture faith of Elias ? 
how he maketh intercefnon to God againft Ifrael, 
faying, 

3 a Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and dig- 
ged down thine altars ; and I am left alone, and they 
leek my life ? 

4 But what faith the anfwerof God unto him ? b I 
have referved to myfelf feven thoufand men, who 
have not bowed the knee to the image of 'Baal. 

5 Even fo then, at this prefent time alfo there is 
a remnant according to the election of grace. 

6 And if by grace, then is it no more of works : 
otherwife grace is no more grace. But if it be of 
works, then is it no more grace : otherwife work is 
no more work. 

7 What then ? Ifrael hath not obtained that which 
he feeketh for ; but the election hath obtained it, and 
the reft were || blinded ; 

8 (According as it is written, c God hath given them 
the fpirit of || ilumber, d eyes that they fhould not fee, 
and ears that they fhould not hear) unto this day.

9 And David faith, e Let their table be made a 
fnare, and a trap, and a Humbling block, and a recom- 
penfe unto them : 

10 s Let their eyes be darkened, that they may not 
fee> and bow down their back alway. 

Ill fay then, Have they (tumbled that they fhould 
fall ? God forbid : but rather through their fall falva- 
tion is com*?- unto the Gentiles, for to provoke them 
to jealoufy. 

12 Now, if the fall of them fcthe riches of the 
. world, and the f| diminifhing of them the riches of the 

Gentiles, how much more their faltiefs ? 

13 For I fpeak to you, Gentiles ; inafmuch as I 
am the apoftle of the Gentiles, I magnify mine office ; 

14 If by any means I may provoke to emulation 
them ivhich are my flefh, and might fave fome of them. 

_ 15 For if the calling away of them be the recon- 
ciling of the world, what shall the receiving of them 
be, but life from the dead ? 

16 For if the firft fruit be holy, the lump is alfo 
holy : and if the root be holy, fo arc the branches. 

17 And if fome of the branches be broken off, and 
thou, being a wild olive tree, wert graffed in || among j or, 
them, and with them partakefl of the root and fatnefs f° rthcm ° 
of the olive tree ; 

18 Boafl not againft the branches : but if thou boaft, 
thou bearefl not the root, but the root thee. 

19 Thou wilt fay then, The branches were broken 
off, that I might be graffed in. 

20 Well ; becaufe of unbelief they were broken off, 
and thou ftandeflby faith. Benot high minded, but fear : 

21 For if God fpared not the natural branches, 
take heed left he alfo fpare not thee. 

22 Behold, therefore, the goodnefs and feverity of 
God : on them whichfell, feverity ; but toward thee, 
goodnefs, if thou continue in his goodnefs : otherwife 
thou alfo fhalt be cut off. 

23 And they alfo, if they abide not Hill in unbelief, 
fhall be graffed in : for God is able to graff them in 
again. 

24 For if thou wert cut out of the olive tree which 
is wild by nature, and wert graffed contrary to nature 
into a good olive tree ; how much more fhall thefe 
which be the natural branches, be graffed into their 
own olive tree ? 

25 For I would not, brethren, that ye fhould be ig- 
norant of this myftery, Cleft ye fhould be wife in your 
own conceits,) that || blindnefs in part is happened to flor, 
Ifrael, until the fulnefs of the Gentiles be come in. 

26 And fo all Ifrael fhall be laved ; as it is written, 
g There fhall come out of Sion the Deliverer, and 
fhall turn away ungodlinefs from Jacob. 

27 For this p my covenant unto them, when I fhall 
take away tiheir fins. 

28 As concerning the gofpel, they are enemies for 
your fakes : but as touching the eleclion, they are be- 
loved for the fathers' fakes. 

29 For the gifts and calling of God are without re- 
pentance. 

30 For as ye in times paft have not || believed God, \g T ' ed 
yet have now obtained mercy through their unbelief; 

31 Evenfo have thefe alfo now not || believed, that 11 or,

a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil. 

5 Wherefore ye mull needs be fubje£t not only for 
wrath, but alfo for confeience fake. 

6 For, for this caufe pay ye tribute alfo : for they 
are God's minifters, attending continually upon this 
very thing. 

7 c Render, therefore, to all their dues : tribute to 
whom tribute is due ; cullom to whom cuftom ; fear 
to whom fear ; honour to whom honour- 

8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one another : 
for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. 

9 For this, d Thou fhalt not commit adultery, Thou 
fhalt not kill, Thou fhalt not fteal, Thou fhalt not 
bear falfe witnefs, Thou fhalt not covet : and if there 
be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehend- 
ed in this faying, namely, e Thou fnaltlove thy neigh- 
bour as thyfelf. 

10 Love worketh no ill to his neighbour : therefore, 
love is the fulfilling of the law. 

11 And that, knowing the time, that now it ?>high 
time to awake out offleep : for now is our falvation 
nearer than when we believed. 

12 The night is far fpent, the day is at hand : let 
us, therefore, call off the works of darknefs, and let us 
put on the armour of light. 

13 Let us walk || honeftly as in the day ; f not in 
rioting and drunkennefs, not in chambering and wan- 
tonnefs, not in flrife and envying : 2I 34 ' 

14 But put ye on the Lord Jefus Chrift, and E make s pH£ 
not provifion for the flefh, to fulfil the lufls thereof

4 * Who art thou thatjudgeft another man's fervant? 
to his own mailer he flandeth or falleth ; yea, he fhall 
be holden up ; for God is able to make him Hand. 

5 One man efteemeth one day above another ; an- 
other efteemeth every day alike. Let every man be 
|| fully perfuaded in his own mind. 

6 He that |] regardeth the day, regardeth it unto the 
Lord ; and he that regardeth not the day, to the Lord 
he doth not regard it. He that eateth, eateth to the 
Lord, for he giveth God thanks ; and he that eateth 
not, to the Lord he eateth not, and giveth God thanks. 

7 For none of us liveth to himfelf, and no man 
dieth to himfelf. 

8 For whether we live, we live unto the Lord ; and 
whether we die, we die unto the Lord : whether we 
live, therefore, or die, we are the Lord's. 

9 Fortothis end Chrift bothdied, and rofe, and reviv- 
ed, that he might be Lord both of the dead and living. 

10 But why doll thou judge thy brother ? or why 
dolt thou fet at nought thy brother ? for b we fhall all 
Hand before the judgment feat of Chrift. 

1 1 For it is written, c As 1 live, faith the Lord, every 
knee fhall bow to me, and eveiy tongue fhall confefs 
to God. 

12 So then, every one of us fhall give account of 
himfelf to God. 

13 Let us not, therefore, judge oneanother anymore : 
but judge this rather, that no man put a Humbling 
block, or an occafion to fall, in his brother's way. 

14 I know, and am perfuaded by the Lord Jefus, 
that there is nothing t unclean of itfelf : but to him 
that efteemeth any thing to be f unclean, to him it is 
unclean. 

15 But if thy brother be grieved with thy meat, now 
walked thou not f charitably, d Deftroy not him with 
thy meat, for whom Chriil died. 

16 Let not then your good be evil fpoken of : 

17 For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink ; 
but righteouihefs,and peace, and joy inthe Holy Ghoft. 

18 For he that in thefe things ferveth Chrift, is 
acceptable to God, and approved of men. 

19 Let us, therefore, follow after the things which 
make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify 
another. 

20 For meat de'ftroy not the work of God. e All 
things indeed are pure ; but it is evil for that man 
who eateth with offence. 

2 1 It is good neither to eat f fiefh , nor to drink wine, 
nor any thing whereby thy brother ftumbleth, or is 
offended, or is made weak. 

22 Haft thou faith ? have it to thyfelf before God. 
Happy is he that condemned! not himfelf in that thing 
which he alloweth. 

23 And he that || doubteth is damned if he eat, be- 
caufe he eateth not of faith : for whatfoever is not of 
faith is fin.

2 Let every one of us pleafe his neighbour for his 
good to edification. 

3 For even Chrift pleafed not himfelf ; but, as it is 
written, a The reproaches of them that reproached L Psalm 
thee, fell on me. 

4 For whatfoever things were written aforetime, 
were written for our learning, that we, through pa- 
tience and comfort of the fcriptures, might have hope. 

5 b Now, the God of patience and confolation grant b ,' Cor; 
you to be like minded one toward another, || accord- ii.oW**r

6 That ye may with one mind and one mouth glo- 
rify God, even the Father of our Lord Jefus Chrift. 

7 Wherefore receive ye one another, as Chrift alfo 
received us, to the glory of God. 

8 Now I fay, that Chrift was a minifter of the 
circumcifion for the truth of God, to confirm the 
promifes made unto the fathers ; 

9 And that the Gentiles might glorify God for his 
mercy ; as it is written, c For this caufe I will con- 
fefs to thee among the Gentiles, and fmg unto thy

12 And again Efaias faith, f There fhall be a root of nsaiah 
Jelfe ; and he that fhall rife to reign over the Gentiles, " 10, 
in him fhall the Gentiles trull. 

13 Now, the God of hope fill you with all joy and 
peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, 
through the power, of the Holy Ghoft. 

14 And I myfelf alfo am perfuaded of you, my 
brethren, that ye alfo are full of goodnefs, filled with 
all knowledge, able alfo to admonifh one another. 

15 Neverthelefs, brethren, I have written the more 
boldly unto you in fome fort, as putting you in mind, 
becaufe of the grace that is given to me of God, 

16 That I fhould be the minifter of Jefus Chrift to 
the Gentiles, miniftering the gofpel of God, that the 
|| offering up of the Gentiles might be acceptable, be- 
ing fanclified by the Holy Ghoft. 

17 I have, therefore, whereof I may glory through 
Jefus Chrift, in thofe things which pertain to God. 

18 I'or I will not dare to fpeak of any of thofe things 
which Chrift hath not wrought by me, to make the 
Gentiles obedient, by word and deed, 

19 Through mighty figns and wonders, by the 
power of the Spirit of God ; fo that from Jerufalem, 
and round about unto lilyricum, I have fully preached 
the gofpel of Chrift. 

20 Yea, fo have I ftrived to preach the gofpel, not

26 For it hath pleafed them of Macedonia and 
Achaia to make a certain contribution for the poor 
faints which are at Jerufalem. 

27 It hath pleafed them verily, and their debtors 
they are. For h if the Gentiles have been made par-

minifter unto them ia carnal things. 

28 When, therefore, I have performed this, and have 
Healed to them this fruit, I will come by you into Spain.

caufe divifions and offences, contrary to the doctrine 
which.ye have learned ; and avoid them. 

18 For they that are fuch ferve not our Lord Jefus

flftzy fe blamelefs in the clay of our Lord Jefas Chrift. 

9 c God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto 
the fellowfhip of his fon Jems Chrift our Lord. 

10 Now I befeech you, brethren, by the name of 
our Lord Jefus Chrift, that ye all fpeak the fame thing, 
and that there be no f divifions among you ; but that 
ye be perfectly joined together in the lame mind, and 
in the fame judgment. 

11 For it hath been declared unto me of you, my 
brethren, by them which are of the house of Chloe, that 
there are contentions among you. 

12 Now this I fay, that every one of you faith, 
I am of Paul, and I of d Apollos, and I of Cephas, 
and I of Chrift. 

13 Is Chrift divided ? was Paul crucified for you ? 
or were ye baptized in the name of Paul ? 

14 I thank God that I baptized none of you but 
e Crifpus and Gaius ; 

15 Left any fhould fay, that I had baptized in mine 
own name. 

16 And I baptized alfo the houfehold of Stephanas ; 
beiides I know not whether I baptized any other. 

17 For Chrift. fent me not to baptize, but to preach 
the gofpel : f not with wifdom of || words, left the crofs 
of Chrift mould be made of none effecl. 

18 For the preaching of the crofs is to them that 
perifh, foolifhnefs ; but unto us which are faved, it is 
the g power of God. 

19 For it is written, h I will deftroy the wifdom of 
the wife, and will bring to nothing the underftanding 
of the prudent. 

20 ' Where is the wife ? where is the fcribe ? where 
is the difputer of this world ? hath not God made 
fooiifh the wifdom of this world ? 

21 k For after that, in the wifdom of God, the 
world by wifdom knew not God, it pleafed God by 
the foolifhnefs of preaching to fave them that believe. 

22 For ' the Jews require a iign, and the Greeks 
feek after wifdom ; 

23 But we preach Chrift crucified, unto the Jews 
a {tumbling block, and unto the Greeks foolifhnefs ; 

24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and 
Greeks, Chrift the power of God, and the wifdom of 
God. 

25 Becaufe the foolifhnefs of God is wifer than 
men ; and the weaknefs of God is ftronger than men. 

26 For ye fee your calling, brethren, how that not 
many wife men after the flefh, not many mighty, not 
many noble are called ; 

27 But God hath chofen the fooiifh things of the 
world to confound the wife : and God hath chofen 
theweak things of the world to confound the things 
which are mighty ; 

28 And bafe things of the world, and things which 
are defpifed, hath God chofen, yea, and things which 
are not, to bring to nought things that are : 

29 That no flefh fhould glory in his prefence. 

30 But of him are ye in Chrift Jefus, who of God 
is made unto us wifdom, and righteoufnefs, and fanc- 
tification and redemption : 

31 That, according as it is written, m He that glori- 
eth, let him glory in the Lord. 

C H A P. II. 
1 Paul's preaching not with human eloquence, that 
then- faith being built on the testimony of the Spirit, 
might solely be ascribed to God. 6 The gospel 



God's wise but secret counsel for bringing men to 
glory which no natural ability could discover ; 14 its 
doctrines, &rV. therefore disesteemed. 

AND I, brethren, when I came to you, a came not 
with excellency of fpeech, or of wifdom, declar- 
ing unto you the teftimony of God. 

2 For 1 determined not to know any thing among 
you, fave Jefus Chrift, and him crucified. 

3 And I was with you in weaknefs, and hi fear, 
and in much trembling; 

4 And my fpeech, and my preaching, b was not with 
!! enticing words of man's wiidom, but indemonfua- 
ti'on of the Spirit, and of power : 

5 That your faith fhould not f ftand in the wifdom 
of men, but in the power of God. 

6 Howbeit* we fpeak wifdom among them that are 
perfect ; yet not the wifdom of this world, nor of 
the princes of this world, that come to nought : 

7 But we fpeak the wifdom of God in a myftery, 
even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before 
the world, unto our giory ; 

8 Which none of the princes of this world knew ; 
for had they known it, they would not have crucified 
the Lord of glory. 

9 But as it is written, c Eye- hath not feen, nor ear 
heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the 
things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 

10 But God hath revealed them unto us by ' his 
Spirit : for the Spirit fearcheth all things, yea, the 
deep things of God. 

11 For what man knoweth the things of a man, fave 
the fpirit of man which is in him ? even lb, the things 
of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 

12 Now we have received, not the fpirit of the 
world* but the Spirit which is of God ; that we might 
know the things that are freely given to us of God. 

13 d Which things alfo we fpeak, not in the words 
which man's wifdom teacheth, but which the Holy 
Ghoit teacheth ; comparing fpiritual things with 
fpiritual. 

14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of 
the Spirit of God ; for they are foolifhnefs unto him : 
neither can he know them, becaufe they are fpiritually 
difcerned. 

15 e But he that is fpiritual i| judgeth all things, yet 
he himfelf is || judged of no man. 

16 f For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that 
he t may inftruct him ? but we have the mind of Chrift. 

C W A P. III. 
1 Paul sheweth their carnality prevented him from 
teaching them the higher doctrines of Christianity. 
5 The most eminent preachers only instruments em- 
ployed by God in building his church. 10 Having 
laid the only true foundation, unskilful builders cau- 
tioned. 16 Men the temples of God, &c. 
AND I, brethren, could not fpeak unto you as 
unto fpiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto 
babes in Chrift. 

2 I have fed you with a milk, and not with meat : 
for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet 
now are ye able. 

3 For ye are yet carnal : for whereas there is among 
you envying, and ftrife, and || divifions, are ye not 
carnal, and walk f as men ? 

4 For while one faith, I am of Paul : and another, 
I am of Apollos ; are ye not carnal ?

5 Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but min-

every man ? 

6 I have planted, Apollos watered ; but God gave 
the increafe. 

7 So then, neither is he that planteth any thing, 
neither he that watereth ; but God that giveth the 
increafe. 

8 Now he that planteth and he that watereth are 
one ; u and every man fhall receive his own reward, 
according to his own labour. 

9 For we are labourers together with God \ ye are 
God's \\ husbandry, ye are God's building. 

10 According to the grace of God which is given 
unto me, as a wife matter builder, I have laid the 
foundation, and another buiideth thereon. But let 
every man take heed how he buiideth thereupon : 

11 For other foundation can no man lay than that 
is laid, which is Jems Chrift. 

12 Now, if any man build upon this foundation 
gold, lilver, precious (tones, wood, hay, ftubble ; 

13 Every man's work lhall be made manifeft : for 
the day (hall declare it, becaufe it t lhall be revealed

what fort it is. 

14 If any man's work abide which he hath built 
thereupon, he fhall receive a reward. 

15 If any man's work (hall be burnt, he fhall fuffer

16 c Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, 
and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you ? 

17 If any may || defile the temple of God, him fhall 
God deftroy : • for the temple of God is holy, which 
temple ye are. 

18 Let no man deceive himfelf. If any man among 
you feemeth to be wife in this world, let him become 
a fool, that he may be wife. 

19 For the wifdomofthis world is foolifhnefs with 
God: for it is written, d Hetakeththe wife in their 
own craftinefs. 

20 And again, e The Lord knoweth the thoughts 
of the wife, that they are vain. 

21 Therefore let no man glory in men : for all 
things are yours ; 

22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or the 
world, or life, or death, 01* things prefent, or things to 
come ; all are yours. 

23 And ye are Chrift 's ; and Chrift is God's. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 Paul sheweth how minis/ ers ought to be accounted of : 
6 he dissuadeth them from partiality to ministers, 
their respective distinctions being from God : 8 to 
their self sufficient vanity he opposeth his mvn de- 
spised and afflicted state: 14 he vjameth them, as 
their only father in Chris!, fcftr.

be judged of you, or of man's f judgment ; yea, I

hidden things of darknefs, and will make manifeft the 
counfels of the hearts ; and then (hall every man have 
praifeof God. 

6 And thefe things, brethren, I have in a figure 
transferred to myfelf, and to Apollos, for your fakes ; 
that ye might leam in us not to think of men above 
that which is written, that no one of you be puffed up 
for one againft another. 

7 For who t maketh thee to differ from another ? 
and what halt thou that thou didft not receive I now, 
if thou didft receive it, why doft diou glory as if thou 
hadft not received it ? 

8 Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reign- 
ed as kings without us ; and I would to God ye did 
reign, that we aifo might reign with you. 

■ 9 For I think that God hath fet forth us the apoftles 
laft, as it were appointed to death : for we are made 
a f fpe£tacle unto the world, and to angels, and to men. 

10 We are fools for Chrift's fake, but ye are wife 
in Chrift : we are weak, but ye are ftrong ; ye are 
honourable, but we are defpifed. 

1 1 Even unto this prefent hour we both hunger and 
thirft, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no 
certain dwelling place ,- 

12 b And labour, working with our own hands: bAa-?o 34 , 
being reviled, we blefs ; being perfecuted, we fuffer it ; 2 ThS.' \ & 

13 Being defamed, we entreat ; c we are made as ^ Matth. 
the filth of the world, and are the offscouring of all 
things unto this day. 

14 I write not thefe things to fhame you, but, as 
my beloved fons, I warn you. 

15 For though ye have ten thoufand inftruclors in 
Chrift, yet have ye not many fathers : for, in Chrift 
Jefus, I have begotten you through the gofpel. 

16 Wherefore, I befeech you, be ye followers of me. 

17 For this caufe have Ifent unto you Timotheus, 
who is my beloved fon, and faithful in the Lord, who 
fhall bring you into remembrance of my ways, which 
be in Chrift, as I teach every where, in every church. 

18 Now, fome are puffed up, as though I would 
not come to you. 

19 d But I will come to you fhortly, e if the Lord <JAa« 
will, and will know, not the ipeech of them which chines 
are puffed up, but the power. 4 ' $ - 

20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in 
power.

7 Purge out, therefore, the old leaven, that ye may 
be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Chrift

8 Therefore let us keep || the feaft, not with old 
leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wicked- 
nefs , but with the unleavened bread of fmcerity and 
truth. 

9 I wrote unto you in an epiftle, not to company 
with fornicators : 

10 Ytt not altogether with the fornicators of this 
world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with 
idolaters, for then mull ye needs go out of the world. 

11 But now I have written unto you,, not to keep 
company, if any man that is called a brother be a forni- 
cator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunk- 
ard, or an extortioner ; with fuch an one no not to eat. 

12 For what have I to do to judge them alfo that 
are without ? do not ye judge them that are within ? 

13 But them that are without Godjudgeth. There- 
fore put away from among yourfelves that wicked 
perfon. 

C H A P. VI. 
1 Paul reproveth their bringing controversies before 
heathen judges. 7 Law suits would cease if men act- 
ed up to the principles of the gospel, 9 which ex- 
cludes from God's kingdom all notorious transgressors 
of the moral law. 15 Fornication a gross offeitce 
against our a-um bodies, &c. 

ARE any of you, having a matter againft another, 
go to law before the unjuft, and not before the 
faints ? 

2 Do ye not know that the faints fhall judge the 
world ? and if the world fhall be judged by you, are 
ye unworthy to judge the final left matters ? 

3 Know ye not that we fhall judge angels ? how 
much more things that pertain to this life ? 

4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to 
this life, fet them to judge, who are leaft efteemed in 
the church. 

5 I fpeak to your fhame. Is it fo, that there is not 
a wife man among you ? no, not one that fhall be able 
to judge between his brethren ? 

6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that 
before the unbelievers. 

7 Now, therefore, there is utterly a 'fault among 
you, becaufe ye go to law one with another : a why 
do ye not rather take wrong ? why do ye not rather 
suffer yourselves to be defrauded ? 

8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your 
brethren. 

9 Know ye not that the unrighteous fhall not in- 
herit the kingdom of God ? Be not deceived ; neither 
fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effemi- 
nate, nor abufers of themfelves with mankind, 

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor 
revilers, nor extortioners, fhall inherit the kingdom 
of God.

will alfo raife up us by his own powef.

of Chrift ? fhall I then take the members of Chrift 
and make them the members of an harlot ? God forbid.

an harlot is one body I for d two (faith he) fhall be

temple of the Holy Ghoft which is in you, which ye 
have of God, and ye are not your own ? 

20 For f ye are bought with a price : therefore glorify 
God in your body, and in your fpirit, which are God's. 

CHAP. VII. 

1 Marriage is to be used as a remedy against fornica- 
tion ; 10 Christ hath forbidden to dissolve the bond 
thereof. 17 Every man must fulfil the duties of his 
vocation. 25 Directions concerning the marriage of 
virgins, respecting the distress of the times, 39 and 
concerning widows' 1 second marriage. 

NOW concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto 
me : It is good for a man not to touch a woman.. 

2 Neverthelefs, to avoid fornication, let every man 
have his own wife, and let every woman have her own 
hufband. 

3 Let the hulband render unto the wife due benev- 
olence ; and likewife alfo the wife unto the hufband. 

4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but 
the hufband ; and likewife alfo the hufband hath not 
power of his own body, but the wife. 

5 Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with 
confent for a time, that ye may give j-ourfelves to 
falling and prayer ; and come together again, |j that 
Satan tempt you not for j r our incontinency. 

6 But I fpeak this by permfffion, and not of com- 
mandment. 

7 For I would that all men were even as I myfelf : 
but every man hath his proper gift of God, one after 
this manner, and another after that. 

8 I fay, therefore, to the unmarried and widows, 
It is good for them if they abide even as I. 

9 But if they cannot contain, let them marry : for 
it is better to marry than to burn. 

10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but 
the Lord, a Let not the wife depart from her hufband : 3 

11 But and if ihe depart, let her remain unmarried, J^S'JJj 
or be reconciled to her hufband ; and let not the huf- 
band put away his wife. 

12 But to the reft fpeak I, _ not the Lord ; If any 
brother hath a wife that belieyeth not, and fhe be 
pleafed to dwell with him, let him not put her away. 

13 And the woman which hath an hufband that 
believeth not, and if he be pleafed to dwell with her, 
let her not leave him. 

14 For the unbelieving hufband is fanctified by the 
wife, and the unbelieving wife is fan£tified by the 

hufband ;

huiband ; elfe were your children unclean ; but now 
are they holy. 

15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. 
A brother or a lifter is not under bondage in iuch 
cases : but God hath called us f to peace. 

16 For what knoweft thou, O wife, whether thou 
fhalt fave thy huiband ? or how knoweft thou, Oman, 
whether thou fhalt fave thy wife ? 

17 But as God hath diftributed to. every man, as 
the Lord hath called every one, fo let him walk : and 
fo ordain I in all churches. 

18 Is any man called being circumcifed ? let him 
not become uncircumcifed ; is any called in uncircum- 
cifion ? let him not become circumcifed. 

19 Circumcifion is nothingj and uncircumcifion is 
nothing, but the keeping of the commandments of 
God. , . 

20 Let every man abide in the fame calling wherein 
he was called. 

21 Art thou called being a fervant ? care not for it : 
but if thou maj^ft be made free, ufe ?7 rather. 

22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a fervant, 
is the Lord's f free man ; likewife alfo he that is called, 
being free, is Chrift's fervant. 

23 b Ye are bought with a price ; be not ye the fef- 
vants of men. 

24 Brethren, let every man wherein he is called, 
therein abide with God. 

25 Now, concerning virgins, I have no command- 
ment of the Lord, yet 1 give my judgment, as one that 
hath obtained mercy of the Lord to be faithful. 

26 I fuppofe therefore, that this is good for the pref- 
ent || diftrefs ; I say, that it is good for a man fo to be. 

27 Art thou bound unto a wife ? feek not to be 
loofed. Art thou loofed from a wife ? feek not a wife. 

28 But and if thou marry, thcu haft not finned ; and 
if a virgin marry, ihe hath not finned : neverthelefs, 
fuch fhall have trouble in the flefh ; but I fpare you. 

29 But this. I fay, brethren, the time is ihort. It 
remaineth, that both they that have wives, be as 
though they had none ; 

30 And they that weep, as though they wept not '; 
and they that rejoice, as though they rejoiced not ; 
and they that buy, as though they pofleffed not : 

5 1 And they that ufe this world, as not abiding it : 
for the falhion of this world paffeth away. 

32 But I would have you without carefulnefs. He 
that is unmarried, careth for the things that belong to 
the Lord, how he may pleafe the Lord ; 

33 But he that is married, careth for the things that 
are of the world, how he may pleafe his wife. 

34 There is difference also between a wife and a vir- 
gin. The unmarried woman careth for the tilings of 
the Lord, that fhe may be holy, both in body and in 
fpirit : but Ihe that is married careth for the things of 
the world, how fhe may pleafe her huiband. 

35 And this I fpealc for your own profit ; not that I 
may call a fnare upon you, but for that which is come- 
ly, and that ye may attend upon the Lord without 
diftracYion. 

36 But if any man think that he behaveth himfelf 
uncomely toward his virgin, if fhe pafs the flower of 
her age, and need fo require, let him do what he will, 
he fmncth not ; let them marrv. 

37 Neverthelefs, he that ftandeth ftedfaft in his 
heart, having no neceflity, but hath power over his

own will, and hath fo decreed in his heart that he will 
keep his virgin, doeth well. 

3 8 So then, he that giveth her in marriage doeth well ; 
but he that giveth her not in marriage doeth better. 

39 c The wife is bound by the law as long as her 
huiband liveth : but if her huiband be dead, fhe is at 
liberty to be married to whom ihe will ; only in the 
Lord. 

40 But ihe is happier if fhe fo abide, after my judg- 
ment : and I think alfo that 1 have the Spirit of God. 

CHAP. VIII. 
1 The preference of charity to knowledge. 4 An idol is 
nothing _ where there are right notions of God ; 7 but 
it is an indiscreet use of our knowledge when we cause 
to offend. 

NOW, as touching things offered unto idols, we 
know that we all have knowledge. Knowledge 
puffeth up, but charity ediiieth. 

2 And if any man think that he knoweth any thing, 
he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to know. 

3 But if anymanloveGod,the fame is known of him. 

4 As concerning therefore the eating of thofe things 
that are offered in facrifice unto idols, we know that 
a an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none 
other God but one. 

5 For though there be that are called gods, whether 
in heaven or in earth j (as there be gods many and 
lords many ;) 

6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, h of [>*«*■ 
whom are all things, and we || in him ; and one Lord 
Jefus Chrift, by whom are all things, and we by him. 

7 Howbeit, there is not in every man that know- 
ledge : for fome, with confeience of the idol, unto this 
hour eat it as a. thing offered unto an idol ; and their 
confeience being weak is defiled. 

8 But meat commendeth us not to God : for nei- 
ther, if we eat, || are we the better ; neither if we eat 
not, || are we the worfe. 

9 But take heed, left by any means this || liberty 
of yours become a ftumbling block to them that are 
weak. 

10 .For if any man fee thee which haft knowledge, 
fit at meat in the idol's temple, fhall not the con- 
feience of him which is weak be f emboldened to 
eat thofe things which are offered to idols ; 

11 And through thy knowledge fhall the weak 
brother periih, for whom Chrift died ? 

12 But when ye linfo againft the brethren, and 
wound their weak confeience, ye fin againft Chrift. 

13 Wherefore, c if meat make my brother to offend, <=*<"«- 
I will eat no fleih while the world ftandeth, left I make ' 4 "" 
my brother to offend.

right to a maintenance from the churches ; 15 though

7 Who goeth a warfare any time athis own charges ? 
who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit 
thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the 
milk of the flock ? 

8 Say I thefe things as a man ? or faith not the law 
the fame alfo ? 

9 For it is written in the law of Mofes, b Thou 
(halt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth 
out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen ? 

10 Or faith he it altogether for our fakes ? For our 
fakes, no doubt, this is written : that lie that plougheth 
ihould plough in hope ; and that he that threfheth in 
hope fhould be partaker of his hope. 

11 c If we have fown unto you fpiritual things, is it 
a great thing if we f hall reap your carnal things ? 

12 If others be partakers of this power over you, 
are not we rather ? neverthelefs Ave have not ufed this 
power ; but fuffer all things, left we fhould hinder the 
gofpel of Chrift. 

13 d Do ye not know, that they which minifter 
about holy things || live of the things of the temple ? 
and they which wait at the altar are partakers with the 
altar ? 

14 Even fo hath the Lord ordained, e that they 
which preach the gofpel Ihould live of the gofpel. 

15 But I have ufed none of thefe things ; neither 
have I written thefe things that it ihould be fo done 
unto me : for it were better for me to die, than that 
any man fhould make my glorying void. 

16 For though I preach the gofpel, I have nothing 
to giory of : for necefiity is laid upon me ; yea, woe 
is unto me if I preach not the gofpel. 

17 For if I do this thing willingly, I have a reward : 
but if againft my will, a difpenfation of the gospel is 
committed unto me. 

18 What is my reward then ? Verily that* when 
I preach the gofpel, I may make the gofpel of Chrift 
without charge, that Iabufe not my power in the gof- 
pel. 

19 For though I be Free from all men, yet have 
I made myfelf fervant unto all, that I might gain the 
more. 

20 And unto the Jews I became as a Jew, that I 
might gain the Jews ; to them that are under the law, 
as under the law, that I might gain them that are under 
the law ; 

21 To them that are without law, as without law, 
{being not without law to God, but under the law to 
Chrift,) that I might gain them that are without law. 

22 To the weak became I as weak, that I might 
gain the weak : I am made all things to all men, that I 
might by all means fave fome. 

23 And this I do for the gofpei's fake, that I,rnlght 
be partaker thereof with ysu. 

24 Know ye not, that they which run in a race, run 
-all, but one receive th the prize? So run that ye amay 
obtain. 

25 And every man that ftriveth for the maftery is 
temperate in all things. Mow, they do it to obtain a 
corruptible crown, but we an incorruptible.

1 The Jews had sacraments typical of ours, yet many 
of them perished through sin. 6 Their 'examples 
should serve, as they were intended, for our admoni- 
tion. 14 Not to partake of idol sacrifices, and thus 
hold fellowship with devils. 23 In things lawful the 
good of others to be consulted. 

MOREOVER, brethren, I would not that ye 
Ihould be ignorant, how that all our fathers were 
under a the cloud, and all paffed through b the lea ; 

2 And were all baptized unto Mofes in the cloud, Numb 
and in the fea : 

3 And did all eat the fame c fpiritual meat : 

4 And did all drink the fame d fpiritual drink : (for 
they drank of that fpiritual Rock that || followed 
them ; and that Rock was Chrift :) 

5 But with many of them God was not well pleafed ; 
for they e were overthrown in the wildernefs. 

6 Now thefe tilings were f our examples, to the f <>$■ 
intent we fhould not lull after evil things, as f they &££?• 
alfo lulled. '»f* 

7 Neither be ye idolaters, as were fome of them ; f s | l , m - 
as it is written, ° The people fat down to eat and drink, e E "°i

8 Neither let us commit fornication as fome of 
them committed, and h fell in one day three and 
twenty thoufand. 

9 Neither Jet us tempt Chrift, as fome of them 
alfo tempted, and ' were deftroyed of ferpents. 

10 Neither murmur ye, as fome of them alfo mur- 
mured, and k were deftroyed of the deftroyer. 

11 Now all thefe things happened unto them for 
|| enfamples ; and they are written for our admonition, 
upon whom the ends of the world are come. 

12 Wherefore, let him that thinketh he ftandeth, 
take heed left he fall. 

13 There hath no temptation taken you, but J] fuch ^ u 
as is common to man : but God is faithful, who will 

not fuffer you to be tempted above that ye are able ; 
but will with the temptation alfo make a way to efcape, 
that ye may be able to bear it. 

14 Wherefore, my dearly beloved, flee from idolatry. 

15 I fpeakas to wife men : judge ye what I fay. 

16 The cup of blefling which we blefs, is it not 
the communion of the blood of Chrift ? the bread 
which we break, is it not the communion of the body 
of Chrift? 

17 For we be'mg many, are one bread, and one 
body : for we are all partakers of that one bread. 

18 Behold Ifrael after the flefh : are not they which 
eat of the facrifices partakers of the altar ? 

19 What fay I then ? that the idol is any thing? or 
that which is offered in facrince to idols is any thing ? 

20 But I say, that the things which the Gentiles 
1 facrince, they facrince to devils, and not to God : and 
I would not that ye fhould have fellowfhip with devils. 

21 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the 
cup of devils; ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's 
table and of the table of devils. 

22 Do we provoke the Lord to jealoufy ? are we 
ftronger than he ?

23 All things are lawful for me, but all things are 
not expedient ; all things are lawful for me, but all 
things edify not.

other's wealth.

26 For m the earth is the Lord's, and the fulnefs

27 If any of them that believe not bid you to a feast, 
and ye be difpofeel to go ; whatfoever is let before 
you, eat, afking no queftion for confeience' fake. 

28 But if any man. lay unto you, This is offered in 
facrifice unto idols, eat not, for his fake that fhewed 
it, and for confeience' fake ; for " the earth is the 
Lord's, and the fulnefs thereof: 

29 Confeience, I fay, not thine own, but of the

31 ° Whether, therefore, ye eat, or drink, or what-

1 Paulcxhorteth to follow him as he did Christ, 2 and 
commendetb their observance of the rides he had 
given ■: 3 he forbiddeth men to pray with their heads 
covered, andwomen with their heads uncovered: 17 
he blameth abuses in their religious assemblies, 20 
and prof anation of the Lord's supper : 23 he cadet h 
to remembrance the first institution thereof and the 
danger of partaking unworthily. 

E ye followers of me, even as I alfo am of Chrift. 
2* Now I praife you, brethren, that ye remember 
me in all things, ar.d keep the || ordinances, as I deliv- 
ered them to you. 

3 But I would have you know, that a the head of 
every man is Chrift ; and the head of the woman is 
the man ; and the head of Chrift is God. 

4 Every man praying or prophefying, having his 
head covered, elilhonoureth his head. 

5 But every woman that prayeth or prophefieth 
with be/head uncovered, difhonoureth her head : for 
that is even all one as if fhe were fliaven. 

6 For if the woman be not covered, let her alfo be 
fhorn : but if it be a ihame for a woman to be fhorn 
or fhaven, let her be covered. 

7 For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, 
Forafmuch as b he is the image and glory of God : but J 
the woman is the glory of the man. 

8 For the man is not of the woman ; but the wo- 
man of the man. 

9 c Neither was the man created for the woman ; 
but the woman for the man. 

10 For this caufe ought the woman to have fi power 
on her head becaufe of the angels. 

11 Ncverthelefs, neither is the man without the 
woman, neither the woman without the man, in the ^ 
Lord. 

12 For as the woman is of the man, even fo is

13 Judge in yourfelves ; is it comely that a woman 
pray unto God uncovered ? 

14 Doth not even nature itfelf teach you, that if a 
man have long hair, it is a fhame unto him ? 

15 But if a woman haA'e long hair, it is a glory to 
her : for her hair is given her for a || covering", 

16 But if any man feem to be contentious, we have 
no fuch cuftom, neither the churches of God. 

17 Now in this that I declare unto you, I praife you 
not, that ye come together not for the better, but for 
the worfe. 

18 For, firft of all, when ye come together in the 
church, I hear that there be || divifions among you ; 11 or, 
and I partly believe it. Icte ** 

19 For there muft be alfo || herefies among you, \\ or, seen, 
that they which are approved may be made manifeft

20 When ye come together, therefore, into one

praife you in this ? I praile you not. 

23 For I have received of the Lord that which alfo 

I delivered unto you, d That the Lord Jefus, the same a Mat. 26 25, 
night in which he was betrayed, took bread : Luke 22 19". 

24 And, when he had given thanks, he brake it, 
and faid, Take, eat ; this is my body, which is brok- 
en for you : this elo || in remembrance of me. ii ° r ' f^a. 

25 After the fame manner alfo he took the cup, when JrS." 
he had Hipped, faying, This cup is the new teftament 

in my blood : this elo ye, as oft as ye drink it in re- 
membrance of me. 

26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this 
cup, || ye elo (hew the Lord's eleath till he come. 

27 Wherefore, whofoever fliall eat this breael and 
drink this cup of the Lord unworthily, fhall.be guilty 
of the body and blood of the Lord. 

28 But let a man examine himfeif, and fo let him 
eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 

29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily,

32 But when we are judged, we are chaftened of the 
Lord, that we fhould not be condemned with the world. 

33 Wherefore, mybrethren, when ye come togeth-

1 None can own Christ but by the Hohi Ghost, 4 whose 
gifts are divers, 7 and dealt to different persons to 
profit withal. 12 As many members make up one

14 and as every member of the natural body hath ■ 
a necessary function allotted to it, 27 so is it with

Of spiritual gifts. 

NOW, concerning fpiritual gifts, 
would not have you ignorant. 

2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away 
unto thefe dumb idols, even as ye were led. 

3 Wherefore I give you to underfland, that no man 
fpeEiking by the Spirit of God calleth Jefus [| accurfed ; 
and that no man can fay that Jefus is the Lord but by 
the Holy Ghoft. 

4 Now a there are diverfities of gifts, but the fame 
Spirit. 

5 And there are differences of adminiftrations, but 
the fame Lord. 

6 And there are diverfities of operations, but it is 
the fame God which worketh all in all. # 

7 But the manifeftation of the Spirit is given to 
£very man to profit withal. 

8 For to one is given by the fpirit the word of 
wifdom ; to another the word of knowledge by the 
fame Spirit', 

9 To another faith by the fame Spirit ; to another 
the gifts of healing by the fame Spirit ; 

10 To another the working of miracles ; to another 
prophecy; to another difcerning of fpirits ; to another 
ethers kinds of tongues ; to another the interpretation 
of tongues .: 

11 But all thefe worketh that one and the felfsame 
Spirit, dividing to every man feverally as he will. 

12 For as the body is one, and hath many mem- 
bers, and all the members of that one body, being 
many, are one body : fo alfo is Chrift. 

13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one 
body, whether we be Jews or t Gentiles, whether we 
be bond or free ; and have been all made to drink into 
one Spirit 

14 For the body is not one member, but many. 

15 If the foot (hall fay, Becaufe I am not the hand, 
I am not of the body ; is it therefore not of the body ? 

16 And if the ear fhall fay, Becaufe I am not the 
eye, I am not of the body ; is it therefore not of the 
body ? 

17 If the whole body were an eye, where were the 
hearing ? if the whole were hearing, where were the 
fmelling ? 

18 But now hath God fet the members every one 
of them in the body, as it hath pleafed him, 

19 And if they were all one member, where were 
the body ? 

20 But now are they many members, yet but one 
body.' 

2i And the eye cannot fay unto the hand, I have 
no need of thee ; nor again, the head to the feet, I 
have no need of you. 

22 Nay, much more thofe members of the body, 
which feem to be more feeble, are neceffary. 

23 And thofe members of the body, which we think 
to be lefs honourable, upon thefe we 1| beftow more 
abundant honour; and our uncomely parts have more 
abundant comelinefs. 

24 For our comely parts have no need : but God 
hath tempered the body together, having given more 
abundant honour to that part which lacked : 

25 That there fhould be no || fchifm in the body ; 
but that the members ihould have the fame care one 
for another. 

26 And whether one member fuffer, all the mem- 
bers fuffer with it ; or one member be honoured, all 
the members rejoice with it.

I unto you a more excellent way. 

CHAP. XIII. 

1 All gifts, how excellent soever, are nothing worth 
without charity. 4 The praises of charity ; 13 the 
preference thereof to faith and hope. 

THOUGH I fpeak with the tongues of men and of 
angels, and have not charity, I am become as 
founding brafs, or a tinkling cymbal. 

2 And though I have the gift of prophecy, andun- 
derftand all myfteries, and all knowledge ; and though 
I have all faith, fo that I could remove mountains* 
and have not charity, I am nothing. 

3 And though I beftow all my goods to feed the poor, 
and though I give my body to be burned, and have 
not charity, it profiteth me nothing. 

4 Charity fuffereth long, and is kind ; charity envi- 
eth not ; charity || vaunteth not itfelf, is not puffed up, 

5 Doth not behave itfelf unfeemly ; feeketh not her 
own ; is not eafily provoked ; thinketh no evil ; 

6 Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth || in the 
truth ; 

7 Beareth all things, believe th all things, hopeth all 
things, endure th all things. 

8 Charity never faileth : but whether there be prophe- 
cies, they lhall fail ; whether there be tongues, they mall 
ceafe ; whether there be knowledge, it fhall vanifh away. 

9 For we know in part, and we prophefy in part. 

10 But when that which is " perfect is come, tiien 
that which is in part fliall be done away. 

1 1 When I was a child, I fpake as a child, I under- 
ftood as a child, I || thought as a child : but when I 
became a man, I put away chiidifh tilings. 

12 For now we fee through a glafs, t darkly ; but 
then face to fice : now I know in pan ; but then fliall 
I know even as alfo I am known. 

13 And now abideth faith, hope, charity, thefe 
three : but the greateft of thefe is charity. 

CHAP. XIV. 

Prophecy, for its greater tendency to edification, is 
preferred before speaking with tongues. 6 Tongues 
not understood of no service to the hearers. 12 All gifts 
should be referred to edification. 21 Tongues useful 
for the conviction of unbelievers, 23 but in the assem- 
blies of the church prophecy more useful. 34 Women 
are forbidden to speak in the church. 
OLLOW after charity, and defire fpiritual gifts, 
but rather that ye may prophefy. 

2 For he that fpeaketh in an unknown tongue fpeak- 
eth not unto men, but unto God : for no man t un- 
derftandeth him ; howbeit, in the fpirit he fpeaketh 
myfteries. 

3 But he that prophefjeth fpeaketh unto men to 
edification, and exhortation, and comfort. 

4 He that fpeaketh in an unknown tongue edifieth 
but he that propheiieth edifieth the church.

5 I would that ye all fpake with tongues, but rather 
that ye propheiied : lor greater is he that prophelieth, 
than he that fpeaketh w ith tongues, except he inter- 
pret, that the church may receive edifying. 

6 Now, brethren, if I come unto you fpeaking with 
tongues, what fhall I profit you, except I fhall fpeak 
to you either by revelation, or by knowledge, or by 
prophefying, or by doctrine ? 

7 Ande^ en things without life giving found, wheth- 
er pipe or harp, except they give a diftinfti on in the 
|| founds, how fhall it be known what is piped or 
harped ? 

8 For if the trumpet give an uncertain found, who 
fhall prepare himfelf to the battle ?" 

9 So likewife ye, except ye utter by the tongue 
words f eafy to be underftood, how fhall it be known 
what is fpoken ? for ye iliali fpeak into the air. 

10 There are, it may be, fo many kinds of voices in 
the world, and none of them is without fignification. 

11 Therefore, if I know not the meaning of the 
voice, I fhall be unto him that fpeaketh a barbarian, 
and he that fpeaketh shall be a barbarian unto me. 

12 Even fo ye, forafmuch as ye are zealous t of 
fpiritual gifts feek that ye may excel to the edifying of 
the church. 

13 Wherefore, let him that fpeaketh in an unknown 
tongue, pray that he may interpret. 

14 For if I pray in an unknown tongue, my fpirit 
prayeth, but my underftanding is unfruitful. 

15 What is it then ?. I will pray with the fpirit, and 
I will pray with the underftanding alfo ; I will fing with 
the fpirit, and I will ling with the underftanding alfo. 

16 Elfe, when thou fhalt blefs with the fpirit, how 
fhall he that occupieth the room of the unlearned 
fey, Amen, at thy giving of thanks, feeing he under- 
ftandeth not what thou fayeft ?.' 

17 For thou verily giveft thanks well r ' but "the other 
is not edified- 

18 I thank my God, I fpeak with tongues more 
than you all : 

19 Yet in the church I had rather fpeak five words 
with my underftanding, that by my voice I might teach 
others alfo, than ten thoufand words in an unknown 
tongue. 

20 Brethren, be not children in underftanding : 
aMMth.183. howbeit, in malice a be ye children, but in under- 
f . Gr :r p / r A' : .'' ftanding be f men. 

21 In the law it is b _ written, With men of other 
tongues and otherlips will I fpeak unto this people ; and 
yet for all that will they not hear me, faith the Lord. 

22 Wherefore tongues are for align, not to them 
that believe, but to them that believe not; but proph- 
efying setyeth not for them that believe not, but for 
them which believe.. 

23 If therefore, the whole church be come together 
into one place, and all fpeak with tongues, and there 
come in those that are unlearned or unbelievers, will 
they not fay that ye are mad ? 

24 But if all prophefy , and there come in one that 
believeth not, or one unlearned, he is convinced of all, 
he is judged of all : 

25 And thus are the fecrets of his heart made mani- 
feft ; and fo, falling down on his face, he will wor- 
fhip God, an<1 report that God is in you of a truth. 

26 How is it then, brethren ? when ye come togeth- 
er, every one of you hath a pfalm, hath a doclrine,

j Let all things be done unto edifying. 

27 If any man fpeak in an unknown tongue, let it be

and let one interpret. 

28 But if there be no interpreter, let him keep filence

29 Let the prophets ipeak two or three,, and let 
the other judge. 

30 If any thing be revealed to another that iitteth

31 For ye may all prophefy one by one, that all-

33 For God is not the author of f confufion, but of

for it is not permitted unto them to fpeak ; but they 
are commanded to be under obedience, as alfo faith 
d the law. 

35 And if they will learn any thing, let them afk 
their hufbands at home : for it is a fiiame for women 
to fpeak in the ehurch. 

36 What ! came the word of God out from you ? 
or came it unto you only ?. 

37 If any man think himfelf to be a prophet, or 
fpiritual,. let him acknowledge that the things that I 
write unto you are the commandments of the Lord. 

38 But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant. 

39 Wherefore, brethren, .covet to prophefy, and. 
forbid not to {peak with tongues. 

40 Let all tilings be done decently, and in order.. 

CHAP. XV. 

I From the truth of Christ's resurrection the necessity 
of ours proved. 20 Christ, the first fruits, being rais-

his. 35 The manner of the resurrection. 51 The 
change that shall be wrought at the last day both oh 
the dead and living, &c. 

OREOVER, brethren, I declare unto you the 
gofpel which I- preached unto you, which alfo' 
ye have received, and wherein ye ftand ; 

2 By which alfo ye are laved, if ye || keep in mem- l°,j' Pit 
ory fwhat I preached, unto you, uniefs ye have t sr. •

3 For I delivered uilto you firft of all that which 
I alfo received, how that Chrift died for our fins, 
a according to the fcriptures : 

4 And that he was buried, and that he rofe again 
the third day, b according to the fcriptures : 

5' c And that he was f.en of Cephas, then of the 
twelve. 

6 After that he was feen of above five hundred

7 After that he was feen of James ; then of all the

9 For I am the Ieaft of the apoftles, that am not

yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. 

1 1 Therefore, whether it were I or they, fo we 
preach, and fo ye believed. 

1 2 Now, if Chrift be preached that he rofe from 
the dead, how fay fome among you that there is no 
refurreclionofthe dead ? 

13 But if there be no refurrecYion of the dead, then 
is Chrift not rifen. 

14 And if Chrift be not rifen, then is our preaching 
rain , and your faith is alio vain. 

15 Yea, and we are found falfe witneffes of God : be- 
eaufewe have teftified of God that heraifed up Chrifl; 
whom he railed not up, if fo be that the dead rife not. 

16 For if the dead rife not, then is not Chrift raifed ; 

17 And if Chrift be not raifed, your faith is vain ; 
ye are yet in your fins. 

18 Then they alfo which are fallen afleep in Chrifl 
are perilhed. 

19 If in this life only we have hope in Chrift, we 
are of all men moft miferable. 

20 But now is Chrift rifen from the dead, and be- 
come e the firft fruits of them that flept. 

21 For fince by man came death, by man came alfo 
the refurreclion of the dead. 

22 For as in Adam all die, even fo in Chrift fhall 
all be made alive. 

23 But f every man in his own order : Chrift the firft 
fruits, afterward they that are Chrift's at his coming. 

24 Then cometh the end r when he fhall have delivered 
tip the kingdom toGod,even theFather: whenhe fhall 
have put down all rule, and all authority and power. 

25 For he mufl reign, s till he hath put all enemies 
under his feet. 

26 The laft enemy that fhall be deftroyed is death. 

27 For he h hath put all things under his feet. But 
when he faith, All things are put under />/w2, it wmanifeft 
that he is excepted which did put all things under him. 

28 And when all things (hall be fubdued unto him, 
then fhall the Son alfo himfelf be fubje&unto him that 
put all things under him, that God may be all in all. 

29 Elfe what fhall they do which are baptized for 
the dead, if the dead rife not at all I why are tiiey then 
baptized for the dead I 

30 And why ftand we in jeopardy every hour I 

31 I proteft by || your rejoicing which I have in 
Chrift Jefus our Lord, I die daily. 

32 If || after the manner of men I have fought with 
beafts at Ephefus, what advantageth it me if the dead 

, rife not ? Met us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die. 

33 Be not deceived ;, evil communications corrupt 
good manners. 

34 Awaketorighteoufnefs, andfin not ; for fome have 
not the knowledge of God : I fpeak this to your fhame. 

35 But fome man will fay, How are the dead raifed 
up ; and with what body do they come ? 

36 Thou fool, that which thou foweft is not quick- 
ened except it die r 

37 And that which thou foweft, thou foweft not 
that body that fhall be, but bare grain, it may chance 
of wheat, or of fome other grain: 

38 But God giveth it a body as it hath pleafed him, 
and to every feed his own body. 

39 All fiefh is not the fame fiefh : but there is one 
kind o/"flefli of men, another fiefh of beafts, another 
of fiflies, and another of birds.,

reftrial : but the glory of the celeftial is. one, and the 
glory of the terreftrial is another. 

41 There is one glory of the fun, and another glory 
of the moon, and another glory cftheftars: for one 
ftar diftereth from another ftar in glory. 

42 So alfo is the_ refurrection of the dead : it is 
fown in corruption, it is raifed in incorruption : 

■43 It is fown in dishonour, it is raifed in glory ; 
it is fown in weaknefs, it is raifed in power ; 

44 It is fown a natural body, it is raifed a fpiritual 
body. There is a natural body, and there is a fpirit- 
ual body. 

45 And fo it is written, The firft man Adam fc was kGen - s'- 
made a living foul,, thelaft Adam was. made a quick- 
ening fpirit. 

46 Howbeit that was not firft which is fpiritual, 
but that which is natural - T and afterward that which 
is fpiritual. 

47 The firft man is of the earth, earthy; the fecond 
man is the Lord from heaven, 

48 As is the earthy, fuch are they alfo that are 
earthy - r and as is the heavenly,, fuch arethey alfo that 
are heavenly, 

49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, 
we fhall aifo bear the image of the heavenly. 

50 Now this I fay, brethren, that fiefh and blood 
cannot inherit the kingdom of God ; neither doth 
corruption inherit incorruption.. 

51 Behold, I fhew you a myftery ; we fhall not all 
fleep, but we fhall all be changed,

The Second Epistle of PAUL, the Apoftle, to the CORINTHIANS. 

CHAP. I. 

The apostle's salutation : 3 he blesseth God for the 
comforts and deliverances given him in all his afflic- 
tions, 8 and particularly what God had done for him 
in his late danger in Asia: 12 he calleth both his own 
€onscience and theirs to witness his sincerity in 
preaching the gospel; 15 heexcusetb his not coming 
to them, as not proceeding from lightness, 23 but 
from lenity toward them. 

PAUL, an apoftle of Jefus Chrift, by the will of 
God, and Timothy our brother, unto the church 
of God w Inch is at Corinth, with all the faints which 
are in all Achaia : 

2 Grace be to you, and peace from God our Fa- 
ther, and from the Lord Jefus Chrift. 

3 a Blelfed be God, even the Father of our Lord 
Jefus Chrift, the Father of mercies, and the God of all 
comfort, 

4 Who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that 
we may be able to comfort them which are in any 
trouble, by the comfort wherewith we ourfelves are 
comforted of God. 

5 For as the fufterings of Chrift abound in us, fo 
our confolation alfo aboundeth by Chrift. 

6 And whether we be afflicled, it is for your con- 
folation and falvation, which || is effectual in the en- 
during of the lame fufferings which we alfo fuffer ; 
or whether we be comforted, it is for your confola- 
tion and falvation. 

7 And our hope cf yon is ftcdfaft, knowing, that as 
ye are partakers of the fufferings, fo shall ye be alfo of 
the confolation. 

8 For we would not, brethren, have you ignorant 
of oar trouble which came to us in Aha, that we 
were preffedoutof meafure, above ftrength, infomuch 
that we defpaired even of life : 

9 But we had the || fentence of death in ourfelves, 

4Z 



that we fliould not truft in ourfelves, but in God, 
which raifeth the dead ; 

10 Who delivered us from fo great a death, and 
doth deliver ; in whom we truft that he will yet de- 
liver us ; 

11 Ye alfo b helping together by prayer for us, 
that, for the gift bestowed upon us by the means of 
many perfons, thanks may be given by many on our 
behalf. 

12 For our rejoicing is this, the teftimony of our 
confeience, that in fimplicity and godly fmcerity, not 
with flefhly wifdom, but by the grace of God, we 
have had our converfation in the world, and more 
abundantly to you ward. 

13 For we write none other things unto vou than 
what ye read or acknowledge ; and I truft" ye fhall 
acknowledge even to the end ; 

14 As alfo ye have acknowledged us in part, that 
we are your rejoicing, even as ye alfo are ours, in the 
day of the Lord Jefus. 

15 And in this confidence I was minded to come un- 
to you before, that ye might have a fecond || benefit ; 

16 And to pals by you into Macedonia, and to 
come again out of Macedonia unto you, and of you 
to be brought on my way toward Judca. 
.. , 17 When I, therefore, was thus minded, did I life 
hghtnefs ? or the things that I purpofe, do I purpofe 
according to the flefh, that with me there fliould be 
yea, yea, and nay, nay ? 

18 But as God is true, our || word toward you was 
not yea and nay. 

19 For the Son of God, Jefus Chrift, who waspreach- 
ed among you by us, even by me, and Sylvanus, and 
1 imotheus, was not yea and nay, but in him Was yea. 

20 Tor all the promifes of God in him arc yea, and 
m him Amen, unto the glorv of God by us. 

21 Now he which ftablifheth us with you in Chrift, 
and hath anointed us, is God ;

Paul blessetb God for Ms success. . II. CORINTHIANS. 

22 Who hath alfo fealed us, and given the earnefl 
of the Spirit in our hearts. 

23 Moreover, I call God for a record upon my foul, 
that to fpare you, I came not as yet unto Corinth. 

24 Not for that we have dominion over your faith, 
but are helpers of your joy : for by faith ye ftand. 

CHAP. II. 

1 Paul having shewn the motive of tenderness why he 
came?iotto Corinth, §declareth himself satisfied with 
the censure inflicted on the incestuous person, andde- 
sireth them to forgive him, 10 as he himself had for- 
given him in Christ' 's name : 12 his not finding Ti- 
tus at Troas had caused him to depart forthwith to 
Macedonia : 14 he blessetb God for the success of his 
labours in every place, &c. 

BUT I determined this with myfelf, that I would 
not come again to you in heaviness. 

2 For if I make you forry, who is he then that mak- 
eth me glad, but the fame which is made, forry by me ? 

3 And I wrote this fame unto you, left, when I came, 
I fhould have forrow from them of whom I ought to 
rejoice ; having confidence in you all, that my joy is 
the joy of you all. 

4 For out of much affliction and anguifh of heart, 
I wrote unto you with many tears ; not that ye fhould 
be grieved, but that ye might know the love which I 
have more abundantly unto you. 

5 But if any have caufed grief, he hath not grieved 
me, hut in part ; that I may not overcharge you all. 

6 Sufficient to fuch a man is this || punifhment 
which was inflicted ol_ many. 

7 So that contrariwife, ye ought rather to forgive 
him, and comfort him, left perhaps fuch an one fhould 
be {wallowed up with overmuch forrow. 

8 Wherefore I befeech you that ye would confirm 
your love toward him. 

9 For to this end alfo did I write, that I might know 
the proof of you, whether ye be obedient in all things. 

10 To whom ye forgive any thing, I forgive alfo : 
for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave it, for 
your fakes forgave lit, || in the perfcn of Chrift ; 

11 Left Satan fhould get an advantage of us : for 
we are not ignorant of his devices. 

12 Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach 
Chrift's gofpel, and a door w r as opened unto me of the 
Lord, 

13 I had no reft in my fpirit, becaufe I found not 
Titus my brother : but taking my leave of them, I 
went from thence into Macedonia. _ 

14 Now thanks be unto God, which always caufeth 
us to triumph in Chrift, and maketh manifeft the fa- 
vour of his knowledge by us in every place. 

15 For we are unto God a fweet favour of Chrift 
in them that are faved, and in them that perifh. 

16 To the one we are the favour of death unto 
death ; and to the other the favour of life unto life : 
and who is fufficient for thefe things ? 

17 For we are not as many, which || a corrupt the 
word of God : but as of hncerity, but as of God, in 
the light of God fpeak we in Chrift. 

CHAP. III. 

1 To obviate the imputation of vainglory, Paul shew- 
eth that the gifts and graces of the Corinthians were 
a sufficient xommendadon of his ministry : 4 he as- 
cribcth the efficacy entirely to God : 6 he proveth the

The superiority of the gospeh 

superior excellency of the gospel ministry to that of 
the law; 12 and thereupon justificth his plain speak- 
ing, as under a dispensation of greater light and lib- 
erty than that of Moses. 

DO we begin again to commend ourfelves ? or 
need we, asfome others, epifdes of commenda- 
tion to you, or letters- of commendation from you ? 

2 Ye are our epiftle written in our hearts, known 
and read of all men : 

3 Forasmuch as ye_ are manifeftly declared to be the 
epiftie of Chrift, miniftered by us, written not with 
ink, but with the Spirit of the living God ; not in ta- 
bles of ftone, but in fiefhy tables of the heart. 

4 And fuch truft have we through Chrift to God- 
ward : 

5 Not that we are fufficient of ourfelves to think any 
thing as of ourfelves ; but our fufficiency is of God ; 

6 Who alfo hath made us able minifters of the new 
teftament ; not of the letter, but of the fpirit : for the 
letter killeth, but the fpirit || giveth life. 

7 But if the miniftratiqn of death, written a?iden- 
graven in ftones, was glorious, fo that the children of 
lirael could not ftedfaftly behold the face of Moles, 
for the glory of his countenance, which glory was to 
be done away ; 

8 How fhall not the- miniftration of the Spirit be 
rather glorious ? 

9 For if the miniftration of condemnation be glory, 
much more doth the miniftration of righteoufnefs ex- 
ceed in glory. 

10 For even that which was made glorious had 
no glory in this refepect, by reafon of the glory that 
excelleth. 

11 For if that which is done away was glorious, 
much more that which remaineth is glorious. 

12 Seeing then that we have fuch hope, we ufe 
great || plainnefs of fpeech ; 

13 And not as Mofes, a which put a veil over his 
face, that the children of lirael could not ftedfaftly 
look to the end of that which is aboli fried : 

14 But their minds were blinded : for until this 
day remaineth the fame veil untaken away in the 
reading of the old teftament ; which veil is done 
away in Chrift. 

15 But even unto this day, when Mofes is read, 
the veil is upon their heart. 

16 Nevertheiefs, when it fhall turn to the Lord, 
the veil ihall be taken away. 

17 Now, the Lord is that Spirit : and where the 
Spirit of the Lord is-, there is liberty. 

18 But we all, with open face, beholding, as in a 
glafs, the glory of the Lord, are changed into the 
fame image, from glory to glory, even as || by the 
Spirit of the Lord. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 Paul declareth his unwearied zeal and integrity in 
preaching the gospel; 3 so that if any see not the truth 
of it, it is owing to a corrupt heart, not the want of 
light. 7 The weakness andsufferings he was exposed 
to, redounded to the praise of God'' s power. 12 The 

■ assurance of an eternal reward animated him so to 
endure for the church's sake. 

THEREFORE, feeing we have this miniftry, as 
we have received mercy, we faint not ;

honefty, not walking in craftinefs, nor handling the

the truth, commending ourfelves to every man's con- 
science in the light of God. 

3 But if our gofpel be hid, it is hid to them that 
are loft : 

4 In whom the god of this world hath blinded the 
minds of them which believe not, left the light of the 
glorious gofpel of Chrift, who is the image of God, 
-mould iliine unto them. 

5 For we preach not ourfelves, but Chrift Jefus 
the Lord ; and ourfelves your fervants for Jefus' fake. 

6 For God) who commanded the light to mine out 
of darknefs, hath mined in our hearts, to give the 
-light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face ) 
of Jefus Chrift. 

7 But we have this treafure in earthen veffels, that 
the excellency of the power may be of God, and not 
of us. 

8 V/e are troubled on every fide, yet not diftreffed ; 
we are perplexed, but || not in defpair ; 

9 Pcrfecuted, but not forfaken ; call down, but 
not deftroyed ; 

10 Always bearing about in the body the dying of 
the Lord Jefus, that the life alio of Jefus might be 
made manifeft in our body. 

11 For we which live are alway delivered unto 
death for Jefus' fake, that the life alfo of Jefus might 
be made manifeft in our mortal fiefh. 

12 So then death worketh in us, but life in you. 

13 We having the fame Spirit of faith, according 
as it is written, a I believed, and therefore have I 
fpoken ; we alfo believe, and therefore fpeak : 

14 Knowing that he which raifed up the Lord 
Jefus, fhall raife up us alfo by Jefus, and mail prefent 
wswith you. 

15 For all things are for your fakes, that the abun- 
dant grace might, through the thankfgiving of many, 
redound to the glory of God. 

16 For which caufe we faint not ; but though our 
outward man perifh, yet the inward man is renewed 
day by day. 

17 For our light affliction, which is but for a mo- 
ment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eter- 
nal weight of glory ; 

18 While we look not at the things which are feen, 
but at the things which are not feen : for the things 
which are feen, are temporal, but the things which 
are not feen, are cternah 

CHAP. V. 

1 Paul dcclareth that, in assured hope of a blessed im- 
mortality, he was indifferent to life, and lab owed on- 
ly to approve himself to Christ : 10 that blowing a 
general judgment would follow, and the terrors of it, 
he was solicitous to persuade men : 14 that moved by 
the love of Christ, he was dead to all former regards : 
17 that all things being now made new by God in 
Christ reconciling the ■world to himself, 20 he, as 
Christ' 's ambassador, besought men to embrace the 
offered reconciliation. 

FOR- we know, that if our earthly houfe of this 
tabernacle were diffolved, we have a building 
of God, an houfe not made with hands, eternal in 
the heavens. 

2 For in this we groan, earncftly defiring to be: 
dothed upon with our houfe which is from heaven :

V, VI. He treateth of the general judgment. 

3 If fo be that being clothed, we lhall not be found 
naked. 

4 For we that are in this tabernacle) do groan, be- 
ing burdened ; not for that we would be unclothed, 
but clothed upon, that mortality might be fwallowed 
up of life. 

5 Now » he that hath wrought us for the felfsame 
thing is God, who alfo hath given unto us the earneft 
of the Spirit. 

6 Therefore vje are always confident, knowing that 
whilft we are at home in the body, we are abfent from 
the Lord : 

7 (For we walk by faith, not by fight :) 

8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be 
abfent from the body, and to be prefent with the Lord. 

9 Wherefore we || labour, that, whether prefent or 
abfent, we may be accepted of him. 

10 a For we muft all appear before the judgment *ffi 
feat of Chrift ; that every one. may receive the things 
done in his body, according to that he hath done, 
whether it be good or bad* 

11 Knowing, therefore, the terror of the Lord, we 
perfuade men ; but we are made manifeft unto God, 
and I truft alfo are made manifeft in your confeiences. 

12 For we commend not ourfelves again unto you, 
but give you occalion to glory on our behalf, that ye 
may have fomewhat to answer them which glory f in 
appearance, and not in hearts 

13 For whether we he befide ourfelves, it is to 
God ; or whether we be fober, it is for your caufe. 

14 For the love of Chrift conftraineth us ; becaufe we 
thus judge, that if one died for all, then were all dead : 

15 And that he died for all, that they which live, 
mould not henceforth live unto themfelves, but unto 
him which died for them, and rofe again. 

16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after 
the flefh; yea, though Ave have known Chrift after the 
flefh, yet now henceforth know we him no more. 

17 Therefore, if any man be in Chrift || he is a new 
creature : b old things are palled away : behold, all ^^F 1 
things are become new. 

18 And all things are of God, who hath reconciled 
us to himfelf by Jefus Chrift, and hath given to us the 
miniftry of reconciliation ; 

19 To wit, that God was in Chrift, reconciling the 
world unto himfelf, not imputing their trefpaffes unto 
them ; and hath f committed unto us the word of 
reconciliation. 

20 Now then, we are ambaffadors for Chrift, as 
though God did befeech you by us : we pray you in 
Chrift's Head, be ye reconciled to God. 

21 c For he hath made him to be' fin for us, who 
knew no fin ; that Ave might be made the righteouf- <*& 
nefs of God in him. _ 

CHAP. VI. 

1 Paul cntreateth the Corinthians not to frustrate God's 
grace, 3 setting forth his own inoffensive, painful, 
and patient demeanour in the discharge Of his minis- 
try ; 11 of which he tclleth them he spake more 
freely for the great love he bare to them: 13 he chal- 
lengeth the like affection: 14 he dissuadethfrom any 
intimate connexion with unbelievers, 16 because be- 
lievers are become the temples of God. 

WE then/7.? workers together with him, befeech 
you alio, that ye receive not the grace of God 
in vain.

13 Now, for a recompenfe in the fame, (I fpeak

14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbe-

unrighteoufnefs I and what communion hath light 
with darknefs ? 

15 And what concord hath Chrift with Belial ? or 
what part hath he that believeth with an infidel ? 

16 And what agreement hath the temple of God 
with idols ? for c ye are the temple of the living God ;

he repeateth the assurance of his love to them, and 
declarcth what comfort he had in all his troubles by 
the report whichTitus had brought of their good will 
toward him, 8 and their godly sorrow which his for-

that their behaviour toward Titus was so answer a- 
le to his former boasting of them.

II. CORINTHIANS. Liberality recommended. 

5 For when we were come into Macedonia our flefh 
had no reft, but we were troubled on every fide : with- 
out ivere fightings, within were fears. 

6 Nevertheleis God, that comforteth thofe that are 
1 caft clown, comforted us by the coming of Titus : 

7 And not by his coming only, but by the confola- 
tion wherewith he was comforted in you, when he 
told us your earnefe defire, your mourning, your fer- 
vent mind toward me ; fo that I rejoiced the more. 

8 For though I made you forry with a letter, I do 
not repent, though I did repent : for I perceive that 
the fame epiftle hath made you forry, though it were 
but for a feafon. 

9 Now I rejoice, not that ye were made forry, but 
that ye forrowed to repentance : for ye _ were made 
forry [| after a godly manner, that ye might receive 
damage by us in nothing. 

10 For godly forrow worketh repentance to faiva- 
tion not to be repented of: but the forrow of the world 
worketh death. 

1 1 For, behold, this felfsame thing that ye forrowed 
after a godly fort, what carefulnefs it wrought in you, 
yea, what clearing of youfelves, yea, what indigna- 
tion, yea, what fear, yea, what vehement defire, j r ea, 
ivhat zeal, j r ea, what revenge ! In all things ye have 
approved yourfelves to be clear in this matter. 

12 Wherefore, though I wrote unto you, I did it 
not for his caufe that had done the wrong, nor for his 
caufe that fuffered wrong, but that our care for you in 
the fight of God might appear unto you. 

13 Therefore, we were comforted in your comfort ; 
yea, and exceedingly the more joyed we for the joy of 
Titus, becaufe his fpirit was refrefhed by you all. 

14 For if I have boalted any thing to him of you, 
I am not afhamed : but, as we fpake all things to you 
in truth, even fo our boafting, which I made before 
Titus, is found a truth. 

15 And his t inward affection is more abundant 
toward you, whilfthe remembereth the obedience of 
you all, how with fear and trembling ye received him. 

16 I rejoice, therefore, that I have confidence in 
you in all things. 

CHAP. VIII. 
1 Paul extolleth the liberal contributions of the Macedo- 
nian churches, 6 andrecommendeth the like charity to 
the Corinthians, 9 enforced by the example of Christ, 
10 and consistent with the alacrity they had already 
expressed : 16 he sheweth the willingness of Titus to 
come and further this good work, and commendeth 
him to their love, together with the brethren, who 
•were sent with him on the same errand. 

MOREOVER, brethren, we do you to wit' of the 
grace of God bellowed on the churches of 
Macedonia; . 

2 How that, in a great trial of affliction, tne abun- 
dance of their joy, and their deep poverty, abounded 
unto the riches of their liberality. 

3 For to their power, I bear record, yea, and be- 
yond their power, they were willing of themfelves ; 

4 Praying us with much entreaty that we would re- 
ceive the gift, and take upon us the fellowfhip of the 
minifiering to the faints. 

5 And this they did, not as we hoped ; but firft gaye 

their own fclves to the Lord, and unto us by the will 

of God : .

6 Infomuch, that we defired Titus, that as he had 
begun, fo he would alio finifh in you the fame grace alio. 

7 Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, 
and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, 
and in your love to us ; see that ye abound in this 
grace alio. 

8 I fpeak not by commandment, but by occafion 
of the forwardnefs of others, and to prove the fincer- 
ity of your love. 

9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jefus Chrift, 
that though be was rich, yet for your fakes he became 
poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich. 

10 And herein I give my advice : for this is expe- 
dient for you, who have begun before, not only to do, 
but alfo to be t forward a year ago. 

11 Now, therefore, .perform the doing of it ; that, 
as there was a readinefs to will, fo there may be a per- 
formance alfo out of that which ye have. 

12 For if there be firft a willing mind, it is accepted 
according to that a man hath, and 'not according to 
that he hath not. 

13 For I mean not that other men be eafed, and 
you burdened ; . 

14 But by an equality, that now at this time your 
abundance may be a supply for their want, that their 
abundance alfo may be a supply for your want, that 
there may be equality : 

15 As it is written, a He that had gathered much 
had nothing over ; and he that had gathered little had 
no lack. 

16 But thanks be to God, which put the fame 
earneft care into the heart of Titus for you. 

17 For indeed he accepted the exhortation ; but 
being more forward, of his own accord he went un- 
to you. 

18 And we have fent with him the brother, whofe 
praife is in the gofpel throughout all the churches : 

19 And not that only, but who was alfo chofen of 
the churches to travel with us with this || grace, which 
is adminiftered by us to the glory of the fame Lord, 
and declaration of your ready mind : 

20 Avoiding this, that no man fhould blame us in 
this abundance which is adminiftered by us : 

21 Providing for honeft things, not only in the 
fight of the Lord, but alfo in the light of men. 

22 And we have fent with them our brother, whom 
we have oftentimes proved diligent in many things, 
but now much more diligent, upon the great confi- 

lor,Kehath.dence which || I have m you. 

23 Whether any do inquire of Titus, he is my part- 
ner and fellow helper concerning you : or our brethren 
be inquired of, they are the meflengers of the churches, 
and the glory of Chrift. 

24 Wherefore Ihew ye to them, and before the 
churches, the proof of your love, and of our boafting 
on your behalf. 

CHAP. IX. 

1 Paul shell etb the reason why, though he knew their 
forwardness, he had sent Titus and the brethren be- 
forehand, to make up their collections against his 
coming : 6 he stirreth them up to give bountifully and 
cheerfully, as a likely means of increasing their 
store, 12 and as productive of many thanksgivings 
unto God. 

FOR as touching the miniftering to the faints, it is 
fuperfiuous for me to write to you : 



I Or, p ft. 



2 For I know the forwardnefs of your mind, for 
which I boaft of you to them of Macedonia, that 
Achaia was ready a year ago ; and your zeal hath 
provoked very many. 

3 Yet have I fent the brethren, left our boafting 
of you lhould be in vain in this behalf; that, as I faid, 
ye may be ready. 

4 Left haply if they of Macedonia come with me 
and find you unprepared, we (that we fay not you) 
fhould be afhamed in this fame confident boafting. 

5 Therefore I thought it neceffary to exhort the 
brethren, that they would go before unto you, and 
make up beforehand your f bounty, |] whereof ye 
had notice before, that the fame might be ready, as 
a matter of bounty, and not as o/covetoufnefs. 

6 But this I say, He which foweth fparingly fhall 
reap alfo fparingly ; and he which foweth bountifully 
fhall reap alfo bountifully. 

7 Every man according as he purpofeth in his heart, 
so let him give ; not grudgingly, or of neceffity : for 
a God loveth a cheerful giver. 

8 And God is able to make^ all grace abound 
toward you - T that ye, alwaj T s having all fufficiency in 
all things, may abound to every good work ; 

9 (As it is written, b He hath difperfed abroad ; he 
hath given to the poor : his righteoufnefs remaineth 
for ever. 

10 Now, he that c miniftereth feed to the fower,both 
minifter bread for your food, and multiply your feed 
fown, and increafe the fruits of your righteoufnefs :) 

1 1 Being enriched in every thing to all bounti- 
fulnefs, which caufeth through us thanklgiving to 
God. 

12 For the adminiftration of this fervice not only 
fupplieth the want of the faints, but is abundant alfo 
by many thankfgivings unto God ; 

13 (Whiles by the experiment of this miniftration 
they glorify God for your profeffed fubjeclion unto 
the gofpel of Chrift, and for your liberal diftribution 
unto them, and unto all men ;) 

14 And by their prayer for you, which long after 
you for the exceeding grace of God in you. 

15 Thanks be unto God for his unfpeakable gift. 

CHAP. X. 

1 Paul entreateth the Corinthians not to leave him 
cause to exert against them that spiritual power with 
which he was armed against those who undervalued 
his person and apostolical character : 12 he pointeth 
out the difference between those who were arrogant 
and vain, and taking merit from the labours of others, 
and himself , who kept strictly _ within the province 
allotted him by God; and, avoiding self commenda- 
tion, sought honour from the commendation of Christ. 
NOW I Paul myfelfbefeech you, by the meekiu-f's 
and gentlenefs of Chrift, who || in prefence<z#z bafe 

among you, but being abfent, am bold toward you. 

2 But I befeech you, that I may not be bold when 
I am prefent with that confidence wherewith I think 
to be bold againft fome, which || think of us as if we 
walked according to the flefli. 

3 For though we walk in the flefli, we do not war

_ 6 And having in a readinefs to revenge all difobe-

7 Do ye look on things after the outward appear- 
ance ? If any man trufl to himfelf that he is Chrift's, 
let him of himfelf think this again, that, as he is 
Chrift's even hare we Chrift's. 

8 For though I fhould boaft fomewhat more of 
our authority, which the Lord hath given us for

be afhamed ; 

9 That I may not feem as if I would terrify you by 
letters. 

10 For bis letters (fay they) are weighty and power- 
ful ; but his bodily prefence is weak, and his fpeech 
contemptible. 

1 1 Let fuch an one think this, that fuch as Ave. are 
in word by letters when we are abfent, fuch will we 
be alfo indeed when we are prefent. 

12 For we dare not make ourfelves of the number, 
or compare ourfelves with fome that commend them- 
felves : but they, meafuring themfelves by themfelves, 
and comparing themfelves among themfelves, j| are 
not wife. 

13 But we will not boaft of things without our 
meafure, but according to the meafure of the || rule, 
which God hath diftributed to us, a meafure to reach 
even unto you. 

14 For we flretch not ourfelves beyond our measure, 
as though we reached not unto you ; for we are come 
as far as to you alio in preaching the gofpel of Chrift : 

15 Not boafting of things without our meafure, that 
is, of other men's labours ; but having hope, when 
your faith is increafed, that we fhall be || enlarged by 
you according to our rule abundantly. 

16 To preach the gofpel in the regions beyond you : 
and not to boaft in another man's || line, of things 
made ready to our hand. 

17 a But he that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord. 

18 For not he that commendeth himfelf is approv- 
ed, but whom the Lord commendeth. 

CHAP. XL 
1 Paul 'unwillingly enter eth \upon a commendation of 
-himself, lest they should be perverted from the pure 
doctrine of Christ : 5 he sheweth he was equal to 
the chief est apostles ; 7 thai he declined to be charge- 
able, not for want of love to them, but to cut off all 
occasion from deceitful workers taking shelter under 
his example ; 16 that he was 'not inferior to those 
whom they so patiently submitted to, 23 but, as a 
minister of Christ, in labours and sufferings for the 
gospel's sake, xvas abundantly their superior. 

OULD to Gocl ye could bear with me a little 
in my folly ; and indeed || bear with me, 

2 For I am jealous over you with godly jeaioufy : 
for I have efpoufed you to one hufband, that I may 
prefent you as a chafte virgin to Chrift. 

3 But I fear, left by any means, as the ferpent be- 
guiled Eve through his'fubtilty, fo your minds ihould 
be corrupted from the iimplicity that is in Chrift. 

4 For if he that cometh, preacheth another Jefus 
whom we have not preached, or if ye receive another 
fpirit which ye have not received, or another gofpel 



which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with 
|| him. 

-5 For I fuppofe I was not a whit behind the very 
chiefeft apofties. 

6 But though I be rude in fpeech, vet not in kne 
edge ; but we have been thoroughly made manifeft 
among you in all things. 

7 Have I committed an offence in abafmg mvfelf 
that ye might be exalted, becaufe I have preached 
to you the gofpel of God freely ? 

8 I robbed other churches, taking wages of them, 
to do you fervice. 

9 And when I was prefent with you, and wanted, 
a I was chargeable to no man : for that which was 
lacking to m&, the brethren which came from Mace- 
donia mpplied ; and in all things I have kept myfelf 
from being burdenfome unto you, and so will I keep 
myself. 

10 As the truth of Chrift is in me, | no man fhall 
flop "me of this boafting in the regions of Achaia. 

11 Wherefore ? becaufe I love you not ? God 
knoweth. 

12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may cut off 
occafion from them which delire oecafion ; that where- 
in they glory, they may be found even as we. 

13 Forfuch are falfe_ apofties, deceitful workers, 
transforming themfelves into the apofties of Chrift. 

14 And no marvel ; for Satan himfelf is transform- 
ed into an angel of light. 

15 Therefore it is no great thing if his minifters 
alfo be transformed as the minifters of righteoufnefs ; 
whofe end fhall be according to their works. 

16 Ifay again, Let no man think me a fool: if 
otherwife, yet as a fool || receive me, that I may boaft 
myfelf a little. 

17 That which I fpeak, I fpeak it not after the Lord, 
but as it were foolifhly, in this confidence of boafting. 

18 Seeing that many glory after the flefli, I will 
glory alfo. 

19 For ye fuffer fools gladly, feeing ye your selves 
are wife. 

20 For ye fuffer if a man bring j^ou into bondage, 
if a man devour you, if a man take of you, if a man 
exalt himfelf, if a man finite you on the face. 

21 I fpeak as concerning reproach, as though we 
had been weak. Howbeit, whereinfoever any is bold, 
(I fpeak foolifhly,) I am bold alfo. 

22 Are they Hebrews ? b fo am I. Are they Ifrael- 
ites ? fo am I. Are they the feed of Abraham ? fo am I. 

23 Are they minifters of Chrift ? (I fpeak as a fool,) 
I am more; in labours more abundant, in ftripes above 
meafure, in prifons more frequent, in deaths oft. 

24 Of the Jews five times received I c forty stripes

25 Thrice was I d beaten with rods, e once was

cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches. 

29 Who is weak, and I am not weak ? who is of-

30 If I mull needs glory, I will glory of the things 
which concern mine infirmities. 

31 The God and Father of our Lord Iefus Chrift, 
which is bleifed for evermore, knoweth that liie not. 

32 g In Damafcus the governor under Aretas the 
king kept the city of the Damafcenes with a garrifon, 
defirous to apprehend me ; 

33 And through a window in a bafket was I. let 
down by the wall, and efcaped his hands. 

C HAP. XII. 

1 Paul sheweth, that though he had been favoured with 
'visions and revelations, 5 yet, for commendation of 
his apostleship, he rather chose to glory in his infirm- 
ities, 11 blaming the Corinthians for forcing him 
to this vain boasting : 14 he promiseth to visit them 
again with his former fatherly affection : 20 hefear- 
eth lest, to his grief, he find many notorious disorders 
unredressed. 

T is not expedient for me, doubtlefs, to glory ; I will 
come to vifions and revelations of the Lord. 

2 I knew a man in Chrift above fourteen years ago, 
(whether in the body, I cannot tell ; or whether out of 
the body, I cannot tell : God knoweth,) fuch an one 
caught up to the third heaven. 

3 And I knew fuch a man, (whether in the body, 
or out of the body, I cannot tell : God knoweth.) 

4 How that he was caught up into paradife, and 

j or, heard unipeakable words', which it is not || lawful for 
toaiUi. a man to utter> 

5 Of fuch an one will I glory : yet of myfelf I will 
not glory, but in mine infirmities. 

6 For though I would delire to glory, I fhall not be 
a fool ; for I will fay the truth : but now I forbear, left 
any man fhould think of me above that which he ieeth 
me to be, or that he heareth of me. 

7 And left I ihould be exalted above meafure through 
the abundance of the revelations, there was given to 

'il e Elek ' me a ;< thorn in the flefh, the meffenger of Satan to buf- 
fet me, left I ihould be exalted above meafure. 

8 For this thing I befought the Lord thrice, that it 
might depart from me. 

9 And he faid unto me, My grace is fufneient for 
thee : for my ftrength is made perfect in weaknefs. 
Moil gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirm- 
ities, that the power of Chrift may reft upon me. 

10 Therefore I take pleafure in infirmities, in re- 
proaches, in neceifities, in perlecutions, in diftreffes for 
Chrift's fake ; for when I am weak, then am I ftrong. 

Ill am become a fool in glorying ; ye have com- 
pelled me : for I ought to have been commended of 
you ; for in nothing am I behind the very chiefeft 
apoftles, though I be nothing. 

12 Truly the figns of an apoftle were wrought 
among you in all patience, in figns and wonders, and 
mighty deeds. 

13 For what is it wherein ye were inferior to other 
churches, except it be that b I myfelf was not burden- 
fome to you ? forgive me this wrong. 

14 Behold, the third time I am ready to come to 
you ; and I will not be burdenfome to you ; for I feek 
not yours, but you ; for the children ought not to lay 
up for the parents, but the parents for the children.

15 And I will very gladly fpend and be fpent for

lefs I be loved.. 

16 But be it fo, I did not burden you : nevertheiefs, 
being crafty, I caught you with guile. 

17 Did I make a gain of you by any of them whom 
I fent unto you ?

fame fpirit ? walked we not in the fame ileps ? 

19 Again, think ye that we excufe ourfelves unto 
you ? we ipeak before God in Chrift : but we do all 
things, dearly beloved, for your edifying. 

20 For I fear, left when I come I "ill all not find you 
fuch as I would, and that I fhall be found unto you 
fuch as ye would not : left there be debates, envyings, 
wraths, ftrifes, backbitings, whifperings, fwellings, 
tumults ; 

21 And left, when I come again, my God will 
humble me among you, and that I fhall bewail many 
which have finned already, and have not repented of 
the uncleannefs, and fornication, and lafcivioufneis, 
which they have committed^ 

CHAP. XIII. 

1 Paul threateneth to vindicate his authority by, pun- 
ishing severely unreclaimed offenders: 5 he advise th 
the Corinthians to try their faith ; 7 he wished that 
they might prevent him from using sharpness: 11 he 
concludethwithanexhortation,salutation,andprayer. 

THIS is the third time I am coming to you. a In t 9 D ff ' 
the mouth of two or three witneffes fhall every 
word be eftabliihed. 

2 I told you before, and foretel you, as if I were 
prefent the fecond time ; and, being abfent, now I 
write to them which heretofore have iinned, and to all 
other, that, if I come again, I will not fpare ; 

3 Since ye feek a proof of Chrift fpeaking in me, 
which to you ward is not weak, but is mighty in you. 

4 For though he was crucified through weaknefs, 
yet he liveth by the power of God. For we alio are 
weak |] in him, but we fhall live with him by the pow- 
er of God toward you. 

5 Examine yourfelves whether ye be in the faith ; 
prove your own felves : know ye not your own felves*, 
how that Jefus Chrift is in you, except ye be repro- 
bates ? 

6 But I truft that ye fhall know that we are not rep- 
robates. 

7 Now I pray to God that ye do no evil ; not that 
we ihould appear approved, but that ye ihould do that 
which is honeft, though we be as reprobates. 

8 For we can do nothing againil the truth, but for 
the truth. 

9 For we are glad when we are weak, and ye 
arc ftrong : and this alfo we wifh, even your per- 
fection. 

10 Therefore I write thefe things being abfent, left 
being prefent I ihould ufe iharpnefs, according to the 
power which the Lord hath given me to edification, 
and not to deilruclion. 

11 Finally, brethren, farewell : be perfecl, be of 
Rood comfort, be of one mind, live in peace ; and the 
God of love and peace fhall be with you.

9 As we faid before, fo fay I now again, If any man 
preach any other gofpel unto you than that ye have 
received, let him be accurfed. 

10 For do I now perfuade men, or God ? or do I 
feek to pleafe men ? for if I yet pleafed men, I ihould 
not be the fervant of Chrilt. 

11 But I certify you, brethren, that the gofpel which 
was preached of me is not after man : 

12 Fori neither received it of man, neither was I 
taught it, but by the revelation of Jefus Chrift. 

13 For ye have heard of my converfation in time 
palt in the Jews' religion, how that a beyond meafure 
I perfecuted the church of God, and wafted it : 

14 And profited in the Jews' religion above many 
my f equals in mine own nation, being more exceed- 
ingly zealous of the traditions of my fathers. 

15 But when it pleafed God, who feparated roe 
from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace, 

_ 16 To reveal his Son in me, that b I might preach 
him. among the heathen ; immediately I conferred not 
with fiefh and blood : 

17 Neither went I up to Jerufalem to them which 
were apoftles before me ; but I went into Arabia, and 
returned again unto Damafcus. 

18 Then after three years I |[ went up to Jerufalem 
to fee Peter, and abode with him fifteen days. 

19 But other of the apoftles law I none, lave James 
the Lord's brother. 

20 Now, the things which I write unto you, behold, 
before God, I lie not. 

21 Afterward I came into the regions of Syria and 
Cilicia : 



22 And was unknown by face unto the churches of An,-.. 
Judea which were in Chrilt : D °^ lNl 

23 But they had heard only, that he which perfe- v ^^^*- 
cuted us in times paft now preacheth the faith which 

once he deltroyed. 

24 And they glorified God in me. 

CHAP. II. 

1 Paid sheweth of his going up to Jerusalem, and for 
what purpose ; 3 and why Titus was not circumcised: 
6 that the three chief apostles had added nothing to 
his knowledge : 11 that he withstood Peter for dis- 
simulation with respect to Gentile communion: 14 
that justification came by the faith of Christ, and 
not by the works of the law, &c. 

THEN fourteen years after I went up again to Jeru- d. d. s *. 
falem with Barnabas, and took Titus with me alfo. 

2 And I went up by revelation, and communicated 
unto them that gofpel which I preach among the Gen- 
tiles, but j| privately to them which were of reputation, \ or, 
kit by any means I iliould run, or had run, in vain. *•■><*<#>' 

3 But neither Titus, who was with me, being a 
Greek, was compelled to be circumcifed : 

4 And that becaufe of falfe brethren unawares 
brought in, who came in privily to fpy out our liberty 
which we have in Chrilt Jefus, that they might bring 
us into bondage ; 

5 To whom we gave place by fubjecYion no not for 
an hour, that the truth of the gofpel might continue 
with you. 

6 But of thofe who feemed to be fome what, (what- 
soever they were, it maketh no matter to me : a God l??** 
acceptethno man's perfon :) for they who feemed to 

be somewhat in conference added nothing to me : 

7 But contrariwife, when they faw that the gofpel 
of the uncircumcifion was committed unto me, as the 
gospel of the circumcifion was unto Peter : 

8 (For he that wrought effectually in Peter to the 
apoftlef flip of the circumcifion, the fame was mighty 
in me toward the Gentiles ;) 

9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who feemed 
to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto 
me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of 
fellowfhip, that we should go unto the heathen, and 
they unto the circumcifion. 

10 Only they would that we fhould remember the 
poor ; the fame which I alfo was forward to do. 

11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I with- 
ftood him to the face, becaufe he was to be blamed. 

12 For before that certain came from James, he did 
eat with the Gentiles : but when they were come, he 
withdrew, and feparated himfelf, fearing them which 
were of the circumcifion. 

13 And the other Jews diffembled likewife with 
him ; infomuch that Barnabas alfo was carried away 
with their difiimulation. 

14 But when I faw that they walked not uprightly, 
according to the truth of the gofpel, I faid unto Peter 
before them, all, If thou, being a Jew, liveft after the 

manner 






Of justification by faith.

manner of Gentiles, and not as do the Jews, why 
compelleft thou the Gentiles to live as do the Jews ? 

15 We who are Jews by nature, and not finners of 
the Gentiles, 

16 Knowing that a man is not juftified by the 
works of the law, but by the faith of Jefus Chrift ; 
even we have believed in Jefus Chrift, that we might 
be juftified by the faith of Chrift, and not by the 

fcBom. 3 2°- works of the law : for b by the works of the law fliall 
• no flefli be juftified. 

17 But if, while we feek to be juftified by Chrift, 
we ourlelves alfo are found finners, is therefore Chrift 
the minifter of fin ? God forbid. 

18 For if I build again the things which I deftroy- 
ed, I make myfelf a tranfgreffor. 

19 For I through the law am dead to the law, that 
I might live unto God. 

20 I am crucified with Chrift 
yet not I, but Chrift Jiveth in me 
I now live in the flefh, I live by 
of God, who loved me, and gave 

21 I do not fruftrate the grace of God ; for if right- 
eoufnefs come by the law, then Chrift is dead in vain. 

CHAP. III. 

1 The Galatians reprehended. 6 As Abraham ivas jus- 
tified by faith, so all they ivho are of faith inherit 
his blessing. 10 The law brought men under a curse, 
and 'could not justify \ 13 Christ hath delivered from 
the curse, and laid op en the blessing wall who believe. 

O FOOLISH Galatians, who hath bewitched you, 
that ye fhould not obey the truth, before whofe 
eyes Jefus Chrift hath been evidently let forth, cru- 
cified among you ? 

2 This only would I learn of you, Received ye the 
Spirit by the works of the law, or by the hearing of 
faith ? 

3 Are ye fo foolifh ? having begun in the Spirit, 
are ye now made perfect by the flelh ? 

4 Have ye fuffered || fo many things in vain ? if it be 
yet in vain. 

5 He, therefore, that miniftereth to you the Spirit, 
and worketh miracles among you, doeth he it by the 
works of the law, or by the hearing of faith ? 

6 Even as a Abraham believed God, and it was 
I) accounted to him for righteoufnefs. 

7 Know ye, therefore, that they which are of faith, 
the fame are the children of Abraham. 

8 And the fcripture, forefeeing that God would 
juftify the heathen through faith, preached before 
thegofpel unto Abraham, saying, b In thee fhall all 
nations be bleffed. 

9 So then, they which be of faith are bleffed with ' 
faithful Abraham. 

10 For as many as are of the works of the law are 
under the curfe : for it is written, c Curfed is every 
one that continueth not in all things which are written 
in the book of the law to do them. 

1 1 But that no man is juftified by the law in the fight 
of God, it is evident : for, d The juft fhall live by faith. 

12 And the law is not of faith : but, e The man 
that doeth them lhall live in diem. 

13 Chrift hath redeemed us from the curfe of the 
law, being made a curfe for us : for it is written, 
( Curfed is every one that hangeth on a tree ;

the Gentiles through Jefus Chrift ; that we might 
receive the promife of the Spirit through faith. 

15 Brethren, I fpeak after the manner of men ; 
Though it be but a man's (| covenant, yet if it be con- 
firmed, no man difannulleth or addeth thereto. 

16 Now, to Abraham and his feed were the prom- 
ifes made. He faith not, And to feeds, as of many ; 
but as of one. And to thy feed, which is Chrift. 

17 And this I fay, that the covenant, that was con- 
firmed before of God in Chrift, the law, which was 
four hundred and thirty years after, cannot difannul, 
that it fhould make the promife of none effecl:. 

18 For if the inheritance be of the law, k is no more 
of promife : but God gave it to Abraham by promife. 

19 Wherefore then serveth the law ? It was added 
becaufe of tranfgreffions, till the feed fhould come, to 
whom the promife was made ; and it was ordained by 
angels in the hand of a mediator. 

20 Now, a mediator is not a mediator of one ; but 
God is one. 

21 Is the law then againft the promifes of God ? 
God forbid :_ for if there had been a law given which 
could have given life, verily righteoufnefs fhould have 
been by the law. 

22 But the fcripture hath concluded s all under fin, gao«. s?. 
that the promife by faith of Jefus Chrift might be given 

to them that believe. 

23 But before faith came, we were kept under the 
law, fruit up unto the faith which fhould afterwards 
be revealed. 

24 Wherefore the law wasourfchoolmafter, to bring 
us unto Chrift, that we might be juftified by faith. 

25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer 
under a fchoolmafter. 

26 For ye are all the children of God by faith in 
Chrift Jefus. 

27 For h as many of you as have been baptized into h Roni - 6 3> 
Chrift, have put on Chrift. 

28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither 
bond nor free, there is neither male nor female : for ye 
are all one in Chrift Jefus. 

29 And if ye be Chrift's, then are ye Abraham's 
feed, and heirs according to the promife. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 The Jews were for a while held under the law, as the 
heir is under his guardian till he be of age ; 4 but 
Christ came to redeem those who were under the law, 
and to give both Jew and Gentile the adoption of sons. 
21 The Jewish and Christian churches allegoricalli/ 
described under the types of Agar and Sarah, &V. ' 

NOW I fay, that the heir, as long as he is a child, 
diftereth nothing from a fervant, though he be 
lord of all ; 

2 But is under tutors and governors until the time 
appointed of the father. 

3 Even fo we, when we were children, were in 
bondage under the || elements of the world : » v>

8 Howbeit then, when ye knew not God, ye did 
fervice unto them which by nature are no gods. 

9 But now, after that ye have known God, or rather 
are known of God, how turn ye R again to the weak 
and beggarly || elements, whereunto ye defire again to 
be in bondage ? 

10 Ye obferve days, and months, and times, and 
years. 

11 lam afraid of you, left I have bellowed upon 
you labour in vain. 

12 Brethren, I befeech you, be as I am ; for I am as 
ye are: ye have not injured me at all. 

13 Ye know how, through infirmity of the flefli, I 
preached the gofpel unto you at the firft. 

14 And my temptation^ which was in my flefh, ye 
defpifed not, nor rejected ; but received me as an 
angel of God, even as Chrift Jefus. 

15 || Where is then the bleffednefs ye fpake of ? 
for I bear you record, that if it had been pofiible, ye 
would have plucked out your own e}^es, and have 
given them to me. 

16 Am I, therefore, become your enemy, becaufe 
I tell you the truth ? 

17 They zealoufly affecl you, but not well ; yea, 
they would exclude || you, that ye might affecl them. 

18 But it is good to be zealoufly affected always in 
a good thing, and not only when I am prefent with you. 

19 My little children, of whom I travail in birth 
again, until Chrift be formed in you, 

20 I defire to be prefent with you now, and to 
change my voice ; for || I ftand in doubt of you. 

21 Tell me, ye that defire to be under the law, do 
ye not hear the law ? 

22 For it is written, that Abraham had two fons, 
the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. 

23 But he 'who was of the bondwoman was born 
after the flefh ; but he of the freewoman was by 
promife. 

24 Which things are an allegory : for thefe are the 
two || covenants ; the one from the mount Sinai, 
which gendereth to bondage, which is Agar. 

25 For this Agar is mount Sinai in Arabia, and 
|| anfwereth to Jerufalem, which now is, and is in 
bondage with her children. 

26 But Jerufalem which is above is free, which is 
the mother of us all. 

27 For it is written, b 'Rejoice thou barren that 
beareft not ; break forth and cry, thou that travaileft 
not : for the defolate hath many more children than 
ihe which hath an hufband. 

28 Now we, brethren, a§ Ifaac was, are c the chil- 
dren of promife. 

29 But as then, he that was born after the flefli 
perfecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even fo 
it is now. 

30 Neverthelefs, what faith the fcripture ? d Caft 
out the bondwoman and her fon : for the fon of the 
bondwoman fhall not be heir with the fon of the 
freewoman. 

31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the 
bondwoman, but of the free.

became debtors to the law : 13 he achiseth them not 
to abuse their liberty., but to serve one another in love. 
19 The works oj 'the flesh; 22 the fruits of the Spirit. 
25 An exhortation to walk in the Spirit, and not in 
vain glorious emulation. 

STAND faft, therefore, in the liberty wherewith 
Chrift hath made us free, and be not entangled 
again with the yoke of bondage. 

2 Behold, I Paul fay unto you, that a if ye be cir- aActsijr. 
cumcifed, Chrift fhall profit you nothing . 

3 For I teftify again to every man that is circum- 
cifed, that he is a debtor to do the whole law. 

4 Chrift is become of no effecl unto you, whofo- 
everofyou are juftified by the law; ye are fallen 
from grace. 

\ 5 For we, through the Spirit, wait for the hope of 
righteoufnefs by faith. 

6 For in Jefus Chrift neither circumcifion availeth 
any thing, nor uncircumcifion ; but faith which 
worketh by love. 

7 Ye did run well ; || who did hinder you, that ye 
fhould not obey the truth ? 

8 This perfuafion cometh not of him that calleth you. 

9 b A littie leaven ieaveneth the whole lump. 

10 I have confidence in you through the Lord, that 
ye will be none otherwile minded ; but he that trou- 
bled! you fhall bear his judgment, whofoever he be. 

11 And I, brethren, if I yet preach circumcifion, 
why do I yet fufFer perfecution ? then is the offence 

of the crofs ceafed. 
12 1 would they were even cut off which trouble you. 

13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty ; 
only use not liberty for an occafion to the flefli, but 
by love ferve one another. 

14 For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in 
this, c Thou fhalt love thy neighbour as thyfelf. 

15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take 
heed that ye be not confumed one of another. 

16 This I fay then, Walk in the Spirit, and II ye 
fhall not fulfil the luft of the flefh. 

17 For the flefh hifteth againft the Spirit, and the 
Spirit againft the flefli : and thefe are contrary the one 
to the other ; fo that ye cannot do the things that ye 
would. 

18 But if ye be led by the Spirit, ye are not under 
the law. 

19 Now the works of the r ftefh are manifeft, which 
are these ; Adultery, fornication, undleannefs, lafcivi- 
oufnefs. 

_ 20 Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emula- 
tions, wrath, ftrife, feditions, herefies, 

21 Envyings, murders, drunkennefs, revellings, 
and fuch like : of the which I tell you before, as I have 
alfo told you in time paft, that they which do fuch 
things fhall not inherit the kingdom of God. 

22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, 
long fufFering, gentlenefs, goodnefs, faith, 

23 Meeknefs, temperance : againft fuch there is no 
law. 

24 And they that are Chrift 's, have crucified the 
flefli, with the || affections and lufts. 

25 If we live in the Spirit, let us alfo walk in the 
Spirit. 

26 Let us not be defirous of vain glory, provoking 
one another, envying one another.

2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and fo fulfil the

foever a man foweth, that fhall he alfo reap. 

8 For he that foweth to his fleih, fhall of the flefh

9 And c let us not be weary in well doing : for in 
due feafon we fhall reap, if we faint not. 

10 As we have, therefore, opportunity, let us do

they fhould fuflfer perfecution for the crofs of Chrift.

children, by Jefus Chrift to himfelf, according to the

6 And hath raifed zts up togethc r, and made us fit 
together in heavenly places in Chrift Jefus ; 

7 That in the ages to come he might ffiew the ex- 
ceeding riches of his grace in his kindnefs toward us, 
through Chriil Jefus. 

3 For by grace are ye faved, through faith ; and 
that not of yourfelves : it is the gift of God ; 

9 Not of works, left any man fhould boaft : 

10 For we are his workmanfhip, created in Chrift 
Jefus unto good works, which God hath before || or- 
dained that we fhould walk in them. 

1 1 Wherefore remember, that ye being in time paft 
Gentiles in the fiefh, who are called Uncircumcifion 
by that which is called the Circumcifion in the fiefh 
made by hands ; 

12 That at that time ye were without Chrift, being 
aliens from the commonwealth of Ifrael, and ftrangers 
from the covenants ofpromife, having no hope, and 
without God in the world : 

13 But now in Chrift Jefus, ye, who fometimes 
were far off, are made nigh by the blood of Chrift. 

14 For he is our peace, who hath made both one, 
and hath broken down the middle wall of partition 
between us ; 

15 Having abolifhed in his fiefh the enmity, even 
the law of commandments contained in ordinances, 
for to make in himfelf of twain one new man, so 
making peace ; 

16 And that he might reconcile both unto God in one 
body by the crofs, having flain the enmity || thereby ; 

17 And came and preached peace to you which 
were afar off, and to them that were nigh. 

18 For b through him we both have accefs by one 
Spirit unto the Father. 

19 Now, therefore, ye are no more ftrangers and 
foreigners, but fellow citizens with the faints, and of 
the houfehold of God : 

20 And are built upon the foundation of the apof- 
tles and prophets, Jefus Chrift himfelf being the chief 
corner stone ; 

21 In whom all the building fitly framed together, 
groweth unto an holy temple in the Lord : 

22 In whom ye alfo are builded together for an 
habitation of God through the Spirit.

Paul prayeth fir the Gentiles. 

CHAP. HI. 

Paul in bonds for the Gentiles" sake, sheweth that the , 
hidden mystery, that the Gentiles should be saved, 
hadbeenrevealedto him : 7 that by his ministry God's 
gracious purpose might be universally known, and 
they assured of their acceptance by faith: 13 be de- 
sire th them not to be discouraged at his sufferings : 
14 he prayeth for their increase in faith. 
OR this caufe, I Paul, the prifoner of Jefus Chrift 
for you Gentiles, 

2 If ye have heard of the difpenfation of the grace 
of God, which is given me to you ward ; 

3 How that by revelation he made known unto me 

the myftery , (as I wrote || afore in few words, \ fgfo 

4 Whereby, when ye read, ye may underftand my W™- 
knowledge in the myftery of Chrift,) 

5 Which in other ages was not made known unto 
the fons of men, as it is now revealed unto his holy 
apoftles and prophets by the Spirit ; 

6 That the Gentiles fhould be fellow heirs, and of 
the fame body, and partakers of his promife in Chrift 
by the Gofpel ; 

7 Whereof I was made a minifter, according to 
the gift of the grace of God given unto me, by the 
effectual working of his power. 

8 Unto me, who am lefs than the leaft of all faints, 

is this grace given, that a I fhould preach among the a f 6 aIat - 
Gentiles the unfearchable riches of Chrift ; 

9 And to make all men fee what is the fellowfhip 
of the myftery, which from the beginning of the 
world hath been hid in God, who created all things 
by Jefus Chrift : 

10 To the intent that now unto the principalities 
and powers in heavenly places might be known, by 
the church, the manifold wifdom of God, 

11 According to the eternal purpofe which he pur- 
poied in Chrift Jefus our Lord : 

12 In whom we have boldnefs and accefs with con- 
fidence by the faith of him. 

13 Wherefore I defire that ye faint not at my trib- 
ulations for you, which is your glory. 

14 For this caufe I bow my knees unto the Father 
of our Lord Jefus Chrift. 

15 Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth 
is named, 

. 16 That he would grant you, according to the 
riches of his glory, to be ftrengthened with might by 
his Spirit in the inner man ; 

17 That Chrift may dwell in your hearts by faith ; 
that ye, being rooted and grounded in love, 

18 May be able to comprehend with all faints, what 
is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height ; 

19 And to know the love of Chrift, which pattern 
knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulnefs 
of God. 

20 Now, unto him that is able to do exceeding 
abundantly above all that we afk or think, according 
to the power that worketh in us, 

21 Unto him be glory in the church by Chrift Jefus 
throughout all ages, world without end. Amen. 

CHAP. IV. 
1 Those virtues ivhicb become the Christian calling, par- 
ticularly unity, recommended : 7 that Christ gave 
his gifts differently, that his body the church might be 
edified, and perfected in the true faith : 17 ail hea- 
then impurity to be renounced^ and to put on the new 

man;

I THEREFORE, the prifoner || of the Lord, be- 
feech you that ye a walk worthy of the vocation 
wherewith ye are called, 

2 With all lowlinefs and meeknefs, with long fuf- 
fering, forbearing one another in love ; 

3 Endeavouring to keep the unity of the Spirit in 
the bond of peace. 

4 The re is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are 
called in one hope of your calling ; ^ 

5 One Lord, one faith, one baptifm, 

6 b One God and Father of all, who is above all, 
and through all, and in you all._ 

7 But unto every one of us is given grace accord- 
ing to the meafure of the gift of Chrift. 

8 Wherefore he faith, c When he attended up on 
high, he led il captivity captive, and gave gifts unto 
men. 

9 (Now that he afcended, what is it but that he alfo 
defcended firft into the lower parts of the earth ? 

10 He that defcended is the fame alfo that afcend- 
ed up far above ail heavens, that he might || fill all 
things.) 

11 d And he gave fome, apoftles : and fome, proph- 
ets ; and fome, evangelifts ; and fome, pallors and 
teachers ; 

12 For the perfecting of the faints, for the work of 
the minifhy, for the edifying of the body of Chrift ; 

13 Till we all come || in the unity of the faith, and 
of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect 
man, unto the meafure of the || ftature of the fulnefs 
of Chrift; 

14 That we henceforth be no more children toffed 
to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doc- 
trine, by the Height of men, and cunning craftinefs, 
whereby they lie in wait to deceive ; 

15 But e I! fpeaking the truth in love, may grow up 
into him in all things, which is the head, even Chrift ; 

16 f From whom the whole body fitly joined to- 
gether, and compacted by that which every joint fup- 
plieth, according to the effectual working in the 
meafure of every part, maketh increafe of the body 
unto the edifying of itfelf in love. 

17 This I fay, therefore, and teftify in the Lord, 
that ye henceforth walk not as other Gentiles walk, 
in the vanity of their mind ; 

18 Having the underftanding darkened, being ali- 
enated from the life of God, through the ignorance 
that is in them, becaufe of the g || blindnefs of their 
heart. 

19 Who, being paft feeling, have given themfelves 
over unto lafcivioufnefs, to work all uncleannefs with 
greedinefs. 

20 But ye have not fo learned Chrift ; 

21 Iffo be that ye have heard him, and have been 
taught by him, as the truth is in Jefus ; 

22 That ye h put off, concerning the former conver- 
fation, the old man, which is corrupt according to the 
deceitful lulls ; 

23 And * be renewed in the fpirit of your mind ; 

24 And that ye put on the new man, which after 
God is created in righteoufnefs and || true holinefs. 

25 Wherefore, putting away lying, k fpeak every 
man truth with his neighbour ; for we are members 
one of another. 



26 l Be ye angty and fin not ; let not the fun go 
down upon your wrath ; 

27 m Neither give place to the devil. 

_ 28 Let him that Hole, Ileal no more : but rather let 
him labour, working with his hands the thing which is 
good, that he may have H to give to him that needeth. 

29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of 
your mouth, but that which is good l| to the ufeof 
edifying, that it may minifter grace unto the hearers. 

30 And grieve not the holy Spirit of God, where- 
by ye are fealed unto the day of redemption. 

31 Let all bitternefs, and wrath, and anger, and 
clamour, and evil fpeaking, be put away from you, 
with all malice : 

32 And n be ye kind one to another, tender hearted, 
forgiving one another, even as God for Chrift 's fake 
hath forgiven you. 

CHAP. V. 

1 An exhortation to the imitation of God, and love of 
Christ; 3 to flee fornication, and all uncle anness ; 15 
to walk with circumspection ; 18 not to drink wine 
to excess, but to be filled ivith the Spirit. 22 The 
duty of wives toward their I ..sbands, 25 and of hus- 
bands toward their ^wives, enforced by the example 
of Christ and his church. 

E ye, therefore, followers of God, as dear children : 
2 And a walk in love, as Chrift alfo hath loved 
us, and hath given himfelf for us, an offering and a 
facrifice to God for a fweet fmelling favour. 

3 But b fornication, and all uncleannefs, orcovetouf- 
nefs, let it not be once named among you, as becom- 
eth faints ; 

4 Neither filthinefs, norfoolifh talking, nor jelling, 
which are not convenient : but rather giving of thanks. 

5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor 
unclean perfon, nor covetous man who is an idolater, 
hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Chrift and of 
God. 

6 Let no man deceive you with vain words : for 
becaufe of thefe things cometh the wrath of God upon 
the children of II difobedience. 

7 Be not ye, therefore, partakers with them. 

8 For ye were fometimes darknefs, but now are ye 
light in the Lord : walk as children of light ; 

9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in ail goodnefs, and 
righteoufnefs, and truth) 

10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 

11 And have no fellowship with the unfruitful 
works of darknefs, but rather reprove them. 

12 For it is a fhame even to fpeak of thofe things 
which are done of them in fecret. 

13 But all things that are || reproved, are made 
manifeft by the light : for whatsoever doth make man- 
ifeft is light. 

14 Wherefore he faith, c Awake^thou that fleepeft, 
and arife from the dead, and Chrift lhall give thee 
light. 

15 d See then that ye walk circumfpeclly, not as 
fools, but as wife, 

16 Redeeming the time, becaufe the days arc evil. 

17 Wherefore be ye not unwife, but underftanding 
what the will of the Lord is. 

18 And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excefs : 
but be filled with the Spirit ;

22 e Wives, fubmit yourfelves untp your own huf-

24 Therefore, as the church is fubjecl unto Chrift,

28 So ought men to love their wives as their own

29 For no man ever yet hated his own flefh ; but 
iiourifheth and cherifheth it, even as the Lord the

3 1 h For this caufe fhall a man leave his father and

33 Neverthelefs, let every one of you in particular 
fo love his wife even as himfelf; and the wife see that

1 Paul's salutation ; 3 he testifieth his thankfulness to 
God for their uninterrupted fellowship in the gospel, 
8 his affection for them, 9 and 'prayers for their spir- 
itual improvement : 12 he sheiveih how his bonds at 
Rome had turned to the advancement of the gospel : 
21 his readiness to glorify Christ either by life or 
death : 27 he exhorteth them to walk worthy of 
their profession, &fc. 

PAUL and Timotheus, the fervants of Jems Chrift, 
to all the faints in Chrift Jefus which are at Phi- 
lippi, with the bilhops and deacons : 

2 Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Fa- 
ther, and from the Lord Jefus Chrift. 

3 I thank my God upon every || remembrance of you. 

4 Always, in every prayer of mine for you all, mak- 
ing requeft with joy, 

,5 For your fellowfliip in the gofpel, from the firfl 
day until now ; 

6* Being confident of this very thing, that he which 
hath begun a good work in you, H will perform it un- 
til the day of Jefus Chrift : 

7 Even as it is meet for me to think this of you 
all, becaufe || I have you in my heart ; inafmuch as 
both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirma- 
tion of the gofpel, ye all are || partakers of my grace. 

8 For God is my record, how greatly I long after 
you all in the boAvels of Jefus Chrift. 

9 And this I pray, that your love may abound yet 
more and more in knowledge, and in all || judgment ; 

10 That ye may || approve things that || are excel- 
lent ; that ye may be fincere, and without offence, 
till the day of Chrift ; 

11 Being filled with the fruits of righteoufnefs, 
which are by Jefus Chrift unto the glory and praife of 
God. 

12 But I would ye fliould underftand, brethren, 
that the things which happened unto me have fallen 
out rather unto the furtherance of die gofpel ; 

13 So that my bonds II in Chrift are manifeft in all 
s || the palace, and || in all other places ; 

14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing 
confident by my bonds, are much more bold to fpeak 
the word without fear. 

15 Some indeed preach Chrift, even of envy and 
ftrife ; and fome alfo of good will. 

16 The one preach Chrift of contention, not fm- 
cerely, fuppofing to add affliction to my bonds ; 

17 But the other of love, knowing that I am fet 
for the defence of the gofpel. 

18 What then ? notwithftanding every way, whether 
in pretence or in truth, Chrift is preached ; and I there- 
in do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. 

19 For I know that this ihall turn to my falvation 
through your prayer, and the fupply of the Spirit of 
Jefus Chrift, 

20 According to my earneft expectation, and my 
hope, that in nothing I fhall be afhamed, but that with 
all boldnefs, as always, so now alfo, Chrift fhall be mag- 
nified in my body, whether it be by life or by death. 

21 For to me to live is Chrift, and to die is gain. 

22 But if I live in the flefh, this is the fruit of my 
labour : yet what I Ihall choofe, I wot not. 

23 For I am in a ftrait betwixt two ; having a defire

to depart, and to be with Chrift, which is far better : 

24 Neverthelefs, to abide in the fleih is more need- 
ful for you. 

25 And having this confidence y I know that I fhall 
abide and continue with you all, for your furtherance 
and joy of faith ; 

26 That your rejoicing may be more abundant in 
Jefus Chrift for me, by my coming to you again. 

27 Only a let your converfation be as it becometh 
the gofpel of Chrift ; that, whether I eome and fee 
you, or elfe be abfent, I may hear of your affairs, I2- 
that ye ftand faft in one fpirit, with one mind, ftriv- 
ing together for the faith of the gofpel ; 

28 And in nothing terrified by your adverfaries t 
which is to them an evident token of perdition, but 
to you of falvation , and that of God. 

29 For unto you it is given in the behalf of Chrift, not 
only to believe on him, but alfo to fuffer for his fake : 

30 Having the fame conflict which ye faw in me, 
and now hear to be in me. 

CHAR ir. 

I Paul earnestly recommendeth mutual love and union, 
3 lowliness of mind, 4 and charitable condescension, 
by the example of Christ : 12 to be careful of their 
own salvation : 14 to obey the will of God cheerfully 
and universally , 16 and thus give him joy in the suc- 
cess of his labours : 19 he hopeth to send Timothy 
shortly, whom he greatly commendeth, EsV. 

IF there be, therefore, any confolation in Chrift, if 
any comfort of love, if any fellowfliip of the Spirit,, 
if any bowels and mercies, 

2 Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be like minded, having; 
the fame love, being of one accord, of one mind- 

3 Let nothing be done through ftrife or vain glory ; 
but in lowlinefs of mind let each efteem odier better 
than themfelves. 

4 Look not every man on his own things, but 
every man alfo on the things of others. 

5 Let this mind be in you, which was alfo in Chrift 
Jefus ; 

6 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not 
robbery to be equal with God ; 

7 But made himfelf of no reputation, and took upon 
him the form of a fervant, and was made in the || like- ;ior, 
nefs of men ; habit - 

8 And, being found in falhion as a man, he hum- 
bled himfelf, and became obedient unto death, even 
the death of the crofs. 

9 Wherefore God alfo hath highly exalted him, 
and given him a name which is above every name ; 

10 That at the name of Jefus every knee fliould 
bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and 
things under the earth ; 

11 And that every tongue lhould confefs, that Jefus 
Chrift is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 

12 Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always 
obeyed, not as in my prefence only, but now much 
more in my abfence, work out your own falvation 
with fear ami trembling : 

13 For it is God which worketh in you, both to 
will and to do of his good pleaiiire. 

14 Doall things without murmurings and difpu tings; 

15 That ye may be blamelefs and II harmlefs, the jo r .

and perverfe nation, among whom || ye fhine as lights 
in the world ; 

16 Holding forth the word of life ; that I may re- 
joice in the day of Chrift, that I have not run in vain, 
neither laboured in vain. 

17 Yea, and if I be t offered upon the facrifice and 
fervice of your faith, I joy and rejoice with you alb 

18 For the fame caufe alfo do ye joy and rejoice 
with me. 

19 || But I trull in the Lord Jefus, to fend Timo- 
theus ihortly unto you, that I alfo may be of good 
comfort when I know your Hate. 

20 For I have no man || like minded, who will nat- 
urally care for your ftate. 

21 For all a feek their own, not the things which are 
Jefus Chrift's. 

22 But ye know the proof of him, that, as a fon with 
the father, he hath ferved with me in the gofpel. 

23 Him, therefore, I hope to fend prefently, fo foon 
as I fhall fee how it will go with me. 

24 But I trull in the Lord, that I alfo myfelf fhall 
come ihortly. 

25 Yet I fuppofed it neceffary, to fend to you Epa- 
phroditus my brother, and companion in labour, and 
fellow foldier, but your meffenger, and he that minif- 
tered to my wants. 

26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heav- 
inefs, becaufe that ye had heard that he had been fick. 

27 For indeed he was fick nigh unto death : but 
God had mercy on him : and not on him only } but on 
me alio, left I mould have forrow upon forrow. 

28 I fent him, therefore, the more carefully, that, 
when ye fee him again, ye may rejoice, and that 
I may be the lefs forrowful. 

29 Receive him, therefore; in the Lord, with all 
gladnefs, and || hold fuch in reputation : 

30 Becaufe for the work of Chrift he was nigh unto 
death, not regarding his life to fupply your lack of 
fervice toward me. 

CHAP. III. 
1 Paul exhorteth to rejoice in the_ Lord, and to beware 
of false teachers of the circumcision ; 4 shewing that' 
as a Jew he had better grounds of confidence than 
they ; 7 but that he disclaimed them all, trusting on- 
ly to the justification which is of God by faith: 12 he 
acknowledge th his present imperfections, but that 
he was anxiously striving for the prize : 15 he ex- 
horteth them to be like minded, 17 and to imitate his 
example ; 18 for many-were enemies to the gospel, 
being earthly minded, &C. 

FINALLY, my brethren, rejoice in the Lord. To 
write the fame things to you, to me indeed is not 
grievous, but for you, it is fafe. 

2 Beware of dogs, beware of evil workers, beware 
of the || concifion. 

3 For we are the circumcifion. which wprfhip God 
in the Spirit, and rejoice in Chrift Jefus, and have no 
confidence in the flefh : 

4 Though I might alfo have confidence in the flefh. 
If any other man thinketh that he hath whereof he 
might truft in the flefh, I mere : 

5 Circumcifed the eighth day, a of the flock of If- 
rael, of the tribe of Benjamin, an Hebrew of the He- 
brews ; as tori clung the law, b a Pharifee ; 

6 Concerning zeal, persecuting the church ; touch- 
ing the righteoufnefs which is in the law, blamelefs. 



7 But what things were gain to me, thofe I counted 
lofs for Chrift. 

8 Yea, doubtlefs, and I count all things but lofs for 
the excellency of the knowledge of Chrift Jefus my 
Lord : for whom I have fuffered the lofs of all things, 
and do count them but dung, that I may win Chrift, 

9 And be found in him, not having mine own 
righteoufnefs which is of the lavy, but that which is 
through the faith of Chrift, the righteoufnefs which is 
of God by faith ; 

10 That I may know him, and the power of his 
refurreclion, and the fellowfhip of his fufferings, being 
made conformable unto his death ; _ 

11 If by any means I might attain unto the refur^ 
reclion of the dead. 

12 Not as though I had already attained, either 
were already perfect ; but I follow after, if that I may 
apprehend that for which alfo I am apprehended of 
Chrift Jefus. 

13 Brethren, I count not myfelf to have appre- 
hended : hut this one thing I do, forgetting thofe 
things which are behind, and reaching forth unto 
thofe things which are before, 

14 I prefs toward the mark, for the prize of the 
high calling of God in Chrift Jefus. 

15 Let us, therefore, as many as be perfect, be thus 
minded ; and if in any thing ye be otherwife minded, 
God fhall reveal even this unto you. 

16 Neverthelefs, whereto we have already attained, 
let us walk by the fame rule, let us mind the fame thing. 

17 Brethren, be followers together of me, and mark 
them which walkfo, as ye have us for an enfample. 

18 (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, 
and now tell you even weeping, that they are the ene-" 
mies of the crofs of Chrift : 

19 Whofe end is deftruclion, whofe god is their 
belly, and whose glory is in their fhame, who mind 
earthly things,) 

20 For our converfation is in heaven ; from whence 
alfo we c look for the Saviour, the Lord Jefus Chrift : 

21 Who fhall change our vile body, that it 'may 
be fafhioned like unto his glorious body, according 
to the working whereby he is able even to fubdue ail 
things unto himfelf. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 Paul exciteth to stedfastness in Christ. 2 From 
particular admonitions, 4 he proceedeth to general 
exhortations: 10 he te stifle th his joy at their care 
for his supply in prison, though being always content 
he was above want : 18 he acknowledged their late 
bounty, assuring them that God would reward it : 
20 he giveth glory to God, and concludeth with salu- 
tations and a blessing. 
THEREFORE, my brethren, dearly beloved and 
longed for, my joy and crown, fo ftand fall in the 

Lord, my dearly beloved. 

2 I befeech Euodias, and I befeech Syntyche, that 
they be of the fame mind in the Lord. 

3 And I entreat thee alfo, true yoke fellow, help 
thofe women which laboured with me in the gofpel, 
with Clement alfo, and with other my fellow labour- 
ers, whofe names are in a the book of life. 

4 Rejoice in the Lord alway : and again I fay,

_ 15 Now, ye Philippians, know alfo, that in the be-

giving and receiving, but ye only. 

16 For even in TheiTalonica, ye fent once and again

17 Not becaufe I defire a gift : but I defire fruit 
that may abound to your account. 

18 But || I have all, and abound : I am full, having 
received of Epaphroditus the things which were sent 
from you, an odour of a fweet fmell, a facrifrce accept-

19 But my God fhall fupply all your need, accord-

20 Now, unto God and our Father be glory for ever

3 We give thanks to God and the Father of our

4 Since we heard of your faith in Chrift Jefus, and 
of the love which ye have to all the feints ; 

5 For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, 
whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the

PauFs care for the churches : 

23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and fettled, 
and be not moved away from the hope of the gofpel, 
which ye have heard, and which was preached to every 
creature which is under heaven : whereof I Paul am 
made a minilter : 

24 Who now rejoice in my fufferings for you, and 
fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of Chrift 
in my flefli for his body's fake, which is the church ; 

25 Whereof I am made a minifter, according to the 
difpenfation of God, which is given to me for you, 
II to fulfil the word of God ; 

26 Even e the myftery which hath been hid from 
ages, and from generations, but now is made mani- 
feft to his faints ; 

27 To whom God would make known" what is the 
riches of the glory of this myftery among the Gen- 
tiles, which is, Chrift j| in you, the hope of glory : 

28 Whom we preach, warning every man, and 
teaching every man in all wifdom, that we may 
prefent every man perfect in Chrift Jefus ; 

29 Whereunto I alfo labour, ftriving according to 
his working, which worketh in me mightily. 

CHAP. II. 
1 Paul's care for the churches which had not seen him : 

9 he comforteth the Colossians that they were com- 
plete in Christ, 16 therefore should not submit to 
legal ordinances, &c. 

FOR I would that ye knew what great || conflict 
I have for you, and for them at Laodicea, and 
for as many as have not feen my face in the flefh ; 

2 That their hearts might be comforted, being knit 
together in love, and unto all riches of the full affur- 
ance of underftanding, to the acknowledgment of the 
myftery of God, and of the Father, and of Chrift ; 

3 || In whom are hid all the treafures of wifdom and 
knowledge. 

4 And this I fay, left any man fliould beguile you 
with enticing words. 

5 For though I be abfent in the flefh, yet am I with 
you in the fpirit, joying and l>eholding your order, and 
the ftedfaftnefs of your faith in Chrift. 

6 As ye have therefore received Chrift Jefus the 
Lord, so walk ye in him ; 

7 Rooted and built up in him, and ftablifhed in the 
faith, as ye have been taught, abounding therein with 
thankfgiving. 

8 Beware left any man fpoil you through philofbphy 
and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the 
I rudiments of the world, and not after Chrift : 

*^'iT¥or in him dwelleth all the fulnefs of the Godr 
head Bodily. 

10 And ye are complete in him, which is the head 
of all principality and power ; 

11 In whom alfo ye are circumcifed with the cir- 
cumcjfion made without hands, in putting off the body 
of the fins of the flefh, by the circumcifion of Chrift ; 

12 a Buried with him inbaptifm, wherein alfo ye 
are rifen with him through the faith of the operation of 
God, who hath raifed him from the dead. 

13 b And you, being dead in your fins and the un- 
circumcifion of your flefh, hath he quickened together 
with him, having forgiven you all trefpaffes ; 

14 Blotting out the hand writing of ordinances that 
was againft us, which was contrary to us, and took it 

^out of the way, nailing it to his crois ; 

15 And, having fpoiled principalities and powers,

he made a fliew of them openly, triumphing over 
them || in it. 

16 Let no man therefore, judge you, || in meat or 
in drink, or H in refpeel of an holy day, or of the new 
moon, or of the fabbath days ; 

17 Which are a fhadow of things to come ; but 
the body is of Chrift. 

18 Let no man |j beguile you of your reward fin 
a voluntary humility and worfhipping of angels, in- 
truding into thofe things which he hath not feen, 
vainly puffed up by his flefhb, mincl ; 

1 9 And not holding the head , from which all the body, 
by joints and bands, having nourifhment miniftered 
and knit together, increafeth with the increafe of God. 

20 f Wherefore, if ye be dead with Chrift, from the 
|| rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the 
world, are ye fubjeftto ordinances, 

21 (Touch not, tafte not, handle not ; 

22 Which all are to perifli with the ufing,) after 
the commandments and doctrines of men ? 

23 Which things have indeed a fhew of wifdom in 
will worfhip,' and humility, and f| neglecting of the 
body, not in any honour to the fatisfving of the flefli. 

C H A P. III. " 
1 Paul exhorteth to be heavenly minded: 5 to put away 
carnal lusts: 12 he commendeth brotherly kindness, 
charity, &c. 13 The duties of wives, 19 of bus- 
bands, &fc. 

IF ye then be rifend rith Chrift, feek thofe things 
which are above^ilow're Chrift fitteth on the right 
hand of God. .as y 

2 Set your |j after, on on things above, not on 
things on the earth. [ v 

3 For ye are dead J' and your life is hid with Chrift 
in God. 

4 When Chrift, w'ho is our life, fhall appear, then 
fhall ye ilfc ipp . ith himingraryi 

5 Mortify therefore your t iberS which are upon 
the earth; a fornication , un . s,i n ordinate afreclion , 
evil coneupifcence, and covetoufnefs, which is idolatry ; 

6 For which things' fake the wrath of God cometh 
on the children of difobec'ience : 

7 In the which ye alfo walked fome time, when ye 
lived in them. 

8 But now ye alfo put off all thefe; anger, wrath, 
malice, blafphemy, filthy communication out of your 
mouth. _ 

9 Lie not one to another, feeing that ye have put off 
the old man with his deeds ; 

10 And have put on the new man, which is renewed 
in knowledge, after the image of him that created him : 

11 Where there is neither b Greek nor Jew, cir- 
cumcifion, nor uncircumciiion, Barbarian, Scythian, 
bond nor free ; but Chrift is alls and in ail. 

12 Put on, therefore, as the eleel of God, holy and 
beloved, bowels of mercies, kindnefs, humblenefs of 
mind, meeknefs, long fuffering ; 

13 Forbearing one another, and forgiving one an- 
other, if any man have a || quarrel againft any ; even 
as Chi ill forgave you, fo alfo do ye. 

14 And, above all thefe things, fmt on charity, 
which is the bond of perfeclnefs. 

15 And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, 
to the which alfo ye are called in one body ; and be 
ye thankful.

FOR yourfelves, brethren, know our entrance in 
unto you, that it was not in vain : 

2 But even after that we had fuffered before, and 
were fhamefully entreated, as ye know, at a Philippi, 
we were bold in our God to fpeak unto you the gofpel 
of God with much contention. 

3 For our exhortation was not of deceit, nor of 
uncleannefs, nor in guile ; 

4 But as we were allowed of God to be put in trull 
with the gofpel, even fo we fpeak, not as pleafing 
men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 

5 For neither at any time ufed we flattering words, 
as ye know, nor a cloak of covetoufnefs : God is 
witnefs. 

6 Nor of men fought we glory, neither of you, nor 
yet of others, when we might have [| been burdenfome, 
as the apollles of Chrift. 

7 But we were gentle among you, even as a nurfe 
cherilheth her children : 

8 So, being affecYionately defirous of you, we were 
willing to have imparted unto you, not the gofpel of 
God only, but alfo our own fouls, becaufe ye were 
dear unto us. 

9 For ye remember, brethren, our labour and 
travail: for b labouring night and day, becaufe we 
would not be chargeable unto any of you, we preached 
unto you the gofpel of God. 

10 Ye are witneffes, and God also, how holily, and 
juftly, and unblameably, we behaved ourfelves among 
you that believe : 

11 As ye know, how he exhorted, and comforted, 
and charged every one of you, (as a father doth his 
children,) 

12 c That ye would walk worthy of God, who 
hath called you unto his kingdom and glory. 

13 For this caufe alfo thank we God without ceaf- 
ing ; becaufe, when ye received the word of God, 
which ye heard of us, ye received it, not as the word 
of men, but (as it is in truth) the word of God, which 
effectually worketh alfo in you that believe. 

14 For ye, brethren, became followers of the 
churches of God which in Judea are in Chrift Jefus : 
for ye alfo have fuffered like things of your own 
countrymen, even as they have of the Jews : 

15 Who both killed the Lord Jefiu and their own 
prophets, and have || perfecuted us ; and they pleafe 
not God, and are contraiy to all men ; 

16 Forbidding us to fpeak to the Gentiles, that 
they might be faved, to fill up their fins alway : for 
the wrath is come upon them to the uttermoft. 

17 But we, brethren, being taken from you for a 
fhort time in prefence, not in heart,_ endeavoured the 
more abundantly to fee your face with great defire. 

18 Wherefore we would have come unto you 
(even I Paul) once and again, but Satan hindered us. 

19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of || re- 
joicing ? are not even ye in the prefence of our Lord 
Jefus Chrift at his coming ? 

20 For ye are our glory and jo v. 

CHAP. III. 
1 The apostle sheweth that, for his great love to the 
Thessalonians, he had sent Timothy to strengthen 
their faith, and comfort them : 6 whose good report 
had been to him a great consolation : 9 he testifieth 
bis thankfulness to God ; 11 and pray eth God for 
their increase in love and holiness. 



WHEREFORE, when we could no longer for- 
bear, we thought it good to be left at Athens 
alone. 

2 And lent Timotheus our brother, and minifter 
of God, and our fellow labourer in the gofpel of 
Chrift, to eftablifh you, and to comfort you concern- 
ing your faith ; 

3 That no man fhould be moved by thefe afflictions : 
for yourfelves know that we are appointed thereunto. 

4 For verily, when we were with you, we told you 
before that we fhould fuffer tribulation, even as it 
came to pafs, and ye know. 

5 For this caufe, when I could no longer forbear, 
I lent to know your faith, left by fome means the temp- 
ter have tempted you, and our labour be in vain. 

6 But now, when Timotheus came from you unto 
us, and brought us good tidings of your faith and char- 
it}', and that ye have good remembrance of us always, 
defiring greatly to fee us, as we alfo to see you ; 

7 Tnerefore, brethren, we were comforted over 
you in all our affliction and diftrefs by your faith ; 

8 For now we live, if ye ftand fall in the Lord. 

9 For what thanks can we render to God again for 
3'ou, for all the joy wherewith we joy for your fakes 
before our God ; 

10 Night and day praying exceedingly that we 
might fee your face, and might perfect that which is 
lacking in your faith ? 

1 1 Now God himielf, and our Father, and our Lord 
Jefus Chrift, || direcl our way unto you. 

12 And the Lord make you to increafe and abound 
in love one toward another, and toward all men, even 
as we do toward you ; 

13 To the end he may b ftablifh your hearts un- 
blameable inholinefs before God, even our Father, at 
the coming of our Lord Jefus Chrift with ail his faints. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 Paul exhorteth the Thessalonians to proceed in their 
endeavours to please God by a holy and just conver- 
sation : 9 he commendeth their love to one another, en- 
treating them to abound in it, 1 1 and quietly to fol- 
low their respective callings: 13 and that they might 
not sorrow for the dead, as men without hope, he 
briefly describeth the resurrection of the just, and 
Christ's second coming. 

FURTHERMORE then^ we |j befeech you, breth- 
ren, and |j exhort you by the Lord Jefus, that as 
ye have received of us how ye ought to walk, and to 
pleafe God, so ye would abound more and more. 

2 For ye know what commandments we gave you 
by the Lord Jefus. 

3 For this is the will of God, even your fancljfica- 
tion, that ye fhould abftain from fornication : 

4 That everyone of you mould know how to pof- 
fefs his veffel in fanclification and honour ; 

5 Not in the lull of concupifcence, even as the 
Gentiles which know not God : 

6 That no man go beyond and || defraud his brother 
|| in any matter ; becaufe that the Lord is the avenger l^Zlalh 
of all fuch, as we alfo have forewarned you, and tef- 
tified. 

7 For God hath not called us unto uncleannefs, but 
unto holinefs. 

8 He therefore, that || defpifeth, defpifethnot man, 
but God, who hath alfo given unto us his holy Spirit.

9 But as touching brotherly love, ye need not that 
I write unto you ; for ye yourfelves are a taught of 
God to love one another. 

10 And indeed ye do it toward all the brethren 
which are in all Macedonia : but we befeech you 
brethren, that ye increafe more and more ; 

11 And that ye ftudy to be quiet, and to do your 
own bulinefs, and to work with your own hands, as 
we commanded you : 

12 That ye may walk honeftly toward them that 
are without, and that ye may have lack || of nothing. 

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, 
brethren, concerning them which are afleep, that ye 
forrow not, even as others which have no hope. 

14 For if we believe that Jefus died, and rofe again, 
even 10 b them alfo which fleep in Jefus will God bring 
with him. 

15 For this we fay unto you by the word of the 
Lord, that we which are alive, and remain unto the 
coming of the Lord, fhall not prevent them which 
are afleep. 

16 For the Lord himfelf fhall defcend from heaven 
with a ihout, with the voice of the archangel, and 
with c the trump of God : and the dead in Chrift fhall 
rife firft. 

17 Then we, which are alive and remain, "fhall be 
caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet 
the Lord in the air : and fo fhall we ever be with the 
Lord. 

18 Wherefore, H comfort- one another with thefe 
words. 

CHAP. V. 

1 The apostle proceedeth to shew that Christ'- 's coming 
will be sudden, and exhorteth them to watch and be 
sober : 12 to respect their spiritual guides ; 14 and 
giveth divers other precepts : 23 his prayer and 
salutations. 

BUT of the times and the feafons, brethren, ye have 
no need that I write unto you : 

2 For yourfelves know perfectly, that a the day of 
the Lord fo cometh as a thief in the night. 

3 For when they fhall fay, Peace and fafety, then 
fudden deftruction cometh upon them, as travail up- 
on a woman with child ; and they fhall not efcape. 

4 But ye, brethren, arc not in darknefs, that that 
day fhould overtake you as a thief. 

5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children 



of the day : we are not of the night, nor of dark- 
nefs. 

6 Therefore, let us not fleep as do others; but let 
us watch and be fober. 

7 For they that fleep, fleep in the night ; and they 
that be drunken, are drunken in the night. 

8 But let us who are of the day, be fober, b putting 
on the breaftplate of faith and love ; and for an helmet 
the hope of falvation : 

9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to 
obtain falvation by our Lord Jefus Chrift, 

10 Who died for us, that whether we wake or fleep, 
we fhould live together with him. 

11 Wherefore, || comfort yourfelves together, and 
edify one another, even as alfo ye do. 

12 And we befeech you, brethren, c to knowthem 
which labour among you, and are over you in the 
Lord, and admonilh you ; 

13 And to efteem them veiy highly in love for 
their works' fake. And be at peace among your- 
felves. 

14 Now we || exhort you, brethren, warn them that 
are || unruly, comfort the feeble minded, fupport the 
weak, be patient toward all men. 

15 d See that none render evil for evil unto any 
man ; but ever follow that which is good, both among 
yourfelves and to all men. 

16 Rejoice evermore. 

17 e Pray without ceafing. 

18 In every thing give thanks : for this is the will of 
God in Chrift Jefus concerning you. 

19 Quench not the Spirit. 

20 Defpife not prophefyings. 

21 Prove all things : hold faft that which is good. 

22 Abftain from all appearance of evil. 

23 And the very God of peace fanclify you wholly ; 
■cindlprai/ God, your whole fpirit, and foul, and body, 
be preferred blamelefs unto the coming of our Lord 
Jefus Chrift. 

24 Faithful is he that calleth you, who alfo will do it.

of the good opinion which he bad of their faith, love, 
and patience : 6 of the righteous judgment of God in 
punishing their enemies, and recompensing their suf- 
ferings ; 1 1 and of his prayers that God would fulfil 
his gracious purpose in them. 

PAUL, and Silvanus, and Timotheua, unto the 
church of the Theffalonians in God our Father, 
and the Lord Jefus Chrift : 

2 Grace unto you, and peace, from God our Fa- 
ther, and the Lord Jefus Chrift. 

3 a We are bound to thank God always for you, 
brethren, as it is meet, becaufe that your faith grovv- 



eth exceedingly, and the charity of every one of you

4 So that we ourfelves glory in you in the churches

5 Which is a maniicft token of the righteous judg-

10 When he mall come to be glorified in his faints, 
and to be admired in all them that believe (becaufe 
our teftirnony among you was believed) in that day. 

11 Wherefore alfo, we pray always for you, that 
our God would || count you worthy of this calling, 
and fulfil all the good pleafure of his goocfcefs, and 
the work of faith with power ; 

12 That the name of our Lord Jefus Chrift may be 
glorified in you, and ye in him, according to the grace 
of our God, and the Lord Jefus Chrift. 

€ HAP. II. 

1 Paul sheweth the Thessalonians how groundless the 
surmise was, that the day of Christ was near at 
hand ; 3 that it would be preceded by a great apos- 
tacy, and that the man of sin would Jirst be revealed, 

13 he repeateth his good hopes concerning them, 15 
exhorting them to stand fast in his doctrine, and 
prayeth God to comfort them, fcfc. 

NOW we befeech you, brethren, by the coming of 
our Lord Jefus Chrift, and by our gathering to- 
gether unto him, 

2 That ye be not foon fhaken in mind, or be trou- 
bled, neither by fpirit, nor by word, nor by letter as 
from us, as that the day of Chrift is at hand. 

3 Let no man deceive you by any means : for that 
day shall not come except there come a falling away 
firft, and that man of fin be revealed, the fon of per- 
dition ; 

4 \Vno oppofeth and exalteth himfelf above all 
that is called God, or that is worihipped ; fo that he 
as God, fitteth in the temple of God, fhewing himfelf 
that he is God. 

5 Remember ye not, that when I was yet with you, 
I told you thefe things ? 

6 And now ye know what || withholdeth, that he 
might be revealed in his time. 

7 For the myftery of iniquity doth already work : 
only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken 
out of the way; 

8 And then fhall that Wicked be revealed, whom 
the Lord fhall confume a with the fpirit of his mouth, 
and lhall deftroy with the brightnefs of his coming ; 

9 Even him, whofe coming is after the working' of 
Satan with all power, and figns, and lying wonders, 

10 And with all deceivablenefs of unrighteous 
in them that perifh ; becaufe they received not the 
love of the truth, that they might be faved. 

11 And for this caufe God fhall fend them flrong 
delufion, that they mould believe a lie ; 

12 That they all might be damned who believed 
not the truth, but had pleafure in unrighteoufnefs. 

13 But we are bound to give thanks alway to God 
for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord, becaufe God 
hath from the beginning chofen you to falvation 
through fanctification of the Spirit, and belief of the 
truth :

CHAP. IIL 

1 The apostle desireth the Thessalonians'' prayers, 3 
testifying his confidence in them : 5 he prayeth God 
to direct them: 6 he censure th the idle and disorderly, 
and require th others to abstain from their company : 
16 he concludeth with prayer and salutation. 

INALLY, brethren, A pray for us, that the word aEphes, 
of the Lord f may haxefree courfe, and be giori- co\oss. 4 g,

2 And that we may be delivered from f unreafona-

3 But the Lord is faithful, who fliall ftablilh you, 
and keep you from evil. 

4 And we have confidence in the Lord touching 
you, that ye both do and will do die things which we 
command you. 

5 And the Lord direct, your hearts into the love of 
God, and |j into the patient waiting for Chrift. 

6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name p a^ eof 
of our Lord Jefus Chrift, that ye withdraw yourfeives 

from every brother that walketh diforderiy, and not 
after the tradition which he received of us. 

7 For yourfeives know how ye ought to follow 
us ; for we behaved not ourfeives diforderiy among 
you ; 

8 Neither did we eat any man's bread for nought ; 
but wrought with labour and travail night and day, 

that we might not be chargeable to any of you : ' 

9 Not becaufe we have not power, but to make 
ourfeives an enfample unto you to follow us. 

10 For even when we were with you, this we 
commanded you, that if any would not work, neither 
mould he eat. 

11 For we hear that there are fome which walk 
among you diforderiy, working not at all, but are 
bufy bodies. 

12 Now them that are fuch, we command and 
exhort by our Lord Jefus Chrift, that with quietnefs 
they wo*k, and eat their own bread. 

13 But ye, brethren, b || be not weary in well 
doing.

him, that he may be afhamed.

The salutation. 3 Timothy is reminded of the charge 
before given him by Paul. 5 The end of the com- 
mandment is charity. 18 Timothy urged to a due 
discharge of his trust, and warned of some -who had 
deserted the truth. 

PAUL, 'an apoftle of Jefus Chrift by the command- 
ment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jefiis Chrift, 
vjhich is our hope* 

2 Unto Timothy, my own fon in the faith : Grace, 
mercy, and peace, from God our Father, and Jefus 
Chrift our Lord. 

3 As I befought thee to abide ftill at Ephefus when 
I went into Macedonia, that thou mighteft charge 
fome that they teach no other doctrine ; 

4 a Neither give heed to fables, and end'efs geneal- 
ogies, which minifler queftions rather than godly ed- 
ifying which is in faith : so do. 

5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out 
of a pure heart, and of a good confcience, and of 
faith unfeigned ; 

■ 6 From which fome || having fwerved, have turned 
afide unto vain jangling ; 

7 Defiring to be teachers of the law ; underftand- 
ing neither what they fay,, nor whereof they affirm. _ 

8 But we know that the law is good, if a man ufe it 
law fully ; 

9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a 
righteous man, but for the lawlefs and difobedient, 
for the ungodly and for finners, for unholy and pro- 
fane, for murderers of lathers and murderers of moth- 
ers, for manltayerSy 

10 For whoremongers, for them that defile them- 
felvcs with mankind, for men ftealers, for liars, for 
perjured perfons, and if there be any other thing that 
is contrary to found doelrine ; 

11 According to the glorious gofpel of the bleffed 
God, which was committed to my truft. 

12 And I thank Chrift Jefus our Lord, who hath 
enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting 
me into the miniRry ; 

13 Who was before ablafphemer, and a perfecutor, 
and injurious : but I obtained mercy, becaufe I did it 
ignorantly in unbelief. 

14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding abun- 
dant with faith and love which is in Clirill Jefus. 

15 This is a faithful faying, and worthy of all ac- 
ceptation, that '"Chriit Jefus came into the world to 
fave finners ; of whom lam chief. 

16 Howbtit, for this caufe I obtained mercy, that 
in me firft Jefiis Chrift might ihew forth all long 
funering, for a pattern to them which lhould here- 
after believe on him to life everlafting. 

17. Now, unto the King eternal, immortal, invifi- 
ble, the only wife God, be honour and glory for ever 
and ever. Amen. 

18 This charge I commit unto thee, fon Timothy, 
according to the prophecies which went before on 
thee, that thou by them mighteft war a good warfare ; 

19 Holding faith and a. good confcience ; which 
fome having put away, concerning faith have made 
fhipwreck : 

20 Of whom is Hymeneus and Alexander : whom 
I have c delivered unto Satan, that they may tarn 
not to blafpheme.

1 Paul exhorteih to pray and give thanks for all men. 
4 God willeth the salvation of all men. 8 Ho w women 
should be attired .-11 they are not permitted to teach : 
15 they shall be saved in childbearing, if they con- 
tinue in faith, £s?c. 
|| EXHORT, therefore, that, firft of all, fupplica- 
tions, prayers, interceffions, tf/zc/ giving, of thanks, 
be made for ail men ; 

2 For kings, and for all that are in || authority ; 
that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all 
godlinefs and honefty : 

3 For this is good and acceptable in the fight of 
God our Saviour, 

4 Who will have all men to be faved, and to come 
unto the knowledge of the truth. 

5 For there is one God, and one mediator between 
God and men, the man Chrift Jefus ; 

6 \Vho gave himfelf a ranfom for all, || to be tefti- 
fied in due time. 

7 a Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an 
apoftle, CI fpeak the truth in Chrift, and lie not), a 
teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity. 

8 I will, therefore, that men pray every where, lift- 
ing up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. 

9 In like manner alfo, that b women adorn them- 
felves in modefl apparel, with lhamefacednefs and 
fobriety - r not with || broidered hair, or gold, or pearls, 
or coftly array ; 

10 But (which becometh women profefting godli- 
nefs) with good works. 

1 1 Let the woman learn in fiience with all fubjec- 
tion. 

12 But c I fuffer not a woman to teach, nor to 
ufurp authority over the man, but to be in fiience. 

13 For Adam was firft formed, then Eve. 

14 And Adam was not deceived ; but the woman, 
being deceived, was in the tranfgveiuon.

11 Even to must their wives be grave, not flander- 
ers ; fober, faithful in all things. 

12 Letthe deacons be the hufbands ' of one wife, 
ruling their children and their own houfes well. 

13 For they that have || ufed the office of a deacon 
well, purchafeto themfelves a good degree, and great 
boldnefs in the faith which is in Chrift Jefiis. 

14 Thefe things write I unto thee, hoping to come 
unto thee ihortly : 

15 But if I tarry long, that thou mayeft know how 
thou oughteft to behave thyfelf in the houfe of God, 
which is the church of the living God, the pillar and 
|| ground of the truth. 

16 And, without con troverfy, great is the myftery 
ofgodlinefs : God was manifeft in the fiefh, juftified 
in the Spirit, feen of angels, preached unto the Gen- 
tiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory. 

C H A P. IV. 
1 Paid fore telle th and describe th a great apostacy to 
happen in the latter times ; 6 he directeth Timothy 
what doctrines to teach, 12 and by what rides to reg- 
ulate his conduct, so as to save both himself and his 
hearers. 

OW the Spirit fpeaketh exprefsly, that a in the 
latter times fome fliall depart from the faith, giv- 
ing heed to feducing fpirits, and doctrines of devils ; 

2 Speaking lies in hypOcrify ; having their con- 
ference feared with a hot iron ; 

3 Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abftain 
from meats,whichGod hath created to be received with 
thankfgiving of them which believe andknowthe truth. 

4 For every creature of- God is good, and nothing 
to be refufed, if it be received with thankfgiving : 

5 For it is fanclified by the word of God and prayer. 

6 If thou put the brethren in remembrance of thefe 
things, thou fhait.be a good minifter of Jefus Chrift, 
nourilhed up in the words of faith and of good doc- 
trine, w hereunto thou halt attained. 

7 But refufe profane and old wives' fables, and ex- 
ercife thyfelf rather unto godlinefs. 

8 For bodily exercife profiteth |j little ; but godli- 
nefs is profitable unto all things, having promife of 
the life that now is, and of that which is to come. 

9 This is a faithful faying, and worthy of all accep- 
tation. 

10 For therefore we both labour and fuffer re- 
proach, becaufe we truft in the living God, who is the 
Saviour of all men, fpecially of thofe that believe. 

1 1 Thefe things command and teach. 

12 Let no man defpife thy youth ; but be thou an 
example of the believers, in word, in converfation, in 
charity, in fpirit, in faith, in purity. 

13 Till I come, give attendance to reading, to ex- 
hortation, to doctrine. 

14 Neglect not the gift that is in thee, which was 
given thee by prophecy, with the laying on of the 
hands of the prefbytery. 

15 Meditate upon thefe things ; give thyfelf wholly 
to them ; that thy profiting may dtoear || to all.

CHAP. V. 

1 Directions how to admonish persons of different con- 
ditions. 3 Of Widows. 17 Elders, if they do 
well, are to be doubly honoured. 23 Advice respect- 
ing Timothy^s health. 24 Some men's Characters 
are more easily discerned than others. 

REBUKE not an elder, but entreat him as a father, 
and the younger men as brethren ; 

2 The elder women as mothers, the younger as lif- 
ters, with all purity. . 

3 Honour widows that are widows indeed. 

4 But if any widow have children or nephews, let 
them learn firft to fhew || piety at home, and to re- 
quite their parents ; for that is good and acceptable 
before God. 

5 Now fhe that is a widow indeed, and defolate, 
trufteth in God, and continueth in fupplications and 
prayers night and day. 

_ 6 But fhe that liveth || in pleafure is dead while (lie 
liveth. 

7 And thefe things give in charge, that they may be 
blamelefs. 

8 But if any provide not for his own, and fpecially 
for thofe of his own Ihhoufe, he hath denied the faith, 
and is worfe than an infidel. 

9 Let not a widow be || taken into the number,under 
threefcore years old, having been the wife ofone man, 

10 Well reported of fpr good works ; if Ihe have 
brought up children, ^ if fhe have lodged ftrangers, if 
fhe have wafhed the faints' feet, if ihe have relieved 
the afflicted, if fhe have diligently followed every 
good work. 

1 1 But the younger widows refufe : for when they 
have begun to wax wanton againlt Chrift, they will 
marry ; 

12 Having damnation, becaufe they have caft off 
their firft faith. 

13 And withal ■ they learn to be idle, wandering 
about from houfe to houfe ; and not only idle, but 
tattlers alfo and bufy bodies, fpeaking things which 
they ought not." 

14 I will therefore that the younger women marry, 
bear children, guide the houfe, give none occafion to 
the adverfary f to fpeak reproachfully. 

15 For fome are already turned" afide after Satan. 

16 If any man or woman that believeth have widows, 
let them relieve them, and let not the church be charg- 
ed ; that it may relieve them that are widows indeed. 

17 a Let the elders that rule well be counted wor- 
thy of double honour, efpecially they who labour in 
the word and doctrine. 

18 For the fcripture faith, b Thou fhalt not muzzle 
the ox thattreadeth out the corn : and, c The labourer 
is worthy of his reward. 

19 Againft an elder receive not an accufation, but 
II before two or three witneffes. 

20 Them that fin rebuke before all, that others alfo 
may fear. 

21 I charge thee before God, and the Lord Jefus 
Chrift, and the elect angels, that thou obferve thefe 
things, || without preferring one before another, doing 
nothing by partiality.

6 But godlinefs with contentment is great gain. 

7 For we brought nothing into this world, and it is

The Second Epistle of PAUL, the Apoftle, to TIMOTHY. 



CHAP. I. 

1 Paul affectionately saluteth Timothy : 2 his constant 
prayers for him, and remembrance of the unfeigned 
faith which was in him, his mother, and grandmo- 
ther : 6 he exhorteth him to stir up the gift of God 
in him, 8 and not to be ashamed of the gospel testi- 
mony ; 13 to holdfast the form of sound words : 15 
he remindeth him of the general defection in Asia, 
16 Onesiphorus' kindness highly commended. 

PAUL, an apoftle of Jefus Chrifl, by the will of 
God, according to the promife of life, which is in 
Chrifl Jefus, 

2 To Timothy, my dearly beloved fon : Grace, 
mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and Chrifl: 
Jefus our Lord. 

3 I thank God, whom I fcrve from my forefathers 
with pure confeience, that without ceaiing I have re- 
membrance of thee in my prayers night and day ; 

4 Greatly defiring to fee thee, being mindful of thy 
tears, that I may be filled with joy ; 

5 C 



5 When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith D ^J\^j t 
that is in thee, which dwelt firil in thy grandmother .J*^. 
Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am perfuaded s- ^~ v 
that in thee alfo. 

6 Wherefore I put thee in remembrance, that thou 
flir up the gift of God, which is in thee by the putting 
on of my hands. 

7 For God hath not given us the fpirit of fear ; but 
of power, and of love, and of a found mind. 

8 Be not thou, therefore, afhamed of the teilimony 
of our Lord, nor of me his prifoner : but be thou par- 
taker of the afflictions of the gofpel according to the 
power of God; 

9 Who hath faved us, and called us with an holy 
calling, a not according to our works, but according a Titus 35 . 
to his own purpoie and grace, which was given us in 
Chrifl Jefus, b before the world began ; T ?&' '"

12 For the which caufe I alfo fuffer thefe things : 
neverthelefs I am not afhamed ; for I know whom I 
have || believed and am periuaded that he is able to 
keep that which I have committed unto him againft 
that day. 

13 Hold faft the form of found words which thou 
haft heard of me, in faith and love, which is in Chrift 
Jefus. 

14 That good thing which was committed unto 
thee, keep by the Holy Ghoft which dwelleth in us. 

15 This thou knoweft, that all they which are in 
Aha be turned away from me ; of whom are Phy- 
gellus and Hermogenes. 

16 The Lord give mercy unto the- houfe of One - 
fiphorus ; for he oft refrefhed me, and was not afham- 
ed of my chain : 

17 But when he was in Rome, he fought me out 
very diligently, and found me. 

18 The Lord grant unto him that he may find mercy 
of the Lord in that day : and in how many things he 
miniftered unto me at Ephefus thou knoweft very well.

the word of truth, and to shun profane and main bab- 
blings. 17 The dangerous error of Hymenals and 
Philetus. 19 The foundation of God standeth sure. 
22 Timothy is taught what to flee, and what to

THOU, therefore, my fon, be ftrong in the grace 
that is in Chrilt Jefus.

was raifed from the dead, according to my gofpel ; 

9 Wherein I fuffer trouble as an evil doer, even 
unto bonds ; but the word of God is not bound. 

10 Therefore I endure ail things for the elect's 
fakes, that they may aifo obtain the falvation which is 
in Chrift Jefus with eternal glory. _ 

11 It is a faithful faying, For a if we be d?ad with 
him, we (hall alfo live with him : 

12 b If we fuffer, we fhall alfo reign with him : c if 
we deny him, he alfo will deny us : 

13 d If we believe not, yet he. abide th faithful ; he 
cannot deny himfelf. 

14 Of thefe things put them in remembrance,

20 But in a great houfe there are not only veffels of

21 If a man, therefore, purge himfelf from thefe, 
he fhall be a veifel unto honour, fanciiiied, and. meet

at his will. 

CHAP. III. 
1 The apostle foretelleth the evil characters that should 
appear in the last days ; 6 he describeth the enemies 
of the truth : 10 propoundeth unto Timothy his own 
example ; 14 and commendeth a stedfast use of the 
holy scriptures. 

THIS know alfo, that a in the laft days perilous 
times fhall come : 

2 For men fhall be lovers of their own felves, cov- 
etous, boafters, proud, blaiphemers, difobedient to 
parents, unthankful, unholy, 

3 Without natural affection, truce breakers, || falfe 
accufers, incontinent, fierce, defpifers of thofe that 
are good, 

4 Traitors, heady, high minded, lovers of pleafures 
more than lovers of God ; 

5 Having a form of godlinefs, but denying the 
power thereof : from fuch turn away. 

6 For of this fort arc they which creep into houfes, 
and lead captive filly women laden with fins, led away 
with divers lufts, 

7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the 
knowledge of the truth. 

8 Now, as Jannes and Jambres withftood Mofes, 
fo do thefe alfo refift the truth ; men of corrupt 
minds, || reprobate concerning the faith. 

9 But they fhall proceed no further : for their folly 
fhall be manifeft unto all men, as theirs alfo was.

zoarnew him to beware of Alexander : 16 he inform- 
eth him what had bef alter him at his first answer :

I CHARGE thee, therefore, before God, and the 
Lord Jefus Chrift, who Ihail judge the quick and 
the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 

2 Preach the word ; be inftant in feafen, out of 
fenfon ; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with all long iuffer- 
ing and doctrine. 

3 For the time will come when they will not endure 
found doctrine ; but after their own lufts ihall they 
heap to themfelves teachers, having itching ears ; 

4 And they fhall turn away their ears from the 
truth, and fhall be turned unto fables. 

5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, 
do the work of an evangelift, || make full proof of 
thy miniftry. 

6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time 
of my departure is at hand : 

7 I have fought a good fight, I have finifhed my 
courfe, I have kept the faith ; 



3 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of 
righteoufnefs, which the Lord, the righteous Judge, 
fhall give me at that day : and not to me only, but 
unto all them alio that love his appearing. 

9 Do thy diligence to come fhortly unto me : 

10 ForDemas hath forfaken me, having loved this 
prefent world, and is departed unto Theffalonica, 
Crefeens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. 

11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark and bring him 
with thee : for he is profitable to me for the miniftry. 

12 And Tychicus have I fent to Ephei'us. 

13 The cloak that I left at Troas with Carpus, 
when thou comeft, bring with thee, and the books, 
but especially the parchments. 

14 Alexander the copperfmith did me much evil ; 
the Lord reward liim according to his works ; 

15 Of whom be thou ware alfo ; for he hath greatly 
withftood || our words. 

16 At my firit anfwer no man ftood with me, but 
all men forfook me : I pray God that it may not be 
laid to their charge. 

17 Notwithftanding the Lord ftood with me, and 
ftrengthened me ; that by me the preaching might be 
fully known, and that ail the Gentiles might hear; 
and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 

18 And the Lord fhall deliv% me from every evil 
work, and will preferve me unto his heavenly king- 
dom : to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 

19 Salute Prifca and Aquila, and the houfehold of

Crete. 6 How they who are ordained to the ministry 
should be qualified. 1 1 The mouths of evil teachers 
must be stopped. 12 The bad character of the 
Cretians. 

PAUL, a fer^ant of God, and an apoitle of Jefus 
Chrift, according to the faith of God's elect, and 
the acknowledging of the truth, which is after godlineis ; 

2 || In hope o> sternal lite, \\ inch God, that cannot 
lie, promifed * before the world began ; 

3 But hath in due times manifested his word through 
preaching, which is committed unto me, according to 
the commandment of God ot;r Saviour ; 

4 To Titus, mine own ion after the common faith : 
Grace, mercy, and peace, from God the Father, and 
the Lord Jefus Chrift our Saviour: 

5 For this caufe left I thee in Crete, that thou fhould- 
eft let in order the things that are j| wanting, and or- 
dain ciders in every city, as I had appointed thee.

fober. juft, holy temperate ; 

9 Holding faft the faithful word, || as he hath been 
taught, that he may be able by found doctrine both to 
exhort and to convince the gainfayers. 

10 For there arc many unruly and vain talkers and 
deceivers, fpecialiy they of the circumcifion ; 

11 Whole mouths muft be {topped : who fubvert 
whole houfes, teaching things which they ought not, 
for filthy iucre's fake.

a obedient to their own hufbands, that the word of 
God be not blafphemed. 

6 Young men likewife exhort to be || fober minded. 

7 In all things fheping thyfelf a pattern of good

every good work, 

2 To fpeak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but 
gentle, (hewing all meeknefs unto all men. 

3 For b we ourfelves alfo were lbmetimes foolifh,

6 Which he fhed onus f abundantly, through Jefus ter..r«ft4* 
Chrifl our Saviour ; 

7 That being j uHified by his grace, we fhould be 
made heirs according to the hope of eternal life. 

8 This is a faithful faying, and thefe things I will that 
thou affirm conflantly, that they which have believed 
in God might be careful to maintain good works. 
Thefe things are good and profitable unto men. 

9 But d avoid foolifh queflions and genealogies, and aiT'"- 1 *

aesireth him to forgive his servant Onesimus, now 
become a faithful disciple of Christ : 22 he expecteth 
a speedy release. 

PAUL, a prifoner of Jefus Chrift, and Timothy our 
brother, unto Philemon our dearly beloved and 
fellow labourer, 

2 And to our beloved Apphia, and Archippus our 
fellow foldier, and to the church in thy houfe : 

3 Grace to you, and peace, from God our Father,

4 a I thank my God, making mention of thee al- 
ways in my prayers, 

5 Hearing of thy love and faith, which thou haft 
toward the Lord Jefus, and toward all faints ; 

6 That the communication of thy faith may become 
effectual, by the acknowledging of every good thing 
which is in you in Chrift Jefus. 

7 For we have great joy and confolation in thy love, 
becaufe the bowels of the faints are refrefhed by thee, 
brother.

Chrift, to enjoin thee that which is convenient,

I have begotten in my bonds : 

11 Which in time paft was to thee unprofitable, 
but now profitable to thee and to me ; 

12 Whom I _have lent again ; thou therefore re- 
ceive him, that is, mine own bowels ; 

13 Whom I would have retained with me, that in 
thy ftead he might have miniftered unto me in the 
bonds of the gofpel : 

14 But without thy mind would I do nothing ; 
that thy benefit fhould not be as it were of neceflity, 
but willingly. 

15 For perhaps he therefore departed for a feafon, 
that thou fhouldeft receive him for ever j 

16 Not now as a fervant, butabove a fervant, a bro- 
ther beloved, fpecially to me ; but how much more 
unto thee, both in the flefh and in the Lord ? 

17 If thou count me, therefore, a partner, receive 
him as myfelf. 



18 If he hath wronged thee, or oweth thee aught, 
put that on mine account ; 

19 I Paul have written it with mine own hand, 
I will repay it ; albeit I do not fay to thee, how thou 
oweft unto me even thine own felf befides. 

20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee m the 
Lord : refrefh my bowels in the Lord. 

21 Having confidence in thy obedience, I wrote 
unto thee, knowing that thou wilt alfo do more than 
I fay. 

22 But withal prepare me alfo a lodging : for I trufl 
that through your prayers, I fhall be given unto you. 

23 There falute thee Epaphras, my fellow prifoner 
in Chrift Jefus ;

GOD, who at fundry times, and in divers man- 
ners, fpake in time paft unto the fathers by the 
prophets, 

2 Hath in thefe lafl days fpoken unto us by his Son, 
whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom

purged our fins, fat down on the right hand of the

CHAP. II. 

1 The gospel doctrine must be attended to. ^ 5 The do~

but to Christ. 

THEREFORE we ought to give the more earneft 
heed to the things which we have heard, left at

10 Fork became him, for whom are all things, 
and by whom arc all tilings, in bringing many fons 
unto glory, to make the Captain of their faivation

11 For both he that iancYifieth, and they who are

14 Forafmuch then as the children are partakers of

the fame ; that through death he might deftroy him 
that had the power of death, that is, the devil ; 

15 And deliver them who through fear of death 
were, all their lifetime fubjecl to bondage.

CHAP. III. 

1 Christ is shelved to be far more worthy than Mo- 
ses : 7 therefore the example of the obstinate and un- 
believing Israelites in the wilderness must not he fol- 
lowed. 

WHEREFORE, holy brethren, partakers of the

Prieft of our profeflion, Chrift Jefus ;

3 For this man was counted worthy of more glory 
than Mofes, inafmuch as he who hath builded the

4 For every houfe is builded by fome man ; but he

5 And Mofes verily was faithful in all his houfe as

8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provocation, in

9 When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and

10 Wherefore I was grieved with that generation, 
and faid, They do alway err in their heart ; and they 
have not known my ways. 

i-Gr. if they 11 So I fware in my wrath, f They fhall not enter

12 Take heed, brethren, left there be in any of you 
an evil heart of unbelief, in departing from the living

13 But exhort one another daily, while it is called

4 For he fpake ma certain place of the feventh day

5 And in this place again, If they fhall enter into 
my reft. _ 

6 Seeing, therefore, it remaineth that fome muft 
enter therein, and they to whom || it was firft preached, n-pr, 
entered not in, becaufe of unbelief ; %Ft?nt 

7 (iVgain, he limiteth a certain day, faying in Da- preached.

if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts. ' 

8 For if || Jefus had given them reft, then would he yS«."'

9 There remaineth, therefore, a || reft to the people " ° r 
of God. 

10 For he that is entered into his reft, he alfo hath 
ceafed from his own works, as God did from his.) 

11 Let us labour, therefore, to enter into that reft, )0r dis 
left any man fall after the fame example of || unbelief, ohli.nct. 

12 For the word of God is quick and powerful, 
and f harper than any two edged fword, piercing even 
to the dividing afunder of foul and fpirit, and of the 
joints and marrow, and is a difjeerner of the thoughts 
and intents of the heart. 

13 Neither is there any creature that is not mani- 
feft in his fight : but all things are naked and opened 
unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do. 

14 Seeing then that we have a great High Prieft, 
that is paffed into the heavens, Jefus the Son of God, 
let us hold fail our profeflion. 

15 For we have not an high prieft which cannot be 
touched with the feeling of our infirmities ; but was 
in all points tempted like as we are, yet without fin. 

16 Let us, therefore, come boldly unto the throne 
of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to 
help in time of need.

Christ's priesthood of a far more excellent order than 
that of Aaron's, 1 from the character of Melchise- 
dec; 11 from the imperfection of the Levitical priest- 
hood ; 20 from its being confirmed by an oath. 
FOR this ■ Meichifedec, king of Salem, prieft of the 
Molt High God, who met Abraham returning 
from the flaughter of the kings, and bleffed him ; 

2 lo whom alfo Abraham gave a tenth part of all : 
hrit being, by interpretation, King of righteoufnefs, and 
alter that alio, King of Salem, which is, King of peace • 

3 VVithout father, without mother, f without de- 
icent, having neither beginning of days, nor end of T" 
hie ; but, made like unto the Son of God, abideth a 
prieft continually. 

4 Now confider how great this man was, unto whom 
even the patriarch Abraham gave the tenth of the fpoils 

5 And verily b they that are of the fons of Levi 
who receive the office of the priefthood, have a com- 
mandment to take tithes of the people according to 
the law, that is, of their brethren, though they come 
out of the loins of Abraham: 

6 Buthe, whofe || defcent is not counted from them 
received tithes of Abraham, and bleffed him that had 
the promifes. 

7 And, without all contradiction, the lefs is bleffed 
of the better. 

8 And here men that die receive tithes : but there 
hvrcceivcth them,oi\\hom it is witneffed that he liveth

tithes, paid tithes in Abraham.

rife after the order of Melchifedec, and not be called 
after the order of Aaron ? 

12 For the priefthood being changed, there is 
made of neceffity a change alfo of the law. 

13 For he of whom thefe things are fpoken per- 
taineth to another tribe, of which no man gave attend- 
ance at the altar. 

14 For it is evident that our Lord fprang out of 
Juda ; of which tribe Mofes fpake nothing concern- 
ing priefthood. 

15 And it is yet far more evident ; for that after the 
fimilitude of Melchifedec there arifeth another prieft, 

16 Who is made not after the law of a carnal com- 
mandment, but after the power of an endlefs life. 

17 For he teftifieth, c Thou art a prieft for ever, 
after the order of Melchifedec. 

18 For there is verily a difannulling of the com- 
mandment going before, for the weaknefs and un- 
profitablenefs thereof. 

19 For the law made nothing perfect, || but the 
bringing in of a better hope did ; bj^ the which we 
draw nigh unto God. 

20 And inafmuch as not without an oath he was 
made priest :

A ^ff™ Lord fware, and will not repent. Thou art a prieft 
for ever, after the order of Melchifedec :) 

22 By fo much was Jefus made a furety of a better 
teftament. 

23 And they truly were many priefts, becaufe they 
were not fuftered to continue by reafon of death : 

24 But this man, becaufe he continueth ever, hath 
|| an unchangeable priefthood. 

25 Wherefore he is able alfo to fave them || to the 
uttermoft that come unto God by him, feeing he ever 
liveth to make interceffion for them. 

26 For fuch an high prieft became us, who is holy, 
harmiefs, undefiled, feparate from Tinners, and made 
higher than the heavens ; 

27 Who needeth not daily, as e thofe high priefts, 
to offer up facrifice, firft for his own lins, and then for 
the people's : for this he did once, when he offered 
up himfelf. 

28 For the law maketh men high priefts which 
have infirmity : but the word of the oath, which was 
imce the law, maketh the Son, who is f confecrated 
for evermore. 

CHAP. VIII. 
1 Christ, our great high priest in the heavens, hath a 
more excellent ministry than the priests on earth, 6 
as he is the mediator of a better covenant than that 
given to Moses. 

OW of the things which we have fpoken this is 
the fum : We have fuch an high prieft, who is 
fet on the right hand of the throne of the Majefty in 
the heavens ; 

2 A minifter || of the fancluary, and of the true tab- 
ernacle, which the Lord pitched, and not man. 

3 For every high prieft is ordained to offer gifts and 
facrifices : wherefore it is of neceffity that tins man 
have fomewhat alfo to offer. 

4 For if he were on earth, he fhouldnot be a prieft, 
feeing that |j there are priefts that offer gifts according

heavenly thingsj as Mofes was admonifhed of God 
when he was about to make the tabernacle : a for, See, 
faith he, that thou make all things according to the 
pattern fhewed to thee in the mount. 

6 But now hath he obtained a more excellent min- 
iftry, by how much alfo he is the mediator of a bet- 
ter || covenant, which was eftablifhed upon better 
promifes. 

7 For if that firft covenant had been faultlefs, then 
fhould no place have been fought for the fecond. 

8 For finding fault with them, he faith, b Behold, 
the days come, faith the Lord, when I will make a 
new covenant with the houfe of Ifrael, and with the 
houfe of Judah : 

9 Not according to the covenant that I made with 
their fathers, in the day when I took them by the 
hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt ; becaufe 
they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded 
them not, faith the Lord. 

10 For this is the covenant that I will make with 
the houfe of Ifrael, After thofe days, faith the Lord, I 
will t put my laws into their mind, and write them 
II in their hearts : and I will be to them a God, and 
they fhall be to me a people : 

11 And they fhall not teach every man his neigh- 
bour, and every man his brother, faying, Know 
the Lord : for all fhall know me, from the leaf); to the 
greateft. 

12 For I will be merciful to their unrighteoulhefs, and 
their fins and their iniquities will I remember no more. 

13 In that he faith, A new covenant, he hath made 
the firft old. Now, that which decayeth and waxeth

7 But into the fecond went the high prieft alone

10 Which stood orAy in meats and drinks, and divers 
warnings, and carnal [j ordinances, impofed on them 
until the time of reformation. 

11 But Chrift being come an high prieft of good 
things to come, b.v a greater and more perfeel taber- 
nacle, not made with hands, that is to fay, not of this 
building ; 

12 Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but 
by his own blood, he entered in once into the holy 
place, having obtained eternal redemption /cr us. 

13 For if g the blood of bulls, and of goats, and h the 
afh.es of an heifer, fprinkling the unclean, fanclifieth 
to the purifying of the fiefh ; 

14 How much more fhall the blood of Chrift, who 
through the eternal Spirit offered himfelf without 
|j fpot to God, purge your confeience from dead works 
to ferve the living God ? 

15 And for this caufe he is the mediator of the 
new teftament, that by means of death, for the re- 
demption of the tranfgreffions that were under the firft 
teftament, they which are called might receive the 
promife of eternal inheritance. 

16 For where a teftament is, there muft alfo of 
necefiity || be the death of the teftator. 

17 For a teftament is of force after men are dead : 
otherwise it is of no ftrength at all while the teftator 
liveth. 

18 Whereupon neither the firft testament v^zs, || ded- 
icated without blood. 

19 For when Moles had fpoken every precept to 
all the people according to the law, he took the blood 
of calves, and cf goats, with water, and || fcarletwool, 
and hyffop, and fprinkled both the book and all the 
people, 

20 Saying, 'This is the blood of the teftament 
which God hath .enjoined unto you. 

21 Moreover, he fprinkled likewife with blood both 
the tabernacle, and all the veffels of the miniftry. 

22 Andalmoft all things are by the law purged with 
blood : and without fheclding of blood is no remiflion. 

23 It was therefore necelfary that the patterns of 
things in the heavens fhould be purified with thefe ; 
but. the heavenly things themfelves with better facri- 
fices than thefe. 

24 For Chrift is not entered into the holy places 
made with hands, which are the figures of the true ; 
but into heaven itfelf, now k to appear in the pretence 
of God for us : 

25 Nor yet that he fhould offer himfelf often, as 
the high prieft entereth into the holy place every year 
with blood of others ; 

26 (For then muft he often have fuffered fince the 
foundation of the world ;) but now once in the end of 
the world hath he appeared to put away fin by the iac- 
rifice of himfelf. 

27 And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but 
after this the judgment ; 

28 So ' Chrift was once offered to bear the fins of 
many ; and unto them that look for him ihall he ap- 
pear the fecoud time without fin unto falvation.

FOR the law having a fhadow of good things to 
come, and not the very image of the things, can 
never with thofe facrifices, winch they offered year by 
year continually, make the comers thereunto perfect: 

2 For then || would they not have ceafed to be of- 
fered ? becaufe that the worfhippers once purged, 
fhould have had no more confeience of fins. 

3 But in thofe sacrifices there is a remembrance 
again made of fins every year. 

4 For it is not poflible that the blood of bulls and 
of goats fhould take away fins. 

5 Wherefore, when he cometh into the world, he 
faith, a Sacrifice and offering thou wouldeft not, but 
a body || haft thou prepared me : 

6 In burnt offerings and sacrifices for fin thou haft 
had no pleafure : 

7 Then faid I, Lo, I come (in the volume of the 
book it is written of me) to do thy will, O God. 

8 Above, when he faid, Sacrifice, and offering, and 
burnt offerings, and offering for fin, thou wouldeft not, 
neither hadft pleafure therein; (which are offered by 
the law ;) 

9 Then faid he, Lo, I come to do thy will, O God. 
He taketh away the firft, that he may eftablifli the 
fecond. 

10 By the which will we are fanclified, through 
the offering of the body of Jefus Chrift once for all. 

11 And every prieft ftandeth daily miniftering, and 
offering oftentimes the fame facrifices, which can never 
take away fins : 

12 But this man, after he had offered one facrifice 
for fins, for ever fat down on the right hand of God ; 

13 From henceforth expecting b till his enemies be 
made his footftool. 

14 For by one offering he hath perfected for ever 
them that are fanclified ; 

15 Whereof the Holy Ghoft alfo is a witnefs to us : 
for after that he had faid before, 

16 This is the covenant that I will make with them, 
After thofe days faith the Lord, I will c put my laws 
into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them ; 

17 And their fins and iniquities will I remember 
no more. 

18 Now, where remiflion of thefe is, there is no 
more offering for fin. 

19 Having, therefore, brethren, || boldnefs to enter 
into the holieft by the blood of Jefus, 

20 By a new and living way, which he hath || confe- 
crated for us through the veil, that is to fay, his flefh ; 

2 1 And having an high prieft over the houfe of God, 

22 Let us draw near with a true heart, in full afliir- 
ance of faith, having our hearts fprinkled from an evil 
confeience, and our bodies warned with pure water. 

23 Let us hold fall the profeflion of our faith with- 
out wavering ; for he is faithful that promifed ; 

24 And let us conlider one another, to provoke 
unto love, and to good works : 

25 Not fbrfak ing the affembling of ourfelvcs togeth- 
er, as the manner of fome is; but exhorting one an- 
other : and fo much the more, as ye fee the day ap- 
proaching. 

26 For d if we fin wilfully after that we have re- 
ceived the knowledge of the truth, there remaineth 
no more facrifice for fins, 

27 But a certain fearful looking for of judgment and 
fiery indignation, which ihall devour the adv« rfaries.

CHAP. XI. 

The nature of faith, and its acceptableness with God, 
set forth in the examples of many excellent persons 
of old time. 

NOW faith is the H fubftance of things hoped for, 
the evidence of things net feen. 

2 For by it the elders obtained a good report. 

3 Through faith we underftand that a the worlds 
were framed by the word of God ; fo that things which 
are feen were not made of things which do appear. 

4 By faith, b Abel offered unto God a more excel- 
lent facrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witnefs 
that he was righteous, God teftifying of his gifts ; 
and by it he, being dead, || yet fpeaketh. 

5 By faith c Enoch was translated that he fhould 
not fee death ; and was not found," becaufe God had 
tranflated him : for before his tranflation he had this 
teftimony, that he pleafed God. 

6 But without faith it is impoffible to pleafe him : 
for he that cometh to God muft believe that he is, and 
that he is a rewarder cf them that diligently feek him. 

7 By faith d Noah, being warned of God of things 
not feen as yet, || moved with fear, prepared an ark 
to the faving of his houfe ; by the which he condemn- 
ed the world, and became heir of the righteoufhefs 
which is by faith. 

8 By faith e Abraham, when he was called to go 
out into a place which he fhould after receive for an 
inheritance, obeyed ; and he went out, not knowing 
whither he went.

An exhortatoin to patience and constancy. CHAP. 

fail me to tell of Gedeon, and c/"Barak, and o/Samfon, 
and of Jephthae ; of David alio, and Samuel, and of 
the prophets 1 

33 Who through faith fubdued kingdoms, wrought 
righteouihefs, obtained promifes, Hopped the mouths 
of lions, 

34 Quenched the violence of fire, efcaped the 
edge of the fword, out of weaknefs were made ftrong, 
waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of 
the aliens. 

35 Women received their dead raifed to life again : 
and others were * tortured, not accepting deliverance ; 
that they might obtain a better refurrection : _ 

36 And others had trial of cruel mockingsand 
fcourgings, yea, moreover, of bonds and imprifon- 

ment : «'«.'■, 

37 They were Honed, they were fawn afunder, were 
tempted, were flain with the fword : they wandered 
about in fheeplkins, and goatfkins, being deftitute, 
afflicted, tormented ; 

38 (Of whom the world was not worthy ;) they 
Meandered in deferts, and in mountains, and in dens 
and caves of the earth. 

59 And thefe all, having obtained a good report 
through faith, received not the promife : 

40 God having || provided fome better thing for us, 
that they without us fhouid not be made perfect 

CHAP. XII. 
1 An exhortation to patience and constancy , enforced by 
Christ'' s example. 14 Peace and holiness enjoined. 
HEREFORE, feeing we alio are compaffed 
about with fo great a cloud of witneffes, let us 
lay afide every weight, and the lin which doth fo ealily 
befet us, and let us run with patience the race that is 
fet before us, 

2 Looking unto Jefus the [| author and finifher of 
our faith ; who; for the joy that was fet before him, 
endured the crofs, defpiiing the {hame, and is fet down 
at the right hand of the throne of GocL 

3 For conlider him that endured fuch contradiction 
of finners againft himfelf, left ye be wearied and faint 
in your minds. 

4 Ye have not yet refilled unto blood, ftriving 
againft lin. 

5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation, which 
fpeaketh unto you as unto children, a My fon, deipife 
not thou the chaftening of the Lord, nor faint when 
thou art rebuked of him 5 

6 For b whom the Lord Joveth he chafteneth, and 
fcourgeth every fon whom he receiveth. 

7 If ye endure chaftening, God dealeth with 3-ou 
as with Ions ; for what fon is he whom the father 
chafteneth not ? 

8 But if ye be without chaftifement, whereof all are 
partakers, then are ye baftards, and not fons. 

9 Furthermore, we have had fathers of our flefh, 
which corrected us, and we gave them reverence : 
fhall we not much rather be in nibjcction unto the 
Father of fpirits, and live ? 

10 For they verily for a few days chaftened us after 
their own pleafure ; but he for our profit, that vjc 
might be partakers of his holinefs. 

11 Now, no chaftening for the prefent fcemeth to 
be joyous, but grievous : nevertneleis, afterward it 
yieldeth the peaceable fruit of rigliteoufnefs unto them 
which are exercifed thereby.

14 d Follow peace with all men, and holinefs, with- 
out which no man fhall fee the Lord : 

15 Looking diligently, left any man H fail of the 
grace of God ; left any root of bitternefs fpringing up, 
trouble you, and thereby many be defiled : 

16 Left there be any fornicator, or profane perfon, as 
Efau, e who for one morfel of meat fold his birthright. 

17 For ye know how that afterward, f when he

20 (For they could not endure that which was com-

21 And fo terrible was the fight, that Mofes faid, I

22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the

an innumerable company of angels, 

23 To the general affembly and church of the firft-

Judge of all, and to the fpirits of juft men made perfect, 

24 And to Jefus the Mediator of the new || cove- 
nant, and to k the blood of fprinkling, that fpeaketh 
better things than that of Abel. 

25 See that ye refufe not him that fpeaketh : for if 
they efcaped not who refufed him that {pake on earth, 
much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from 
him that speaketh from heaven ; 

26 Whofe voice then fhook the earth : but now he 

hath promifed, faying, * Yet once more I i hake not iHa K .»«. 
the earth only, but alio heaven. 

27 And this ivord, Yet once more, fignifieth the 
removing of thofe things that I! are lhaken, as of things 
that are made, that thofe things which cannot be lhaken 
may remain. 

28 Wherefore, we receiving a kingdom which can- 
not be moved, || let us have grace, whereby we may w or, ut„

The general Epistle of JAMES. 



CHAP. 1. 

The apostle- 's address to the dispersed Jews : 3 he 
recommendeth patience, 5 and prayer with faith. 
13 Our o%vn lusts, and not God, tempt us to sin. 17 
God is the unchangeable author of all good to his 
creatures. 1 9 The word must be received with purity 
and meekness, £sfc. 

JAMES, a fervant of God, and of the Lord Jefus 
Chrift, to the twelve tribes which are fcattered 
abroad, greeting. 

2 My brethren, count it all joy when ye fall into 
divers temptations ; 

3 a Knowing this, that the trying of j^our faith 
worketh patience. 

4 But let patience have her perfe£l work, that ye 
may be perfect and entire, wanting nothing. 

5 If any of you lack wifdom, b let him aik of God, 
that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not ; 
and it fhall be given him. 

6 But let him aik in faith, nothing wavering : for 
he that wavereth is like a wave of the fea driven with 
the wind, and toffed. 

7 Jf or let not that man think that he fhall receive any 
thing of the Lord. 

8 A double minded man is unftable in all his ways. 

9 Let the brother of low degree || rejoice in that he 
is exalted ; 

10 But the rich, in that he is made low : becaufe 
ttsaia>i4o6. c as t } ie flower of the grafs he fhall pafs away. 

1 1 For the fun is no fooner rifen with a burning 
heat, but it withereth the grafs, and the flower thereof 
falleth, and the grace of the fafhion of it perifheth : fo 
alfo fhall the rich man fade away in his ways.

12 d Bieffed is the man that endureth temptation : 
for when he is tried, he fhall receive the crown of life, 
which the Lord hath promifed to them that love him. 

13 Let no man fay when he is tempted, I am tempt- 
ed of God : for God cannot be tempted with || evil, 
neither tempteth he any man : 

14 But every man is tempted, when he is drawn 
away of his own luft and enticed. 

15 Then, when luft hath conceived, it bringeth forth 
fin ; and fin, when it is finiihecL bringeth forth death. 

16 Do not err, my beloved brethren. 

17 Every good gift, and every perfect gift, is from 
above, and cometh down from the Father of lights ; 
with whom is no variabienefs, neither fhadow of 
turning. 

18 Of his own will begat he us Avith the word of 
truth, that we fhould be a kind of firft fruits of his 
creatures. 

19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man 
be fwift to hear, e flow to fpeak, flow to wrath : 

20 For the wrath of man worketh not the right- 
eoufnefsof God. 

21 Wherefore lay apart all filthinefs, and fuperfluity 
of naughtinefs, and receive with meeknefs the engraft- 
ed word, which is able to lave your fouls : 

22 But f be ye doers of the word, and not hearers 
only, deceiving your own felves. 

23 For if any be a hearer. of the word, and not a 
doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural lace 
in a glafs : 

24 For he beholdeth himfelf, and goeth his way, and 
ftraightway forgetteth what manner of man he was.

C H A P. II. 
1 Christians are not to regard the rich and despise the 
poor. 10 The guilt of any one breach of the law. 13 
The obligation to mercy. 14 Faith without -works 
is dead. 20 Abraham and Rahab justified by works, 
and not by faith only. 

MY brethren, have not the faith of our Lord 
Jems Chrift, the Lord of glory, with a refpect 
of perfons. 

2 For if there come unto your f aflembly a man 
with a gold ring, in goodly apparei, and there come in 
alfo a poor man in vile raiment ; 

3 And ye have refpect to him that weareth the gay 
clothing, and fay unto him, Sit thou here || in a good 
place ; and fay to the poor, ftand. thou there, or fit 
here under my footftool ; 

4 Are ye not then partial in yourfelves, and are be- 
come judges of cvi! thoughts ? 

5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God 
chofen the poor of this world, rich in faith, and heirs 
of l| the kingdom which he hathpromiled to them that 
love him ? 

6 But ye have defpifed the poor. Do not rich men 
opprefsyou, and draw you before the judgment feats ? 

7 Do not they blafpheme that worthy name by the 
which ye are called I 

8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the fcrip- 
•ture, l> Thou ihalt love thy neighbour as thyfelf, ye 

do well : 

9 But if ye have refpect to perfons, ye commit fin, 
and are convinced of the law as tranfgreffors. 

10 For whofoever ihall keep the whole law, and 
yet oftend in one point, he is guilty of all. 

11 For || hethatfaid, Do not commit adultery, faid 
alfo, Do not kill. Now, if thou commit no adultery, 
yet if thou kill, thou art become a tranlgrcffor of the law. 

12 So fpeak ye, and fo do, as they that fhall be 
judged by the law of liberty. 

13 For he fhall have judgment without mercy that 
hath (hewed no mercy ; and mercy II rejoiceth againit 
judgment. 

14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man 
fay he hath faith, and have not works ? can faith fave 
him ? 

15 If a brother or fitter be naked, and deftitutc of 
daily food, 

16 And one of you fay unto them, Depart in peace, 
be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ^ yc give 
them not thofe things which are needful to the body, 
what doth it profit ? 

17 Even fo faith, if it hath not works, is dead, be- 
ing t alone. 

1 8 Yea, a man may fay, Thou haft faith v and I have 
works : (hew me thy faith || without thy works, and 
I will fhew thee my faith by my works.

2 1 Was not Abraham our father juftified by works, 
when he had offered Ifaac his fon upon the altar ? 

22 || Seeft thou how faith wrought with his works, 
and by works was faith made perfect ? 

23 And the fcripture was fulfilled, which faith, 

c Abraham believed God, audit was imputed unto cGen.155. 
him for rightcoufntfs : and he was called The friend Gaut. 4 3 5 <;. 
of God. 

24 Ye fee then how that by works a man is jufti- 
fied, and not by faith only. 

25 Likewife alfo, was not Rahab the harlot jufti- 
fied by works, when fhe had received the meffengers, 
and had fent them out another way ?

CHAP. III. 

1 We must not rashly take upon ourselves to reprove 
others. 2 The_ great importance, difficulty, arid 
duty in governing the tongue. 13 True wisdom will 
shew itself in meekness, peaceableness, and charity , 
in opposition to strife, £s?c. 

Y brethren, be not many mafters, knowing 
that we fhall receive the greater || condem- 
nation. 

2 For in many things we offend all. a If any man 
offend not in word, the fame is a perfect man, arid 
able aifo to bridle the whole body. 

3 Behold, we put bits in the horfes' mouths, that 
they may obey us ; and we turn about their whole body. 

4 Behold alio the fhips, which, though they be fo 
great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are they 
turned about with a very fmall helm, whitherfoever 
the governor litteth. 

5 Even fo the tongue is a little member, and boaft- 
eth great things. Behold, how great a || matter a little 
fire kindleth ! 

6 And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity : fo 
is the tongue among our members, that it defileth the 
whole body, and fettcth on fire the courfe of nature ; 
and it isfet on fire of hell. 

7 For every f kind of beads, and of birds, and of 
ferpents, and of things in the fea, is tamed, and hath 
been tamed of t mankind : 

8 But the tongue can no man tame ; it is an unruly 
evil, full of deadly poifon. 

9 Therewith blefs we God, even the Father ; and 
therewith curfe we men, which are made after the 
limilitude of God. 

10 Out of the fame mouth proceedeth bleffmg 
and curfing. My brethren, thele things ought not 
fo to be. 

11 Doth a fountain fend forth at the fame || place t <*''»'<• 
fweet vsater and bitter ? 

12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive ber- 
ries ? either a vine, figs ? fo canno fountain both yield 
filt water and frefh. 

13 Who is a wile man and endued with knowledge 
among you ? let him (hew, out of a good converfation, 
his works with mecknefs of wiidom.

7 How we may overcome them, and recover God's

13 We must not presume on the future, but commit 
ourselves to God's providence. 

FROM whence come wars and || fightings among 
you? come they not hence, even of your || lulls 
that war in your members ? 

2 Ye lull, and have not : ye kill, and defire to hare, 
and cannot obtain : ye fight and war, yet ye have not, 
becaufe ye alk not : 

3 Ye afk and receive not, becaufe ye alk amifs, that 
ye may confume it upon your || lulls. 

4 Ye adulterers and adultereifes, know ye not that 
the friendfhip of the world is enmity with God ? who- 
foever, therefore, will be a friend of the world is the 
enemy of God. 

5 Do ye think that the fcripture faith in vain, The 
Spirit that dwelleth in us luileth || to envy ? 

6 But he giveth more grace : wherefore he faith, 
a God refifteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the 
humble. 

7 Submit yourfelves, therefore, to God. b Refill the 
devil, and he will flee from you. 

8 Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. 
Cleanfe your hands, ye miners; and purify your hearts, 
ye double minded. 

9 Be afflifted, and mourn, and weep ; let your 
laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to 
heavinefs.

but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the

6 Ye have condemned and killed the juft ; and he 
doth not refill you. 

7 || Be patient, therefore, brethren, unto the coming 
of the Lord. _ Behold the hufbandman waiteth for the 
precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for 
it, until he receive the early and latter rain. 

8 Be ye alfo patient ; flabliih your hearts : for the 
coming of the Lord draweth nigh. 

9 || Grudge not one againd another, brethren, left 
ye be condemned : behold, the Judge ftandeth before 
the door. 

10 Take, my brethren, the prophets, who have 
fpoken in the name of the Lord, for an example of dif- 
fering affliction, and of patience. 

11 Behold, we count them happy which endure. 
Ye have heard of the patience of Job, and have feen 
the end of the Lord ; that the Lord is very pitiful, and 
of tender mercy. 

12 But above all things, my brethren, a fware not ; 
neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by 
any other oath : but let your yea, be yea ; and your 
nay, nay ; left ye fall into condemnation. 

13 Is any among you afflicted ? let him pray. Is 
any merry ? let him fmg pfalms. 

14 Is any fick among you ? let him call for the el- 
ders of the church ; and let them pray over him, 
b anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord ; 

15 And the prayer of faith ft all fave the fick, and 
the Lord fhall raife him up ; and if he have commit- 
ted fins they fhall be forgiven him. 

16 Confefs your faults one to another, and pray one 
for another, that 3^e may be healed. The effectual 
fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 

17 Eiias was a man fubjeel to like paflions as we 
are, and c he prayed || earneftly that it might not rain ; 
and it rained not on the earth by the fpace of three 
years and fix months. 

18 And d he prayed again, and the heaven gave 
rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit. 

19 Brethren, e if any of you do err from the truth, 
and one convert him ; 

20 Let him know, that he which converteth the 
fmner from the error of his way, fhall fave a foul from, 
death, and {hall hide a multitude of fins.

Chrift, which, according to his f abundant mercy y\ 
hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the refur- 
re£lion of Jefus Chrift from the dead, 

4 To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, 
and that fadeth not away, referved in heaven || for you, | 

5 Who are kept by the power of God through faith j 
unto faivation, ready to be revealed in the laft time : 

6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for a fea- j 
fon.Cif need be) ye are in heavinefs through manifold , 
temptations ; 

7 That the trial of your faith, being much more j 
precious than of gold that perifheth, though it be tried 1 
with fire, might be found unto praife, and honour, and 1 
glory, at the appearing of Jefus Chrift : 

8 Whom having not feen, ye love; in whom, 
though now ye fee him not, yet believing, ye rejoice 
with joy unfpeakable and full of glory : 

9 Receiving the end of your faith, even the faivation 
of your fouls. 

10 Of which faivation the prophets have inquired, 
and fearched diligently , whoprophefied of the grace 
that should come unto you : 

11 Searching what, or what manner of time, the 
Spirit of Chrift which was in them did fignify, when 
it teftificd beforehand the fufferings of Chrift, and the 
glory that iliould follow. 

12 Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto them- 
felves, but unto us, they did minifter the things which 
are now reported unto you by them that have preach- 
ed the gofpel unto you, with the Holy Ghoft fent down 
from heaven : which things the angels defire to look 
into. 

13 Wherefore gird up the loins of your mind, be

pure heart fervently :

the flower thereof fiftieth away :- 

25 But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. 
And this is the word which by the gofpel is preached 
unto you. * 

CHAP. II. 

1 Christians exhorted to lay aside all uncharitable* 
ness : 4 their privileges through Christ : 1 1 they 
must abstain from fleshly lusts. 13 Obedience to 
magistrates enjoined. 18 Servants to obey their mas- 
ters, 20 and to suffer patiently for well doing 
after Christ's example. 

WHEREFORE, laying afide all malice, and all 
guile, and hypocriiies, and envies, and all evil 
fpeakings, 

2 As newborn babes, defire the fincere milk of the 
word, that ye may grow- thereby ; 

3 If fo be ye have tailed that the Lord is gracious : 

4 To whom coming, as unto a living ftone, difallow- 
ed indeed of men, but chofen of God, and precious ; 

5 Ye alfo, as lively ftcnes, 11 are built up a fpiritual 
houfe, an holy priefthcod, to offer up fpiritual facri- 
fices, acceptable to Gcd by Jefus Chrift. 

6 Wherefore alfo it is contained in the fcripture, 
a Behold, I lay in Sicn a chief corner ftor.e, elecTt, 
precious ; and he that beiieveth on him, ihall not be 
confounded. 

7 Unto you, therefore, which believe, he is || prec- 
ious : but unto them which be difobedient, b the ftone 
which the builders difallowed, the fame is made the 
head of the corner,. 

8 c And a ftone of {tumbling, and a rock of offence, 
even to them which ft umble at the word, being difo- 
bedient, w hereunto alfo they were appointed. 

9 But ye are a chofen generation, d a royal prieft- 
hood, an holy nation, || a peculiar people ; that ye

15 For fo is the will of God, that with well doing 
ye may put to lilence the ignorance of foolilh men : 

16 As free, and not f ufmg your liberty for a cloak 
of malicioufnefs, but as the fervants of God. 

' 17 || Honour all men. Love the brotherhood. Fear 
God. Honour the king.

froward.

ence toward God endure grief, fuffering wrongfully. 

20 For what glory is it, if when ye be buffete d for 
your faults, ye fhall take it patiently ? But if, when 
ye do well, and fuffer for it, ye take it patiently ; this 
is || acceptable with God. 

21 For even hereunto were ye called ; becaufe 
Chrift alfo fuffered || for us, leaving us an example, 
that ye Ihould follow his Heps : 

22 1 Who did no fin, neither was guile found in his 
mouth : 

23 Who, when he was reviled, reviled not again ; 
.when he fuffered, he threatened not ; but |j committed 
■himself 'to him that judgeth righteoufly : 

24 m Who his own felf bare our fins in his own body 
||on the tree, that we, being dead to fins, fhouldlive 
unto righteoufnefs ; by whofe ilripes ye were healed. 

25 For ye were as fheep going aftray ; but are now 
returned unto the Shepherd and Bifhop of your fouls. 

CHAP. III. 

1 The apostle teacheth the duty of wives and husbands ; 
8 exhorting all men to unity and love ; 14 to suffer 
boldly for righteousness'' sake. 19 The preaching of 
Christ by his Spirit to the old world, &c. 

LIKEWISE. a ye wives, be in fubjeclion to }'our 
own hufbands ; that if any obey not the word, 
they alfo may without the word be won by the con- 
verfation of the wives ; 

2 W T hile they behold your chafte converfation 
coupled with fear : 

3 b Whofe adorning, let it not be. that outward 
adorning of plaiting the hair, and of 'wearing of gold, 
or of putting on of apparel ; 

4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that 
which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek 
and quiet fpirit, which is in the light of God of great 
price. 

5 For after this manner in the old time, the holy 
women alfo, who trufted in God, adorned themfelves, 
being in fubjeclion unto their own hulbands ;'/ 

6 Even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, c calling him 
lord : whofe f daughters ye are as long as ye do well, 
and are not afraid with any amazement. 

7 Likewife, ye hufbands, dwell with them accord- 
ing to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as 
unto the weaker veffel, and as being heirs together of 
the grace of life ; that your prayers be not hindered. 

8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having companion 
one of another : || love as brethren, be pitiful, Zv cour- 
teous ; 

9 d Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing; 
bu t contrariwife, blefliug : knowing that ye are there- 
unto called, that ye ihould inherit a bleffing. 

' 10 For e he that will love life, and fee good days, 



let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that 
they fpeak no guile : 

11 Let him f efchew evil, and do good j let him 
feek peace, and enfue it. 

12 For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, 
and his ears are open unto their prayers : but the face 
of the Lord is f againit them that do evil. 

13 And who is he that will harm you, if ye be fol- 
lowers of that which is good ? 

14 s But and if. ye fuffer for righteoufnefs' fake, 
happy are ye : and h be not afraid of their terror, nei- 
ther be troubled : 

15 But fanclify the Lord God in j r our hearts : and 
be ready always to give an anfwer to every man that 
aiketh you a reafon of the hope that is in you, with 
meeknefs and || fear : 

16 ' Having a good confeience : that, whereas they 
fpeak evil of you, as of evil doers, they may be aiham- 
ed that falfely accuie your good converfation in Chrift. 

17 For it is better, if the will of God be fo, that 
ye fuffer for well doing than for evil doing. 

18 For Chrift alfo hath k once fuffered for fins, the 
juft for the unjuft, that he might bring us to God, being- 
put to death in the fiefh, but quickened by the Spirit : 

19 By which alfo he went and preached untq the 
fpirits in prifon ; 

20 Which fometimewere difobedient, ! when once 
the long fuffering of God waited in the days of Npe, 
while the ark was a preparing, wherein few, that is* 
eight fouls, were laved by water. 

21 The like figure whereunto even baptifm doth 
alfo now fave us, (not the putting away of the filth 
of the fiefh, but the anfwer of a good confeience to- 
ward God,) by the refurreftion of Jefus Chrift : ' 

22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right 
hand of God ; angels, and authorities, and powers'," 
being made fubje£l unto him. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 The apostle exhorteth to cease from sin, in-r.eg.ard of 
Christ' 's having suffered for it, and under the view] 
of a future judgment. 7 From the approaching end 
of all things, he urgeth to sobriety, watchfulness, and 
other Christian duties. 

FORASMUCH then as Chrift hath fuffered for us 
in the fiefh, arm yourfelves likewife with the fame 
mind : for he that hath fuffered in the fiefh hath ceaf- 
ed from fin ; 

2 That he no longer flio uld live the reft of his time 
in the flefli, to the lulls of men, but to the will of God. 

3 For the time pall of our life may fuffice us to 
have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when we walk- 
ed in lacivioufnefs, lulls, excefs of wine, revellings, 
banquetings, and abominable idolatries : 

4 'Wherein they think it ftrange that ye run not with 
them to the fame excefs of riot, fpeaking evil of you ; 

5 Who fhall give account to him that is ready to 
judge the quick and the dead. 

6 For, for this caufe was the gofpel preached alfo 
to them that are dead, . that they might be judged ac- 
cording to men in the fiefh, but live according to God 
in the fpirit. 

7 But the end of all things is at hand : be ye there- 
fore fober, and watch unto prayer. 

8 And above all things have fervent charity among 
yourlelves : for a charity || fhall cover the multitude 
of fins.

(Thrift's fufferings ; that, when his glory lhall be re- 
vealed, ye may be glad alfo with exceeding joy. 

14 d If ye be reproached for the name of Chrift, 
happy are ije ; for the Spirit of glory and of God 
relteth upon you : on their part he is evil fpoken of; 
but on your part he is glorified. 

15 But let none of you fuffer as a murderer, or as 
a thief, or as an evil doer, or as a bufy body in other 
men's matters. 

16 Yet Many man suffer as a Chriftian, let him not

17 For the time is come that judgment mult begin at

The Second Epistle general of PETER. 



CHAP. I. 

The apostle sheweth the tendency of the gifts and 
promises of the gospel : 5 he exhorteth them to add 
to their faith such virtues as would make it fruitful, 
10 and thereby to make sure their calling and elec- 
tion /12 he is careful to remind them hereof, knowing 
bis dissolution to be near ; 16 and nrgeth the evi- 
dence of what he had seen andhcardin the holy mount 
in confirmation of Christ's second coming, fcfc . 

SIMON PETER, a fervant and anapoltle of Jefus 
Chrift, to them that have obtained like precious 
faith with «lis, through the righteoufnefs of God and 
our Saviour Jefus Chrift : 

2 Grace and peace be multiplied unto you through 
the knowledge of God and of Jefus our Lord, 

3 According as his divine power hath given unto us 
all things that pertain unto life and godlinefs, through 
the knowledge of him that hath called us || to glory and 
virtue : 

4 W r hereby are given unto us exceeding great and 
precious promifes ; that by thefe ye might be partak- 
ers of the divine nature, having efcaped the corrup- 
tion that is in the world through lull. 

5E 



5 And befide this, giving all diligence, add to your 
faith, virtue ; and to virtue, knowledge ; 

6 And to knowledge, temperance ; and to temper- 
ance, patience ; and to patience, godlinefs ; 

7 And to godlinefs, brotherly kindnefs ; and to 
brotherly kindnefs, charity. 

8 For if thefe things be in you, and abound, they 
make you, that yc shall neither be barren nor unfruit- 
ful in the knowledge of our Lord Jefus Chrift. 

9 But he that lacketh thefe things is blind, and 
cannot fee afar off, and hath forgotten that he was 
purged from his old (ins. 

10 Wherefore the rather, brethren, give diligence 
to make your calling and election lure ; for if ye do 
thefe things, ye lhall never fall : 

11 For fo an entrance lhall be miniftcred unto you 
abundantly into the everlalting kingdom of our Lord 
and Saviour Jefus Chrift. 

12 Wherefore I will not be negligent to put you 
always in remembrance of thefe things, though ye 
know them, and be cftablifhed in theprefent truth. 

13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as lam in this taber- 
nacle, to ftir you up, by putting you in remembrance ;

14 Knowing that fhortly I mail put off this my 
tabernacle, even as * our Lord Jefus Chrift hath 
fhewed me. 

15 Moreover, I will endeavour that ye may be 
able after my deceafc to have thefe things always in 
remembrance. 

16 For we have not followed b cunningly devifed 
fables, when we made known unto you the power 
and coming of our Lord Jefus Chrift, but were eye 
witneffes of his majefty. 

17 For he received from God the Father honour 
and glory, when there came fuch a voice to him from 
the excellent glory, c This is my beloved Son, in 
whom I am well pleafed. 

18 And this voice which came from heaven we 
heard, when we were with him in the holy mount. 

19 We have alfo a more fure word of prophecy ; 
whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a 
light thatfhinethin a dark place, until the day dawn, 
and the day liar arife in your hearts : 

20 Knowing this firft, that no prophecy of the 
fcripture is of any private interpretation. 

21 For d the prophecy came not II in old time by 
the will of man ; but holy men of God fpake as they 
were moved by the Holy Ghoft. 

CHAP. II. 
1 The apostle foretelleth the appearance of false teach- 
ers, the impiety of them and their followers, and the 
judgments that would overtake them. 7 The godly 
shall be delivered, as Lot was out of Sodom. 10 The 
ivicked principles and manners of these seducers de- 
scribed. 20 The great danger of relapsing into sin. 
BUT there were falfe prophets alfo among the peo- 
ple, even as there lliall be falfe teachers among 
you, who privily lliall bring in damnable herefies, 
even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring 
upon themfelves fwift deftruclion. 

2 And many lhall follow their I! pernicious ways ; 
by reafon of whom the way of truth lliall be evil fpok- 
en of. 

3 And through covetoufnefs, fhallthey with feigned 
words make merchandife of you : whofe judgment 
now of a long time lingereth not, and their damna- 
tion flumbereth not. 

4 For if God fpared not a the angels that finned, but 
caft them down to hell, and delivered them into chains 
of darknefs, to be referved unto judgment ; 

5 And fpared not the old world, but faved h Noah 
the eighth person, a preacher of righteoufnefs, bring- 
ing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly ; 

6 c And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha 
into alhes, condemned them with an overthrow, mak- 
ing them an enfample unto thofe that after fhould 
live ungodly ; 

7 And delivered juft Lot, vexed with the filthy 
converfation of the wicked j 

8 (For that righteous man dwelling among them, 
in feeing and hearing, vexed his righteous foul from 
day to day with their unlawful deeds : ) 

9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly out 
of temptations, and toreferve the unjuft unto the day 
of judgment to be punifhed ; 

10 But chiefly them that walk after the flefli in the 
luft of uncleannefs, and defpife || government. d Pre- 
sumptuous are they, ielf willed; they are not afraid to 
fpeak evil of dignities :

II. PETER. The certainty of Chris? scorning to judgment. 



11 Whereas angels, which are greater in power and 
might, bring not railing accufation ||. againft them be- 
fore the Lord. 

12 But thefe, as natural brute beafts, made to be 
taken and deilroyed, fpeak evil of the things that 
they underftand not, and fhall utterly perilh in their 
own corruption ; 

13 And lliall receive the reward of unrighteoufnefs, 
as they that count it pleaiure to riot in the day time. 
Spots they are and blemifhes, fporting themfelves 
with their own deceivings while they feaft with you ; 

14 Having eyes full of t adultery, and that cannot 
ceale from Tin ; beguiling unliable fouls : an heart 
they have exercifed with covetous practices ; curfed 
children : 

15 Which have forfaken the right way, and are 
gone aitray, following the way of e _Balaam the son of 
Boibr, who loved the wages of unrighteoufnefs ; 

16 But was rebuked for his iniquity : the dumb 
afs, fpeaking with man's voice, forbade the madnefs 
of the prophet. 

17 * Thefe are wells without water, clouds that are 
carried with a tempeft ; to whom the milt of darknefs 
is referved for ever. 

18 For when they fpeak great fwelling words of 
vanity, they allure through the luftsof the flefli, through 
much wantonnefs, thole that were || clean efcaped 
from them who live in error. 

19 Whiletheypromifethern liberty, they themfelves 
are s the fervants of corruption : for of whom a man 
is overcome, of the fame is he brought in bondage. 

20 For h if, after they have efcaped the pollutions 
of the world through the knowledge of the Lord and 
Saviour Jefus Chrift, they are again entangled there- 
in, and overcome, the latter end is worfe with them 
than the beginning. 

21 For it had been better for them not to have 
known the way of righteoufnefs, than, after they Have 
known it, to turn from the holy commandment de- 
livered unto them. 

22 But it is happened unto them according to the 
true proverb, * The dog is turned to his own vomit 
again ; and, the fow that was wafhed, to her wallow- 
ing in the mire. 

CHAP. III. 
1 The apostle declareth it to be the design of both his 
epistles to remind the brethren of Christ'' s coining to 
judgment in opposition to scoffers. 8 No argument 
can be drawn against it from the long patience of 
God, which is designed to leave men time for repent- 
ance. 10 He describeth the day of the Lord, andex- 
horteth to holiness of life in expectation of it. 15 He 
shevoe th that Paul had taught the like in his epistles ; 
17 and concludetb with advice to beware of seduction^ 
and to grow in Christian grace. 

THIS fecond epiftle, beloved, I now write unto 
you ; in both which I ftir up your pure minds by 
way of remembrance ; 

2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were 
fpoken before by the holy prophets, and of the com- 
mandment of us the apoftles of the Lord and Saviour : 

3 3 Knowing this firft, that there fhall come in the 
laft days fcoffers, walking after their own lulls, 

4 And faying, Where is the promiie of his coming ? 
for fince the fathers fell afleep, all things continue as 
they were from the beginning of the creation.

7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now,

things, be diligent that ye may be found of him in

CHAP, I. 

The apostle declareth what he had seen and known 
of the Word of life, to the end that others might have 
fellowship with him. 5 The substance of his doc- 
trine is, That to have fellowship with God we must 
fre holy ; and if we confess our sins, we shall be for- 
given through the blood of Christ. 

THAT which was from the beginning, which we 
have heard, which we have feen with our eyes, 
which we have looked upon, and our hands have han- 
dled, of the Word of life ; _ 

2 (For the life was manifefted, and we have feen it 
and bear witnefs, and fhew unto you that eternal Life 
which was with the Father, and was manifefted unto 
us 

3 That which we have feen and heard, declare wc 
unto you, that ye alfo may have fellowfhip with us : 
and truly our fellowfhip is with the Father, and with 
his Son Jefus Chrift. 

4 And thefe things write we unto you, that your 
joy may be full. 

5 This then is the meffage which we have heard of 
him, and declare unto you, that a God is light, and in 
him is no darknefs at all. 

6" If we fay that we have fellowfhip with him, and 
walk in darknefs, we lie, and do not the truth : 

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, 
we have ftllowlhip one with another ; and b the blood 
of Jefus Chrift his Son cleanfeth us from all I'm. 

8 c If we fay that we have no fin, we deceive our.- 
felves, and the truth is not in us. 

9 If we confefs our fins, he is faithful and juft to for- 
give us our fins, and to cleanfe us from all unrightcouf- 
nefs. 

10 If we fay that we have not finned, we make hi*^ 
a liar, and his word is not in us. 



CHAP. II. 

1 Christ our advocate with the Father, and a propiti- 
ation for the sins of the whole voorld. 3 Rightly to 
know God is to keep his commandments, 7 and espec- ' 
tally to love o?ie another: 15 he warneth against 
the love of this Ivor Id, 18 and against the multiplicity 
of seducers : 20 He shew eth the means of knowing 
the truth, and of distinguishing false teachers. 

MY little children, thefe things write I unto you, 
that ye fin not. And if any man fin, a we have aHcb ' 9 24 * 
an Advocate with the Father, Jems Chrift the right- 
eous : 

2 And he is the propitiation for our fins ; and not 
for ours only, but alfo for the sins tf/the whole world. 

3 And hereby we do know that wc know him, if 
we keep his commandments. 

4 He that faith, I know him, and kcepeth not his 
commandments, is a liar, and the truth is not in him. 

5 But whofo keepeth his word, in him verily is the 
love of God perfected : hereby know we that we are 
in him. 

6 He that faith, he abideth in him, ought himfelf 
alfo io to walk even as he walked. ■» 

7 Brethren, b I write no new commandment unto b; J nlin r - 
you, but an old commandment which ye had from 

tlie beginning. The old commandment is the word 
which ye have heard from the beginning. 

8 Again, a new commandment I write unto you, 
which thing is true in him, and in you ; becaufe the 
darknefs is paft, and the true light now jfhineth. 

9 He that faith, he is in the light, and hateth his 
brother, is in darknefs even until now. 

10 c Hethat loveth his brother abideth in the light, cci ia p. 3 , 4 
and there is none foccafion of ftumbling in him ;

How to distinguish false teachers* I. J O 

domini S'oeth, becaufe that darknefs hath blinded his eyes. 
y^S?^, 12 I write unto you, little children, becaufe your 
fins are forgiven you for his name's fake. 

13 1 write unto you , fathers , becaufe ye have known 
him that is from the beginning. I w r rite unto you, 
young men, becaufe ye have overcome the wicked 
one. I write unto you, little children, becaufe ye 
have known the Father. 

14 I have written unto you, fathers, becaufe ye 
have known him that is from the beginning. I have 
written unto you, young men» becaufe ye are ftrong, 
and the word of God abideth in you, and ye have 
overcome the wicked one. 

15 Love not the world, neither the things that are 
in the world. If any man love the world, the love of 
the Father is not in him. 

16 For all that is in the world, the luft of the flefh, 
and the luft of the eyes, and the pride of life, is not of 
the Father, but is of the world. 

17 And the world palfeth away, and the luft there- 
of: but he that doeth the will of God, abideth for 
ever. 

18 Little children, it is the laft time : and as ye 
have heard that antichrift ihall come, even now are 
there many antichrilts ; whereby we know that it is 
the laft time. 

19 They went out from us, but they were not of 
us ; for if they had been of us, they would no doubt 
have continued with us ; but they went out, that they 
might be made manifeft that they were not all of us. 

20 But ye have an unction from the Holy One, and 
ye know all things. 

211 have not written unto you, becaufe ye know 
not the truth ; but becaufe ye know it, and that no lie 
is of the truth. 

22 Who is a iiar, but he that denieth that Jefus is 
the Chrift ? He is antichrift that denieth the Father 
and the Son. 

23^ Whofoever denieth the Son, the fame hath not 
the Father : [but he that acknowledged the Son, hath 
the Father also.] 

24 Let that therefore abide in you which ye have 
heard from the beginning. If that which ye have 
heard from the beginning fliall remain in you, ye alfo 
fhall continue in the Son, and in the Father. 

25 And this is the promife that he hath promifed 
us, even eternal life. 

26 Thefe things have I written unto you concern- 
ing them that feduce you. 

^27 But the_ anointing, which ye have received of 
him, abideth in you ; and ye need not that any man 
teach you : butas the fame anointing teacheth you of 
all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it 

nor,;,-. hath taught you, ye ihall abide in || him. 

28 And now, little children, abide in him ; that, 
when he Ihall appear, we may have confidence, and 
not be afhamed before 'him at his coming. 

I or, i««w ye. 29 If ye know that he is righteous, || ye know that 
every one that doeth righteoufnefs is born of him. 

CHAP. III. 

1 He sheweth God's singular love toward us, in call- 
ing us now his sons, and designed for farther happi- 
ness hereafter, 3 and therefore we must obediently 
keep his commandments : 1 1 and love one another 
with true brotherly kindness, &c. 



a Isaiah 
53 6; &c- 



H N. Brotherly love enjoined^ £fft\ 

BEHOLD, what manner of love the Father hath 
bellowed upon us, that we fhould be called the 
ions of God ! therefore the world knoweth us not, be- 
caufe it knew him not. 

2 Beloved, now are we the fons of God ; and it 
doth not yet appear what we fliall be : but- we know 
that, when he fliall appear, we ihall be like him ; for 
we (hall fee him as he is. 

3 And every man that hath this hope in him puri- 
fieth himlelf, even as he is pure. 

4 Whofoever committeth fin tranfgreffeth alfo the 
law : for fin is the tranfgreifion of the law. 

5 And ye know that he was manifefted a to take 
away our iins ; and. in him is no fin. 

6 Whofoever abideth in him, finneth not : whofo- 
ever finneth, hath not feen him, neither known him. 

7 Little children, let no man deceive you ; he that 
doeth righteoufnefs is righteous, even as he is right- 
eous : 

8_ b He that committeth fin is of the devil ; for the L 
devil finneth from the beginning. For this purpofe 
the Son of God was manifefted, that he might deftroy 
the works of the devil. 

9 Whofoever is born of God doth not commit fin ; 
for his feed remaineth in him ; and he cannot fin, be- 
caufe he is born of God. 

10 In this the children of God are manifeft, and the 
children of the devil : whofoever doeth not righteouf- 
nefs is not of God, neither he that loveth not his 
brother. 

1 1 For this is the || meffage that ye heard from the 
beginning, c that we fhould love one another. 

12 Not as d Cain, who was of that wicked one, and 
flew his brother. And wherefore flew he him I Be- 
caufe his own Avorks were evil, and his brother's 
righteous. 

13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 

14 We know that we have palled from death unto 
life, becaufe we love the brethren. He that loveth 
not his brother abideth in death. 

15 Whofoever hateth his brother is a murderer : 
and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abid- 
ing in him. 

16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, becaufe he 
laid down his. life for us : and we ought to lay down 
our lives for the brethren. 

17 But e whofo hath this world's good, and feeth his 
brother have need,, and fhutteth up his bowels of com- 
passion from him , how dwelleth the love of God in him? 

18 My little children, let us not love in word, nei- 
ther in tongue ; but in deed, and in truth. 

19 And hereby Ave know that Ave are of the truth, 
and fhall t affure our hearts before him. 

20 For if our heart condemn us, God is greater 
than our heart, and knoweth all things. 

21 Beloved, if our heart condemn us not ; then 
have we confidence toward God. 

22 And f whatfoever we afk, we receive of him, 
becaufe we keep his commandments, and do thofe 
things that are pleating in his fight. 

23 And s this is his commandment, That we 
fhould believe on the name of his Son Jefus Chrift, 
and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 

24 And h he that keepeth his commandments dwell- h l^tst* 
eth in him, and he in him : and hereby we know that 

he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us.

obligation of mutual love. 

CHAP. IV. 

1 1 The apostle •ivametb to try by certain rules the spirits 
that pretend to come from God ; 7 hepresseth the ob- 
ligation of mutual love upon Christians from the ex- 
am pie and commandment of God. 
BELOVED, believe not every fpirit, but try the 
fpirits whether they are of God ; becaufe many 
falfe prophets are gone out into the world. 

2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God ; Every fpirit 
that confeffeth that Jefus Chrift is come in the flefh, 
is of God ; 

3 And every fpirit that confeffeth not that Jefus 
Chrift is come in the flefh, is not of God : and this 
is that spirit of antjchrilt, whereof ye have heard that 
it fhould come, and even now already is it in the 
world. 

4 Ye are of God, little children , and have over- 
come them ; becaufe greater is he that is in you, than 
he that is in the world. 

5 They are of the world ; therefore fpeak they of 
the world, and the world heareth them. 

6 We are of God ; a he that knoweth God heareth 
us; he that is not of God, heareth not us. Hereby 
know we the fpirit of truth and the fpirit of error. 

7 Beloved, let us love one another : for love is of 
God ; and every one that loveth is born of God, and 
knoweth God. 

8 He that loveth not, knoweth not God : for God 
is love. 

9 b In this was manifefted the love of God toward 
us, becaufe that God fent his only begotten Son into 
the world, that we might live through him. 

10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that 
he loved us, and fent his Son to be the propitiation for 
our fms. 

11 Beloved, if God fo loved us, we ought alfo to 
love one another. 

12 c No man hath feen God at any time. If we 
love one another, God dwelleth in us, and his love is 
perfected in us. 

13 Hereby know we that wc dwell in him, and he 
in us, becaufe he hath given us of his Spirit. 

14 And we have feen, and do teftify , that the Father 
fent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. 

15 Whofoever lhall confefs that Jefus is the Son of 
God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God. 

16 And we have known and believed the love that 
God hath to us. God is love ; and he that dwelleth in 
love, dwelleth in God, and God in him. 

17 Herein is t our love made perfect, that we may 
have boldnefs in the day of judgment ; becaufe as he 
is, fo are we in this world. 

18 There is no fear in love ; but perfect love cafteth 
out fear : becaufe fear hath torment. He that fearcth 
is not made perfect in love. 

19 We love him, becaufe he firft loved us. 

20 If a man fay, I love God, andhateth his brother, 
he is a liar ; for he that loveth not his brother whom 
he hath feen, how can he love God whom he hath not 
feen ? 

21 And d this commandment have we from him, 
That he who loveth God, love his brother alfo. 

CHAP. V. 
1 He that loveth God loveth God's children, and kecfj- 
cth his commandments. 4 A true faith ivill enable

faith. 18 God's children distinguished from the 
ivor Id by abstaining from sin. 21 A caution against 
idolatri/. 

WHOSOEVERbelieveth that Jefus is the Chrift, 
is born of God : and every one that loveth hiui 
that begat,_ loveth him alfo that is" begotten of him. 

2 By this we know that we love the children of 
God, when we love God, and keep his command- 
ments. 

3 For this is the love of God, that we keep his 
commandments : and a his commandments are not 
grievous. 

4 For whatfoever is born of God overcometh the 
world : and this is the victory that overcometh the 
world, even our faith. 

5 Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that 
believeth that Jefus is the Son of God ? 

6 This is he that came by water and blood, even 
Jefus Chrift ; not by water enly, but by water avid 
blood : and it is the Spirit that beareth witnefs, be- 
caufe the Spirit is truth. 

: 7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, 
the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghoft: and thefe 
three are one. 

8 And there are three that bear witnefs in earth, 
the fpirit, and the water, and the blood : and thefe 
three agree in one. 

9 If we receive the witnefs of men, the witnefs of 
God is greater : for this is the witnefs of God, which 
he hath teftified of his Son. 

10 He that believeth on the Son of God,, hath the 
witnefs in himfelf : he that believeth not God, hath 
made him a liar ; becaufe he believeth not the record 
that God gave of his Son. 

1 1 And this is the record, that God hath given to- 
us eternal life ; and this life is in his Son. 

12 He that hath the Son hath life ; and he that hath 
not the Son of God hath not life. 

13 Thefe things have I written unto you that be- 
lieve on the name of the Son of God ; that ye may 
know that ye have eternal life, and that ye may be- 
lieve on the name of the Son of God. 

14 And this is the confidence that we have || in 
him, that b if we afk any thing according to his will, 
he heareth us : 

15 And if we know that he hear us, whatfoever 
wc afk, we know that we have the petitions that we 
deliredof him. 

16 If any man fee his brother fin a fin which is not 
unto death, he fhall afk, and he fhall give him life for 
them that I'm not unto death. c There is a fin unto 
death : I do not fay that he fhall pray for it. 

17 All unrighteoufnefs is fin : and there is a fin not 
unto death. 

18 We know that whofoever is bom of God finncth 
not : but he that is begotten of God keepcth himfelf, 
and that wicked one touchcthh'im not. 

19 And wc know that we are of God, and the 
whole world lieth in wickednefs. 

20 And we know that the Son of God is come, and 
hath given us an underftanding, that we may know 
him that is true ; and we are in him that is true, even 
in his Son Jefus Chrift. This is the true God, and 
eternal life. 

21 Little children, keep yourfclvcs from idols. 
Amen.

fhall be with us for ever. 

3 Grace be with you, mercy and peace, from God 
the Father, and from the Lord Jems Chrifl, the Son 
of the Father, in truth and love. 

4 I rejoiced greatly that I found of thy children 
walking in truth, as we have received a command- 
ment from the Father. 

5 And now I befeech thee, lady, a not as though 
I wrote a new commandment unto thee, but that 
which we had from the beginning, that we love one 
another. 

6 And this is love, that we walk after his com- 
mandments. This is the commandment, That as ye 



have heard from the beginning, ye fliould walk 
in it. 

7 For many deceivers are entered into the world, 
who confefs not that Jefus Chrifl is come in the fiefh. 
This is a deceiver and an antichrift. 

8 Look to yourfelves, that we lofe not thofe things, 
which we |] have wrought, but that we receive a full 
reward. 

9 Whofoever tranfgreffeth, and abideth not in the 
doctrine of Chrifl, hath not God : he that abideth in 
the doctrine of Chrift, he hath both the Father and 
the Son. 

10 If there come any unto you, and bring not this 
doctrine, receive him not into^ozzr houfe, neither bid 
him God fpeed : 

11 For he that biddeth him God fpeed, is partaker 
of his evil deeds. 

12 Having many things to write unto you, I would 
not write with paper and ink : but I trull to come 
unto you, and fpeak t face to face, that || our joy may 
be full. 

13 The children of thy elect filler greet thee. Amen.

The Third Epistle of J O H N. 




1 The apostle' 's salutation to Gains : 5 he commendeth 
his hospitality to true preachers : 9 he censureth 
Diotrephes, 1 1 whose example is not to be followed: 
12 he bearcth testimony to the good character of 
Demetrius, 

THE elder unto the well beloved Gaius, whom 
I love || in the truth. 

2 Beloved : I II wifh above all things that thou may- 
ell profper and be in health, even as thy foul profpereth. 

3 For I rejoiced greatly when the brethren came, 
and teflified of the truth that is in thee, even as thou 
walkell in the truth. 

4 I have no greater joy than to hear that my chil- 
dren walk in truth. 

5 Beloved, thou doell faithfully whatfoever thou 
doeft to the brethren, and to llrangers ; 

6 Which have borne witnefs of thy charity before 
the church ; whom if thou bring forward on their 
journey after a godly fort, thou fnalt do well : 

7 Becaufe that for his name's fake they went forth, 
taking nothing of the Gentiles. 



8 We, therefore, ought to receive fuch, that we 
might be fellow helpers to the truth. 

9 I wrote unto the church : but Diotrephes, who 
loveth to have the preeminence among them, receiv- 
eth us not. 

10 Wherefore, if I come, I will remember his deeds 
which he doeth, prating againfl us with malicious 
words, and not content therewith ; neither doth he 
himfelf receive the brethren, and forbiddeth them 
that would, and cafleth themout of the church. 

1 1 Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that 
which is good. He that doeth good is of God ; but he 
that doeth evil hath not feen God. 

12 Demetrius hath good report of all men, and of 
the truth itfelf ; yea, and we also bear record ; and ye 
know that our record is true. 

13 I had many things to write, but I will not with 
ink and pen write unto thee : 

14 But I trull I fhall fhorfly fee thee, and we fhall 
fpeak f face to face. Peace be to thee. Our friends 
falute thee. Greet the friends by name.

The general Epistle of JUDE, 



1 Jude, after a general address, exhorteth Christians 
to constancy in the received faith : 4 he foretelleth 
the punishment of certain false teachers crept into 
the church, and describcth their evil doctrine and 
manners : 20 he exhorteth true Christians to per- 
severe in the right faith, and in the love of God : 22 
and to seek the reformation of others : 24 he con- 
cmdeth with ascribing glory to God. 

JUDE, the fervant of Jefus Chrifl, and brother of 
James, to them that are fanctified by God the 
Father, and preferved in Jefus Chrifl, and called ; 
2 Mercy unto you, and peace, and love, be multi- 
plied. 



3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto 
you of the common falvation, it was needful for me 
to write unto you, and exhort you, that ye fliould 
earneflly contend for the faith which was once deliv- 
ered unto the faints. 

4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, who 
were before of old ordained to this condemnation, 
ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into 
lafcivioufnefs, and denying the only Lord God, and 
our Lord Jefus Chrifl. 

5 I will therefore put you in remembrance, though 
ye once knew this, how that the Lord, having faved

6 And the angels which kept not their || firft eftate, 
but left their own habitation, b he hath referved in 
everlafting chains under darknefs, unto the judgment 
of the great day. 

7 Even as c Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities 
about them, in like manner giving themielves over to 
fornication, and going after \ ftrange flelh, are fet forth 
for an example, fuffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 

8 d Like wife alio thefe filthy dreamers defile the 
fleih, defpife dominion, and fpeak evil of dignities. 

9 Yet Michael the archangel, when contending 
with the devil, (he difputed about the body of Mofes,) 
durit not bring againit him a railing accufation, but 
faid, e The Lord rebuke thee.

1 1 Woe unto them ! for they have gone in the way 
of Cain, and f ran greedily after the error of Balaam 
for reward, and periihed in the gainfaying of Core. 

12 Thefe are fpotsin your feafts of charity, when 
they feaft with you , feeding themfelves without fear : 
s clouds they are without w _ ater, carried about of 
winds ; trees vvhofe fruit withereth, without fruit, 
twice dead, plucked up by the roots ; 

13 Raging waves of the fea, foaming out their own 
ihame ; wandering ilars, to whom is referved the 
blacknefs of darknefs for ever. 

14 And Enoch alfo, the feventh from Adam, proph- 
efied of thefe, faying, Behold, the Lord cometh with 
ten thoufand of his faints, 



15 To execute judgment upon all, and to convince 
all that are ungodly among them of all their ungodly 
deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of ail 
their hard speeches which ungodly fmners have fpoken 
againft him. 

16 Thefe are murmurers, complainers, walking 
after their own lulls ; and their mouth fpeaketh great 
fwelling words, having men's perfons in admiration 
becaufe of advantage. 

17 But, beloved, remember ye the words which 
were fpoken before of the apoitles of our Lord Jefus 
Chrift ; 

18 How that they told you h there fhould be mock- 
ers in the lail time, who Ihould walk after their own 
ungodly lulls.

20 But ye, beloved, building up yourfelves on your 
moil holy faith, praying in the Holy Ghoil, 

21 Keep yourfelves in the love of God, looking for 
the mercy of our Lord Jefus Chrift unto eternal life. 

22 And of fome have compaflion, making a dif- 
ference : 

23 And others fave with fear, pulling them out 
of the fire ; hating even the garment fpotted by the 
fleih. 

24 Now unto him that is able to keep you from 
falling, and to prefent you faultleis before the prefence 
of his glory with exceeding joy, 

25 To the only wife God our Saviour, be glory and

What John was commanded to write hi commendation 
or reproof to the angels of the churches of 1 Ephcsus, 
8 Smyrna, 12 Pergamos, 18 Thyatira; and what 
is commended, or found wanting in them. 

UNTO the angel of the church of Ephefus write ; 
Thefe things faith he that holdeth the feven ftars 
in his right hand, who walketh in the midft of the 
feven golden candleilicks ; 

2 I know thy works, and thy labour, and thy pa- 
tience, and how thou canft not bear them which are 
evil ; and thou haft tried them which fay they are 
.apoftles., and are not, and haft found them liars : 

3 And haft borne, and haft patience, and for my 
name's fake haft laboured, and haft not fainted. 

4 Neverthelei's, I have somewhat againft thee, be- 
caufe thou haft left thy firft love. 

5 Remember, therefore, from whence thou art 
fallen, and repent, and do the firft works : or elfe 
I will come unto thee quickly, and will remove thy 
candieftick out of his place, except thou repent. 

6 But this thou haft, that thou hateft the deeds of 
the Nicolaitanes, which I alfo hate. 

7 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit 
faith unto the churches ; To him that overcometh 
will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the 
midft of the paradife of God. 

8 And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna 
write ; Thefe things faith the firft and the laft, which 
was dead, and is alive ; 

9 I know thy works,- and tribulation, and poverty, 
(but thou art rich,) and I know the blafphemy of them 
which fay they are Jews, and are not, but are the iyn- 
agogue of Satan. 

10 Fear none of thofe things which thou fhalt fuf- 
fer : behold, the devil fhall caft some of you into prif- 
on, that ye may be tried ; and ye fhall have tribula- 
tion ten days. Be thou faithful unto death, and I will 
give thee a crown of life. 

11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit 
faith unto the churches ; He that overcometh lhall 
not be hurt of the fecond death. 

12 And to the angel of the church in Pergamos 
write ; Thefe things faith he which hath the fliarp 
fword with two edges ; 

13 I know thy works, and where thou dwelleft, 
even where Satan's feat is ; and thou holdeft fail my 



name, and haft not denied my faith, even in thofe 
days wherein Antipas was my faithful martyr, who 
was flain among you, where Satan dwelleth. 

14 But I have a few things againft thee, becaufe 
thou haft there them that hold the doclrine of a Ba- 
laam, who taught Balac to caft a ftumbling block be- 
fore the children of Ifrael, to eat things facrificed un- 
to idols, and to commit fornication. 

15 So haft thou alfo them that hold the doclrine of 
the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. 

16 Repent ; or elfe I will come unto thee quickly, and 
will fight againft them with the fword of my mouth. 

17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit 
faith unto the churches ; To him that overcometh 
will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give 
him a white ftone, and in the ftone a new name written, 
which no man knoweth, faving he that receiveth it. 

18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira 
write ; Thefe things faith the Son of God, who hath 
his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like 
fine brafs ; 

19 I know thy works, and charity, and fervice, 
and faith, and thy patience, and thy works : and the 
laft to be more than the firft. 

20 Notwithstanding, I have a few things againft 
thee, becaufe thou fuffereft tiiat women b Jezebel, 
which ealleth herfelf a propbetefs, to teach and to 
feduce my fervants to commit fornication, and to eat 
things facrificed unto idols. 

p 21 And I gave her fpace to repent of her fornica- 
tion ; and fhe repented not. 

22 Behold, I will caft her into a bed, and them that 
commit adultery with her into great tribulation, ex- 
cept they repent of their deeds. 

23 And I will kill her children with death ; and 
all the churches fhall know diat c I am he which 
fearcheth the reins and hearts : and I will give unto 
every one of you according to your works. 

_ 24 But unto you I fay, and unto the reft in Thya- 
tira, (as many as have not this doclrine, and which 
have not known the depths of Satan, as they fpeak,) 
I will put upon you none other burden ; 

25 But that which ye have already, hold faft till 
I come. 

26 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works 
unto the end, to him will I give power over the na- 
tions : 

27 ( d And he fliall rule them with a rod of iron ; 
as the veffels of a potter ihall they be broken to fhiv- 
ers ;) even as I received of my Father. 

28 And I will give him the morning Mar. 

29 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spir-

have not defiled their garments ; and they fhall walk

5 He that overcometh, the fame lhall be clothed in

6 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit

7 And to the angel of the church in Philadelphia 
write ; Thefe things faith he that is holy, he that is 
true, he that hath c the key of David, he that openeth 
and no man fhutteth ; and fhutteth, and no man 
openeth ; 

8 I know thy works : behold, I have fet before 
thee an open door, and no man can fhut it ; for thou 
haft a little ftrength, and haft kept my word, and haft 
not denied my name. 

9 Behold, I will make them of the fynagogue of 
Satan, which fay they are Jews, and are not, but do 
lie, behold, I will make them to come and worfhip 
before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee. 

10 Becaufe thou haft kept the word of my patience, 
I alfo will keep thee from the hour of temptation, 
which fhall come upon all the world, to try them 
that dwell upon the earth. 

11 Behold, I come quickly : hold that fall which 
thou haft, that no man take thy crown. 

12 Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the 
temple of my God, and he fhall go no more out : and 
I will write upon him the name of my God, and the 
name of the city of my God, which is new Jerufalem, 
which cometh down out of heaven from my God : 
and / will write upon him my new name.

15 I know thy works, that thou art neither cold

16 So then, becaufe thou art lukewarm, and nei-

17 Becaufe thou fay eft, I am rich, and increaied

and worship offered before him that sat on the throne. 

AFTER this I looked, and behold, a door was 
opened in heaven : and the flrft voice which I 
heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me ; 
which faid, Come up hither, and I will lliew thg; 
things which muft be hereafter. 

2 And immediately I was in the fpirit : and behold, 
a throne was fet in heaven, and one fat on the throne. 

3 And he that fat was to look upon like a jafper 
and a fardine ftone : and there was a rainbow round 
about the throne, in fight like unto an emerald. 

4 And round about the throne were four and twenty 
feats : and upon the feats I faw four and twenty elders 
fitting, clothed in white raiment ; and they had on 
their heads crowns of gold. 

5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings, and 
thunelerings, and voices : and there were (even lamps 
of fire burning before the throne, which are the feven 
Spirits of God. 

6 And before the throne there was a fea of glafs 
like unto cryftal; and in the midft of the throne, and 
round about the throne, were four beafls full of eyes 
before and behind. 

7 And the firftbeaft was like a lion, and the fecond 
beaft like a calf, and the third beaft had a face as a 
man, and the fourth beaft was like a flying eagle. 

8 And the four beafls had each of them fix wings 
about him, and they were full of eyes within ; and 
f they reft not day and night, faying, a Holy, holv, 
holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and "is 
to come. 

9 And when thofe beafts give glory, and honour, 
and thanks, to him that fat on the throne, who liveth 
for ewer and ever, 

10 The four and twenty elders faft down before 
him that fat on the throne, and worfhip him that liv- 
eth for ever and ever, and caft their crowns before the 
throne, faying,

and of the four beafts, and in the midft of the elders, 
flood a Lamb, as it had beenflain, having feven horns 
and feven eyes, which are the feven fpirits of God 
fent forth into, all the earth. 

7 And he came, and took the book out of the right 
hand of him that fat upon the throne. 

8 And, when he had taken the book, the four 
beads and four and twenty elders fell down before 
the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden 
vials full of || odours, which are the prayers of faints. 

9 And they fung a new fong, laying, Thou art 
worthy to take the book, and to open the feals there- 
of : for thou waft flam, and haft redeemed us to God 
by thy blood, out of every kindred, and tongue, and 
people, and nation ; 

10 b And haft made us unto our God kings and 
priefts : and we fhall reign on the earth. 

11 And I beheld, and I heard the voice of many 
angels round about the throne, and the beafts, and 
the elders : and the number of them was c ten thou- 
sand times ten thoufand, and thoufandsof thoufands ; 

12 Sayingwith aloud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that 
was flain, to receive power, and riches, and wifdom, 
and ftrength, and honour, and glory ,_ and bleffing. 

13 And every creature which is in heaven, and on 
the earth, and under the earth, and fuch as are in 
the fea, and all that are in them, heard I, laying, 
Bleffrng, and honour, and glory, and power, be unto 
him that fitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb 
for ever and ever. 

14 And the four beafts faid, Amen. And the four 
and twenty elders fell down and worfhipped him that 
liveth for ever and ever. 

CHAP. VI. 
The opening of the seals, and what followed thereupon. 

AN D I faw when the Lamb opened one of the 
feals ; and I heard, as it were the noife of thun- 
der, one of the four beafts faying, Come and fee. 

2 And I faw, and behold, a white horfe : and he that 
fat on him had a bow ; and a crown was given unto 
him : and he went forth conquering, and to conquer. 

3 And when he had opened the lecond feal, I heard 
the fecond beaft fay, Come and fee. 

4 And there went out another horfe that was red ; 
and power was given to him that fat thereon to take 
peace from the earth, and that they ihould kill one 
another ; and there was given unto him a great fword. 

5 And when he had opened the third feal, I heard 
.the third beaft fay, Come and fee. And I beheld, 

and lo, a black horfe ; and he that fat on him had a 
pair of balances in his hand. 

6 And I heard a voice in the midft of the four 
cwHig- beafts fay, * A meafure of wheat for a penny, and

with hunger, and with death, and with the beafts of 
the earth. 

9 And when he had opened the fifth feal, I faw un- 
der the altar, the fouls of them that were llain for the 
word of God, and for the teftimony which they held : 

10 And they cried with a loud voice, faying, How 
long, OLord, holy and true, doftthou not judge and 
avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth ? 

1 1 And white robes were given unto every one of 
them ; and it was faid unto them, that they ihould 
reft yet for a little feafon, until their fellow fervants- 
alio, and their brethren, that fliould be killed as they 
were, fliould be fulfilled. 

12 And I beheld, when he had opened the fixth 
feal, and lo, there was a great earthquake ; and the 
fun became black as fackcloth of hair, and the moon 
became as blood ; 

13 And the ftars of heaven fell unto the earth, even 
as a fig tree cafteth her || untimely figs, when fhe is 
fhaken of a mighty wind : 

14 a And the heaven departed as a fcroll when it is 
rolled together ; and every mountain and ifland were 
moved out of their places ; 

15 And the kings of the earth, and the great men, 
and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the 
mighty men, and every bondman, and every free- 
man, b hid themfelves in the dens, and in the rocks of 
the mountains ; 

16 c And faid to the mountains and rocks, Fall on 
us, and hide us from the face of him that fitteth on 
the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb : 

17 For the great day of his wrath is come ; and 
who fball be able to ftand ? 

CHAP. VII. 

1 John sceth four angels holding the four winds ; 2 and 
another angel coming to seal the servants of God in 
their foreheads. 4 The number of them that were 
sealed out of each of the tribes of Israel. 9 An in- 
numerable multitude out of all nations stand before 
the throne in white robes, with palms in their hands. 
13 Who they are who are clothed in white robes, 
and what is their blessedness for ever- 

AN D after thefe things I faw four angels Handing 
on the four corners of the earth, holding the 
four winds of the earth, that the winds fliould not 
blow on the earth, nor on the fea, nor on any tree. 

2 And I faw another angel afcending from the eaft, 
having the feal of the living God : and he cried with 
a loud voice to the four angels to whom it was given 
to hurt the earth and the fea, 

3 Saying, Hurt not the earth, neither the fea, nor 
the trees, till we have a fealed the fervants of our I 
God m their foreheads. 

4 And I heard the number of them which were 
fealed : and there were fealed an hundred and forty 
and four thoufand of all the tribes of the children of 
Ifrael. 

5 Of the tribe of Judah were fealed twelve thoufand. 
Of the tribe of Reuben were fealed twelve thoufand. 
Of the tribe of Gad were fealed twelve thoufand.

9 After this I beheld, and, lo, a great multitude, 
which no man could number, of ail nations, and 
kindreds, and people, and tongues, flood before the 
throne, and before the Lamb, clothed with white 
robes, and palms in their hands ; 

10 And cried with a loud voice, faying, Salvation 
to our God which iitteth upon the throne, and unto 
the Lamb. 

1 1 And all the angels ftood round about the throne, 
and about the elders and the four beafts, and fell be- 
fore the throne on their faces, and vorfhipped God, 

12 Saying, Amen : Blefling, and glory, and wifdom, 
and thankfgiving, and honour, and power, and might, 
be unto our Gofl for ever and ever. Amen. 

13 And one of the elders anfwered, faying unto me, 
What are thefe which are arrayed in white robes? 
and whence came they ? 

14 And I faid unto him, Sir, thou knoweft. And 
he faid unto me, Thefe are they which came out of 
great tribulat'on, and have waihed their robes, and 
made them white in the blood of the Lamb. 

15 Therefore are they before the throne of God, 
and ferve him day and night in his temple : and he 
that Iitteth on the throne mail b dwell among them. 

16 c They fhall hunger no more, neither third any 
more ; neither mall the fun light on them, nor any heat : 

17 For the Lamb, which is in the midft of the 
throne, lhall feed them, and ihall lead them unto living 
fountains of waters, d and God fhall wipe away all 
tears from their eves. 

CHAP. VIII. 
1 The seventh seal opened. 2 Seven angels receive 
seven trumpets. 3 An angel presenteth the prayers 
of the. saints with incense on the golden altar before 
the throne. 6 Four of the angels sound their trum- 
pets, and great plagues severally follow. 

ND when he had opened the feventh leal, there was 
lilence in heaven about the fpace of half an hour. 

2 And I faw the feven angels which flood before 
God ; and to them were given feven trumpets. 

3 And another angel came and ftood at the altar, 
having a golden cenfer ; and there was given unto 
him much incenfe, that he ihould || offer it with the 
prayers of all faints upon the golden altar which was 
before the throne. 

4 And the fmoke of the incenfe which came with 
the prayers of the faints, afcended up before God, out 
of die angel's hand. 

5 And the angel took the cenfer, and filled it with 
fire of the altar, and caft it into the earth : and there 
were voices, and thunderings, and lightnings, and an 
earthquake. 

6 And the feven angels, which had the feven trum- 
pets, prepared themfelves to found. 

7 The firft angel founded, and there followed hail, 
and fire mingled with blood, and they were caft upon 
the earth : and the third part of trees was burnt up, 
and all green grafs was burnt up. 

8 And the fecond angel founded, and as it were a 
great mountain burning with fire was caft into the 
lea; and the third part of the fea became blood :

9 And the third part of the creatures which were 
in the_ fea, and had life, died ; and the third part of w 
the mips were deftroyed. 

10 And the third' angel founded, and there fell a 
great ftar from heaven, burning as it were a lamp, and 
it fell upon the third part of the rivers, and upon the 
fountains of waters ; 

11 And the name of the ftar is called Wormwood : 
and the third part of the waters became wormwood ; 
and many men died of the waters, becaufe they were 
made bitter. 

12 And the fourth angel founded, and the third 
part of the fun was fmitten, and the third part of the 
moon, and the third part of the liars ; fo as the thi; d 
part of them was darkened, and the day fhone net 
for a third part of it, and the night likewife. 

13 And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through 
the midll of heaven, faying with a loud voice, Woe, 
woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth, by reafon of 
the^ other voices of the trumpet of the three angels 
which are yet to found ! 

CHAP. IX. 
1 At the sounding of the fifth angel, a star falleth from 
heaven, to whom is given the key of the bottomless 
pit : 2 he openeth the pit, and there come forth locusts 
like scorpions. 12 The first woe past. 13 The sixth 
trumpet sounded, and four atigels are let loose which 
were bound. 
ND the fifth angel founded, and I faw a ftar fall 
from heaven unto the earth ; and to him was 
given the key of the bottomlefs pit. 

2 And he opened the bottomlefs pit ; and their 
arofe a fmoke out of the pit, as the fmoke of a great 
furnace ; and the fun and the air were darkened by 
reafon of the fmoke of the pit. 

3 And there came out of the fmoke locufts upon 
the earth ; and unto them was given power, as the 
fcorpions of the earth have power. 

4 And it was commanded them that they fhould 
not hurt the grafs of the earth, neither any green thing, 
neither any tree ; but only thofe men which have 
not the feal of God in their foreheads. 

5 And to them it was given that they fhould not 
kill them, but that they Ihould be tormented five 
months : and their torment was as the torment of a 
fcorpion, when he ftriketh a man. 

6 And in thofe days a ihall men feek death, and ;*£•* 
fhall not find it; and ihall defire to die, and death e-- 
mail flee from them. 

7 And the fhapes of the locufts were like unto 
horfes prepared unto battle ; and ontheir heads were 
as it were crowns like gold, and their faces were as 
the faces of men. 

8 And they had hair as the hair of women, and 
their teeth were as the teeth of lions. 

9 And they had breallplates as it were brcafl- 
plates of iron ; and the found of their wings was 
as the found of chariots of many horfes running to 
battle. 

10 And they had tails like unto fcorpions ; and 
there were flings in their tails : and their power was 
to hurt men five months. 

11 And they had a king over them, which is the 
angel of the bottomlefs pit, whole name in the He- 
! >rew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath 
his name l| Apollyon. _

12 One woe is paft ; and, behold, there come two

13 And the fixth angel founded, and I heard a 
voice from the four horns of the golden altar which 
is before God. 

14 Saying to the fixth angel which had the trum- 
pet, Loofe the four angels which are bound in the 
great river Euphrates. 

15 And the four angels were loofed, which were 
prepared |] for an hour, and a day, and a month, and a 
year, for to flay the third part of men. 

> 16 And the number of the army of the horfemen 
were two hundred thoufand thoufand : and I heard 
the number of them. 

17 And thus I faw thehorfes in the vifion, and 
them that fat on them, having breaftplates of fire, 
and of jacinth and brimftone : and the heads of the 
horfes were as the heads of lions ; and out of their 
mouths iffued fire, and fmoke, and brimftone. 

18 By thefe three was the third part of men killed, 
by the fire, and by the fmoke, and by the brimftone, 
which iffued out of their mouths. 

19 For their power is in their mouth, and in their 
tails : for their tails were like unto ferpents, and had 
heads, and with them they do hurt. 

20 And the reft of the men which were not killed 
by thefe plagues, yet repented not of the works of 
their hands, that they fhould not worffiip devils, 
b and idols of gold, and filver, and brafs, and ftone, 
and of wood ; which neither can fee, nor hear, nor 
walk : 

21 Neither repented they of their murders, nor of 
their forceries, nor of their fornication, nor of their 
thefts.

.1 A mighty strong angel appearetb ivithabook open in 
his hand, 5 and swear eth by him that Ihethfor ever, 
that there shall be no more time. 8 John is com- 
manded to take and eat the book, and to prophesy. 
ND I faw another mighty angel come down from 
heaven, clothed with a cloud, and a rainbow 
was upon his head, and his face was as it were the 
fun, and his feet as pillars of fire : 

2 And he had in his hand a little book open : and 
he fet his right foot upon the fea, and his left foot on 
the earth, 

3 And cried with a loud voice, as when a lion roar- 
eth : and when he had cried, feven thunders uttered 
their voices. 

4 And when the feven thunders had uttered their 
voices, I was about to write : and I heard a voice from 
heaven, faying unto me, Seal up thofe things which 
the feven thunders uttered, and write them not. 

5 And the angel, which I faw ftand upon the fea 
and upon the earth, a lifted up his hand to heaven, 

6 And fware by him that liveth for ever and ever, 
who created heaven, and the things that therein are, 
and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the 
fea, and the things which are therein, that there 
iiiould be time no longer : 

7 But in the days of the voice of the feventh angel, 
when he fhall begin to found, the myftery of God 
fhould be finifhecl, as he hath declared to his fervants 
the prophets.

it, and eat it up ; and it fhall make thy belly bitter, 
but it fhall be in thy mouth fweet as honey. 

10 And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, 
and ate it up ; and it was in my mouth fweet as honey : 
and as foon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.

14 The second woe past. 15 The seventh trumpet 
soundeth. 
N D there was given me a reed like unto a rod : 
and the angel flood, faying, Rife, and meafure 
the temple of God, and the altar, and them that wor- 
f hip therein. 

2 But the court which is without the temple f leave 
out, and meafure it not ; for it is given unto the 
Gentiles : and the holy city fhall they tread under 
foot forty and two months. 

3 And || I will give power unto my two. witneffes, 
and they fhall prophefy a thoufand two hundred and 
threefcore days, clothed in fackcloth. 

4 Thefe are the a two olive trees, and the two 
candleflicks Handing before the God of the earth. 

5 And if any man will hurt them, fire proceedeth 
out of their mouth, and devoureth their enemies : and 
if any man will hurt them, he muft in this manner be 
killed. 

6 Thefe have power to fhut heaven, that it rain not 
in the days of their prophecy ; and have power over 
waters to turn them to blood, and to finite the earth 
with all plagues as often as they will. 

7 And when they fhall have liniilied their teftimony, 
the beaft that afcendeth out of the bottomlefspit, fhall 
make war againit them, and fhall overcome them, and 
kill them. 

8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the ftreet of 
the great city, which fpiritually is called Sodom and 
Egypt, where alio our Lord was crucified. 

9 And they of the people, and kindreds, and tongues, 
and nations, fhall fee their dead bodies three days and 
an half, and fhall not fuffer their dead bodies to be put 
in graves. 

10 And they that dwell upon the earth fhall rejoice 
over them, and make merry, and fhall fend gifts one 
to another; becaufe thefe two prophets tormented 
them that dwelt on the earth. 

1 1 And after three days and an half, the Spirit of life 
from God entered into them, and they flood up on their 
feet ; and great fear fell upon them which faw them. 

12 And they heard a great voice from heaven, faying 
unto them, Come up hither. And they afcendcd up to 
heaven in a cloud : and their enemies beheld them. 

13 And the fame hour was there a great earthquake,, 
and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earth- 
quake were flain f of men feven thoufand : and the 
remnant were affrighted, and gave glory to the God

she is delivered, andfieeth into the wilderness. 7 Mi- 
chael and his angels .fight with the dragon, and 
overcome him. 10 The victory proclaimed in hea- 
ven. 13 The dragon, being cast down to the earth, 
pcrsecuteth the woman. 

AN D there appeared a great || wonder in heaven, 
a woman clothed with the fun, and the moon 
under her feet, and upon her head a crown of twelve 
ftars : 

2 And fiie, being with child, cried, travailing in 
birth, and pained to be delivered. 

3 And there appeared another || wonder in heaven, 
and, behold, a great red dragon, having feven heads 
and ten horns, and feven crowns upon his heads. 

4 And his tail drew the third part of the ftars of hea- 
ven, and did caft them to the earth : and the dragon 
flood before the woman which was ready to be deliv- 
ered, for to devour her child as foon as it was born. 

5 And (lie brought forth a man child, who was to 
rule all nations with a rod of iron : and her child was 
caught up unto God, and to his throne. 

6 And the woman fled into the wildernefs, where 
fhe hath a place prepared of God, that they fhould 
Feed her there a thoufand two hundred and threefcore 
days. 

7 And there was war in heaven ; Michael and his 
angels fought againft the dragon ; and the dragon 
fought and his angels, 

8 And prevailed not ; neither was their place found 
any more in heaven. 

9 And the great dragon was caft out, that old fer- 
pent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the 

le world ; he was caft out into the earth, and his 
angels were caft out with him. 

10 And I heard a loud voice faying in heaven, 
Now is come falvation, and ftrength, and the king- 
dom of our God, and the power of Iris Chrift; for 
theaccufer of our brethren is caft down, which ac- 

d them before our God day and night.

having great wrath, becaufe he knoweth that he hath 

but a lhort time. 

13 And when the dragon faw that he was caft unto 
the earth, he perfecuted the woman which Drought 
forth the man child. 

14 And to the woman were given two wings of a 
great eagle, that lhe might fly into the wildernefs, into 
her place ; where fhe is nourilhed for a time, and 
times, and half a time from the face of the ferpent. 

15 And the ferpent caft out of his mouth water, as 
a flood, after the woman, that he might caufe her to 
be carried away of the flood. 

16 And the earth helped the woman : and the earth 
opened her mouth, andfwallowed up the flood which 
the dragon caft out of his mouth, 

17 And the dragon was wroth with the woman, 
and went to make war with the remnant of her feed, 
which keep the commandments of God, and have 
the teftimony of Jefus Chrift. 

CHAP. XIII. 

1 A beast with seven heads and ten horns riseth out of 
the sea, to whom the dragon giveth his power, where- 
with he blasp bemeth God, and vexeth the saints. 1 1 
Another beast cometh up out of the earth, which sup- 
porteth the worship of the former beast. 

N D I ftood upon the land of the lea, and faw a 
beaft rife up out of the lea, having feven heads 
and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and 
upon his heads, the || name of blafphemy. 

2 And the beaft which I faw was like unto a leop- 
ard, and his feet were as the feel of a bear, and his 
mouth as the mouth of a lion ; and the dragon gave 
him his power, and his feat, and great authority. 

3 And I faw one of his heads as it were f wounded 
to death ; and his deadly wound was healed : and all 
the world wondered after the beaft. 

4 And they worfhipped the dragon which gave 
power unto the beaft ; and they worfhipped the beaft, 
faying, Who is like unto die beaft: wno is able to » 
make war with him r 

5 And there was given unto him a mouth {peaking 
great tilings, and blafphemies ; and power was given 
unto him || to continue forty and two months. 

6 And he opened his mouth in blafphemy againft 
God, to blafpheme his name, and his tabernacle, and 
them that dwell in heaven. 

7 And it was given unto him to make war with the 
faints, and to overcome them : and power was given 
him overall kindreds, and tongues, and nations. 

8 And ail that dwell upon the earth lhall worfliip 
him, whofe names are not written in the book of lite 
of the Lamb flain from the foundation of the world. 

9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 

10 He that leadetn into captivity, ii.all go intocap-

on the earth, that they lhouldmake an image to the

15 And he had power to give t life unto the image 
of the beaft, that the image of the beaft fhould both 
fpeak, and caufe that as many as would not worihip 
the image of the beaft, fhould be killed. 

16 And he caufed all, both fmall and great, rich 
and poor, free and bond, f to receive a mark in their 
right hand, or in their foreheads : 

17 And that no man might buy or fell, fave he that 
had the mark, or the name of the beaft, or the num-

18 Here is wifdqm. Let him that hath _ under -

13 The blessedness of those who die in the Lord. _ 14

ND I looked, and lo, a Lamb ftood on the mount 
Sion, arid with him an hundred forty and four 
thoufand, having his Father's name written in their 
foreheads. 

2 And I heard a voice from heaven, as the voice of 
many waters, and as the voice of a great thunder; 
and I heard the voice of harpers harping with their 
harps : 

3 and they fung as it were a new fong before the 
throne, and before the four beafts and the elders : 
and no man could learn that long but the hundred 
and forty and four thoufand, which were redeemed 
from the earth. 

4 Thefe. are they which were not defiled with wo- 
men ; for they are virgins. Thefe are they which 
follow the Lamb wliitherfoever he goeth. Thefe 
t were redeemed from among men, being the firft 
fruits unto God, and to the Lamb. 

5 And in their mouth was found no guile : for they 
are without fault before the throne of God. 

6 And I faw another angel fiy in the midft of 
heaven, having the everlafung gofpel to preach unto 
them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, 
and kindred, and tongue, and people, 

7 Saying with a loud voice, Fear God, and give 
glory to him ; for the hour of his judgment is come ; 
and a worfnip him that made heaven, and earth, and 
the fea, and the fountains of waters. 

8 And there followed another angel, faying, b Bab- 
ylon is fallen, is fallen, that great _ city, be caufe fhe 
made all nations drink of the wine of the wrath of 
her fornication,

11 Andthefmoke of their torment afcendeth up 
for ever and ever : and they have no reft day nor 
night, whoworfhip the beaft and his image, and who- 
foever receiveth the mark of his name. 

12 Here is the patience of the faints : here are they 
that keep the commandments of God, and the faith 
of Jefus. 

13 And I heard a voice from heaven, faying unto 
me, Write, Bleffed are the dead which die in the 
Lord, || from henceforth *. Yea, faith the Spirit, that 
they may reft from their labours ; and their works 
do follow them. 

14 And I looked, and behold, a white cloud, and 
upon the cloud one fat like unto the Son of man, hav- 
ing on his head a golden crown, and in his hand a 
fharp fickle. 

15 And another angel came out of the temple, cry- 
ing with a loud voice to him that fat on the cloud, 

c Thruft in thy fickle, and reap : for the time is come l J °l l 
for thee to reap ; for the harveft of the earth is J

16 And he that fat on the cloud thruft in his fickle 
on the eardi ; and die earth was reaped. 

17 And another angel came out of the temple 
which is in heaven, he alfo having a fharp fickle. 

18 And another angel came out from the altar, 
which had power over fire ; and cried with a loud cry 
to him that had the fliafp fickle, faying, Thruft in thy 
fharp fickle, and gather the clufters of the vine of the 
earth ; for her grapes are fully ripe. 

19 And the angel thruft in his fickle into the earth, 
and gathered the vine of the earth, and call it into the 
great wine prefs of the wrath of God. 

20 And the wine prefs was trodden without the 
city, and blood, came out of die wine prefs even unto 
the horfe bridles, by the fpace of a thoufand and fix 
hundred furlongs.

ND I faw another fign in heaven, great and mar- 
vellous, feven angels having the feven laft plagues ; 
for in them is filled up the wrath of God. ■ 

2 And I faw as it were a fea of glafs, mingled with 
fire ; and them that had gotten the viclory over the

6 And the feven angels came out of the temple, 
having the feven plagues, clothed in pure and white 
linen, and having their breafts girded with golden gir- 
dles. 

7 And one of the four beafts gave unto the feven 
angels feven golden vials full of the wrath of God, 
who liveth for ever and ever. 

8 And the temple was filled with fmoke from the 
glory of God, and from his power; and no man was 
able to enter into the temple, till the feven plagues of 
the feven angles were fulfilled. 

CHAP. XVI. 

1 The semen angels commanded to pour out tJieir vials 
on the earth ; 2 great plagues folloxv thereupon. 15 
Christ comcih suddenly as a thief ; blessed are they 
that watch. 

AN D I heard a great voice out of the temple, fay- 
ing to the feven angels, Go your ways, and pour 
out the vials of the wrath of God upon the earth. 

2 And the firft went, and poured out his vial upon 
the earth ; and there fell a noifome and grievous fore 
upon the men which had the mark of the beaft, and 
upon them which worfhipped his image. 

3 And the fecond angel poured out his vial upon 
the fea ; and it became as the blood of a dead man : 
and every living foul died in the fea. 

4 And the third angel poured out his vial upon the 
rivers and fountains of waters ; and they became blood. 

5 And I heard the angel of the waters lay, Thou 
art righteous, O Lord, which art, and waft, andfhalt 
be, becaufe thou haft judged thus : 

6 For they have flied the blood of faints and proph- 
ets, and thou haft given them blood to drink ; for they 
are worthy. 

7 And I heard another out of the altar fay, Even fo, 
Lord God Almighty, true and righteous are thy 
judgments. 

8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon 
the fun ; and power was given unto him. to fcorch 
men with fire. 

9 And men were || fcorched with great heat, and 
blafphemed the name of God, which hath power over 
thefe plagues : and they repented not, to give him glory. 

10 And the fifth angel pOured out his vial upon the 
feat of the bcaft ; and his kingdom was full of dark- 
nefs ; and they gnawed their tongues for pain, 

11 And blafphemed the God of heaven becaufe of 
their pains and their fores, and repented not of their 
deeds. 

12 And the fixth angel poured out his vial upon 
the great river Euphrates ; and the water thereof was 
dried up, that the way of the kings of the eaft might 
be prepared. 

13 And I (aw three unclean fpirits like frogs come 
out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth 
of the beaft, and out of the mouth of the falfe 
prophet. 

14- For they are the fpirits of devils, working mira- 
cles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth, 
and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle 
of that great day of God Almighty.

17 And the feventh angel poured cut his vial into

ple of heaven from the throne, faying, It is done. 

_ 18 And there were voices, and thunders, and light- 
nings ; and there was a great earthquake, fuch as 
was not fince men were upon the earth, lb mighty an 
earthquake, and fo great. 

19 And the great city was divided into three parts, 
and the cities of the nations fell : and Great Babylon 
came in remembrance before God, b to give unto her hjtr«s 
the cup of the wine of the fiercenefs of his wrath. * 5 15 ' 

20 And every ifland fled away, and the mountains 
were not found. 

21 And there fell upon men a great hail out of heav- 
en, every stone about the weight of a talent ; and men 
blafphemed God becaufe of the plague of the hail ; 
for the plague thereof was exceeding great. 

CHAP. XVII. 
1 John's vision of the great whore sitting upon the 
scarlet coloured beast arrayed in purple and scarlet, 
with a golden cup in her hand : 5 her name : 6 she 
is d.runken with the blood of saints. 7 The interpre- 
tation of the mystc j of the beast, and of his seven 
heads and ten horns. 14 The victory of the Lamb. 
1 6 The punishment of the whore. 

AND there came one of the feven angels, which had 
the feven vials, and talked with me, faying unto 
me, Come hither ; I will fliew unto thee the judgment 
of the great whore that fitteth upon many waters : 

2 With whom the kings of the earth have commit- 
ted fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have 
been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. 

3 So he carried me away in the fpirit into the wil- 
dernefs ,• and I faw a woman fit upon a fcarlet colour- 
ed beaft, full of names of blafphemy, having feven 
heads and ten horns. 

4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and fcar- 
let colour, and f decked with gold, and precious ftones, 
and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand, full of 
abominations and filthinefs of her fornication : 

5 And upon her forehead was a name written. 
MYSTERY. BABYLON THE GREAT, THE 
MOTHER OF || HARLOTS AND ABOMINA- 
TIONS OF THE EARTH. 

6 And I law the woman drunken with the blood of 
the faints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Je- 
fus : and when I faw her, I wondered with great ad- 
miration. 

7 And the angel faid unto me, "Wherefore didft 
thou marvel ? I will tell thee the myftery of the wo- 
man, and of the bcaft that carrieth her, which hath 
the feven heads and ten horns. 

8 The beaft that thou faweft was, and is not ; and 
fhall afcend out of the bottomlefs pit, and go into per- 
dition : and they that dwell on the earth lhall wonder, 
(w hofe names were not written in the book of life 
from the foundation of the world,) when they behold 
die beaft that was, and is not, and yet is. 

9 And hchWs the mind which hath wifdom. The 
(even heads are ih\cn mountains, on which the wo- 
man fitteth. 

10 And there are feven kings : five are fallen, and 
one is, and the other is not yet come ; and when he

judgment of Babylon, 

t 1 1 And the beaft that was, and is not, even he is the 
eighth, and is of the feven, and goeth into perdition. 

12 And the ten horns which thou faweft are ten 
kings ; which have received no kingdom as yet ; but 
receive power as kings one hour with the beaft. 

13 Thefe have one mind, and fhall give their power 
and ftrength unto the beaft. 

14 Thefe fliall make war with the Lamb, and the 
Lamb fhall overcome them : a for he is Lord of lords, 
and King of kings ; and they that are with him are 
called, and chofen, and faithful. 

15 And he faith unto me, The waters which thou 
faweft, where the whore fitteth, are peoples, and mul- 
titudes, and nations, and tongues. 

16 And the ten horns which thou faweft upon the 
beaft, thefe fhall hate the whore, and fliall make her 
defolate and naked, and fliall eat her flefh, and burn 
her with fire. 

17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his 
will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the 
beaft, until the words of God fliall be fulfilled. 

_ 18 And the woman which thou faweft is that great 
city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth. 

CHAP. XVIII. 
1 A mighty angel declarcth the fall of Babylon. 4 
Gofrs people commanded to depart out of her : 8 her 
judgment. 9 The kings of the earth, 1 1 and the 
merchants and mariners, lament over her. 20 The 
saints excited to rejoice over her .-21 the represen- 
tation of her irrecoverable fall. 

AN D after thefe things I faw another angel come 
down from heaven, having great power ; and 
the earth was lightened with his glory. 

2 And he cried mightily with a ftrong voice, faying, 
a Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become 
the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul 
fpirit, and a cage „of every unclean and hateful bird. 

3 For all nations have drunk of the wine of the 
w r rath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth 
have committed fornication with her, and the mer- 
chants of the earth are waxed rich through the 
|| abundance of her delicacies. 

4 And I heard another voice from heaveh, faying, 
b Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers 
of her fins, and that ye receive not of her plagues : 

5 For her fins have reached unto heaven, and God 
hath remembered her iniquities. 

6 Reward her even as lhe rewarded you, and double 
unto her double according to her works : in the cup 
which fhe hath filled, fill to her double. 

7 How much ihe hath glorified herfelf, and lived 
delicioufly, fo much torment and forrowgive her : for 
fhe faith in her heart, I fit a c queen, and am no 
widow, and fhall fee no forrow. 

8 Therefore fhall her plagues come in one day, 
death, and mourning, and famine ; and fhe fliall be 
utterly burnt with fire : for ftrong is the Lord God 
who judgeth her. 

9 And d die kings of the earth, who have commit- 
ted fornication and lived delicioufly with her, fliall 
bewail her, and lament for her, when they fhall fee 
the fmoke of her burning, 

10 Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, 
faying, Alas, alas ! that great city Babylon, that mighty 
city ! for in one hour is thy judgment come. 

11 And the merchants of the earth iliall weep and

for which God is praised in heaven, 
for no man buyeth e their merchan

12 The merchandife of gold, and filver, and prec-

ple, and iilk, and fcarlet, and all || thyine wood, and all 
manner veffels of ivory , and all manner veffels of moil

13 And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and 
frankincenfe, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and 
wheat, and beafts, and fheep, and horfes, and chariots, 
and || flaves, and fouls of men. 

14 And the fruits that thy foul lulled after are de- 
parted from thee, and all things which were dainty 
and goodly are departed from thee, and thou fhalt 
find them no more at all. 

15 The merchants of thefe things which were made 
rich by her, fhall Hand afar off, for the fear of her tor- 
ment, weeping and wailing, 

16 And faying, Alas, alas ! that great city, that was 
clothed in fine linen, and purple, and fcarlet, and 
decked with gold, and precious ftones, and pearls. 

17 For in one hour fo great riches are come to 
nought. And every fhipmafter, and all the company 
in fhips, and failors, and as many as trade by fea, 
flood afar off, 

18 And cried, when they faw the fmoke of her burn- 
ing, faying, What city is like unto this great city ! 

19 And they caft dull on their heads, and cried, 
weeping and wailing, faying, Alas, alas ! that great 
city, wherein were made rich all that had fliips in the 
fea by reafon of her coftlinefs ! for in one hour is fhe 
made defolate. 

20 Rejoice over her, thou heaven, and ye holy 
apoftles and prophets ; for God hath avenged you on 
her. 

21 And a mighty angel took up a Hone like a great 
millftone, and call it into the fea, faying, Thus with 
violence fhall that great city Babylon be thrown down, 
and fliall be found no more at all. 

22 And the voice of harpers, and muficians, and 
of pipers, and trumpeters, fhalt be heard no more at 
all in thee ; and no craftfman, of whatfoever craft he 
be, fhall be found any more in thee ; and die found 
of a millftone fhall be heard no more at all in thee ; 

23 And the light of a candle fhall fhine no more at 
all in thee ; and the voice of the bridegroom and 
of the bride fliall be heard no more at all in thee : 
for thy merchants were the great men of the earth ; 
for by thy forceries were all nations deceived. 

24 And in her was found the blood of prophets, 
and of faints, and of all that were flain upon the 
earth.

9 And they went up on the breadth of the earth , 
and compaffed the camp of the faints about, and the

AN D a I faw a new heaven and a new earth ^ for 
the firfl heaven and the firit earth were palled 
away ; and there was no more fea. 

2 And I John law the holy city, new Jerufalem, 
coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a 
bride adorned for her hulband. 

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven, faying, 
Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he 
will dwell with them, and they fhall be his people, and 
God himfelf (hall be with them, and he their God.. 

4 h And God fhall wipe away all tears from their 
eyes : and there fhall be no more death, neither for- 
row nor crying, neither fhall there be any .more pain : 
for the former things are paffed away. 

5 And he that fat upon the throne faid, c Behold, 
I make all things new. And he faid unto me, Write ; 
for thefe words are true and faithful. 

6 And he faid unto me, It is done. d I am Alpha 
and Omega, the beginning and the end : e I will give 
unto him that is athirft, of the fountain of the water 
of life freely. 

7 He that overcometh fliall inherit all things ; and 
I will be his God, and he (hall be my ion. 

8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abomi- 
nable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and for- 
cerers, and idolaters, and all liars, fhall have their part 
in the lake which burnetii with fire and brimftone ; 
which is the fecond death. 

9 And there came unto me one of the feven an- 
gels, which had the feven vials full, of the feven laft 
plagues, and talked with me, faying, Come hither, 
I will (hew thee the bride, the Lamb's wife. 

10 And he carried me away in the fpirit to a great 
and high mountain, and (lie wed me that great city, 
tine holy Jerufalem, defcendingoutof heavenfromGod. 

11 Having the glory of God : and her light was 
like unto a (lone molt precious, even like a jafper 
(lone, clear ascryftal; 

12 And had a wall great and high, and had twelve 
gates, and at ;the gates twelve angels, and names 
written threon, which are the names of the twelve 
tribes of the children of Ifrael. 

13 On the eaft, three gates;; on the north, threegates; 
on the fouth, three gates; and on the weft, three gates. 

14 And the wall of the city had twelve foundations, 
and in them die names of the twelve apoftles of the 
Lamb. 

15 And he that talked with me had a golden reed 
to meafure the city, and the gates thereof, and the 
wall thereof. 

16 And the city lieth four fquare, and the length is 
as large as the breadth. And he meafured the city 
-with flie reed, twelve thoufand furlongs : the length, 
and the breadth, and the height of it, are equal. 

17 And he meafured --the wall thereof, an hundred 
and forty and four cubits, according to the meafure of 
a man, that is, of the angel. 

18 And the building of the wail of it was o/jafper : 
and the city was pure gold, like unto clear glafs.

eth the blefling from Ifaac his father, which 
was defigned for Efau. Upon which he is 
forced to flee into Mefopotamia to fhun.his 
brother's rage. Upon the way are foretold 
unto him, in a vifion, the bleffings of his pof- 
terity. At length he cometh to his uncle La- 
ban's houfe, and covenanteth to ferve him 
feven years for his daughter Rachel, but La- 
ban deceiveth him with Leah \ the marriage 
week being completed, Rachel alfo is given 
him to wife, upon condition of ferving feven. 
years more.

of Shechem to the fword, for which thing Ja- 
cob reproveth them. 

Rachel is delivered of Benjamin on the way 
betwixt Bethel, or Bethlehem, and Ephrath, 
and dies in childbed. Some think that Job 
lived about this time. 

Judah lieth with Thamar his daughter in 
law in difguife. 

Jofeph is hated by his brethren, and is fold 
to merchantmen, Ifhmaeiites, and Midianites, 
who carry him into Egypt, where he is fold to

made overleer of his houfe. 

Jofeph refifteth the temptations of his maf- 
ter's.wife \ he is falfely accufed by. her, and. 
caft into prifon. He interpreteth the dreams 
of Pharaoh's butler and baker, which come to 
pafs according to his interpretation.

to his Brethren, and fendeth for his father, by 
command from Pharaoh. 

Jacob, having offered facrifice to God, for 
that his fon Jofeph is yet alive, goes with all 
his family into Egypt, in the third year of 
famine, and 130th year of his age. He is 
feated in the land of Gofhen. 

Jofeph getteth all the money, lands, and 
cattle of the Egyptians for bread ; only the 
lands belonging to the priefts he buyeth not. 

Jacob adopteth Ephraim and Manaffeh, and 
bleffeth them, and all his fons ; prophefieththe 
defcent of the Meffiah from Judah, and dieth, 
aged 147 years; 17 whereof he lived in Egypt. 
He is with great pomp carried into Canaan, 
and buried in the fepulchre of his father. 

Jofeph on his deathbed, prophefieth unto 
his brethren their return into Canaan ; takes 
an oath of them to carry his bones out of 
Egypt, and dieth, aged no years. 

The book of Genefis endeth in the death of 
Jofeph, containing the hiftory of 2369 years ; 
next to which in order of time, the book of 
Job follows, written (as it is generally believed)' 
by Mofes. 

Levi dieth in Egypt, aged 137 years ; he 
was grandfather to Mofes and Aaron. 

Here begins the bondage of the children of 
Ifrael, when a king rofe up in Egypt who 
knew not Jofeph, 

Aaron born three years before his brother 
Mofes, 83 years before the departure of the 
children of Ifrael out of Egypt. 

Pharaoh, having in vain commanded the 
Hebrew midwives to deftroy all the males 
of the Ifraelites, fets forth an edict, charging 
that they be all caft into the river. 

Mofes is born, who being hid in the flags by 
the river's fide, is found by Pharaoh's daugh- 
ter, and becomes her adopted fon. 

Mofes in the 40th year of his age, having 
flain an Egyptian, whom he faw contending 
with an Hebrew, fleeth into Midian, where he 
marrieth Zipporah the daughter of Reuel or 
Jethro, a prieft, and liveth with him 40 years. 

Caleb, the fon of Jephunneh, born. 

"Whilft Mofes keeps his father in law's fheep 
at mount Horeb, God appeareth to him in a 
burning bufh, andfendeth him to deliver ifrael.

of age, urged thereunto by God, return again 
to Pharaoh, where the magiciarrs, by their

The Fourth Age of the World. 
PON the fourteenth day of the firft 
month (which was May the 4th, upon 
Monday with us,) in the evening, the paffover 
is inftituted. 

Upon the fifteenth of the fame month, at 
midnight, the firftborn of Egypt being all 
flain, Pharaoh and his fervants make hafte to 
fend away the Ifraelites ; and they, the felf- 
fame day wherein they were let go out of 
bondage, being the complete term of 430 years 
from the firft pilgrimage of their anceftors, 
reckoning from Abraham's departure out of 
Charran, take their journey, and march away, 
being 600,000 men, befide children, and come 
to Ramefes, from whence, by feveral encamp- 
ings, they come to the Red lea, the Lord con- 
ducting them in a pillar of a cloud by day, 
and in a pillar of fire by night. They carry 
Jofeph's bones with them. 

At the Red fea Pharaoh with his hoft over- 
takes them ; Mofes divides the waters with 
his rod, and the children of Ifrael pafs through 
on dry ground unto the defert of Etham ; 
whom when Pharaoh and his army would 
needs follow, they are all overwhelmed by the 
waters coming together at the dawning of 
the day, whereby the Ifraelites are wholly 
freed from the bondage of the Egyptians ; 
whofe carcaffes when they fee floating all the 
fea over, and caft upon the ihore, they fing a 
fong of praife and thanklgiving unto God. 

Upon the fifteenth of the fecond month, 
(our June the 4th, being Thurfday,) the Ifra- 
elites come to the wildernefs of Zin, which 
lieth between Elyma and Sinai, where, for 
want of food, they murmur againft God and 
their leaders. About the eventide God fends 
them quails, and the next morning rains upon 
them manna from heaven ; and upon that kind 
of bread they lived afterward by the (pace of 
40 years, even till they came to the borders of 
the land of promife. An omer of it is pre- 
ferved for a memorial. 

At Rephidim, which was the eleventh place 

of their encamping, the people murmur for 

want of water : Mofes gives them water, by 

(hiking the hard rock in Horcb with his rod.

Moles holds up his hands to God in prayer. 

God publilheth his law, contained in the 
Ten Commandments, with a terrible voice 
from mount Sinai. 

The people being in great fear, God gives 
them fundry other laws, all which being writ- 
ten in the book of the covenant, Mofes propof- 
eth them to the people ; which done, rifing 
early in the morning, he builds an altar at the 
foot of the mountain, and fets up twelve ftat- 
ues, according to the twelve tribes of Ifrael, 
and fends twelve young men of the firftborn, 
(whom the Lord had confecrated to himfelf 
as minifters of thofe holy things, before the 
Levitical priefthood was ordained,) who offer 
facrifice firfl for fin, and then for thanks- 
giving, to the Lord : and, when Mofes had 
read the book of the covenant, he takes the 
blood of the calves and goats fo offered, and 
with water, fcarlet wool, and hyffop, fprinkles 
the book therewith, and all the people, or 
thofe twelve ftatues reprefenting them ; and 
fo performs a folemn covenant between God 
and his people. 

Mofes and Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and 
70 men of the elders of Ifrael, go up into the 
mount, and there behold the glory of God : 
the reft returning, Mofes, with his fervant 
Jofhua, abides there ftill, and waits fix days, 
and upon the feventh day God fpeaks unto 
him, and there he continues 40 days and 40 
nights, (reckoning thofe fix days which he 
waited for the appearance of the Lord,) eating 
no meat all that while, nor drinking water, 
[Deut. ix. 9.) where he receives God's com- 
mand touching the frame of the tabernacle, 
the priefts' garments, their confecration, fac- 
rifices, and other things comprifed in this 
and the fix following chapters. 

At the end of 40 days, God gives Mofes 
the two tables of the law in ftone, made by 
God's own hand, and. written with his own 
finger-, bidding him withahcmickly to get him 
down, for that the people hadalready made to 
themfelves a molten calf to worfhip. Mofes, 
by prayer, pacifieth God, and goes down from 
the mount, and, feeing the people keeping a 
feftival in honour of their idol in the camp, 
he breaks the tables of the law at the foot of 
the mount •, for which the Jews keep a folemn 
faft unto this day. 

Mofes, having burnt and defaced the idol, 
puts 3000 of the idolaters to death by the 
hands of the Levites. 

God commands Mofes to frame new tables 
of ftone, and to bring them with him into the 
mount : Mofes brings them the next morning ; 
and, whilft he ftands in the cleft of a rock, 
God paffeth by, and fheweth him a glimpfe

God renews his covenant with his people,

laws again.

In the firft fix months of this year, the tab- 
ernacle, the ark of the covenant, the altar, 
the table of fhew bread, the prieft's garments, 
the holy ointments, the candleftick, and other 
utenfils and veffels belonging to the facrifices, 
are finifhed in the defert at mount Sinai, and 
are brought unto Mofes. 

The tabernacle is fet up, and anointed with 
holy oil ; Aaron and his fons are confecrated 
for the priefthood. 

Nadab and Abihu, for offering ftrange fire, 
are ftruck dead in the place by fire from heaven. 

The princes of the tribes prefent their offer- 
ings toward the dedication of the tabernacle. 
God fpeaketh to Mofes from the mercy feat. 

The fecond paffover is inftituted. 

Jethro, who is alfo called Hobab, brings 
his daughter Zipporah, with her two fons, 
Gerfhon and Eliezer, which were left with 
him, to his fon in law Mofes ; and, having 
congratulated his and the whole people of 
Ifraei's deliverance out of bondage, he openly 
declares his faith and devotion towards the 
true God. By his advice Mofes imparts the 
government of the people to fome others, 
and ordains magistrates for the deciding of 
leffer caufes. 

Mofes complains to God of the over great 
burden of his government ; God, to eafe him 
of his charge, gives him for affiftance the 
court of feventy elders. 

The people luft for flefh ; God gives them 
quails in wrath : and fends withal a moft griev- 
ous plague among them. 

God rebukes the fedition of Miriam and 
Aaron, and maintaineth Mofes's right. 

From the wildernefs of Paran, near Kadefh- 
barnea, twelve men are fent (among whom 
are Caleb and Jofhua) to difcover the land of 
Canaan. Returning, they bring with them a 
branch of a vine, with a clufter of grapes 
upon it ; ten of the twelve fo fent, fpeak ill of 
the country, declare it barren, and magnify 
the cities for their ftrength, and the giantly 
ftature of the inhabitants. 

The people, terrified with this relation, are 
about to return into Egypt, from which Caleb 
and Jofhua, endeavouring to diffuade them, 
are like to be ftoned. At this God is fo pro- 
voked, that he threateneth to deftroy them ; 
but is prevailed upon by Mofes's prayers to 
fpare them. Ncverthelefs, he denounceth that 
all who are now twenty years old and up- 
ward (except Caleb and Jofhua) fhall die in 
the wildernefs. The men who raifed the 
evil report are all deftroyed by fudden death. 
Some endeavouring to enter upon the prom- 
ifed land, contrary to the command of God, are 
fmitten by the Amalekites and Canaanites. 

In this place, viz. Kadefhbarnea, the Ifrael- 
ites continue many days ; but that in fome 
places they continued many years appeareth ; 
for that in the fpace of thirty feven years there 
are but Seventeen encampings mentioned.

Fourth Age of the World, 

To their long continuance in Kadefh, and 
the encampings from thence, all that we find 
delivered in the xvth and four next enfuing 
chapters of Numbers, feems to refer ; as how 
Korah, Dathan, and Abiram, for raifing a 
mutiny againft Mofes and Aaron, were fwal- 
lowed alive into the earth, and 250 of their 
afibciates ; and how the people, murmuring 
againft Mofes and Aaron for the calamity 
which had befallen their brethren, were de- 
ftroyed by God, to the number of 14,700 men ; 
and how twelve rods being brought by twelve 
princes, and laid in the fanctuary, Aaron's 
rod only budded, and brought forth almonds, 
and was laid up before the ark, for a memorial 
to thofe who fhould afterwards be given to re- 
bellion. 

In thefe thirty feven years, the Ifraelites, 
by feventeen encampings, having compaffed 
the hill country of Seir and Edom, they come 
to the wildernefs of Zin, in the firft month of 
the fortieth year after their departure out of 
Egypt. 

Here Miriam, the fifter of Mofes and Aaron, 
dieth. 

The people again, for want of water, mur- 
mur againft Mofes and Aaron, whom when 
God had commanded to call water out of the 
rock only by fpeaking to it, Mofes, being 
moved in his mind through impatience and 
diffidence of the thing, fpeaksfomething, what- 
ever it was, unadvifedly with his lips, and 
ftrikes the rock thrice with Aaron's rod, and 
thereby draws water from it ; but for tranf- 
greffing God's command, they are both de- 
barred from entering into the land of Canaan. 
In the fifth month of this year Aaron dieth 
at Mofera, on the top of mount Hor, at the 
age of 123 years, leaving his fon Eleazar his 
fucceflbr in the high priefthood. 

The people murmuring are plagued with 
fiery ferpents, whereof many die ; upon their 
repentance God commands that a brazen fer- 
pent be made, and lifted up upon a pole, that 
as many as look on it may live. 

About the latter end of this year, all thofe 
who at Kadefhbarnea mutinied againft God, 
being wholly extinct and dead, the Ifraelites 
pafs over Zared, and come to the borders of 
Moab at Ar : and at length they arrive at j 
Bamoth, a valley in the country of the Moab- 
ites, and pitch at mount Pifgah. 

Sihon, king of the Amorites, refufing them 
pafiage through his country, is flain, and the 
Ifraelites pofTefs his land. 

Og, the king of Bafhan, coming out againft 
Ifrael, is deftroyed with all his people, not one 
left alive, and his country pofTeffed by the 
Ifraelites. 

After thefe victories the Ifraelites fet 
ward, and encamp in the plains of Moab.

Ifraelites had done to the Amorites, fears, !

of the Midianites, his neighbours, and fends 
for Balaam, a foothfayer, out of Mefopotamia, 
to come and curfe the Ifraelites, promifing 
him great rewards for his labour ; purpofing 
afterwards to make war upon them. 

Balaam, forewarned of God, refufeth at 
firft to come •, but being fent for a fecond time, 
he importuneth God to let him go, and goes 
with a purpofe indeed to curfe Ifrael ; but 
God, offended thereat, makes the dumb afs of 
this wizard, on which he rode, fpeaking in a 
man's voice, to reprove his folly. 

Balaam twice offers facrifice, and would 
fain have curfed Ifrael, to gratify Balak there- 
in ; but inftead of curfing, being forced there- 
to by the Spirit of God, he blefTeth them al- 
together ; foretelling what felicity attended 
them, and what calamities fhould befall their 
enemies. 

By his advice the women of Moab and Mi- 
dian are fet on work to turn the Ilraelites 
away to idolatry. Wherefore God commands 
Mofes firft to take all the ring leaders of this 
diforder, and to hang them up before the fun, 
and then gives order to the judges to put to 
death all fuch as had joined themfelves to 
Baalpeor. Laft of all, God fends a plague 
upon the people, whereof died 23,000 men in 
one day ; which, added to thofe who were 
hanged and killed with the fword, amount in 
all to 24,000. 

Phinehas, the fon of Eleazar, by killing 
Zimri, the chief of his father's family, and 
Cozbi, the daughter of Zur, a prince of the 
Midianites, appeafeth the wrath of God, and 
the plague ceafeth. God therefore fettleth 
the high priefthood for ever upon the houfe of 
Phinehas, and commands that war be made 
upon the Midianites. 

Mofes and Eleazar, by God's command, in 
the plain of Moab, near unto Jordan, over 
againft Jericho, number the people from twen- 
ty"years old and upwards, and find them to be 
601,730 men, befide theLevites, whofe num- 
ber, reckoning them from one month old and 
upward, come to 23,000 ; and then Mofes 
receives command for the parting of the land 
of promife among the Ifraelites. 

The daughters of Zelophehad have their 
father's land parted among them for want of 
iflue male ; this occafions the law for fuccef- 
fion in heritages to be made. 

God fignifies to Mofes that he fliall die ; 
and Jofhua thereupon is declared to be his 
fuccefTor, upon whom Mofes lays his hands, 
and gives him inftructions. Several laws arc 
made. 

Twelve thoufand of the Ifraelites, under 
the command of Phinehas, vanquifh the Mi- 
dianites, and put to the fword all the males 
among them, with their five princes, and 
among them Zur, the father of Cozbi, and

Balaam the wizard ; but they fave the women 
alive ; at which Mofes is wroth, and com- 
mands that every male child, and all the wo- 
men, except fuch as were virgins, be killed. 

The lands which belonged to Sihon and 
Og, namely, all from the river Arnon to mount 
Hermon, Mofes divides, and gives to the 
tribes of Reuben and Gad, and the half tribe 
of ManafTeh •, fo that their pofTeflions lie on 
this fide Jordan ; neverthelefs, they affift the 
reft of the tribes in all their wars, "till they 
have fubdued the Canaanites, and poflefled 
the promifed land. 

Mofes commands the people, that, in their 
pafTage over Jordan, they fhall fet up great 
ftones, and engrave the Ten Commandments 
on them, with the form of bleffing upon mount 
Gerizim, and of curfing on mount Ebal ; ex- 
horting them to obferve the law of God, by 
fetting before their eyes the benefits that 
would enfue thereon. 

He alfo renews the covenant made by God 
with them and their children on mount Horeb, 
and again perfuades them to keep that cove- 
nant, by all the blefungs and curfes which 
would undoubtedly follow the keepers or 
breakers of it : yet with a promife of pardon 
and deliverance, if at any time, having broken 
it, they fhall repent them of their fin ; and 
tells them further, that God had therefore 
thus declared his will unto them, to the end 
that none hereafter offending, fhall pretend 
ignorance. 

Mofes, having written this law, delivers it 
to the priefts, the fons of Levi, and the elders 
of the people, to be kept ; the fame day alfo 
he writes his moft excellent fong, and teaches 
the fame to the children of Ifrael to be fung •, 
and, having finifhed the book of the law, he 
takes order to have it laid up in the fide of the 
ark. 

Mofes, now drawing near to his end, bleff- 
eth every tribe in particular, by way of pro- 
phecy, fave only the tribe of Simeon. 

In the -twelfth month of this year he goes 
up to mount Nebo, and from thence beholds 
the land of promife, and there dieth, aged 1 20 
years ; the body of Mofes God tranflates out 
of the place where he died, into a valley of the 
land of Moab, over againft Bethpeor, and 
there burieth it ; nor doth any man know the 
place where he laid it unto this day. The 
Ifraelites mourn for him thirty days. 

Here ends the Pentateuch, or five books of 
Mofes, containing the hiftory of 2552 years 
and an half from the beginning of the world ; 
and the book of Jofhua begins with the forty 
firft year after the departure of the children 
of Ifrael out of Egypt. 

Jofhua, being confirmed in his government 
by God, fends forth fpies from Shittim to the 
city of Jericho, who, being harboured by 
Rahab, are privily fent away, when fearch is

Upon the tenth day of the firft month) 
( April 30^ to wit, the fame day that the 
Pafchal lamb was to be chofen out of the flock, 
the Ifraelites, under the conduct of Jofhua, a 
type of Jefus Chrift, go up out of the river 
Jordan into the promifed land of Canaan, a 
type of a more heavenly country. They pafs 
through the river on dry ground, the waters I 
being for that prefent divided ; for a memo- 
rial of which miraculous paffage, Jofhua fets 
up twelve ftones in the very channel of Jor- 
dan, and taking twelve other ftones out of the 
midft thereof, fets them up at Gilgal, the place 
where they next encamp. 

The day following Jofhua renews the ufe 
of circumcifion, which had been omitted 40 
years. 

Upon the fourteenth day of the fame month, 
in the evening, the Ifraelites celebrate their 
firft paffover in the land of Canaan. 

Next day after thepafibver, manna ceafeth. 
Our Lord Jefus, Captain of his Father's 
hoft, appears to Jofhua, the typical Jefus, be- 
fore Jericho, with a drawn fword in his hand, 
and promifeth there to defend his people. 

Jericho, the ark of the Lord having been 
carried round about it, is taken the feventh 
day, the walls thereof falling down at the 
found of the priefts' trumpets ; all the inhabit- 
ants are put to the fword, except Rahab and 
her family. 

The Ifraelites befiege Ai, and are fmitten 
by their enemies, God having abandoned 
them for facrilege committed by Achan. 
Achan's fin being difcovered by the calling of 
lots, and himfelf found guilty, he is ftoned to 
death, and, together with his children and 
cattle, burnt with fire. God being pacified 
hereby, Ai is taken by ambufhment, and ut- 
terly deftroyed. 

On mount Ebal, according to the law made, 
is an altar erected, and the Ten Command- 
ments engraven on it ; the bleffings and curf- 
ings are repeated on mount Ebal and mount 
Gerizim, and the book of the law read in the 
ears ofithe people. 

The kings of Canaan combine againft If- 
rael ; only the Gibeonites craftily find a way 
to fave their own lives, by making a league 
with them ; but are afterward deputed to the 
fervile offices of the houfe of God. 

Adonizedek king of Jerufalem, with the 
kings of Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachifh, and Eg- 
Ion, hearing that Gibeon, is fallen off from 
them, join their forces together, and befiege 
it ; but Jofhua raifeth the fiege, purfueth thofe 
five kings, and fmiteth them as far as Azekah, 
the Lord, in the mean while, killing more with 
hail ftones from heaven, than the Ifraelites 
with their fwords. Jofhua commands the 
fun to ftantl ftiil over Gibeon, and the moon 
over the valley of Ajalon, by the fpace almoft 
of one whole day, until the Ifralites are fully 
of their enemies. The five kings

God to divide all the land on the weft of 
Jordan, among the nine tribes remaining, and 
the other half tribe of Manafieh. The Lord 
and his facrifices are the inheritance of Levi. 

The reft of the kings, with whom Joihua 
had waged war for fix years, refolve to fet 
upon him with united forces ; but Jofliua 
comes upon them unawares, flays them, and 
pofTeffeth their countries. 

Jofhua now roots out thofe giants, the Ana- 
kims, with their cities, out of the hill coun- 
tries, out of Hebron, Debir, and Anab, and, 
generally, out of all the mountains of Judah, 
and all Ifrael. And, having gotten the whole 
land into his hands, he divides it among the 
children of Ifrael, according to their tribes ; 
and the land refted from war. 

The firft Sabbatical year, or year of reft : 
from hence the year- of Jubilee, or every 50 
years' fpace, is to be reckoned. 

The tabernacle is fet up at Shiloh, (thought 
to be the fame with Salem,) where it continued 
328 years. 

The Reuben!tes,Gadites, and the half tribe 
of Manafieh, with a bleffing, are fent home to 
their pofTefTions on the other fide of Jordan. 

Jofhua gathers together all Ifrael, exhorts 
them to obedience, briefly recites God's ben- 
efits to them, reneweth the covenant between 
them and God, and dieth no years- old. 

After the deceafe of Jofhua, and the elders 
who outlived him, and who remembered the 
wonders which God had wrought for Ifrael, 
there fucceeds a generation of men which for- 
get God, and mingle themfelves with the Ca- 
naanites by marriage, and worfhip their idols. 
In this time of anarchy and confufion, when 
every man did that which feemed right in his 
own eyes, all thofe diforders were committed 
which are reported in the five laft chapters of 
the Book of judges ; to wit, the idolatry of Mi- 
cah and the children of Dan :, the war of the 
Benjamites, and the cauie thereof. God being 
highly provoked, gives them up into the hands 
of Cufhan king of Mefopotamia : which firft 
calamity of theirs holds them but eight years. 

Othniel, the fon of Kenaz, and fon in law 
to Caleb, ftirred up by God as a judge and 
avenger of -his people, defeats Cuihan, and 
delivers the Israelites out of bondage ; and the 
land refted 40 years after the firft reft which 
Jofhua procured for them. 

Othniel dying, the Ifraelites fall again to j 
fin againft God, and arc given over into the 
hands of Eglon, king of Moab, who, joining 
with the Ammonites and the Amalekites,

Judges overthrows the Ifrael ites, and takes Jericho ; 
and this fecond oppreilion continueth 1 8 years. 
, 30 Ehud, the fon of Gera, is railed up by God, 
to be an avenger of his people ; for, feigning 
a mefTage to Eglon, he runs him into the belly 
with his dagger ; then, getting away, he gath- 
ers all Ifrael into a body on mount Ephraim, 
and flays 1 0,00a of the moft valiant men of 
Moab ; and the land refted forty years, after 
the former reft obtained by Othniel. 

After him Shamgar the fon of Anath flay- 
eth 600 Philiftines with an ox goad, and he 
alio avengeth Ifrael. 
IV. 1, 2, q The Ifraelites, after the death of Ehud, re- 
turning to their old fin, are given up by God 
into the hands of Jabin king of Canaan ; and 
this thraldom of theirs continueth 20 years. 

Deborah, the wife of Lapidoth, a proph- 
etefs, who at this time judgeth Ifrael in mount 
Ephraim, and Barak of the tribe of Naphtali, 
being made captain of the hoft of Ifrael, in 
fight of Megiddo overcome Sifera captain of 
Jabin's army, whom Jael the wife of Heber 

V. 31 the Kenite afterwards kills in her own tent. 
For a memorial of which victory, Deborah 
compofeth a fong ; and the land refteth forty

VI. The Ifraelites finning again, are delivered 
into the hands of theMidianites ; which fourth 
thraldom lafteth feven years. Hereupon they 
cry unto God for help, and are reproved by a 
prophet. Then Gideon the fon of Joafh, of 
ManafTeh, is by an angel from God fent to de- 
liver them. He firft overturns the altar of 
Baal, and burns his grove, and is called Jerub- 
baal. He, out of 32,000 men which came 
unto him, choofeth only ( God fo commanding) 
300 ; but with them he puts to flight all the

afterwards purfue, and flay their princes,

men of Succoth and Pennuel, who had refilled 
him victuals in his journey; and flays the two 
kings of the Midianites, Zebah and Zalmun-

offering to fettle the kingdom upon him and 
his pofterity, he refufeth it -, but receiving 
their golden earrings, he makes thereof an 
cphod, which afterward proves an occafion of 
idolatry. The Midianites being thus van- 
quished, the land enjoys reft 40 years after the

Shechemites, got to be made king, Jotham, 
the youngeft fon of Gideon, who only efcaped 
Abimelech's fury, from the top of mount 
Gerizim, expoftulates with them the wrong 
they had done to his father's houfe •, and, by 
way of a parable, foretels their ruin ; which 
done, he flees, and dwells quietly in Beer. 

Abimelech having reigned three years over 
Ifrael, Gaal a Shechemite confpires againft 
him, which being difcovered to him by Zebul, 
he utterly deftroyeth the city of Shechem, 
and puts all the inhabitants to the fword, and 
burnetii the temple of their god Berith, with 
fire : from thence he goes and layeth fiege to 
Thebez, where he is knocked on the head 
with a piece of a millftone, caft upon him by a 
woman from the walls, and then killed out- 
right by his armour bearer. 

Tola the fon of Puah, after Abimelech, 
judgeth Ifrael twenty three years. 

Jair the Gileadite fucceeds Tola, and judg- 
eth Ifrael twenty two. years. 

The Ifraelites forfaking again the true God, 
fall to worfhip the gods of feveral nations, 
and are given up into the hands of the Phi- 
liftines and Ammonites ; which fifth thraldom 
lafteth 1 8 years. Upon their repentance, and 
abandoning their idols, at length they obtain 
mercy. 

Jephthah the Gileadite, being made captain 
of the hoft of Ifrael, fubdues the Ammonites ; 
before the battle he vows his daughter una- 
wares to be offered in facrifice, and afterwards 
performs it. He puts to the fword 42,000 
Ephraimites who had behaved themfelves 
infolently againft him, and judgeth Ifrael fix 
years. 

Ibzan the Bethlehemite fucceeds Jephthah, 
and judgeth Ifrael feven years. 

Elon the Zebulonite fucceeds Ibzan, and: 
judgeth Ifrael ten years. 

Abdon the Ephraimite fucceeds Elon, and 
judgeth Ifrael eight years. 

Eli the high prieft (in whom the high prieft- 
hood was tranflated from the family of Eleazar 
to Ithamar's) fucceeds Abdon, and judgeth 
Ifrael forty years. The Ifraelites again pro- 
voke the Lord to anger, and he delivers them 
into the hands of the Philiftines. This fixth 
thraldom begins feven months after Eli's en- 
tering upon the government, and lafteth forty 
years, cverr till feven months after his death, 
when the ark was brought back again. 

Samfon, the Nazarite, as an angel had fore- 
[told, is born at Zorah. 
I Whilft Eli the high prieft executeth the of- 
fice of a judge in civil caufes, under the Phi- 
liftines, Samfon takes an occafion to quarrel 
with them, by marrying a woman of Timnath; 
for having on the day of his betrothing, pro- 
pounded a riddle to the Philiftines, and laid 
a wager, his wife tells them the meaning of 
it. Enraged hereat, he goes and flays thirty

men of Afkelon, and gives them the fuits o 
raiment which he had ftripped off their bodies, 
in performance of the wager which he had 
loft, and returns home to his father. 

Samfon again in harveft time goes to pre- 
fent his wife with a kid at her father's houfe, 
but finds her given away in marriage to anoth 
er man ; Samfon refolves to be revenged ; he 
catcheth 300 foxes, and tying firebrands to 
their tails, turns them all into the cornfields 
of the Philiftines, and into their vineyards and 
olive gardens, and fets them all on fire. The 
Philiftines vake Samfon's wife and father in 
law, and burn them; Samfon, in revenge, flays 
a great multitude of them, and fits down upon 
the rock Etam, from whence, being taken by 
3000 of the Jews, and by them delivered into 
the hands of the Philiftines, he flays of them a 
thoufand men with the jawbone of an afs j in 
which place he is miraculoufly refrefhed when 
thirfty and ready to faint. 

Samfon is betrayed by Delilah his concu- 
bine, bereaved of the hair of his Nazaritefhip, 
and delivered to the Philiftines ; who put out 
his eyes, and bind him with chains of brafs. 
The Philiftines gather together to offer facri- 
fice to Dagon their god, and Samfon is brought 
to make them fport ; whofe hair being grown* 
and his ftrength in a great meafure reftored, 
he takes hold of the two chief pillars whereon 
the houfe ftood, (wherein were the princes of 
the Philiftines, and a great multitude of peo- 
ple,) and pulls down the houfe, killing more 
men at his death than he did in all his lifetime. 
So he died, having judged Ifrael in the days 
of the Philiftines twenty years. 

The Ifraelites take up arms againft the Phil- 
iftines, but with very ill fuccefs, for they lofe 
4000 men in one battle. Then they fend for 
the ark of the covenant from Shiloh, and caufe 
it to be brought into the camp. The Philif- 
tines, feeing now all lie at ftake, encourage 
one another to behave themfelves like men 
that day, and fo falling on, they flay of the If- 
raelites 30,000 men. The ark of God is taken, 
and Hophni and Phinehas, priefts, and fons of 
Eli, are flain. Of all which, when tidings are 
brought to old Eli, frightened thereat, he falls 
from his feat, and breaks his neck, in the 98th 
year of his age. 

The Philiftines, having brought the ark into 
Afhdod, fet it in the houfe of Dagon their 
god. But when Dagon had been found two 
feveral times fallen groveling before it, and 
broken in pieces, and the inhabitants of the 
place forely plagued, they remove it from thence 
to Gath, and from thence to Ekron. But 
the fame plagues and judgments following 
wherever it went, after feven months, by the 
advice of their priefts, they fend home the 
ark again, with prefents and gifts into the land 
of the Ifraelites, and it is brought to Beth 
fhemefh ; where 50,070 men are fmitten for 
looking into the ark. From hence it is car- 
ried

•carried to the houfe of Abinadab in Kirjath- 
jearlrn, who fanctified his fori Eleazar to 
keep it. 

After twenty years the Ifraelites, by Sam- 
uel's perfuafion, folemnly repent at Mizpeh, 
and, upon their converfion, God, by thunder 
from heaven, delivers them from the invafion 
of the Philiftines, "who are fubdUed, the hand 
ci the Lord being againft them all the days of 
Samuel. 

Samuel, being grown old, takes for his af- 
fiftants in the government his Ions \ by whofe 
ill management of affairs the Ifraelites require 
a king to be given them ; whereupon God 
gives them a king in his wrath, to wit, Saul 
the fon of Kifh, after Samuel had judged 
Ifrael twenty one years. Saul is privately 
anointed by Samuel, and -afterward publicly 
proclaimed king at Mizpeh. About a month 
after, Jabefhgilead is belieged by Nahafh king 
of the Ammonites, and the fiege raifed by 
Saul ; whereupon the whole congregation of 
Ifrael, coming together at Gilgal, again pro- 
claim Saul king. 

David the fon of Jeffe the Ephrathite, born 
at Bethlehemjudah, 30 years before he fuc- 
ceeded Saul in the kingdom. He was his 
father's youngeft fon. 

God rejects Saul, and fends Samuel to Beth- 
lehem, there to anoint David Icing, whom Saul 
ever after extremely perfecuteth. 

Yet Jonathan, Saul's fon, loveth him, and 
oftentimes refcueth him from Saul's cruelty. 

David having Saul twice in his power, for- 
bears to hurt him. 

David, fearing he may fome time or other 
fall into the hands of Saul, flees to Gath unto 
king Achifh, carrying with him 600 men ; and, 
having obtained of him the town of Ziklag to 
dwell in, he continueth one year and four 
months in the land of the Philiftines, from 
whence he invadeth the countries of the Ge- 
fhurites, Gezrites, and Amalekites, and puts 
to the fword all, both men and women, not 
leaving one alive to carry the news thereof 
to king Achifh. 

Achifh, propofing to make war upon the 
Ifraelites, takes David along with him in that 
expedition, to whom, wnilft he is upon his 
march with his 6co men, repair a great many 
others of the tribe of Manaffeh, and join with 
him. . 

Saul, feeing the army of the Philiftines, is 
in great fear, and (Samuel being now dead) i 
goes to Endor, to confult with a witch there ; 
the woman raifeth an apparition of Samuel, 
and Saul receives from it that dreadful doom, 
The Lord will deliver Ifrael, together with 
thyfelf, into the hands of the Philiftines. 

The princes of the Philiftines growing 
jealous of David, he and his company, early 
the next morning, leave the army, and return 
to Ziklag.

and he himfelf falls on his own fword. 

Three days after, an Arhaleklte brings 
Saul's crown, and the bracelet that was upon, 
his arm, and prefents them to David, profef- 
fing that, finding him fallen upon his fword, 
he had killed him outright, and taken the 
crown from off his head ; whereupon David 
caufeth him to be put to death for ftretching 
forth his liand to flay the Lord's anointed, and 
lamenteth the death of Saul and Jonathan his 
fon in a funeral fong. David, having afked 
counfel of God, goes up to Hebron with thofe' 
that are about him, where he is anointed king 
by the men of Judah, his own tribe, in the 
thirtieth year of his age, and there he reigns 
feven years and fix months.

and there makes him 
Ifrael. 

After two years there arife frequent and 
mortal fkirmifhes between a party of men on 
David's fide, headed by Joab, David's nephew, 
and another party on Ifhbofheth's fide where- 
of Abner is chief; but the former ftill grows 
ftron^er and ftronger. 

Abner, affronted by Ifhbofheth, revolteth 
to David, and deals with the chief men of 
Ifrael to transfer the whole kingdom unto 
him, artd this in the hearing of tk,e Benja- 
mites. 

He comes to DaVid and is kindly receiv- 
ed ; returning) he is treacheroufly murdered 
by Joab. David much laments his untimely 
death, and buries him at Hebron. 

Baanah arid Rechab murder their lord and 
mafter Ifhbofheth, as he lieth refting himfelf 
upon his bed. They bring his head to David, 
who, in deteftation of their treafon, caufeth 
them immediately to be put to death. 

The captains and elders of all the tribes, 
coming to Hebron, anoint David a third time, 
and make him king over all Ifrael. 

David with all Ifrael marcheth to Jerufa- 
lem agairift the Jebufites, and taketh the fort 
of Zion, and calls it The city of David ; and 
making Jerufalem the feat of his kingdom, 
reigneth there over all Ifrael thirty three 
years.

in war ; but by his fon Solomon, a man of 
peace, which fhould be born unto him. The 
time which paiTedfrom hence till the birth of 
Solomon is fpent in wars ; wherein David fub- 
dues the Philiftines, Edomites, Amalekites, 
Moabites, Ammonites, and Syrians, and ex- 
tends his kingdom to the utmoft bound of that 
land which had been promifed to the feed of 
Abraham, and never poffeffed by any of them, 
fave only by David, and his fon Solomon. 

At the end of this year, Joab, going with the 
army againft the Ammonites, befiegeth Kab- 
bah, the metropolis of Ammon, whilft David 
takes his eafe at Jerufalem, and there com- 
mits adultery with Bathfheba the wife of 
Uriah the Hittite, who was then in the army, 
whom he alfo procures to be flain. 

The child lb gotten in adultery is born. 
David is convicl'ed by Nathan the prophet of 
his fin, and he repents ; in teftimony whereof 
he compofeth the 51ft pfalm. The child dieth. 
Bathfheba becomes now David's wife, and 
beareth him a fon, unto whom, as unto one 
who fhould prove a man of peace, God gives 
the name of Solomon ; and, as to one beloved 
of the Lord, the name of Jedidiah. 

Amnon, David's eldeftfon, defloureth his 
fifter Tamar. 

Abfalom avengeth his fifter Tamar, and 
killeth his brother Amnon ; for which thing 
he fleeth to Gefhur in Syria, where he con- 
tinues three years with king Talmai, his 
grandfather by the mother's fide. 

After three years' exile, he returns to Je- 
rufalem, where he continues two years, be- 
fore the king his father admits him into his 
prefence, and is reconciled to him. 

This rebel fon, having got chariots and 
horfes, and a guard to attend him, infinuates 
himfelf into the favour of the people, and fteals 
away their hearts from his father David. 

The next year following, under pretence of 
a vow, he obtaineth leave to go to Hebron, 
where, by Ahithophel's counfel, he breaks out 
into open rebellion, and forceth his father to 
flee from Jerufalem. 

Ahithophel, becaufe his counfel in all mat- 
ters is not followed by Abfalom, hangs himfelf. 
Abfalom, having loft 20,000 men, fleeth, 
and a bough of an oak catching hold of him, 
he. there hangs and is run through by Joab. 

David, tempted by Satan, commandeth 
Joab to number the people ; God, offended 
thereat, fends a prophet to put three plagues 
to his choice, viz. the famine, fword, or pef- 
tilence. David choofeth to fall into the hands 
of a merciful God, rather than into the hands 
of men. So God fends a peftilence ; whereof 
70,000 men die in one day. The angel being 
about tc deftroy Jerufalem, God bids him 
hold his hand ; for he beholds David repent- 
ing in fackcloth, and entreating him to fpare 
the innocent people, and to turn his hand 
upon himfelf, and upon his father's houfe.

Fifib Age of the World. 

Rehoboam is born unto Solomon by Naa- 
roah an Ammonitifh woman. 

David being now 70 years of age, and brok- 
en with continual cares and wars, grows fo 
weak and feeble that clothes can no longer 
preferve heat in him. Therefore, Abifiiag, 
a young virgin, is appointed to keep him 
warm. Adonijah, feeing his father thus de- 
clining, by the aftiftance of Joab and Abiathar, 
makes himfelf king ; which David underftand- 
ing, he prefently commands Zadok the prieft, 
and Nathan the prophet, with other great 
men, to anoint Solomon king. Adonijah 
hearing this, betakes himfelf to the fanctuary, 
and is pardoned. 

David, having, given inftructions to his fon 
Solomon, dieth, after he had reigned in He- 
bron feven years and fix months, and thirty 
three years in Jerufalem over all Ifrael. 

Pharaoh, king of Egypt, gives his daughter 
in marriage to Solomon. 

The Lord appears to Solomon in a dream,, 
and bids him alk what he will, and it fhall be 
given him. Solomon afketh wifdom ; God 
gives him wifdom from above, and adds there- 
unto riches and honour. Of this divine wif- 
dom Solomon makes an eminent manifefta.- 
tion in judging between, two harlots. 

The Fifth Age of the World. 
OLOMON layeth the foundation of the 
temple, in the 480th year after the depart- 
ure of the children of Ifrael out of Egypt. 

Solomon's temple finiihed in the 1 ith year 
of his reign, having been feven years and an 
half in building. 

Solomon this year, (being the ninth jubi- 
lee, and opening the fourth millenary of the 
world,) with great magnificence celebrates the 
dedication of the temple ; at which time God

he had been too intemperately addicted, and

40 years.

duced to revolt from him, he devifeth a new 
form of religion, fetting up two golden calves, 
the one at Bethel, the other at Dan, for the 
feduced people to bow down unto. 

From the time of this difmal rent, Reho- 
boarn reigneth over Judah and Benjamin 17 
years, and Jeroboam over Ifrael, or the other 
ten tribes, 22 years. 

The priefts and Levites, and other Ifrael- 
ites who feared God, ftick to Rehoboam, 
and maintain the kingdom of Judah three 
years ; after which time Rehoboam falls to 
idolatry, and walketh no more in the ways of 
David and Solomon. 

Jeroboam facrifking to his calf at Bethel, 
a prophet is fent unto him from God, who 
foretels the judgment which fhould one day 
be executed upon that altar, and the priefts,. 
(viz. thofe whom Jeroboam had made of the 
loweft of the people) that ferved at it. Which 
prophecy then and there is confirmed by figns 
and wonders upon the king himfelf, and upon 
the altar. 

Shifhak king of Egypt fpoileth Jerufalem 
and the temple ; but the king and the princes, 
repenting at the preaching of Shemaiah the 
prophet, God gives them not over to utter 
deftruction. 

Abijam, the fon of Rehoboam, fucceeds his 
father in the kingdom cf Judah, and reigns 
three years. 

He obtains a -great victory over Jeroboam, 
killeth 500,000 men in one battle, and taketh 
Bethel. 

Afa, in the twentieth year of Jeroboam, 
fucceeds his father Abijam, and reigns 4 1 
years. 

Nadab, in the fecond year of Afa, fucceed- 
eth his father Jeroboam in the kingdom of 
Ifrael, and reigneth not full two years. 

Nadab, at the fiege of Gibbethon (a town 
of the Philiftines) is flain by Baafha, of the 
tribe of IfTachar, in the third year of Afa ; and 
the fame year, having made himfelf king over 
Ifrael, he utterly deftroyeth the whole race 
of Jeroboam, and reigneth 24 years. At this 
time lived the prophets Jehu, Hanani, and 
Azarias. 

Afa deftroyeth idolatry, and enjoying ten 
years of peace, ftrengthens his kingdom with 
forts and a ftanding army. 

Zerah the Ethiopian, with an innumerable 
army, invadeth Judah : Afa overcomes him, 
facrificeth to God of the fpoil, and maketh a 
folemn covenant with God. He alfo depofeth 
Maachah, his grandmother, a great patronefs 
of idolatry ; bringeth into the temple thofe 
things which his father and himfelf had con- 
fecrated unto God, and enjoys a long peace. 

Elah, the fon of Baafha, fucceeds his father i 
in the kingdom of Ifrael.

he deftroyeth the whole family of Baafh ; • 
but the army which then lay before Gibbethon 
make Omri their king, who prefently bc- 
fiegeth Tirzah, and taketh it ; which Zimri 
feeing, he fets on fire the king's palace, and 
perifheth in the flames. 

The people of Ifrael are now divided into 
two factions ; one follows Tibni the fon of Gi- 
nath, and endeavours to make him king., the 
other adheres to Omri ; but Tibni dying, 
Omri reigns alone, in the thirty firft year of 
Afa. 

Omri, having reigned fix years in Tirzah, 
removes the feat of his kingdom to Samaria, 
a place which he himfelf had built. 

Ahab fucceeds his father in the kingdom of 
Tfrael, and reigneth 22 years in Samaria. He 
lid evil in the fight of the Lord above all that 
were before him. 

Jehofhaphat fucceedcth his father Afa, irt 
the fourth year of Ahab king of Ifrael, and 
reigneth 25 years in Jerufalem. ' 

Jehofhaphat, being fettled in his kingdom, 
and having demolifhed the high places and 
groves, in the third year of his reign he fends 
Levites, with the princes to inftrucc the peo- 
ple in the law. God in the mean time fubduetlt 
his enemies under him. 

Benhadad king of Syria layeth fiege to Sa- 
maria, who, by the direction of a prophet, is 
beaten off, and a vaft number of the Syrians 
flain. 

Ahab, not being able to perfuade Naboth 
to fell him his vineyard, falls fick upon it ; 
Jezebel his wife, fuborning falfe witnefTes to 
accufe Naboth of blafphemy, caufeth him to 
be ftoned, and puts the king in poffcflion of 
the vineyard ; whereupon the prophet Elijah 
denounceth judgments againft Ahab and Jez- 
ebel. Wicked Ahab repenting, God defers 
the judgment. 

Ahab, in the 17th year of the reign of Je- 
hofhaphat, maketh his fon Ahaziah his aflb- 
ciate in the government of his kingdom. 

Jehofhaphat alfo maketh Jehoram his foil 
copartner with him ; whence it is, that Jeho- 
ram the fon of Ahab, whofucceeded his brother 
Ahaziah in thej kingdom of Ifrael, in the 
1 8th year of Jehofhaphat king of Judah, is 
faid to have begun his reign in the fecond yeac, 
of Jehoram the fon of Jehofhaphat. 

Ahab having got Jehofhaphat to affift him 
in the fiege of Ramothgilead, before he goes, 
he afketh counfel of 400 falfe prophets, who 
promile him victory and fuccefs •, but by Je-

i>( God, is confulted, who foretels his over-

Ahaziah king of Ifrael lying ill of a fall, 
fends to confult Baalzebub, the god of Ekron, 
concerning his recovery. Elijah the prophet 
meeteth the meffenger, and telleth him Aha- 
ziah fhall furely die ; whereupon two captains 
over fifty men apiece are fent to apprehend 
him, and bring him before the king. Elijah 
calleth for fire from heaven, and deftroyeth 
both them and their companies. A third 
captain with his fifty men being lint, and be- 
having himfelf fubmiffiveiy. Elijah goes along 
with him ; the prophet certifies the king that 
he fhall not come down from his bed alive... 
So Ahaziah dieth> having governed (partly by 
himfelf, and partly together with his father) 
'two years. 

Jehoram fucceedeth his brother Ahaziah in 

the kingdom of Ifrael, in the latter end of 

the 1 8th year of Jehofhaphat, and reigneth 

twelve years. 

Elijah is taken upintoheayen in a fiery chariot. 

Jehefhaphat grown old, gives to his fons 
many gifts, with fenced cities, in Judea : but 
his eldeft fon Jehoram he now more absolute- 
ly invefteth with the throne of the kingdom, 
in the fifth year of Jehoram king of Ifrael. 

Jehoram now, by the death of his father, has 
the kingdom of Judah to himfelf, which he 
holds four years. He is no fooner fettled in 
his throne, but he puts all his brethren to t&e 
fword, with many of the princes of Ifrael. At 
this time the Edomites, who, ever fince king 
David's time, had lived in fubjedtion to Judah, 
revolt, and (as it was foretold by Ifaac) they 
for ever fhake off his^ yoke. Ljbnah alfo, a 
city of the priefts, in the tribe of Judah, falls 
off from him about this time. 

Jehoram, following the counfel of his wick- 
ed wife Athaliah, the daughter of Ahab king 
of Ifrael, fets up in Judah, and even in Jerufa- 
lem itfelf, the idolatrous worfhip of Baal, and 
compels his fubjecls thereto •, a letter, which 
was left for him by Elijah the prophet, comes 
to his hands, which reproves him, and de- 
nounces all thofe calamities and punifhments 
which afterwards befel him.. 

Ahaziah fucceeds his father in the kingdom, 
of Judah (having had part of the government 
beftowed upon him the year before) in the 1 2th 
year of Jehoram king of Ifrael, and reigneth 
one year in Jerufalem. 

Jehoram king of Ifrael, and Ahaziah king 
of Judah, lead their armies to Ramothgilead 
againft Hazael, who had newly fucceeded Ben- 
hadad in the kingdom of Syria ; Jehoram is 
dangeroufly wounded, and retires himfelf to 
Jezreel to be curecL In the mean time Elifha 
fendeth a young prophet with instructions to 
anoint Jehu the fon of Jehofhaphat, the fon of 
Nimfhi, at Ramothgilead, king over Ifrael, 
and to open to him the will of God, for the 
rooting out of the houfe of Ahab ; who being 
proclaimed king by the foldiers, marcheth

He difpatcheth letters alfo to Samaria, and 
caufeth fev.enty of Ahab's children to be be- 
headed. Then taking with him Jehonadab 
the fon of Rechab he comes himfelf to Sama- 
ria, and deftroys the whole family of Ahab 
and all the priefts of Baah. Neverthelefs, hav- 
ing put down the worfhip of Baal, he departs 
not from the worfhip of Jeroboam's golden 
calves, but maintains that idolatry all the time 
of his reign, which was 28 years. 

Jehu proceeds farther, and executes the di- 
vine vengeance upon the idolatrous houfe of 
Judah; he purfues Ahaziah, who fled to- 
wards Megiddo, and overtaking him at Gur r 
caufeth him to be killed in his chariot. Going 
alfo to Samaria, he meeteth with forty two of 
Ahaziah's kinfmen, whom he caufeth to be 
(lain. 

Athaliah the daughter of Ahab, feeing her 
fon Ahaziah dead, ufurps the kingdom, de-. 
ftroying thofe that had right to the fucceffion ;. 
but Jehofheba the daughter of king Jehoram, 
and wife to Jehoiada the high prieft, takes Je- 
hoafh, being then an infant, and fon to her 
.brother Ahaziah, and hides him in the temple,, 
and fo faves him from that maffacre which was 
made of the reft of the blood royal.. 

Jehoiada the high prieft brings out Jehoafh,. 
nowfeven years old, and anoints him king;, 
caufeth Athaliah to be flain, and reftoreth, the 
worfhip of the true God, deftroyingthe houfe 
of Baal, and commanding the idolatrous prieft 
Mattan to be killed before his altars. Jehoafh. 
now beginning his reign in the feventh year of' 
Jehu, reigneth 40 years in Jerufalem. 

Jehoafh, in the 23d year of his reign, givetlv 
order for the'repair of the temple, committing 
the charge thereof to Jehoiada. the high prieft. 

Jehoahaz fucceedeth his-father Jehu in the 
kingdom of Ifrael, and reigneth feventeen 
years ; during all which time Hazael king of 
Syria oppreffeth him, and exercifeth all thofe 
cruelties upon the Ifraeli'ces which Elifha the 
prophet had foretold^ 

Jehoafh the fon of Jehoahaz king of Ifrael,. 
is taken into the confortfhip of that kingdom 
by his father^ in the 27th year of Jehoafh king, 
of Judah, and reigneth 16 years. 

Zachsriah, the fon of Jehoiada the high 
prieft, for reproving the people of Judah who 
had fallen to idolatry after the deceafe of Je- 
hoiada, is ftoned to death in the court of the 
houfe of the Lord, by the commandment of 
king Jehoafh, who the next year after is mur- 
dered by fome of his. fervants as he lay in his 
bed, and Amaziah his fon fucceedeth him. 

Jehoahaz- dieth, and Jehoafh his fon fuc- 
ceedeth in the kingdom of Ifrael. Not long 
after his. father's funeral, he vifits Elifha the

Jeroboam the fecond is this year taken into 
the eonfortfhip of the kingdom of Ifrael by 
his father Jehoafh, going to war againft the 
Syrians. This is gathered from Azariah king 
ofjudah's beginning his reign in the 27th 
year of this Jeroboam. 

Amaziah, king of Judah, growing proud 
upon a victory obtained againft the Edomites 
this 14th year of his reign, provoketh Jehoafh. 
king of Ifrael to battle. Jehoafh. overcomes 
him, and takes him prifoner, breaks down 400 
cubits of the wall of lerufalem ; and, having 
fpoiled the temple and the king's, houfe of a 
vaft treafure, returns to Samaria. 

Jehoafh dies fifteen years before Amaziah, 
and Jeroboam the fecond, his fon, reigneth in 
Samaria 41 years. 

Amaziah, finding a confpiracy againft him 
at Jerufalem, dies to Lachifh, where he is 
murdered. 

After whom comes his fon Uzziah, or Aza- 
/iah, in the 27th year of Jeroboam the fecond, 
and reigneth 5 2 years in Jerufalem. 

Now is- held the thirteenth jubilee under 
the two moft fLourifhing kings ; in whofe times 
live fundry great prophets in both kingdoms ; 
Ifaiah and Joel in Judah ; Jonas,. Hofea, and 
Amos, in IfraeL 

Jonas of Gathhepher, a town belonging to 
the tribe of Zebulun in Galilee of the Gentiles, 
(obferve here the blindnefs of the Pharifees, 
John vli. 52.) was afterwards fent unto Nine- 
veh, the metropolis of Affyria, where both 
king and people, at his preaching, repented. 

Jeroboam king of Ifrael (under whom that 
kingdom came to its full height of glory) 
dieth ; after his death all things fall into con- 
iufion, and the ftate is reduced to. a plain an- 
archy, which lafteth eleven years and an half •, 
for iiich an interregnum or vacancy, the fyn- 
chronifm of kings requires, that the fix months 
of Zachariah the fon of Jeroboam may anfwer 
the thirty eight years and one month of 
Shallum, who murdered him in the thirty 
ninth year of Azariah, or Uzziah, king of Ju- 
dah. 

Zachariah, the fon of Jeroboam, the fourth 
andlaftofthe race of Jehu, (as was foretold,) 
begins his reign over Ifrael in the 38th year 
of Azariah, .or Uzziah, king of Judah, and 
reigneth fix months. 

Shallum, the fon of Jabefh, at the end of 
fix months, murders him in the fight of the 
people, and reigns one month in the 39th year 
of Uzzi?.h king of Judah. Af.er Zachariah's 
death follow thofe direful calamities foretold 
by Amos the prophet.

wards reigneth quietly ten years. 

Pekakiah fucceedeth his father Menahem, 
in the fiftieth year of Uzziah king of Judah, 
and reigneth two years. 

Pekah, one of his captains, kills him in his 
own palace at Samaria, and reigneth 20 years. 

Jotham fucceedeth his father Uzziah in the 
kingdom of Judah, at the age of 25 years, and 
reigneth 1.6 years in Jerufalem. 

Jotham fubdues the Ammonites and makes 
them tributary for three years. Under him 
and his two fucceffors, the prophets Micah and 
Hofea execute their prophetical office. About 
this time lived the prophet Nahum, and proph- 
efied the deftruction of Nineveh. 

Ahaz fucceedeth his father Jotham, in the 
1 7th year of Pekah king of Ifrael, and reigneth 
i<5 years ^ 

This year Rezin king of Syria, and Pekah. 
king of Ifrael, are confederate againft Judah, 
which ftrike* a great terror into that nation ; 
but unto Ahaz, God, by the prophet Ifaiah, 
fends a gracious meffage, with a promife of 
deliverance ; for a fign whereof (when the in- 
credulous king, being bid to afk a fign, refuied 
to do it) God gives him the promife of Imman- 
uel to be born of a virgin. Rezin and Pekah 
now lay fiege to Jerufalem, a»d therein to Ahaz,, 
but are beaten off. Ahaz is no fooner deliv- 
ered from his «nemies, but he forfakes God 
his deliverer, and falls to idolatry. "Where- 
fore God gives him over into the hands of the 
king of Ifrael, who flays of the men of Judah 
120,000 in one day, with a great many of the 
nobility, and carrieth away 200, oco captives ; 
but thefe, by the advice of the prophet Odcd, 
are releafed and fent home. 

Hofhea the ion of Elah murders Pekah king 
of Ifrael, and gets the kingdom into his own 
hands : it is {aid in the 20th year of Jotham, 
that is, from the time that Totbam firft began to 
reign, which is the fame with the 4th of Ahaz 
his fon. Hofhea, by reafon of the tumults 
and diforders which enfued, cannot be faid to 
have reigned till nine years after, the ftatc 
continuing ail that time in great confufion, 
without any form of government. 

Shalmanefer, king of Affyria, comes up a- 
gainft Hofhea, and makes him to ferve him, 
and pay him tribute. 

Hezekiah fucceed.th his father Ahaz in the 
kingdom of Judah •, he dcfrroyith idolatry, 
and profpers ; he alfo celebrates a folemn pafi- 
over, and reigneth twenty nine years in Jeru-

year of his reign, his afiiftant in the govern- 
ment.

Shalmanefer layeth fiege to Samaria, and to- 
wards the latter end of the third year taketh 
it, and carrieth away the Ifraelites captive 
into his own country. This was the end of 
the kingdom of Ifrael, when it had flood di- 
vided from the kingdom of Judah 254 years. 

Sennacherib king of Afiyria, coming up 
againft Judah, befiegeth their fenced cities, 
and taketh many of them, but is pacified by a 
tribute. 

About this time Hezekiah falls lick, and is 
told by Ifaiah that he fhall die ; but pouring 
out his tears and prayers unto God, he recov- 
ereth his health, and obtaineth a prolonga- 
tion of his life and kingdom for fifteen years. 
For a fign whereof the fun goes ten degrees 
backward. 

Sennacherib, not obferving the articles of 
peace, layeth fiege to Jerufalem, and fendeth 
a blafphemous letter to Hezekiah ; which he 
opening, and fpreading before the Lord in the 
temple, with many tears, craves affiftance from 
God againft the Aflyrians. Whereupon the 
prophet Ifaiah affures him that God will de- 
liver him, and defend that city. The felfsame 
night an angel of the Lord flays 185,000 men 
in the Affyrian army, and the next morning 
Sennacherib departeth, and returns to Nine- 
veh ; where not long after, whilft he is wor- 
shipping in the houfe of Nifroch his god, he 
is flain by his own fons. 

Manafleh at twelve years of age fucceedeth 
his father Hezekiah, and reigneth 55 years. 
He fets up idolatry, and fheddeth much inno- 
cent blood. Wherefore God delivers him 
up into the hands of the Aflyrians, who, in 
the 2 ad year of his reign, carry him away

God reftores him to his liberty and kingdom. 

This year Nabuchodonofor king of Affyria, 
purpofing to make himfelf univerfal monarch, 
fends Holofernes, his general, againft Judea, 
who layeth fiege to Bethulia, and there hath 
his head taken off by Judith, a woman of the 
tribe of Simeon. 

Amon, aged 22 years, fucceedeth his fa- 
ther Manafleh, and reigneth two years ; an 
idolater indeed as his father, but no penitent : 
he is murdered by his own fervants. 

Jofiah, a child of eight years old, fucceedeth 
his father Amon, and reigneth 3 1 years. In 
his time lived Jeremiah and Zephaniah the 
prophets, and Huldah the prophetefs. 

In the twelfth year of his reign he begins 
a reformation in Judah and Jerufalem, and 
carries it on fuccefsfully. 

This year he giveth order for the repair of

the altar at Bethel, as was foretold 5 and keep, 
eth a moft folemn paflbver. 

^ At this time a war breaks out between th 
king of Egypt and the king of Afiyria. Jofiah 
unadvifedly engageth in this war againft Ne 
cho king of Egypt, and is flain in the valley of 
Megiddo. The good king being thus taken j 
out of the world, whofe life only kept off the 
Babylonifh captivity from that nation, not 
only the people then "living bewailed his death 
but even in after time a public mourning fo: 
him was kept. The prophet Jeremy alfo, in 
remembrance thereof, compofeth his Lamen- .' 
tations, wherein bewailing the calamitie 
which were fhortly to befal that people, as 
prefent before his eyes, in a moft companion 
ate manner he points as it were with his fing 
at the death of Jofiah, as the fource and orig- 
inal of all thofe enfuing miferies. 

After the death of Jofiah the people anoint 
Shallum, one of his younger fons, to be their 
king. After three months' reign, he is depof- 
ed by Pharaohnecho, who makes Eliakinx 
his elder brother, king over Judah and Jeru- 
falem, and changes his name into Jehoiakim 
but Jehoahaz he carries along with him cap- 
tive into Egypt, where he ends his days. 

Jehoiakim at 25 years of age begins to reign 
and he reigneth 1 1 years. 

Uriah and Jeremiah prophefy againft Je^ 
rufalem ; the former is put to death, the latter 
is acquitted, and fet at liberty. About this 
time Habakkuk alfo prophefieth. 

This year is Nebuchadnezzar the Great 
made by his father Nebopolazzar his aflbci 
ate in the kingdom of Afiyria and Babylon, 
into whofe hands God delivers up Jehoiakim, 
who is put in chains to be carried -to Babylon 
but, upon his fubmifiion, and promifes of obe- 
dience, is left in his own houfe, where he live 
a fervant to Nebuchadnezzar three years, 
From which entering of the king and people 
of the Jews into the fubjedlrion and fervice oJ 
Nebuchadnezzar are the 70 years of the cap, 
tivity of Babylon to be reckoned, which were 
foretold by the prophet Jeremiah. 

Nebuchadnezzar gives order to Afhpenaz 
mafter of the eunuchs, that he fhall carry fro 
thence of the children of Ifrael, both of th< 
blood royal, (as was foretold by the prophet 
Ifaiah to Hezekiah,) and alfo of the nobility, 
the choiceft youths, both for beauty and wit 
that he can find ; who,' being educated three 
years in the language and fciences of the ChaL 
deans, may afterwards be fit to ferve the king 
in his palace, among whom, of the tribe or

nezzar's reign, taking it as it began at his | 
father's death) Daniel hath Nebuchadnezzar's j 
dream revealed to him, and interprets it to 1 
betoken the four chief monarchies; where- 
upon he and his companions are highly ad- j 
vanced. 

Nebuchadnezzar fends an army, confifting ! 
2 ' of Chaldeans, Syrians, Moabites, and Ammon- 
ites, againft Jehoiakim : thefe wafte the whole j 
country of Judea. and carry away from thence j 
3023 captives, Jehoiakim alfo is taken prifon- 
er ; whom they put to death, caufe his carcafs \ 
to be drawn out at the gate of Jerufalem, (as 
was foretold by the prophet Jeremiah,) and 
leave it without the walls unburied. 

Jehoiachin (called alfo Coniah and Jeconias) 
at eighteen years of age fucceeds his father j 
Jehoiakim, and reigns three months in Jeru- j 
falem. 

Againft him Nebuchadnezzar leads an ar- 
my, and befiegeth Jerufalem : Jehoiachin with ' 
all his kindred and courtiers come out to meet 
him. Nebuchadnezzar makes them all prif- 
oners, enters Jerufalem, and tak es all the 
treafure he can find in the temple and the 
king's palace, breaking in pieces all the veffels 
of gold and furniture which Solomon had 
made for the temple ; he carrieth away captive ' 
to Babylon, the king, his mother, wives, ' 
courtiers, magiftrates, and ten thoufand able ■ 
men out of Jerufalem, leaving none behind J 
but the poorer fort of people ; and out of the 
country round about he carried alfo away eight 
t i thoufand artificers ; among the captives are 
Mordecai, and Ezekiel the prieft ; Ezekiel 
therefore in his prophecy reckons the time all 
along from the beginning of this captivity. 
An epiftle, faid to be Jeremiah's, is now lent 
to the captives, admonifhing them to beware 
of the idolatry whichtheyfhall fee in Babylon. 
Nebuchadnezzar, before his departure from 
Jerufalem, makes Mattaniah, Jchoiachin's fa-

lem, and the whole nation of the Jews, thofe 
long deferved calamities which God had fo 
often forewarned them of by his prophets ; 
for in the latter end of the 1 ith year of Zede- 
kiah, Jerufalem, after a long fiege, is taken by 
Nebuchadnezzar, and his Chaldeans enter it. 
Zedekiah flees away by night, but being pur- 
iued, is taken, and brought prifoner to Rib- 
Iah, Nebuchadnezzar's head quarter's ; there, 
having firft feen his children flaughtered be- 
fore his eyes, he has afterwards thofe eyes put 
out ; and being loaden with chains, is carried 
away captive to Babylon. About a month 
after the taking of the city, Nebuzaradan 
captain of the guard, fent by Nebuchadnez- 
zar, makes his entry into it, fets fire to the 
temple, the king's palace, and fome noble- 
men's houfes, and fo layeth the whole city in 
allies ; the walls of Jerufalem being razed to 
the ground, all that were left in the city, and 
thofe that a little before had fallen to the 
Chaldeans, with what treafure he can find, 
doth Nebuzaradan carry with him into Baby- 
lon. 

And thus was Judah carried out of her own 
land, 468 years after David began to reign 
over it, 388 years after the falling off of the 
ten tribes, and 134 years after the deff.rucl.ion 
of the kingdom of Ifrael. 

Obadiah the prophet denounceth God's 
judgments againft the Edomites, who now 
infult over the calamity of the Jews. The 
fame do Jeremy and Ezekiel, and the author 
of the 79th and 137th Pialms, who all wrote 
about the fame time.

NEBUCHADNEZZAR, proud of his 
victories over Egypt, and his conqueft 
of Judea, and other countries, and bbafting 
the magnificence of his buildings, falls dif- 
fracted, and is driven from the focicty of 
men. 

After feven years fpent among the- beafts 
of the field, his understanding returning to 
him, he humbly acknowledged the power of 
God, and his goodnefs toward him ; and is 
reftored to his kingdom. A few days after 
he dies, having reigned about twenty nionihs 
together with his father, and forty three years 
by himfelf. 

Evilmerodach, his fon, fucceeds him in 
the 37th year of the captivity of Jehoiachin, 
or Jeconiah, who prcfently gives order for 
the enlargement of Jehoiachin, and tiwo days 
after changeth his prifon clothes, fcts him 
above all the princes of his court, and caufeth 
him to eat at his own table, jehoiachin dies 
about two years after.

king's reign, Daniel ha3 the v'ifion of the four 
beafts, Signifying the four monarchies of the 
world, and of God's delivering over all power 
and fovereignty to the Son of man. 

In the third year of Belfhazzar, Daniel 
receives the vifion-of the ram and he goat, be- 
tokening the deftruction of the Perfian mon- 
archy, and the great mifery which Antiochus 
fhouid bring upon the people of God. 

This year Belfhazzar makes a great feafl 
for ah his nobles, and caufeth to be brought 
forth all the veffels of the houfe of the Lord, 
which -Nebuchadnezzar his grandfather had 
brought away from Jerufalem, to the glory 
of his idols, and dishonour of the true God. 
In the r»idft of all this jollity, a hand appears 
writing on the wall of the room in which the 
king and his numerous guefts fit drinking. — 
The king, greatly terrified hereat, fends for 
his Chaldean aftrologers and wizards, and 
commands them to read the writing, and give 
I him the interpretation of it ; but they not 
j being able to do either, Daniel is lent for, who 
I reads the writing and gives the king the in- 
terpretation of it ; whereupon Daniel is pub- 
I licly proclaimed the third man in the king- 
dom* The fame night Belfhazzar is flain, 
' Babylon taken by Cyrus, and the empire 
translated to the Medes and Perfians, as had 
been fundry times foretold by the prophets. 

Cyrus having given the kingdom of Babylon 
to Darius the Mede, referving fome palaces 
in the city for himfelf, he returns through 
Media into Perfia. 

Daniel's greatnefs railing envy in fome 
principal courtiers and officers, thefe con- 
trive his ruin ; but finding nothing in his 
management of affairs, whereof to accufe him, 
they refolve to order matters fo, that Daniel's 
piety towards God fhall become an offence 
worthy of death. They move the king to 
make a decree, that for thirty days no peti- 
tion fhall be made to any god or man, but to 
himfelf only. Which decree Daniel breaks, 
by making fupplication to his God, and is, 
for doing fo, caft into a den of lions ; but 
being found to have received no hurt there, 
Darius commands the confpirators to be caft 
into the fame den, who are prefently devour- 
ed ; and the king publifheth a decree, that all 
perfons throughout his dominions fhall rev- 
erence and fear the God of Daniel. 

Toward the end of the firft year of the 
reign of Darius the Mede, to be reckoned 
from the fubverfiort of the Babylonifii em- 
pire, begins the feventieth year of the captiv- 
ity of the Jews, which, by Jeremiah's prophe- 
cy, was to be the laft year of their calamity. 
Upon confideration of which time fo near at 
hand, Daniel pours out moffc fervent prayers 
to God for the remiffion of his own fins, and

uttering that memorable prophecy of 'the fev

Cyrus' father Cambyfes, and his father i 
law"Cayaxares, both dying, Perfia falls to him 
by inheritance, and Media by contract: 
marriage, and fo he is poflefTed of the whol 
Eaftern empire ; from which time, both Xen 
ophon (Instit. lib. %>) reckons the feven years 
of his reign, and the holy Scripture, out of the 
records of the Medes and Perfians, reck- 
ons this his firft year ; for it teacheth us, that 
in this year came forth that renowned edict 
of his, Thus faith Cyrus, king of Perfia, The 
Lord God of heaven hath given me all the 
kingdoms of the earth, and hath charged me 
to build him an houfe at Jerufalem, which is 
in Judah, &c. At which time the feventy 
years of the Babylonifii captivity being ex 
pired, (as -was foretold by Ifaiah and Jere> 
miah) the former making mention of Cyrus by 
name,) he gives leave to all the Jews dwell- 
ing in all parts of his dominions, to return 
into their own country? and commands tkem 
immediately to fall in hand with the rebuild 
ing of the temple. 

He reftoreth alfo all the vefTels of the houfe 
of God, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought 
from thence 5 and contributes towards the 
building. 

The Jews therefore return into their own 
country ; the poorer fort having allowance 
made them to defray their charges upon the 
way. The number of the children of the 
province, or Hebrews born in Chaldea, which, 
with their captain Zerubbabel, and their high 
prieft Jefhua, return out of captivity, is 
42,360, befide profelytes, menfervants, and 
maidfervants, to the number of 7337. Now, 
the particular fums of Ezra's catalogue being 
caft up, amount Only to 29,818, and thofe in 
Nehemiah's account make but 31,031, both 
which come far fhort of that univerfal fum of 
42,360 which at the bottom of each catalogue 
is faid to be the number of the whole congre- 
gation 5 wherefore the Hebrews, in the 29th 
chapter of their great Chronicle, tell us, that, 
to complete the fullfum of 42,360, we muft 
caft in thofe of the other ten tribes of Ifrael, 
who came up out of captivity with the Jews. 
For even till the laft extirpation of the Jewifh. 
Irate, there remained fome reliques of the 
other ten tribes, not only in the difperfion, and 
at jerufalem, and other cities of Judah, but 
alfo of thofe who kept ftillin their own feats ; 
for Shalmanefer fwept not away all out of the 
whole ten tribes, but left a remnant of .them 
in their own country, who were afterward, 
together with the Jews, Benjamites, and Le- 
vites," carried away by Nebuchadnezzar into 
Babylon, and are now difmifled and fent back 
again by Cyrus.

former, not 2s being a more magnificent ftruc- 
ture, but in regard the bleffed Meifiah fliall 
one day honour it with his prefence, and from 
thence propagate peace to all nations. 

About this time Zechariah the prophet ex- 
horteth the Jews to repentance. 

Ahafuerus puts away queen Vafhti his wife, 
and not long after efpoufeth Efther, the niece 
of Mordecai the Jew. 

In the fixth year of Darius, or Ahafuerus, J 
the temple is fmifhed ; the dedication whereof | 
is celebrated with great joy, and abundance 
of facrifices, the priefts and Levites, every 
one in his place, attending on the miniftry 
of the temple. The pafibver alfo is celebrat- 
ed. 

Haman, an Agagite, of the nice of the Am- 
alekites, a great favourite of king Ahafuerus, 
offended at Mordecai, becaufe he falls not 
down and adores him, as others do, refolves 
to be revenged of the whole nation of the j 
Jews, (which was ever averfe to his,) and to 
root it out : for the executing of which pur- 
pofe, that he may find a fuccefsful time, he 
caufeth Pur, that is, the Lot, to be caft before 
him, for to know the day and month wherein 
the Jews fliall be deftroyed ; and the lot falls 
on the twelfth month, Adar. 

Haman obtains an edict from the king, that 
all Jews, without refpect to lex or age, upon 
the 13th day of the month Adar, be put to 
death in all the provinces of the king's do- 
minions. Hereupon Mordecai, Efther, and 
all the Jews, humble themfelves before the 
Lord by fading and prayer.

to him by Mordecai, commandeth that he be |

Efther entertaining the king and Hainan 
at a banquet, maketh fuit for her own life and 
her people's, and accufeth Haman. The 
king uhderftanding that Human had provided 
a gallows for Mordecai, caufeth him to be 
hanged thereon. In memory of this great 
deliverance the two davs of Purim are made 
feftival. 

Ezra the prie-ft, a man {killed in the law of 
Moles, obtains a large commiilion from king 
Artaxerxes to fettle the Jewiih common- 
wealth, and to reform the church at Jerufa- 
lem. 

In the feventh year of Artaxerxes, Ezra, 
with a great multitude of Jews, lets out from 
Babylon. 

Ezra obligeth thofe who had taken ftrangers 
to wife, to fend them back. 

In the twentieth year of king Artaxerxes, 
Nehemiah a Jew, one of his cupbearers, be- 
ing made governor of Judea, obtains leave to 
build the walls of Jerufalem, and finifh that 
great work. Here begin Daniel's ieventy 
weeks, to be fuifilied before the pailion of our 
Saviour. 

Nehemiah, having governed Judea twelve 
years, returns to the king of Perfia. 

This year is the twenty firft jubilee, the laffc 
that ever the prophets of the Old Teftamcnc 
law : for that place in Nehemiah, chap. xii. 
22, is not to be underftood of the laft Darius, 
but of Darius Nothus, who now reigns in 
Perfia ; the full hiftory of Nehemiah ending 
with the time of Artaxerxes Longimanus, 
father of this Darius Nothus. 

Hitherto (fays Eufebius in his Chronicle 
to the thirty fecond year of Artaxerxes) the 
divine Scriptures of the Hebrews contain the 
annals of the times : but thofe things which 
were done among them afterwards, we mult 
deliver out of the books of the Maccabees, 
and out of the writings of Jofephus, who have 
delivered a general hiftory of the Jewiih af- 
fairs from thence down to the times of the 
Romans. 

That Malachi, the laft of the prophets, was 
cotemporary with Nehemiah, appears from 
hence, that he no where exhorts the people 
to the building of the temple, as Haggai and 
Zechariah did 5 but the temple being now 
built, he reproves thofe diforders which Ne- 
hemiah, at his fecond return with a new com- 
miilion from Babylon, faith he found in his 
abfence to have crept in among the Jews ; aj 
marriage with ftrange women, withholding 
of tithes, and abufes in the worlhip of God. 
And becaufe a fucccllion of prophets was not 
to be expelled as before, he exhorteth the 
people conltantly to adhere to the law of 
Moles, till Chrift the chief prophet fhould 
appear ; whole forerunner John the Baptift 
ihould come, in the fpirit and power of Elias;

Id. ibid. Manaffes, brother to Jaddus the highprieft, 

refufing to put away his ftrange wife, is driven 
from the facrifice. Sanballat his father in 
law, governor of Samaria, revolteth from 
Darius, obtains leave of Alexander to build a 
temple on mount Gerizim, and makes Ma- 
naffes high prieft thereof; to which refort all 
fuch 2s are intangled in unlawful marriage, 
with all fuch offenders as think themfelves not 
fafe at Jerufalem. This was the rife of that 
fehifmatical conventicle of the Samaritans. 
See John iv. 20. 

Alexander marcheth toward Jerufalem, in- 
tending to befiege it. Jaddus the high prieft 
hearing of it, putteth on his prieftly orna- 
ments, and accompanied with the people all 
in white, goeth oat tameet him. Alexander, 
feeing his habit, falls proftrate before him, 
faying, That whilft he was in Macedonia a 
man appeared unto him in the very fame 
habit, who invited him to come into Afia, 
and prom He d to deliver the Perfian empire 
into his hands. After this he goes to the 
temple, and offers facrifice according to the 
high prieft's direction. They fhew him the 
VIII. 7 \ prophecy of Daniel, That a Grecian fhould 
XI. 13 come and deftroy the Perfians; whereby he 
is mightily confirmed in his perfualion that 
he himfelf is the man. Laftly he beftoweth 
on the Jews whatever favours they defire,.and

cf books, and out of all countries, perfuades 
him to employ feventy two Jews in tranflat- 
ing the holy Scriptures out of the original 
Hebrew into the Greek tongue, which was 
done in the feventh year of his reign. The 
king alfo difmiffeth many captive Jews, and 
dedicates many prefents to the temple of God 
at Jerufalem. 

One Simon, a man of the tribe of Benja- 
min, governor of the temple, falling out with 
Onias the high prieft, goes to Apollonius the 
governor of Coelofyria, and informs him that 
there is a vaft treafure in the temple. Apol- 
lonius acquaints king Seleucus his mafter with 
it, who prefently fends his treafurer Helio- 
dorus to Jerufalem to bring this money away. 
Heliodorus entering the temple, is by angels 
ftruck down in the very place, and carried 
from thence half dead ; but by the prayers of 
Onias, he is foon after reftored to health, — 
Returning to Seleucus that fent him, he mag- 
nifies the hohnefs of the temple, and the power 
of God dwelling in it, 

Antiochus Epiphanes fucceeds Seleucus in ■■ 
the kingdom of Syria, and reigneth eleven 
years and fome months. 

Jafon,by corrupting king Antiochus, obtain-- 
eth the oiiice of high prieft. 

Menelaus, brother to Simon the traitor, 
being employed by Jafon to carry the money 
to the king, promifeth 300 tal-nts of filver 
above what Jafon had fent, and getteth the 
priefthood to himfelf. 

Menelaus, not paying the money he had 
promifed the king at his ad million, is fum- 
moned to appear before Antiochus ; he fub-- 
ftitutes Lyfimachus his brother, in his place. 

Antiochus taketh Jerufalem, and lacking 
it, pillageth the temple, deftrcyeth 40,000 of 
•the inhabitants, and felleth as many more, 
j He endeavoureth alfo to abolifh the worfhip 
of God, and forceth many Jews to forfake 
their religion. The Samaritans now difown 
their relation to the Jews, to whom, in pros- 
perity, they pretended alliance, and confe— 
crate the temple on mount Gerizim to Ju- 
piter. 

Perfeus, having made war upon the Ro- 
mans, is this year overcome by. them, and the 
kingdom of the Macedonians ends, when 
from Caranus it had flood 626 years. Nev- 
erthelefs the rtliques of the Macedonian em- 
pire, while that of the Roman was rifing, did 
yet furvive in the Ptolemies of Egypt, and the 
kings of Syria. 

King Antiochus, by a public edict, com- 
mands all nations that are fubject unto him 
to obferve the fame way of divine worfhip, 
and, laying afide their peculiar cuftoms, to 
prcfefs the fame religion with the Grecians :

the Jews, many choofe rather to undergo the 
moft cruel torments than to offer facrifice unto 
idols : all which martyrdoms, with thofe glori* 
ous fufferings of the feven Maccabean breth- 
ren, are recorded in the two books of Macca- 
bees. 

Mattathias a prieft, with his five fons, flay 
thofe that are fent by king Antiochus to com- 
pel them to offer abominable facrifices, and af- 
ter betake themfelves to the defert. They are 
followed by many others, of whom a great 
number are ftified in their caves, becaufe they 
would not defend themfelves on the fabbath 
day. Mattathias abolifheth that fuperftition, 
and exhorts his fons to affert their privileges, 
and deliver their country from bondage. 

Mattathias dies, and Judas Maccabeus takes 
upon him the management of this affair. He 
delivers his country, and purgeth it from the 
abominations which had been committed in it. 

Apollonius, governor of Samaria, having 
raifed an army among the Gentiles and Samari- 
tans, falls upon the Jews ; but is difcomfited 
and ilain by Judas Maccabeus. 

Seron alio, governor of the Lower Syria, 
mufters up all the forces under his command, 
and invades Judea ; him Judas Maccabeus en- 
counters, flays 800 of his men on the place, 
and puts the reft to flight. 

Judas Maccabeus defeats a great army, which 
I Antiochus fent againft the Jews. Lyflas re- 
turns with a greater power ; Judas kills 5000 
of his men, and caufeth him to retreat. He 
purifieth the temple, and fetteth it in order, af- 
ter it had lain defolate three years, and build- 
eth a wad about Sion. 

Antiochus is taken with a violent pain in his 
bowels, and fuch a rottennefs feizeth his flefh, 
that worms breed in it ; he confeffeth, that he 
is plagued for the wrong done to Jeruialem, 
and dieth in the 149th year of the kingdom of 
the Grecians. His fon Antiochus Eupater, a 
child about nine years old, fucceeds him. He 
maketh peace with the Jews, but quickly 
breaketh it. He puts to death Menelaus the 
high prieft, and confers that honour upon Alci- 
mus or Jacimus. 

Onias the fon of Onias III. retires into Egypt, 
where Ptolemy Philometer, and Cleopatra his 
wife, permit him to build a temple at Heliopo- 
lis, in imitation of that at Jerufalem, and they I 
conftitute him high prieft there. 

Demetrius Soter, the fon of Seleucus,efcapes 
from Rome, and comes into Syria, where he 
caufeth himfelf to be crowned king, and put- 
teth to death Antiochus and Lyfias. 

Demetrius, at the inftance of Alcimus, fends 
Nicanor with a great army againft Judas Mac- 
cabeus, whom he endeavours to furprife. 
They join battle, and Nicanor is flain. 

Here ends the continued hiftory of the 
fecond book of the Maccabees, being an ab- 
ftract and breviary of the five books of Jafon, 
a Jew of Cyrene.

befiegeth the citadel at Jerufalem, held by a 
garrifon of Macedonians. Complaint hereof 
being made to Demetrius, Jonathan appeafeth 
him by prefents, and obtaineth new favours 
for the Jews. Demetrius incurreth the hatred 
of his foldiers, by abridging their pay in time 
of peace. 

Tryphon, with fome foldiers that revolted 
from Demetrius, undertakes to eftablifh Anti- 
ochus, the fon of Alexander Balas, in the king- 
dom of Syria. 

Demetrius is vanquifhed by young Anti- 
ochus, and made to flee into Seleucia. Great 
honours are by Antiochus conferred on Jona- 
than, who affifts him againft Demetrius. 

Jonathan renews his alliance with the Ro- 
mans and Lacedemonians, and fortifieth Jeru- 
fdem. 

Tryphon contrives how he may quit himfelf 
of Antiochus, and reign in his ftead ; but fear- 
ing Jonathan's oppofition, he invites him to 
come to Ptolemais, and bring with him fome 
few of his foldiers, promidng to deliver that 
city into his hands. Jonathan fufpefting no 
treachery, comes only with 1000 men to Try- 
phon atPtolemais ; but, as foon as he is entered 
the city, Tryphon commands the gates to be 
ihut. Jonathan is taken prifoner and all his 
men put to the fword. 

The Jews hereupon make choice of Simon 
Maccabeus for their general, in the place of his 
brother Jonathan. Tryphon leads an army 
againft Simon. He promifeth for 100 talents 
of filver to releafe Jonathan ; the money being 
j paid him, he breaks his promife, and puts Jon- 
athan to death. Simon erects a ftately monu-

J'ESUS cometh to Jerufalem at the time of

JESUS comes up to Jerufalem at the time 
of the fe.ift, and heals on the fabbath day a. 
man that had an infirmity 38 years, lying at

body, and lays it in a new fepulchre. 

On the third day, the next after the Jewifh 
fabbath, (April 5,) Chrift rifeth from the dead ; 
his refurrection is declared by angels to the wo- 
men that came to the fepulchre. Chrift firft 
appeareth to Mary Magdalene, and afterward 
to his difciples, and dineth with them. 

Chrift bringeth his apoftles to mount Olivet, 
.eommandeth them to expect in Jerufalem the 
fending down of the Holy Ghoft ; fends them 
to teach, and baptize ail nations, and blelTeth 
them ; and, while they behold, he is taken up, 
and a cloud receives him out of their fight. 
After his afcenfion the difciples are warned by 
two angels to depart, and to fet their minds up- 
on his fecond coming 5 they accordingly re- 
turn, and, giving themfelves to prayer, choofe 
Mattathias to be an apoftle in the place of Judas. 
On the day of Pentecoft, (May 24, ) the 
Holy Ghoft defcendeth on the apoftles in the 
form ot cloven tongues, like as of fire, and en- 
ableth them to fpeak all languages. Peter the 
fame day preacheth Chrift and the refurrec- 
tion, and about 3000 believers are added to 
the church. 

Peter, by faith in Chrift's name, healeth a 
lame man. 

The rulers of the Jews, offended at Peter's 
fermon, and his miraculous cure of the lame 
man, caft both him and John into prifon ; upon 
their examination they boldly avouch the lame 
man to be healed by the name of Jefus, and 
that by the fame Jefus we muft be eternally 
faved. After this the Jews forbid them to 
fpeak any more in that name •, but the apoftles 
anfwer, that it is fit they fhould obey God ra- 
ther than men. They are threatened, and let 

go- 
Ananias and his wife Sapphira, for theix*

temple, they are brought before the council, 
where, by the advice of Gamaliel, a Pharifee 
and doctor of the law, they are delivered. 

The number of believers increasing at Jeru- 
falem, the apoftles ordain feven deacons, who 
fhould diftribute the alms of the whole church 
to the widows, and poorer fort of believers. 
Stephen, one of thefe deacons, having con- 
founded fome that difputed with him, is by 
them falfely accufed of blafphemy, and brought 
before the council, where he reprehends 
their rebellion and murdering of Chrift.

Philip, one of the feven deacons, preacheth 
at Samaria, and converteth many ; worketh 
miracles, and healeth the fick. Simon the 
'brcerer, feeing the wonders that are done by 
Philip, believeth, and is baptized. 

The apoftles at Jerufalem hearing that Sa- 
maria had received the faith, fend thither 
Peter and John to confirm and enlarge the 
church. The apoftles, by prayer, and impo- 
fition of hands, confer the Holy Ghoft on all 
believers. Simon Magus offers them money, 
that he may receive power of conferring the 
fame, whofe impiety is fharply reproved by 
Peter. Having completed their miniftry in 
thofe parts, they return to Jerufalem. 

An angel fendeth Philip to teach and bap- 
tize the Ethiopian eunuch. 

Saul, a violent perfecutor of all that call on 
the name of Jefus, and one who confented to 
the death of Stephen, goes now towards Da- 
mafcus, with commiflion from the high prieft 
and the council to apprehend all Chriftians in 
thofe parts, and to bring them bound to Jeru- 
falem ; on the way he is miraculoufly convert- 
ed by a voice from heaven, and three days 
after baptized by Ananias at- Damafcus, where 
he preacheth the gofpel of Chrift with great 
boldnefs, to the aftonifhment of thofe that 
knew upon what defign he was fent thither. 

Saul having preached the gofpel at Damaf- 
cus a long time, the Jews lay wait to kill him, 
but he efcapes from thence, and comes to Je- 
rufalem ; there he fees Peter, and James the 
brother of our Lord, and abides with them 
fifteen days; Here he fpeaks boldly in the 
name of Jefus, and difputes with the Grecians, 
or rather Jews that ufed the Greek tongue. 
Thefe alfo confult how they may kill him. 

While Saul prays in the temple he is in a 
trance, and the Lord appears unto him, and 
bids him to depart from Jerufalem, becaufe 
they will not receive his teftimony ; adding, 
that he will fend him to the Gentiles. 

Saul, leaving Jerufalem, goes to his own 
country Tarfus, and from thence travels into 
Syria and Cilicia. 

Peter vifits the churches of Judea, Galilee, 
Samaria, &c. At Lydda he cureth iEneas of 
the palfy ; and at joppa reftoreth Tabitha to 
life. 

AtCefarea, Cornelius a eenturion, by pray- 
ers and aims, finds favour in the fight of God, 
and is commanded by an angel to fend for 
Peter, now at Joppa, God by a vifion tcach- 
eth Peter not to defpife the Gentiles. Peter 
being fent for by Cornelius, goes and preach- 
eth Chrift to him, and a great company that 
were met at his houfe. While Ptter preach- 
eth, the Holy Ghoft falls upon them all ; and 
■mmediately the apoftle bnptizeth them. 

Peter at his return to Jerufalem is a« ufed 
by thofe of the circumcifion for convening 
with the Gentiles ; but he declares to them his 
vifion, and the whole matter concerning Cor-

nelins and they glorify God for granting to the 
Gentiles alfo repentance unto life. 

The believers, who ever fince the martyr- 
dom of Stephen, and the perfecution thereupon 
enfuing, had been difperfed throughout all 
Phenice and Cyprus, come row to Antioch, 
and preach the gofpel to the Greeks there, 
having before preached to none but the Jews. 
The church at Jerufalem underftanding this, 
and that -the number of believers increafed ex- 
ceedingly, fends Barnabas thither to confirm 
them ; he goes to Tarfus, and takes Saul along 
with him to Antioch, where they continue a 
whole year, converting multitudes to the faith. 
Here the difciples were firft called Chriftians. 
About this time James the brother of John, 
is beheaded by the command of Herbd Agrip- 
pa. He alfo imprifoneth Peter, whom an 
angel delivers upon the prayers of the church. 
This fame Herod, not long after, fpeaking to 
the people at Cefarea, fome of them cry out, 
It is the voice of God, and not of man ; and 
immediately an angel of the Lord unites him, 
becaufe he gave not the glory to God, and he 
is eaten of worms, and dieth. 

Barnabas and Saul fet forward in their 
preaching of the gofpel. They plant the 
Chriftian faith in Scleucia, Cyprus, and other 
places. At Paphos they preach the gofpel to 
Sergius Paulus, governor of that country. 
Elymas a forcerer withftanding them, and en- 
deavouring to turn away Sergius from the 
faith, is at Saul's rebuke ftruck blind. From 
this time Saul is always called by his new name 
Paul •, he preacheth at Antioch ; the Gentiles 
believe, but the Jews gainfay and blafpheme. 
Whereupon he and his affiftants turn to the 
Gentiles, and come to Iconium. 

At Iconium they are perfecuted, and ready 
to be ftoned. From hence they flee to Lyftra 
and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia. At Lyftra 
Paul healing a cripple, the multitude cry out, 
that the gods are come down, and call Barna- 
bas, Jupiter, and Paul, Mercurius, and would 
have facrificed to them, had not the apoftles, 
with clothes rent, run in among them, and af- 
fured them that they were men like them- 
felves. Soon after there come Jews from 
Antioch and Iconium, who excite the people 
againft them. Paul is by the furious multitude 
ftoned, and drawn out of the city as dead ;. but 
while the difciples fland about him he rifeth. 
up, and the next day departs with Barnabas 
to Derbe. 

In this year, perhaps at this very time, Paul 
was caught up into the third heaven, and 
heard unfpcakable words, 14 years before he 
wrote. his fecond epiftle to the Corinthians. 

About this time Timothy, though a child, 
with his mother Eunice, and his grandmoihi r 
Lois, embrace the Chriftian faith preached by 
Paul. 

Certain judaizing Chriftians come from Ju- 
dea to Antioch, and teach that the Gentiles

ought to be circumcifed, and obfervc the law 
of Mofes ; thefe Paul and Barnabas oppofe, 
and a council is held by the apoftles and others 
at Jerufalem to determine this controverfy. 
The .decrees o£ the fynod are fent to the 
churches. 

Paul and Barnabas, thinking to vifit the 
churches' together, fall at ftrife, and part afun- 
der, Barnabas and Mark go into Cyprus, Paul 
and Silas into Syria and Cilicia. 

Paul coming to Derbe, finds Timothy there, 
whom, (becaufe his mother was a believing 
Jew, : hough his father a Gentile) he caufeth 
to be circumcifed, and takes him along with 
him. He is by a vifion admonifhed to go into 
Macedonia ; coming into Philippi, the chief 
city of that part of Macedonia, he converts 
Lydia ; cafteth out of a certain maidfervant a 
fpirit of divination, whofe mafter, lofing a 
coniiderable gain thereby, brings Paul and Si- 
las before the magiftrates •, thefe caufethemto 
be whipped and imprifpned ; but at midnight, 
Paul and Silas praying and ringing pfalms, the 
doors of the prifon fly open, and their bonds 
are loofed : the jailor, ready to kill himfelf, is 
converted to the faith, and baptized the fame 
night, with his whole family. Next day the 
magiftrates come themfelyes, and pray them 
to depart the city. 

From Philippi Paul takes hip journey 
through Amphipolis and Apollonia, and comes 
to Theffalonica, where he finds a fynagogue 
of the Jews ; there he preacheth three fabbath 
days ; fome believe, others perfecute him. 
Leaving Theffalonica, he comes to Berea, and 
foon after arrives at Athens, disputes with the 
philofophers, and declares to them that UN- 
KNOWN GOD whom they had ignorantly 
worfhipped. He converts Dionyfius the Areo- 
pagite and others, and thence pafleth toCorinth. 
Paul at Corinth meets with Aquila and 
Prifcilla, not long before banifhed Rome by 
the decree of Claudius. Here he continues a 
year and fix months, and thence writes to the 
Theffalonians. 

Paul is accufed by the Jews, and brought 
before Gallio, proconful of Achaia, who refuf- 
eth to be judge in a controyerfy about religion, 
and fo drives them away from the judgment 
feat. 

Paul departs from Corinth, and paffeth to 
Ephefus, thence he fets out towards Jerufalem, 
that he may be at the feaft ; he lands at Cefa- 
rea, goes down' to Antioch, and comes into 
the regions of Galatia and Phrygia, confirm- 
ing the difciples in all thofe places. 

Paul returns to Ephefus, difputes daily in 
the fchool of Tyrannus, and continues preach- 
ing there, and the parts thereabouts. He 
writes his epiftle to the Galatians. 

At Ephefus, Demetrius a filyerfmith, jeal- 
ous of his gain, raifeth a tumult againft Paul, 
which is appeafed by the town clerk.

in or about Ephefus) to write his firft epiftle 
to the Corinthians. 

Paul departs from Epheftfs, and comes into 
Macedonia, and gathers a contribution for the 
relief of the faints at Jerufalem. 

The apoftle having learned from Titus the 
fuccefs of his firft epiftle, writes now his fec- 
ond to the Corinthians. Out of Macedonia 
he goes into Greece, and comes to Corinth, 
where he writes his epiftle to the Romans. 

Paul purpofing to go directly from thence 
into Syria, that he may carry the collections 
to Jerufalem, the Jews lay wait for him ; he 
underftanding this, thinks it beft to return 
into Macedonia the fame way he came, and 
thence to pafs into Afia. 

After the days of unleavened bread, Paul 
fails from Philippi, and comes to Troas ; there 
he reftores Eutychus to life. Having palled 
through feveral cities of Greece, he arrives 
at Miletus, from thence he fends to call the 
elders of the church of Ephefus, whom he 
earneftly exhorts to the performance of their 
duty, 

Paul comes to Jerufalem, is apprehended in 
the temple, and fecured in the caftle ; he 
claimeth the privilege of a Roman, and efcap- 
eth fcourging. 

Paul pleadeth his caufe before Ananias the 
high prieft. The chief captain underftanding 
that above 40 Jews had bound themfelves 
under a curfe, neither to eat nor drink till they 
had killed him, fends him to Felix the gover- 
nor of the province, by whom he is imprifon- 
ed at Cefarea- 

Paul is accufed before Felix by Tertuilus the 
orator ; Felix goes out of his office, and, to 
gratify the Jews, leaves Paul in prifon. Por- 
cius Feftus fucceeds him in the government. 
The Jews come to Cefarea, and accufe Paul 
before Feftus. He anfwers for himfelf, and 
appeals unto Cefar. King Agrippa comes to 
Cefarea, and Feftus opens the whole matter 
to" him. 

Paul makes his defence in the prefence of 
Agrippa, who thereby is aim oft perfuaded to 
be a Chriftian, and the whole company pro- 
nounce him innocent. 

Paul comes to Rome, is a prifoner at large^ 
and preacheth there two years.

"With an APPENDIX, containing the Method of calculating its MEASURES of SURFACE, hitherto wanting in 

Treatifes on this Subject. By the Bifhop of Peterborough. 



MEASURE is a known quantity applied to another of 
the fame kind that is lefs known, to make its dimenfions 
better known, by help of numbers expreffing the proportion 
that the known quantity bears to the unknown. The dimen- 
fions to be meafured are three : i Mere length, which hath but 
one dimenfion. 2 Surface, which confifts of length multiplied 
into breadth ; fo it hath two dimenfions, as it were interwoven ; 
and this is always meafured by fome fquare furface already 
known, as by a fquare foot, or a fquare cubit, or any other 
fquare already known, by help of its fide. Mofes generally 
ufeth the fquare cubit. 3 Solidity, or Capacity, which hath 
three dimenfions multiplied into each other : length, breadth, 
and height, or depth. This is meafured by a known cube. 
From folidity arifeth weight in all fublunary bodies : and by 
weight we meafure the value of coins. Therefore I fliall join 
weights and .coins together in the fourth table. 

/ ufe == to ftgnify Equal ; : : to exprefs Proportion ; . is called 
Separatrix, parting Decimals from Integers.

Mofes hath defcribed thefe by fquare Cubits. I here exprefs 
them reduced to our fquare Feet. The method of this reduc- 
tion is taught in an Appendix. I firft propofe three clear exam- 
ples given by Mofes ; Secondly, I place fix inftances of greater 
difficulty. 

% 



The cleared examples are, 

I. The Altar of Incenfe. Only two fides of it, viz. its length 
and breadth are expreffed by Mofes ; each of them is affirmed to 
be one Cubit. Yet he declares that it was four fquare : whence 
we collect, that it was juft one fquare Cubit. See Exodus xxx. 
2. Now it is demonftrated in the Appendix, that one feivlfi 
fquare Cubit amounts in furface to three Engll/h fquare Feet, 
and about 47 fquare Inches. 

II. The Table of Shewbread. Exodus xxv. 2 3 . It is affirm- 
ed to be two Cubits in length, and one in breadth. None doubt 
but it was rectangular, containing two Jewifj fquare Cubits. 
Thefe amount to above fix Englifh fquare Feet, and above half, 
viz. 94 fquare inches. 

III. The Boards of the Tabernacle, each 10 Cubits in length, 
and one and an half in breadth, Exodus xxvi. 16, being rect- 
angular, muft contain 15 fquare Cubits, feivlfo. Thefe are 
proved to contain very near 50 fquare Feet of Englifh meafure. 

The more difficult cafes referved to the Appendix are, 

I. The Mercy feat, whofe furface is = 1 2 fquare feet and 
an half. 

II. A general method is taught of reducing any given num- 
ber oijewifh Cubits to Englifh fquare Feet. 

III. The example of the 15 fquare Cubits in the Boards of 
the Tabernacle is made clearer. 

IV. The Court of the Tabernacle, defcribed Exodus xxvu. 
18, is found to be juft the half of the Egyptian Aroura, and to 
contain 1 Rood, 21 Perches, 27 fquare Feet, &c. 

V. The whole Aroura is determined, and reduced to our 
Engllfj Meafures, 3 Roods, 2 Perches, 55 fquare Feet. 

VI. The fuburbs, or Glebe Land, given to each city of the 
Levltes, Numbers xxxv. 3,4? 5, is fhewed to be a Square, on 
each of the four fides of every city, containing a million of 
Jeivi/h fquare Cubits, or -100 Arource ; which amount to in 
each Square 76 Acres, 1 Rood, 20 Perches, 80 fquare Feet. 
Whence we collect, that all the four Squares amounted to 305 
Acres, 2 Roods, 1 Perch, befides 51 Feet fquare.

An APPENDIX to the Second Table of Meafures of Surface 
defcribed by Mofes, JheivFng the Method of reducing them by 
Calculation to the Meafures afed in England, for the beneft of 
thofe that underfland Decimal Arithmetick, and defire to try 
the Redutlions given in the Table, or to make farther Improve- 
ments in this kind of Meafures. 

1. The T SHALL begin with Reduction of the Meafures 
Mercy."*!- J Q £ t ' ne Mercy seat, which was God's Throne of 
Grace among the Jews. Mofes, in Exodus xxv. 17, affirms, 
that its length was two Cubits and an half, its breadth one 
Cubit and an half. The fractions adhering to its length and 
breadth make fome difficulty to beginners in Arithmetick, 
which the Decimal way doth much abate. Suppofing, there- 
fore, what I have elfewhere proved, that the jeivi/b Cubit was 
in Foot meafure 1.824 ; the length muft be expreffed in Foot 
meafure, and Decimals thereof, 4.560. The breadth in like 
meafure will be 2.736. Wherefore the product of thefe num- 
bers multiplied into each other gives its furface 12.47,616 : in 
number of its fquare Feet, and Decimals thereof, 12 fquare 
Feet, and very near half a fquare Fooc •, if the Decimals had 
been .50, it had been juft' half a foot. If we defire to exprefs 
thofe Decimals of a Foot in fquare Inches, as is ufual in Eng- 
land, we muft multiply .47,616 by 144, the fquare Inches of a 
Foot, and the product will be 68.56,704 ; which ihews that 
the Decimals we found amou to 68 fquare Inches, and about 
half an Inch more : we need not be nicer. 

2. a square 2- j n t h e Altar of Incenfe Mofes deferibes the 

Cuht r eihicc(i to J 

our Measure, feivijh fquare Cubit, which muft be reduced to our 
Foot meafure, thus, \ \ \ *. The product of thefe numbers 
multiplied will be the upper furfrce of this Altar, 3.326,976, 
that is, three fquare Eeet, and .3265976 Decimals of a fquare 
Foot, which we may exprefs by 47 fquare Inches, and a few 
Decimals of an Inch fquare inconiidera 

BtorV'of : 3" Mofes' defcription of the Boards of the Taber- 
Tak' ,t nacl us xxvi 16, by 10 Cubits in lengt'i 

one and an halt in breadth, naturally leads a man to diiccrn 



Weights^ and Coins. 

in each board's furface 15 Jeiuifj fquare Cubits; becaufe if 
we conceive a line drawn from the end of one Cubit at the 
bottom of the Board to the end of one Cubit at the top of the 
Board, this muft needs be 10 whole fquare Cubits on one fide 
of that line, and 10 half fquare cubits ( = 5 whole) on the other 
fide of that line : here therefore are 15 fquare Cubits. The 
reduction of thefe into Englifi fquare Feet is performed by mul- 
tiplying 15, viz. the number of Cubits given, into 3326,976, 
the Feet and Decimals of one fquare Cubit, and the product- 
will be 49.90,464, and that is very near to 50 fquare Feet ;. 
for thofe Decimals amount to above 130 fquare Inches ; and 
little more than 13 fquare inches would make it juft 50 Feet, 
which abatement we need not here regard. 

4. Let us now go to the meafure of the furface of . +•, T ' : f, 
land. But we will begin with the Court of the Taber- r< l ,1 .... 
nacle, the ground on which the Priefts performed all the 
folemn public worfhip of Ifrael in Mofes' time. The Area of 
this Court is defcribed by Mofes, Exodus xxvu. 1 8, by its 
length 100 Cubits, and its breadth every where 50 Cubits. 
Wherefore this Area muft be in Jeicifj meafure 5000 fquare 
Cubits, for that is the product of 100 multiplied into 50. To 
reduce thefe 5000 Jewip Cubits into Englifh fquare Feet, I 
muft multiply 5000 into 3.326,976, the product is 16,634.88' 
Englifh fquare Feet. 

But in cafes of fuch long numbers of Feet we ufe for brev- 
ity's fake, and to help our memories, to reduce them into 
Perches, or Roods, or Acres, which contain known numbers 
of fquare Feet. A Perch contains 272 fquare Feet and {. 
A Rood is = to 10,890 fquare Feet. An Acre is = to 
43,560 fquare Feet. It is plain that the number 16,63483' 
hath not integers equal to thofe of an Acre ; but it hath 
enough to anfwer thofe in a Rood, and feme overplus ; there- 
fore I muft divide 16,634,88 by 10,890, which is a Rood. 
By fuch divifion continued in the Decimal way, until I have 
a fraction of five or fix places, which is exact enough, I find 
the quote to be 1.527,537, which affures me that my num- 
ber 16,634.88 hath but once entirely in it a whole Rood : 
but it hath moreover in it many Decimal parts of a Rood. 
Thefe therefore, I reduce to the Perches contained in them, 
by multiplying them into 40, which is the number of Perches 
that make up a Rood : and cutting off fix places from the pro- 
duct, which is 21.101,480; fo I find there r.re 21 Perches 
entire, and the figures after the Separatrix are Decimals of ... 
Perch. Thefe alio I multiply by 272.25, which are the fquare 
Feet and Decimals of a Perch. The product of this laft mul- 
tiplication, after eight places cut off from it by tl.. atrix, 
becaufe there were fix places of Decimals in one of the mul- 
tipliers, and two in the other, is 27.62,793,000. Hence I 
learn that there are therein but 27 entire Feet, all the eight 
Decimal phtces amount to little above half a Foot, and there- 
fore I caft them away a-; inconsiderable in the meafure of land. 
This me. hod of reduction by multiplication of Decimals I find 
to be eaficr than the common way of reduction by diviiicn, and 
therefore I propofe it to be ufed by beginners in this nr:ict : t<j 
of furveying. So I find this court to contain in Englifh meaf- 
ure 1 Rood, 21 Perches, 27 Feet, and little more than half a 
foot fquared. But reflecting upon Mofes' meafure by Cubits, 
and finding them to be precifely 5000 fquare Cu ferv- 
ed that they were juft half io,oco, which I had obferved from 
Herodotus'* Euterpe to be the Area of the 

' ich their land was ns generally meafured, ;.s our's is by 
Acres and Roods. St 1. 2. c. 16;!. J called 

to mind a paffage in Manttho an Egyptian Pricfr, cited hv 



Scripture Measures, 

Jofephus in his firft book againft Apion, where he affirms, that 
.Manetho in his hiftory of the reign, wars, and expulfion of the 
Paftors (whom Africanus affirms to be Phoenicians, or Canaan- 
ites, and j'ofephus vainly believed to be Jews J wrote out of 
the public Records of Egypt, that thefe Paftors made at Abaris 
a very large and ftrong encampment, that encompafTed 10,000 
Arource, fufficient to contain 240,000 men, and long to main- 
tain their cattle. .Hence it appears, that not only the Egyp- 
tians, but the Phoenicians or Canaanites alfo, that had dwelt 
among them, and had reigned there during the time of fix 
kings fucceffively, ufed this meafure of land called Aronra. 
Now this was long before Mofes' time ; for the beginning of 
Amofis or Tctbmofis, who expelled them out of Egypt, was 
very near the time of Abraham's death, as appears by the an- 
nals of the learned Primate of .Ire/and. Wherefore I believe 
that Mofes, who vyas fkilled in all Egyptian learning, efpecially 
furveying, did of choice make the Court of the Tabernacle to 
be juft half an Aroura, which was a known meafure to him 
-and his people, who had long dwelt in. Egypt, and Divine Au- 
thority directed him fo to do. 
5. tijie Reduction - Becaufe we have fhewn from Herodotus, that 

"/ an Aroura to J ' 

Engiinimeaiarej. -an Aroura is the fquare of 100 JciciJJj or Egyptian 
Cubits, and 100 fuch Cubits may in Eng/i/h Foot meafure be 
expreffed by 182.4 Engli/h Feet, it follows, that the fquare of 
this number will exprefs exactly the number of the Engliflj 
fquare Feet that are contained in an Aroura. Now by multi- 
plication of 182.4 into itfelf, I find the product to be 33,269.76 : 
therefore I conclude that there are 33,269 fquare feet entire, 
and .76 Decimals of a fquare Foot, in an Aroura. Now to 
reduce thefe Eng/i/Jj fquare feet into Roods, Perches, and the 
Remainder of fquare Feet, I ufe the method ufed in the laft 
paragraph : ,firft, I divide them by 10,890, the fquare Feet in 
a Rood ; and the quote I find 3.055,074, that is 3 Roods, and 
.055,074 Decimals of a Rood. Secondly, I multiply thofe 
Decimals by 40, which is the number of Perches in a Rood, 
the product is 2.202,960. Hence I conclude there are therein 
two Perches, and .202,960 Decimals of a Perch. Thirdly, I 
multiply thefe laft Decimals by 272.25, which are the fquare 
ieet of a Perch. The product is 55.25,586,000, that is 55 
entire fquare Feet : the eight places of Decimals amount to little 
above ^ of a fquare Foot, therefore I reject them as inconfider- 
able in meafure of land. By all thefe reductions it is found, 
that an Aroura is in Eng/i/h meafure three Roods, two Perches, 
5$^ fquare Feet. Hence it follows alfo, that it is not well 
tranflated by Jugerum, for it is much larger ; nor is it well in j 
Engli/h called an Acre, for it is considerably Iefs. To this i 
place I refer the ufe of the Ieffer fort of c-^W, which yet is 
moft convenient for the ufe of the Egyptians, and of the jews, 
to meafure out private men's inheritances by a line which was 
80 Cubits long. For the length of this line will meafure one 
fide of an Aroura, if the other fide be 125 Cubits long, which 
is the length of this line, and its half, and 5 Cubits above half 
of it, which they might eafily mark in it by a knot or a ring. 
And by this means they might eafily lay any number of Arource 
together, all of them rectangular and parallel to each other. 
Such lines I fuppofe for meafure of inheritances are intimated, 
Pfalm Lxxviu. 55. and xvi. 6, &c. 

Leslies $• I fhall conclude with an example amounting after 
cube, reduction to a number of EngliJJj Acres, which meafure 
we have not yet reached to. This I take from Numb, xxxv. 
3, 4, 5, verfes. There Mofes defcribes what meafure of land 
the Levites were to be allowed for their cattle, their goods, 
and all their beafts, on the north, eaft, fouth, and weft fides 



Weights, and Coins. 

of each of their cities. So that the city was to be in the midfl 
of the land belonging to it. This land in our tranflation is 
called fuburbs, becaufe of its nearnefs to all their cities. But 
we muft not thence imagine that it means houfes and ftreets 
adjoining to their cities, in which fenfe we fometimes ufe the 
word fuburbs. For Mofes plainly tells us they were places for 
their feveral forts of cattle to feed in, fuch as might alfo be or- 
chards or gardens for fruits, or perhaps for a little corn, com- 
prehended in the word, their Goods. Thefe fields he limits by 
1000 Cubits, which was juft a quarter of an eaftern mile, but 
amounts in mere length to 608 yards Engliflj meafure, and 
therefore exceeds a quarter of an Englijh mile by 168 vards 
in length. But it is certain that cattle cannot feed upon mere 
length, but this muft fignify the fide of fome furface of land 
bounded thereby, and we muft have two fides of that furface 
given, before we can find the Area, or furface contained. 
Therefore Mofes, ver. 5, tells us, that on each fide of each city 
they muft meafure 2000 Cubits, which will determine no fur- 
face, unlefs we underftand it to mean the two fides of a fquare, 
bounded on every fide by 1000 Cubits •, thefe two fides multi- 
plied into each other will produce a fquare that contains juft a 
million of fquare Cubits, and that is a known and exact meaf- 
ure of juft 100 Arource : and this fhews that the 2000 Cubits 
mentioned ver. 5, are the two fides of that fquare, whereof the 
1000 mentioned ver. 4, is one, and may be called the root of 
the fquare. This fhews the agreement of the two different 
numbers. The reduction of this million of fquare Cubits will 
be performed by the fame method that I have ufed before. 
Therefore, firft, I exprefs icoo Jewifj Cubits by 1 824 Eng- 
lijh Feet, without any Separatrix, according to the principles 
owned in Decimal Arithmetick ; and the fquare of that num- 
ber will be 3,326,976, without a Separatrix. Secondly, I divide 
this number by 43,560 which are the fquare feet of an Acre, 
and find the quote to be 76. 3 76,859, which fignify 76 entire 
Acres, and .376,859 Decimals of an Acre. Thirdly, to find 
what Pvoods are contained in thefe Decimals, I multiply them 
by four, the number of Roods in an Acre, and find the quote 
to be 1.507,436, which proves that there is but 'one Rood in 
them, and the fix figures cut off by the Separatrix (becaufe there 
were fix Decimals in one of the multipliers) are all Decimals 
of a Rood. Fourthly, therefore to find what Perches are in 
thefe laft Decimals, I mnltiply them by 40, which is the 
number of Perches contained in a Rood. The product is 
20.297,440 ; hereby I find there are 20 entire Perches, befide 
the Decimals of a Perch placed after the Separatrix. Fifthly, 
to find what fquare Feet are in thofe laft Decimals, I multiply 
them by 272.25, which are the fquare Feet and Decimals in a 
Perch, the Product is 80.97,804, which is 80 fquare feet, and 
all the Decimals not amounting to a fquare foot, I reject 
as inconfiderable in meafure of land. Thus we have found 
that this and every other fquare on each fide of every Levitical 
City, was prefcribed to be 76 Acres, 1 Rood, 20 Perches, 
80 fquare Feet in our meafure, but was juft a million of fqUare 
cubits in their meafure. To add the four fquares belonging 
to one Levitical City together, the beft way will be to take the 
firft quote that we found in Acre meafure, viz. 76.376,859, 
and we muft multiply it by four, and we fhall find, by the 
method I have ufed, all the four fquares together to amount to 
305 Acres, 2 Roods, and 1 Perch 5 we need not take notice of 
any Ieffer quantities in this cafe. We may alfo by this method 
find the fum of the Acres belonging to all the 48 cities of the 
Levites, and many other improvements in this kind of meafur- 
ing furfaces. But I leave them to the induftry of others.

A brief CHRONOLOGICAL CATALOGUE of the APOSTLES and their Succeilbrs, who 
founded and prefided over the Five Grand Apoftolical Churches. 



ANTIOCH. 

IT is generally acknowledged, even by the 
Romifh writers, that a church was found- 
ed here by St. Peter fome considerable time 
before that at Rome ; and partly bccaufe 
here it was that the venerable name of 
Chriftians firft commenced. The fathers in 
the council at Conftantinople under Nectari- 
es, in their Synodicum to them at Rome, 
Ttyle the church cf Antioch, The mojl ancient 
and truly apoftolical ; and S. Chryfoftom, The 
bead of the whole world. The fuccefiion of 
its bifhops tiil the time of Conftantine was 
as follows : 
I. St. Peter the apoftle, who governed this 

church at leaft feven years. 
'II. Evodius, who fat 23 years. In his time 
the difciples were firft called Chriftians at 
Antioch. 
III. Ignatius. After prefiding near 40 years

■ 



9 years. He was fucceeded by

manners, and practices, his unfound dog- 
mata and principles, and efpecially his 
mean and unworthy opinions concerning 
ourSaviour, he was condemned and depof- 
ed by a fynod at Antioch, whofe determi- 
nation is at large extant in Eufebius. 

XVII. Bomnus fucceeded in his place. He 
was conftituted and ordained to the place 
by the fathers of that fynod, who farther

and profperity to the church. 

ROME. 

THE foundation of this church is equally 
attributed to Peter and Paul, the one, 
as opoftle of the circumcifion, preached to 
the Jews ; while the other probably, as the

tyrdom under Nero.

JERUSALEM. 

THE church of Jerufalem may in fome 
fenfe be faid to have been founded by 
our Lord himfelf, as it was for fome time 
him and Cyprian, about rebaptizing thofe ' cultivated and improved by the miniftry of 

The 



who had been baptized by heretics. He 

was beheaded after he fat about 2 or 3 ! 

years and was buried with his predeceffor. 

XXIV. Xyftus, a Greek, formerly a philofo- 
pher of Athens. After 2 years and 10 
months he fuffered martyrdom. 

XXV. Dionyfius, a monk, made bifhop ; in 
the judgment of Dionyfius bifhop of Alex- 
andria, a truly learned and admirable person. 



the whole college of the apoftles 
bifhops of it were as follow : 

I. S. James the Lefs, conftituted bifhop by 
the apoftles : he was thrown off the tem- 
ple, and knocked on the head with a full- 
er's club. 

II. Simeon, the fon of Cleophas, brother to 
Jofeph. He fat in this chair 23 years, and 

I fuffered martyrdom in th« reign of Tra-

6 years. 

IV. Zaccheus, or as (Nicephorus the patri- 
arch calls him) Zacharias, 4.

XIII. Ephrem, or, Ephres, or, as Epiphani- 
us ftiles him, Vapres, 2. 

XIV. Jofeph, 2. 

XV. Judas, 2. Moft of thefe bifhops wc 
may obferve to have but a fhort time, 
following one another with a very quick 
fucceflion. This doubtlefs was in a great 
meafure owing to the turbulent and un- 
quiet humour of the Jewifh nation, fre- 
quently rebelling againft the Roman 
powers, whereby they provoked them to *! 
fall heavy upon them, and cut off all that 
came in their way, making no diftinc~tion 
between Jews and Chriftians ; as indeed 
they were all Jews, though differing in 
their rites of their religion. For hitherto 
the bifhops of Jerufalem had fucceffively 
been of the circumcifion, the church 
there having been entirely made up of 
converts. But the Jews being difperfed 
after the deftruction of Jerufalem, into 
all other countries, the Gentiles were ad 
mitted not only into the body of the 
church, but even into the epifcopal chair, 
The firft whereof was

able to bear the afperfion that fome un- 
juftly caft upon him, he left his church, 
and retired into the deferts and folitudes. 
In his abfence was chofen

XXXIV. Gordius, 5. In his time Narciflus, 
as one from the dead, returned from ins 
folitudes, and was importuned by the peo- 
ple again to take the government of the 
church upon him ; being highly reverenc- 
ed by them for his ftrict and philofophical 
courfeoflife. In this fecond adminiftra- 
tion he continued 10 years, and fufiered 
martyrdom when he was near 1 20 years 
old. To relieve the infirmities of his great 
age, they took in to be his colleague 

XXXV. Alexander, formerly bifhop in Cap- 
padocia, who at that time had out of de- 
votion taken a pilgrimage to Jerufalem. 
He was an eminent confefTor, and after 
having fat 15 years, died in prifon under 
the Decian perfecution -, by him Origen 
was ordained Prefbyter ; he was a great 
patron of learning as well as religion, a 
ftudious preferver of the records of the 
church : he ere&ed a library at jerufalem, 
which he Specially furniflied with the 
writings and epiftles of ecclefiaftical per- 
fons : and out of this treafury it was that 
Eufebius borrowed a great part of his ma- 
terials for the compofing of his hiftory. 

XXXVI. Mazabanes, 9 years. 

XXXVII. Hymenals, 23. 

XXXVIII. Zabdas, 10. 

XXXIX. Hermon, p. He was, as Eufebius 
tells us, the laft bifhop of this See before

his time.

He -was prefent in the great Nicene coun- 
cil. He fat, fays Nicephorus of Conftan-

at Patrse in Achaia.

X. Agrippinus, 14. 
XI Julianus, 15. 

XII. Demetrius, 2 1 . He was a man of great 
zeal and piety, and underwent many trou- 
bles in the perfecution at Alexandria. He 
was at firfc a great friend to Origen, but 
afterwards became his enemy ; laying fome 
irregularities to his charge, partly out of 
emulation at the great reputation which 
Origen had gained in the world ; partly in 
that Origen had fuffered himfelf to be or- 
dained prefbyter by two other bifhops,, 
Alexander bifhop of Jerufalem, and The- 
ocliftus of Caefarea. 

XIII. Heraclus, a man of philofophical ge-

was advanced to the government of the 
church, the care whereof he took for fix- 
teen years, ^^m 

XIV. Dionyfius, 1 7. He was one of the moft 
eminent bifhops of his time. In the per- 
fecution under Decius, he was banifhed 
firft to Tapofiries, a little town between 
Alexandria and Canopus ; then toCephro, 
and other places in the deferts of Lybia.. 
But a large accoumnrfhis own and other 
fufferings, with various tranfattions of 
thofe times, we have out of his letters yet 
extant in Eufebius : he died in the twelfth 
year of the emperor Gallienus. 

XV. Maximus ; of a Prefbyter he was made 
bifhop of Alexandria, and fat in that chair 
1 8 years. 

XVI. Thomas, 17. To him fucceeded 

XVII. Petrus, 12. He began his office 3 
years before the laft perfecution. He was 
a man of infinite ftriclnefs and accuracy, 
and of indefatigable induftry for the good 
of the church. He fullered in the ninth 
year of the perfecution,with thelofsof his 
head, gaining the crown of martyrdom : 
After whofe death came in the profperous 
and happy days of the church, Conftan- 
tine the Great turning the black and dif- 
mal fcene of things into a ftate of calm- 
nefs and ftrtnity. 

XVIII. Achillas, 9. By him Arius, upon 
his fubmiflion, was ordained prefbyter. 

XIX. Alexander. 23. Under him Arius be-

A CHRONOLOGICAL 






A CHRONOLOGICAL INDEX of the YEARS and TIMES from ADAM unto CHRIST, 
Proved by the Scriptures, from the Collection of divers Authors. 

J he fum of the years of the Fuji Age. 

unto Noah's flood are 



FROM Adam 
years 1656. 
For when Adam was 150 years old he begat 

Seth. 
Seth, being 105 years, begat Enos. 
Enos, being 90 years, begat Cainan. 
Cainan, being 70 years, begat Mahaleel. 
Mahaleel, being 65 years, begat Jared. 
Jared, at the age of 1 62, begat Enoch. 
Enoch, being 65 years, begat Methufelah. 
Methufelah, at the age of 187, begat La- 

mech. 
Lamech, being 182 years, begat Noah. 
Noah, at the coming of the flood, was 600 

years old, as appeareth, in the 7th chap. 

of Genefis. 

The whole fum of the years are 1 656. 

'ROM the faid flood of Noah, unto Abra- 
ham's departing from Chaldea, were 

422 years and ten days. 
For the faid flood continued one whole year 

and ten days. 
Shem, (which was Noah's fon) begat Ar- 

phaxad two years after that. 
Arphaxad begat Saiah when he was 3 5 years 

old. 
Salah, being 30 years old, begat Eber. 
Eber, at the age of 34, begat Peleg. 
Peleg, being 30 years, begat Reu. 
Reu, being 32 years, begat Serug. 
Serug, being 30 years, begat Nahor. 
Nahor, being 29 years, begat Terah. 
Terah, being 130 years, begat Abram. 
And Abraham departed from Chaldea when 

he was 70 years old. 
Thefe accounted, are 422 years and ten 

days, 

FROM Abraham's departing from Ur in 
Chaldea unto the departing of the chil- 
dren of Ifrael, are 430 years, gathered as 
followeth : «- 

Abraham was in Charran five years, and de- 
parted in the 75 th year : 

Begat Ifaac when 100 years old, in the 25th 
year of his departing. 

Ifaac begat Jacob; when 60 years old, 

Ifrael was in E^ypt 220 years. 

Then deduct 80 years from this ; for fo old 
was Mofes when he conducted the Ifrael- 
ites from Egypt, 



So the reft of the years, that is to fay, 130, 

are divided between Amram and Kohath. 
Then Kohath begat Amram at the age of 

67 years. 
Amram, being 65 years, begat Mofes., who, 

in the 80th year of his age, departed wjth 

the Ifraelites from Egypt. 

So this chronology is the 430 years men- 
tioned in the 1 2th chap, of Exodus and 
the 3d chap, to the Galatians. 

FROM the going of the Ifraelites from 
Egypt unto the firft building of the 
temple, are 480 years, after this chronol- 
ogy and account. 

Mofes remained in the defert or wilder nefs 
40 years. 

Jofhua and Othniel ruled 40 years, 

Ehud, 80 years. 

Deborah, 40 years. 

Gideon, 40 years. 

Abimelech, 3 years. 

Tola, 23 years. 

Jair, 22 years. 

Then they were without a captain, until the 
1 8th year of Jephthah. 

Jephthah, 6 years. 

Ibzan, 7 years. 

Elon, 10 years. 

Abdon, 8 years. 

Sampfon, 20 years. 

Heli, judge and prieft, 44 years. 

Samuel and Saul reigned 40 years, 

David was king 40 years. 

Solomon, in the 4th year of his reign, began 
the building of the temple. 

Thefe are the 480 years mentioned in 
the firft book of Kings, chap. vi. 

FROM the firft building of the temple, 
unto the captivity of Babylon, are 419 
years and an half. 
Solomon reigned yet 36 years. 
Rehoboam, 17 years. 
Abija, 3 years.

ERUSALEM was re-edified, and built* 

again after the captivity of Babylon, 79 
years. 

The captivity continued 70 years. 

The children of Ifrael were delivered the 
firft year of Cyrus. 

The temple was begun to be built in thejj 
fecond year of the faid Cyrus, and finifh-. 
ed in the 46th year, which was the 6thJ 
year of Darius. After that Darius hadl 
reigned 20 years, Nehemiah was reftored j 
to liberty, and went to build the city, 1 
which was finifhed in the 3 2d year of the 
faid Darius, 

All the years from the building of the tern* ] 
pie again, are 26 years. 

The whole fum of years amount to 70, i 

FROM the re-edifying of the city, unto I 
the coming of Chrift, are 483 years,! 
after this chronology. 

It is mentioned in the 9th chap, of Daniel J 
that Jerufalem fhould be built up again,! 
and that from that time, unto the com- 
ing of Chrift, are 69 weeks, and every! 
week is reckoned for 7 years. So 69 weeks! 
amount to 483 years ; for, from the 32d 1 
year of Darius, unto the 42d year of AuM 
guftus, in which year our Saviour Chrift 
was born, are juft and complete fo many 
years, whereupon we reckon, that from, 
Adam unto Chrift, are 3974 years, fix 
months and ten days ; and from the birtl 
of Chrift, unto this prefent year, is 1803. 

Then the whole fum and number of years 
from the beginning of the world unto this 
prefent year of our Lord God 1803, are 
5777 years, fix months, and the faid odd 
ten days.

PORTRAIT ct an APOSTOLIC PREACHER, from CqiTPJtM. 



f^t^HE pulpit thetefore (and I name it, fill'd 

With foledin awe,, that bids me well beware 
With what intent I touch that holy thing) 
Mult (land ackncwledg'd, while the world fhall ftand 
The moft important and effectual guard, 
Support and ornament cf virtue's caufe. 
There Hands the meflenger of truth. There frands 
The legate of the ikies. His theme divine, 
His office facred, his credentials clear. 
By him, the violated law fpeaks out 
Its thunders, and by him, in 'drains as fweet 
As angels uie, the gofpel whifpefs peace. 
He 'ftablifhes the jj^»ng, reftores the weak, 
.Reclaims the wanorer, binds the broken heart, 
And, arm'd himfelf in panoply complete 
Of heav'nly temper, furniihes with arms 
Bright as his own, and trains by ev'ry rule * 
Of holy difcipiine, to glorious war, 
The facramental hoft of- God's elect. 

I venerate the man, whofe heart is warm, 
Whofe hands are pure, whofe doctrine and whofe life. 
Coincident, exhibit lucid proof, 
That he is honed: in the iacred caufe. 
To fuch I render more than mere refpeet, 
Whofe actions fay, that they refpeet themfelves. 

Would I defcribe a preacher, fuch as Paul, 
Were he on earth, would hear, approve, and own, 
Paul fhould himfelf direct me. I would trace 
His mafter ftrokes, and draw from his delign. 
I would exprefs him fimple, grave, Sincere ; 
In doctrine uncorrupt ; in language plain ; 
And plain in manner. Decent, folemn, chafte, 
And natural in gefture. Much imprefs'd 
Himfelf, as confeious of his awful charge, 
And anxious mainly that the flock he feeds 
May feel it too. Affectionate in look, 
And tender in addrefs, as well becomes 
A meflenger of grace to guilty men. 
Behold the picture ! — Is it like ?— Like whom? 
The things that mount the roftrum with a ileip, 
And then fkip down again. Pronounce a text. 
Cry, hem ; and, reading what they never wrote 
Juft fifteen minutes, huddle up their work, 
And, with a well bred whifper, clofe the fcene. 



In man or woman, but far moft in man, 
And moft of all in man that minifters 
And ferves the altar, in my foul I loathe 
All affectation. 'Tis my perfect fcorn ; 
Object of my implacable difguft. 
What ! — will a man play tricks, will he indulge 
A filly fond conceit of his fair form 
And juft proportion, fafhionable mien, 
And pretty face, in prefence of his God ? 
Or will he feek to dazzle me with tropes, 
As with the di'mond on his lily hand, 
And play his brilliant parts before my eyes, 
When I am hungry for the bread of life ? 
He mocks his Maker, proftitutes and fhames 
His noble office, and, inftead of truth, 
Difplaying his own beauty, ftarves his fleck. 
Therefore, avaunt ! ail attitude and ftare, 
And ftart theatric, practis'd at the glafs. 
I feek divine fimplicity in him 
Who handles things divine : and all befide, 
Though learn'd with labor, and though much admir'd 
By curious eyes and judgments ill inform'd, 
To me is odious as the nafal twang 
At conventicle heard, where'worthy men, 
Milled by cuftom, ftrain celeftial themes 
Through the preft noftrils, fpedtacle beftrid. 

He that negociates between God and man, 
As God's ambaffador, the grand concerns 
Of judgment and of mercy, fhould beware 
Of lightntfs in his fpeech. 'Tis pitiful 
To court a grin, when you fhould woo a foul ; 
To break a jeft, when pity would infpire 
Pathetic exhortation ; and t' addrefs 
The fkittifh fancy with facetious tales, 
When fent with God's commifiion to the heart 
So did not Paul. Direct me to a quip, 
Or merry turn, in all he ever wrote, 
And I confent you take it for your text, 
Your only one, till fides and benches fail. 
No : he was ferious in a ferious caufe, 
And underitood too well the weighty terms 
That he had ta'en in charge. He would not ftoop 
To conquer thofe by jocular conceits, 
Whom truth and fobernefs affail'd in vain.

A CLERGYMAN'S 



A CLERGYMAN'S ADDRESS to MARRIED PERSONS at 



the ALTAR. 



THE duties between man and wife are various and im- 
portant. They fuppofe the union not of perfons only, 
but alfo and principally of affections. It is not joining of 
hands, but of hearts, which conftitutes marriage in the fight 
of God. This alone brings and preferves the fexes together, 
and both fanctifies and perfects this moft folemn and facred 
connection. But where this is wanting, the mere cohabita- 
tion of man and woman, in fpite of all the ceremonies in the 
world, is nothing better than a legal proftitution. The office 
fays, and with great propriety, that, fo many as are coupled 
together otherwife than God's word doth allow, are not joined 
together of God, neither is the matrimony lawful. 

See,'then, that no motives of intereft or convenience deceive 
you into a notion that you love one another while you do not. 
It is not the bare form of vowing in the moft folemn manner 
at the altar, that can poffibly give a fanction to falfehood, or 
render innocent fuch mercenary lies. 

Trifle not, I charge you, in this awful inftance, with the 
God of Nature, truth, your own hearts, and your own comfort ! 
Surely of all kinds and degrees of proftitution, that which 
fcreens itfelf under cover of the law, is the moft criminal ; and 
fhe who gives her hand to the man whom fhe does not in fact 
prefer to the whole world, is almoft as worthlefs to all intents 
and purpofes as a common proftitute. God never winks at the 
violation of nature, nor fuffers it to take place with impunity. 
But this muft be the cafe in every marriage where mutual at- 
tachment is wanting.. And that family is uniformly curfed 
with the moft fubftantial wretchednefs, where there fubfifts no 
love between the heads of it. 

You, who are the hujband, muft treat your wife with delicacy 
and difcretion. Nothing in nature is fo endearing, fo winning, 
fb captivating,, as tenderness ,• nothing creates averfion fo foon, 
fo ftrong,. fo inveterate, as rudenefs, indifference, or difrefpect. 
She is the weaker veffel, and depends on you for protection 
and comfort, in all her difficulties. For your fake fhe has left 
her friends, her connections, and all the world, and fhould ihe 
meet with a tyrant inftead of a lover, fhe may repent of this 
day as long as fhe lives. Never incenfe nor infult her ; and 
as you wifh to keep your own temper and peace, ruffle not 
her's : for croffnefs and afperity, efpecially when they fettle 
into morofenefs and ill nature, are the qualities of a favage, not 
of a chriftian. Never^ on any pretence whatever, fquander 
that in drefs, drinking, or diffipation, which you lhould lay by 
for the benefit of your family. By all the laws of God and 



man, of juftice and love; they have an exclufive claim on what- 
ever you- can earn ;; and every unneceffary indulgence which 
you give apart from them, is at their expenfe and injury. Con- 
fult your wife, efpecially on all cafes of difficulty ; it is her 
intereft as well as duty,- to give you the beft advice fhe can, 
Never keep her ignorant of your circumjlances : this has been the 
undoing of millions of families. The wife who deferves the 
name, will never fait to economize, when fhe knows that her" 
partner's circumftances require it. Be not much uneafy though 
the world fhould fometimes think (he has her full fhare of in- 
fluence. Women of good fenfe feldom abufe their hufbands' 
confidence. And you will fee few happy families in which the 
wife is either a flave or a cypher. *% 

Mutual happinefs is your mutual object; yield therefore to 
one another. Be ye equally yoked, is the command of God ; 
let neither feek bafely to throw an undue weight on the other's 
fhoulders. Suffer no interference from any quarter whatever 

to interrupt your harmony : you are connected for life. 

Nothing can feparate your fate in' this world ; O let nothing 
divide your affections. Regard each other with the fulleft 
confidence ; the leaft fpark of fufpicion from either, muft for 
ever blaft the comfort of both. There can be no harmony 
where there is no faith. 

A wife fhould not only love her hufband, but on every occa- 
fion fhew him all the attention in her power. Study by every 
means to make his. home comfortable and inviting. Where the- 
treafure is, there will the heart be alfo, and a man's prefence, as 
well as his heart, will always be there moft, where he has moft 
pleafure. And I will venture to affert it as a fact inconteftible, 
that he who finds his home a paradife, will feldom ftroll into 
the wildernefs of the world. While on the other hand, a 
fcolding wife and a hot houfe have driven many a wretched 
hufband to a tavern, where cards, women, and wine have fealed 
his own and the defruBion of his family. 

In a word, be. habitually loving and kind to one another. 
Have no feparate fecrets, nor allow yourfelves any airs of 
myftery : but open out your whole hearts to each other. Con-- 
ceal as much as poffible one another's foibles, and cultivate 
habits of affability, forbearance, and good nature. Never be 
fullen, or in a pet with each other, efpecially in the prefence 
of ftrangers. And, to fay ail in all, love and live together as 

I the heirs of glory ; and may the richeft bleffings of Almighty 
God be your mutual portion both in this world and in the 

I next..

JUDEA, PALESTINE, OR THE HOLY LAND. 



PALESTINE is bounded on the north by Mount Libanus 
or Lebanon, which feparates it from that part of Syria, 
mcien.ly called Phoenicia'', on the eaft by mount Htrmon, 
which feparates it from Arabia Deferta ; on the ibuth by 
Arabia Petrea : and on the weft by the Mediterranean Sea, 
or Sea of Syria. 

Th's country received the name of Paleftine, from the 
Philiftines, who dwelt on the fea coaft : it was called Judea, 
from Judah : and is termed the Holy Land, being the 
country where Jefus Chrifl was born, preached his holy doc- 
trines, confirmed them by miracles, and laid down his life for 
mankind. 

Paleftine i's about one hundred and eighty five miles in 
length, and generally eighty in breadth ; it is liruated between 
3i°and 33° 40' north latitude. 

The climate of Paleftine is, during a great part of the year; 
very hot. The eafterly winds are ufually dry, though they 
are fometimes tempeftuous ; and thofe which are wefterly, 
are attended with rain. Though the heat might be expected 
to be exceflive, yet Mount Libanus, from its uncommon height, 
is covered all the winter with fnow. 

The firft rains, as they are called, generally fall about the 
beginning of November ; and the latter rains in the moi.th of 
April. In the country round Jerufalem, if a moderate quan- 
tity of fnow falls in the beginning of February, and the 
brooks foon after overflow their banks, it is thought to fore- 
tel a fruitful year ; and the inhabitants make rejoicings upon 
this occafion, as the Egyptians do with refpect to the Nile :. 
but this country is feldom refrefhed with rain during the 
iummer feafon. 

The rocks of Judea are, in many places, covered with a 
foft, chalkv fubftance, in which is enclofed a great variety of 
fhells and corals. The greateft part of the mountains of Car- 
mel, and thofe of jerufalem and Bethlehem, are alfo covered 
with a white chaiky ftratum. In Mount Carmel, are gather- 
ed many ftones, which, being in the form of olives, melons, 
peaches, and other fruit, are impofed upon pilgrims, not only 
as thofe fruits petrified, but, as antidotes againft feveral 
difeafes. 

With refpect to the rivers of the country, the Jordan, call- 
ed by the Arabs, Sceriah, is not only the moft confiderable, 
but, rext to the Nile, is the largeft, either in the Levant or 
in Bar-bary. It has its fonrce at the bottom of mount Liba- 
nus or Lebanon, and is formed from the waters of two 
fountains, which are about a mile diftant from each other. 
One of them Ik's to the eaft, and is called Jor ; the other 
which is expcfed to the fouth, is named Dai:, The conflu- 
ence of the two ftreams is found near the ancient city 
of Cxfarea Philippi, which is at prefent only a village, and 
called Beline. The river begins its courfe between the E. 
and S. and after running feven miles, falls into the lake Sa- 
mochon or Mathon, at prefent called Huletpanias, which 
is fix miles in length, from north to fouth, and about four 
in breadth from eaft to weft. The Jordan iiTues from this' 
lake, and flows through the plain, palling under a ftone 
bridge, called Jacob's Bridge, which confifts of three ar 
well conftructed. The river continues its courfe as far as 
the lake of Tiberias, near the ancient cities of Corazin and 
Capernaum, where it mixes with its waters. When it iiTues 
from this lake, which is about eighteen miles in length, and 
eight in breadth, it takes the name of Jordan Major, divid- ' 
ing Perea from Samaria, the plains of the Moabites from 1 
Judea, and receiving the waters of the Dibon, the Jazer, the 1 
Jacob, and the Carith ; after being augmented by thefe 1 



ftreams, in a courfe of fixty five miles from the lake of Ti- 
berias, or fea of Galilee, it difcharges itfelf into the Dead 
Sea. The Jcrdan, in the rainy feafons, overflows its banks, 
I to the diftance of more than four miles ;. and on account of the 
inequality of the ground, forms two or three channels. Its 
current is extremely rapid, and the water always muddy ; but 
when taken from the river, and put into any kind of veflel,. 
it immediately clarifies, and is fweet. 

The Dead Sea is a name of modern date ;' the ancients 
called it the lake of Afphaltites, the fea of Sodom, the Salt 
fea, the lake of Sirbon ; the Arabs name it Bahheret Lut •, 
that is, the fea of Lot. It is an hundred and eighty miles in 
circumference. The lofty mountains of the country of the 
Moabites are on the eaftern fide, and difcharge into it the 
waters of Arnon and the jaret. It is bounded on the weft: 
and fouth by high mountains alfo. It is likewife on the weft 
that the brook Cedron, which rifes at Jerufalem, empties 
into this Sea- 

We are informed that this vaft lake was covered formerly 
with fruit trees and abundant crops, and that from the boicin 
of the earth, now buried under its waters, arofe the fuperb 
cities of Sodom, Gomcrrha, Adam, Seboiim and Segor. 
No plants of any kind grow in this lake. The bottom of it 
is black, thick, and 'foetid. Branches of trees, which fall into 
it, become petrified in a little time. The Dead Sea produces 
a kind cf bitumen, which may be found floating on the fur- 
face, like large lumps of earth. This bitumen is a fulphureous 
fubftance, mixed with fait j it is as brittle as black pitch, is 
combuftible, and exhales, while burning, a ftfong and pene- 
trating fmell. The ancient Arabs ufed it for daubing and 
embalming the dead, to p.vferve them from perifhirrg. The 
mountains near this fea produce a kind of black ftone, which, 
when poiiihed, has a beautiful luftre,- 

.A era, or Acre, now called St. John de Acre, and which the 
Arabs called Accho, or Akka, is one of the places from which 
the Ifraelites could not expel the ancient Canaanites, and was 
formerly reckoned among the ancient cities of Phoenicia. It 
is alfo known by the name of Ptolemais. Its G tuation is ad- 
vantageous : on the north and eaft, it is encompafTed by 
a ferule plain •, on the weft it is wafhed by the Mediterra- 
nean ; and on the ibuth by a large bay, which extends from 
the city as far as mount Carmel. It contains little more than 
a few cottages, and heaps of ruins. It is the residence oi the 
bafha of the province. 

To the fouth of Acra, is Sebafta, the ancient Samaria, the 
capital of the ten tribes after their revolt from the houic of 
David. It is feated on a long mount, which rifes in a fruitful 
valley, and is now converted into gardens'. 

A little farther to the fouth is Naplofa, t he ancient Sychcm, 
which ftands in a narrow valley, between M( unt Ebal oil the 
north, and Gerizim on the fouth. At a fmall diftance from 
Naplofa, is Jacob's well, famous for. Chrift's conference with 
the woman of Samaria. 

Jerufalem is encompafied with bills, fo that the city feems 
' as if fttuated in an amphitheatre : there are few remains of 
! the city, as it appeared in CJirift's time •, the fituation being 
: changed; for, Mount Sion, the higheft part of ancient Jeru- 
I falem, is almoft excluded : while the . adjoining to 

Mount Calvary, are nearly in the centre. This city, which 
i is about three miles in circumference, is fituated on a rocky 
mountain, on all fides of which arc fteep afcem t to- 

wards the north. The walls are not ftrong, nor have they 
any baftions. The city has iix gates. There are fuppoftd to 
be about twelve or fourteen thouiand inhabitants in Jerufalem. 

J a fa, 



yudea, Palestine^ 

jaf'a ; the ancient J'oppa, is the port where the pilgrims dif- 
embark. They generally arrive in November, and repair with- 
out delay to Jerufalem. 

Bethlehem, alfo called Ephrata, and the city of David, is 
famous for being the birth place of Chrift. It is about two 
mfles to the S. E. of Jerufalem, on the ridge of a hill ; it is at 
prefent only an inconfiderable place. 

Raha, the ancient Jericho, is eighteen miles N. E. of Jeru- 
falem, fituated in a plain fixty feven leagues long, by three wide, 
round which are a number of barren mountains. 

Habroun, or Hebron, is twenty four miles S. of Bethlehem. 
The Arabs call it El Kahil, the well beloved. It is fituated at 
the foot of an eminence, on which are fome remains of an 
ancient caftle. 

Nazareth is now a fmall village, on the top of a high hill. 

Cana of Galilee, otherwife called Cana Minor, celebrated 
for the miracle wrought by Chrift, of changing the water into 
wine, is at prefent only a fmall village, with very few inhab- 
itants. 

Sidon, called by the Turks Sayd, is fituated on the fea coaft. 
It was anciently a place of great ftrength, and had a very ex- 
tenfive commerce. Though it is ftill populous, and a place of 
considerable trade, it has fallen from its ancient grandeur. Its 
exports confift in filks, with raw and fpun cotton ; the manu- 
facturing of which employs moft of the inhabitants, amounting 
to about five thoufand. The city is defended by an old caftle, 
built in the fea. 

Tyre, called by the Turks Sour, is about twenty miles to the 
South of Sidon. It was once very famous for its purple, called 
the Tyrian dye, produced from a fhellfifh. This city was, in 
ancient times, the centre of an immenfe commerce and naviga- 
tion ; and the nurfe of arts and fciences. The ancient city 
ftood, originally, on an ifland, joined to the main land by a 
mole ; the remains of which appear at prefent. It has two 
harbours ; that on the north fide is very good ; but the other 
is choaked up with ruins. The prefent inhabitants are only a 
few poor fifhermen, who live in vaults and caves. 

Cefarea was at firft called Strabo's Tower ; and was the cap- 
ital of Paleftine. This city was divided into two parts by a 
little hill, whereon was erected a temple dedicated to Cefar. 

Jericho is fituated in a large plain about twenty miles long, 
and ten broad, bounded by different mountains on the fouth- 
weft, weft, and north ; at prefent it is inhabited by a few mif- 
erable Arabs. 

The Mount of Forty Days is fituated on the North fide of 
the plain of Jericho : the fummit of it is covered neither with 
ihrubs, trees, nor earth ; it confifts of a folid mafs of white 



or the Holy Land. 

marble : it is very difficult and dangerous to afcend, the pat! 
leading, by a winding courfe, between two difmal abylfes. 
This mountain is one of the higheft in the province, and one o! 
its moft facred places. It takes its name from the rigorous faft 
which Chrift obferved here. This mountain overlooks th 
mountains of Arabia, the country of Gilead, the country of th. 
Ammonites, the plains of Moab, the plain of Jericho, the river 
Jordan, and the whole extent of the Dead Sea. Oppofite to 
Jericho, beyond Jordan, rifes the mountain of Nebo. 

Mount Carmel, on the fouth fide of the bay of Acre, pro-, 
jec~ts, at one part, into the fea, forming a great promontory, 
called the point of Carmel. There are a number of grottos, 
gardens, and convents, on this mount ; as alfo many cifterns for 
receiving the rain water. On this mountain was a fortrels, 
called Ecbatane. 

Mount Tabor is moft delightfully fituated, riling amidft the 
plains of Galilee, diftant about twelve miles from the city of 
Tiberias ; it is diftinguilhed by different names, as Itabyrion, 
Taburium, and by the Arabs Gibelel Tor. It is in appear- 
ance, like a fugar loaf, and is covered from the top to the bot- 
tom, with fmall trees. 

Paleftine,which comprehends the ancient country of Canaan, 
and was occupied by nine tribes of Ifrael, has experienced many 
and fevere revolutions : The extreme fertility of the country, 
and its many advantages, and happy fituation, induced the 
neighbouring and powerful kingdoms to attempt its fubjection : 
moft of them fucceeded in reducing to obedience and flavery, 
the peaceable inhabitants ; the Perfians, Saracens, Syrians, and 
Romans, have alternately been mafters for a time ; and then 
obliged to yield to fupef ior force : Thefe treated the conquered 
with the utmoft barbarity, and committed the greateft devalua- 
tion and flaughter, not even fparing old or young, women, or 
helplefs children : Thus it continued, changing its ferocious 
mafters, until, in the twelfth century, the Turks taking Cefa- 
rea, the whole country fell into their poffeffion ; and has con- 
tinued under their power ever fince : The innumerable fcenes 
of blood and defolation exhibited in this country, have reduced 
it from that happy, fruitful and profperous ftate, fo beautifully 
defcribed in Deuteronomy, to an almoft uninhabited defert, 
and heap of ruins ; few traces of its ancient fplendour remain ; 
and confufion and doubt hang over all the refearches of the 
inquirer. 

The prefent mafters exercife their unlimited and tyrannical 
authority over their flaves, in Paleftine, keeping the miferable 
inhabitants in the utmoft fubjection ; governing them by Ca- 
liphs and Bafhaws, with rods of iron ; and holding them in 
the moft deplorable ignorance and fuperftition,
